QUEER SITTING HENS,

How Two Faithful Bitters Chanced

Explanation.
The White MInornas those hens with
great combs, which look exactly like
roosters and are called Catalans by tbe
Spanish will lay perhaps more eggs in
a year than any other sort of hen, but
tbey will not lay tbom in cold weather,
and it ia nnlikely that any one of them
was ever known to hutuh o brood of
chickens. The Minorcas will indeed
sometimes begin to flit but they seem
to be under the impression that three
days ought to bo, in all conscience, a
long enough time in which to batch ont
an egg, and at tbe expiration of about
that time tbey will abandon the attempt
with a great flutter and muoh denuncia
tory oratory. Jf tbey aro fastened down
on the nest with o bocul placed atxrve
their backs! tbey will stand np as high
as they can under tbe board and let tbe
cold air addle their eggs. It is doubtful
if any human being, male or female,
wicked or pious, CbristiaiK.or pagan,
ever got a Minorca hen to sit.

erbood. A very peaceful gentleman, not
unconnected with tho work of the Hu
mane society, moved into the country
three or four years ago. Having occa
sion to purchase two or three sittings of
eggs, be 'bought one of a good working
woman wbo lived on tbe outskirts or
the town and Who happened fo have
mole relatives of sporting proclivities,
thoacb tbecrontlemandidnot know that
and would hardly have oared if he bad
known. The sporting proclivities ol
those persons oould hardly affect tbe
hens' ess raised nn tbo place. Tbe in
ting of eggs turned out beautifully, and
iu duo time some exqulBite little red
chickens were running about with tbe
old gray hen who hud been their foster
mother. The chickens were so pretty
that tbey were admired above all others
on tbo place. Tbey grew apace, and be
fore long tboir owner discovered that
tbey were engaged in warfare most of
tbe time, either with one another or
with other little cbiokena. Redoubtable
fighters tbey were, too, and while any
one or tbein would easily wmp any
chicken of any other brood, when tbey
fougbt with one another it seemed to be
a fight to the dcatb. Tbe peaceable gen
tlemau deprecated these ooutestsvery
much, but bo was powerless to prevent
tbem. Wbat could muke them fight so?
Finally a light dawned on tbe humane
gentleman's mind. Tbe proclivities of
the men of tbe nonsebold from wnicn
be bad purchased the sitting of eggs
had indeed led tbem to a partiality for
game fowls, and by innocently buying
a baker's dozen of eggs from tbe woman
of tbe bouse and. sitting them under a
ben he bad unconsciously embarked in
tbe business of keeping fighting cooks.
A good story is told by .New Eng
land woman.
Out in a aoiet corner of tbe garden,
in two barrels lying on their sides, sat
two expectant hens patiently awaiting
tbe happy day when the joys of free
dom, so dear to their bearta, should bs
enhanced through sharing It wltb
nestling, panning brood of downy dar
Unas all their own.- The boors of long,
bright spring days slowly ran tbeir
course and balf tba allotted time of
waiting bad been uncomplainingly en
dured by one of tbe pair, while her
neighbor bad just enteied upon her
term of enforced seclusion, when one
nlabt a fierce tempest swept down upon
those two bumble dwellings. Tba wind
and rain came with such terrific force
that it seemed nothing snort ol mouri
tain could withstand it Theiitmorn
ing ws hastened to tbe spot, "prepared to
find otter fuTri and dismay, Instead of
which, to our great surprise, we found
tbe frail habitations still standing.
Moreover, tbey were still tenanted, al
though there were unmistakable signs
of hardship and suffering having seen

On closer - examination, however, ws
found that singular thing had happen

Differences of opinion prevail as to

from several standpoints, giving a plan
for mixed planting as ronows:
- In general cultivation it is not best to

