Product of 0Ieomargarine.

The footing up in the Central Reve-
nue. Bureau has gone SO far as to show
that figures in regard to this years pro-
duct of oleomargarine are going to
surprise the dairymen throughout the
country and others interested in the
manufacture of artificial butter. Last
year the receipts from the taxes on
oleomargarinc were sos, aoI as against
$S93, 247 for the preceding year, a de-
crease of $Io7,ooo. This year there
will be shown an increase of fully 40
per cent, something wholly unexpected.
The theory held by the officers of
the bureau is that oleomargarine is
steadily winning its way in public ia
vor as an article of commerce, put up
on the market simply for what it is.
They believe that people generally are
beginning to recognize it as cheap
and healthful substitute or butter
1t is noticeable from the returns that
more oleomargarine is sold in mining
regions, distant from the markets than
any where else. This is because it
"keeps" and does not become rancid
as time goes by. Heretofore the out
put of oleomargarine has depended in
a very great measure upon the grass
crops. When these crops were good
and the COWS consequently gave milk
freely, the government receipts on ac-
count Of the tax upon oleomargarine
amounted to almost nothing. When
the grass did not grow well then there
came a demand for oleomargarine.
The unprecedented figures showing
this years increase from the tax on
oleomargarine would induce the belief
that it has come to stay, grass or no
grass.

How SignOr Blitz Sold a Hen.


In the first quarter of this century. a.
party of travellers was journeying down the
Missouri on a flat-boat. The river was COW
cred with floating ice. and provisions scarce.
One evening. two of them, school,
teacher. and Frenchman whose Occupa-
ton nobody could discover. went ashore to-
buy provisions at farm. house. The
teacher offered fifty cents to the farmers
wife for mOtherlY old hen that was
scratching about the yard. She refused,
with torrent of abuse.
His comrade, who was lounging over the
gate whispered, "Offer another Bit"
Five bits?" said the teacher.
The woman hesitated. when. to her
amazement, the hen squealed out, "I'm
not worth itH'
The teacher started back in dismay. The
farmers wife. regaining her courage, chased
the hen, and caught it up in her arms
Take two bits: it's all Pm worthn' it
said. Tapping in her arms.
She ran, pale with terror, to the French
man, and put it into his hands. screaming
out: Take it away! It's bewitched!"
The young man threw back the money to
her, and carried off the hen.
Many years afterward. among the crowd
in the East Room Of the White House
which attended one of the receptions of
President Fillmore, was the kindly SignOr
Blitz, well known to all the children of the
Eastern States as ventrilOQuist. When
he was introduced to the President, the two
men looked at each other moment, and
then burst into a laugh. ''YOu never
thought to see me here. said Mr.. Fillmore.

mystery of the old hen. "-Y0uth's Com
