WHOSE INJURED.
nlthe Daily EAGLE

To the Editor OF the Daily EAGLE.
In the EAGLE Of yesterday you published
an item from the New York Sun in which
that paper SAYS our consuls abroad have
called attention to the fact that spectators
in whea. in this country are injuring the ex-
port trade and working great injury TO the
country. There is nothing remarkable in
the fact that our consuls abroad assume to
dictate TO this American people a policy to
be pursued by the business men of the
local politicians, when they are elected 10
an Office of importance assume a great i'm
por.ance in the business transactions of the
country, when the fact is that they simply
do not know what they are talking about.
The editor of the New York Sua says this
speculation in wheat has intcrfered with its
export and thereby injured the country to
the extent of millions of dollars. Now if
the spectators in wheat have stopped Its
export, they could only have done SO by
keeping the price above the export price.
lators in wheat the. farmers of this country
have received say ten cents per bushel more
Than export price, in the name of common
sense how does that injure the country. Ii
is a fact that the 5000, 900 bushels of wheat
now constituting the visible supply, will not
bring the spectators near the amount of
money which they paid the farmer for the
same wheat. But they intend to hold it un-
til foreign nations come to time and pay
reasonable price. That is what they are
kicking about, and the New York Sun is
helping them 10 kick If all the wheat held
by spectators in this country had been
on tie foreign market, wheat would not be
worth 40 cents per bushel in New York to-
day. The Sun thinks that would be II great
blessing to the country. This same editor of
the Sun, when Republican secretary of the
treasury, proposed TO substitute sill
yer money for the postal currency
of the country, gave his learned
opinion that such transaction was simply
impossible, that the government could not
get the silver coin. He tried to be funny,
and said the secretary of the treasury was
going out with tea pot fall of silver to re-
deem millions Of postal money. Inside of
four years this same editor of the sun was
writing learned articles against the coinage
of silver, that the super abundance of silver
would drive the other money all out of the
country. He knew about as much about
finance then. as he now knows about the
wheat trade. FARMER DcoLITTLE.

Chic. Chic, Chic .

There are a good many young
chickens peeping and running about
in the county now. 1t is scarcely
necessary to say they need to be
looked after pretty carefully such
weather as this. Cold. blustry. and
rainy weather is the worst kind for
young chicks. They must therefore
be protected against the vicissit, des
of our April climate. The coops
must be placed in as sheltered places
as can be found, on dry. warm
ground. The broods must be fed
with care, not too much at ence, and
as often as four or five times a day.
The first feed in the morning should
be given early, before SUM Sc, if pos
sible The little things are always
hungry after the nights fast and
start to hunt food as soon as they
can see, if they can get out of the
coop. If they cannot get out, they
scratch and yell and tumble about,
to their advantage. Feed early in
the morning. The seed may be
sealded and slightly warm, but not
hot or sloppy, a moderately dry,
crumbly consistence is about right :;
give no more at once than will be
eaten up clean. Have good. roomy
ceOps keep them clean and sweet,
and confine the hens in them for
the first two or three weeks, and
don't let the dams eat too much of
the feed. The chickens are worth
to, therefore look after
them.

How to Get Early Potatoes.

The best plan we have ever tried
to get ''new potatoes" few days in
advance of the main crop, and TO be
first in the race-which is one of the
many pleasures in gardening-is to
select medium-sized potatoes, and
put them in box OF Sphagnum
Moss, or. If that cannot be obtained,
saw-duSt or common garden soil will
answer place the potato seed end
up, and fill between -hem and under
them with the moss, leaving only
the tip of the potato exposed. Thi.
will cause the leading eye to sprout.
which takes most of the nOurishment
from the tuber, and consequently IS
much stronger than it would be il
the other eyes produced plants
These should be started about a
month earlier than the usual plant
ing time. The boxes of tubers may
be placed in hot-bed, or in any
warm room, giving them all tha light
possible. When the time has srriv-
ed for planting out, remeve the tu-
bers as carefully as possible, in order
not to injurs the roots, and plant in
well-prepared soil. Remove any ex-
cept the main shoot, should any ap-
pear.
BY this method potatoes may be
had from one to two weeks earlier
than by the ordinary method Of
plating.

Kills ffis Cousin.

AsHEvmLE, n. c.. April 14.-Jas.
Green, 4 white youth, seventeen
years old, was arrested to-day in
Mitchell county, charged with the
murder of his cousin, Joseph Green
a boy OF sixteen. Both ofthese BOYS
were counting Janette d. Birdsall,
pretty and interesting daughter of
a well-to-do farmer OF that county.
The young lady received the atten-
tions of both of the cousins with
evident marks of favor. James usu-
ally avoided visiting her when his
rival was expected. On Sunday
evening James met Janette at church
for the purpose of escorting her
home On the road the couple met
Joseph, who stepped up to the girl
and without apology or ceremony,
pat his arm through hers and walk
ed off, raising his hat to the disap-
pointed and chagrined rival. After
a moments hesitation James drew
small Colts revolver and fired. Jo-
seph fell dead at the feet Of his sweet
heart. Both young men had here
tofore borne excellent characters.

