THE PEDIGREE OF WHEAT.

and then to the still more degenerate grass

100000 WORTH OF CHICKENS.
a Half Bnshei Of Money Paid for a Half
BusheI of Hens.
army and Nary Journal

Army and Nary Journal.
Governor Eli Murray, Of Utah, Tells this
excellent story: / never shall forget the
amount Of money IL cost us 10 keep an old
woman from crying herself TO death. or
course we we're obliged to subsIst of the
country rs as We went along, and We natur-
ally took about the best in sight. One day
we took possession Of a chicken ranch kept
by an old lady, who stood at the gate With .
broom and threatened TO lick all OF Sher-
mans forces If they did not move on. Now
chickens were considered officers meat, and
as we were Internally hungry we went for
those hens pretty lively. When she saw that
her favorite fowls were being caught and
killed she keeled right over and began to cry.
Presently she began 10 scream, and finally
you could hear that woman's voice clear to
Atlanta. sent the surgeons In to quiet her,
but they failed, and then the officers took
turns, but the more attention paid her the
more she howled. then got pretty nervous
over the internal noise, because the whole
army would hear 1t, and they might suppose
somebody was torturing the woman. Finally
Sherman rode up and asked what 1t was all
about. When we told him, he said: "Give
her bushel of Confederate bonds for her
hens aud see II that won't stop her." Acting
on this hint, proceeded TO business. We
had captured a Confederate train the day
before with s4,uOO.0O0 Of Confederate money
and | hunted up the train at once. The
money was worth about two cents on the
dollar. Well, stuffed about half a million
dollars into ali old csrpetsack and marched
| into the house.
Madam" said /, opening the sack, I'l
give you 100000 TO quit this noise" II
was as still death in a minute, and then hel
face expanded In broad smile. laid th,
package Of notes on the table, and never
saw so delighted womau.

A Valuable Invention.

One Of the principal engineering invsn-
lions, noticed Of late In the foreign Journals
a. q device for the instantaneous formation
of steam, which permits of its use at once
in The cylinder Of tho engine. A pump
sends the required quantity Of liquid between
two plate surfaces, which are heated. and
between which there 10 only capillary
space. Tho effect Of this arrangement IL
that the liquid spreading In thin layer
evaporates At once, without going at oil into
the so-cslled spheroidal state, and this steam
acts In the cylinder - frssh-formed steam.
The speed Of the pump Is regulated by the
engine, The pump being connected with the
shaft OF the engine, the arrangements opera
Ting very satisfactorily.
