Essay on Hens. On the subject of hens a boy writes: “Hens is curious animals. They don’t have no nose, nor no teeth, nor no ears. They swallow their witties whole and chew it up in their crops inside of ’em. The outside of hens is generally put inter pilfers and inter ; xueiuHide of a hen is sometimes filled with marbles and shirt buttons and such. A good hen is very much smaller than a good many other animals, but they’ll dig up more cabbage plants than anything that ain’t a hen. Heus is very useful to lay eggs for plum puddings. Skinny Bates eat so much plum pudding once that it sent him inter the collery. Hens has got wings and can fly when । they get scart. I cut Uncle William’s hen’s head off with a hatchet, and it scart her to death. Hens sometimes make very fine spring chickens.”—Australian Poultry and Dog Gazette. Picked Up. 1 Hold fast to a soft snap. Don’t be always beefing. It is criminal to waste money. What happiness there is iu a hug. Charity covers a multitude of shams. * A woman’s endurance will outlast a man’s strength. You should stick to your friends but don’t stick them. ' If the present rate keeps up, all the men will finally be lawyers and all the women stenographers. For a list of a man’s friends look in his ledger for those whose accounts have remained unpaid the longest. An old age of poverty and ill health is the hell you hear about. Avoid it by taking care of your money and your liver. Yf tn n gutnT to w l.rnn.l new play, because there is of the idiot behind yon telling his friend what’s going to happen next. SMALLPOX IN WALKERTON IS A THING OF THE PAST The following is a copy of the circu lar printed and distributed, this week, in denial of the false rumors to the effect that new cases of smallpox hud developed in Walkerton: Rumors are continually being started by rival towns and irresponsible parties of new cases of smallpox in our town. Any person representing that there have been any new cases of the disease subsequent to October 29, 1894, is circulating a malicious falsehood. We, the undersigned Board of Health, merchants and citizens of Walkerton, hereby certify that the above is a true statement, as no new cases have developed since the date above indicated. Dr. 11. D.

A teacher more than a parent should be careful to punish children more in sorrow than in anger, not alone for the effect on the child but on account of the responsibility assumed. Corporal punishment is at best a relic of barbarism and has no proper place in the home, much less in the public schools. Children that cannot be controlled by the teacher with moral suasion or sufficiently punished with tasks and penalties should be sent to parents for correction. Most people would prefer to be their own judges of the necessity of applying the rod to their children and the wise teacher will waive all rights or privileges in the premises and send the offender to a higher ■ court.—Ex.

It is very gratifying to the public to know that so many of these affairs are “quiet,” and that no great disturbance or iloleuce is connected with these events. The magnitude of the business done by those toilet preparation firms in Soath Bend can be imagined by the fait that during the few days pending the investigation by the postal inspector 15,000 letters accumulated which came addressed to the names of those to whom the postmaster had been Instructed not to deliver mail. The firms had been receiving mail under forty or fifty different names. ’Squire Townsend received a tetter this week from a man in lowa who has a patent tire upsetter, a tool used in blacksmith shops.

In a private letter he wrote: “Now that I am elected, I want you and your democratic friends to believe that I shall try to be a representative of all the people of this district.” This is a proper spirit, and we hope Mr. Royse may faithfully live up to it to the end of his term.
