Hens Eating Eggs.
Hens often leanato eat their eggs from
eating the egg-shella which are given to
them with their food.. They -find it easy
to crush the shells which are thus scatter-
ed in their way, and mayhap the taste of
, a portion of the coatents -which is left in
the fresh shells is not the least incentive
to break other eggs in the nest. If you.
. have plenty of oyster or clam shells, or
ground bone, the amount of lime in the
egg shells is scarcely worth saving for
your fowls, but had better be thrownsin
the fire to be pulverized and go out with
the ashes. Howev er,if you desire to save
them, pound. them fine and mix in their
feed, thus avoiding all semblance of egg -
eating. Perhaps all the fowls in a flock
would never learn independently this
bad trick; but there are always e few apt
pupils in every school who easily learn
the bad things, and they teach the rest.
If you have valuable ,fowls which have
learned the trick of egg-eating,Cut off the
point of the beak one-eighth of an inch,
and sear it over with a hot iron,and eggs
will generally resist their attacks. We
would put it down as one of your rules
for care of poultry: Pulverize egg shells
before putting them where- fowls can get
at them. --Poultry World.

tea-urn, which puffs like- a little steam-
engine. The family asseinble for tea.
In Russia, as elsewhere, sleep after a
heavy meal produces thirst, so that the
tea and other beverages are very accept-
able. Then some little delicacies are
served—such as fruit and wild berries,
or cucumbers with honey, or something
else of the kind, and the family again
disperses. Ivan Ivan'itch takes a turn
in the fields on his, begovuiya droshki—
an extremely light vehicle, composed of
two pairs of wheels•joined together by a
single board, on which the driver sits
stride -legged; 'and Maria Petrovna pro-
bably receives a visit from the Popadya
(the priest's wife,) who is the .chiet
goasipmenger of the neighborhood. There
is not much scandal in the district, but
what little there is the Popadya careful-
ly collects, and distributes anteing her
acquaintances with undiscrinainating gen-
erosity.
e -On Thursday morning of last week,
a very heavy thunder storm passed over
the vicinity of London, between 8 and
9 o'clock in the morning. At a school in
London East, just previous to the time
of school being called, the children, num-
bering about 200, with their teachers,
were assembled on the ground,I when a
flash of lightniog streak a tree at the
rear of the school ground. The electric
fluid scattering, then struck 23 of the
children and two of the teachers, throw-
ing them on the ground and stunning
them for a few moments. Marvellous to
say that only one child was brunt, and,
that only slightly on the arm. I A hen-
coop was in the school arard, belonging
to one of the neighbors, and a ' boy who
was standing with his back to it at the
time was thrown right over it. Persons
who live opposite, and saw the whole oc-
currence, say the children went over
like a lot of ninepins. When the chil-
dren assembled in school they were quite
overcome with joy at their happy es-
cape, as for the moment it was feared
some of them were killed. Several were
so panic-stricken that they had to go to
their. homes. Miss Jones, living op-
posite the school 'muse, was standing in
her parent's residence, between two open
doors, when the electric fluid struck her
on the arm and burnt it.
