Origin of Game Fowls.From an English Publication.
Great Britain it the only country inEurope which possesses the Game fowl.India and its islands' are probably theoriginal countries of the Game fowl, andstill possess it. Game fowls arc also to befound in Spanish America, probably im-ported thither from Manilla, in thePhilippine Islands. Persia and AsiaMinor, or Syria, once had them, and theancient Greeks and Romans were famousfor their Game fowls. It is likewise saidthat the Romans introduced them into Eng-land. AVith the ancient Greeks the islandof Rhodus was famous for its Red Gamefowls, which were called Rhodiau Reds,and the island of Delos for its Silver Greys,which were called Dclos Silrers. Some as-sert that Game fowls were indigenous totne tsritisu islands, and some can tnem aRoman importation ; but it is strange thatif a Roman importation, Great Britainalone, of all the Roman European colonies,should have retained them. This wouldrather prove that they were natives of theBritish Islands, though they certainly rath-er have the appearance of a tropical or In-
dian origin. However, they have prob-ably been in England since its occupationby the Romans.
"It has been asserted that the Gallushankita was the progenitor of the Gamefowl. I incline to to the belief that thethree original colors of the Game fowlswere those of the wild original birds whichhad been reclaimed from a state of natureat some very early period, perhaps inIndia. The Gallus btuikica is not lierceenough, or strong enough, to have beenthe original of our Game breeds, thoughBankivas resemble the Black-breaste- d RedGames. They were no doubt the originalsfrom which sprung our Bantams, GameBantams being very like them, espec-ially the Black-breaste- d Red, though theBantams are a little smaller than theBankivas. The Gallus sonnerutus, orIndian Jungle fowl, has been mentionedas the original of the Game ; but in thisbreed the hen has neither the comb or thewattles, aud the cock has the peculiarhorny structure of the feathers, whichshow them not to have been the parentstock of our Game breeds, though theyare fierce and spirited birds and used forcoek-iij'htin- g by the natives of the EastIndies. The wild Gallus furcalux, or fork-taile- d
cock, thoroughly resembles our blue-legge- d
Red Dun Game, having the bluelegs aud blue-du- n breast and tail, and isrod in the plumage ; but the comb in thisspecies is not serrated or lobed, and it hasonly a single wattle, and therefore differsrather too much.
Game fowls may probably have sprungfrom the mixture of all the three breedsnamed with their own tnree original wildcolors, as many good naturalists believethem to have done. I think, however,that the characteristics differ rather toomuch, and adhere to the belief that the or-
iginal colors, which arc still to be metwith in India as well as in Britain, werederived from birds reclaimed from thewild state in India or elsewhere at anearly period. Most India game fowls aioyellow-legge- d, but not all. The specimenslately exhibited by the late Mr. B. P.Brent appeared to be the true IndianGame. I have already stated thatsome breeders consider the GreyGame fowls to ba a primitive or origi-nal color, but brown of various shadesis certainly the oriinnal color in Gamehens, and assimilates best with the colorof the earth, the foliage and bark of trees,and every natural object which gray doesnot. Gtay is the wild color for our seabirds, as brown is for land birds ; andmost good judges condemn gray as theoriginal color, and agree that the brownhens of dill'crent shades, and their redcocks with the greenish-dar- k tails, are theonly true originals. The grays, too,always incline much to breed back to thebrown hens and red cocks, which showsthat these are certainly the tme originalcolors ; and gray is often ditlicttlt to pro-duce, as in the Game Bantam breeds. Grayis therefore most certainly not an oi iginalcolor, as some still erroneously supposeand assert."
A Profitable Farm.Special correspondence of Public Ledger.
Farming, as a general thing, is not con-
sidered a very profitable employment,nor do farmers in many sections of thestate retire upon fortunes made by tillingthe soil ; but there arc some farmers whoaccumulate a good deal of money by pro-ducing a variety of articles which yearsago were not considered a part of theirbusiness. A visit to the farm of Mr.Christopher Shearer, live miles north ofReading, gave me a good idea of pro-gress. This farm contains 100 acres, andhas upon it an orchard of Bat tlctt pearswhich occupies 10 acres ; there arc also10 acres iu peaches and apples, andanother apple orchard which occupies 18acres of land. From 10 to 20 acres areplanted in potatoes, rye, strawberries,artichokes, willow trees for baskets, anda nursery of peach trees. There is also alarge pond for gathering ice, to supply animmense refrigerator, in which the fruit isstored and kept until the market is favor-able for its sale.
