During the month of March they gathered 10,604 eggs. They now have 1,140 chicks out, 600 of which are feathered, and 2,180 eggs in the incubators hatching. The Guillots are engaged in building 600 feet of new henneries. Tins will increase tueir ca pacity to 2,700 hens. Their stock 'is all of the White Leghorn variety. There are many people living to-day who remember, during a period of hard times, when chickory and acorns were browned and used for coffee, and the leayes of a kind of woodbine, almost ex actly like the tea plant, were gathered and steeped as a substitute for tea. In many households a saucer of grease, with a bt of a rag for a wick did duty for candles. Lard was used for. butter, and corn bread and sorghum constituted the principal daily food in many fam ilies. Bread and butter was a luxury, and was eaten with the butter side next the tongue.

Dr. Peterson, of Honesdale, who was quickly summoned, found, on investigation, that the man had Bwallowed the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid.
