MESSAGE WILL BE A LONG ONE.
Chances Are 1t WI Not Go Before
Congress Until Tuesday.


Washington. Nov. 2S.-The President S
annual message is practically completed
and ready for transmission to Congress
when it ASSEMBLIES next week.
The message will be unusually long on
account of the numerous and important
topics 1t discusses.
1t is not certain that the message will
be sent to Congress next Monday. 1t is
customary to send 1t on the day of the
assembling of Congress, but as the death
of the Vice President makes it certain
that the Senate, at least, will adjourn i'm
mediately out of respect to his memory
it is not unlikely that the message will be
held up until Tuesday.
In the House the adjournment will be
delayed, until that body is organized
when, upon the announcement of the death
of the Vice President it, also, will ad
journ.

WASHINGTON IRvING's LOVE
A Cherished Memory Which Re
nained with the Gentle Humor-
st Through Life.

No man of letters has ever held a
warmer place in the affections of his
countrymen than Washington Irving.
When 1.-The gentle humorist" died,
commercial New York flew flags at
hah-mast, and the city government
recognized his departure as an occasion
for public mourning. His life felt the
touches of romance.
Once the hand of Washington was
laid on Irving's head, and neither as
boy nor man did he forget the blessing
then given. He was born in New York,
a few months before the British evacu-
ated the city, and his patriotic mother
said:
"Washington's work is ended, and the
child shall be named after him"
One day the child's Scotch nurse saw
Washington enter a store, and followed
him in.
please, your honor" said she,
"here's a BARN was named after you"
Washington tenderly blessed the boy.
1t was while Irving was engaged in
writing his most humorous book,
"Knickerbocker's History of New
York" that there came to him the ro-
nance of great sorrow. Miss Hoff-
man, to whom he was engaged to be
married, died after a brief illness. This
death cause his life to lack "the great
event of marriage" and bequeathed a
cherished memory, which neither time
nor activity effaced.
When Irving died, in his seventy
sixth year, "a lock to which he himself
had kept the key" says Mr. DeWolfe
Howe, in his "American Bookmen."

and a beautiful miniature, with a slip
of paper marked in his own handwrit-
ing. Matilda Hoffman No less faith
fully had he kept her Bible and Prayer
Book throughout his life"
Irving's publisher, G. P. Putnam,
said that 40 years after Miss Hoffman's S
death, he had the miniature retouched
and remounted for its possessor, then
&c years old. "When l returned it to
him in a suitable velvet case, he took
it to quiet corner and looked intent
ly on the face for some minutes, ap-
parently unobserved,- his tears falling
freely on the glass as he gazed."
'Who shall say" asks Mr.. Howe, that
the oherishing of such memory as
this did not find its direct EXPIRE ssion
in the gentle chivalry with whifh he
bore himself as a writer and as a man.

Tonight
The Country Clergyman.

An old clergyman who had held q
cure in the depths of the country for
the greater part Of his life had occasion
to consult his bishop OH certain mat.
ter, and, in answer to his letter, re-
ceived an invitation to sleep the night
at the palace. For 10 or 5Oyears he bad
practically led the life Of recluse, aud
it was after many cogitations that be
decided to take the journey to the other
end Of the diocese, where the bishop
lived. He arrived just in time for 5
o'clock tea, a meal to which lie was a
complete stranger.
After tea the bishop asked him to &C.
company him to evensong When they
returned to the houee. the bishop, re-
marking that it was quite time they
went up stairs, lit a candle and showed
his guest TO his room. 1t was then just
2 o'clock, aud, though the old clergy
man thought it was rather early to re-
tire, still, admiring the bishop for suoh
simple habits, he prepared for bed. He
had just put out the light and lain
down to sleep, wishing he had drunk a
little more tea. when a booming noise
rang through the house and smote upon
his ear.
Quick as thought he spraDg from his
bed and. shouting Fire r. at the top Of
his voice, rushed out on to the landing
just in time to meet the bishop, with
lady on his arm, going down to dinner

1t was near one Of the large railroad
stations. A man rather advanced in
years, whose old fashioned attire and
open mouthed wonderment proclaimed
that he was visitor from the rural dis
tricts and not accustomed TO the every
day sights of large city, was suddenly
accosted by sharp visaged youth with,
Mister, yer dropped yer wallick. " AS
be spoke he held forth a large wallet
well stuffed with old revenue stamps
covered with couple of dollar bills.
Uncle Rube looked at the greenbacks
bullying out of the wallet with equally
protruding eyes, hesitated just one mo-
ment, and then, his cupidity evidently
getting the better Of him, reached for
it. Hold on; give us tenner furst,
exclaimed tho possessor of the wallet.
The old man quickly put his hand in
his trousers pocket; but, after a mo-
ment, drawing forth his empty hand,
he drawled out, "Take it out O. the
wallet"
The youth, closing the wallet with
i'll concealed disgust. turned on his heel
and hurried off The stranger in town
looked after tie youth a moment, and
then, muttering, "Gol dernI Missed it

Hens That Eat Their own Eggs.

AS q rule. when hens have suitable
food they don't eat their own eggs
To preserve eggs from being eaten un-
der exceptional conditions there are a
number Of devices. There is, for in
stance, a nest with a bottom of woven
wire with mesh big enough to let an
egg through. The egg goes through the
thin layer of hay with which the nest
Is lined and through the wide meshed
bottom to fall safely in bed Of hay IN
derneath.
Another device is automatic aud set
in operation by the chicken itself when
1t steps off the nest. Thus relieved Of
the chickens weight, the nest tits up
enough to roll the egg of into place Of
safety made for its reception.
Chickens are commonly carried on
deep water ships on long voyages to sup
ply eggs for the captain table and &C.
casionaIly fowl. Chickens at sea are
more likely to eat their own eggs than
they are ashore. To prevent this among
the chickens carried on his vessel the
captain Of an American ship rugged a
continuance that answered the purpose
and was adapted to the situation. He
attached TO the underside of the nest a
shoote by which the egg when laid was
carried safely down to box below