The crops gathered this year were 1000bushels of pears, which sold on an averageet $2 per bushel; the peach orchard,which is quite young, produced 400 bas-kets, which sold for $1 er basket. Fromthe apple there were picked 2000 bushels,which sold from $1 to 1.30 per bushel.The apples that fell from the trees, andthose not considered worth sending tomarket, were sent to the cider press, andfrom them 200 barrels of juice wereobtained, which is now in large vats, toremain until it becomes vinegar, selling at13 cents per gallon. The patch of tobaccoyielded from 1300 to 2000 pounds per acre,and sold at 15 cents per pound. In addi-
tion to this, 2,000,000 of tobacco plantswere sold at SI per 1000 ; 1200 bushels fJerusalem artichokes were raised, for thepurpose of feeding cattle, but most ofthem were sold in Xew York, atfrom 62.30 to $3 per barrel,for pickling purposes, most ofthem being used in restaurants and bar-rooms as appetizers or for lunch. The saleof willows produced $100 this year, anrlfrom the nursery $300 was obtained by thesale of young peach and apple trees. Lastspring four acres were planted in straw-berries, and it is expected that next yearat least 10,000 quarts will be gathered.Notwithstanding the long dry spell in thissection of the state, grapes enough wetegathered to make 600 gallons of wine,which readily sells for $1 per gallon. Mr.Shearer also purchased grapes enoughfrom his neighbors to make 500 gallonsmore. On the othc. --crtions of the landthere were gathered ;2 tons of hay, 400bushels of potatoes, and 250 bushels of rye.There was also sold $200 worth of ice, thepond yielding more than was necessaryfor supplying the refrigerator, and $200was received from other farmers for stor-ing fruit. &c, in the ice house. The en-
tire cost of farming the land, includingfertilizers, was for the year $4000. Theproducts amounted to over $12,000 quitea respectable profit on 100 acres f land.
Spelling of Shakespeare's Name.Under the title "Which shall it be
Shaxpere or Shakespeare?" the veteranShakespearean scholar, Mr. J. Halliwcll-Phillip- s
has printed for private distribu-tion a small pamphlet, which goes far tosettle the vexed question of the spelling ofShakespeare s name. .Mr. t urntvall seemedto many people to stand on solid groundwhen he affirmed that the great dramatistsurely knew how to spell his own name.His signature occurs three times in hiswill, and there it is spelled Shakspere.What could be more conclusive ? Happilyfor the interests of minute controversy, theform in which Shakespeare wrote his nameon this occasion is not so conclusive as itseems. People were not so particular inthe Elizabethan age as they are now aboutthe spelling of their names, and, if anything, had a preference for varying thespelling, as if to try how their nameswould look in different forms. NowadaysBrowne would consider it a deliberate andintentional insult to write his name withoutthe e, and Smythe would throw a letter intothe fire if it came to him addressed asplain Smith. But Mr. Halliwell-Phillip- s
has collected a number of instances toprove, what he does not point out for thelirst time, that the men of the seventeenthcentury, even of the first families, aboveall suspicion of not being able to spell, didnot care for uniformity. Thos. Fuller saysthat he has seen the honorable name of Vil-lie- rs
written 14 several ways iu their ownevidence, Shakespeare s son-in-la- Dr.Hall, signed himself indifferently Hawle,Halle, aud Haulc ; Rowley, the poet, Rou-le- y,
Rowleye, and Rowley ; Alleycnc, theactor, Alleyn, Aleyn, Allin, and Allen.With these and many other examples toback him, Mr. Halliwell-Philipp- s maywell contend that to follow signatureswould ' revolutionize the system of eailynominational orthography and lead to pre-posterous results." But what authorityare we to follow ? We have spoken of Mr.Ilalliwell-Phillipps- 's pamphlet as settlingthe question, but perhaps we should rathersay that it unsettles the question. Hedoes not, However, leave us without aguiding principle. We should spell thelirst syllable, he thinks, as it is pronounced.We do not pronounce it "Shax-per- e, "and therefore, should not spell it "Shak-spea- r.
