Mrs. Lucy ]. Fisher, wife of Pat
rick Fisher, a farmer near Normal,
Grant county, Ind, is the possessor
of an unusual brood, consisting of a
hen and 12 quail.
One of Mrs. Fishers favorite hens
was missing from the flock for sew
eral weeks, and was only seen occa-
sionally when she came from wheat
field on the farm to get something to
eat. She acted as if sitting on hid
den nest in the field, but all efforts of
Mrs. Fisher to locate the nest were
unavailing. One day Mrs. Fisher fol-
lowed the hen through the field to an
open ditch, where she found her try
ing to coax her brood, consisting of
a dozen young quail, to cross the
ditch. The quail were old enough to
fly when pressed, but returned to the
hen on being called. The hen and the
quail seemed as much attached to

Believes Sudden Jar To Nerves of In

The Brookline (Mass.) board Of
health, which is systematically eXter-
minating mosquitoes by means of
kerosene oil, is about to take up a
suggestion calling attention to new
process for lessening the evil by
means of musical sounds.
The discoverer of the new process
says: SIT has been found that practi-
cal application has been effected by
raising to great number of vibra-
tions per second the particular note
to which the mosquito is most sensi-
lively attuned. This intensified note
produced by sudden electrical irh-
pulse upon n musical instrument
causes every mosquito near to plunge
headlong to the instrument and die"

Mental MathemnticianH Get to Work

Nearly Nothing.

Whitelaw Reid of New York in tho
annual address before Phi Beta Kappa
society, of Vassar college, discussed di-
vorce and it's attendant evils. He said:
six hundred and fifty-four thousand per-
sons divorced in this country during the
last 20 years"
This statement, says the narrator of the
story, caused wrinkles and burrows to form
on the forehead of one prim maiden. A
flash of the eye, and then whisper to
an attentive classmate: That's equal to
32,700 persons a year"
The classmates brow now began to
denote activity: "Or 2,725 persons q
month"
COR 6Sl persons week." said the
first mental arithmetician.
"Ninety,seven persons each day sever
marital relations" was the next computa-
ton.
"Why, that's only four persons an hour"
came as cheerful rejoinder.
Pooh, only one couple every half
hour"
And they say there are 10000, 900 peo-
pie in this country"
