A Chick IN hts Stomach.

A farmer living in the town of Norway,
of the name of Hans Hansen, was out pick
ing up the hens eggs on Tuesday evening,
July 8, says Racine, Wis, special, when
he placed small bantam's egg in his mouth,
which he accidentally swallowed.
1t was nearly week after when he felt
something pressing upon the inside of his
stomach and heard clucking noise.
He Immediately went to doctor in the
neghborhood, who went at him with a
stomach pump and soon relieved him of
live bantam chicken, which had presumably
been hatched by the natural heat, inside of
his body
The egg was, no doubt, about four-hiths
hatched when it entered his stomach.
This is probably one Of the strangest
cases on record.
1t was told by reliable farmer from that
section of the country.-Nelo York Morn
ing Journal.
Now where is the man with the snake

Some Extracts.

Because the Democratic party would re-
form the tariff, correct its inequalities and
tax more lightly articles of necessity, and
put upon the free list such articles as are
needed to give impulse to American manu-
features and increase, consequently, Ameri-
can sales abroad, it is called Free Trade
party. See what leading apostles of the
Republican party have said in the past:
Some excessive duties remain on the
statute book some dutiable articles should
be on the free list, and some of the proyi-
sions of the tariff have become obsolete
JOHN 4. KasSOH, Of I0lca, 1882.
Such changes should be made in the pres
ent tariff system of taxation as shall relieve
every burdened industry, and enable our
artisans and manufactures TO compete sue
cessfully with those of other lands Ches-
ter 4. Arthur'S Letter Of AcceptaHce, 1880.
Republicans Vote for Free Coal June G.,
-Resolred, That the Committee of
Ways and Means is hereby instructed at the
earliest moment practicable to report bill
to this House TO abolish the tariff on coal
so as to secure that important article FREE
from all taxes.
Ayes-Allison, Cullom, Dawes, Hale,
Hawley, Logan.
The healthful enlargement of our trade
with Europe, Asia and Africa should be
sought by reducing tariff burdens on such
of their wares as neither we nor the Amer
lean States are fitted to produce, and thus
enabling ourselves to obtain in return bet
ter market for our supplies Of food, of raw
materials, and of the manufactures in which
we excel.-PreSident Arthur. Fourth Mes-
sage, 1884.
The tariff ought to be carefully revised
with view to correct any inequalities or
incongruities that has grown out Of the
change of values since the passage of the
act of 1888; every imported article which
does not compete with our domestic industry
and is essential 10 the comforts and wants Of
ourpeople should be placed on the FREE LIST;
every raw material of industry which does not
compete with our own productions should
be specially selected for the FREE LIsT.-

Mr.. Blair hopes to mislead the voter into
the belief that the Mills bill practically
means free trade and that its passage would
expose this country to an avalanche of for
eign manufactures and reduce American
wages to the European level. There could
not be a grosser perversion of the truth

Senator Faulkner's speech ut the rink
last evening was of considerable length,
but he held his great audience, Of about
1000 enchained throughout. 1t was not
an oratorical effort, for the young Senator,
though brilliant debater, is not a stump
orator and is not accustomed TO deal with
political meetings, but it was a clear, argu-
mentative address in advocacy Of the Mills
bill, such as he might deliver to the United
States Senate, and it held the great audi
ence almost to man for nearly two hours
purely by the force of its intrinsic merit
and the fact that it was the most complete
exposition of the Mills bill and the most
utter demolition of Republican campaign
lies in regard to that measure that has yet
been presented by a speaker to Wheeling
audience. - Wheeling Register Both.

countries which always have to buy wheat
must this year buy some $40, 900, 900 bushels,

consume will have about 295 600, 900 to sell.

MAP OF THE ROAD THROUGH SIBERIA.
and will be cheapened and facilitated by the
railroad. The present method is by drome-
daries, which are dependent on the grass
crop of the Mongolian pastures. When the
grass crop fails this method of transporta-
ton fails. In 1885 the crop failed, and i'm
mense numbers Of dromedaries died for want
of sustenance.
There is also political feature connected
with the building of the railroad. The Chi
nese boundary is at present unprotected,
and it would be impossible for Russia to
place an army at any point east of Semi
palatinsk. Vladivostok is the only harbor
Russia possesses on the Pacific coast, and is
at present of very little value. The railroad
will not only follow the boundary. but will
unite the coast station with the Russian cap
itaL 1t is question, however, il the road
would not be better for Russian military
purposes if built further north, inasmuch as
ON the boundary it will be exposed to the
Chinese.
The engineering difficulties in the way are
the bridging of the large rivers of West
Siberia and passing the great swamps But
the country is level, therefore there would
be no steep grades. The distances are very
great. From Tynman to Vladivostok the
distance is $3.50 miles, while the whole dis
tance from st. Petersburg is estimated at
6oOO miles. The time for accomplishing the
Journey would be from sixteen to seventeen
days The journey, therefore, from Asia to
Europe instead of occupying thirty-five days,
which are now required for steamers to go
from China to England, might be effected
in twenty-one days The length Of the road,
however, is so great, and Siberia is such q
wild country that it is questionable whether
the road would for time take the carrying
trade from the steamers going by the Suez
canal route.
One disagreeable feature in Russian policy
would doubtless be abandoned by the build
ing of this railroad. For years Siberia has
been known only as place Of exile for po-
litical prisoners. Many who have been used
to hearing of the territory in this connection
regard it as region perhaps as large as
single American state Siberia is larger
than all of Europe Being under the con-
China, whose people are SO jealous of Euro
pean influence, this vast territory may be
developed at any time government sees fit to
open it as through route. The great tide
of civilization has rolled from Europe west
ward until it has reached the western coast
of North America. There it is stopped by
an ocean broader than the Atlantic. Doubt
less now it will roll from Europe eastward,
and in the next century there may be the be-
ginning of a new empire in q quarter of the
globe hitherto neglected, as o hundred years
ago there was the founding Of a new world
in Australia. II the present czar of Russia
succeeds in effecting this great work, he will
do as much for Russia as was done by his
great ancestor, Peter the Great.
