WHICH IS THE MOTHER?
The Hew That Laya lb Krr or the Ba
That Ilatchee It?
Vhch is the mother of the chick
the hen that laya the epp, or the hen
that batches it? This, nays the New
York Tribune, is a question just de
cided by Justice McMahon, of Tarkville,
a email but intereatinfr suburb of the
City of Churches. It is the first caso of
the kind known to hare been brought
into court, and by reason of its unique
importance the trial has occupied much
of the time of the presiding justice.
The facts are that a Farmer McCaughn
and Farmer Gormley aro next door
neighbors, and their henneries adjoin
each other. Farmer McCaughn owns
choice game birds, but tho fowls be
longing to his neighbor aro of the ordi
nary farm-yard standard. It was testi
fied that one of Farmer McCaugn's bens
scrambled over the fence and indis
creetly, if not wickedly and feloniously,
did lay two eggs, at divers times, on
Farmer Oormley's premises. The tri
umphant note which heralded this ma
ternal achievement did not suggest to
Farmer Gormley the propriety of pick
ing up the eggs and delivering them
into the possession of the owner of the
hen. On tne contrary, he promptly put
them under a sitting hen owned by him
self, and in due course of time they were
hatched.
So soon as their feathers and little red
combs began to grow Farmer McCaughn
observed that these dubious chiekens
were full-blooded game birds, like those
of bis own hennery, and he made a de
mand for them. Farmer Gormley de
nied the claim of ownership with em
phaaiis and disdain. Then Farmer Mc
Caughn summoned his chicken-raising
neighbor before the court for trial, and
issue was joined. The question was not
between hen and hen, but between
farmer and farmer; or, rather, it was a
question as to whose hen was tho mother
of the chickens. Now, ordinary common
sense -would suggest that as the hatch
ing of the chickens was a mere mechan
ical process, chiefly dependent upon
caloric, as science has demonstrated
most thoroughly, it is not characteristic,
or necessarily even suggestive, of moth
erhood. The Bitting hen is unquestion
ably an efficient incubator, and so, too,
would be a rooster if you could get him
to sit long enough; but who would pre
sume to say that a rooster could become
a mother, even if ho should hatch
dozen broods? Justice McMahon has
decided that Farmer Gormley must sur
render the two chickens to Farmer Mc
Caughn or pay to him the full amount
of their value. Hut is not Farmer
Gormley entitled to pay for the labor
and services of his hen in hatching the
eggs? The docision of the justice is
righteous as to the main point at issue,
but he seems to have overlooked tho
propriety of a counter claim. We ad
viao Farmor Gormley to appeal.
PECULIAR MANIA.
Aa Austrian Kleptomaniac Whoa Wcak
neea Wa Ilaodkerrhlera.
Probably no uncivilized roan believes
in kleptomania, 6ajB tbe Hospital. Even
among civilized peoples many persons
smile incredulously when they are told
of the acts ot kleptomaniacs. They
know better; the kleptomaniac is a thief
-with a fine name, and the name has
been invented for the purpose of screen
ing the higher classes who indulge in
low vices.
But a case has Leon brought to light
recently which ought to convince the
most skeptical. A man was arrested a
short time ago in tho act of stealing a
pocket-handkerchief from a lady in a
Vienna suburb. In his 6ane days he had
beon a prosperous banker, but a mania
