Mrs Racliffe had been visiting at her former home in Stillwater, having Jerry with her. Sunday noon she called up her husband in Belfast and , in course of the conversation said! ant: was planning tu return tu Belfast on the boat Monday, and remarked, "I suppose it will cost sixty cents for Jerry." Jerry, heard it all but didn't say a word. Later in the afternoon he was missed. A search was made for him without avail and an advertisement was placed in the Bangor News. At 5:30 Monday morning, neighbors of the Racliffes in Belfast heard Jerry's bark. The little dog had traveled the forty miles in about fourteen hours,going through Bangor on the way. He had been over the road a number of times in the Racliffe automobile, always watching the country intently, but how he found the way back in the night and why he did it is something he won't say a word about. He saved sixty cents, anyway. Points on Setting Hens. Clemson College, March 6:?It is less trouble to care for sitting hens when they are confined in a separate pen away from the layers. The floor of this pen should be of earth, dug up and moistened. The nest boxes ithould be placed around the sides, and there can be z5 hens in the pen. A box from 12 to 15 inches square and about the same in height is suitable for the nest. Remove the top, front and bottom. Cover the top with a burlap sack to provide ventilation, and nail a wooden strip 4 inches wide across the front at the bottom. Have a wide board to lean against the open front and a brick to keep it in place when it is necessary to confine the hen. Fill the bottom of the box level with the top of the 4-inch board with moist, garden soil, and hollow the soil like a saucer, so the eggs will not roll away from the hen ar.d become chilled. The surface of the earth should be smooth and hard to allow the eggs to roll. Cover the earth with a very little straw, and put in a few common eggs. Remove the sitting hen to the new nest at night. Dust her with yellow insect powder, or grease her wicn ,i6 per cent mercurial uimuieut, and then place her quietly on the nest and shut her in. The next evening, when it is growing dark, dishes of whole grain and water should De piacea in ironi of the nest and the hen removed to feed. Leave her alone and do not return until night. If the hen is on her nest and is contented, she may be given the sitting of eggs you have selected for her. Feed the sitting hens at the same hour each day. Give them whole grain (whole corn is best( in a dish, so they can eat all they desire. Even under the most favorable conditions for feeding, a sitting hen will lose about three-quarters of a pound in weight during the three weeks of incubation. If there are many sitters in the pen, seven or eight should be fed together, removing any that do not leave their nests Replace the hens m 20 minutes. The doors of the nests are closed except at feeding time. Examine the nests while the hens are feeding, and if any eggs are broken the remaining eggs should be washed in warm water ar.d the nest cleaned. Moisten the earth around the nest frequently, and on the eighteenth day of incubation immerse the eggs for two minutes in warm water (105 degrees F). This softens the membranes inside the shell and results in a greater percentage of chicks hatching.

Mills, a fellow collegian of Goldsmith's, called one morning to offer Oliver a breakfast, when he was adjured in answer to his knock and in a smothered voice to force open the M door and enter. When Mills and others had at last forced the bolted door they found Goldsmith so en- 1 tangled in the ticking of his bed 1 that ho could not extricate himself J without help. He explained that as 1 the night before had been piercing J cold he had given a poor perishing woman with five children alt"-hi*., bedclothes. What could he do? He had nothing else, not a penny, to give her. "It was a cold night, too," he added, "for I couldn't at first sleep till I thought of ripping open the mattress to lie in the ticking." ?"Oliver Goldsmith," by R. Asne A Death Feigning Plant. That certain insects, birds, mam- fl mals and reptiles habitually pretend to be dead when danger thrGftp/^^M ens them is a well known fact, but . it is generally believed that this 4 stratagem is resorted to only by 'fl animals.