-THE. ABSURDITY OF WAR.
A Belief UI Unners That Ood Is on th
Ida of tto On That Does Moat Injury.
'War is the hut remnant of man's
mode of deciding dipritos in the ani
mal or savage state. As soon as he
started on the road to civilization
he set up judges of courts to settle
controversies. Before that, when
two rnen differed about anything,
thoy tore or mutilated each other's
bodies, and it was tacitly agreed
that the man who was most muti
lated, if not killed, should give way.
But he abode by the decisions of
courts very reluctantly. The hard
est battle of tho reformers of tho
race was to got him to submit to tho
Judges. Ho always preferred in bis
heart some kind of niutilution of his
adversary's body, and in order to
givo a certain dignity to this mode
of settling quarrels be got up the
theory that God presided over it
and always gave tbe victory to the
man who was in the right. In Eng
land this notion lasted in tho "trial
by battle, " or "wager of battlo, " al
most down to our own time. It was
held that the deity was on the side
of tho man who gave most cute and
stabs.
When tho wager of battle as a set
tlement of disputes of any kind be
come too absurd, the turbulent
clusses wore driven into starting
the duel. They folt that there must
1)0 some mode reserved of getting nt
adversary's body with some
n .. ...t.a
weapon. Ho tnoy esiuuusnea tne
rule thut all offenses against what
they culled their "honor" that is,
their senso of personal dignity
must be avenged by cutting, stab
bing or shooting, and that each man
must decide when bis "honor was
injured and when cutting, stabbing
or shootinir was nooossary. This
was a very cunning arrangement,
for if it were left to other people to
say when your "honor" was injur
ed you might never, or very rarely,
get a chance to cut or stab or shoot
at oil, because they might say your
honor was not injured. But there
was even a better device than this;
for it was arranged that the man
who you said had injured your hoa
or oould not dony it or apologize
without disgrace. He was held
bound, no matter how trifling the
injury, to give you u chance to cut
him or stab him und to do his beet
to cut or stab you. Iu what manner
this mended your honor was never
explained. To all outward appear
ance, after the theory of tbe interest
of the deity in the matter had died
out, your honor remained after the
fight exactly what it was before the
fight The cutting and stabbing
had neither proved nor dispravadrf
anything. It had simply gratified
an animal Instinct of the primeval
time. Dueling, however, has disap
peared here and in England. It
flourishes still in the old barbarous,
absurd form on tho continent.
Disputes between nations, for ob
vious reasons, have not come us rap
idly under human method of de
cision as disputes between individ
ual. Nations have never agreetl to
have judges and argument as indi
vidual have. Tho rnnilt is that
their modeof deciding difference of
opinion has always remained the
old animal one of doing as much
material injury a possible to the
other side, and there still lingers the
belief that Uod t on tbe side of the
one which does moa-t injury ; that
he counts np the number of killed
and wounded and decides that tho
one which has most killed and
wounded is in tbe wrong. During
war be is prayed to WO that tbe
number of killed and wounded on
the other side may be tbe larger,
and after whst Is called a "victory"
that is, the killing and wounding
of a larger number of your ene
mies--than they bav-managed to
kill and wound on your side people
hurry to cntrrch and sing hymns of
thanks. Tbls belief Is very strong
still in oar day, and tbe enemy s
desd are counted Joyfully. Tbe hu
man plan of deciding differences of
opinion by Judges, proofs end argu
mentative persuasion, as distinguish
ed from the animal or feline plan of
deciding by the tearing and rending
of bodies, has in fact not made
much progTena, tboogh It has begun
to receive attention. E. L. Godkln

INSURANCE
I wish to call the attention of insurers in Alamance county
to tho fact that the Uurlington Insurance Agency, established in
1R9.J by tho Into firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring.
There is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better
facilities for placing largo lines of insurance, that can give low
er rates or better indemnity. Only first-class companies, in every
branch of tbo business, find a lodgement in my office. With
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
in soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee fall
satisfaction in every instance. Correspondence solicited upon
. all inutlcra pertaining to insurance. '
I am making a ,iocialty of Life Insurance and will make
it to the interest of all who desire protection for their families
or their estates, or who wish to make alisolutely safe and profit
able investment, to confer with me before giving their applica
tions to other agents. , '
Very respectfully, . ig '
