PIP YOU EVER THINK WHAT A MY8- Y „OF .MYSTERIES 8HE 187 When She Will She Will. find When She Won't That 'Settles It — The Impatient Minorca and Other Nonsltters—A Peace- ful Man's Broilers. The chicken that is born on or before the lst day of Marsh is worth dozens born in May or June, when all the bens want to sit. The trouble is to find the hen who is inclined to incubation in the month of February. Generally speaking, she must be a Marsh chicken herself. Therefore to ha e March chickens you must first have Marsh chickens. It is like the great eco- nomic proposition: To make money you must have money to make it with. How- ever, it fy not neoessary to inherit Marsh puUete They can be acquired at reason- able rates, and every practical hen keeper —aside from those wholesale gentlemen who can devote all their time and atten- tion to the monumental task of making Incubators incubate, and who are oonse- quently independent of the natural means of incubation—will tell you that the early born pullet, who is under a Bort of natural compulsion to lay early herself, is, even when of no breed at all, of more value than the high bred fowl who declines to lay any eggs until the balmy springtime bas come and eggs can be bought for 15 cents a dozen. The eccentricities of the sitting hen are beyond all account. No power on earth or heaven can prevent certain hens from' sit- ting half their lives, They will sit on good eggs, on' bad eggs, on china eggs, on stones, on sticks, on nothing at all. Turned out of ono plane, they will sit in any oth- er. By actual experiment a certain Plym- outh Rook (of whose breed one of the may noble qualities is broodiness) per- sisted ersisted in sitting for six weeks running, though she was given no eggs at all and was treated with tho greatest contumely, being moved from pillar to post and affiliat- ed with sharp cornered cobblestones and „ daily driven away with violence from her pathetic atteihpt to convert these igno- minous rooks into the noble ones of Plym- outh. At the end of the six weeks she did give up further sitting, but she ap- peared to entertain no grudge on account of her treatment and would on occasion -.come and eat out of the hands of her hate tormentors. It was in the autumn when she made this quixotio attempt, and she bad already in this same year brought off two fine broods of chickens—ono in early March and the other in June. Other hens will never sit at all. The White Minorcas—those hens with great Combs, which look exactly like roosters i1>ud are called "Catalans" by the Spanish t;,= will lay perhaps rnore eggs; in a year gin any other sort of hon, but they will Ot lay them 1n cold weather, and it is un- lely that any ono of them was ever 1{own to batch a brood of chickens. The inorcas will, indeed, sometimes begin to 'E• but they seem to be under the impres- ttlpn that throe days ought to be, in all h feci uo, long enough time in which q' outegg, and at the expiration iit.a11.out that time they will abandon the itetterapticith a groat flutter and mush de- •ni1noiatory oratory. If they aro fastened *owe( on the nest with a board placed bogie their backs, they will stand up as gh as they oan under the board and lot ail 1 .zad'd,3o their eggs �It is doubt- ,: ever any h man being, male or fe- male; - male; winked or pious, Christian or pagan, evert through without profanity an at- tempt to make a Minorca hen sit. There are other breeds of. nonsitters, which are not merely too numerous but also too con- temptible to mention. The Plymouth Rock will not lay so many eggs in a year as the Minorca, but she will lay what she does lay when you want them, and she will perpetuate her kind.. Strange to Say, another kind of ben that rmakes,a good mother is the gaine hen. She seems to be engaged in an attempt to prove that a pertain amount of amazo- nianisin is not inconsistent with a proper regard' for the duties of motherhood. A very peaceful gentleman, not unconnected with the work of the Humane society, • moved into the country throe or four years ago. Having ocoasion to purchase two or three settings of eggs, he bought one of a good working woman, who lived on the outskirts of the town, and who happened °to have male relatives of sporting proclivi- ties, though the gentleman did not know that; and would hardly have cared if he had known. The sporting proclivities of those persona could hardly affect the hens' eggs raised on the place. The setting of eggs turned out beautifully, and in due time some esqulsito little red chickens were running about with the old gray hen who bad been their faster mother. The 'Chickens were so pretty that they wero ad- ired above all others on the place. They row apace, and before long their owner iseegvored that they were engaged in war - are most orthe time, either with one an- other or with other little -chickens. Re - .doubtable fighters they were, too, and while any one of them would easily whip any chicken of any other brood, when they .fought with one another it seemed to be a ,fight to the death. Tho peaceable gentle - an deprecated these contests very mush, ut he was powerless to prevent them. hat could make them fight so? ;$y and by a village tradesman who hap - lied to be at the place one day noticed chickens, looked at the gentleman who ed them, winked broadly and remark - 'Raisin games, eh?" "Raising what?" d the hurfrane gentleman. "Why, e fowls," returned the other. "Game P What can you be talking about?" the gentleman, getting a little net - "Why, t never thought of such a 1" "Well, them's game chickens, he same," said the tradesman. A Wned on the humane gentleman's Tho proclivities of the men of the id from whioh he bad purchased ing of eggs had indeed led them to a lity for game fowls, and by inno- y'huying a balter'e dozen of eggs from ;'man of the house and putting them a hen he had unconsoiously td 1 the business of keeping flghtilfg' aoriflood tho chickens OS sopii as f nough to broil and Lound Tient eating, ^l``tlt ite.j$ ever bo able to get t' town as a prevents of Els.--Boston Transcript.

