Silver Wyandottes.

oliver Wyandottes have an ef-
revive champion in Henry Stein
mesh, who in a recent number OF
American Poultry Journal says
that in his fourteen years expe-
rience there has never before
been such a demand for good
birds of that breed, which he
calls "the most beautiful and
useful breed" as there is now.
He considers the Silver Wyan-
dotte the best all purpose fowl in
the United States, and says it is
so recognized in England, lead
ing all others at the principal
English shows. To justify his
admiration for the breed he says:
The qualities claimed for the
Silver Wyandottes are their
beautiful markings, hardness,
quick growth (making splendid
broilers at eight to ten weeks,
we'll feathered and plump OF
body,) or fine table fowl when
matured, weighing about i've
pounds then, the meat being
tender and juicy; or, if you want
a fowl for eggs, they are second
to none, especially winter layers,
having the advantages of Leg
horns, their only rivals as layers,
in this-that they are quiet and
gentle, and can easily be con-
trolled in lour-foot poultry net
i51g fence and, again, in the fact
that they will raise a brood or
two Of chickens every year, and
do it in such a way that it is safe
to count on bringing up go per
cent of the chicks Matched. For
utility and beauty for the fancier
or farmer, or for the amateur
with restricted suburban lot
t&ere is no other breed OF poul-
try that will give quite as much
pleasure and profit as the Silver
Wyandotte.

Sorehead.

Sorehead usually appears In this
section in August or September,
though it sometimes comes as early
as July. The first symptoms are
dark spots on the comb and wattles.
these spots grow into sores IN a
few days, which discharge matter,
and in short time the head OF the
fowl is a mass of sores. The eyes
become closed and the matter press
ing on the balls destroy the sight.
Treatment: Watch the combs
and wattles every day, and as soon
as the spots appear catch every
chicken on the place, excepting
those under two months old, and
Sapply kerosene oil to the comb, face
and wattles, taking care not to put
any in the eyes. Repeat twice a
week until cured. If the eyes be-
come closed open the lids and ex-
tract the matter with small blunt
stick. Feed on very moist meal
and keep cooped until sight is re-
stored. 1t is not necessary to sep
arate the sick fowls from the rest,
as they will all have it. Chicks
under two. months old rarely have
the disease, but when they do it
usually proves fatal. Don't try to
cure them, it is time wasted. Keep
down LICE and mites, feed whole
soma fcpd, treat the disease as

l6S,OOO.OOO Eggs in Chicago.

Chicago has nearly 80 per cent. of
all the eggs in storage in the United
States, according to the statements
of the managers of the various cold
storage plants in this city, The
following are the quantities of eggs
now in the coolers;

Eggs and Fowls in Havana
Vyandotte.

A New York firm has been ex-
perimenting with shipments OF
eggs and poultry to Havana but
not with encouraging success.
Two carloads of live poultry ana
IT'S cases of eggs were shipped
the stock coming from Tennes-
see and going via Port Tampa
Fla, taking two days to reach
Havana. The breakage OF eggs
was remarkable. One lot brought
19c per dozen, another loo. The
poultry were carried on the hold
of the vessel-dark, hot and
badly ventilated-and OF the frst
lot 100 died, of the second, 200.
The price at Havana could not
overcome this loss. Chickens
brought $500 a dozen. Still the
demand is such that shipped IN
cool weather, and with better
facilities, there will be profit in
the business.

KISSES SENT BY MAIL.
Invention of Washington Girl for ths
Benefit of Lovers.

6CuChl vi GONClS'
Since the day the first love letter
was entrusted to the mails-aud that
is a very long time ago-sweethearts
all over the land have mourned the
truth of the sorrowful axiom that
''Kisses can't be sent by post"
Now, those sorrowful ones can take
heart, for there has arisen guide to
point path through the desert Of alb
sence. A Washington girl has in
vented method of sending kisses by
mail Never again need the signing
but distant maiden place an inky cross
at the bottom of her letter as the con-
ventional symbol of long-distance
kiss, for this Washington wonder
worker has devised a method by which
she can present to the favored one the
living image of a kiss from her own
rosy lips. It'll sort of sign label, in
capable of forgery OF successful imi-
tation. 1t is the veritable docu-
mentary evidence of kiss given and
received, and it may yet prove to be of
vast legal import.
Like many another good thing the
mailable kiss was discovered by acct
dent-at least that is what the in
ventress says. She also declares that
it was first imprinted upon paper, but
that also, is a statement unsupported
by independent testimony. The first
kiss ever successfully sent by mail is
in evidence, but where are the papers
showing the experimental stages?
Even paper, be it remembered, was
originally parchment-and parch-
ment is skin.
According to the inventress the
method of the discovery was this: 1t
happened one day that she wished to
write letter to SHIN" It was chill
ly day and blustery-she says-and
to protect her carmine lips from the
salute of the winds she reached for
little box of salye upon her dressing
table and Herewith literally anointed
her lips. And in that salve there was
a considerable percentage of rouge.
The letter having been finished, it
was adorned at the foot with the con-
ventional brace of inky crosses. Now,
she hadn't seen him for a very long
time, and the last letter he wrote was
really a nice one, so that it was under
standable that, the crosses having
been made-and blotted-she should
press her lips just once to the letter.
The rouge in the salve did the rest. |
1t was little greasy, perhaps, but the
unintentional result was very per-
feet picture of a pair of pursed lips.
The inyentress was so pleased that she
tried it again, and the second picture
was better than the first.
When those pictures reached their
destination it did not need the in |
scription, these are genuine, to tell
the recipient what to do with them. |
They spoke for themselves.
No patent upon the process has yet |
been applied for, but a slight improve
ment in the original method has been
made. It is now the fashion to slight
y damp the paper and to dust with
dry powder the lips Of the sender. 1t
works just as well and the kisses don't |,

