A DECORATED BEIT. pi,l yon ever ■wrestle with a hen that ,j a wild, uncontrollable desire to in* 1,1,«te? Did you ever struggle on, day ,. r a»v, trying to convince her that r uiisaiou was to furnish eggs for your • instead of hovering all day cm a iuur-kiiob, trying to hatoh ont a litter i front doors? Willi nn ifpioot, of this plaoe, who ins made the hen a study, both in her ome life and while lyingin the embrace of death, has struck up an argument rrhieh the average hen will pay. more attention to tkan any other he hns dis covered in his researches. He says the modern hen ignores almost everything when Bhe once gets the notion that she is called npon to incubate. Ton can deluge her with the garden-hose, or throw old umbrellas at her, or change her nest, but that don’t count with the firm and stubborn hen. You can take the eggs out of the nest and put a blooded bull-dog or a nest of new-laid bumble bees in place of them, and she will hover over them os assidu ously as she did before. William' H. Boot's hen hod shown some signs of this mania, so he took out the eggs und let her try her incubator on a horse-rake awhile, just so she could kind of taper off gradual and npt have her mind shattered. Then he tried her at hatching out four-tined forks, and at last her taste got so vitiated that sho took the contract to furnish the country with bustles by hatching out an old hoop-skirt that had gone to seed. Mr. Hoot then made an experiment. He got a s trip of red flannel and tied it nronnd her tail. The hen seemed an noyed as soon as she discovered it. No hen cares to have a sash hung on her vstem that doesn’t match her complex ion. A seal brown lion with a red flan nel polonaise don’t seem to Harmonise, ,d she is awaro of it just as much as suybody is. That lien seemed to have thought of emcttiing all at once that had escaped her mind before. She stepped about nine feet at a lick on the start, and gained time as sho proceeded. Her eye tx-gan to look wild. Sho got so pretty soon that slio didn’t recognize tho faco of friends. Sho parsed Mr. Root without bung able to distinguish him from a total stranger. These peculiar movements were kept tip during the eutire afternoon, till tho hen got so fatigued that she crawled into a length of a stovc-pipo. This is a triumph of genius in the lino of hen cii tura. It is not severe, though Arm in t. uimcnt, and, while it of course nn- i.,o- him unmans tho hen temporarily, ntary in its results, and at the inn- it fnmishos a pleasant liltle i. for tlie sjx-etaiors.-—Nye’a A'-,,, ,<■ until. AX ETIINOLOOIST’S EXPERIENCE. Mr. Francis H. Cushing, the young ethnologist, who was sent out by the Smithsonian Institution to study the in ner life of the Puetdo Indians of Now Mexico, had somo strange adventures when he was initiated into the secret or der of tho Zunis. Having secured a Bcalii— a necessary prerequisite—in tho war with tho Apaches, ho presented himself to the oouucil of Zuni warriors, and, like Othello, though with d differ ent jitir(K)se and to a different audionoe, •old tho story of his valor in war. After much persuasion on his part ho was finally accepted as a suitable candidate, and the ceremonies began. He was tuken to the burying ground, whore a aiiam fight, with prayers and songs in terspersed, ensued. Carrying a pole, on which was the Bcalp, he then marched at tho head of the yelling bond of Indians to some gardens, where the pole waf stuck in the ground. Then until even ing he had the pleasure of sitting mo tionless on an ant-hill Ailed with ^nta, which doubtless mode the most of their unexpected opportunity. After further prayers and other ceremonies he was formally taken into the order. Then followed a march around the town. A aoore or more of dogs were killed to give variety to the day’s festivities, and the young fellow was then hurried off to be baptized as “ a otiild of the parrots” and “a son of the eagles.” For the next four days he was looked without “fire, °>eat, oil or tobacoo,” being forbidden fo see any one. Nor was this alL For the ensuing twelve days the ooremoniee of this mystic order were oontinned, and of them he writee to a friend in Boston: "Freehin my memory as they are, they seem to me the grandest, most in teres t- •ng, weird and terrible experiences and days that my life