I enquired. “La, yes,” she said. “Didn’t you e er hear tell of that befors ?” I conf ed that I had not. In ah hour she wen out again and pioking up the hon sui-e enough some of them had laid. These she let go and they Tan off, n even cackling their gratitude. B those hens that seemed disposed to contrary she struck on the back, sayin "You'd bettor lay—you’d better la for you won’t go until you do”-—a in a little while they, too, had pensed their mistress for feeding the so bountifully. She says that she d so every morning, and the hens kn well enough that “they hare got lay.” 865“An Irishman out West eoncei ing that a little powder thrown n some green wood would facilitate burning directed a small stream keg upon the smoking pile; b . possesing a hand sufficiently quiok- cut this off at the desirable mome was blown Into a million pieoes.
