tional Typographical Union, is in the city
for day or two. on business. This after
noon he attended a meeting of Peters
burg Typographical Union, the object Of
which was not only to arouse interest in
the order and increase it's membership
but to prevail upon the printers who do
tobacco work TO use the union label. No
definite action was taken this afternoon,
and another meeting will be held i'm

Charles Gee returned to-day from Lunen-

he was successful in capturing and de-

citizen named Piercy. about three miles
from WattsbOro'. Piercy fled on the aD-
proach Of the officers and escaped cap
ture. The still and a large quantity of
mash were destroyed. During the past
two years the internal revenue officers
have captured a number OF Illicit stills
in the Southsde section, destroyed a
large quantity of moonshine liquor, and
made many arrests.

THE AMERICAN HEN.

The hen OF the present day IS most
| important factor in the commercial wOrld'
not only on account of her vernal OFF,
! spring, but because civilized people are
| daily growing fonder of her eggs. StatIs-
ticians say it is practically Impossible TO
gain an idea as to the exact number OF
eggs consumed. though the export ana
import figures give a partial conception
of it's enOrmousness. Indeed the statis-
tics indicate that our feathered friend
has all she can attend to, and barely can
spare the time to assume the responsible
ties Of rearing a family.
During the year ending July 80, 1899, the
United States exported S.G95G1 dozen
eggs. valued at $Gi1. 3S5 During the same
period it imported 22j $50 dozen, valued at
S2l 300, the increased duty on this food
supply having checked their importation.
OF course. these figures are but frag-
ments of the almost incOnceivably large
total which indicates the actual consump-
ton of eggs in America. In 1898 Chicago
alone handled 2,147.950 cases of thirty
dozen each, Of which only 1.22S. $50 were
shipped out. The commission houses are
generally the distributing points for eggs
in the large cities, but in the country al
most every local store deals in them.
Many merchants accept them In exchange
for goods. while n few receive orders from
the towns and dispose OF the eggs to
hotels or other large concerns. In the
rural districts OF Virginia this industry
would assume much larger proportions If
the costs and risks Of shipment were not
so great and the market so huctuating.
The egg enters into our domestic life
not only as a substantial food staple, hut
as an ingredient of almost every con-
ceivable article of diet. There Is pracu-
caly no limit to it's usefulness in this
line, and when one reflects it seems al
most impossible that the land could hold
enough hens TO meet the public demand.
The secret, perhaps, lies in the fact that
poultry can be found in every rural barn.
yard and on the premises Of scores Of
urban and suburbau habitations. Every
hen knows her duty and does it. While
labors accomplished, as a whole they are
modest, and never 'let on that they
realize the world could not comfortably
move without them.
The probabilities are that as civilization
increases and the facilities for transport
tation become faster and better, our
feathered friend with the crimson trim
mings Will have more and more to do
Her output in decades to come will be
the grandest statistical puzzle Of the age
and no mathematician will be able TO
make calculations as TO the exact amount
of her fruit" When our neighbours
hens get in our fiower-beds we should re-
call these facts, and permit only our
wives and daughters to throw stones at
