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 * K„ s ,...... i, 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. The acreage in cotton * ..... growing States _ last , year was 17,322,383 acres. The crop for the season was 5 - pounds of seed cotton. The great ex pensc attached to cotton growing is the cost of JL«I picking. The lowest price bL. paid . ..... is fifty cents per 100 pound, As the crop amounted to 8,228,898,033 pounds, the cost of riiekhi" ' was *il * ’ 414 ’ 119 " The farms of America equal the entire territory of the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Portugal. The corn fields equal the extent of England, Scotland and Belgium; while the grain fields gen erall j would overlap Spain.

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 ° were weailea. ...I _ One - of the , strrtn^osfc communities ... in 5* of "which is one of „ the , British .....

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¬ ing cradles.— Forat, Forge and Farm.