for cambric handkerchiefs siezed upon
him and proved his ruin. It was his
hubit to accost ladies in the street and
offer to buy their pocket-handkerchiefs.
If they refused ho used to get angry and
offer higher and higher prices until a
bargain was struck. Many ladies could
they have been ladles? traded upon
his madness, until at last all his money
was spent and ho became a bank
rupt. But bankruptcy did not cure his
mania, for, no longer having money to
tpay for pocket-handkerchiefs, ho took
to stealing them and ww sent to prison.
For five years nothing was beard of his
depredations, and it was believed that
his Imprisonment had cured him. But
a short time ago he was discovered at
his old tricks.
When arrested he bad fifteen cambric
handkerchiefs in his possession, all of
which he confessed to having stolen
within an hour. In his bedroom four
hundred and thirty-four cambric pocket
handkerchiefs were found, and it is be
lieved that many mora were concealed
in hiding-places which he refused to re
veal, lie has never been known to steal
any thing else, nor does ho seem tohave
mado any use of the cambric handker
chiefs. The tribunal before which he
appeared very properly sent him to
mad -house and not to prison. This caso
is absolutely convincing, and probably
no one who reads it will in future doubt
the fact of kleptomania.
HIS
NAMX RECORDED.
And the
Story ixoean't Smy Wkethw
It
Wu Ka.ed or Not.
A gentleman was complaints bitter
ly ot tbo lack of enterprise shown by
tho local newspapers) in printing; tho
news. "Ice reporters never seem to
get onto any thinjr nowadays,'' he
prowled. 'I don't supposn any of them
heard a word about tho Blug-ginfj that a
prominent capitalist gave a leading
banker at the Windsor Hotel last Sun
day." A newspaper man in the employ of the
Nebraska State Journal in bearing gave
assurance that be was. in full possession
of tbe facts.
'Then why didn't you print the
story?" demanded the stern critic
Do you believe that such things
should be printed?"
"Why, of courser with a scornful
snort. "Of course! That is what
papers are for. I wouldn't suppress any
thing if I was running a paper."
The newspaper man took out his note
book and made an entry of the name of
the critic
What's that for ?" demanded the gen
tleman. 'To pull on you the next time you get
into trouble like you did last March and
come around and want the papers to
hush it up. See?"
A dark brown silenco fell on the group.
In a moment the critic lifted his voice.
"As Bocn as you craso my name,"
aid he, 'I will move an adjournment to
tho ciz' stand."
A Wise Mae's Reflections.
A man on the point of doing a wrong
thing should ask himself, not what oth
er peoplo will think of bim, but what
will he think of himself.
The poorest mathematicians aro the
quickest ones to contradict tbe multi
plication table.
Never judge a person hastily. Even
the dog in the manger may have been
a nervous animal that needed rest and
quiet
If you must leave footprints on the
sands of time, let your toes point in the
right direction. Too often it happens
that ono's footprints abide as accusing
witnesses.
. There are many forks in the road to a
success, and the wise man will not rely
on guessing to find out which way to go
when be comes to a bother.
Both in art and in practical life one
should avoid a blind worebip of the
extraordinary; we too often bestow ad
miration when only curiosity is called
for. Century.