UnleaveDcd Bread.

In Cincinnati is the only Mates
steam bakery in that part of the
country, and tn. latest and most
improved machinery is used. The
main feature is the rapidity with
which the dough is handled and
with this improved machinery it is
scarcely touched 10y the hands of
the workmsn. The process is very
simple. Exact proportions of -four
and waite: are weighed out and i'm
mediately put into the kneading ma
chine, which consist. of a heavy
iron trough and huge, fiuted iron
cylinder, weighing 700 pounds. The
cylinder moves forward and baak-
ward over the dough. thoroughly
kneading it in less than five min
utes. The dough is then transferred
to the first rolling machine, which
rolls it out into a smooth sheet
about half an inch thick. 1t is then
passed through a second machine
and rolled to proper thickness for
the cutter" This last machine cuts
the dough into uniform sheets 6xS
inches, and stamps the holes into it.
From the cutter it is passed direct
ly into the oven, where it is baked
and finished in one minute and
quarter. The time required to make
the matzos, from the time the flour
is taken from the barrel until it is
taken from the oven is less than fif-
teen minutes, so :hat the dough has
not time to become sour. The ma
chinery and ovens are used for this
purpose only, and consequently are
idle for nine months in the year.
The firm will make 100000 pounds
of matzos this year. They ship it
to Nebraska, Colorado. and all over
the South.

Thompson, saying

at il and tLen, shaking his head
he said in very lunny tone.

juice and substituted more popu-

Fear as an Ally of Disease.

While the plague was raging in
Buenos Ayres the grave diggers bore
charmed lives. OF the 800 men 20
employed not one died of the disease.
II has often been noticed that during
the prevalence of pestilental diseases,
physicians, undertakes, nurses and
grave diggers, whose business COM
PEELED constant liability to infection,
have usually escaped in a far greater
ratio than their numbers would war
rant. The charm" of this inmuni-
ty from the prevailing scourgs is
very simple. They are not scared.
They are positive rs to the dieease,
and repel its attacks. Fear is a
great ally of death. Whoever is
afraid OF disease is in a negative po-
sition, and really invites its ap-
proach. And thus it is the world
over. The brave die but once, while
towards die many times. Much
alarm exists in every
community in regard to many dis
eases. We are, it is true, all liable
to sickness and death. But if we are
sober, cleanly, and brave of heart, we
need have no fear of disease of body
or mind.

A Hole in the Sky.

A tall bronze-faced man, with the
easy, of. hand manners and the ex-
pectorating ability OF a citizen of the
far West, sat in the smoking car of an
outgoing train on the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy railroad as it
whirled through the outskirts of the
city. His satchel on ,he seat beside
him bore the legend, "T. z. Will
liams, Small Hopes, Arizona" He
was returning home after a week s
investigation of the ways of big
city. While seeing the sights he
bad met with one adventure which
puzzled him exceedingly. He told
of it in Il free, careless manner. One
morning he had started out to do a
little prospecting" as he called it.
Having served in the war. the pano-
rama of the battle of Gettysburg nat
urally excited his attention. He
bought a ticket, then he hired an
opera glass, leaving a deposit of So
While enjoying prolonged squint
through the glasses he was startled
by hearing a sweet voice at his
elbow.
Isn't it lovely ?" said the fair
one How | wish | had brought
my opera glasses. May | use yours
minute?"
With the gallantry of the true son
of the boundless West, Mr.
Williams offered his glasses.
"Oh, thanks how kind you are"
she said, and a pair of big brown
eyes met his ardent glance.
For a moment the lady gazed
through the glasses, and Mr.. Will
liams stood by in silent rapture.
Great Scot look at that" sud
denly exclaimed a young man at his
elbow.
Mr.. Williams turned quickly and
gazed intently at spot in the paint
ed sky, which the young man was
pointing out After fully satisfying
himself that there was nothing re-
narkable about a spot on a piece Of
canvas, he turned back fully pre-
pared to address the fair borrower
of his opera glasses. She was gone.
This surprised him a little, but he
waited for her return. The young
man who had discovered the inter-
esting spot on the sky qad also dis
appeared. After waiting half an
hour, Mr.. Williams decided to 90 to
his hotel. He concluded he would
not say anything about the glasses
at the box office. He remained in
the city several days, and although he
kept a sharp lookout, he failed to
meet his fair acquaintance.
Pears to me Chicago wimen is
purity NICE" he remarked, reflective
ly, as he hoisted his feet onto the
back of the seat just in front of him,
" but, blast me. if they amt darn
forgetful" "
1t has since transpired that the
gentleman from small hopes is not
the only one who has met the forget
ful woman at the panorama.