' It was pronounced "Shakc-sper- e" by his literary contemporaries, and
so spelled by Ben Jonson, by the editorsof the first folio of his works, and by him-self or printers under his supervision, iutwo printed letters. People may, there-fore, in defiance of the New Shakspere so-
ciety go on spelling it Shakespeare, with-out feeling that they thereby cast uponthe poet the imputation that he did notknow how to spell his own name. LondonArC!f8.
Floors lor Jlorse-Stuhle- s.
Gcrmantown Telegraph.As long as we can remember, the ques-
tion as to the best floors for horse stableshas been discussed. We have tried clayand ordinary dirt, but they did not provesatisfactory. Holes would be dug almostdaily by the forefeet, the urine wouldgather there, and unless great care wastaken to till them up aud smooth over thesoil daily and wash the horses' feet,scratches, would follow, and probablywhat is commonly called quarter-crac-k
result, which is likely perma-nently to injure the animals. Sandand even saw dust have been recom-mended, but as they wcro clearly notdesirable, we never tried either. We be-
gan with plank-tloorin- g, were dissuadedfrom using it, but have returned to it andfound it preferable to the others. Weprefer hemlock, a double two-inc- h plank,with the front part kept well covered withstraw at all times for the forefeet, and atnights to be well-bedd- with straight rye-stra-
We have found no disadvantagesfrom the Hooting ; the feet have not suffer-ed so far as wc can discover. Some ob-
ject to the planks, first because they archard, and others that they become slip-pery and the horse is liable to fall andstrain himself in gcttiug up ; but,if we remember rightly, the plank-road- s
were not objected to on account of theirhardness or slipperines,s ; and as to slip-plin- g,
if the flooring is a little inclined thewater is carried back, whence a slight gut-ter, also inclining somewhat, either re-moves it from the stable to the outside, Ot-
is allowed to pass under the lloor throughsmall holes in the gutter. But where thesearrangements have not been made, a cov-ering of sifted coal ashes the floor will pre-vent slipping.
Wc have known floors m stalls to bemade of boards or planks turned up on anedge, which is about as hard as anythingcan be ; also, of flagstones, mortar, andeven of asphaltum, all which we shouldsuppose might prove injurious to the ani-mal, but we have never heard that theywere. Hemlock planks, laid as we havementioned, will prove, take all the circum-stances into consideration, about as satis-factory as anything that can be substitutedand far neater and not more expensive.
His M'lilimeuts.On a Grand River car the other day, a
lady suddenly discovered that she had losther purse. The other passengers consistedof an old man and six women. Three ofthe women chuckled at the loss, two whis-pered to each other that they didn't be-
lieve it and the sixth looked around onthe lloor with eager eyes. The old man'ssympathies were aroused from the first,and he asked :
" Did your wallet contain any money?""Of course it did !'' she sharply replied."Did it also contain a photograph of
your deceased husband and other relics ofno value to any one but the owner?"
"No, sir! my husband is not dead ! Ihad over $8 in the purse."
"Over $8 and winter right at yourdoors!" he mused. " Were you carryingthis wallet in your in your pocket?"
"Yes, sir.""Did you stop iu any tobacco store
down town?"She gave him a blast with her eyes and
refused to answer."Because," he went on, "I alius lose
my wallet in a tobacco store, if anywhere.I don't think you will ever sec your lostwealth again. Have I your permission totake up a collection on this car for yourbenefit?"'
"No, sir; you will please attend to yourown business !''
"Very well I will? My sentiments,however, force me to say : I sympathizewith the bereaved in her loss. That'sall !"'
Then he sat down.Detroit Free Press.
The State Fruit-Grower- s' Convention.As we announced some time ago, the
next annual meeting of the PennsylvaniaFruit-Grower- s' society will take place atBethlehem, commencing on Wednesday,the 21st of January, and continued onThursday. This is a good point for themeeting, as it is in the midst of a fine fruit-raisin- g
region, where much interest is feltin the business by many intelligent people.There will on the forthcoming occasion benumerous reports made, essays read anddiscussions indulged in calculated to showthe importance of fruit-raisin- g, and thebroad opening for its extension. Farmers,as a body, should augment their fruit-cro- p
and bestow upon it all the attention
that any other ciop receives. It will beshown at the approaching convention howprofitable it can be made, how little landit comparatively requires, how equally cer-tain it is with other crops, and how littlelabor is necessary to perfect it, and in allhow pleasant it is to produce it.
