The persecution OF Jews in Russia Is
the most cruel and disRraceful spectacle
of the century No excuse can palliate
the inhuman scenes In Moscow. II Is
enough TO know that men are being
marched through the streets in letters,
not because they are criminals, or ac-
cused OF crime, but because they are
born OF a certain race. The facts are
too we'll corroborated to be denied They
are not denied. BY a coincidence Just
at this time Russia had invited the civil
lied world to Moscow TO see an exhibi-
tiou of art. and the visitors have seen
quite a different exhibition, ono that
takes away all taste for art under such
patronage.
The Car has deliberately chosen TO be
the modern Pharaoh of the Jews, and he
is dealing with multitudes vastly greater
than those that excited the hate and
Jealousy OF the Egyptian oppressor.
They are helpless to resist his over
whelming power, but in broader sense
than the term was used Of old there is a
God In Israel, and such inhumanity can
not fail, in the course of Divine Provi-
dence, to be followed by exemplary retri-
bution.-NelO York Press.

How to Feed Light nrahmns For Egg

How to Feed Light Brahmas For Eggs.
Overlooking is injurious to all breeds,
but especially so 10 Light Brahmas.
Corn should be excluded from the diet,
except IN extreme cold weather, when it
may be given in a mixture of corn, wheat
and oats, as hot mash i'm the morning.
Oatmeal scalded aud made the consis-
tency of mush. into which handful of
dessicated fish may be mixed. is one of
the best egg-producing foods that can be
given. On alternate mornings laxseed
meal may be used In place of the fish.
A pint of whole wheat to every twelve
fowls Is sufficient for an evening meal,
and this should be thrown among leaves
or chaff to make them scratch for It.
Raw meat should b. given three times a
week A cabbage fastened by a string
and suspended from the center OF the
hen house, just high enough to make
them jump for all they get, is an excel
lent thing. In short any means that can
be devised TO make them work for their
feed, with the exception of their morning
meal: and even that should be light,
simply giving enough for an appetizer,
will be found of great benefit TO them.
From actual experience we have found
that pure-bred Brahmas, by careful feed
ing, can be made far better layers than
half-breeds, and II intelligently bred can
combine fancy points and eggs
The object to he gained in raising

relation to a special preparation in adj
dition TO the regular food, gives the fol-
lowing formula as accessory in promot-
ing egg laying:
Ground bone, one pound (phosphorlc
acid and lime); ground meat or blood,
three pounds heterogeneous, forming albu-
men); linseed meal, one-half pound
heterogeneous, carbonaceous, and laxative,
used Tor regulating the bowels); char
coal, one pound fused for promoting di-
gestlon and assisting to correct acidity);
sulphur, one ounce Ga necessary con-
stItuent of an egg, and assists In warding

ger, two ounces; red pepper, one table
spoonful; fenugreek, half pound,
gentlan. one ounce (stimulants and cor.

These contain the essential elements
for producing eggs, In addition TO the

SWEATING By ELEcrRrcITY.
Clever Rogues Gan Steal 30 Cents from a,
Eagle.


The mesnvus OF the Japanese, who,
Tor the purpose OF defrauding the gov
srnment will spend days on the scoop
ing out of a small silver coin, which he
eventually fills with baser metal, are
much improved on In these progressive
aays, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. A
large number OF shortwelght gold coins
are now In circulation, aud the fire.
luency with which they are met has led
10 Investigations which show that there
has been for some time a systematic
scheme for robblng the government by
stealing metal from the coins. Some
years ago a series OF tests we're made by
the government for the purpose OF de-
lining the actual loss by abrasion In the
moving of gold coils. IL was found that
rs was lost by abrasion every time
81, 100000 In gold coin was handled.
Bags containing $1,000 each were lifted
TO truck TO be removed TO another
vault, and the mere lifting of the 200
bags caused the loss stated, and their
transfer from the truck again made
second similar loss.
This shows how readily gold can be
removed from the coins. but this method
Is much too slow for the clever rogues,
who realize the value of scientific APP
planes. The work Of abrasion is now
done by electricity, after the manner OF
the electrc.pating Of gold An ordinary
Valvanic battery and some cheap acid Is
procured. The coin is paced In the
fluid, and and attached to it are wires
from the poles OF the battery, leading to
another piece of metal To be removed
from the coin. Sufficient gold to form a
plating is quickly transfer d. ana, as it
Is removed uniformly from all parts of
the coin. the liability of disfgurementis
reduced to Q minimum, the only effect be-
ing to blur the characters slightly.
In this way about so cents worth OF
gold can be removed from a $40 gold
piece without a marked change in the
appearance of the coin. The eye of an
expert, however, detects the alteration
at glance. One of the employees in the
New York sub-treasury is said to have
become so skilled In this branch of the
work by years of experience, that he can
/ tell by mere touch with closed eyes
whether piece is spurious metal or has
been tempered with. 1t is stated that
the sweating of gold by electricity in
this country is practiced almost entirely
by foreign swindlers who have been
driven from their own country for
similar offenses.

the summer Blaokbirds.

There used to be n marsh n mile from
Circleville on the banks of the Scioto
river. A mill-race ran through il, and
in the wet, rich soil wild, rank growth
of reeds, flags and fox-tails grew up
each summer. At night, as the sun APP
preached the horizon and shone with
the fierce, red splendor of the summer
solstice, and the trees cast long shad-
ows over the level fields and placid
streams, / have heard the stiffness of
the evening air broken by the whirr of
countless wings and sharp, shrill notes
of flying birds. Suddenly the sky
seemed black, and from every point of
the compass the blackbirds came in
hurrying squads and companies, fresh
from the days depreciation in the corn
fields for miles and miles around. Tired
and weary with long fight on full
craws. as the shadows deepened and
darkened they dropped with sudden
ness to their perches, and within half
an hour every flag, every reed that
could hold bird, or two or three, was
swinging under the load of feathery
robbers, who had taken lodging for the
night. The marsh. covering acres, was
one dense mass of black and chattering
birds, busy singing good night, or tell
ing of their thieving exploits of the day.
There were blackbirds with glossy Goa
like velvet. Then came blackbirds with
worn coat of a poorly-ppaaied s%aSiuIster.
Then there were military blackbirds,
with a carriage as proud and garments
as gorgeous as the drum major of a cross
roads band. These were the bosses
They were accorded the places of honor
and command, and they sat above the
rest and gave orders from the tallest
reeds. As the shadows thickened and
the last red remnants of day faded from
the sky, the musical mutterings from
thousands of throats were hushed, and
the black vagabonds sank to rest to the
songs of the cricket and katydid, and
the chorus of sweet choristers, mourn
ing the death of day. was enriched 10y
