eggs were obtained by c. Carroll Lo-'
ring. of Norfolk county, Mass, who has
introduced them.
The male is of reddish butter color,
with neck hackle little darker. The
comb is of cup shape, and from this
and the yellow color they get the name
Buttercups. The females come laced
somewhat on the back and are Of light
er color than the males. They lay very
large eggs and are very prolific. The
mature birds weigh from five and one

males and from four and one-half to

HOdV Lice.

To reach body lice on fowls it is nec-
cssary to handle each bird, applying a
good insect powder through the feath-
ers and close down to the skin. If this
Is done three times, about a week or
ten days apart, the birds will thereaft-
er keep themselves substantially free
Of body lice if supplied with good
dust bath. This Is the method adopted
on the large poultry plants.

The Product of the Young of Certain
 Scale Insects.
 The large order of hemiptera in cludes what are known as scale in sects (coccidae). some of which are very destructive to fruit trees, while others are the source of cochineal, and, per haps, were the mama upon which the children of Israel fed in the will derness.
 The life history of these insects in- cludes motionless pupa stage, simi- lar to the chrysalis of moth or but terfiy. Before passing into this dor mant and helpless condition, the young of certain scale bugs make their way Into the earth, and then sticky fluid exudes from their bodies and quickly hardens into protective coating, re- sembling plain or colored glass, and causes them to look something like beads, so that in some parts of the world they are known as ground pearls"
 The best known of these are dug out of the earth in the West Indies and strung into necklaces or other orna- ments. Similar objects are prized and worn by the natives of other regions.

Tn this aspect the cat is vastly supe- rior to the dog, which is faithful to those who maltreat him, while a cats fidelity takes the form of gracious ad- herence to those who serve him. He has proof of his philosophy We knew an old lady, lodging in the suburbs, who spreads bread on the lawn every morning for the sparrows. Every morning, as the sparrows ate, the kind old lady's cat, ready behind the box bush, took his toll.

A TRUTHFUL INDIAN.
He Didn't Get Tired Like the Rest
 For Very Good Reason.

He Didn't Get Tired Like the Rest,
 For a Very Good Reason.
 Clement Scott, the English dramatic critic, took profound interest in the American Indian. He had at his tongues tip hundred incidents where with to illustrate odd phases of the Indians character.
 There was a farmer in the west who was hard put to it for help upon his farm. Indians were plentiful in the neighborhood, but they were poor workmen. Always tired, they would put down the hoe or rake as soon as the masters back was turned, and, se- lecting a cool spot, they would lie down on the grass and sleep the day away.
 But one morning very tall, robust Indian asked the farmer to give him work
 't'No,' said the white man. you will get tired. You Indians are always get ting tired
 "'Oh, no,' said the other This In jun never get tired. This Injun not like the rest
 We'll, I'll try you,' said the farmer, and he engaged the man. He put him to work in wheatfield; then he went away for an hour or two. When he re- turned he found the Indian asleep un- der tree.
 Here, wake up here,' he cried. You told me you never got tired
 "'Ugh,' said the other, yawning, this Injun don't But if he not lie down often he would get tired just the same as the rest"

It don't do young feller any good to start out with record for bad judgment. But what's got me is HiIlyers quar excite ment all along. Why, he is as nervous as he can be. It don't look like he'd be that away with all that profit on his side. An then, whenever thar'd be a rise an anybody advised i'm to sell, he'd always turn to George and ax i'm what about it-never knowed i'm that way before an whatever George would say went. But the old man is rattled bad this morniR."
 "You say he ts?"

 Kenner and Hanks stood under the awning in front of the warehouse when George and the merchant ar rived. They all went into the office together.
 "You think Jacobs & Go. are the best to deal with, then?" the old man was saying eagerly. Lord, my boy, ef we slipped up now couldn't stand it. We must trade with solid parties" :"
 Jacobs & Co. is all right" put in Kenner. They are as good as the bank.''
 Some banks ain't wuth shucks,' 7 said HiIlyer. Look lem up, George. See what their commercial rating is.''
 George opened an enormous, green covered book on the desk, ran over the pages for moment and turned. EThey are quoted from three hundred to five hundred thousand; credit AL he said.
 "Oh, yes, they are all right" said Kenner. You'll get every cent they agree to pay. Don't you think so, Hanks?'
 Hanks shrugged his shoulders. 'T don't know thing about 'em,' he re sponded slowly, .'but eff it was my deal I would"
 Yes you would" laughed Kenner, who never met an occasion too serious for stab at Hanks. You'd know the teeth was filled before they saw yore money.''

 There was silence for a moment. Hillyer looked as if he were on the verge of a nervous collapse. T don't know what to do," he said in a plain tive voice, land we've jest got to act.

 "Of course" gasped Hillyer. That's the very thing. I'll run up to the tele- graph ofice'
 George followed him to the door and detained him in the sunshine on the sidewalk. "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Hillyer" he questioned in much concern.
 For moment the old man gave him an almost frantic stare.
 ''I know you think Pm crazy,'' he said, but I can't be calm when so much is at stake. It seems to me, George, that ef this thing falls through without gain I'm lost forever. No; don't stop me. I'll tell you every off the track; tell 'em anything. It ain't nonejo' the'r business nohow."
