An original minded hen, belonging to
George Z. Flint, tecime weary OF the
monotony of her eggsistence the other day
and essayed new and startling departure.
She thereupon confounded the other
members of her Colonial society OF Plym-
outh k0ck DANES by producing soft
shell marvel 81 inches long, having two
compartments united by half inch link
and presenting the appearance OF a small
dumb bell. In one compartment the yolk
was neatly packed, and in the other was
the white OF an egg. Her gentle friends
eyed the product sidewise and quawk-
quawked TO each other that she had evil

farm in Braintree, found dynamite cap
that had been left by Mr. Dunham when
he moved out OF the house a short time
ago and, boy-fashion, put it In his pocket
along with some matches and other COLA
teral property. Quite unaware of the
nature OF the new plaything, he took It
out OF his pocket Tuesday and, as the
birthstone end of a match had caught in
the cap and broken of, he tried to get it
out. A terrific explosion followed, and
the thumb. second and third fingers OF

the palm. As the cords were unhurt, 1t
was decided not to amputate the thumb
or fingers, and there is a prospect that in
time the hand will be again useful MEM
