SETTLED THAT A HENS A BIRD


New York World.
Department experts have been
thrown into a tangle at Washington by
a New York mans simple query, rs II
hen a bird?" The point involved has
been sliemed by nature takers in gen
eral. II has been suggested that the
question must be left for final dis.
position TO that ingenious mind which
decided once thai imported Canadian
frogs should be classed as dressed
poultry.
According 10 Webster. bird is the
young of IA feaihered vertebrate as a
chick, eaglet, duckling" There is also
The testimony. eN rel, of Lady Mary
Wortley Montagu. in whose verse lov.
ers meet, with champagne and a
chicken, at last"-an evident early
English reference TO "a hot bird and
cold bottle" The definition and the
quotation settle he case for the hen $
offspring But the query remains,
What of the hen herself?
BY the dictionary again, a hen is
the female of the domestic fowl. .'
This does moi help much. Further on.
however. we read that a hen is also
the female of any of various other
birds" Shall the case go to court on
the use OF The term other" and on the
inference of meaning to be drawn
therefrom?
Turning finally to the word 'fowl''
we find this: Originally, a bird OF
any kind; later. n large or edible bird :;
Eow usually replaced by the word
bird in these senses" In use now
obsolete fowl was ANY winged or
flying animal. as beetle or a bat. 3"
Summing up A bird is a chicken:
chicken is the child of IA hen: hen
is the female OF the domestic fowl:
the domestic fowl can be differentiated
among "other birds" The verdict ap
parently should be that hen is a
bird, regardless of the tariff on eggs
which is cents a dozen, while birds
eggs are free.

was effected in the late afternoon, a

round in bold curve. and as often
happens, the land slopes gently duown
on the inner side of the bend and rises
in high, steep bank upon the other.
The elephants were to come down
the gentler slope, and after making the
passage of the ford take land again al
