A Telegraphic Joke.

washington Critic.
The wires were down between Washington and
New York yesterday, owing to the gale of
Wednesday night, and the United Press opera
tor was having hard time getting the news.
''This is rough" he said, kicking in the ribs of
Leyden jar
Whats the row~ asked the telegraph editor
''Why, we've got to get New York by way of
Cleveland
"Can you get it that way?"
''Oh yes, we can, but it's mighty uncertain. :"
That's just what good many Democrats
think" remarked the editor as he crept behind a
paste pot and watched the operator cropping
around to get hold.

Sympathy for the Condemned Anarchists.

Rev. o. G. McCulloch, at the conclusion of his
sermon at Plymouth Church, yesterday morn
ing, stated that matter had been preying upon
his mind for some time that he desired to ex-
press his views about. although he supposed that
no member of his congregation would approve
what he would say. Continuing, he expressed
the opinion that the trial of the Chicago Anarch-
lists had not been fairly conducted and that
their conviction was wholly unwarranted He
felt moved to publicly state that he believed the
prisoners were entitled to q new trial, and he
hoped it would be accorded them.

Tie police say they have never seen Sunday
so quiet and orderly. 1t was not until late at
night that en- arrest of any kind was reported,
and this did not grow out of drinking. No drunk
en- men were seen on the streets, although the
very thirsty found means to quench It 1t re-
quired great deal of ingenuity though, among
the better class, while the disreptuable drinkers
in case or two purchased beer by the keg and
drunk it in stables and cut ofthe way sheds.
But there was less Sunday drinking than at any
time for years.

First Pastor-I don't believe in them. It is
wrong in principle and is an extravaganza a
church should not sanction.
Second Ditto-Thats what thought, my dear
brother, but it got so in my church that we were
compelled either to pay the people to stay ard
listen to volunteer choir or pay a choir to sing;
so, on the score of economy. we concluded to
hire choir instead of congregation.

AN OLD STORY REvAMPED.
Tho Venerable Woman Who Traded One
Egg to Great Advantage.

Egg to Great Advantage.
Speaking of close competition, the his
torian is reminded Of a case out west that
probably came as near bringing business
down to hardpan as anything that Massachu-
sets dealers are familiar with. Two rival
general dealers struck new town with
their commercial curiosity shops the same
day, and each set about running out the
other. They dealt in every sort of goods
needed to supply the wants Of a primitive
community. One Of the dealers, in order to
completely put his competitor to rout, an
nounced that he would give free drink Of
whisky with every purchase, and the bust
ness came pouring in.
There hove upon tie dealers vision one
afternoon venerable female, who proceeded
to unroll from her pocket-handkerchief, with
much impressiveness, single hens egg,
which she laid upon tho counter
"What are you givin' for eggs 2" said she.
twenty-five cents dozen"
"Well, that's little over two cents apiece"
said tho old woman. "What are you gittin'
for darnin' needles 2"
"a cent apiece"
"Three for two cents, suppose Well, take
this ere egg and give me three darnin'
needles"
The dealer agreed 10 the bargain and
passed her over the darning needles.
"Now for the drink" said the old woman
The bottle and tumbler were set out and
tho old woman poured liberal portion into
her glass.
Il say, stranger" said she, II don't like
whisky nohow without an egg in it. Break
one in, viii YOU"
The dealer shrugged his shoulders ana
broke into the womans glass the egg that he
had just traded" for. And behold, as he
did so two yolks fell into the whisky
"Eooray!" said the old woman, as she
drank off the contents of the glass. Its
double-yolked egg. Now, give me three
more darnin' needles, please, for the extra
yolk!"
The dealer passed out the three extra
needles with sublime resignation, and the old
woman sat around as if she were waiting for
something.
Il say, stranger she said, finally, 9you
don't call them three last darnin' needles
new trade, DO ye!"
The dealer reached for his gun and tia
woman disappeared through the door.-9os,

Hot water is the best thing that can be used
to heal sprain or bruise. The wounded part

commended by DR.. Salmon, for pre-
venting this destructive disease, that
annually carries off so many thou
sand fowls:
A very cheap and most effective

adding three pounds of sulphuric
acid to forty gallons of water Cor
one fourth pound of sulphuric acid
to three and half gallons of water)
mixing evenly by agitating or stir
ing. This may be applied to small
surfaces with small watering pot,
or to larger ground with barrel
mounted on wheels and arranged
like q street sprinkler. In disinfect-
ing poultry houses, the manure must
be first thoroughly scraped up and
removed beyond the reach of the
fowls; slight sprinkling is not suf-
ficient, but the floors and roosts and
grounds must be thoroughly satuat-
ed with the solution, so that no par
ticle of dust, however small, escapes
being wet. 1t is impossible to thor
oughly disinfect if the manure is not
removed from the roosting places.
Sulphuric acid is very cheap, cost
ing at retail not more than % cents
pound, and at wholesale but OF G
cents. The barrel of disinfecting
solution can therefore be made for
less than 81, and should be thorough.

too, that sulphurc acid is a danger

ted, it destroys clothing and cauter
