Why do Hens Eat Their Eggs? The hens that break and eat their eggs are usually those who are fed with kitchen waste. Feeding with meat or animal flesh seems to cause this bad habit, and fowls that are supplied with 06m, wheat, scalded bran and meal iii-abundance do not seem to practice this vice. Once it is con- tracted there seems to be no cure. A frequent provocative of the habit is giving eggshells to the fowls; they eat these with avidity, and then learn to break eggs. Another cause is too close confinement in a house or yard and the leaving of eggs in the nest to freeze. The grade progeny of Short- horn bulls out of Spanish or Texas cows one of the ranchmen says, “ unite the heaxy qualities of the former with the power and activity of the latter.” And to this they undoubtedly add the further merit of ma- turity two years earlier than their female ancestozs. They consume no greater quan- tity of grass, and turn out a quality of beef worth from 50 to 75, and perhaps 100‘ per cent. more than the Spanish or Texas bollocks. The same story is told in Great Britain, where Sher-t horns and their grades haxe sp1ead rapidly during a century past, from heir original home 1n Durham, to the sevem winter climate of the north of Scot- laml'and the very mild one of the south of England; and throughout the country thev are now successfully competing in thrlft (and :1 £1 ater prolit in breeding and musing), with many of the various sorts of the natives. The celebrated African travellczr, Living- stone, wvotc, vhatin one large district of tlxa’; excessively hot country, he found a. native h~ Cd‘l of cattle as large as and closely rescmblingtho Englirh blmrt-llorns in all points.

It is not yet too late to cowr the beds, as they are most likely 101x damuved late :11 “inter and 111 early spring. Secondly, stlaw acts as a mulch, keeping the ground moist, and as the strawberry is about 70 per cent. water, this is a consideration not generally sufliei- entiy taken into account. I consider straw worth eight dollars per ion for this pur- pose alone. Thirdly, by leaving the straw on, the fiuit is kept clean. This is of great importance. We are liable to frequent showers in the picking season. and as our customers require a. daily supply of frui", the picking cannot be delayed, so that the fruit 11 ill often be \ cry filthy unless st1aw is used. Iprefer stiaw as it is easily pro cured, quickly put on, and does 110 require removal in spring, as the plants will g1ow up through it if applied as it should be lightly. I use about one ton per acre. Apply just before a storm or during alight snow, when there is little wind. When it is once packed down is is not likely to be blown away. Coarse straw that has most bulk in comparison to weight, is best and shoull be free from foul seeds. Are Snort-Horn Cattle Hardy? Yes, we answer, unhesitatingly, as much as any other breed of cattlem existence, when properly reared. They have only become delicate when foolishly stuffed from birth, with an excess of rich food, kept shut up from, healthy out door exer- cme, and housed alike from summer heat and winter cold. There are thousands of thor- oughbred and high grade Short-horns in the Western States that they have been reared without an hour’s shelter of anykiud, and had no other food since weaning, than grass, from spring to autumn, and the run ofa. cornfield in the winter ; and these prove so superior when full grown, as to win the highest prices often over all other cattle at the various stock exhibitions throughout the country. Short-horn bulls when delicately bred, taken to the Western plains and turned out there among a, head of half wild cattle to“shirk” for themselves, as a matter of course. could not long en- dure such a life ; but had they been reared and kept in a. proper mgmner, as some few of the wiser ranchmen have latterly done, these bulls would have served well and lived to a fair old age. The Power Of the Press. 1110 11c“ spaper of to day 13 the great free library of the people. There is no line of information which is withheld from its ample pages. People who do not have time to read books hardly need to realize any deprivation, if they will spend a. few mom- ents :1. day with their newspaper. An admirable practice for the newspaper reader 15 to keep a scrap book by him, and before he is aware of it he will be the possessor of a library of choice and valuable resource. Charles Reade, the popular book writer, is great scrap book maker and his clippings from the papers fill many volumes; they are indexed for hierence. The late President Garfield was a daily scrap book collector, and he made unlimited use of the incidents, anecdotes and thoughts be accumulated from the papers. Dr Talmage, Henry \Vard Beecher and other men who entertain the public are industrious newspaper read- ers, and draw from that source their most apt illustrations. The new spaper is at once educator, companion and friend. No in- dividual or family can afford to be without it. SCENEuâ€"A small barber‘s shop in Belfast.

According to a theory which in years gone by was much credited in Scotland, the gift of second sight is conveyed to some persons by means of dreams. It is asserted that oc- casionally dreams are used as a vehicle of in- tercourse between the visible and unseen world, whereby an intimation is made not only of what is actually taking place at a long distance oil", but of coming events. In- deed, this belief is still a deep mooted one; and, it must be acknowledged, many curious instances are on record illustrative of its truth: evidence which, as Sir \Valter Scott affirms, neither Bacon, Boyle nor Johnson could resist Mr. He11de1son has collected together some striking cases, two of which we quote. A lady of Truro dreamed the night beforea boating party that the boat was upset, and she herself drowned. She tlleiefore determined not to join it and sent an excuse. The party returned safely, how- ever, and the lady, after telling a friend M at had passed, and describing where she had dreamed the body would be found, ceased to think of the matter. A month or two later the lady had occasion to cross the Truro River at King Harry’s Passage; the boat was upset, she was drowned, and they {ought for the body in vain. Then the friend to whom she had told her dream came forward, and pointed to the spot marked out in the dream as the body’s resting place, and there it was found The second instance, which oecured 1n 1848, and was narrated in the papers of the day, is as follows: Mr. Smith, gardener to ySii Clifford Constable, was supposed to have fallen into the Tees, his hat and stick having been found near the waterside, and the river was dragged for some time, but without success” A person named Awde, from Little Newsham, then dreamed that Smith was lying under the ledge of a certain look about 300 'ards be- low Wliorlton Bridge, and that 1is right arm was broken. The (beam so aflected this man that he got up early and set out at once to search the river, and on the first trial he made with the boat hook he drew up the body of the drowned man, and found the right arm actually broken. There are nu- merous cases of this kind, many of which it has been found difficult to explain; but the question is one which has already engaged the attention of the psychological student. The Sourian provinces form a. wry large proportion of the Egyptian territory. While Egypt; proper includes but 210,000 square miles. or rather more than four times the area of Great Britain, the annexed pro- vinces, comprising the Soudan, Nubia, and the equatorial districts generally, are said to containl, 026, 250 square miles, or more than halt the area. of Russia in 1‘ urope.

The just now popular word “dude,” mean- ing an empty-headed, languid mannered‘ young swell who bangs his hair, proves to be no foreign importation, but, like many other exiressive term, to be 0 good New England parentage. The word (pr0< nounced in two syllables) has been used in the little town of Salem, N. H., for twenty years past and, it is claimed, was coined there. It is common there to speak of a. dapper young man a! a “dude of a fellow,” of a. small animal as “a. little dude,” of a. sweetheart as “my dude” and Dian aesthetic youth of the Wilde type as a dude. But how the word attained so sudden and widespread a. notoriety puzzles Silem.
