A DISCOVERY.

Helen and Roger were staying with

were not exactly city children, yet
there were enough new sights and
sounds here to keep them busy ask
ing questions and trying to find out
for themselves.
The hens fascinated them good
deal.
At night they would peep into the
henhouse and watch the row Of cud-
dled.up chickens balanced on the
roosting poles.
Aren't they funny?" said Roger,
who was the younger OF the two.
"They look as IL their heads had
been pushed down into their bodies" .
II know It," said Helen: "But see
their feet curled round the pole so
tightly. / should think II would keep
them awake, holding on so hard"
When Helen asked her father how
Il was the hens did not get tired OUT
holding so tightly to the poles, he
said, why, they do not have to hold
on. When they sit down, their
claws shut up by themselves, and
they can't fall off II they want to.
