Why I Go to Church.—Masculixe Reasons.—Because Canon Mauley is safe to utter somu home truth from the pulpit which no one dare say out of it, and one likes to see how awfully scandalised the old fogies of both sexes are safe to be at it. Because one feels curious to ascertain to what lengths of rot old ISoshvillecango in the pulpit. Because one likes to see how near that young Kubrick can gut to Home without actually crossing the Ktibicun. Because, unless Igo to day, the opportunity may be lost, as—if one is to believe, my i.iberationist neighbour, old Jawkins—thu church is safe to be disestablished, if not next week, next year at latest. Because cuie likes to set a good example. Because one catches glimpses of all the pretty girls in the parish. Because most respectable people go. i'.ecause I really should like to believe in something or other, only I haven't time to decide for myself what that something should be, and a fellow might get a lead at church some Sunday, perhap3.— Punch. To Make Hens Lay.—When egijs bear such a price, and are so delicious in the many ways the good cook brings them to the table, it is necessary the hens shuuld have a little attention. Give them warm drink every morning. See that they havo an abundance of gravel ; old pieces of crockery pounded up will answer better than nothing. Coneuct a pudding for them two or three time- a week, not oftener. Place an old pailout :'t one side, and into this throw the in-.it Vr.'.ps g..od for nothing else, c-g-sln ■'~. !«ir:s, hominy, bread crusts, corn jarc'io-i v.>ry blowup coarse meal, sittings, &c, disii.wi.en the day arrives to serve up jiarlh.ilcd take the water in which you have tin's. and yorr p-..rk and Wims. or other greasy y.-ati-r i.tirrii!

Let it stand a short time after it is tiiuroughly stirred, and feed while warm. Aside from this give warm drink every morning and you will have plenty of eggs.
