TME SUM. A little dreaming by the way, A little tol'ing day bv day, A little pain, a little strife, A little joy?and that Is life. A short lived, fleeting manner's morn When happiness seems newly born. When one day's skye is blue above, And one biru sings?and that is love. A little wearying of the years. The tribute of a few hot rears, Two folded bauds,the fainting breath, j And pe*c? at lait?aud that is death. Just dreaming, loving, djing, so The actors in the drama go; A flitting pietnre on a wad.

Manning Austin, one of tha head railway mail olsrks between Atlanta and Charlotte and one of the best men in the service, received a very painful and serious injury yesterday while on bis run from Charlotte to this city. He was on the vestibule and while the train was runing at a high rateof ! epeed over an uneven section of tho road Mr. Austin attempted to carry a | very heavy bag of mail, and ss the train | passed over a sharp curve the lurch of the car threw Mr Austin and the wrench sustained in falling severely injured his opius. llr. Austin was unable to walk aftsr the (all, and when the vestibule arrived here at 4 o'clock he was carried to bis home in a serious if not critical oondition. If r. Austin is a young married man and one of the most efficient men in the railway mall service. A few years ago he won the Wananaktr medal for the heat examination in the division.? Atlanta Journal 11th instant. The Prosperity Wave In New England. There was a representative meeting of fifty five Textile Unions of New England in Boston last Sunday. President Gompers had recommeded the different labor Unions to unite on some settled policy regarding the mill sitnatlon in New England. It will be remembered that many of the mills made & 10-per eent. eat in wages the middle of Jannary and there was a quiet strike ou the part of the operatives of many mills. They have been out since that date. The meeting was in session four hours. Its primary object was to devls* some method of rendering necessary Assistance to the New Bedford strikers It was believed that if these strikers wmlfl fcxrid ttPt fonr weeks longer with. ? little help that other operatives would fall in line and the mill men would be forced to make terms. The action of this meeting will be reported to the various Unioas for their action. Special Legislation. When one considers the work of the Legislature, it is evident that there is too much special legislation. In the dispensary bills offered several counles ask to be excepted from certain provisions. The same law as to the sals of alcoholic drinks should prevail in all the oounties. Ir would be a source of constant dissatisfaction if one county should have high license, another the dispensary and a third prohibition. Thers are very few cases in which special legislation should prevail. What is true of the State is true of the F?d ral Government. Senator Tillman pushed his special dispensary bill through the Senate which would have given this State certain privileges not possessed by others. The cooimittedid right to report unfavorably on this measure. Laws should bear equal y on all couDties in a State and all States in the Union. Atlanta, Ga., Fed. 10.?Judge Newman, of the United States court to-day granted a temporary injunction against J. C. Mayfled, to prevent him frou/selling cotton seed under the firm name of the Jaokson African Limbless-Cotton company. The Jackson limbless firm brought the case into the courts. The firm alleges that May held has been doing a big business nnder their name. Washington. Feb. 14.?The DeLome incident is still unsettled.

P' THE CACKLING HEN. j Oslto mm Much' Truth m To*try la Tklt Little Lay. We have read of Maad on a summer day who raked, barefooted, the new mown bay; we have read of the maid in the early morn who milked the cow with the crumpled horn, and we've read the lays that the poets sing of the | rustling corn and the flowers of spring, I , but of all the lays of tonguo or pen j tl,?ru'u Ill .1 1 * i vuv>? o uau^ut iiau tuu liiya ui vuo io\va | ben. Long, long before Maud raked lior I bay the Iowa hen bad begun to lay, and j ere the milkmaid stirs a peg the ben is | up and has dropped her egg. The corn must rustle and flowers must spring if tbey bold their own with the barnyard ring. If Maud is needing a bat and gown, she doesn't hustle her hay to town; she goes to the store and obtains her Buit with a basketful of fresh hen fruit. If the milkmaid's beau makes a Sunday call, she doesn't feed him on I milk at all, but works up eggB in a custard pie and stuffs him full of a chicken fry, and when the old man wants u horn does he take the druggist a loud of , corn? Not much. He simply robs a nest and to town he goes?you know the rest. He lingers there nnd he talks perchance of true reform and correct finance, while his poor wife stays at home and scowls, but is saved from want by tboso selfsame fowls, for while the husband lingers there she watches the cackling hou with care and gathers eggs, and oggs she'll hide till she gets enough to stem the tide. Then hail, all hail, to the Iowa hen, the greatest blessing of all to men. Throw up your bats and make Rome howl for the persevering barnyard fowll Corn may be king, but 'tis plainly seen that the Iowa hen is the Iowa queen.?Cincinnati Trib uno-Journal. DRINKING FOUNTAIN. Convenient Device Invented by m Vermont Wmrmmr, Not every farmer is supplied with running streams where the poultry can get good water when they want it, especially the young chickens, turkeys and goslings. I bought several three gallon galvanized pails for 17 cents each and some small pans for 10 cents, writes a Vermouter to The Orauge Judd Farmer. small hole was made in the bottom FOUNTAIN FOB CHICK HNS. of each pail, which WRB then filled with water and set in the middle of a shatlow pan.-A twerd TKJVBf wal~pl?d6tt on top. Ton ought to have seen how mqch the chickens and goslings enjoyed this good drinking fountain. Do not get the pan too large. A space of one and onehalf inches below the pail and the outside of the pan is sufllcient. This allows plenty of room for drinking, bul the young birds cannot get into the water and foul it. Care should be taken to have the hole in the bottom of the pail quite small. The opening made by the point of an awl or small nail is lurge enough. I fill one of theae fountain* twice a day for 60 goslings. Black Minorca Fowls. This breed is not as well known among the farmers as it should be. They are an ideal egg machino and aro largo enough to pay to raiso as a meat breed. They are away ahead of the Leghorns in size, and 1 believe will lay as many eggs in a year, and the egg is a great deal larger. Our storekeeper says the largest eggs he gets come from u person who has Minorca hens. They are pure white, and if kept clean are most handsome eggs. Any one living near a oity who bad Minorcaa and would look up private customers and always take them clean fresh eggs oould easily build up a trade for all he could produoe at quite an advance over storekeepers' prices. There are alwaya plenty who are willing to pay a good price fox an artiole that they can depend on, and it paya to cater to their wants.?Breed er a uazeiie. Cati In the Poultry Yard. A well known Massachusetts poultry breeder Bays for more than ten years he has bad from four to six cats a boat his ponltry yards, and having been brought np among chickens they never trouble them, but are of great service in killing or driving away the rats and mico that would do much damage in stealing the grain, as well as stealing the chickens themselves if they had a chance.

Hens should now be laying well, and eggs coinuiuinl a high price- Keep your layers busy. An idle hen is a poor egg producer. Feed plenty of green food and keep the shell box filled. Meat three times u week will help to stimulate your hens to better egg records. This is a good time to replaoe the old, wornout and filthy litter with clean, fresh straw.
