injury. The fun commenced by
each in turn holding an apple iii
his hand for the other to shoot at
when 6nding their aim quite ac-

head with the above result. The
distance from the marksman to
his mark was about twelve feet.
Kibling was not at all concerned
about his wound. and left the
field Dragging that he was the
best marksman of the two.

TRADE IN AMERICAN WHISKY.

The gradual shrinkage in the price o
American whisky during the last year ha
involved many producers and dealers it
serious loss-~ uun,b~r Of large firms here
and at ,h. West having been forced eith-l
TO suspend or compromise with their ere
dit"ts. The hsavie>r losses hxv" been o,
The fin- g.ade~, or what is known 10 trad'
.s Bourbon" though the distillers aud
tea!er- in common whisky, or h;ghwints
Us they are called ut the West, are "ls'
said to h.v. lost heavily. The diifiru''!
seems To be ,bA. tn. price Of whisky h"'
tal;eu ia 3 grrats' ratio than the pres u
those cereals which form til. basis Of III,
spi,ituous article. Thus. the cost Of manu-
facturing common whisky at present is
said to BE- thirty cents per gallon, to which
mus, lie added the specific tax Of fifty cent:
aud incidental taxes Of fourteen cents, o.
in all ninety four cents, while the sr,rI'' is
selling rs 'ow as eighty six to eighty s~v =
c-u,s in this market, which nets c''a'
;o-s "f nearly ten cents. ..s
The los. on Bourbon whisky is believed
to he much larger. Under these ci'cnm
-,an.,-s it is understood that a strong and
persistent effort will be made vt the en-
suing session Of Congress to Increase the
sr.,iiic tax from so cents, the present rate
t" 81 pei. gallon, with the hope Of advsn'
ciug the price, aud thus reaping large pro
fit. from the accumulated supplies. L.
view OF pas, experience, however. there is
some doubt about the succe<s Of the SCHEME
Events have amply demonstrated 'hs. =
high tax on whisky is equivalent td a
premium on illicit dis,illaticn. The Gov
srn,nent would probably get less revenue
from an increase of The tax. while nn>crn-
puIou- men and corrupt officials would
flourish ~ they did before the rate was
reduced to the present figure. F
An increase Of so cents on th' wills
Ky tax, moreover. means an increase
"f 10 cents per husb-l on grain,
which the West would not relish very
well. The reduction Of the tax from 81
to 50 cepts gallon was opposed by msny
we'll meaning people few years ago, bs
cause they could not possibly see how such
reduction could increase the actual rev-'
nr+ but they were agreeab'y surprised to
ind ,ha. the reduced rate brought three
tunes ~ much money into the Treasury
As the extreme rate. This fact should take
prrcrdsece Of all other considerations y h+u
the matter shall b. brought before CO"
gr-s.., The motive for increasing tn
whisky TAX is not /. saund one, vhetheI
economically or logically considered, apl
ought not, therefore. ,e be heedsd n

A worthy old clergyman in

A worthy old clergyman in a
neighboring town is absept mind
ed. and has a short memory. L
is a common habit with him In
the pulpit to forget something,
and then often sitting down, to
rise up again, and begin his sup.
Elementary remarks with the
expression by the way" A
few Sundays ago he got half way
through a prayer when he hesita'
ted, forgot what he was about
and sat down abruptly withcu'
closing. In a. minute or two ht
rose, and, pointing his fore6nge'
at the amazed congregation, ht
said oh! by the way-amen.'

have very fine, heavy Chester
White sow that has devoured several
pigs Of other sows, and as she was heavy
with pig herself expected that when
did litter she would eat them as fast as
she could get to them. | watched her
closely; she walked up to the first pig
and very deliberately opened her mouth
wide to take it IN. | screamed ut her
and she turned then upon me. con
tinued to meuace her until she had to lay
down to have another pig; | then got
quietly into the pen and as she was nat
urally very gentle | succeeded in getting
the pig to her teats, AID SO stayed with
her constantly, oil the time petting the
sow and as fast rs the pigs came would
divest them of their ENHANCEMENT aud
place them at the teats, which they took
right hold Of, aud before the SOW was
aware of it maternal affection was en-
kindled in her heart for her offspring
She had and saved eight of the finest pigs
| ever Eaw. They are now over two
weeks old, and the mother feels all the
affection necessary for them. 1t is well
to treat sows gently at all times. Then
