ISLAND, | HEN LITERATURE, FIGURES EXTENSIVELY IN THE WRITINGS OF AUTHORS, Charles Dudley Warner in His “My Sume mer In a Garden” Speaks in Une »mpli- mentary Terms of the Female Fowl---The Different Ways in Which a Man and # Woman Chase a Hen, Benjamin F. Taylor once wrote an in- teresting article on ‘‘Hens,’’ from which I quote some points. He says: ‘‘A hen is a foolish thing—has not a grain of sense, for that isa grain not found in gizzards. Her head is too small for any rain ef sense to lodge therein. Her eyes must be excellent optical instruments, for though they have only the expres- sion of @ brace of brass buttons at a shil- ling a gross, they can discover Sawk at a great distance off. There ds not much poetry about hens, nor much remanc? in hendom. Hens are speckled, grizzled and gray; white, copper-colored and blue; there are tho old-fashioned hens and the bantams, the celestial hens, the Shanghais and Cochin Chinas, hens With no tails, short tails, and pretty munch all tails; hens in feathered panta- loons; hens in caniwood colored panta- loons; hens with hussar caps; hens with huge black combs, like our grandmothers ; hens with over delicate side combs, like our sweethearts. Strong minded hens there are Who quarrel and crow and act 43 near as rossible like veritable chanti- cleers; and I showdn’t be surprised any day to see a bantam outin bloomers. Some of them wear spurs already. Hens are like some folk; fussy little bodies who mind everybody’s business but their own. If a tavored sister hen leads off a brood of chickens, the meddling hen spreads ter tail feathers, puts on an extra frill and lays claim to half the chickens. The hen is quite a Malte Bran in hee way, for she knows all about the geography of cornfields, cherry trees and melon patches. ’’ The politeness of Sir Chanticleer to the females of his harem is as markel a3 though he were the pupil of Lord Ches- terfiela. When occasion requires he be- comes their defender, dropping the rois fagreeabdle dangler. ‘he hen has ever been noted for her domestic qualities. She is diligent in laying her eggs, pati- ent in hatebing them, industrious in feeding her chickens, courageous in de- fending them. What various dangers the hen meets and tries to avoid; whats perils from clubs and stones; what trouble feum hungry hawks; what escapes from fowls and from four-footed beasts like the civet and the fox! What motherliness she displays in brooding her chickens, in leading them to green pastures, and in inciting them to wallow in the newly upturned soil of the garden ! Warner, in his ‘‘My Summer in a Garden,’’ does not speak encoura ingly of hens in such an inciosare. He even thinks they are an annoyance, for ‘‘if they do not seratch up the corn, peck the strawberries, and eat the tomatoes, it is not pleasant to see them straddling abous im their j.rky, high-stepping, speculative manner, picking inquisitively here and there. Your neighbor heeds you not if you tell him that his hens eat your tomatoes They are not his toma- toes. The only thing for you to do is to tell him that his chickens ara well- grown and that you like spring chickens broiled. In the fall it is right pleasant, however, to see your neighbor's chickens roaming over your garden, gossiping in the hot September sun, pieking up any odd trifle that might be left. Hawthorne, in the ‘House of the Seven Gables,’’ tells of a brood of hens whch were an immemorial heir loom in the Pyncheon family. He tells of their turning up their heads and smacking thgir bills in taking a drink of water, with the air of winebibbers round a pro- bationary cask. Then of their brisk, and constantly diversified talk to one another or of one in soliloquy, as they seratched for worms; this taik, which has such a domestic tone that it was almost a wonder why you could not establish a regular interchange of ideas ahout house. hold matters, human and = gallinaceous These hens wera well woth studying for the piquancy and rich variety of their ancestors through an unbroken succes sion of Ciifford had one little chicken, small enough to bea still in the egg, but old, withered and wizened. Its mother evidently regarded it (as most mothers do their favorite child) as the “« rs eggs. one chicken of the world necessary, in fact, to the world’s continuance and to the equilibrium of the present system of affairs, whether in ehurch or state. She watehed over its safety, clucking nervously when it was out of sight; croaking with satisfaction when it was under her wing; or utter- ing a note of defiance when she saw a neighbor’s caton the top of a high fence. This wizened chicken was a feathered riddle, a mystery hatched out of an egg. One day the mother hen by her self- important gait, the sideway turn of her head and the cock of her eye made evi- dent to the world that she carried some thing about her person the worth of which was not to be estimated either in gold or precious stones. Some one has told of the way in which people drive a hen. ‘“‘A woman when she has a hen to drive into a coop takes hoid of her skirts with both hands, shakes them quietly at her and says, ‘*Shoo, there!’’ The hen takes one look af the woman and stalks into the coop. A man does not do it that way. He goes outdcors and says: ‘‘It is singular nobody can drive a hen but me,’ and picking up a stick of wood bo hurls it at the biped and says, ‘Get in there, you thief.’ The hen dashes to the other end of the yard. ‘The man dashes after her. She comes back with her head down, wings spread, followed by stove wood, tin cans and clinkers, and a very mad ian in the rear, Then she skims under the barn and over a fence or two and around the house, talking as only an ex- cited hen cin talk as the other hens come out to take a hand in the debate and help dodge the missiles, till at last the map, whose coat is on the sawbuck and his hat on the ground, declares that every hen on the place shall be sold in the morning and goes off down street, leaving his wife to keep up the hen fight, But in two minutes she has them all counted and housed without trouble.’’ Josh Billings thinks that ‘‘hens are a suckcess. There is a grate deal of origin- ality about the hen. Sum say Knower bad hens with him in the ark and sum say not.’’ Billings starts the oft-mooted question, Which was born first, the hen or the egg. He thinksa hen is ‘‘a born phooi, for she will set just as long on a nest full of stones as she will on @ nest fuil of eggs. There is one thing about a hen that shows wisdom; she does not cackle much until after she lays an egg.

Bulwer Lytton quotes from an Arab proverb: ‘‘Curses are like young chickens and still come home to roost.’’ Lowell in the Biglow Papers speaks of small potatoes and few in the hill being scratched up by the hens: An’ you may see the taters grow in one poor feller’s patch So small, no self-respectin’ valued me would scratch. Hood’s ‘‘Morning Meditations’’ speaks ot the ‘‘early rising hen.’’ Claudius, a German writer, writes of a famous hen wh ch —was never known to tire Of laying eggs, but then she’d scream So loud o’er every egg ’t would seem The house must be on tire. The turkey reproved her for making such a noise about the laying of an egg, but the hen replied that he was an un- educated fowl who knew nothing of The noble privilege and praise Of authorship in modern days— I'll tell you why Ido it; First, you perceive, I lay the egg, And then—review it. Every one remembers the household lyric set to ‘‘Auld Lang Syne,’’ and which runs: Somebody killed old Grimes’s hen; They’d better let her ba, For every day she laid two eggs, And Sundays she laid three. And everybody knows Mother Goose’s classic rhymes: One, two, buckle my shoe, and so on down to Nine, ten, a good fat hen, to say nothing of the fable of La Fon- taine in which it is told that a hen Laid golden ezgs, each egg a treasure; Its owner—stupidest of men— Was miserly beyond all measure, He thought a mine of wealth to find Within the hen and so he slew it. He found a bird of common kind And lost a pretty fortune through it. We often hear people speak of the foolishness of those that kill the hen or goose that laid the goldenegg. In Weep- ing over Jeruaslem, our Saviour used the beautiful metaphor, ‘‘O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not.’’ A Greek epigram taken from the Anthologia is said te afford a fine illus- tration of this text. T. Green has givea us a translation of this epigram, which reads: Beneath her fostering wing the hen de- fends Her darling offspring, while the snow descends! Throughout the winter’s day unmoved defies The chilling fleeces and inclement skie:, Till vanquished by the cold and piercing blast, ‘True to her charge, sho perishes at last! O Fame! to hell this fowl’s affection bear; Tell it to Progne and Medea there. To mothers such as those, the tale un- fold! And let them blush to hear the story told. hen that Keeping Tab on Drummers. In some houses that send cut a great many drummers there are in use certain peculiar little maps pasted on the bottoms of cabinet drawers and constantly stadied by the proprietor and clerks. Th:se maps are usually of one state at a time, and are dotted with pegs ur flags of many colors. The flags are tiny bits of colored cloth, with pins to serve as staffs, Tne pegs are in reality