oh, h;irk ! a grand. sweet anthem,
\dpwn lilt' ages rings,
Sung hj’ the lu'rnld angols
Of Christ , tli 1 r King of kings,
Of Christ, burn in a manager,
Where wise men came to lay
Their gift, of loving homage
On Until lirst Christinas Day.
Repent the song of gladness,
Sling at the Saviour’s birth -
Hood-will to men forever,
And peace bo on the earth !
The song grows gladder, grander,
As ages pass away ;
Our hearts become a manager
On every Christinas Day ;
\nd in them, Christ, our Saviour,
Finds resting-place, and wo
Before the King in homage
Bow down and bend the knee.
Repent. the song of gladness,
Song at the Saviour’s birth—
Hood-will 1,0 men forever,
And peaco l>e 011 the earth!
King on, oh, grand old anthem,
Sung on Judea’s plain,
Until the wide earth echoes
With our celestial strain ;
Until in adoration,
Before the Saviour’s foot
Mankind bows down to offer •¥
A homage deep and sweet.
Repeat, the song of gladness
Sung at the Saviour’s birth—
Good-will to men forever,
And peace be op the earth !

To Prevent Setting.
Timothy Varney, who lives
three mile east of Le Lucur, Wis.,
and keeps about 200 hens, has
been greatly troubled, us lias been
most people who keep liens, by the
! persistent desire manifested by
the fowls to set, in season and out,
on eggs, stones, or doorknobs, or
anything else that comes handy.
But he has got hold of a plan now
which he has quietly tried this
season with perfect success, and
which lie warrants will cure the
worst Light Brahma cluck, that
ever vexed the heart of a man, of

Nowhere is to be seen a strang
er freak of Nature than in New
Mexico. It is a river that is not
a river. No one has over seen it.
The bed of it lies in a valley be-,
i tween the Rio Grande and Pecos
Rivers. It. is well defined, and
many travelers have followed its
windings to learn, if possible,
what becomes of the great volume
of water which should by there, j
and R i- not a dead or dried up stream. 1
It is simply lost. Numerous big
| tributaries flow into it from the
I neighboring mountains. lmme-
| diately, however, they reach the
bed of the main stream they dis-
from sight. I hus, for

Tho cure consists of a oheap
watch, with a loud and clear tick
to it, inclosed in a case that is
white and shaped like an egg.
When a hen manifests a desire to
set out of season he gently places
this bogus egg under her sheltei-
ing breast and the egg does the
rest. It ticks cheerfully away and
soon the hen begins to show signs
, of uneasiness and stirs the noisy
egg around with her bill, think-
i ing perhaps, that it is already
time for it to batch, and there is a
j chicken in it wanting to get out.
She grows more and more nerv
ous as tlie noise keeps up, and j
soon pimps oil the nest and runs
around awhile to cool oil but re
j turns again to her self imposed:
duty. It gets worse and worse
with her, and she wiggles about
and cackles, rutiles her feathers!
and looks wild, until at last, with
a frenzied squaw, she abandons |
the nest for good and all. That

For the Country's Sake,
j A man who was a barefooted
country hoy and who has become

ti lls this story of his childhood:

about city life.

Some years ago the students at
the Japanese Naval academy were
accustomed to attend an annual
bmqiiet. They sat at a circular
table around a slow jy revolving
oinnon loaded with a ball ;jn<|
trained to the level of their heads,
The trigger was so arranged that
il could ba touched from a hidden
source outside of the Imnquct hall.
That at some time during tlie ban
quet the cannon would be fired
every one at the table knew, but
just when or it, wlmt direction it
would be pointing was a mvslcry.
Of enure there was a possibility
that the ball might crash harm*
Icssly between the heads of two
banqueters, but it wgs equally
probably that it might carry off'
the head of some student. Vet no
one flinched. The chances, wepe
equal to gll.
The picturesque object of de
struction revolving during tho
jovial hours of the banquet, point
ing from student to student and
ready at a given moment to blow
any one of them to pieces, was
considered in Japan admirable
training to steady tho nerves of a
lighting man.^-Success.
