MAKING HENS LAY.

Nj. Joubert, professor at the agri- cultural college at Fontainebleau, France, believes that he has discov- cred a new and simple method of making hens lay. He feeds them with wine in addition to their ordi- nary food. The professor has not allowed his discovery to be made known lightly. He has been experi- acnting with fowls of all kinds for several years, and finds the same result in every case. In each case he experimented for the four winter months with two sets of twelve fowls of the same breed, adding bread soaked in wine to the food of one of the two sets of twelve. After six separate trials, the wine-fed hens laid more eggs, in the proportion of twenty eggs a month or whereabouts, the professor reports.

JUST !E THE NICK OF TIME
How Learned Linguist Brought Re lief to Situation That Was
 Becoming Painful.

The guests at certain stag party were very dry. Considerable time had elapsed since the emptying of the last bottle, and the host, en- grossed with anecdotes, had made no move to remedy matters. It was really a serious situation-one that might become at any moment pain ful. >
 How relieve 1t? Chance offered a way.
 One of the dry brotherhood, point ing casually to a Latin inscription over the fireplace, asked-just for the sake of saying something:
 ''Say, what does that inscription mean in English ?" Then he turned to another of the guests, known for his prowess as linguist.
 "Surely you can tell us what it means" he said.
 The linguist looked the inscrip- tion over very, very carefully.
 ''That," he observed finally, "is a sentence taken from the works of Horace, which, rendered into Eng fish, means: Said the governor of North Carolina to the governor of South Carolina-'"
 Before he could get any further the host woke up. Thereafter, throughout the evening, there was never a lull.-Exchange.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Opposed to Capital Punishment.

MT. Editor: Rleheson has gone be- yond the darts of venom that are still being shot at him by people who must be thoughtless or they never would allow themselves to follow @ poor child of fate beyond the grave.
 l do not believe it is right to take human life. Never mind what the per son does, I for one believe that death penalty is the showing up of the bar barism in humanity that in this late day should be stopped
 I am not a Christian, but if l was I should certainly do as the meek and loWly NaZarine did and say: Father, forgive them, they know not what tley do." It is wrong in my mind to revile poor Richeson. Granting all of his wickedness was still greater than it actually was, he has paid the freight
 l am a spiritualist, pure and simple 1 do not think it right to take earth life from a spirit and send that spirit free to wreak vengeance on those left behind; but when a man goes to his death with the words of Jesus of Nag areth on his lips, when he chants all most with his dying breath, The LcTj is my Shepherd I shall not want" when that man forgives all enemies if he has them, and goes to the great beyond with d feeling of love and charity to all, for one feel that it is my duty to speak softly and carefully of one who has. like Richeson, paid the freight.
 There is just another word I would like to say, and I am done I have before me the record of 31 murder trials. There are carpenters, black smiths teachers, doctors and what not and all are spoken of by their name alone. Why is it that in Richeson's case the words Baptist minister are always used in speaking of him? No one says the painter murderer" "the carpenter murderer" or the doctor murderer,' but in speaking of Riche- son it is the Baptist minister mur- derer."
 Is crime so uncommon among the Baptists that this term has to be used?
 Richeson was a Free Mason also. No one speaks of him as the Free Mason murderer"

Residents of StIlmanville are plan ming to make formal appeal to Gov ernor PothieE from a humanitarian and sanitariaA standpoint, for relief rom the overflow of the property by waters of the Pawcatuck river that 1t is claimed is caused by the West Broad street dam. A petition previ- ously signed will be sent to the gov crnor asking for his assistance. It is set forth that the dam is within the limits of tidewater and suggests that the governor take up the matter with the proper government officials and make effort to remove this objection able dam which has long since been abandoned for use in connection with manufacturing purposes.
 The claim is made that periodical re- lief is given and more promised to be given by the town, and it is believed that the only way that permanent re- lief can be given is by the removal of the dam SO that the water may flow unobstructed down the river. As this dam is within tidewater limitations, the petitioners are of opinion that the general government has the authority Co order the removal of the dam, and that tho best way 10 reach the proper government officials is through the mediumship of the governor of Rhode Island.
