HENS INVETERATE GOSSLPERS.

Prof. Htmerlck Telli About the Conversational Abilities of Chickens. Baltimore Special. Prof. Hamerick, the composer and director of the Peabody Conservatory of Music, has been making interesting studies upon the conversational abilities of chickens,’ whieh, it is thought, may prove supplementary to Professor Garner’s re-* searches in the monkey language.’ Professor Hamerick has been engaged in this study for twelve years and has become proficient in his immitations. " “Hens,” he said, “are the greatest gossipers in the world. When they get together they do nothing but chatter continually. It is the same with pullets. I have watched several of them for hours and they would gossip ceaselessly. I know they have a language, for when one is alone it trill not talk at all. It may perhaps sing a little song to pass the time away. As soon, however, as it meets another the conversation will begin. Their voices are sometimes sweet and then again harsh and discordant, as is the casq with human beings. With me it makes a great difference whether a fowl’s voice is pleasant or disagreeable, though most people do not seem to note the distinction.

“I have discovered that they have very acute senses of vision, hearing and taste, but they cannot smell. Their sense of taste is excellently developed, and after eating any thing more than usually palatable they will give vent to an exclamation of pleasure just as a person will. They are peculiarly susceptible to certain colors. Red almost drives them crazy, while blue is not to their liking by any means. I once had five Cochin-China pullets, to which I gave the names of P. T., with the change of a vowel for each one, such as Pete, Pite, Pat, Pit, Pot. Pete would respond readily when her name was called, but the others would come also with the exception of Pot, who would come when I called her. Pete would come when I called Pite, Pat and Pet, showing that she could not distinguish closely between the vowels i, a and e short. There was such a difference between these and Pot that the latter would recognize her name as soon as called. If the consonats were transposed and I would call Top instead of Pot she would not notice. “Crowing among roosters is a most interesting study. dP havenoted the crows of over one hundred roosters and I have never found two alike. The crow is nearly always between 12 a. m. and 12 m,. and is from three to seven seconds induration. Roosters begin to crow at dawn, and those further eastward crow the last. It is a kind of telegraphic service from pne to another. Generally there are seven crows in the space of one hundred seconds from each other. Cocks crow a few minutes after being frightened and after eating, and I can almost exactly tell when they will begin. A rooster is, by all odds the proudest thing on earth, with no exception."

A Sacrilege.

New York Sun. Probably the most “tony” stable, in outward appearance, in Brooklyn, is one on upper Classon avenue that used to be a church. It stands today just about as the congregation left it, except that a paved driveway runs in at the wide front door. At night, when its stained glass windows are illuminated, it might be supposed that service was taking place.

An Electrical Remedy.

Electrical Review. A European dentist is said to have had great success in curing toothache within five or six minutes, and often in less time, by applying one pole of an electrostatic machine to the troublesome tooth, and the other pole to the body of the patient. In seven cy-six cases thus treated by him only three are said to have been unsatisfactory.

Rameses' Sacred Fowl.

The Ibis, the sacred bird of Egypt, is not peculiar to that country, but is found in considerable numbers in the South, in Florida especially. In St. Augustine and other coast towns it is no unusual thing to see an Ibis perched on the ridge-pole of a house or stable or stalking solemnly about a yard, for the bird is easily tamed and seems to be fond of human company.

Old Time Postage.

Before 1845 a letter carried over five hundred miles in this country cost twenty-five cents. From 1845 to 1863 it cost ten cents. In 1863 the uniform three-cent rate was adopted. A few years since the two-cent rate was adopted, and now the country wants it reduced to one cent. California officials are after the estate of the late Senator Stanford, for $145,750, claimed as collateral inheritance tax under a new law. The trustees of the university are asked to pay $125,000 of this sum. Nearly 4,000 children were turned away from the public schools of New York city during the month of October because of insufficient accommodation a.

Since 1872 it has been known that gold existed in solution in s a wat er. Recently it has been discovered by T. A. Ricard that there is less than one grain of gold to a ton of sea water. On a fair computation of the amount of ocean water on the globe it is shown that no less than 10,250.000,000 tons of gold are held in solution by the salt water of this earth.

Man’s Inhumanity to Himself.

The most Inhuman outrages which would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates upon his own system by swallowing drastic purgatives which convulse his stomach, agonize his intestines and weaken his system. Many peopje constantly do this under the impression that medicaments only which are violent In their action, and particularly cathartics, are of any avail. Irreparable injury to health is wrought under this mistaken idea. The laxative which most nearly approaches the beneficent action of nature is Hostetter s Stomach Bitters, which is painless but thorough, and invigorates the intestinal canal instead of weakening and Irritating It. The liver and the stomach share in the benign discipline instituted by this comprehensive medicine, whose healthful influence is felt throughout the system. Malarious. rheumatic, kidney and nervous complaints succumb to it. “Did Bilkem leave anything when he died?” “Yes; his creditors. They’re the worst left lot von ever saw.”

A Successful Practitioner.

Dr. Charles L. Thomas, of Logansport, Ind., is a gentleman, who. by most careful and painstaking work, has won recognition among the professionals of the State, as a skilied Oculist. Dr. Thomas settled In Logansport twelve years ago. In that time he has ministered to the comfort of a vast number of people. His Intelligent and careful treatment of that most delicate organ, the human eye. has gained him a far-reaching reputation. In his treatment of cataracts. Dr. Thomas has been magnificently successful. In fifty operations for cataract, he has lost but three cases. This is an unusnal record and is probably unsurpassed, Being centrally located at Logansport, Dr. Thomas draws a large clientele from all parts of Indiana and adjoining States. He has made arrangements whereby he will receive cataract patients into his own home , and retain them under his care until comj pletelv cured. Sufferers from various diseases of the eye. or those who desire to have spectacles fitted properly to the sight need not feel that a trip to Chicago orNew York is necessary for this. They will find In Dr. Thomas, of Logansport. an excellent and successful oculist as well as an agreeable gentleman. Newspaper advertisements date from 1652,

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders or astringents, because they are all irritating, do not thoroughly reach the affected surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than failures. A multitude of persons who had for years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh can infliet testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by Ely’s Cream Balm. Swearing may give relief to overworked feelings, but it doesn’t bring back the ex-cursion-boat the swekrer has missed.
