immoral and unhecoming conduct have
been made against him. His action
caused great deal of surprise here.
The exact nature of the charges are
unknown, but there is suspicion that a
woman is mixed up in TIE case.
Mr. Allen was generally held in high
esteem. altho during the past few
months he has been engaged in bitter
personal conflict with the pastor of
the local Methodist church. Mr..
Hughes, which stirred up considerable
feeling at times. AS a result OF this
friction Mr. Allen removed to Des

Ii has become known here that sew
eral of the preachers of Mr.. Aliens

him and made an effort to get evidence
10 substantiate them.
Among Mr.. Aliens friends here there
is n disposition not to believe the ac-
cusations against him. They declare
that there must be some mistake or
else that Mr. Allen is not responsible
for his conduct.
Mr. Allen has stood high in the
Methodist church in Iowa and had held
several important; pastorates before he
was called to his position as presiding
elder.

The suspension bridge across the

OF the most remarkable echoes In the
world. The sound Of a blow with a
hammer on one OF the main piers is re-
turned In succession from each Of the
crossbeams which support the road
way. and from the opposite pier at the
distance OF 576 feet in addition to
which the sound is many times re-
peated between the water and roadway
at the rate OF twenty-eight times In
nye seconds.
An equally remarkable echo is that
OF the castle of SImonetta, noble
mans seat about two miles from
Milan. The report OF a pistol Is re-
peated by this echo sixty times. A
singular echo is also heard In a grotto
near Castle Comber. in Ireland In
the garden OF the Tuileries, In Paris.
IS an artificial echo which repeats a
whole verse without the loss OF sin
gle syllable.
Another wonderful echo is heard out
side the Shipley church. in Sussex.
which echoes some twenty syllables In
the most perfect manner.
The well known echo at Woodstock
repeats itself no fewer than fifty times.

Timothy Varney. who lives three
miles east of LIE Sueur and keeps
about 200 hens has been greatly
troubled. as have most people who
keep hens, by the persistent de-
sire manifested by the fowls to set,
in season and out. on eggs. stones
or door-knobs or anything else
that comes handy But he has
got hold of plan now which he
has quietly tried this season with
perfect success, and which he war
rants will cure the worst Light
Brahma cluck that ever vexed the
heart of man of all desire to set,
and all in less than three hours.
The cure consists of cheap
watch with loud clear tick to it,
inclosed in case that is white and
shaped like an egg. When hen
manifests a desire to set out OF
season he gently places this bogus
egg under her sheltering breast
and the egg does the rest. 1t ticks
cheerfully away. and soon the hen
begins to show signs of uneasiness
and stirs the noisy egg around
with her bill. thinking. perhaps,
that it WAS already time for it to
hatch and there is chicken in il
wanting to get out. She grows
more and more nervous as the
noise keeps up. and soon jumps
off the nest and runs around awhile
to cool of, bnt returns sgain to
her self imposed duty. 1t gets
worse and worse with her, and she
wiggles about and cackles. ruffies
her feathers and looks wild. until
at last, with a frenzied squawk.
she abandons the meet for good
and all, That incubating fever is
broken mp completely.
Mr.. Varney finds use for hslf a
dozen of these noisy eggs, and
claims that they pay for their cost
over and over during the year by
keeping the hens at the business
of laying and not permitting them
TO waste the golden hours in useless
incubating.

In the district known as s.the barony
OF Forth" in County Wexford, Ireland.
is to be found a race OF hardworking,
industrious peasants. living In thatch-
ed cottages with clean, whitewashed
walls. which by their perfect whiteness
at once arrest the attention Of the Wis
itor. These people differ in many re
spects from the inhabitants OF the
other parts of the same county and
have habits and customs peculiar to
themselves. When a funeral takes
psace two wooden crosses are provid-
ed. On the way to the cemetery a
halt in made at a certain spot by the
side OF the road Here prayers are
said for the deceased, after which one
cross is Deposited In a hawthorn bush

on its way. and after the interment
the ether cross is fixed at the head OF
the grave. This strange custom dates
from time immemorial, as the great
