FOR THE LITTLE ONES,
Family of Chicks That Were
fiatched In a Tree.

E0GbCUGO AH
About May / one Of our hens,
which was known to be laying, to-
tally disappeared. For some ten
DAYS she bafded all our efforts to
discover any trace Of her. At last
she was found sitting on the eggs
she had laid in a squirrels nest IN
a Scotch fir tree at a height Of six
seen feet from the ground.
For the remaining eleven days Of
her incubation the hen was watched
descending and ascending from
bough to Dough to her high perch,
at first every day once, but latterly
once every other day, as far as could
be observed.
On Thursday, May %, the hen
was found with six live chickens
and two dead ones at the foot of
the tree. Unluckily no one wit
messed the actual descent. She
could not, however, be persuaded to
enter an ordinary hen coop.
With some trouble the hen and
her six chickens were got eventual
~ on to some straw In an old rail
way carriage, which ] had erected
some years ago on the edge of the
hen run, which is sheltered from the
north wind by a fir plantation,
where many squirrels build their
nests.
In order to convey her chickens
from the railway carriage to the
ground the hen was seen to spread
out her tail and descend with all
six young chickens at once on her
back. Doubtless she had conveyed
them down the sixteen feet from the
fir tree in the same fashion, but
probably only one or two at a time.

Cutting Capars.

Stand with the toes together and
hands on hips; spring upward and
as you rise in the air cross your feet
and return them to the same posi-
ton. The toes must be. kept point
ed, or they will strike against each
other as they attempt to cross. Do
not heed the curious sensation as if
the feet we're held by bonds, but
persevere.

Cool In Summer, Warm In Winter.

Whereas the earth gets thorough
ly heated with a week of sun, the
temperature of the sea takes many
weeks to rise and is at its highest
point at time when the soil is al
ready cooling off. During the win
ter the sea slowly gives up its sum-
ner heat and SO warns the cir above
1t and the land near it. II summer
the process is reversed.

The Busy Bee.


Every head of clover consists Of
about sixty flower tubes, each of
which contains an infnitesimal
quantity Of sugar. Bees will often
visit 100 different heads of clover
before retiring to the hive, and in
order to obtain the sugar necessary
for a load must therefore thrust
heir tongues into about 5000 diff
terent flowers. A bee will take
twenty trips a day when the clover
oatch is convenient to the hive and
thus will draw the sugar from $780,
300 different flowers in the course
Of a single days work.

CONDENSED STORIES.
The Congressional Quartet" and Its
Limited Repertory.

Limited Repertory.
A number of representatives went
down the river early in the season.
to visit one Of the numerous rod
and gun club houses that prevail in
that vicinity. Fishing wasn't very
good and amusements palled, 50 the
Congressional Quartet" was formed.
Il was composed Of Speaker Hem
derson of Iowa and Representatives
Lands and Overstreet and Sergeant
at Arms Ransdell Of the senate, all
of whom come from Indiana.
There was a long discussion as to
what the quartet should sing The
three Indianians voted solidly for
con the Banks of the Wabash" and
flibustered against any other song.
AS a consequence the quartet sang
the Wabash song seven times in
rapid succession. Then by some
skillfm maneuvering Speaker Hem
derson subdued the state pride Of
the Hoosiers, and the quartet sang
There Us a Hole In the Bottom Of
the Sea.
No vote could be obtained on any
other song, and the quartet alter
mated these songs for three days
There was a great demand for the
services Of the quarte4 after the re-
turn TO Washington, bot 1t was inn
possible to secure an increase IN its
repertorY. The Hoosiers say the
Wabash IS the only song ever
written, and, while they allowed the
speaker to have his Bottom of the
Sea" song once IN awhile as a per
sonal compliment, they would not
go a step further than th it, Wash

There is more Cattarh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires consti-
tutiOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh

Story That Patrick Forged 1t De-
 nied-An Alibi For Defendant.
 NEW YORK, March 1S.-New and telling attacks were made yesterday by Albert T. Patriclx's lawyers on the tes- timony of Valet Jones.
 Tn the morning they established an alibi for Patrick covering the time Jones declared the defendant had given him a bottle of chloroform and urged him to put Millionaire Rice to death at once. Three women testified in the es- tablishment of the alibi, and one-a Bible student-fxed the time by having looked at her watch.
 In the afternoon the valet's story of the forgery of Rice's signature to the 1900 will was attacked. For this pur- pose Morris Meyers was first called. Meyers, as notary, and David l.. Short, as commissioner of deeds, appeared as witnesses to the signature of Rice to the 1900 will and other disputed sigma lures.
 Meyers said he saw Rice sign the will in the dining room at the million aires home.

George Bothner h Good Shape to
 Meet Parker.

Meet Parker.
 Max Luttbeg, the lightweight wrest- Ter, won two falls from William Law renee at Maennerchor hall, New York, last night. Lawrence was no match tor Luttbeg. The first fall was gained in 10 minutes and the second in mln- utes 5U seconds.
 If George bothner loses his match with Harvey Parker at the LenoX Ly- ceum, Fifty-ninth street and Madison avenue, on Saturday night, it will not be on account of lack of condition. Bothner wrestles six or eight men every day who are not lightweights in any sense. They are all strong, husky fellows, who, by appearances, would be picked to throw Bothner without an effort. Keen interest is centered in the match and there promises to be the biggest crowd at the Lyceum that ever was present at wrestling match.

Edwards is considered one of the best wrestlers in the coun try. and Harvey Parker, the Little Demon" is ready to back him against all corners. Winters is the wrestling partner of John Fleming, who will sec ond Winters. while Parker will look after Edwards's interests.

FitZ comes back with the assertion that $25,0tp is not enough money. If the fight ultimately goes to San Francisco club there may be trouble, if reports from the Coast are to be credited. It is said that a police official of prominence has made the statement that the club se- lected by the pugilists will have to give up $J ,O0O for a license, the money to go to some municipal charity. There is considerable jealousy among the Frisco clubs and there are indications already of a general taking out of ham, mers by those who fail to secure the match.