has ever seen, and open up the sub-depths of meaning to my to- oearcbes in Zuni’’ If, as he says, this was the least wonderful part of his ex perience, he will return bom the land of the Pueblos with a narrative of sink* *°8 interest, and with much valuable information regarding the descendants of Uie Moutezumas. ’ BEATING A BIVAL. The Remarkable Special Telegram Sent to the New York •< Herald," [From tbs New York Stir.J We were discussing, at the club, the devipo of Stephen Fiake to hold the tel egraph wires by sending the Bible through to tho Herald, as represented in the play of “ Michael Strogoff,” wfcen Mir. Fiake himself strolled in. and was importuned to give us the facts. " It isn’t muoh of a story,” said he; " but as it has been told in a dozen different ways, in newspapers, magazines and novels, you might as well’ hove the truth of it. On arriving at the Clifton House, Niagara Falls, with the Prince of Wales, in I860,1 found that the telegraph office wi^'not open on Sunday, so I paid the operator $10 and his offioe expenses to sent my Sunday message. While I was writing the message, a Tribune reporter came in and wanted the operator to tele graph his news, which the operator de clined to do. Then,, instead of asking me for a chance at the wires, the Tribune fellow went to the Hon. John Bose, then Premier ot Canada, and onc^the Di rectors of the telegraph company, and obtained a written order which the operator dared not disobey, that the Tribune message must be sent when mine was completed. As the Tribune did not use telegraph much then, I concluded that there must be somo important news afloat which I must gain time to procure. Besides, I re sented the idea that u Canadian Premier should interfere between two American papers and issue an ex-parte order. So I celled the operator’s attention to the phrase, ‘ when Mr. Fisko’s message is completed,’ and, as soon as that idea was welfinto his head, I informed him that he might toll the Tribune man that my message would not bo completed until Monday morning. Then I tele graphed mv nows ; then my mail letter; then saved Howard his postage by add ing his letter to the Times, and then looked about for'more ammunition. The only two hooks I could find at the hotel were the Bible and ' Claudo Du val, tho Dashing Higwayman,’ so I asked the operator which lie would pre fer. He answered so profanely that I thought a dose of tho Bible would do him good. But, instead of sommencing with tho first chapter of Genesis, as Jules Verne describes, I selected a part of the first chapter of Matthew, and begged tlie operator to be very particu lar about tho names. Have you a Bible hero? Thanks. This is tho Btyle of tho thing: “ ‘And Judah bogqt Pharos and Zara of Thmnur; and Pharos begat Esrom ; and Esrom begat Aram ; and Aram be- gnt Amiuidab; and Aminidub liegat Naason; and Nansen begat Salmon; and Salmon begat Boon of Bachnh; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obcd begat Jesse.’ “There was about a column of that, and then I skipped over to the Inst chap ter hut one of Revelation arid wrolo out some more nice names [or him. Hern is a specimen : “‘The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphir , tlm third a cliulce- Jnony, the fourth an emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh ehrysolyte, the eigain beryl, the ninth atopuz, tlie tenth., ehrysoprasus, tho eleventh a jacinth, tho twelfth an ame thyst.’” “ Before I had entered this chapter it was after 2 o’clock in the morning, and Rochester telegraphed to mu that the wires wore down. 80 I paid my bill and wont to bed, leaving the Tribune repor ter fuming in tlie bar-room und wonder ing what Frederick Hudson would say when he read my Bible message. All day Monday there was an ominous silence. Then, on Tuesday, the Tribune was kind enough to publish an editorial telling tho story and demanding my dte. charge. This gave the Herald the ad vertisement it wanted, and more than repaid the extra outlay. So, in tho afternoon, Mr. Hudson telegraphed me: • Good 1 Go ahead. Your salary is in- creased from date.’ Everybody laughed at the joke; I hod good cause to laugh with them, and the Tribune man has never ceased to abuse rile sinoe, although he has long ago left the " ■* 1 ■ b ■ thoughts about wohbh-bt a JILTED HAN.
