Hen Lays Quinine Eggs.

Senator Butt of the Arkansas Senate hail just finished a little tale about feeding rnorphine to a jiointer pup and watching him dream when Rcprrsentative Be liossit said: r “Senator, your dog reminds me of my hen. Needing quinine one day, as vye often do in the bottom, I mixed up an ounce of the drug with molasses and rolled it out into pills. Leaving the stuff to dry on the front porch. 1 went into the house. “Returning, I saw the last of my pills swallowed by my hen. ‘ “Of course I thought her silly head would burst wide open. She simply commenced to cackle and has been laying two eggs a day ever since. And do you know. Senator, those eggs are the best chill tonic on tlie market. One of them taken internally will knock the sptits from any case of malaria in the State and shaking ague can’t stand before ’em an hour after they are eaten. I keep that hen dosed, I do.” —Memphis Commercial Appeal.
