Susquehanna, August 24. A hen can
sit in a great deal more heat than Is
necessary to hatch out her chickens.
A hen belonging to Mrs. O'Brien, of
Stnrrucn, contracted tho curious habit
of going Into the oven In the mornings
ind sitting thcro until she wns driven
out or until the ncwly-llghted lire mnde
the place too warm for comfort. Then,
as the catch of the door was worn and
tho door was not often shut, she would
step out, qulto frequently leaving an
egg behind her. The other day Mrs.
O'Brien placed a crlddle in the oven
to bake some biscuits on. She went
Into the cellar to get wood to kindle the
fire, and In her absence the hen entered
the oven nnd sat down on the griddle.
When Mrs. O'Brien returned she did
not notice tho bird, and, having fas
tened tho door with a wire, she soon
had tho lire glowing. A quarter of an
hour later, when she opened the door
to put In her buscults, the hen Jumped
out out and a blast of heat followed
her. Her eyes were bulging, and her
feathers were badly singed, lut she
did not seem to have sustained any ser
ious Injury. But the egg she had laid
on the griddle was cooked.

WHY NOT REFORM?
In his last Issue, Bre'r Sam More, the
wicked editor ot the Great Bend Plain
dealer, makes this public confession:
"We lot our timber rot and buy fenc
ing. Wo throw away our ashes and
buy sonp. We raise dogs and buy hogs.
We grow weeds and buy vegetables
and brooms. We catch fish with a 4
rod. We dispense xlU the old fashion
ed $2 hand sled and buy our boys $100
bicycles. We build school houses and
send our children away to be educated
awav from home. And lastly we send
our boys out with a $10 gun and $10
dogs to hunt 10 cent game. And then
we complain of hard times."

CASUALLY OBSERVED.
That when a fellow 'misses a train
he Is very anxious to catch, he likes to
hear people shout "That Is a good joke
on you!"
That nfter you are good yourself It
Is time to complain of the wickedness
of others.
That the poison of the rattlesnake Is
a valuable medicine. The venom of the
neighborhood slanderer does not cure.
But It often kills. Perhaps .ther Isn't a
hell, but there ought to be an extra hot
one for slanderers.
That at an Anarchists picnic near
Philadelphia three Anarchists were
fatally bitten by snakes. Let's raise
more snakes.
That every time people talk love they
try to pass their brass money as gold.
And people who have the easiest time
are generally the first to suggest that
somebody else go to work .
And "man wants but little here be
low." He can count himself mighty
lucky If he gets it.
And did you ever notice how quickly
tho world gets out of Joint when It
ceases to come your way?

AimiFEnous geese.
A remarkable discovery was made
by Patrick Casey, of tho Cascade, a
few days since. He lives near the Sus
quehanna river, and keeps a flock of
geese. Killing one of the Hock, n pe
culiar metal was found In its crop, In
small quantities. His curiosity led him
to kill another goose, the crop of which
contained about the same quantity of
the same metal. About a teaspoonful
was taken from tho crop of the two
geese. Tho mineral was tested by a
Susquehanna Jeweler, who pronounced
It sliver. Tho geese are most of the
time In the river, which Is shallow In
places, or on tho gravelly bank, tho
accumulation of ages.
SAID TO BE FACTS.
A Herrlck man recently went Into tho
woods, painted a black circle on tho
end of a log, and when he went back
to the log, an hour later, he found
seven dead rabbits there. The animals
had mistaken the circle for a hole In the
log and dashed themselves against It.
A farmer near Montrose, having an
ox that did not obey orders, concluded
that the animal was deaf, and bought
an ear trumpet, which worked with
great success. The animal had lost Its
appetite, but, with Its return of hear
ing, ate heartily. The ear trumpet Is
fastened In place by wires around one
of the horns.

A FISHING CRAZE.
A Lanesboro man on Sundny saw a
crane get a pickerel dinner. He watched
the tall bird standing upon a log In the
river. The bird had a bug In his bill,
and he kept dropping It Into the stream
till It floated past him, and then
grabbed It again and repeated tho per
formance. He looked as If he was going
to sleep. The old fellow kept the bug
floating In front of him for half an
hour, when all of a sudden a big pick
erel came up to the surface and made
a dive for the bait. The pickerel was
down the cranes throat In less than a
'second, and Mr. Crane flopped his
wings In triumph and flew away. He
took the bug away In his bill, for use
another time.

New York, Aug. 21. Tho opening of

a lively reawakening of outsldo Inter
est ns Indicated by a largo volume of
commission house orders, which had
come Into tho brokers' offices over night
nnd which kept up nn animated tone In
the dealings during most of tho morn
ing. There wo also heavy buying for
largo Individual Interests nnd prices of
sumo stocks tapped tho year's record.
Tho preferred stoclo of reorganized com
panies were qulto prominent, nnd tho
shares of Southwestern roads wcro not
ably strong nnd continued firm all day.
Tho grangers were leaders In point of
activity nnd strength, but realizing sales
wero heavy nt n given point In their nd
vnnce, forming a barrier. Tho cnurso of
tho wheat market wns watched with sym
pathetic Interest. 80 fnr ns Its decline
wns duo to rcfutntlons of crop damago
rumors It helped tho stock out. But
when tho cable brought news of a break
In England nnd a decreased demand for
wneat, railroad stoclts responded wltn a
sympathetic decline. Tho fnlllng off In
prices of American securities In London
wns Ignored nt the opening here, partly
because It wnB nttrlbutcd to tho settle
ment which begins tomorrow. But Inter
In tho day tho cable reported the Lon
don market heavy on tho tenor of news
from India, London ndvlccs nlso report
that the continued fall In silver Is nn
unsettling Influence In that market. Sil
