WAsHINGroN, Sept l..
An interesting question has arisen in
the Treasury Departmental regard to the
Custom House at Richmond, Va. An
act of Congress. approved February 26th,
1886, appropriates 100 900 dollars for the
enlargement of the building. The sum
dry civil bill, which act was approved
march 3rd, 1885, appropriates 5O,oe0 dol
lars, for the same purpose. The super
vising architect has asked for instruc-
:tions in the matter before preparing
plans and specifications for the building.
He is undecided as to whether he shall
prepare designs for a building to cost
100000 dollars or for building to cost
$4,000 dollars. The question has been
referred to the legal oiiirers of the de-
partment for their opinion. 3

SparrOWs as Food.

The English sparrows are recommended
by the New York Experiment station as
an excellent food. The same recon-.
mendation has been previously and
frequently given in these columns, and
the suggestion has been made that
farmers boys should turn their ready
shotguns upon the too abundant pests
Sparrows arc a regular article OF con-
sumption in France, and travellers III that
country and in Germany may recall the
small, clean, white cloth covered stands
in the markets upon which Ethese birds,
ready trussed for the cook, are exposed
for sale in large numbers. In what shape
they appear on the table, however, no
traveller can probably tell, for French
cookery is we'll known to be a series OF
wonderful transformations. But the
American housewife may serve them as
quail on toast, roasted, fried, stcwed, or
in pies, and in short in any way in which
a most excellent and we'll favored bird
can be cooked. They may be made a
substitute for reed birds, for quail, and
for rail, but the country birds which
feed upon wheat and other grains are
here referred to and not the city birds,
whose unclean food is rather an object
against any other use for them than as
food for cats.-NeW York Times.

Animal COurage.

The sagacious horse soon learns to
despise a timid rider. The confidence of
q horse in a firm rider and his own cour
age is great. as was c~onspicuously
eVinced in the case of an Arab possessed
by the late General Sir Robert r. Gil
lespie, who, being present on the race
course at Calcutta during one of the
great Hindoo festivals, when several
hundred thousand people assembled to
witness all kinds Of shows, was sud-
denly alarmed by the shrieks of the
crowd, and informed that a tigerhad es-
capped from his keeper. Sir Robert i'm
mediately called for his horse, and
grasping a boar spear which was in the
hands of one of the crowd, rode to at
tack his formidable enemy. The tiger
was probably amazed at finding himself
in the middle of such a number of Shrek
ing beings flying from him in all di-
rections; but tie moment he perceived
Sir Robert he crouchcd withthe attitude
of preparing to spring, and that instant
the gallant soldier passed his horse in a
leap over the tigers back and stuck the
spear through his spine. The horse was
q small gray, atterward sent home by
him a present to the Prince Regent
London S0ctetv.

A Sheep %Int0Xicant.

In reference to the statement published
else where in regard to 200 bucks being
poisoned in Eastern Oregon, a gentleman
who has extensive interests in that Sec
ton and who has spent several years on
the sheep ranges there, gives the follow
ing information: There is a low weed
growing on certain ranges, which, when
eaten by the sheep in the fall, proves
fatal. The sheep run on these ranges in
the spring without damage. Then they are
driven to the mountains for the summer,
and when they com back on the range
in the fall this poison weed is ripe and
the seeds have fallen on the ground. The
Sheep feed Oh the weed and probably
the seeds. Presently their ears droop,
they froth at the mouth, and their brain
is affected. After standing for a while
in a dazed condition they start off in
any direction they happen to be headed
and keep going till they walk over a
cliff or into a gully or fall dead. They
caunot be turned or stopped, but walk
off a bluT as composedly as if it was
level ground. So far as I know there
is no cure for sheep which have eaten
this weed. Cattle and horses are not
poisoned by it, Portland Oreg0nian.

A Stable for 2,400 Horses.

The Broadway and Seventh Avenue
Railway company, of New York, has a
stable at Fiftieth street which will cover
the largest number of horses under one
roof in this country, or 2,4OO. The
feed of this regiment of horses consists
of hay, oats and corn. A supply OF
rock salt is also furnished. Each horse
receives about eight pounds of hay a day,
which with 2,400 horses means about
$500 tons a year. This is chopped up
fine by cutters run by an eighty-horse pow
er engine. The storeroom for feed con
tains 12, 900 bushels OF grain and IS
filled up every three months. In mix
ing, about 10, 000 bushels of oats are put
with -, 900 bushels of corn. In a room
where the prepared food is put a horl-
zontal section shows a mass of feed ten
feet deep, consisting of layers of chop
ped hay, ground corn and oats, which
are taken in the proportions desired and
are placed upon the floor, where a con-
slant spray Of water minglcs with it to
enable its ready mixture. About $4,000
pounds of rock salt in the lump are pur-
chased four times a year. Lumps are
placed in the horses managers, where
they can lick it as they wish. Their
own taste for salt is considered the best
auide.

Twins Who Think Alike.

Watkinsville boasts as many pretty
girls as any town in Georgia to its popu-
lation, and none are more popular than
the twin sisters, Misses Sallic and Molile
Woods. These young ladies resemble
each other so nearly that even their in.
innate friends arc often at a loss to tell
"t'other from which," and they have a
good deal of fun at the expense of young
men who mistake which sister they are
speaking to. They are %devotcdly at:
tached to each other and have had
a cross word. In fact not only their
tastes and wishes, but even thoughts
flow in the same channel. 1t is a singu-
lar fact, but nevertheless true, that when
ones mind dwells upon q subject the
others thoughts are exactly the same.
This has been tested time and again by
friends calling one at a time aside and
asking her thoughts, and they are found
to be Identical. -Sarannah MeUs.

Whisky Violence.

The lawlcss violence of the whisky
men has lately shown itself with increas-
ing frequency and bitterness. In Frank
lin county, Ca, the illicit distillers have
isaugurated a literal ''reign of terror"
Ia consequence of information given to
the YER officers their operations
have been interfered with. One young
man named Dyar, who had testified
against the whisky men, was shot dead
