DEcE1vrNG THE HENS.

Ehingham L. Tallman, of Blauvelt,
Rockland county, N. Y, claims to
have trained hen to lay three eggs
in one day. The shells are not well
formed, as the lime secretion does not
keep pace with the yolk and albumen
formation, but he hopes to remedy
this by a larger mixture of powdered
oyster shells with the mash.
The scarcity and the high price of
eggs have led chicken farmers to try
all kinds of devices to make willing
hens do double duty. One of the
commonest of these devices is the use
of trap nests. Instead of the ordi-
nary open nests these inventions have
trap doors, which close when the hen
enters. After the hen has laid an
egg she is allowed to come out, but
instead of permitting the hen freedom
and rest until the next day, some ava
ricious hen farmers let her out at the
rear of the nest instead of the front,
and the hen instead of being free finds
herself in another trap nest. Hav-
ing learned by experience that the
price of liberty is an egg, and believing
that she must be mistaken in think
ing she has just laid, there is nothing
for the poor hen to do but to lay
again.
Such duplicity ultimately destroys
the hens faith in mankind, and she
either ceases to lay or becomes pes
simist egg-eater and makes these de-
ceptions improbable.

PAPERS NOT WHOLLY PH1LANTHRoP1C.

1t seems singular that many persons
entertain the idea that newspapers are
printed entirely for philanthropic mo-
tives and that their columns should be
devoted to their especial benefit.
There is class who think that ad-
vertising is inserted more to fill up
space, and they consider that the pub
Usher of a local paper should be CRATE
full for the church notices they contri-
butte.
In nine cases out of ten the notices
which these benign brothers and sis
tiers send are really nothing more nor
less than advertising matter, for which
they ask publication without cost,
while they at the same time derive a
revenue by this method of reaching
the people.
They enter a newspaper office and
place their notices of church fairs, fes-
tivals and other entertainments on the
editors table with as much grace as
though they were rendering $50 bill.
The up-to-date local paper employs
a staff of men to collect news which
will be of interest to all classes.
These men are hustlers, know their
business thoroughly, and present the
news in the most concise and con-
densed form possible.
Instead of the publisher being de-
pendent on personal or communicated
matter to fill his columns, he is fre-
quently at his wits end as to how he
shall contrive to find space for legiti-
mate local news. He is obliged to
Gull material furnished by his news
gatherers and present to the public
what will be for the greatest interest
of all.
But it is not the news which sup
ports the newspaper, and the actual re-
turns from sales are but poor remun-
Grafton for the time and patience de-
voted to it. Therefore, the revenue
received which sustains the plant is
derived through its advertisingpatron-
age.
The publisher sells the space in his
paper just as merchant would dis
pose of his wares, and reading notices
are received at higher rate than dis
played advertising, there being no
bargain days in a newspaper Office.
We know of no profession where
there is so much liberality shown as
in the newspaper business, and SO lit
tie appreciated by those who receive
gratuitous favors through its columns.

ANCIENT Ep1rApHs.

The following epitaph is on the
tombstone of Shakespeare at STRAIT
ford-on Avon:
ssGood friend for Jesus sake forbeare
To dig the dust enclosed here;
Blest be he that spares these stones
And curst be he that moves my bones."
In churchyard near Stroud, Glou-
cestershire, this epitaph may be seen !:
my wife is dead and here she lies,
Nobody laughs and nobody cries:
Where she has gone to and how she fares
Nobody knows and nobody cares"
The good nature of Johnnie Dow is
proven by this epitaph:
'sWho is heref
I. Johnnie Dow.
Hoo Johnnie is that you?
Ay, mon; but I'm dead now."
In a little churchvard in the State
of New Jersey may be found an ex-
ample of the sacreligious manner in
which the memory of the dead is
sometimes maintained. This is the
inscription:
''She was not sweet. she was not fair.
But hearts with grief for her are swellin,
All empty stands her little chair.
She died of eating watermelon"
The famous Owen Moore epitaph
is we'll known. 1t stands clearly in
scribed on a slab of marble:
"Owen Moore has gone away
OWN more than he could pay"
The headstone of Anne Jennings,
in Woolstonton, bears this token of
esteem from her loving descendants i:
"Some have children, some have none
Here lies the mother of twenty-one."
In the case of Martha Smell, some
kindhearted friend speaks comfort
ing word relating to her afliction be-
fore death:
Poor Martha Smell hers gone away,
Her would If her could. but her couldn't stay
Herd twa sore legs and q baddish cough,
But her legs it was that carried her on
