virginia's Novel Liquor.Tax Collector


The State of Virginia has adopted a
machine to make barkeepers and liquor
sellers honest and to prevent their evad-
ing the revenue tax Oh liquor sold at re-
tail. The apparatus which now must
by law decorate ever Virginian bar is
simply registering dial combined with
mechanism which whenever the index is
moved ahead sounds a bell. The dial
indicates up to Il million drinks. Tam
pering with it is prevented by the Pc
culiar seal, which consists of a miniature
tongue of brass that perforates bit of
paper carefully fitted into the lock.
After this tongue is in place, the paper
bears only single perforation. Any
attempt to violate the seal will result in
defacing and tearing the paper, and this
will be sufficient to subject the saloon
keeper to prosecution under the law.
Two results have followed the intro
duction of the invention which might
easily have been anticipated. The first
is. that the liquor men have raised the
price of their beverages 80 as to cover
the amount which they are now obliged
to pay in taxes, and the second is the
production of devices to swindle the
machine. Already one enterprising in
dividual has begun using a bell behind
his counter having precisely the same
sound of the gong in the machine. He
went through all the motions of oper.
ating the latter, and the false bell sound
ing made it seem as if the drink had
been properly registered =. Scientific

A Hard Head.

When the present illustrious Captain
Riggan was a mere boy, his father owned
a merino ram that was known far and
near for the excessive hardness of his
skull, and the terribleness of his butting
qualities. Captain Riggan took butting
lessons for six years under that ram.
And never did tutor turn forth more
finished pupil. But the scholar at
length proved too much for the master.
Young Riggan was in the habit OF
going off to meadow every morning
and having "set to" with that old
ram. One day he went out, as usual,
and, seeing large crack in the meadow
fence, he stuck his head through, and
bleated. That made the old ram ram
functions, and he fetched butt at Rig
gan's head. But Riggan quickly drew
back, and let the ram ram his rampant
head ram up against the fence.
Young Riggan was delighted with the
trick, and repeated it several times, to
the great discontinue of his ramship.
But it happened that the crack in the
fence was not the same size all the way
along the panel, and so, one time, Rig
gan got his head through and wriggled
his neck into narrower part of the
crack before he bleated. The fierce
merino came charging down upon him,
and Riggan tried to withdraw his crani-
UNI as he had done before. But his
Uranium wouldn't withdraw. The old
ram had him dead.
There was no one stirring in that part
of the farm. 1t was about ten o'clock in
the morning, and from that hour till
four in the afternoon not a sound broke
the monotonous stiffness of the lonely
spot except the regularly repeated blows
of the rams skull against Riggan's.
Then there was silence.
No one at the house knew where the
youngster was. They missed him at
dinner, and searched for him everywhere
until supper time. Then they found
him. He was lying with his head still
through the crack of the fence-and
sound asleep! Just ON the other side of
the fence lay the old merino ram-stone
dead He had butted himself to death
against that adamantine skull.

Altar VIVA Hensv.

The senses Of the bees are very acute.
BY the aid Of smell they aud the sweet.
est flowers. and thus the delicate clean.
liness Of the hive 10 preserved. While
certain odors are very attractive Ia
them. others arc excessively repugnant.
This fondness for certain perfumes ID
used by bee-hunters In discovering the
nests Of wild bees. When wild bees arc
seen lettering around, an upright stake,
to the upper end Of which ia attached a
small horizontal platform, IL planted
somewhere near ON this platform ID
PLACED bit Of full comb. and in front Of
ii is suspended an open phisl Of annis,
an odor they particularly love. To OK.
pedite matters, one Of the strange bees
is frequently captured by inverting
over the flower from which II is sucking
small cylinder with glass over the end.
The bee flies up to the lighted end the
lower part ia covered with the hand, and
the cylinder placed over the honey.comb
on the platform. As soon M the cylinder
ia darkened, by putting something over
the top, the bee goes down to the honey
and fills its honey-sac. When fully
gorged, it is released bee, with its
honey.sac filed, always makes "bee.
line" for the hive. When the load of
stolen sweets is deposited, the little pill.
ferer comes back-usually with COM
panion-euided by the scent Of annis /;
both alight on the platform, and are
held in mild captivity till they are filed.
One is then released, the direction it
takes is noted /; the stake is then carried
to some distance TO the right or the Left
Of its former position, and the second
bee released. The point at which the
two "bee-hnes cut each other is the
position Of the nest. -Scri6ner's Maya

Nothing New Uuder the Sun.

1t is little curious to find that the
last astronomical discovery of the Marian
moons was anticipated in Dean Swift's
Gulliver, and that his cosmogomy OF
Laputa recorded the very novelty in Mars
which science has now affirmed. Nor is
it less striking to find that the telephone,
whose wonders are so circulated to-day
