SITTING HENS.

About this time the sitting hen be.
comes dear to the housewife. 1t fire,
quently happens that a hen will sit a
day or two, and just about the time
the eggs are spoiled she will conclude
to quit, and it is usually pretty hard
TO persuade her to begin again.
To prevent accidents of this kind il
is best to let hen sit for few days
before trusting her with sitting Of
eggs. Pullets are quite apt to change
their minds on the subject of sitting
and when sitting hens are scarce this
is very annoying.
To prevent this every sitting hen
should have nest which can be made
quite dark when she is brooding. This
may be accomplished by having the
nest in box with only hole in one
side, large enough for the hen to creep
in at. When she goes on the nest the
hole may be turned toward the wall
of the room she is sitting in. This will
keep the nest dark and at the same
time prevent it from becoming too
close from lack of ventilation.
No sitting hen should be allowed to
sit where other hens can get into her
nest and bother her, for this often re-
suits in broken eggs and poor matches.
If eggs become broken in the nest and
the others fouled with the contents,
or if they become covered with any
thing that closes the pores in the shell
the chick in the egg will die from lack
of air. To prevent this the eggs
should be carefully washed when an
accident of this kind occurs, in water
little above blood heat. Do not use
soap of any kind in washing eggs, but
carefully wash them, using cloth
until they are perfectly clean, doing
this as quickly as possible and return
ing the eggs to the nest as soon as
washed, and no harm will come to
them. 1t is best to take but one egg
from the nest at time, washing it and
returning it before taking another out
Feed the hens nothing but whole
corn and water and allow them to
take a dust bath every day. Be sure
that the hen has no lice on her before
setting her, and do not put insect pow
der on her while she is sitting. To dc
so may kill the chicks in the eggs

RECEIVED A SHARP REToRT.-Two
young ladies, very genteelly dressed,
were lately riding in street car. One
of them, whose features were more re-
markable for all excessive prominence
of nose than anything else, exhibited
to the other a picture of herself, which
she said had just been taken, and
they were engaged in discussing its
merits, when an elderly lady got into
the car. She was evidently one OF
those inquisitive yet good natured
souls who take a deal of innocent lib
erty in the world without thinking any
harm. After riding short distance,
she held out her hand, and said to the
lady with the picture:
"Piease let me look at it,"
Her modest request was met with an
indignant frown, and the reply, as the
case was returned to the lady's pocket
"It's none of your business"
The old lady settled back in her seat
very complacently, when the compan'
ion of the one with the picture asked
"What do you wish to do with it?'
"Oh, nothing" replied the old lady
~ only wanted to see how successfully
the artist had put so large nose on
so small plate"
The lady with the likeness covered
her face and dropped her veil during
the remainder the ride.

Humorous department.
REDEEMED THEMSELVES.

The late General Rosecrans ran up
against a tartar once, but he had the
good sense not to let his ruffled digni
ty cause him to lose his temper. The
story, as told by Colonel James L
Sterling, is as follows:
Company, A of the Seventh Ohio, wa:
formerly the light guards of Cleveland
and was one of the very best drilled
companies in the army. 1t was com
manded by Captain Creighton. The
Seventh Ohio was in West Virgins
in 1861, and "Old Rosy" was in com
mand. The supplies for the army
were brought up the Kanawha river
in boats, which were unloaded BY de
tails from the regiment. Genera
Rosecrans had ordered that soldier:
on duty must wear their equipment
Company A was sent out to unload
boat, and Captain Creighton permitted
the men to take off their. equipment
and their coats as we'll while engaged
in this hard work. When the work
had been completed, the men and Off
GERS sprawled out on the grass for
rest, and then General Rosecrans and
some of his staff rode up. The genera
looked at the soldiers a minute anC
then called for the commanding officer
Captain Creighton did not know Gen
eral Rosecrans, but he rose to his feet
"Who commands this company p
asked the general.
81 do to the best of my ability" re-
piled the captain.
'sDon't you know, sir" inquired the
general sternly, "that it is against
orders to allow the men to remove
their equipments when on duty?"
81 have heard some such order,
said Captain Creighton, "but the mar
that issued it never did days work
in his life. When my men have tc
work hard, III see him in the Other
place before III let them swelter with
their accouterments on"
"Old Rosy" stared at the cool cap
tain a moment and then rode down
toward the boat.
A soldier approached Capt. Crelgh
ton and said:
"Do you know who that is p
"No, and 1 don't care"
"That's General Rosecrans, the com
mander of this department."
"Whew w CALCULATED Captain Creigh'
ton. "Company, fall in ~
Without question it was the finest
company in the command. When the
general and his officers rode back from
the boat, the company in full equip
ment stood in perfect order and gave
him a present in such splendid style as
to attract his attention. General Rose
Grams returned the salute and request
ed the captain to put his men through
the manual. When it was finished,
the general raised his hat, turned to
the captain and said:
II think that company that can
handle muskets as well as that should
be allowed to unload a steamer with
out anything on if they want to-

