NOT LIKE ANY SHE HAD SEEN.
Why Chicken Seemed Peculiar to
 Small City Girl.

Little Isabel had been SO unfortu- nate as to have lived most of her six years in boarding houses. Now, the boarding house chicken, as every one knows who has had any experience with that curious fowl. seems large ly composed of wings and legs. It generally fell to Isabers lot to draw a leg Consequently 1t was with great surprise that o7 her first visit to the country she contemplated a real live chicken on its native heath. She had been told that 1t was a chicken. but she had her doubts until reassured by her mother.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century and earlier times had easier lives than those of our generation. To be sure, there are a hundred labor saving de- vices today which were unknown to them. But in at least two important respects they had the advantage over their descendants. They waged no conflict against dirt such as we carry on from morning till night. The Eliz- abethan had no prejudice against gar bage in his front yard, vermin in his bedroom. decaying rushes on the floor of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in his sleeves. The strength of arm and spirit which now goes to keeping clean was left to the medieval lady for other tasks. Moreover. although her cloth ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid- cry and lace, and heavy with jewels it was not subject to rapid changes of fashion. The cut of sleeve or the hang of skirt was settled for five years rather than five months. Life was then free from the modern terror of looking like last years rag bag" Youths Companion.
