SpRouTING PorAToEs.-Many famers and
gardeners are DESTROYS o having some early
potatoes, and so have Recourse to sprouting
them. This is usually done by covering
them with earth in a box or barrel and
placing them in q warm room. A better
method we nave practiced, by filing the
box or barrel with potatoes, aud then only
covering them with q coating of earth, so
that it shall not be intermixed with the
potatoes. Sprinkle the earth with water,
and set them III 9 warm place, and they
will soon begin to srrout. ahe advantage
of this method is that you can separate ne
potatoes much more easily without break
ing the sprouts than when mingled with
the earth. A warm and moist atmosphere
is generated, which will be all that is nee
essalry in starting the shoots

A Household Elixir adapted

1t would be happy thing for the world if all

too, that this desirable substitution may one
day be accomplished. Certain it is, that the
GREAT VEGETABLE TONIC is gradually displacing

with every passing year. Figures that cannot

Liability of Tobacco and Cigar Man
ufa9turers.


Liability of Tobacco and Cigar Man
ufasturers.
Acting Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Douglass has addressed letter
to Su pervisOr Fulton with reference to
the liabilities of persons and firms who
manufacture tobacco and cigars in the
same building where they have a sales
room, and where they sell. not only their
own products, but also goods manufac-
tured by other persons. lie says both
kinds of business cannot be performed
under one bond and special tax receipt,
neither is one interchangeable with the
other. A manufacturer of tobacco and
snuff may sell the products of his own
manufacture with paying a special tax
as dealer in tobacco; and mauufac-
turer of cigars may sell the cigars of his
own manufacture at the place of manu-
facture without paying special tax as a
dealer; but If manufacturer of tObac-
CO or manufacturer of cigars sell at
the same time the products of another
manufacturer he must pay special tax
as dealer in manufactured tobacco.
When dealer in manufactured tobac-
co has his salesroom in the front part of
place for manufacturing tobacco, snuff
or cigars, or where he uses the first
floor of his building as store or sales
room and the upper part or cellar as
places for manufacturing or making
tobacco or cigars, the goods, whether
tobacco, snuff or cigars, must be packed
and stamped before being removed from
that part of the building where they
are made to the saleSrOOm. When to-
baCcO, snuff or cigars are removed from
the place where they are made and
placed in store or salesroom, where
the occupant does business as dealer,
and they are offered for sale, within the
meaning of the revenue law, and if they
are found there exposed for sale without
the proper stamps affixed they are liable
to seizure; and the person so removing
his goods and offering them for sale
without previously afliXiug and cancel
ling tho proper stamps denoting the
payment of the tax is liable, on cOnvic-
ton, to the penalties imposed by Sec
tions seventy. one and eighty-nine OF
the act of July 20, 1865. Where per.
son manufactures and sells cigars in the
same room, and at the same place sells
CISdls VI otueI persons manufacture,
he must pack and stamp his cigars be-
fore he offers or exposes his cigars for
sale by placing them upon his shelves,
counter, showcase or other conspicuous
place. Manufactured and purchased
goods cannot be stored promiscuously
and offered for sale upon the same
shelves and counters, aud with no
stamps affixed to goods which the per
son thus exposing them has manufac-
tured himself. Goods of his own man
utacture which are cOmmingled by the
manufacturer with goods purchased
without being properly stamped and
cancelled are liable to seizure under
sections 20 and Il, or if cigars under
the provisions of section so, act of July
20, 1865.

pr.,n.,ure Mourning.

A plump, red-faced, loud-talking Wo'
man, evidently from the rural DIS
tricts," stepped into one of our dry
goods stores yesterday, and asked to
see some "monrnin' stuff" The polite
clerk handed down some rolls of differ
emit varieties fashionable for said uses
and, thinking to expediate sale If he
understood the degree of consanguinity
for which the mourning was to be
donned, inquired of her in what
manner the deceased was related to her
This question was too vague for heI
comprehension, and was replied to with
"Hey 7" and an interrogative stare. The
clerk bridged the difficulty with the
brief question, "Who's dead ~ "Why,"
she replied, "fact is, there amt nobody
dead as knows on, but the doctor says
my old man (husbaDd) can't live mOre'n
a week or so at furtherest, an bein' as
twas market day, and | was in town
| thought l had better be gettin' the
funeral fxins', and make 'em up, cause
it's real bother to get 'em made when
there's dead folks in the house, an
hate to borrow. "-Erie Dispatch.

KuouiuG whom to Kick.

The late Colonel McClung of Missis-
sippi once got into a dispute in the
Office of the Prentiss House of Vicks-
burg with rowdy, when, to end the
matter without delay, he took the rowdy
by the map of the neck" led him to
the door, and kicked him into the street
The kickee picked himself up, walked
away, and here the matter ended. Some
weeks after, MeGlung was in New Or
leans, and when walking up st. Charles
street saw the fellow he had kicked ont
Of the Prentiss House kicking a third
party out of drinking saloon. McClung
walked up to hislold acquaintance, once
kicked ,but now, the kicker, and after
scanning him closely, said:
Look here, my fine fellow. are you
not the man kicked out of the Prem
tiss House the other day :"
softly, softly, colonel" replied the
rowdy, taking him by the arm, don't
mention it-f'm the man-but-but you
and know whom to kick"

there, Mr.. Jehn Russell Young, the

believe that hedid this through Others,

said that he knew that, aud he wanted

that lie was interested in the Post, and
that he wished me 10 send the news

THEREsULT In another column we pub
lish the official figures of the recent Penn
syIvania election. Coy Geary's majority is
1896, and that Of Judge Williams s, ,79I.
The vote this year is 70, 692 less than it was
last year for Auditor General The Regis
try Law. no doubt, prevented the Democrats
from polling, as usual, some 5000 or 90.
coo fraudulent votes for their candidates.
This fact, in connection with the smallness
of the vote cast on the 18th inst, warrants
us in saying Had anything near a full vote
been poled this year our candidates would
have received from 25, 900 to 10000 of .
majority. The result then, notwithstand-
Ing our meagre majority, is Of a most graf
flying and encouraging character, and one
over which the Republicans of Pennsylva-
MIA, and of the whole country, have great
cause for rejoicing.