fere in any serious degree with the
productive capacity of our country OF
100000 people nor is their main
tenance, even in these expensive days
of warfare, likely to impair the credit
of the government a particle. Still,
we shall probably have "war prices"
to a certain extent, just as the prices
of certain imported goods have ad-
vanced with the imposition of higher
tariff duties. The government has
got to have a larger income to meet
the direct cost of war und to pay inter-
est upon the bonds which may be
issued, and in whatever form this is
raised it will add something to the
cost of the things which are used in
the household. When the bill now
being considered by congress becomes
law, we shall know exactly what ar
ticles will be increased in price through
this war measure.
When, a month ago, it became near
ly certain that there would be war, a
great many retail dealers throughout
the country, and especially in the
south, decided that prices would 90
up, and some of them advanced their
prices at once, while at the same time
buying new goods freely to reap the
advantage of the advance. In our own
markets prices have advanced on a
great many things. Beef has gone up
about cent pound at wholesale, and
retailers have advanced its price con-
siderably more than that. Potatoes
are selling from $3.50 to So barrel,
as against about 81 less a year ago.
Apples are dear, and there has been a
slight advance in the price of quite u
number of groceries. Among the rep

mirer of Mr.. Hill, 1 understand, tAat
the editor of McClure's Magazine,
which is the magazine that is now to
republish some Of the stories, first got
knowledge of them. He FASTENED to
put himself in communication with the
author, whom up to that time he had
never seen or heard of. and an arrange
ment agreeable to both parties was
soon reached.
1t isn't often one finds in a writer of
stories a man of such position, down
right quality as Mr.. Hull is. He is a
publisher himself now, being president
and treasurer of the American Machin-
list; and if anyone will study the pub
fishers announcements in that paper,
he viii soon see that there must be
back of it a person who will not be
fooled with. A man of square, strong
build, dark complexion and certain
bluntnesS Of manner, he shows at once
a good capacity for taking care of him
self, whether in physical or moral diff
culties. He is now just 40 years old,
and he has had sufficient variety and
adventure in his life to furnish forth
any number of books. He is a native
of Vermont. but grew up in Wisconsin.
He learned the printers trade, served
an apprenticeship in a machine shop,
and then took to the locomotive. At 20
years of age he went seeking his for
tune in the Rocky mountains. Most of
his first year there was spent in the
erection and operation of mining ma
chinery at Leadville. Then he went
to the Ute reservation, in search, as he
once said to me, "Of gold. excitement
and glory" and found only excite
ment." For the larger part of nine
years he was a locomotive fireman and
engineer on the Denver & Rio Grande
railway. The line grew during his
connection with it from one of 600 miles
to one of 1000 miles; and Hill was one
of the men who helped it to make it's
way through some of the most difficult
crossings in the Rocky mountains. He
did a good deal in the Rockies besides
engine firing and driving, though. For
one thing, he established a, daily paper
at Pueblo, and, to quote again his own
phrasing of the experience, as he once
related it to me in conversation, he
hunted grizzlies and Utes, and slept
under the trees and the stars, and with
heroes and horse thieves"
It will be seen by all this that in go
ing back now on a visit to Colorado,
Mr.. Hill returns to a locality that has
plenty of lively memories for him, and
as he has never allowed his acquain-
lance with the railroad men of 20 years
back to lapse, 1 feel pretty confident

New York, June 30.-The announce
ment that the Independent is prepar-
ing to follow the example of the Out
look, and adopt the magazine form,
renews the question, asked rather fire.
Quently of late, whether the weekly pa
per is not doomed. Certainly it has
become-to use the phrase just now
enjoying the most rapid growth in cir
culation among us-''a pretty hard
proposition" What has made it so is
the Sunday magazine supplement to
the regular daily newspaper. To the
illustrated weeklies the war promised
at first to be a great boom. 1t may
prove to be so. Certainly the public
at this time has little patience for read
ing; and certainly, for a time at least,
it had an almost mad interest in war
pictures. Should this state of mind
continue long enough, the illustrated
WeeklieS would come back to some
thing like the prosperity of earlier
days for in the matter of pictures the
Sunday magazine supplement, great
~ improved though it is over what it
once was, still leaves much TO be de-
sired. But, in ordinary times, 1t takes
harder and harder persuading to in
duce people to buy even an illustrated
weekly, when the daily paper that they
are going to buy anyhow, whether they
buy a weekly or not, offers them more
reading matter than they can possibly
dispose of between Sunday morning
and Monday morning. Under the edi-
torShip of a man of genius no doubt
the weekly paper might continue TO
flourish; but in the ordinary way, ana
as an established form of periodical
publication, it is little likely, L should
say, ever to become again the fine
thing commercially that it has been.

Speaking of Mr.. Gibson reminds me
of what a well known portrait painter
was saying the other day about Glib
sons American Girl" Mr.. Gibson him
self. so far as 1 know. has never con-
tended for the pre-eminent American
ness Of his girl, but his admirers have
very much insisted on it. What the
portrait painter was saying is that Glib
sons American girl is anything but
American. And he goes into detail on
the subject; he takes eyebrows, eyes,
jaw, shoulders and bust, and shows you
conclusively Chat is, if you are not too
unwilling to be persuaded) that the
beautiful and oftentimes heroic crea-
ture whom Mr.. Gibson finds such pleas
ure in depicting, rare and fine as she
is. is still in none of these particulars
American. Continuing the argument,
he contends that Gibson's girl is,
after all. but an idealized-though still

sons favorite model. Miss Davis, and
that Miss Davis has an Irish father and