tacks, with the heads covered with colored éloth. ‘Eicss maps show many things to those who study them. The differont colored markers often repre- sent different drummers, who are then out on the road. As each one writes home where he has been and where he is going next his particular peg is stuck upon the map at the places he names. The furthest beg aiways shows where that particular man is st any given time. Or, again, the pegs or flags may show much more than that. They may show what towns have been canvassed, what ones are finished, What ones neea asecond call in the win- ter,and which have not been visited at all. —New York Sun. Flogging Girls, The authorized flogging of little girls, or big girls,is a piece of barbarism which, now that the subject has been definitely raised, will receive, we trust, no counten- ance from the Home Secretary. Mr. Riley says that girls in the elementary schools are caned, abit of information which wa commend to the immediate notice of Sir John Gorst. The public of London has out- grown the days of Mother Brownrigg,and Mother Brownrigg, as the Newgate ‘‘Cal- endar’’ informs &s, was not sustained by judge, jury, public opinion or Jack Ketch in her theories and her practice as to the castigation of girls. There were philoso- phers, to be sure, who approved of the whipping of girls, Locke did, for one: and so did Dr. Johnson. Locke approved of a mother who whipped her little daughter nine times in order to compel the child to confess some error; and Johnson com- mended a mother who whipped her child in the interest of future truthfulness be- cause the girl had said she came in through one door, when in fact she had come in through another. But thésa were daye when children were supposed to be born only that they might be birched as far as possible out of their share of origin- al sin. Women were publicly flogged at the cart’s tailin the days of Locke and Johnson—and, of course, in the interest of discipline and order and morals. We can not go back to those days,and any serious and public attempt to get back to them would be an absurdity as well as an ont- rage.—London Daily News. The Useful Poplar.

In most cases cesspools are mere pits dog in the ground and wailed up with loose stones. The liquid contents are left to soak away into the subsoil, while all solids and grease from the kitchen remain in the cesspool to decompose and generate noxious gases. Should tke pores of the sol stop up anj the liquid cease to leak into the ground, the vess-yu 118 abandoned, genaally, and a new hole dug close to the first one. In other instances two cesspools are built, tie first one, supposed to be tight, to re- ain the solids and grease frem the huouse- hold; the second ove a leaching cesspool ordcep well connected with the first one by an overflow pipe through, which the filthy iquids run to be disposed of by -oakage into the ground. A continuous wilonon and dangerous saturation of the soil about Lumaa habitations is thus go- ing on, while the air which we breathe is tainted by the foul emanations com- monly known as “sewer gas.” 5 Not less dangerous than the accumula- tion of putrid organic matter is the polla- tion of the ground water by the fiithy liquid soaking into the ground. Chemical inalysis of the water of wells, situated in proximity to cesspools, or receiving sur- face drainage trom stables, cow houses, &c., mo-t always reveals organic matter in the water. Such contamination is all the more serions, as in towns and villages or isola ed country houses people quite often depend upoa the well for the supply of drinking water to men and animals. Another much to be detested practice, which might almost be called a crime, is the use of an abandoned deep wel’ for a cesspool. And this is true for drains dis— charging water closet waste as well as thore di:charging slopwater only. Practi- cally, there is hardiy any perceptible dif- ference between either kinds of wastes after having been retained for some time ina cesspool, The question is often asked, “At what distance from a dwelling would it be safe to put a leaching cesspool ?” Sanitary science has but one answer to this query : [t prohibits the use of leaching cesspools altogether. With this state of things, be it on a large or asmall scale, two chief sorts of danger to life arise: one, that volatile ef- fiuvia from the surface pollute the sufrounding air and every- thing which it contains; the other, that the liquid parts of the refuse vass by soakage or leakage into the sur- rounding soil, to mingle there, of course, n whatever water the soil yields, and in certain cases thus to occasion the deadliest pollution of wells.
