A NEW FIELD FOR REVENUE.

gone into a field in search Of revenues that was
discarded by Congress when the War Revenue

the Senate Finance Committee were favorably
impressed with the suggestion when II was
made 10 them. but 1t was abandoned because 1t
was believed that sufficient revenues would be
secured without further increasing the burdens
OF taxation Now the expenditures Of the Gov
ernment have been increased, and there is no
hope Of an increase in receipts. Items that were
originally booked for special war taxes VIII
again be considered. and tbe scope of the War
Revenue law enlarged so ~ materially TO assist
the Treasury. and If possible prevent another

AN IRISH CABIN.
Resembles in Many Ways Miniature

1t was 6 o'clock in the morning, and
l was sitting on a wall. with the vii
rage OF Dugort in Achill island, in
front of me. / was there for the pur-
pose of seeing the animals come out
OF an Irish hut after their nights rest.
The village was filled with music as
| sat upon the wall Nearly every
kind of British bird was singing, and
the Atlantic murmured on the Dugort
strand. But the doors of the cottages
We're closed, and their inmates were
asleep. | wondered why / should not
run away with pair of trousers which
were hanging on a door in the sun.
And l wondered what was to prevent
me making off with a spade and
basket which lay near the road. The
owners of these articles seemed to as
sumo that l was honest, which felt a
little strange.
Patiently, however, 1 kept my eyes
on the cottage doors. And at last.
about a quarter past Z. one Of them
was opened. Immediately three geese,
eight goslings, six hens, Is chickens,
two pigs and a cat darted forth in the
daylight. The geese formed themselves
in a noisy procession to the nearest
pond: the hens gathered their families
together in triumph in field; the
pigs, without any ado, began eating
the first things they could discover,
and the cat, after a moments hesita-
ton, climbed onto the roof. Then the
door was closed again, and the family
arose and had breakfast. At least so l
think. In any case, 20 minutes later,
man once more flung open the en-
trance of the hut, and, 10. four cows
slowly marched forth on tcs-the road.
And when two barefooted girls had
driven these away to pasture on the
hOJ1Ep
himself appeared, leading out the fam
lily horse. Two somewhat dilatory
sons followed, and. taking up the spade
and basket which had lain outside all
night, they went after their father to
the daily work of the field. And now
romped out three small children, filed
with the intention of playing a game
until they saw me looking at them.
But then they became as quiet as mice
and stood wondering against the wall
After these came two elder sisters car
rying cloth bags filled with books, and
/ watched their bare feet tripping
down the winding road to the national
school. And finally emerged the strap
ping and bronzed mother, leading the
faithful donkey loaded with peat bas-
kets, and followed by gentle dog
with it's muzzle on.
And ! reflected as I went lack hun
CRY to breakfast that SO animals were
a good many for hut. When l re-
turned after breakfast / found that
the goslings had clambered over the
wall and three little children We're
playing with them. But very soon
these children got tired of the goslngs,
and sat solemnly on the grass wonder
ing what to do next. And then their
heads appeared over the top of the
wall. They scrambled down onto the
road, and began to make defiantly for

goods, while a few receive orders from
the towns and dispose of the eggs to
hotels or other large concerns.
The egg enters into our domestic life
not only as a substantial food staple,
but as an ingredient of almost every
conceivable article of diet. There Is
practically no limit to its usefulness
in this line, and when one reflects it
seems almost 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 su-
burban habitations. Every hen knows
her duty and does 1t. While some of
them apparently rejoice in their 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 civili-
cation increases and the facilities for
transportation become faster and better
our feathered friend with the crimson
ed trimmings 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 flower
beds we should recall these facts and
permit only our wives and daughters
to throw stones at them.

HENS AND THEIR GOOD FRUIT.
They Are an Important Factor in the
Commercial Life of the Country.

From the Richmond Dispatch.
The hen of the present day is most
important factor in the commercial
world, not only on account of her vern-
al offspring but because civilized peo-
pie are daily growing fonder of eggs.
Statisticans say it is practically i'm
possible to gain an idea as to the ex-
act number of eggs consumed, though
the export and import figures give
partial conception of it's enormousness
Indeed, the statistics indicate that our
feathered friend has all she can attend
to and barely can spare time to assume
the responsibilities of raising a family.
During the year ending July 80, 1899
the United States exported 3,693,6l1
dozen eggs, valued at s641, 1856. During
this period they imported 2251S0 dozen,
valued at s21, 800, the increased duty on
this food supply having checked their
importation. OF course, these figures
are but fragments of the almost in
conceivably large total which indicates
the actual consumption of eggs in
America. In 1898 Chicago alone handled
2.147.950 cases of thirty dozen each. of
which only 1.22S,356 We're shipped out.
The commission houses are generally
the distributing points for eggs in the
large cities, but in the country almost
every local store deals in them. Many
merchants accept them in exchange for

/ have told you that foulard gowns
will be worn far into the autumn this
year. One of the most elaborate of
these seen this week and destined for
Lenox afternoon receptions was OF a
deep amethyst-purple, spotted with
white a petits pos. 1t simulated
Princess dress and fastened al the back
The upper part of the bodice consisted
of deep yoke of turquoise-blue satin,
entirely yelled in handsome ivory gui-
pure, which concealed the junction be-
tween the yoke and bodice by being
allowed to fall in points over the foul
ard. The sleeves are made also of the
lace drawn closely over the pale blue
lining. No fulness was permitted upon
the shoulders. The hat was, trimmed
with beautiful mauve convolvuli.
Speaking of Lenox reminds me of
two chic tailor gowns l was shown at
the same time. These We're destined for
two very stylish young women who
look upon autumn and Lenox as the OPP
portunity of the year to display swell
novelties. The first was a costume of
olive-green tweed, decked with brown
leather. The skirt was perfectly plain
save for the rows of stitching on the
lower edge and the band of leather
which edged the diagonally cut pocket
just below the left hip. The waist was
an Elton coat with a small simulated
bolero Of the brown leather, also with
bias bands of the same. A Rough
Rider hat in brown kid finished this
stunning costume. The second gown
was also decked with kid, and was
harmony of beaver tones. 1t had per-
fectly glove-fitting skirt with an out
side pocket set on the left side. This
pocket was six inches square and had a
flap at the bottom which buttoned
down with two silver buttons. The
waist was blouse, in that it had no
darts and that the fulness was drawn
down into the kid belt. The fronts
opened over a soft vest of repped silk
and were themselves edged with small
flat vest of Highland plaid. A little
