A sec, 600, 900 FRAUD.

That Ia What the Bridal Package In the
Government Treasury Is Declared to Be.
II hate to shatter a pet delusion by
giving the facts in the case, said
former clerk in the treasury department
at Washington, but fraud ought to be
exposed regardless Of consequences, and
the greatest fraud know Of is the IA
nous bridal package Of the treasury
vaults.
II say famous, but it isn't famous in
a general sense. It is famous only
among bridal couples. / don't know
how 1t is, but every bridal couple that
60 to Washington on their wedding
tour-and it seems to me that about
nine-tenths Of the bridal couples of the
country go to Neutrality-suspicious. all
about that package, and the bride can't
rest until she goes through the regular
routine connected with it. No visit to
Washington by a stranger is complete
without an inspection of the treasury
vaults, but if his or her visit is a non
bridal one the fraud of the package
isn't played
II don't know who it was in the de-
partment that first imposed it on bri-
dial pair, but it went, and it grows in
popularity every year. When the couple
enter the vault, the man in charge, aft
er a few preliminary and perfunctory
remarks, reaches up on a shelf, takes
down package of notes, and tells the
bride to take it in her hand, if she
hasn't asked for it the very first thing.
He then tells her that the package con-
tains $40, 900, 900 in treasury notes, all
in denomination of $10,0 each. The
bride is delighted, Of course, and when
she goes back home she talks for weeks
about having held $40, 900. 900 in her
hand all at one time. The bridegroom
can't resist enjoying that same pleas
ure, and he fondles the package awhile,
and the pair go away blissful over the
experience, while the treasury vault
man losses the package back on the
shelf and chuckles.
Nov this is all simply gigantic
fraud on the young people. The treas
ury at Washington does not hold that
amount of money. The bulk of the gov
eminent money is at the subtreasury in
this city That bridal package is a
gay deceiver. 1t does contain notes to
the amount of $4,000, 900. of the de-
nomination of $40, 900 each, but they re
not money, because they're not signed.
So instead of having held In their hands
$40, 100000 the happy couple have
fondled simply package that repre-
sented no more value than the price of
the paper and the printing OIL it. 1t
may be cruel to shatter this pretty delu
sion, but my conscience forbids me to
carry the burden of its cencealment any
longeri hence these facts. New York

GLOVER MAKES EGGS
II Provides the Hens with substaHce
They Need Munh

A6HW@tAWG0A
They Need Much.
Clover is as much an egg producing
material as it is producer of milk. It
is rich in nitrogen and mineral mat
ter, providing the hens with sub
stances that are derived from 1t in forms
most suitable for the purpose desired,
says Poultry Keeper. Lime is an es-
sential substance In the production
of eggs, and there are some who use
oyster shells for supplying the hens
with lime, but clover contains lime in
a soluble form and ready for use. The
vaFious grains are deficient iip lime,
and when the poultry receive NO food
but grain, it IL Impossible for the hens
to lay. When the needed elements are
supplied and the hens lay regularly,
the carbonaceous matter is appropri-
ated by the egg; but If the hens do not
lay. they become fat, and will remain in
condition which brings on some dis
ease.
Clover, by displacing grain. sup
plies the hens with substances that
are lacking in grain, and also bulky
food for heating.
When the hens have the use of
large clover field they should lay
large number of eggs during the whole
season.

Scientific Cow Feeding.

What has often puzzled practical
men in scientific statements as to the
impossibility of altering the compost
tion of milk by feeding may be dis
posed of without impugr ;ng the prac-
tice of COW keepers. Cows must be lib
orally fed, and cotton and linseed
cakes will still maintain their position
as foods rich in albnmlnoids and the
soft fats or oils Starchy foods. such as
barley and rice meal, also keep up che
condition of the COW, and thus enable
her to fulfill her functions as milk
producer 1t is, however, valuable to
know that albuminoids are of vital i'm
portance to cows in milk, because they
keep up full supply of circulatory al
buminoids in the blood. which as ii
flows through the milk glands is de-
composed into casein and even into fat

Grounds for the Poets' GLAZING That

SeeH WeepR.
Both the poets and the prose writers
of imaginative or contemplating turn
of mind have often alluded to the tears
shed by stays and other wounded crea-
lures Of the deer family. says the St.
Louis Republic. Shakespeare put it in
this way in describing the injured stag:
coaEsgeaa gre aHSther down his innocent
In piteous chase.
There is, Of course, more poetry than
truth in these references t6 the actual
shedding Of tears by members Of the
deer family. vet IT is p fact that spch
animals are provided with q curious set
of organs, fhe action of which has
given rise to the tear shedding belief.
The organ in question is the lachFymall
sinus or ''teaF pit" which Is situated
just below each eye. It Is kind of
closed cavity, capable Of being opened
ut the pleasure of its owner and which
secretes q greasy, w8Ky fluid. When
creatures provided with this curious
organ get hurt or become enragea it
has the effect OF softening the waxy
substance In the "tear pit" When so
softened, it escapes as tears would and
lows down over the nose and face.
