ly entitled to by the premium list. If the
list was not properly arranged the fault
lay with the executive committee, and t
could be corrected before the next fair.
He was not sure, however, that it would
be wise to exclude small birds from the
premium list or even materially reduce
the premiums. He knew there were many
people-especially ladies and children who
visited the fair mainly to see the bantam S
and pigeons.
Mr.. Stober held that the object of a
poultry show should be to improve the
breed of fowls. He had bred Asiatics, but
now breeds Hamburgs and Leghorns,
which he deems far better
Mr.. J. B. Long had bred Leghorns and
Plymouth Rocks, having good success
with all of them. He had recently secured
a trio of Black Cochins Since the 18th of
January they have laid 60 eggs, which was
better showing than he had had from
any other fowls.
Mr. Stober said that he had seven silver
spangled Hamburg that had laid last week
forty-two eggs, and week before last thir-
ty-two eggs.
A rambling discussion of some length
took place on the relative merits of large
and small birds, when finally a motion was
made to adjourn.
The following question was offered for
discussion at next meeting.
is there any way to reduce the flying
propensities of Leghorns @

A Pen Picture ofDe Lessons.

Troy Budget
The noble Viscount Ferdinand de
Lesseps was pouring his torrent of speech
straight at the head of Gen. Millen; it
continued for ten minutes, and when he
finally paused, not for breath, and not
evidently because his pond had run out,
but probably to give his tired arms a
rest after the violent and wild gesticu-
lating exercise to which they had been
subjected, and when his features and
arms had finally lapsed from animated
galvanic convulsiOn back to comparative
calm, we mad time to note that his eyes
are black rather than gray, and yet not
deep black. Considering that he is in
the 10th year of his age, he may be set
down as a well-preserved man. He was
born at Versailles, France, Nov. -,
1905. He has yet considerable vigor
and life left in him Notwithstanding his
old age. His virility may be judged
from the fact that Mme. de LeSseps, who
speaks very good English, boasts that
she was not married to de Lesseps until
he was sixty years old, and that she has
had seven children in eight years, of
whom two were twins. Nine. de Jesseps
is of Creole origin She is the daughter
of III. de Bragass, who was a judge in
Mauritius, or, the isle of France, an
English island in the Indian Ocean,
where she was born. She was 81 years
old in 1869, when de Lesseps married
her on his return from Palestine. AS
saw her later at Panama and elsewhere
on the Isthmus, should say she was
when younger, a Creole beauty, of the
type of that race, with magnificent black
veivety eyes, which constitute the
brightest feature of her face.

The late report OF an outbreak of
yellow fever at the South, which, hap
PLY, was false, calls to mind q circum-
stance of historic interest il connection
with the outbreak of this dread pesti-
lence in Philadelphia in 1879. And, by
the way, the circumstance exhibits the
inability of the medical profession to
deal with that disease Ia those days in
even s. stronger light than at present,
which is saying good deal. The noto1i-
GUS English radical, Will am Cobbett,
was then editing and publishing jour-
nal in Philadelphia, which he called
Porcupine's Gazette. It was q keen,
cutting and scurrilous sheet. No ore
could even meet Cohbett in fair pans
phleteering combat. If his opponent
threw mud at him, he slung it back
with interest," but his power lay in the
fact that he argued while he re-
viled, while they reviled with
out arguing. Among others whom
he attacked was the celebrated DR.: Ben
jsmin Rush. Cobbett ridiculed him as
DR.. Sangrado, quack who had MUIR
dered his thousands by his specific of
bleeding during the continuance of the
fearful epidemic. Rush brought an ac-
tion against him, and at the end of the
year 1893 obtained damages of $4,000.
This finished Cobbett's career in the
United States; he sailed for England in
June 1900; and there subsequently ran
q political career almost unexampled in
the annals of any country. 1t is safe to
say, hOwevir, that even s jury of physi-
oians who had matricuiated in his own
college would not at this day give Dr..
Rushsuch q verdict, simply for the rea-
son that bis murdsrous tTeatment of that
date was all that Cohbett charged it to
be, that is quackery of the grossest de-
scription.

You Know Her.

Miss Corisande was born only two
years earlier than her brother Tom.
When Tom was only ten years old she
gloried because she was twelve; when
Tom was known to be fourteen she con-
fessed to be sweet sixteen. When Tom
proudly boasted of eighteen, she timidly
acknowledged herself past nineteen.
When he came home from college with
a mustache and a vote, and had party
in honor of his twenty-frst birthday,
she said toher friends: " What bOyish
fellow he is; who would think he was
a year younger than II" And when
Tom declared he was old enough to get
married, she said to gentleman friend:
"Do you know feel savagely jealous
to think of Tom getting married. But
then suppose twins are always more
attached to each other than brothers and
sisters" And two years later, at Toms
wedding, she said with girlish vivacity
to the wedding guests, 'tDear old Tom,
to see him married tonight, and then
to think how, when he was only five
years old, they brought him to see me,
his baby sister. l wonder if he thinks
of it tonight" You have met Miss
Corisande, probably. She lives in your

dHE nail mills in the United States,
under the control of the Western Nail
Association, at Pittsburg, sgreed to shut
down on the 10Th of this month for a
fortnight in order, if possible, to keep
uPthe price of nails. By that time, it
is thought, production will be so less
ened as to increase the demand. This
is on the principle that scarcity contri-
butes to the welfare of mankind. and
that in the abundance of things there is
poverty; on the principle that the dear
er the bread the greater the gain to the
Ommunity. But we have now a great
plenty of that which makes bread. We
consequently suggest to the farmer thst
ne had better stop the production for
six months or 60, in order to make bread
dearer. If, on the other hand, the cons
mon sense theory prevails, namely, that
the riches of men consist in the abun-
dance OF things, we cannot see how the
community will be made any richer b
making rails scarcer. Certainly fthe
men who make the nails will not be. nor
yet. the men that use them. Those who
have bought nails for a rise may make
money, or be saved from loss. But they
are comparatively small section of the
pnblic, while the miner, the Dail-msker,
the farmer, the manufacturer and the
merchant will all lose what this small
section makes. If this is sensible or
honest political economy we fail to see
