Johnston. Then came the direct line
from Vera Cruz to the capital, with a
branch to Puebla. This was followed
by the Inter-oceanic Line across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and the
Great Central Trunk Line running
northward through Chihuahua TO Join
the railways of the United stat. Five
years after the first in2"gu9c Ion of
President Diaz there were Just over
1000 miles of railroad in operation in
Mexico. To-day there arc more than
10000 miles of railroad, and large ac-
cessions will be made year by year.
Not less marked and not less striking
rs an index of general culture and civ
ilization Is the rapid growth of postal
accommodation. In 1880, there we're
about 500 postofIlces. which forwarded
100000 letters; in 1901, the postofIlces
had grown to more than 1000, while
the letters had increased to 100. 1000, 900.
Meanwhile, more than 10000 miles of
telegraph lines had been added. of
which three-quarters belong to the

class of improvements we may record

ways, water supply and drainage

The Motl1erlY Hen.

they be too old to be regarded as hrst-
class layers. If hen Is constant III
purpose for the regulation three weeks
of incubation, with three or four days
extra for margin, 1t is a strong point
in her favor. After the brood Is hatch
ed the qualities of the good mother
are even more strongly felt. She Is
tame, ready to be handled, and as
result her chicks are not frightened
when confinement is necessary. She Is
willing to rest and hover her flock ire
quently when given a range OF her
own choosing, instead of rushing into
the wet grass with them, or running
them to death. When feeding time
comes she is brave enough to defend
them from the larger birds. who try to
get more than their share, and at night
is always ready to be shown into hei

this for herself, she is always In the

tions. yet in single one they fail com
pletely, thereby rendering themselve
almost worthless as mothers.-Susi

How John Fed His Chickens.

John Robert was a little boy three

there were great many hens and
chickens.
John thought It great fun to run
about and watch them.
There were three little bantams. that
were his greatest pets, and they real
ly seemed to know that John Robert
was fond of them; for they were very
tame, and would often come quite
close to the little boy. just as If they
knew he was their friend, and would
not hurt them.
One day John said to himself, II am
afraid my chickens are hungry" and
away he ran into the kitchen, and
found some pieces Of bread to give
them. When his mamma saw this, she
said, mo, no, little boy, you mustn't
take this bread to give your chickens.
This is for little boys and girls to
eat, not for chickens"
Poor little John felt very sad. and
sat down on the doorstep to think
what he could do. By and by he jumped
up. and ran off to the shed, and there
side by side, In corner, what do you
think he saw? Why. his papa's big
rubber boots, with such long legs they
were nearly as tall as little John him
self.
However John did not care how large
they were, for all the time he was
thinking how hungry the chickens were
waiting 80 long for their sinner. So
