Eggs Fer wear
We hear a great many stories about
the hens that laid 200 eggs each per
year. We would like 10 see large
flock OF say hundred hens that would
lay even 1876 eggs per year each. We
know people that have kept steady
account for years Of their fowls, and
we're never able to get much above
the i0O-egg mark. In fact, II one could
be assured that his hens would lay 100
eggs each In a year he would have n
safe business In which to invest. We
are speaking Of the common run OF
farm focks. The flocks In mind were
composed OF Plymouth Rocks and
Brown Leghorns. most OF them OF
doubtful age.
Hogs In Spite OF Cholera.-It Ia gen

question Is never pertinent one
whether we can AFFORD 10 quit growing
hogs ON the farm. The sole problem
confronting him. and II Ia a most vital
one. is how TO grow hogs with the
least chance OF loss by disease. We
believe the matter rests largely with
proper methods OF feeding. together
with proper regard for cleanliness and

He Got the Information.

Peter Bunda, who has been married
only two weeks, has left his wife.
Bundy is little man, and his wife
weighs two hundred and forty pounds,
and was the relict of the late Seth
Potts. About ten days after marriage
Bundy was surprised, on awakening
in the morning, to find h better-hah
sitting up in bed, crying as if her
heart would break. Astonished, he
asked the cause of her sorrow, but
receiving no reply, he began to sur
mise that there must be some secret
on her mind which she withheld from
him, and which was the cause of her
anguish, so he remarked to Mrs. B.
that as they were married she ought
to tell him the cause of her grief, so
that, if possible, he might lessen it.
After considerable coaxing he elected
the following from her:
"Last night I dreamed / was sin
gle, and as walked through we'll
lighted street l came to shop where
a sign in front advertised husbands
for sale. Thinking it curious, l en-
tered, and ranged along the wall on
either side were men with prices
affixed to them--such beautiful men
some for one thousand dollars, some
for five hundred dollars, and SO on to
one hundred and fifty dollars. And,
as l had not that amount, l could not
purchase"
Thinking to console her, B. placed
his arm lovingly around her, and
asked:
"And did you see any men like me
there ?"
"Oh, yes" she replied, "lots like
you; they were tied up like asparagus,
and sold for ten cents per bunch
Bundy got up, and went to ask his
lawyer if he had sufficient ground fol
a divorce.

flights of his imagination did either
Homer or Hesiod ever conceive of
garden richer in verdant beauty, more
productive Of luscious fruit, or set
amid more picturesque and lovely
surroundings. Here the rose entwines
the orange, and the snow-mantled

Old Virginia Taverns.

Here in Virginia we have some
famous hostelries. The old Raleigh
tavern at Williamsburg lives in ro-
nance and history. 1t must have
been we'll kept, for contemporaneous
writers speak Of it so very respectfully.
They could not have written of it as
they did had the proprietor furnished
them with tough beefstakes or bad
bread, or sent them to shabby cham
bers, or hired man with kohinoor
in his frilled shirt bosom to give them
short answers to civil questions.
Tavern was once the great name
here. The Bell tavern, which preced
ed the present St. Charles, was fam
Gus place of resort when Byrd's tobac-
co warehouse stood on the opposite
side of Main street, and it had a
worthy contemporary in the Washing
ton tavern, which is now the St.
Claire.
The Eagle tavern was of later date
and was grander house than the
other two. In it Lafayette was en-
tertained in 1894. The Eagle stood
on the south side of Main Street,
between Twelfth and Thirteenth, and
had an archway-the port cochere OF
the present day-into which the stage
coaches drive and landed their
passengers.
Fire destroyed it early in the forties
and from the city's need for another
good hotel the Exchange arose.
The Exchange, the Ballard House,
the Columbian Hotel, the Powhatan
(Ford's) hotel, the Monumental
(St. Claire) and the St. Charles and
the Spotswood were all in operation
here at one time.--Riehm0nd Dis
