An intelligent farmer living in Des Moines 
Comity has invented a henopbone, modeled on 
sthe pnLaoiple of the telephone, by which one re- 
lliahle did hen occupying a central office in the 
Remrery, aits on all the nests about the estab¬ 
lishment, lloaving the other fowls free to lay, 
Bcratoh, aud cackle. As fast as a new neBt con¬ 
tains dihe full complement of eggs, it is con¬ 
nected with the central offioo by a copper wire, 
and the business is settled. The only trouble 
with the machine is that it Bits so hard it hatches 
out the porcelain nest eggs along with the oth¬ 
ers, so that one chick in every nest is born with 
glass eyes, and the farmer has to buy and train 
a dog to lead it arcund. This makes it expen¬ 
sive .—Burlington Hawkeye.

An Important Function Stimulated. 
The kidneys exercise most Important functions, 
which are so wearisome that they tax to the ut¬ 
most the strength and endurance of these busy 
little organs. Every breath, every pulsation of 
the heart, every movement of a limb, every 
thought, makes waste and necessitates the devel¬ 
opment of new atoms. The used up particles In 
the blood are silted from It and dissolved In a 
watery fluid by the kidneys, which then dis¬ 
charge this fluid into the bladder. A train of 
disasters to the system would rollow tr these 
“ashes,” so to speak, were not thoroughly strain¬ 
ed off and discharged. This Is the case when the 
kidneys become Inactive. Hostotter’s Htomach 
Bitters, by restoring their activity, not only keeps 
open a moor Important outlet for Impurities, 
but prevents diseases of the kidneys themselves, 
which when Inert become liable to fall a prey to 
diabetes, Bright’s disease, nephlsttsalbumenurla, 
and other maladies specially Incident to them, 
which, although not specially rapid In their pro¬ 
gression, are particularly obstinate and fatal.