Four or five Washington correspondents were tolling stories of their experiences with statesmen, local and national, when one of thein from a state in the southwest swung into line with something a little out of the ordinary. "I was doing the legislature," he be- gan, "for a syndicate of newspapers, with some free lanae work on the side, and was making a potful of money out of it. Dur- ing the course of my ministrations I dis- covered a case of vote eelling by a rural representative that was astonishing for its smallness. I couldn't find out what the member got, but it couldn't have been much, for the whole matter at issue wasn't worth more than $4.50 or thereaIout. After exhausting all my sournes of infor- mation I thought I would try the member himself and see how guileless he was on a little thing like that. I didn't dare ask him his price, but I did dare to talk about it, and I went at hire directly. "'Say, young feller,' he said after I bad talked awhile, 'how iuuoh do you git Per a news item like that?' " 'It's a pretty big thing for me,' I re- plied persuasively, 'and I'll get $25 for the story if I can got it complete.' "'How muohP' be asked, with an eager air. " `Twenty-five dollars,' I repeated. " `Gee whiz! I'd liko to have your job.' "'Why? It isn't an easy one. Not so easy as yours anyway.' " `P'r'aps it ain't,' he. said slowly, 'but it pays butter.' " `How do you mOan?' " 'Why, you git $25 fer jisttelling about what I dons fer $5.' "The syntax mightn't have been perfect perhaps," concluded the speaker, "but the fact was, and that was what I wanted."— Washington Star.

Watkins pre- sented a paper on "The Transportation and Lifting of Heavy Bodies by the An- cient Engineers." The purpose of the pa- per was to show how many of the struc- tures regarded as remarkable by expert engineers of the present day, and which some arohreologists declare must have re- quired in their ercotlon the use of im- mense machines, could have been con- structed by primitive tools and simple methods. By means of diagrams the speaker ex- plained how inclined planes of earth oould be used in placing In position stone blocks or slabs of enormous weight, levels and pry bars being employed in setting them up. He then demonstrated how easily, comparatively speaking, the pyre inids could have been constructed by these sine - pie methods, and when completed the earth around then whioh had been used for the inclined planes filled into the pits from which it was taken, leaving the ground as level as before. As an illustration the pyramid of Gizob was sited, some of the stones of which were transported a distance of 500 miles. In this case the highest embankment nec- essary when the workmen reached the top course, assuming that a 20 per cont grade was adopted, would have been 750 yards long, containing, as it did, soine 7,500,000 oubio yards, provided the sides of the em- bankment would stand at an angle of 80 degrees, whioh is not at all Improbable. A force of 10,000 men could have built such an embankment in a single twelvemonth, a very small part of the total labor, which it is stated called for the services of 100,- 000 men for 20 years. In the solution of the problem of put. ting in place huge monoliths it was sug- gested that the modern engineer could well consider the utilization of inclined planes before adopting a more complex method.—Science. KEATS ON MARRIAGE. A Barrier Against Matrimony Which the Poet Could Not Overcome. Notwithstanding your Happiness and your recommendation, I hops I shall never marry. Though the most beautiful Crea- ture were waiting for me at the end of a Journey or a Walk, though the Carpet were of Silk, the Curtains of the morning clouds, the chairs and sofa stuffed with Cygnets' down, the food Manna, the Wine beyond Claret, the Window opening on Winander mere, I should not fuel, or rather my Happinele would not be so fine, as my Solitude is sublime. Then, instead of what I have described, there Is a sublimity to welcome ane home, The roaring of the wind is my wife and the Stars through the window pane aro my Children. The mighty abstract Idea I have of Beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness—an amiable wife and sweat Children I contemplate as a part of that Beauty, but I must have a thousand of those beautiful particles to fill up my heart. I fuel more and more every day as my imagination strengthens that I do not live In this world alone, but in a thousand worlds. No sooner am I alone than shapes of epic greatness are stationed around me and serve my Spirit the office which is equivalent to a King's bodyguard—than "Tragedy with sceptered pall comes sweep- ing by." 'According to my state of mind I am with Achilles shouting in the Trenches, gr with Theooritus in the Vales of Sicily. Or I throw my whole being' into Troilus, and repeating those lines, "I wander like a lost Soul upon the Stygian Banks stay- ing for waftago," I melt into the air with a voluptuousness so delicate that I am content to be along. Those things, com- bined with the opinion I have of the gen- erality of women, who appear to me as children to whom I would rather give a sugar Plum than'irfly time, form a barrier against Matrimony which I rejoice in.— ._ .. �_ _,.—ea 'THE' CLINTON NEW ERA. Centuries ago, people used to fear what they called thejpestilenoe. "amok Death" I was the most terrible thing in the world to them. They feared it as the people now fear the Cholera and Yellow Fever. And yet there is a thing that causes more mis• cry and more deaths than any of these. It is so common that uine-tenthe of all the sickness iu the world is traceable to it. It is 'merely that simple, common thing oon- efinatiou.

