"Whereas. recent adverse tariff legis-
iation and threats Of free sugar clearly
indicate that the dominant faction Of
the nstional Democratic party are bent

struction Of our industry and the I'm
poverishment Of our people: therefore
DO II.
Resolved, That We cannot In justice
20 ourselves vote for any candidate to re-
present % in Congress who is not Pied
eed to the protection Of sugar. rice.
lumber, salt. and all other great Ameri-
can industries.

must be free to vote for = speaker OF the
House and to effect IN organization IA
vorable to protection. no matter to what

cold winter months I fed whole

cold winter months I fed whole
corn at night. I kept daily re-
cord of the eggs produced by my
feathered tribe, and at the end OF
the year, April 1, 1894, I had gath
cred 1918 eggs and raised a flock
of IS chicks. On examining the
record and making computations |
was surprised to ascertain that my
investment had paid me a net
profit of $1.55 per head for my
flock. There is money in the
poultry business, but the past
years experience teaches me be-
yond a doubt that success in this
line requires untiring labor, great
regularity and good care.

Sucked Up by a Water Spout.

GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. 4.-Capt.
Herbert, of the schooner yacht
Puritan, arrived here to-day from
Pepper Grove Bay. He says: GA
water spout, which formed yester-
day in Boliver Channel, passed
over the bay about II o'clock. I
was coming down the bay with a
moderate breeze, when suddenly a
huge cloud appeared to extend
from the surface of the water high
up into the heavens. TWAS about
three hundred feet in diameter.
Instantly I realized the danger and
changed the Puritan's course so as
to get out of the way of the fun
nel-shaped terror. On came the
water, Kissing and roaring and
scattering the spray in every direc-
tion. Capt. Joughan, of the sloop
Kate, was in a skiff fishing for
oysters when the water spout came
tearing up the bay. He was directly
in it's path. He was lifted out Of
the skiff and carried up by the
spout. This was the last seen of
him, and the supposition is that
he was drowned. Several boats
were capsized."

A story is told of Dick, darky,
in Kentucky, who was a notorious
chicken thief, who was SO vicious
in this respect that all the thefts
in the neighborhood were charged
to him. On one occasion, Mr..
Jones, a neighbor of Dicks master,
called and said that Dick must be
sold out Of that part of the coun.
try, for he had stolen all his
(Jones') turkeys. Dicks master
could not think 80. The two, how
ever, went into the field where
Dick was at work and accused him
of the theft.
"You stole Mr.. Jones's turkeys,
said the master.
"No, I did not, massa," respond.
ed Dick.
The master persisted.
"Well," at length said Dick, CPL
tell you, massa, I didn't take dem

A remarkable discovery has been
made in the Assiout metropolis.
Among various objects was an en-
tire company of wooden soldiers
some 3S centimeters in height.
(The centimeter is about two-ffths
of an inch.) These little figures
give complete idea of the equip
ment of the regular soldier in the
time of the Pharaos. The soldiers
carry lances, which are precisely
like those used in the Soudan to-
day.

has already received it for saying
something else. Let us see how
the same kind of reasoning would
apply to other matters. Suppose
one should inquire how South
Carolina would "get aloLg' with
out coal oil would that be "a sug-
gestion worth considering" when
discussing the rascalities of the
Standard Oil Company? Suppose
it to be true that the country
would be good deal worse off
without sugar than with it; does
that justify the sins of the Sugar
Trust? Why, according to that
way of looking at things, a corpora
ton may rightly resent any depre-
cation of it's refusal to pay taxes
or of any other iuiquity that it
may be pleased to commit, SO long
as the balance of public advantage
from it's operations amounts to one
cent. In the same way a default
ing tax collector who has embez-
zled nine-tenths of the money that
he has collected may defend his
exaction by pointing out his use

particularly. Those ragged white
Russian geese bite like bulldogs.
1t is no mere peck with them; they
bite and hang on. The common
old farm-yard gander is a capital
fighter when he is driven to it. At
certain place in Scotland there
used to be Gagged golden eagle.
He preferred to kill his own din
ner, and it used to be a cruel sport
to watch him dispose Of any un-
fortunate hen or guinea fowl that
was put into his cage.
They tried him, I believe, with
every sort of domestic poultry.
Ducks, peafowl, turkeys-the eagle
was master of them all. He had
no trouble in finishing them off,
no trouble even with the "bubbly
jock" But at length they tried
him with gander; but be could
make nothing of it. The gander
crouched into a corner, drew back
his head, presenting nothing but
broad, spade-like bill, from which
ever quarter the eagle tried to at
tack him.
The eagle fumed and fretted, and
grew very angry; he made desper-
ate attempts to take the gander in
the flank, but the wise old bird de-
feated them all. In the end they
had to give the gander his liberty,
as the reward of his courage, and
to satisfy the eagle with the much
more succulent dainty of q young
turkey poult.

The making of really good syrup
(leaving out darkness" or "bright-
ness" of product) rests not on
chance or peradventure, but wholly
and solely on the degree of knowl-
edge, ability, and skill of the syrup
maker. Sorghum syrup, at its best,
should be of a pale, rich, golden
yellow, or, at most, reddish yell
low color; never darker than this.
1t should be thick enough to "rope"
in warm weather, and thin enough
to run or be drawn from the barrel
in cold weather. In order to have
an article that will please the most
fastidious and find ready sale at
remunerative prices on any market,
it is essential that you have good
outfit-a good mill, with a good
copper pan, or evaporation. Don't
fool away time or money with a
galvanized iron pan unless it is
absolutely unavoidable. The mill
and pan should be of q size to cor
respond with each other; as, if the
pan is too large for the mill, it will
evaporate the juice too fast; the
fire will occasionally have to be
Stacked; as a consequence, the
Juice is left on the pan too long
and the syrup will necessarily be
dark. The less time the juice stays
on the pan and the speedier the
process of syrup-making is carried
on, the better, clearer, and brighter
will be the product. Or the other
hand, if the mill is too large for
the pan, a head of juice is too
easily kept up, and an idle team
and idle hands are the consequence.
We mention this because it is
often the case that the mill and
pan are out of proportion. The
third essential is, strict cleanliness
throughout the entire syrup-mak.
ing process. The juice should be
strained at the mill, again strained
at and before going on the evap
orator, and, third, the syrup mus
be strained as it leaves the evap
) orator. In making syrup, we try
to keep the three back section

front sections (those over the fire
