Bio Lob for One Hen.

An American agriculturist visiting
In England was telling tall tales of big
broods of chickens. Twenty chickens
from twelve eggs appeared to be an
everyday occurrence in the States. If
the stories he told were true.
Happen you never see so many as
hundred hatched by one hen at a
setting?" asked Suffolk man across
the table.
The American had never seen such
a brood as that. well, then, / have,
mister" returned the other. Down
Ipswich way we always fill a barrel
with eggs and set the old hen on the
bunghole"

Recreation has an important place
In the new movement to ellarge the
system Of federal and state forest res
ervations and parks and to acquire
woodland parks for municipalities,
says the American Forestry Magazine
OF Washington, d. G. While the occa-
sion for such reservations is frequent
ly the protection of watersheds, tim
Der production, or other public bene-
fits, all of the areas afford opportuni-
ties for outdoor recreation. Equally
true 1t is that recreation has an i'm
portant place in the demand for
large program Of road Improvement
and extension.

Little c;ri,s skirt

The little girl is getting her innings
In the very latest mode Of plated
skirts, and TO the limit of being al
lowed to compete with big sister In
the glory Of big plaids. The little girls
big-plaid skirt is surprise. It looks
very demure in close little plaitings,
a mere criss-crosSng Of colorings-
and behold the little girl does bit
of hop. and that skirt flares into an
ensemble of startling plaids that
wouldn't be startling at all If big sis
ter or mother had futtered the revela-
ton. This is one OF the caprices fp
little girls clothes this season.

Remove Seed Pods.

1t seems unnecessary to suggest that
each day you remove oil dead leaves
and flowers, but some fond gardeners
do neglect this phase of the work. You
know IL you don't do this two things
are sure to happen: First your garden
appears untidy, and second your flow
ers develop seed pods, and this means
the energies of the plant are all de-
voted to maturing seeds and not to
sending forth new growth, and hence
you have fewer and fewer and finally
no fiowers.-Exchange.

The Penny Made in 1885.

In 1885 the United States govern
ment offered 10 put on the new one
cent coin which was soon to be eircu-
lated. II happened that at the time
the offer was made, some Indian chiefs
from the northwest went to Washing
ton TO see the Great Father" as they
called the president, and from there
iourncyed to Philadelphia to see the
mint.
James Barton Longaere, chief en-
graver, invited the Indians to his house,
where Sarah, his l0yearold girl was
very much interested in the strange
guests. One of the chiefs, to amuse
Sarah. took off his gorgeous war bon
net and placed it on her head. An ar
list who was present quickly sketched
the child and passed the picture to her
father. 1t occurred 10 Mr.. Dongacre
that the likeness might well compete
for the prize offered for the new coin.
He sent it in. The officials accepted
it. and for nearly a century Sarah's
picture. stamped on pennies, found its
wav to every part of the country

Massachusetts, Sincerity.

The plan for the restoration OF the
old Plymouth shore to It's natural Tor
ested front, displacing the battered
remnants OF worn-out business inter
ests and shanties that cannot make Tor
good living, was a stroke OF genius.
Nothing more beautiful or fitting, as a
memorial to the Pilgrims and their
service to this nation. could have been
conceived than the development OF a
forest park at the place where they
made their settlement. There IN the
midst of the re establishment of the pa
tive shore it is planned to restore the
rock--and ii the rock is TO be used as
symbol of honor, then it must be
honored in its surroundings. II would
be but farce to talk of making a
shrine OF the rock, and leave 1t IN a
setting made squalid by manor lett
through mans neglect to have become
squalid.
The treasury commission has guard
ed against the mistake OF attempting
to memorable the Pilgrims in bronze
or stone and mortar, in the name oil

place for tangible tributes, and they
