A MISSIONARY HEN.
She Was brought from Koo-Koo,
China, and She Laid Eggs for
the Heather.

Some ten years ago Capt. j. Clifford
Entwisle, now city clerk of Salem,
then master of New York vessel sail
ing to China and japan, brought home
from China little hen. He named the
bird koo-Koo, for the town whence
she came. He presented the hen to his
wife, and the bird gradually became
pet of the house. She would lay her
eggs in the house.
Capt. and Mrs. Entwisle were in
terested in church and missionary
work. So Mrs Entwisle conceived the
idea of devoting the proceeds of the
eggs and chickens of Koo-Koo to the
missionary cause, and for the seven
years little Koo-Koo lived all her
earnings went to convert Chinese
heathens, and a good many dollars went
that way. The hen became as much of
pet as a cat or dog. She would Law
her egg and then go into the kitchen
and cluck until someone went and
found the egg; then she would fly up
on the window sill and peck at the win
DOW as a sign that she wished to go
outdoors.
Finally little Koo-Koo died, and was
SUN ~ anu uSeO as an ornament. Mrs.
Entwisle wrote a very pretty little
story, founded ON the history of Koo-
koo, and sent it to be read to the chill
dren in the far-away land whence came
the hen. There 1t took SO well that il
was translated into Chinese and read
to the little Chinese children in their
own language. 1t was the story of a
little hen called Koo-Koo, which under
took to support one little Chinese girl
that she might be educated. 1t con-
tanned an account of a meeting of the
children OF Koo-Koo, quite a numerous
tribe Of various ages.
After hearing that story read, Chi
nese boy painted a picture OF the meet
ing of Koo-Koo and her descendants
TO represent n scene described by Mrs.
Entwisle. 1t represents the old hen
and three younger ores, with eight or
ten very small chicks. The picture II
made on sheet OF brown paper, and
the hens are almost life-size for Chi
nese hens. 1t was sent to the mission
airy headquarters in Boston first, and
yesterday was sent down to Mrs. Emit
wisle, by whom il is highly priced

enough OF law &c appreciate some
things the. judge told him.

AT last the night came. The Judge
was decidedly nervous. The ben rang

told her about the judge, and she
blushed prettily when he was intro

After he had explained at some
length that his eavesdropping was
quite accidental, he began to argue
with her on the matter. She took the
same high ground as before-that IL
was doing Ned wrong. And she had
a pretty good case, too. At last he
said:
SO there is no way of turning you?
You would marry If your father were
not in prison for embezzlement?
She nodded and the Judge silently
handed her a long typewriter confes-

SHANGHAI, June 17.-Advices from

fires occurred in the eastern part of
the city, where three English and
three American churches were burned,
besides the residences of many for
eigners. Telegraphic communication
is interrupted, the poles having been
burned; and there is no hope of imme-
date repairs being made.
LONDON, June 1s.-There is no con-
firmation of the destruction of the le-
cations in Picking and the killing of
the German minister, Baron Won Ket-
teller, nor the later reports of fighting
between the British and the Chinese.
Dispatches from Shanghai state that
Admiral Seymour's force is in a tight
place between Lang Fang and Yung
Sun, with enormous masses of soldiery
in front, while the Boxers with more
soldiery are cutting the railway in the
rear. The column is reported short of
provisions and water. The Kiang Nan
arsenal outside of Shanghai is sending
vast quantities of munitions north.
According to a special from Vienna,
it is stated in diplomatic circles there
that the question of Intervention is
under discussion by the powers. 1t is
proposed that Japan shall act as man
datory of the powers and re-establish
order in Picking and elsewhere. This,
it is said, emanated from England and
it is supported by Germany and Aus

Attorney General Holds Insurance Sc

DIES MONIES, June 15.-Attorney
General Remley, in an opinion trans
mitted to the auditor of state, holds
that insurance companies must main
tain the legal reserve with the auditor
in the form of fully valid securities.
They cannot lawfully withdraw secur-
tiles on reinsurance and they cannot
maintain securities at the auditors
office which have been partially or in
whole liquidated. 1t has been the
custom of some companies, it is said,
to receive payments on notes and
mortgages in the possession of the
auditor, maintaining the full face of
the paper in claiming securities on de-
post. The attorney general says that
it is an illegal way to do the business
and that the persons paying on notes
not IN the possession of the company
lay themselves liable to collection a
second time by the state for the pro-
lection of policy holders, If that course
becomes necessary. The opinion is of
vast Importance to every insurance
company of this character.

Vicinity of Havana.
HAVANA, June l7.-Yellow fever has
broken out at Quemados. eight miles
from Havana, where United States
troops are stationed. Thus far there
have been fourteen cases, three of
which proved fatal. At present only
six are under treatment, and all are
expected to recover. Two soldiers
who married Cuban women were at
tackled, but they recovered. A SER
geant of the signal service died. Major
Frank Edmunds and Mrs. Edmunds
were both stricken. Captain Ives of
the signal service is in the detention
hospital under suspicion, but it is likely
that his disorder is nothing more seri-
Gus than malaria. Havana City is eX-
ceptiunally clear, only three cases be-
ing under treatment, which is less
than was the case during any month
of the winter. General Lee is taking
every precaution to prevent troops in
barracks contracting the disease. DIR.
Harvard believes that the fever at
Quemados is under check. 1t had
been several years since'there was an
outbreak there.
