"STAIN UPON NY NAME"
O'Donovan Rossa's interruption In Parliament
Created Commotion.

LONDON, May 9.-An extraordinary scene
occurred in the house Of commons which
for few moments created great commo
ton. The house was debating the bill Of
fered by Edmund Knox Of West Cavan tc
repeal Balfour's coercion act.
John Morley had just concluded his
speech, when O'Donovan Rosa, who had
occupied seat under the strangers gal
lery, rose to his feet, and in loud voice
said:
San assassin's blow has been dealt tc
me in this house, and stain put upon my
name"
A number of officials hurriedly seized
Rossa, and amid great excitement he wa:
forclbly elected from the chamber when
he had finished the first sentence OF what
was evidently intended to be an extended
speech.
Rossa got his seat in the strangers gal
lery through Edward Barry, M. Z. from
Cork. AS Rossa passed through the mem
bers' lobby he met John w. Mcclure
M. p, merchant Of Manchester, who was
high sheriff of Manchester at the time the
Manchester martyrs were hanged in 1857.

and then took his seat in the gallery. He

HOW TO KILL CHICKENS.
A New Process Which Is Being Adopted
All Over Europe.

A New Process Which Is Being Adopted
All Over Europe.
a novel method of killing chickens is
being introduced abroad. Instead of
sticking, bleeding, cutting the head of,
ETC., one takes the fowl in the left hand
by the legs, catching the points of the
wings to prevent the fowl from Tapping.
He lifts the fowl up, the head hanging
downward. With the right hand he
takes the head, catching the neck be-
tween the first and third fingers, the
thumb being on the face. The fingers
must not crush the head, but must feel
the bone at the back of the head firmly.
Death is caused by lifting the left hand
and pulling down the right with a quick
jerk, thereby dislocating the neck at
the very point where it joins the head.
Death is instantaneous if done prop
erly, which can be told by feeling the
neck, which ought to be quite soft and
entirely detached from the head, SO that
there is nothing but flesh and skin be-
tween the thumb and finger. BY this
method there is no flow of blood, but
the blood is allowed to run into the
head, which is carefully kept hanging
down until after the bird is pIucked.-

MANUFACTURES AND EXPORTS
The Wilson Tariff Opening Up Foreign
Markets for American Goods.

The Wilson Tariff Opening Up Foreign
Markets for American Goods.
The exports of manufactured goods
from the United States for the first
eight months of 1895 were Of the value
of $129, 40, 1854, as against Sis, 000, 900 in
the corresponding months of 1894. At
this rate the exports of the entire year
would amount to &c.,, SOC, 900, a gain of
81, 900 900 over the previous year. This
is about 81. 000, 900 more than the ex-.
ports of any previous year. In 1892 our
exports of manufactured goods were
only 1901 per cent. of our total ex-
ports; last year they were 23-14 per
cent.
This years exports show large in
crease in agricultural implements, ma
chinery, chemicals, locomotives, sew
ing machines. boots and shoes, refined
mineral oil and manufactures of tobac-
co. The increase in the exports of loco
motives approximates 200 per cent. In
some Of the articles the exports as yet
are small, but the figures show a hand
some percentage Of growth. In others
the exports run up to many millions.
1t Is worthy of remark that in many
cases our exports are kept down by
other circumstances than an inability
to- compete with foreign prices. In the
case of 1000 tons of iron pipe wanted
for the city of Toxic, Japan, a company
at Bessemer, Ala, bid $3.50 per ton
lower than the Scotch company to which
the contract was awarded. The Ameri-
can company failed to get the contract
owing to differences as to details, such
as the time of delivery, cost of inspec-
ton, and the like. The incident showed.
however, that Americans were able to
compete with foreigners in this class of
goods. SO far as cost of production is
concerned.
The p-otectionists have good deal
to say about the increase of imports
and the falling off of agricultural ex-
ports, which last is due to short crops,
but are discreetly silent with reference
to the increase of our manufacturing
exports, which demonstrates the ability
of many manufacturers that are highly
protected to compete in the markets of
the world. This ability has been
greatly by the new tariff,
cheaper materials. The manufacturers
themselves are coming to realization
of the need of wider markets. To Sc
cure these more is necessary than
cheap production. Many of our consuls
report that what is chiefly needed is a
more careful study of the needs of for
eign markets. SO as to produce goods
that are adapted to the tastes and
ha bits OF those who consume them

WATCH THE STABLES.
Before Retiring the Farmer Should Make
Tour of Inspection.

Before Retiring the Farmer Should Make
Tour of Inspection.
How important it is to make a tour
of the stables at, say, eight o'clock each
night. And yet how few farmers, COM
paratively speaking, make this habit.
Many and many a time the owner of
stock will on his late round notice
some premonitory symptom of disease
that has escaped the attention of the
hired hand earlier in the evening, at
feeding or milking time. Many case
of possibly fatal trouble may be caught
in time by seeing the condition of the
animals before retiring. Cases of collie
very commonly come on after the even
ing meal, and if attended to at once
will generally respond satisfactorily to
the medicines usual in such cases.
Where the animals are not looked after
late in the evening it is quite possible
that sickness, which at that time could
be treated successfully, may have
proved fatal by morning. Horses win
tering in stalls and loose boxes some
times are SO unfortunate as to cast
themselves after full meal. If not
helped up when it is impossible for
them to rise without assistance they
may be dead in the morning. About
this time of the year early foals, calves,
lambs and pigs are commencing to ar
rive, and it is therefore of the greatest
Importance that all pregnant animals
should be inspected before retiring for
the night. We need not go into detail
in this matter. 1t will be only neces-
sary to suggest the subject, as common
sense will lead our readers to accept
this Jog to their memories in good
part. Just one more point: We could
quote cases where horses in stalls have
been found strangled in the morning
from getting foul in the hitching strap,
rope or chain, while others have famed
themselves for life by getting their
feet caught in the same way and cut
ting their tendons in their struggles
during the night.-Nor'west Farmer.