Here in Muscat I saw the pure bred Arab man,siuewy, but not tall,a domineer- ' ing, swaggering nobleness in bis glance and a brace of daggers in his waist. When I recognized a beautiful haft or noticed a slender inlaid native gun or singular shield, I offered to buy. But nothing would induce thein to sell. "Sahib,"said one man, "I killed my deadliest foe with this blade, right through his black heart. You see this dint in my shield? Ab, that dint was caused by a spear! The shield saved my life. Shall I, then, sell it for money? My gun? No, sahib. I am an Arab, and my gun is my other self. How could I be an Arab if I had no gun? This sword—it belonged to my grandfather. It bas killed 40 Hien. Hy Mohammed, it is truol These marks, sahib, you see these marks? Only ono of these marks is put there when a man is killed." I offered throe times the value. The answer al- ways was: "No, sahib, I will not. I can- not." Everybody, from the frolicsome boy of 8 to the tottering Imbecile of 80, carried a weapon. Tho old hien had rusty swords that reminded iuo of the unwieldly double bladed monsters that Richard Cceur de _ Lion and his knights swung in the•faoo of the Saracens. These Muscat swords are 4 feet 6 inches long, the blades 3 inches wide, and the handles provide room for both fists to grasp. Law is an unknown quantity in eastern Arabia.—Chambers' Journal.

Chicago Boy Told Marshall Field So and Oot a Raise. It is said that nerve and Chicago aro synonymous terms. Here is a story which proves the truth of the idea, and which goes tp show that a Chicagoan develops bis nerve early: Everybody knows Marshall Field, tho multimillionaire—the man who gave $1,- 000,000 to a library. Everybody has hoard of his big store. In this store there is a oast boy who is making more money than his confreres, and the story tells how he earned the raise. The regular salary of a cashboy is $8 a week. The youngster in question thought he was worth more and hunted up the manager to tell him so. "I would like to get a raise," said the boy. "I think I ought to have it." -"My boy," said the manager, "you are making just what is given all tho cash - boys, and I don't see how I can a000mmo- day" It el boyou.'s assurance amused the man- ager, who jokingly advised him to sea Mr. Field. Now, Mr. Field's visits to his store are few and far between. He is rich enough to be above tho details of business, and when he entered the storm an hour or so after the conversation between manager and cashboy his Doming was in the na- ture of an event. The boy hoard of bis arrival and at once headed for the million- aire proprietor. Watching his chance, he slipped upon the magnate and said: "Are you Mr. Field?" "I am, my son. What can I do for you?" "You can raise my salary, please. I can't work any longer for $3 a week." "I don't attend to these matters. You will have to see tho manager." "I have already seen the manager, sir, and he referred Hie to you." The boy's manner impressed the mil- lionaire, and he said: "My boy, you are making $3 a weak. That is pretty good salary for a youngster. It is more than I was making when I was your age." "Well," said the boy, quick as a flash, "maybe you weren't worth any mora." Mr. Field laughed. Than he saw the manager. "That boy," ho declared, "has too much plunk and wit to work for $8." The next week tho juvenile hero of this tale draw $9, and promotion isn't far off. —Kansas City Journal. �Bl1RD0 BLOOD (BITTERS MRS. THOS.