L nul a wt-rk or so ngt
he had not Ixn-n known to buy a new-
suit of clot lies for yc-ar. Tlic ones lie
wore had been so often patched and re
patched that no bit of the original warp
and wool was visible. This personal
slovenliness on the part of her husband
was a sourer of constant annoyance to
Mrs. Koberts, who is a woman of ex
ceptional neatness. She lonjr ajo lo
came so ashamed of his appearance that
she would no longrr aiTompanj' him to
town to do her trading. This singular
charai-terisiic of tho farmer was not
owinp to rentiriiiiMiess, for he is a lilior
al man in all Lis dealings.
A fi-w days aero ho went to town to do
a little trailing, and, to the utt r astoti
i.shruoiit of the town, he'purchascd a new
suit of clothes for himself. His new
clothes wero done up in a package, and
he placid the package on tho wa;ron
seat beside him when ho started bon o
that nig-ht. It was a dark nirht. Far
mer Huberts had pot half way home
when a brilliant idea struck him. llo
stopped his horso on a briJg-e where tho
road crosses the Kast branch.

TliA-rt-upon farmer rose up in his
wajon and bean to take off the patched
and repatclied clothes lie had worn so
long-. As he removed a parment he
tossed it into tho creek until he Lad
tossM them all in, and had nothing on
but his shirt.
"tJreat applo sass!'' he exclaimed.
'Itut won't Kliz-i le su'prised'."
Then I'arnu r Kolrerts reached for the
package that had his new clothes in. It
wasn't on the su:it. Farmer IIoIhti i u'ot
dwon and reacheil under t!j? seat. '1 In
package wasn't there. 1'hen he felt all
over the iMittoul of the wagon. The
package wasn't any where on the bot
tom. Farmer Huberts rose up in the
wagon and looked b;u-k along the pitch
dark road.
Then he climbed back in his seat, and
away the horses went for home. The
night was chilly, and then; w:n three
miles to po. When Farmer Huberts
reached home and climbed out of his
wagon he paused.
"The hull idee didn't work," sail he

That he did no one doubts, but when
he pot up in the morning and went out

brake handle at the side of tie w agon,
he was a little surprised himself.

A Row That Took I'l.irp. In Conirres Lte-
f.,r tlir War.
Tho bloiidless and bruiscless fist-fight
between Congressmen Wilson of Wash
ington and Ii-ckwith of New .Jersey
has started a flow of reminiscences of
other ludicrous spats on the (l.Kiruf tho
House, says a Washington covresiioiid-
ent ol luc St. Iotiis ,loie-temocntt.
One of the best stories is t.id by Colonel
Ilintori, who was a newspaper corre
spondent here before iho war. Some
phaso of the slavery question was up in
the House. Owen Iovejoj. of Illinois,
had been talking, and, as Usual, he had
aggravated the Southerners. liarks
dale, of Mississippi, replied. Hot words
passed. This-was not the I'.arksdale of
recent service in the House, hut lien-
oral Uark.sdi.le, who was killed during
tho war. As the interchange of in
vectives grew nro and more personal it
seemed that an encounter was unavoida
ble. Iioger A. l'ryor, then a young
Congressman from Virginia, raised
tho lid of his desk and slipped out a
pistol. Several others pot ready. Just
as tho crisis was at hand a giant of a
man from Wisconsin named Hotter sud
denly reached over from tho Hc-
ublican side of the House ana
made a crab for Harksdale. The
Mississippian had long hair, which
he always wore care-fully brushed. To
To the astonishment of tho whole House
the luxuriant hair nroved to be a wijr.
It came off. of course, l'ott-er stood
there duin founded, folding the mag
nificent covering aloft and looking first
at the hair and then at tho bald head be
neath. Tho House held its breath for a
moment and then roar after roar of
laughter drowned out all feeling of re
sentment, l'ryor raised tho lid of his
desk, put back his pistol, and laughed.
Lovejoy sat down convulsed. Hotter
awkwardly restored tho wig, anil then
both he and IJarksdule smiled. There
was no more thought of fighting over
slavery that day.
A BLUE-GRASS IDYL.
Two Krntnrklan. Sottle a nifflcnlt- ami
a Hoi lu at .r-nt lonianly tVay.
A blue-grass idyl has been circulating
through tho Southern society for several
days. It is, says iho New York Times,
a tale of two Kentuckians one a Major,
the other a Colonel who, after a night
of luck at pokr, determined to gratify
an oft-expressoO. desire to visit Now
York. They can-, and after two days
of sight-seeing tle Colonel suggested to
the Major that a trip to New l ork
would not le complete without a dinner
at IKdmonico's. The Major agreed.
It was deemed that it would hardly
be considerate to take Mr. Delnionico
unawares, and in order to prepare him
for so unusual an event as a swell din
ner for two the Kentucky gentlemen
went to tho restaurant early in the day,
called for the head waiter and told hiui
what they wanted. "Spare no expense,
thev said.
They dined at six. It was a splendid
dinner. They tasted wines of all kinds
that they had never heard of lie fore.
They ate a great deal and dr.ink a creat
deal and told each other stori.-s liiatltoth
knew by heart. The banquet lasted
three Lours.
They called for their bill. Tbo waiter
placed a check, face down, on the menu
The gentlemen were toasting each other
as the waiter did this, and when they
placed their glasses on the tahie bo was
gone. They saw what appeared to them
to bo a scran of paiier on me menu
and brushed It olf. The old fel
lows were ignorant of tho customs of
French restaurants ami they conciuaea
thnt the menu must bo the bill. Tho
Colonel began to figure up tho prices.
It seemed that they had eaten a great
deal, but the names of dishes were in a
language unknown to them, and, any
way, they were not in a mood to lother
about trifles.
But tho Colonel paped when he fig
ured up the total. It was S'JC.O.
'Great heavens, Bah!" ho exclaimed
to the Major. "It is S'JOO. If we pay
this we can t get back home."
We might," suggested tho Major,
faintly, "we might jump out of this
window and run.
".no, san," sam the Colonel, hringing
his fist down on the table. "Wo are
Kentucky gentlemen, sah. We will pay
this bill, sah, and then, sah, wo w ill
shoot the landlord, sah."

