A Notional Hen.

At Los Alamos, a tiny settlement in the
Salt River valley, near Phoenix, there is
a fine rose-comb white leghorn hen-one
of the most Industrious birds ever known,
that will make her daily contribution to
the product of the chicken yard under no
circumstances unless she can find a high
drop. She crawls up under the rafters of
her proprietor's porch and deposits her
egg in a canvas bag, with hole in the
bottom. made especially for the purpose.
She makes a great deal of noise when her
days work is completed Then her owner
comes out unties d string at the bottom
of the bag and let's its egg roll down
into his hand. Fifteen other hens OF
the same brood will lay only in one nest

ticulaTly if they happen to be Indians.
A very respectable gentleman said he
saw with his own eyes rs pounds of
gold weighed out for Is pounds of
sugar to an Indian. The common way
for an Indian to buy a dollar in silver
is to pile it up with gold dust.
The Yankee dealers take all kinds of
advantage OF them; by false weights,
etc. An ounce will be made to weigh
two, two ounces four etc. A disbanded
volunteer who shipped on board the
Lexington told me that one day, be-
ing very hungry at the mines, he had
paid S13.50 for one meal. Mr.. W
told me that he himself made an Indian
pay him So for a. small mess of food
standing in saucepan at which he
was enviously looking. Mr.. W, in
three days, found himself $500 and with
an outlay of SIS, 900 he cleared $50, 600.
Mr.. Smith. of the firm of Ward &
Smith, went to the gold grounds among
the Indians, and he says he dealt fair
". and in two or three weeks cleared
$4,000 by the sale of his goods. DR..
Parker, late surgeon of the volunteers,
turned merchant in San Francisco,
and in four weeks said he took in $780,,
600 in gold dust to $4,000 in silver.
A Californian sometimes comes into
store with his leather bag full of
gold dust. and. after taking an article,
not speaking English, he tells the mer-
chant TO take as much as he thinks
right. Imagine Yankee helping him
self! DR.. Perry, another surgeon in the
army, told me that on one night in one
visit he made $50. a doctor at the
mines had the impudence Git was so
regarded by others) to charge 800 for
an emetic, for which, most uniustly
as he thought, being mobbed, he was
driven from the mines. He said he
thought he had a right to charge for
his information. The man died, how
ever. A box Of sedlitz powers sold

The Enterprising Schoolboy Who Slept In
the Coronation Chair.
1t is a long walk from the dining
room of the Westminster school to the
coronation chair, which stands behind
the old stone screen just back of the
altar in the abbey, but there is an in
teresting Connection between the two.
This chair as is we'll known, is rude,
heavy oak chair, much worn by time.
1t contains the "Stone of Scone" and

1897, and every English sovereign since
then has sat in it to be crowned

P. Abbott, it seems was a Westminster
scho0lhoy. and a tradition, which there
is every reason TO believe is true, tells
that he made a wager with a school
mate that he dare stay in the abbey all
night alone.
In order to win his wager he hid in
some corner of the old building until
the doors We're locked for the night and
thus was left alone there. Fearing,
however, that when morning came the
boy with whom he had made the bet
would disbelieve his statement that he
had won it, he determined to have
some proof of the fact, and so spent the
hours of the early morning in carving
on the coronation chair the sentence
which, even now, nearly a century aft

Wanted Her Husbands Opinion About
Many Trivial \ oints of Dress.
A certain up town Clevelander is the
happy possessor of marital interest in
very pretty and accomplished lady.
She is fond of nice clothes and always
looks we'll dressed, and her husband is
just as proud of her as he should be.
But from Il technical point of view he
knows nothing whatever about her gar
ments, and it bothers him greatly when
she assumes that he does. She fires
broadsides of questions at him when
ever she is dressing to accompany him.
"George, how does my skirt hang?"
Is it too long in front?" docs my
belt cover the pins?'' "Do you think
this gown is becoming?" "Is my collar
down at the back" "Are there any
wrinkles i'll this waist?' ''Is my hat ON
straight?' These and hundred other
interrogations are fired at him at short
intervals. If he doesn't pay close atten-
tion she gets cross So he pretends to
listen carefully, and answers glibly, al
though always at random.
The other day neat way of getting
even dawned upon him. When he was
dressing that night for a party, he sud
denly called his wife from the adjoining
rOOm
"Alma," he said, "do you think
these new trousers hang just as grace
fully as they should?'
why, George - she said. II don't
know anything about it. Why do you
bother me?"
"Hold on," said George, 81 was
wondering if this shirt bosom sits quite
right"
"Of course it does" snapped Alma.
''And these shoes-do you really
think they are becoming to my COM
pleXion:"
"What q silly question.
''And-hold on, Alma-isn't t the coat
a little long i'll the tails-on one side, l
mean-and can't you pin it up?"
"Why, George, l never heard you
talk such nonsense. You haven't been
drinking, have you?"
"And-just wait a minute, Alma.
He quickly raised his silk hat from the
dresser and clapped it oD the back of
his head "Now, dear, please pay at
tention. Is my hat on straight?''
Then she understood his wicked little
game.
They walked together i'll silence until
they came within sight of their destina-
ton, and the deeply wounded Alma
managed to stammer:
well, George, you mean old thing,
is my hat really and truly on straight"
Whereat they both laughed. -Cleve-

TONlCS.
Two Edged Swords Capable of Mischief
as Well as Benefit.

Two Edged Swords Capable of Mischief
Well Benefit.
There is perhaps no class of remedial
agents more abused than tonics. The
abuse consists both in the excessive use
and the misapplication of this class of
agents, which, within a restricted field,
possess an indisputable and important
therapeutic value The misuse of tonics
is doubtless the outgrowth of miscon-
ception of the real nature of this class
OF remedial agents and it's limitations.
Many physicians also seem to lose sight
of the fact that tonics are, as has been
aptly said of drugs in general, two edged
swords, which are as capable Of mischief
as OF benefit. Indeed, when the true na.
ture OF tonlcs-as is true, in fact, of most
medicinal agents-is thoroughly under
stood, 1t is apparent that even in cases
i'll which they accomplish the maximum
of benefit there is also "a certain amount
OF injury inflicted upon the organism,
so that the effect obtained is really and
simply the difference between the mis-
chief done and the good accomplished.
Ii the difference is on one side, the total
result is benefit; if Oh the other side, the
result is harm. This principle holds
good with regard to most remedies,
whether the means employed is drug
or il nonmediCinal agent
The popular idea of tonic is we'll
expressed in the following definition,
which we find in the National Medical
Dictionary, "An agent which augments
gradually and permanently the strength
and vital activity of the body or its
parts. A stimulant is defined by the
same authority as being can agent which
increases the functional activity of any
organ or series of organs. - The distinc-
ton made seems to be that u stimulant
produces temporary excitement, whereas
tonic produces permanent increase
Of strength and vital activity.-Good
