Helpful to Morals.

It is well known to naturalists that
when the hen has laid an egg she i'm
mediately kicks out with one leg, as If
to give official validity to the procedure.
Acting upon this known custom of the
hen, an Illinois inventor has perfected
. device by means of which the kick
registers it's date upon every egg laid, 80
that they may tell their own story in
the market. The instrument is rather
complicated, its mechanism acting upon
an electric disk, an ink pad and rub
Der stamp with an automatic arrange
ment for the succession Of dates, and
can be worked by any ordinary hen
without imposing any burdensome re-
sponsibilities upon her or confusing
her with lot of unnecessary details.
She simply kicks-which she would do
anyway-and the deed is done. Her pro-
duction is labeled and certified, and an
immense deal of lying about it, as 1t
floats through the channels Of COM
merce, is thus prevented. AS an inven.
ton it is not equal to the cotton gin, but
is superior to the fifteen puzzle and
does Illinois credit.

The Treasury and Wan Street.

Secretary Gage has made several
flying trips to New York since enter
Ing upon his duties at Washington,
and the old familiar sight Of public
ofncial hobnobbing with the men
who fatten on the necessities of the
people is again presented. This sort
OF thing has been going on for num-
Der Of years. No sooner does secre-
tary of the treasury assume his duties
than he flies to Wall street to ascer-
tain what the ''people" want in the
way OF a financial policy. It il very
much like q shepherd consulting with
the wolves az to the best methods of
protecting the focks. What this
country needs, and needs the worst
way in the world, is q financial policy
that will render it unnecessary for
Wall street to give it advice. The
late Daniel Manning furnished the
ono break in the long line Of consul
tAtions between secretaries of the
treasury and Wall street. He knew
what the people wanted, and when
Wall street sought to interfere he re-
sented it. When asked what he would
do in case Wall street began a run
on the gold reserve for the purpose
Of forcing bond issue he replied
PAY you in silver il that comes
handiest."
And there was no run on the gold
reserve while Daniel Manning wal
secretary Of the treasury. Had Man
nings policy been adhered to by biz
successors there would have been nc
necessity for bond issues aggregatinf
42o0, 900, 900, and the business o
gambling in gold would not have beer
more profitable than investments il
manufacturing enterprises. But golt
gambling has become a recognized
feature Of government finances, an,
the result is increased burdens upol
the people without any added CON
pensation In the way Of industrial en-
terprises. What this country need
and viii have when the people ar
thoroughly aroused Is q Anancia
policy dictated by common sense an
desire for public good, instead of
policy dictated by Wall street for pr
vats gain. World Herald.

It is related Of Rev. David Short that
when he was pastor of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church at Scranton, Pa, he was
jealous in the work Of securing new
members. One man, with whom he had
labored exhaustively, was finally per-
suaded as to his Christian duty, but
could not make up his mind whether
to become a Baptist or Methodist.
Finally he hit upon compromise and
wrote to the doctor that he had decided
to unite with the Methodists, but would
like to be baptized in the Baptist
church by immersion. This SO exasper-
ated the good doctor that lie sent the
following reply: II regret that I cam
not accommodate you, but this church
does not take in washing"

Ohio Woman Suffered Great Agony
 From a Terrible Sore-Her Story of
 the Case, and Her Cure.
 [" For many years was afflicted with a milk leg, and a few years ago it broke out in a sore and spread from my foot to my knee. I suffered great agony. It would burn and itch all the time and discharge a great deal. My health was good with the exception of this sore. tried a great many kinds of saIve, but some would irritate the sore so that I could hardly stand the pain. I could not go near the fire without suffering intensely. Some one sent me papers containing testimonials of cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and told my husband I would like to try this med icine. He got me bottle and I found it helped me. l kept on taking 1t until my limb was completely healed. I cannot praise Hoods Sarsaparilla enough for the great benefit it has been to me.
