She's Champion Egg Layer.

Ithaca, March 30.-The Cornell Col
lege of Agriculture claims the champion
hen of the country in point of egg lay
ing. Her name is Cornell Supreme and
she is the pride of Prof. James Rice of
the Poultry department of the college,
who has just announced her record.
The hen has laid in three years 600
eggs, weighing an aggregate of Sc. 10
pounds, which is 25.82 times her own
weight in eggs. Cornell Supreme has
therefore wrested the championship
title from Cornell Surprise, another hen,
which laid $50, 1876 and 1856 eggs re-
spectively in three years.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
propretors have so much faith in it's
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails TO cure. Send for list OF testi-
monals.

and addressed. while the reverse Of the
card bore a rhymed description Of the
animal to be claimed by the recipient,
giving some absurd reason why it was
selected. For example. the artist OF the
family received a peacock, and his
place card bore the rhyme:
View not this peacock with surprise,
Although he has these numerous eyes.
He must have eyes your work to see.
And they're all green with jealousy!"
The centerpiece for the Christmas
table should not tai up IN more room

why the tree or plant in a pot is bet
