Glenn, governor of North Carolina, had the backbone to Btlel; through a light to thu tlulsh did not surprise those who knew-Jilm down in the Tar Heel state. Whatuver his faults, a dlsllko for light, ing hod never been ono of-them. When onco w tool; tbn Htand, light or wroiiK, that ho would forco the Southern railway to obey tlio new stutt law limiting thu passenger rate to 2Vi cents a mile, only shunters, po lltlcnl adversaries and corporation fol lowers foretold any outcome but vic tory, at least temporary, over tho rail load Interests and the feder.il courts, Glenn bad fought to get tho Demo emtio nomination for governor. In 1005, forcing the jupport of the party politicians by uiipenllitg directly to the oters In a campaign coverlna oveiy corner of Noith (taiollna, and then ic bad piessed IiIh eniio agalpst tbq Ucpuhllcan uomliieu so onorgeti cally that ho can led the Mute by Ita 7t full Demoeiatlc plurality, baicly los than r0,000, although li iccent yeats theie has been a tendency tuwaidTle publlcanlHin, by reason of tile gi owing lunmifactuilng IntoiestH. Besides, neaily oveiybody In tint statu )iad heaid his piomibo utter the election. "1 have an ambition," ho had said, "to show Noith t'aiollna that a go einor can do something besides par don crltnlnalH. With this assurance, and Knowing his fighting Instincts, people aiound littn wero expecting "something to drop" at thu llrst opportunity. That opportunity eui'uo when thu Southern railway lcfuscd In obey tho latoaw nccauso of It, whetlier bis sldoNs good or bad, his arguments sound or faulty. Glenn of Noith Caiolina has GOV. R. B. GLENN. (Nprih Carolina Executive Who Won Rate Fight with Railroad,) come to bo ono of thu most talked about men In the United States. Long beforo Glenn got to. bo gov ernor, ho leamod how to light. As ho grew older, however, his combative In stincts wuio limited to tlio couit loom and the campaign. In both bo lias been rarely a loser. Incidentally, ho seived his present foe, tho Southern railway, as an nsslst unt division counsel less, than fho years ago, lie alpo lepresented thu Westurn Union Telegraph company nml other corporations. It was no se cret at tho tlmu of his election, that the Southern nnd tho rest of tho cor porations rejoiced over his success, They thought he was on their aide. ' Gov. Glenn was born in HocUlnghani county, mi Aug. 11, 18!H, Ills father, a farmer, well-to do ami sprung fiom an old family, was ldUed in thu civil war. Ills mother, who vfas a woman of both culture and common uenso, mort gaged tho farm to send bur ton to col- lego. Ho attended a high school at Leaks vlllo and went to Duvldbon college. After that he tool; Hie law com so at tho University of Vligjnlii. Fiom thu time of his maiiiago to MJss- Nlun UeijdeileK in Knoxvllio, Tenn., on .Ian.

"No "idea, el) 7 Well, sir, u good, healthy hen not speaking of nny particular breed, but Just lieu a good, healthy hen does not fulfill her destiny until she has turned out COO eggs fifty doon. That's what Nature has fitted a lien to do in tlio way of eggs, and sho gives her eight years to do It in," says a wrltor in Ilrownlng's Mngazlno. "Tho llrst year of her ogg-produc-lug llfo a hen lays only 20 eggf, but In tho three succeeding years sho rolls up tho scoro ot 370. This leaves only 230 that sho must glvo that many cackles for in tho remaining ycais that Rho must stand on duty- in that line, and sho divides the task among thoso four years so that In tlio eighth year sho lays only 20 eggs again tho number sho started in with. Then sho has ended lujr career as an egg pro ducer, and too often, it she is in tho hands of a thrifty owner, begins nn otlior cateor, short and doluslvo this lime as tlio summer-boarder spring eblckon.

Wrinkled ggs hold roosters In embryo. A pro toplastio hen lurks In the egg with a smooth-end shell. "Thoro is water a-plenty in an egg, but no mora air than there Is in a hnnimor. So long as you can keep air out of your egg It will remain swoot and fresh, but no ono has ever suc ceeded In keoping it out by fair meana more than six days, Tho Insid ious oxygen Is bound to find Its way through an egg-shoU's pores, and tho only way to sayo that ogg is to cat It.

When sho clambered on tho steam cars for tho llrst tlmo sho was much elicited and her questions fair ly tumbled over themselves.

"Tell libit to go back, papa; ho must go back," sho shouted. Papa looked at lior In amazement. "Who must go back, Dorothy?" ho nskod. "Why, tho man who steers," she said breathlessly.

Another wonderful thing about the letter wiltera, especially the femulo letter writers, of this engaging peijod, Is tho wealth of hypoibolo in which thoy rioted. Nothing is told In plain teiins. Tropes, metaphois nnd similes udoin ovory pago, and tho supreme elegance, of tho language Is rivaled duly by the eluslvoness of tho Idea, which Is lost In an eddy of words. MnnlaEO Is"ilways alluded to us tho "hymenlai toich," or tho "hymental ehnln," or "hymenlai, emancipation fiom parental care," when Mrs. Mon tagu writes to Mr. Gilbert West, that "inliaclo of thp Moral World," to con dolo with liis gout, she laments that Ills "wilting hand, llrst dedicated to tho Mmjos, then with mature Judg ment consecrated to tho Nympbus of Sdlymn, should bo led captlvo by the cruel foe." If Mr. West chanced not 'to know-who or what tho .Nymphs of Solyma wore, ho had the Intelligent pleasure of finding out. Miss Seward describes Mrs. Tlgho's sprightly phainis as "Abnlnn inspiration ndded to tho costus of Venus;" and speaks of tho elderly "ladles of Langollen" as "In all but the voluptuous soiibo, Ar midas of Its bowers." Dueling 1b to her "tho murderous punctilio of LuclfeMau honor." A Scotch gentleman who wiltos verse Is "a "Cambrian Orpheus;" a Lichfield gontlemnn who sketches Is "our Lichfield Clutido;" and a budding clerical writer Is "our, young sacet do tal MarcOllus."

"How can you find him, Jim," asked tho ownor, "whon tho best men iu town ain't been able to git a traco of blm?" "Waal," rejoin ed Jim, "I kin try, can't I? How much is It worth to ye?" Tho owner "al lowed" it was wortli a dollar. All right," said Jim, aud walked away on his Bearch. To tho sui prise of all, ho returned In less than an hour, lead ing tho missing donkey by a ropo hal ter. "Sakes allvo!" exclaimed Mul llns, as ho paid ovor tho dollar, "how iu the world did yo find him so quick, Jim?" "Waul," returned Jim, "I thought to myself, 'now, if 1 was a Jackass whore would 1 go?' And so I went there, und he had." Wooden Flywheel.
