The American hen is not doing her
duty. There arc 10,000,000 dozens of
foreign hens’ eggs brought into this
country every year free of duty. The
American hens must scratch around,says

avoid the reproach ofallowingthe egg in
dustrv to bu crushed by t)ic competition
of the cheap pauper fowls of the effete
monarchies of the old world. With in
cubators to help them the American hens
ought to make a better record.

According to some sta istics rccent’y
published by an Indian paper, it appears
that tlie people of Great Britain arc con¬
siderably J behind other nations in the
average consumption . of . tea . pc' head iif ot
popula: ion. The Australians come first
with 7.00 lb. per head; the New Zea
landers next with 7.23 lb. per head;
while 41 the % people of ,r n,..nt Gieat Bnt.iin, lt.uiuin «i. though flllr .ia
appearing third in the list, cousumo only
4.90 1b. each. Newfound Ian 1 ami Cana
da come next, while in the United States
the consumption is only 1.30 11>. per
head; and in Russia, which is always re¬
garded as a great tea-drinking country,
"the consumption is only 0.C lb. per head.
Belgium, Sweden, Austria-Hungary, and
Spain consume less than the other Euro¬
pean nations; but there is not one
nation on the continent, with the
exception of Holland, in which the an¬
nual consumption exceeds 1 lb. per head.
There died recently in New York city
ot the age of forty-four, a business man
whose last hours displayed a fortitude
and a tenderness that literature might
preserve. YYhile superintending the ve
moral of some machinery he was thrown
under the wheels of a freight car and had
the flesh ialmost entirely stripped from
one of his legs. YYhile waiting for a sur
geon he continued to give his orders to
his men, and wrote a telegraphic mes
sage to his wife to meet him on the' avri
vul of a certain train. “1 have met with,
au accident," it read, “hut I write this
with my own hand.” On arriving at the
Grand Central Depot he was borne on a
stretcher through the waiting room. As
soon as lie saw his wife iu the crowd he
waved his hand to reassure her, saying
gaily, with a smile, “Here 1 am Annie.”
When told that the limb must be ampu
t itod “All right,” he replied, “only
leave enough for me to ride horseback
with.” The announcement a few hours
later that he would not survive the oper¬
ation, was received with perfect calm
ness. “lt's odd,” he observed, dryly,
“that after dodging bullets for four
years in the war, and after facing danger
for twelve years in and around the mines,
1 should at last be killed by a freight
car. ” Tuc next morning he was dead,
having retained his consciousness and
caimnes- to tUe end.

A Dr. Barker claim' d to have performed
a remarkable faith cure upon a daughter
of James Young of Nashwaak. The
young lady was unable to walk for sev¬
eral years except on crutches, and was
bed ridden a great part of the time.
1 b aring of her condition and that all
mcdieal remedies had failed, the doctor
visited her, and by some remarkable ,
means succeeded in raising her from her
sickbed. She gained , m . strength , and ,
was soon able to walk without crutches.
Having accomplished this, the doctor
offered his hand in marriage, and the

The wood commonly known as gum has
been successfully utilized. It is being
worked into a great many forms, despite
its well known warping qualities, which
arc represented as being so groat that
the lumber “will not stay in the same
county two successive nights.” We arc
informed that picture frames have been
sucecssfti'ly made of gum wood, and
rumor adds that the very qualities that
have hitherto condemned it have been
utilized in the manufacture of self-rock¬

A Missouri Execution.
“ Aren’t executions a part of your du¬

asked an Eastern friend of a Missouri
sheriff.
“1 never perform any executions."
“Whv. 1 thought nearly all sheriffs
were occasionally obliged to hang some
one?”
“Y ou forget that this is Missouri. All
I have to do is to make a show of defend¬
