EGG AND WHISKY.
A Sunday School Scholar with
knowledge of Practical Life.

knowledge of Practical Life.
The 80 pupils of the Sunday school
OF the Fifteenth Street Christian
Church had gone through their lessons,
and most of the children were shifting
their feet uneasily when Supt. Ernest
Forbes announced from the pulpit plat
form that Attorney w. o. Thomas
would make a short address and then
the benediction would be said. Attor-
ney Thomas mounted the platform with
slow movement and 4 thoughtful air,
and 800 eyes watched him as he fon-
died his chin and remarked that he
would say few words about the dam
age that whisky would do to the brain
when 1t was taken into the stomach.
Now" he said, is there n boy or
girl here who can tell NE what is the
principal constituent part of the human
BRAIN
That word constituent befuddled
most of the little minds present. but one
girl, who attends the high school on
week days. raised her hand and said:
'Albumen"
THAT is right" said the lawyer. al
bumen forms the principal part of
mans brain. And now can you tell me
what forms the principal part of an
egg"
The same girl answered "albumen"
again, and the lawyer looked pleased
as he pronounced the answer correct
"Now," he continued, as he laid the
forefinger of his right hand in the
palm Of his left, NOW, TO show you the
effect of whisky on the brain. suppose

tening?'
Two hundred and fifty heads nodded
earnestly
well, break this egg in a glass and
pour in some whisky on top of it What

Attorney Thomas expected the high
school girl to reply that the whisky
would turn the egg white and spoil it,
but she said nothing. He repeated his
question: What would / have il |
poured the whisky in the glass with the
egg?'
''Eggnog." shouted Il little fellow on
the front bench.
For Il moment there was breathless
silence. and then the high school girl
snickered and the whole school, teach
erS and all, burst out into the heartiest
laugh that ever echoed from The walls
of the church. Amid the din Attorney
Thomas gracefully retired. and Supt.
Forbes dismissed the school.-Portland

Feeding Pigs Regularly.

A pigs digestion is much more easily
ruined than is often thought. The
rayenous appetite of a hungry pig leads
to the notion that it can be trusted to
eat without regard to time. But moth
ing is surer than that n pig with food
always before it will grow poor. Its
digestive apparatus never has time to
rest, and soon fails to work. There
should be regular times for feeding.
and these should be far enough apart
to allow the pig to become hungry. A
little less grain than will be eaten
should be given if the pig is fattened.
The balance can be made up with
clover pasture i'm summer and beet roots
In winter. Breeding or store animals
need very little grain, but can be fed
all they will eat of roots and grass,
though not even with these giving food
to be trodden under foot and wasted.

that of the fleece as there is four times
the profit in mutton, says the National
Stockman. A sheep may be fed for
onc-seventh of the food that an OK
requires, and will make q growth of
nearly three-quarters of a pound a day
for the $50 days OF its life. And for
the next 600 will put on n half-pound

SEARCH FOR DOLLARS
WAS SUCCESSFUL ONLY IN
SAN FRANCISCO.
Elusive Yellow Sinners as Scarce as
the Proverbial Hens Teeth-Roth
Gold and Silver Recognized by Our
Constitution and Laws.
Almost CnObtainable.

The advocates of the one dollar stand
ard have raked the official records of
Congress and the speeches and letters
of the fathers of the nation for evidence
to show that there never was any in
tention of having silver money coined
for any other purpose than that of
mere token money, and they claim that
they have established fact that the
gold dollar was the real and only dol
lar of the daddies. And they hold that
even now the little yellow piece of
metal is the true and safe and sound
and only honest unit of the measure OF
values; that in fact the silver piece,
being cumbersome. common and tickle,
could well be dispensed with and rele-
gated TO the sole use of effete mon
arches and pauperized republics.
n Chicago man the other day thought
he would like to have few samples
of the diminutive yellow sinners and he
went to his bank to get them. He made
his check and asked for fifty. He was
told by the paying teller that the best
he could do for him was TO give him ten
half-ea gles-but that would do just as
well. The customer insisted that he
knew what he wanted. and he asked if
he could be accommodated Sith even
five-Or if not, with Il single one. The
bank was out of the coin and the teller
could not remember that he had ever
handled one in the course of business.
Thereupon the customer went to other
banks. but with no better success. He
then sent to New York, and the banks
of the goldbug city were searched in
vain for his accommodation.
Appealing to San Francisco, where
gold has held almost complete sway for
half Il century, 1T last cOrnered his
plumber But he was informed that he
could have the pieces only on payment
of fifty cents premium on each one,
which would bring the cost Of fifty

And how is that for a measure of

dollar is $50 because there is 4 scar

value of the gold double eagle or of the
gold bar, measured by brains, muscle,
the products Of the earth and of the air
and the water, has been enhanced to
almost double the price it held less than
a quarter century ago, by reason Of its
scarcity. The experience of the Chica-
go man who went into the market with
gold standard money to buy certain
product of the mint, which has been
cornered by curiosity seekers, was the
same as that Of every American citi-
zen who goes to market with the prod
ucts of his land or of his muscle to buy
coin or paper money the value of which
is absolutely controlled by the monOpo-

Dairy writer's frequently caution
against placing butter where it will alb

vegetables. The worst thing about
this is the need Of it. Butter will alb

or OverpOwers the true butter flavor.
\ case is in mind just now. The writer
was supplying butter to the former
owner of this farm, and one day
planned what was intended for pleas
ant surprise, so, before the cover was
nailed down, some nice apples with Il
delicious aroma were placed in the
package, separated from the butter by
a cloth circle and layer of salt. The
surprise was on the other side Word
came back that the butter was fine in
looks. grain and everything but flavor,
that was not agreeable.
Now, some butter has an unpleasant
flavor that never was near a rosy apple,
and there was Il possibility that the
cause should be sought elsewhere, but
in due time came a later report saying
that the butter was excellent after the
surface layer had been removed. This
suggests another point: Customers
should have a suitable place to keep
butter after they get it. II the surface
is all the time exposed to the odors of
vegetables and kitchen fiavOrs unclas-
sified. the best of butter viii soon get
off flavor, and the maker will be under
suspicion of furnishing butter that will
not keep.

warped by Wall street that the Gov.

however, the President will simply let

paper money redeemed in either silver

thus it is that the plainest people,
