A Little Hen Song.
How doth the little busy hen
Improve each shining minute?
By going to her little nesi
And laying eggs right in it.

Improve this glad occasion?

The Lay of the Hen.
Poets have composed rhyming trib
utes to many of the feathered songsters
f the air, which indeed are worthy of
poelic praise, being gladsome to the eye
and ear, yet the homely, humble hen is
more useful if not more ornamental
than they, and is entitled to at least an
occasional word of appreciation in
prose. True, city people during a por
tion of the year, and the larger portion
too in thin city, have a grievance against
tlie hen, on account of the higb price
of hr product, but she may receive
some blame that should fall elsewhere,
and at any rate we cau forgive her if,
as it is hoped she soon will, she settles
down to the steady business of laying,
and fo brings fresh eggs within reach
of tbo common people. This is prop
erly the seasou of the hen's triumph
over the egg dcnlers, and her manifest
good will toward her fellow but feath
erless bipeds, who hnve come to con
sider the neat packages of meat she
cackles over as a necessity.
It is said that three fourths of all the
eggs laid in the United Slates are laid
between Match 1 ami July 1. As to the
trul h of this we do not know, but we
all know that this Easter season is ap
propriately the hen's busy season also,
mid she shall not be left to do all her
her own ruckling.
Wo love the cheerful robin's e..rly
roundelay, the twittering of the fcuuey
wren, Urn mellow warbling of the
thr -sh, the oriole's rich note, matching
with his plu:iiHge, and evtn the rowdy
remarks of the impudent jay, but from
a r rosy ciut ol view there is more
nviiie to the hungry man waiting for
liis breakfast iu tlie rejoicing yet not
Wis. ful cackle of the hen alio thus
announces that she has contributed
materially to the sustenance and com
fort of the world, and earned her own
living. Indeed, this homely, rural
music of the laying hens is both an
nunciatory and prophetic of prosper
ity, wealth and good cheer. The farm
yard hen is practical rather than poetic,
jolly rather than musical; but her brier
diurnal announcement is of far greater
importance to mankind than all the
crowing done by the strutting cock
from dawn till dusk and herein she
aud he are illustrative of certaiu human
types and traits.
The hen is an important factor in
the nation'b wealth. Iu 1900 the poul
try sold brought f 137,000,000. and the
eggs $144,000,000, a total of $281,000,000,
which was 400 per cent on the invest
ment. The figures are doubtless much
larger now. The average yield of a
properly cared for lien is 120 eggs a
year, though aa hig a record as 251 eggs
a year has been made, and even at this
late day many people are just learning
how to treat hous so they will produce
more eggs aud consequently more poul
try. But even as she stands, or sits, or
scratches, or runs or cackles, the hum
ble American lieu deserves this much
of a tribute. Portland Journal.

Love is a disease of the heart that
makes the world go round. It is found
in both sexes before marriage. It is
that peculiar power that makes a six-dollar-a-week
clerk spend four dollars
for a horse and buggy to take a girl
riding on Sunday. Love is said to be
blind aud I guess that's so, for those iu
love cay it is out of sight. Many a fel
low falls iu love to wake up to find that
he has landed in debt. There are three
kinds of love, puppy love, half way
love aud true love. The first is for
boys aud girls, the second is not very
dangerous but when you get to the
third yon are liable to be up against it
sure and you might as well visit the in
stallment furniture store.

Signal From Mountain Top.
From the summit of Mount Howl
communication will be established with
the Levis and Clark Exposition
grounds. At each of these two points
detachments from the United States
Signal Corps service will be stationed,
and each day and night communica
tions will be exchauged by means of
heliograph and flash signals and other
methods used by the military. This
announcement has just been issued by
by the War Department.
Major W. A. C4lassford, V. S A., in
advising the Kxposition officials of the
Department's decision, states that the
signal stations are bonud to be a suc
cess, as he will detail only such men as
have been in active service and have
been rendered experts.
The signal camp at the Exposition
will be pitched at a convenient place
on the Government peninsula Thus
the operations may be seen from all
parts of the grounds. The Meant
Hood c.imp will be established on the
very summit of the majestic peak.
It is intended to couduct several ex
cursions to die camp uuder the auspices
of the Mazainas. This organization of
Oregon mountain-climbing enthusiasts
has been in communication with the
War Department for some time urging
that signal camps be established, and
the credit of the Government's conces
sion undoubtedly is due to the Mazamas.
About Rheumatism.
There are few diseases that inflct more
torture than rboumiitism and there is
probably no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured is, therefore, a bold statement to
make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success in the treatment of
this disease. One application of Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and
costs but a trifle? For sale by O. O.

An Editor's Opinion of the
Royal Gorge.
Edyth Tozier Weatherred, in describ
ing a recent trip over the Denver & Itio
Graude Railroad, says iu "The Expo
sition': "At last tlie goal of the ambition of
years has been reached marvelous,
wonderful, graud and inspiring Itoyal
Gorge is on either hand. The only dis
appointing thing is vou only have one
pair of eyes, while the train darts in
and out of the tremendous chasm. If
any who have never seen it are wonder
ing how it looks just go and see.
Thousands have tried to describe it, yot
every attempt falls short of giving tbo
subject justice."
