Cross Between Pearl and White seems
to Make Harder and Larger
Bird Than Full Blood.

Last spring undertook to keep an
account of the eggs laid by two Pearl
guineas and one white guinea hen. I
have 1853 eggs to their credit already.
says q writer in Country Gentleman.
The two Pearl hens were broken up
and some eggs were lost early In the
season though they laid a nestful of
eggs and went to setting did not find
the nest and so did not get an account
Of them, but feel safe In estimating
40 eggs lost for which have no ac-
count. The hens got broken up and in
about three weeks found them with
nest of 30 eggs. Counting the ones
lost at 40. this brings my account up
to 20s eggs for three hens. feel sure
that the two Pearl hens laid four-ffths
of the 208 eggs, which would make
them SO eggs each The white hen
did not lay many eggs. expect to
get at least 40 eggs yet before cold
weather.
Guinea hens will usually lay from
April until late in October and If kept
broken up when they get broody. they
will lay nearly every day, The white
hens do not seem to be nearly as
good egg producers as the Pearls. at
least my white hens have not done as
good business as the Pearl hens. A
cross between the two breeds seems
to make a harder and larger guinea
than full blood of either.

Capt 8. F. Horrall tells pretty story Of an
incident during the battle Of Perryville, KY, on
October 8. 1852 Captain Horrall thus relates Il,
"The Forty-second regiment by overpowering
numbers. was compelled to surrender the ground
that had been fought over. back and forth. three
times. being held alternately by the Federals and
Confederates. thus mixing side by side the wound
ed and dead Of each army. As our men were
retiring, Corporal Allen Gentry, Of Company H.
was passing wounded Confederate, who asked
for water. Though at danger or risk of capture.
Corporal Gentry divided his own scanty supply
with his enemy Of half an hour before. They
were no longer enemies. One of my own COM
rades lay dying near Confederate. The COM
rade's thirst slaked, the canteen passed into the
hands of young Confederate, who also lay dy-
ing-the CLASSY look Of death in his eyes. He
drank the water, the last drop. then-as did the
federal soldier-laid his head to rest In the long
sleep. They drank from the same canteen.'

opened the FIRST national cemetery and the fol-
lowing year-on this occasion the May 80 date
that has ever since been obseryed-he Informally
opened the second Of the national cemeteries,

TONED incidentally. that the president OF the
United States usually delivers his Memorial day
address, but there have been numerous excep-
lions TO the custom. along the lines OF President
Tafts chosen plan for his first presidential recog
milton Of Memorial day.
There was nothing prearranged about that
first observance of Memorial day In our second
Oldest national cemetery. President Lincoln on
that eventful May 30, 1864 was merely following
his usual custom of devoting the late afternoon
TO a drive from hospital to hospital in and near
the capital in order to carry words Of cheer to
the sick and wounded soldiers. He was accom-
panied by Gen. Montgomery c. Meigs. who was
at that time quartermaster general Of the army.
Il was late in the afternoon when they reached
the old Robert e. Lee mansion at Arlington, the
last Of the improvised hospitals which they had
planned to visit that day. Upon their arrival at
Arlington the presidential party found prepare
lions in progress for the burial in a distant and
already overcrowded cemetery of twelve Union
and Confederate soldiers who had answered their
last roll call at the hospital
The matter Of instituting second great ma
tional cemetery was then and there hurriedly
given consideration and General Meigs, with the
sanction of the president, issued the order that
the dead awaiting burial should be inferred in
Arlington He designated spot near the HIS
toric mansion for these first graves and just at
shutdown simple services were held az the bodies
were lowered into the graves. Since that first