Feminine Xotes.Miss Maud Archibald is superintendent
of schools in 31ills county, Iowa.Here is an anecdote with a moral, from
the Woman's Journal.Miss Nancy Smith was lately admitted
to the bar at Keokuk, Iowa. Her breth-ren in the law gave her a banquet on theoccasion.
The wife of the surgeon general of Ger-many is a very skillful and popular dentist,with a large practice. She is employed bymembers el the emperor s lamily.
The best farmer about Lawrence, Kan-sas, is a woman. Ten years ago she wasleft a widow with fourteen children and apatch of land. New she owns three largefarms.
Miss Stevens, a young American lady,has taken the highest prize for porcelainpaintiug in Loudon. She excels especiallyin painting American autumn leaves.
There are-- 211 women students at Univer-sity college, London. A few classes only aieopen to women and a few only to men ;
the rest are attended by male and femalestudents together.
Dr. Sarah M. Crawford is resident phy-sician of the New England hospital forwomen and children, iu Boston. Severalhundred patients have been admitted andtreated during the year. The hospital isiu a flourishing condition.
Miss Yocum, a school teacher of Kitti-tas Valley, Oregon, has taken up a landclaim, fenced it, built a house, and thisyear raised 012 yeais of grain, besidesteaching her school. She says she doesnot mean to marry until she can support ahusband.
Prince Leopold, Queen Victoria's young-est son, is utilized to make speeches at college commencements, the opening of newschools. &e. Lately this royal boy electri-fied Great Britain, as it were, by givinghis solemn sanction to the ofthe sexes. Undoubtedly it is the properthing now.
Those who saw Bertha Von Hillernwalkiu Philadelphia will be glad to hear thatshe saved $8,000 by her pedestrian exhibi-tions. She provided for her aged motheriu Germany, then put the rest of hermoney at interest to support herself, audis now studying art in Boston. She mademany friends everywhere she went.
Formerly women never were invited toany notable banquet or breakfast. At theauthors' breakfast, given to Oliver Wendell Holmes on his seventieth birthday,woman in literature was recognized forthe first time on such a grand occasion.Some twenty ladv contributors to theAtlantic Monthly were present among thegreat Yankee literary lights.
" Small girl (very harshly, to her dollin a toy carriage, dolly having tumbledfrom the seat) " Sit right up, you horridold thing ! Don't you dare do that again,or I'll whip you. ' Seeing a passer, whohad approached unobserved, she modifiedher voice and continued in dulcet tones :
Now sit up straight, darling, and becareful not to fall and hurt yourself.' "
Miss Rogers, a cousin of Richard Cob-de- n,
is the prodigy in the last examina-tions at Oxford university, England. Sheoutstripped all the other students in Greekand Latin. Her knowledge in otherbranches is quite as wonderful. Afterpassing her examinations she was at onceappointed lecturer in Somervilla hall, oneof the Oxford buildings for women students.
Rev. Anna Oliver is still pastor of herchurch in Brooklyn. Her congregation isincreasing, and she is paying oft" thechurch debt. Her sermons arc of thepractical sort, rather than the doctrinal.Recently she preached concerning the dig-nity and beauty of self-contr- taking forher text, "He answered nothing.'' Thepopular verdict was that the sermon wasone of much power, and particularly to becommended to Rev. Anna's lady parish-oner- s.
Philanthropists in England arc having ahard time devising employment for desti-tute girls aud women. The trouble ap-pears to be that there is too much " re-spectability " among the class of needyfemales, so much that they would oftenrather starve than do kitchen work. Theydeserve to starve. One kind of work isfully as " respectable " as another if it iswell done ; if not well done no kind ofwork is respectable. A writer in Mac-Milla- u's
Magazine suggests flower aud veg-etable gardening as a pleasant and piofit-abl- c
employment for women. He believesthat in such delicate processes as hybridiz-ing, grafting and budding, the skillful fin-gers of women would be of much value.Here in the West, on farms, as the Hart-ford Courant remarks, the best family veg-etable gardens are those managed by thewomen of the household, who likewise domost of the work. It further observesthat market gardens managed by womenwould pay abundantly in the vicinity oflarge cities.
