Unique Little House.

In Somerset street of Boston is a
queer little house that looks as If it
might have been normal in size at one
time, but got squeezed together by
the two big buildings that press
against it on either side. This odd
building, which is only four feet wide
at the front, is said to be the narrow
est house in Boston. 1t is four stories
high and shaped like a wedge the
front being just wide enough to per-
nit OF door and casing of usual size,
and the rear being ten feet in width.
Each floor has an old fashioned front
window, directly over the door. and
each window, which reaches almost
from floor to ceiling, is supplied with
a balcony. Over the top balcony is a
sloping roof, or awning. The queer
structure is made of wood and ia
wedged between brick buildings. Each
floor has two rooms-a fair-sized back
bedroom and front room ten feet
deep and less than five feet wide at
its widest part A narrow stairway al.
most like a ladder leads from floor to
floor. The building fills a space that
was the termination of an alley years
ago.

PEACH TREE CREEK BATTLE
Sergeant Newberry Tells Interesting
Story of Fight He Witnessed
From Ravine.

On July 10 the Fourth corps and
Fourteenth corps and the First and
Second divisions of the Twentieth
corps crossed Peach Tree creek to the
eastern side and formed lines, while
the Third division of the Twentieth
corps remained in camp some six
miles or more from the battlefield. On
the morning of the Goth / was ordered
to take Is men and a corporal and fol
low the line of march of the division
and the batteries and ammunition
wagons, and gather up and bring
forward all who might fall out of
ranks
1t was very hot day, and as the
line OF march was through woods the
shade was some protection. We had
advanced several miles, and the bat
teries and ammunition teams could
follow the divisions line of march no
farther because of distractions and
had to move off to the left, and did
not join the division until the battle
was over and the victory won.

to follow the line of march of the d.
vision, and l did so. We had gather
ed about 60 who had fallen out on ac-
count of the heat, and came to the
creek about II a. m. We crossed,
and the valley beyond was from 200
to 400 yards wide and was covered
with growing corn. We found spring
and shady place, and halted for din

The reason that the average farm
flock is SO poor is that there has been
no system used in breeding. Perhaps
one can safely say that in no other
line of stock is the weakness of the
sire 80 quickly noticed. The breeding
pen is made up by the first Of Febru-
airy and by the first of April we have
the offspring. If we have a weak male
it is noted before the chick is ma.
tured. A weak male in the flock al.
ways means large number of infer
tile eggs and poor hatch of the eggs
that are fertile. The chicks have a
hard time piping the shell and ex.
posing themselves to the light. After
Matching they nnger along and take
fully two months longer to mature
than do the chicks from the strong
parents. There is also higher NOR.
tality among them during the first
three weeks.
