seBlue Hens Chickens.

Everybody knows that natives of
Delaware are called "Blue Hens
Chickens" but not one in hundred
can tell you why they are so called.
The epithet is said to have had its orr
gin in the following:
One of Delaware's most gallant fight
ers in the war of the Revolution was a
Captain Caldwell, who was notorious
for his fondness for cockfghting. He
drilled his men admirably, they being
known throughout the army as "Cald-
wells Gamecocks."
This same Caldwell held to the pc
cnliar theory that no cock was really
game unless its mother was blue hen.
As the months wore away CaldwelPs
men became known as the blue Hens
Chickens" title which only increased
their respect for the old gamecock cap
tain. The nickname became famous
and after the close Of the war was APP

A Compliment to the Enemy.

Chattanooga creek was the dividing
line between the outposts of the Fed
eral and Confederate armies, and dur
ing lull in hostilities the pickets of
both cultivated one anothers acquaint-
ance, having agreed not to fire on one
another. One day when the captain Of
the Union guard saw General Grant,
with his stiff, approaching he said to
his men, "Turn out the guard for the
commanding general" The Confeder-
ates on the other side of the creek; not
more than fifty feet away, heard the
order, and their captain, conceiving the
idea of paying compliment to the en-
envy, shouted, "Turn out the guard for
the commanding general Of the Federal
army" The Confederate pickets stood
at attention for several moments and
then saluted Grant as he rode away.

Water In the Kalahari Desert.

Water In the Ka1ahari Desert.
The bushmen in the Kalahari desert
often live scores of miles from places
where water comes to the surface.
During certain part Of the year sharp
storms pass over the Kalahari, cover
ing the apparently arid region with the
brightest of verdure and filling for
few short days the water courses with
roaring torrents. The bushmen know
how to find water by digging in the
bottoms of these dried up river BEDS
They dig hole three or four feet deep
and then tie sponge to the end of a
hollow reed. The sponge absorbs the
moisture at the notion of the hole, and
the natives draw 1t into their mouths
through the reed and then empty it into
calabashes for future use.
The animals that inhabit such wastes
as the Kalahari are Of course accus-
toned to living upon very small and
infrequent supplies of water. The Bech-
uana do not lead their cattle to the
drinking places oftener than Ance in
two or three days. 1t is said that goats
in the Kalahari frequently pass months
without water

New Stars

1t is suggested by Louis Rabourdin, a
French writer, that in each of the new
stars that blaze forth in the heavens
from time to time we see the destruc-
ton of celestial body by volcanic
cataclysm. At any rate, he says, if
part of the earth's crust underlying the
ocean should give way our earth would
doubtless present in succession to
distant observer the same series of APP
pearances that we witness in the case
Of ''noyp," or new stars. First there
would be an oGtburst of blazing hydro
gen from the sea water decomposed
by the earth's internal heat, then fu-
sion Of the whole crust, reducing the
globe again to molten state, and then
the gradual extinction of its light ow-
ing to cooling. AS cooling would first
take place locally, we should have
variable star, the darkened portions
being periodically brought into view
by the rotation of the globe.-Success.
