cares aud struggling with the prob

lance of anywhere from twenty-five
10 fifty dollars a month, wrung az it,

poverty. Yet thousands Of men are
doing their humble and Obscurely
heroic parts in this way"
Do the priests or the clergymen who
labor in country districts display more
"heroism" or more "uuseltshness'
than do the farmers who cultivate the
fields in country districts?
Did the Master they serve coufiue
his work to the cities? He "wept"
over the city but did his mightiest
works out in the country. He was
born in a stable, worked at the car
penter's bench, suffered agony in a

M. Goodman. of Minot street, Bos-
ton. Is showing his friends q four
legged hen which he purchased In
Pittsfeld, Me-, a short time ago. So
far as known this is the only bird Of
Its kind in the world.
"You will notice." said Mr.. Goodman
to reporter the other morning, that
the tail grows on the right side OF
the bird, and yet does not interfere
with the use Of its wings.
1.-TWO of the legs grow in the Or
binary manner and support the body.
The other two are perfectly normal,
except that they grow backward in
stead Of downward, and the feet are
carried closed most of the time
"She weighs three and ons-half
pounds and was Matched on May 8
last" he added. showing the bill Of sale
as evidence.
The bird is Of the Rhode Island red
variety, and SO highly does the owner;
prize it that instead Of shipping it d.
rectly home he kept it with him during
four weeks business trip.
The chicken seems to be in perfect
health, and, in the words Of the own
er, "she likes to have you watch her.
See her strutl"
