Where Woman ExceIs.

When a woman has hen to drive into the
coop, she takes hold of her skirts with both
hands, shakes them quietly at the delinquent
and says: "Shoo, there!" The hen takes one
look at the object to assure herself that it is a
woman, and then stalks majestically into the
coop. A man doesn't do it that way. He
goes outdoors saying: ats singular nobody
can drive hen but mer' and picking up
stick Of wood, hurls it at the offending biped
and yells: Get in there, you thiefp The
hen Immediately loses her reason and dashes
to the other end Of the yard. Tae man
plunges after her. She comes ba6z with her
head down, her wings out and followed by a
miscellaneous assortment Of stove wood,
fruit cans, clinkers, and very mad man in
the rear.
Then she skins under the barn and over a
fence or two and around the house back to
the coop again, all the while talking as only
an excited hen can talk, and all the while fol-
lowed by things convenient II throwing,
and by q man whose coat is N tbe sawbuck,
whose hat is on the ground anu T,ose per-
spiration is limitless. By this time the other
hens have come out to take hand in the de-
bate and help dodge missiles. The man vows
that every hen on the place shall be sold at
once, puts on his hat and coat and goes down
town. The woman comes out, goes right to
work and has every one of those hens housed
and counted inside of two minutes.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-E. L. Baker,
United States consul to Buenos Ayres, in a
report to the department of state says the
cattle of the Argentine Republic are in
such a languishing condition that law has
been passed offering guaranty of per
cent for ten years on the capital employed
in the business of exporting fresh or pre-
served beef. The report says it IS under
stood that several establishments are pre-
pairing to take advantage of the guaranty
and are going into business on a large scale
with special steamers fitted up for the traf-
nc and warehouses in England and France.
Great things are expected from this law by
the Argentines, but Consul Baker says he
does not believe it will hurt the United
States beef shippers much until the new
methods are adopted for the preparation of
beef for expectation. The number of sheep
in the Argentine republic he estimates at
50, 900 900 and horned cattle at q, 900, 900.

IInder Surveillance.

New HAVEN, Conn, May 24.-John c.
Bradley, cashier of the Merchants Ma
t.onal bank is said to have been under the
surveillance of officers at his residence in
Fair Haven since the year he was charged
with embezzlement The loss may reach
100000.
Tue president of the bank issued a card
saving that certain Irregularities had been
discovered involving the cashier and teller,
and that three win probably be consider
able loss to the bank which will not, how
ever impair its capital. The president sub
S squently said he did not think the surplus
tund of the bank exceeding $4,000 would
be lost and he hoped the shortage would
not exceed half that amount.
1t is understood that Palmeris interested
In the manufacture of patent medicines,
and one story in circulation is to the effect
that he was advanced considerable money
to extend his business, and being unable
to meet the payments, tided matters over
by discounting money for the lOaners.
His practices were discovered by Cashier
Bradley, it is said, but Palmer induced
him TO keep itquiet, promising to take up
the notes when they became due Failing
to do this the other notes were discounted
until the cashier and teller became deeply
involved and were compelled to keep quiet
for their own safety The general opinion
tonight is that the affair is much worse
than the bank officials care to admit

curve in the road at the scene of the acct
dent, and the creek is crossed on a thirty
foot embankment. The trainmen who
arrived here say the spikes and fish plates
had been removed for the evident purpose
of wrecking the train, and the superstition
is that it was by train robbers, though no
attempt to rob the train was made, and it
is presumed that something scared them
OFF, or they threw the wrong train.
No deaths as yet have resulted from the
injuries received by the passengers, though
several are in precarious condition.
General Manager Morrill, has offered a
reward of $1,000 for information which will
lead to the detection of the party or par
ties who removed the bolts from the fish
plates and thus caused the wreck.
