CUPID WINS At CARDS.

A game of cards and q losing streak
have placed Michael Sheridan and
John Gallagher of McAdoo, Pa, In
the matrimonial market. They played
with Condy Friel and Michael Bren-
nan. best two out Of three, the losers
to make proposals and be married
during the year 1908.
Each team won q game and the
third created more enthusiasm than
a baseball contest, because of the sol
emn stake. The cards were dealt
fairly and with firm hands, the score
being close, but neither side showed
signs of creating disturbance to end
the game.
With a tie score and one point to
win, the cards were dealt the last time.

DEcEIHlNe THE HENS.

Ehngham L. Ta1lman OF BlauveIt,
Rockland County, claims to have
trained a 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 larger
mixture OF powdered oyster shells with
the mash
The scarcity and the high price OF
eggs have led chicken farmers 10 try all
kinds OF devices to make willing hens
do double duty. One OF the commonese
OF these devices Is the use OF trap nests.
instead Of the ordinary open nests these
inventions have trap doors. which close
when the hen enters. After the hen has
laid an egg she y allowed to come out,
but instead OF permitting the hen free
dom and rest until the next day some
avar1cious 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 Having
learned by experience that the price OF
liberty Is an egg and believing that she
must be mistaken in thinking shs has
just laid, there Is nothing for the poor
hento do but lay again
Such duplicity ultimately destroys the
hens faith In mankind. and she sither
ceases to lay or becomes pesxfunist
egg-eater and makes these dscep<aons
unprofitable.--New. York World.
