A friend wants us to tell him how to
identify the old hens from the full
grown young hens in his large flock;
in other words. how to Gull out his
two year old hens. While there is no
reliable mark or indication, as teeth
in horse or rings on cows horn,
there is still to the practiced eye a
marked difference in the appearance of
the aged hens as compared with the
young ones. They are more clumsy,
heavier fatter. 1t is act hard to pick
them out.

An Interesting Incident.

Rev. J. W. Goodlin, D. D., was very
intimately acquainted with William
Mckinley, our martyred President.
Mr.. Goodlin was pastor of a Lu-
theran church in Canton, in the days
of Mr.. Mckinley IS young manhood, and
they resided within one square of each
other. The former was president OF
the Y. M. C. A. of Canton, and young
Mr.. Mckinley was their very efficient
worthy secretary.
There was meeting appointed for a
certain evening, which proved to be
extremely frainy, when only Rev.
Goodlin, Mr.. Mckinley and one other
gentleman were present.
They decided to have services with
the three, when with other devotions
each lead in pervent prayer.
Rev. Goodlin regards Mr.. Mckinley
as one of the most consistent and ex-
emplary christian men he ever knew.
When Gov. Mckinley was here at
the laying Of the corner stone of Me-
meorial Hall, he drove out to Rev.
Goodlin's home north of the city, to see
him, when meeting of mutual glad
ness was enjoyed. Rev. Goodlin asked
him if he remembered that meeting,
and Mr.. Kinley replied: "Yes, Twill
never forget that meeting"

Jennie Smith.

Miss Jennie Smith, who is remem-
bered as most patient but great suf-
ferer, in our city, over twenty-five
years ago, and who has since had a
most remarkable career as an evange-
list, was over here Sunday, and
spoke in the Methodist church in the
/ afternoon and at the Big Four shops at
noon, yesterday. At the latter meet
ing she had good crowd OF rail-
road men, who listened with great in
terest to her plain but earnest talk on
Iintemperance. The whistle blew be-
fore she had got through with her ad-
dress and the machinery was started;
but with the wave of the hand, she said
she had been given more time, and Mr..
Voges stopped the whirring wheels till
she got through. She came here as q
representative of the Y. M. c. A. Her
home is in Washington, D. c., and the
whole country is her field. Some years
after she left here, the family lost
track, for several years, of brother,
Frank, who was on the Pacific, and he
finally saw notices in the papers OF her
being at Canton, and through address
| ing President Mckinley found their
whereabouts. He soon came East to
see them, and three months afterwards,
their mother died.
Miss Jennie came here from Spring
Hills about 1872. Her fatheR at one
time was Postmaster of that village.
She finds many new faces here, but
there are many whow she recognizes as
old friends. We were glad to see her
looking so we'll. Her work is in so many
fields, and her travels, have made her
q very interesting conversationalist-
one who can do all the talking and do
| it well. Her fund of personal expe-
riences is rich, and her relation of them
very interesting. Her work has been
for her Master, aud it has had great
results.

San Juan Schoolgirls Kept In,

New York Sun: The Porto Ricar
newspapers record the fact that the
girls in the school on the Plaza Color
at San Juan have been kept in. Keep
ing school girls at work after the usual
hour for closing school as punishment
for obstreperous conduct in lesson time
is sample of American notions of dis.
cipline that has astonished the easy
going Porto Ricans.
They don't do things that way there.
When the news travelled around that
the teacher was keeping the girls at
lessons as a punishment, parents crowd
ed to the school and demanded to have
their children released. The princi-
pal declined to do any such thing and
the parents stood around and talked
about it in great Indignation.
After an hour or so during which
the girls were good, they were sent
home, San Juan is still talking about
the severity of its new American teach
ers,

REFORMED PRESBY=
TERRAIN CHURCH.
Appointment Of a New Professor

At an adjourned meeting of the
Synod Of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, held on the evening of the 3rd
inst. in the Trinity Street Reformed
Presbyterian Church, Belfast, the Rev.
John Lynd, d. D., minister of the Dub
lin Road Church, Belfast, was chosen
to the professorship of Hebrew. and
Biblical Criticism in the Theological
Hall. Professor Lynd received his col
legiate training at Magee College,
Derry, where he had a distinguished
course. He obtained the Ironmongers'
Scholarship, and also gained in mental
and moral science the only gold medal
that the Faculty ever gave. Shortly
after completing his theological course
Mr.. Lynd went to America, where he
had a successful pastorate, and was
called to act as Professor of Greek in
Geneva College, U. S. A. He returned
to Ireland about sixteen years ago, ac-
cepting call to the Ballylaggau con-
gregation, over which he ministered
with great acceptance for several
years. On the formation of the Dublin
Road congregation in Belfest twelve
years ago, Mr.. Lynd received a unani-
nous call to be the pastor, which he
accepted. Since that time Belfast has
been the scene of his labours, and the
thriving congregation which meets in
the Dublin Road is living witness to
his success. Three years ago the de-
gree of D. D. was conferred upon him
by the trustees of Geneva College, and
his congregation took advantage of the
occasion to present DIR. and Mrs. Lynd
with, substantial marks of their appre-
citation. Besides diligently attending to
the work of his own congregation, DR.
Lynd has taken a leading part in Pres
bytery-a and Synod, and has for num-
Der of years been convener of the Con-
gregational Aid Scheme. He also
takes practical and active interest in
temperance, Sabbath observance, mis-
sions, and other benevolent enterprises
outside his own Church. That he is a
diligent student is evidenced by the
thoughtful, practical, and stimulating
discourses to which his congregation
is treated Sabbath after Sabbath. Not
only the members of his congregation.
but the Reformed Presbyterian Church
at large will rejoice at the honour now
conferred on DR.. Lynd, whose exper-
ience, earnestness,i scholarship, teach
ing ability, and character mark him as
eminently qualified for the position of
professor,-Belfast Qrelandl Witness,

Toledo, Columbus, Springfield and

was in town Tuesday in company with
r. w. Thompson of Peoria. The gen.
tlemen were feeling the pulse of the
people and looking along the proposed
route between Peoria and Marysviile.
The road has been assured as far as
Bellefontaine, where it will connect
with the line to Urbana and Spring
field. They are looking for good out
let to Columbus, and if proper ell
couragement Is given will build
through Peoria to Marysville and
thence to Columbus instead of running
to Mechanicsburg and striking the Co
lumbus and Urbana line. There are
many advantages favorable to the
Peoria line.-Marysvill Tribune.

Death of Mrs. Stairwalt.

Mrs. Martha Stiarwalt, aged IS years
five months and seven days, died
Monday morning at her home on wes'

illness from the infirmities OF age.
Mrs. Stiarwalt was the youngest

To this union there were born eight
children, four of whom survive, Will
liam Stiarwalt, Mrs. Ida Nelson,
Mrs. Amanda McColloch, and Mrs.
Ada Hackenger, all residents of this
city.
Mrs. Stiarwalt was a member OF the
Methodist Episcopal church and a
devoted Christian woman, and a kind
and loving mother. She was posses
sed of remarkable memory and fund
of "reminiscences and was most enter
tanning in conversation to the last.
OF vigorous mind and generous dis
position was Mrs. Stiarwalt and her
life was useful one of many deeds OF
kindness and charity. She did not
murmur when she knew her last ill
ness had come upon her but was brave
and cheerful and resigned and the
family of son and daughters, so de-
voted to the mother, will ever carry
blessed memories of her.

charge of burglarizing the Dickinson

They were arrested at Muncie, Ind,
and were peripatetics. No home talent,

they were able to plead not guilty, but
that won't be counted against them
