A Queer llsSIe Girl.

Il am glad" said Montpelier
woman, "that Mrs. Ruth Burgess is
painting the portrait of the kaiser's
fourth son, Prince Augustus. She
deserves her success. She gets a
great deal of character into her Dor
traits of the young.
"Once, in her Montpelier studio,
/ saw full length of remarkably
pretty little girl. There was some
thing odd, something quaint in the
child's face. Mrs. Burgess told me q
story about her.
"She said she was queer mix
ture. She was always saying queer
things. Dressed in her best, the lit
tie girl went one afternoon to pay
q visit to an aunt, and she had no
sooner taken her things of and got
seated than she said calmly:
"Now, auntie, if either Of the
children are naughty today, please
don't hesitate to punish them b.

ANIMAL TAILS.
The Fuactions Of Those Of Cats, lions
and Jaquars.

The Fuactions Of Those Of Cats, Lions
and Jaouars.
A cat never actually wags Its tail
Why should 1t when 1t can pur? But
nevertheless 1t seems to serve the same
purpose In permitting a temporary eX'
pcnditure OF excess nervous energy
when the animal Is under great strain
For instance. when carefully stalking
a bird or man. Us In the case OF q
kitten or lion. the tip Of the tail is
never still for a mOmcnt-ever curling
and uncurllng. We may compare this
to the nervous tapping Of the foot or
fingers In n man. When IN angry lion

0nently lash from side to side. giving
rise among the ancicnts TO the belief
that lie scOurged his body with hook
or thorn which grew from the end Of
the tail.
When n jaguar walks along a slen'
der bough or house cat perambulates
the top Of board fence. We perceive
another important function Of the tail
that of an aid In balancing. AS tight
rope performer sways his pole. SO the
feline shifts Its tail to preserve the
center of gravity.
The tail Of sheep seems to be OF
little use to Its owner. although In the
breed which Is found In Asia Minor
and on the tablelands Of Tartary. this

and sometimes reaches weight of
fifty pounds. When viewed from be-
hind, the animal seems all tail. and
when this appendage reaches Its full
size 1t Is either fastened between two
sticks which drag on the ground or II
Is suspended on two small wheels.-C

EGG-EATING HENS.

A reader of The Epitomist asks
how he can prevent his hens from
eating eggs. He says he feeds plenty
of meat and supplies liberal supply
of oyster shells.
This trouble is great bugbear
indeed, but as matter of fact the
trouble can be stopped comparatively
easily.
Provide dark nests for the hens to
lay in and discard all nests that are
low down. It is often low nests that
teach the hens the habit Of egg-eat-
ing, because there the hens can see
and eat broken eggs.
We feed crushed egg shells to our
laying hens; this goes long way to-
ward preventing egg-eating and also
a liberal supply of crushed ee. shells
is almost a certain cure for the habit.
Provide a few china nest eggs in
conspicuous manner for the hens
to pick at and this will soon convince
them that there are other things in
the world toseat besides eggs.
Charcoal in boxes near the grit
boxes will soon satisfy their appetite
for mineral matters. You will find
also that when egg shells are supplied
your egg yield will be increased. Most
of the poultry dealers can supply you
with fresh crushed egg shells.
Give your hens plenty of exercise
and they will not contract the habit
of egg-eating nearly SO quickly. 1t
is usually the idle hen that falls prey
to such habits.-J. c. Clipp, in Thu
Epitomist.

MANURE WITH CLOVER.

While clover will help keep up
soils, yet many go too far and expect
crop Of clover to produce a heavy
grain crop and at the same time keep
the field in good state of fertility.
1t will pay to put manure on clover,
both for inducing thicker stand
and also for enriching the soil for
succeeding crops. 1t has become q
too general practice to delay sowing
clover and applying manure until the
limit of production has been passed.
When corn and oats are grown and
fed on the farm where sufficient stock
is kept co consume all forage as we'll
as grain crops, there is ample manure
made to cover about one-fourth Of the
farm every year. Put this manure
on the clover. This practice will givs
fine results with every crop used in
the rotatior.-L. G. Brown, in thu
New York Tribune.