An applicant for the posiii.m of . U. v
man conies in and asks me fur a position
"'V.'hat aro your 'iualifieations, and
how much experience, Lave you had?' I
ask.
He tolls me, and then I ask hire
w hat pay he wants. lie will na:ue tLe
..mount ho thinks he li worth. Vr.
Laps it is the limit of the. amount pall
in the department that he wants work
in. If I think 1 want him (and I asiura
you. lnr years of experience hVc
taupht n.anarers to (ruess pretty accur
ately oT n !-iii"a worth in ono inter

place, hut a oi.ld not like to pay Lira .
first quite :i.i mudi as he asks. If a'.l is
batisfa-tir hetwpon vu, and be is en
paired, that ends it.
"lie is introduced to tho floor- alkr-r
in his d'-partnient, who in turn in
tmj'joea him to the other clerks in tL&t
department. He iw grien a check-lmok,
placed hehind the counter and h ft w
li asi ic for himself. That's all thert) i
tu it. Wo don't tell hiai to act j.:stso,
iiid to lie polite to thin party or cot
idle, etc. None of that at all. When I
hired tho man I did it aupposinp he was
a competent man and a pcntleman. No
lx-p-iiiners or novices are taken. The
men in ust hare learm-d their business in
sore- Mi.aller house tieforo they will p.-t
a job in a larg-o one, and durinp their
appremice days should have kiarned all
tin-no points which go to make up t
;-o.id salesiuan. He must know Lia
duii.-o thoroughly and understand tLe
art of si-Kiripj- the articles in his depart
ment, once he becomes familiar with
them and the prices.
"As to his manners, I would not have
hired him if I did not lielievo him to ho
a penile man. I never say any thine to
a new man on that head at all. IIo
should be well posted on ail- points of
etiquette and jpood-breodinp- necessary
to make him agreeable to the peoplo he
waits on. Tho man is expatd to go
ri;:ht ii. and sell poods in a way that
will be protitable to the house and pleas
ing to its patrons.
"A clerk's pay is not pau(j-rd by hi.
experience, but according to the depart
ment ho is in sand his ability to sell
poods. There is a certain limit for tLo
pay of clerks in each department, and
we rarely po over that. A clerk is hired

pay, iiTid pent-rally that ends it."
In what department does a ulerk get
the best pay?"
"In the dress-poods. Bilk or linen de
partment. You see, in the dress-poods
end silk departments a preat deal of tho
sales depends on the ability of tho
clerk to make the customer buy what
she doesn't want. To so arranpe f;ilrk-s
as to catch her eye and make her want
them, llo must be a pood talker. in
short, have the 'gift of pah, so as to
make his patrons covet and blly more
than they really intended to. Often
comparatively new and inex.ierii'iieed
man will be piven a josition in thiso
departments for tho very reason that bo
is a pood talker. Tho rcanaper thinki
he bus the ripht qualifications, and. 1
tl.puph he may not know a.thinir abutit
the business, the new ulerk will po in
and sell ripht over the heads of the old
clerks. Such a man is valuable, and is
penerally. in the course of time, trans
ferred to the wholesale houso and bint
out on tho road.
'A man who understands linens ib al
most always in preat demand. Our
linens aro made in the old countries,
and when a man coines alonp who Iia.

can sell them. Such men are always
buro of a position, and pet pood pay."
