A BIG SECRET.
The Treasury Department Wants 10 Know
About washing stamps.

About washing stamps.
IL appears now that the arrest Of the waste
| paper man Davis is of mere importance to the
Treasury Department than was at first supposed
II has been the subject OF much comment ai
Washington that the sales of Internal Revenue
stamps this year have dropped of so consider.
ably that the cause OF this reduction was sought
for by the detectives without avail for long
time; at last IL was surmised that old stamps
had been placed on the market, but where and
how they could not tell.
Special instructions were issued by the seere-
tary OF the Treasury to all internal revenue col
lectors to be
ON THE our WYE
for washed stamps, and particularly in New Or
leans to look ont for them. After long search,
Special Agent Tompkins found Davis, entered
into negotiations with him and purchased some
2o00 from him. After the arrest the officer en-
deavored, through the fundamentally Of a search
warrant,

ETC., by which the cancellation was effected aud
the stamp thoroughly cleansed
The Treasury Department 10 exceedingly exer-
cised over Davis process, and it is looked upon
as being remarkable one, rs the color Of the
stamp is not changed in the least and apparently
they are good as new.
The officer when he searched Davis store
FOUND NOTHING
to show what his process was. All that Was re-
covered was an old receipt boek with some OF
the stamps in and some out. There was q
thought ut one time that Davis would 'sqnesl,"
and to lessen his punishment tell all he knew
about the business, but now 1t seems he don't
talk and the treasury agents are at loss how to
get at his "trick.'

Breaking up Broody Hens.

There is but one way to break up
broody hens, successfully = especially
that persistent class, the Asiatics, as
they make up their minds that 1t is time
for them to try the Matching process, for
change, when the end of their second
litter of eggs come about.
Novices in fowl raising resort to all
sorts of methods to effect this, and most
of the plans adopted by amateurs are
either futile, cruel, or meaningless
Ducking hens in cold water, tying them
by the legs to a stake in the open air or
sun, shutting them in darkened, al
most air-tight barrel, twitching them
rudely off their nests and throwing
them to the ground dozen times in
day-all this nonsense is of no avail
whatever.
The better way, as a general rule, is
to permit the broody hen to sit few
days, say for week or two, on glass or
wooden eggs, and then remove her from
the nest altogether. Keep her away
from her former laying place few days,
and she will give it up. She needs a
little rest. Let her have it. She will
shortly go to laying again. and forget
the broody fever.
But if we determine not to allow her
to sit at all, then it is necessary that she
be watched carefully and the very first
night she is found lingering upon the
old laying-nest, take her away from it
entirely, before the sitting fever has time
fairly to take hold of her.
Place her in small coop by herself,
upon the ground, and keep her confined
for three or four days. If you have
two or three birds thus disposed, put
them altogether in the closed coop, and
introduce vigorous young cock to the
little company. In less than week, if
they are fed lightly they will get over
the sitting inclination, and give you no
further trouble.-The Poultry World.