ANNUAL REPORT OF
DIRECTOR OF MINT
Greater Amount of Coinage
Than Ever Before.
THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD
Mint Facilities Will be Taxed to Their
Uttermost Until New Buildings
at Philadelphia and Dem
yer Are Completed
THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD

Washington, December 10.-Mr. Roberts,
the director of the mint, in his annual re-
port says:
The minis and assay Offices operated
upon more bullion in the aggregate and a
greater coinage was executed during the
last fscal year than in any previous year.
Original deposits of gold were slightly less
than during the previous year, amounting
In value to $143, 497, $780, against STAT $685. 1874 in
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1885, Domestic
deposits were the largest in our history,
amounting to $76,S5S, 1856, against $685. $751; 120 In
the preceding year, but there was falling
on In foreign coin and bars. The coinage
of gold was the greatest in our history
amounting to s10S,1771SO. against s64 1874 1865
in the preceding year, and might have been
considerably larger If the capacity of the
minis had been greater. The stock of gold
bullion on hand increased from $96, 6SS, 5S2
on July 1, 1898. to $119, 772 on July l. 1899
The coinage of silver dollars from bullion
purchased under the act of July IA, $780,
was $lS,2547 O9, against $4,000, $50 in the pre-
ceding year. and the coinage of subsidiary
silver was $9,466,S77, against $685. 1904.
THE mints have been hard pressed
throughout the year to meet the demands
upon them, the institutions at New Orleans
and Philadelphia running over time for the
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-12-11

greater part of the year. The pressure at
the San Francisco mint was not so great,
because the stock of silver bullion at that
institution was exhausted in August, 1898.
An Exchange of Silver
"An arrangement was effected with the
house of ]. & w. Seligman & Company or
New York by which 3,193,613 fine ounces of
silver at Philadelphia were exchanged for
an equal amount delivered to the mint at
San Francisco. This exchange enabled the
latter institution to coin the supply of SUBJ
sidiary silver required on the Pacific coast
and to assist in the coinage OF the required
number of silver dollars. This mint also
converted into coin the full amount of its
very large receipts of gold bullion, its gold
output being $5S, 25S,000
sorhe mint facilities of the country will
be taxed to their utmost until the new
buildings under construction at Philadel-
phia and at Denver are equipped. The
stock of gold is accommodating, and with the
present pressure for subsidiary coinage,
cannot be reduced.
"Fortunately the large cash balance in
the treasury permits at this time an I'M
usual stock of bullion without embarrass-
ment, but congress should ait the approach
ing session make an appropriation for the
equipment of the new Philadelphia mint.
1.-THE building Is well advanced towards
completion, and as the power plant and
much of the machinery will require con-
siderable time for construction, the con-
tracts for the same should not be let dur
ing the coming year When the present
charges for refining silver were adopted
they were applicable to the conditions then
existing, and the government refineries re-
ceived share of the business. But the
cost of treatment has declined and the
charges of private concerns have been re-
duced, while the government charges have
remained fixed. The effect has naturally
been to send the silver bullion to private
refineries.
''While there is no good reason why the
government should enter into unnecessary
competition with private concerns, it Is de-
sfrable that so long as 1T conducts refineries
1t should do so in an economical and BUSH
ness-like manner. The report suggests that
the charges for refining silver bullion be so
reduced as to put the government. on an
equal footing with private concerns in the
business, or to such an extent as will bring
the moderate amount of silver bullion they
require for the treatment of gold deposits.

the New York assay office, the report says,
has called attention to the fact that al
though about thirty million dollars in
United States coin was exported last year,
no bars were taken for export and suggests
that the export charge of one-tenth of one
per cent which is eNacted Is operating to
our disadvantage.
'sThere is no object" says Director Rob-
erts, in forcing the public to take our
coin out of the country by making it more
expensive to take bars We had better fur
nish the raw material than the manufacture
ed article. The bars will have to be shipped
from New York to Philadelphia, melted and
worked into coin at some waste and consid-
cradle expense to replace the coin exported,
while the bars would have served every pur-
post for export The export charge was put
on bars several years ago, when gold ex-
ports were heavy and some means to dis
courage them was sought When the cur
rent coin is abraded exporters will pay
slight premium to get bars, which are full
weight, but our current gold coin is now
largely new and on the average close to
the standard, and exporters are preferring
to ship it rather than pay the bar charge.
amounted to $SS,97S,S sp, and exports to $751;
500, 1888.
''The total silver imports were $31, 120,57S,
commercial value, and silver exports $780,
655, 1886.
1.-THE stock of bullion i'm the minis and as
say offices on July 1, 1899. was as follows:
"Gold, $119, SS2 772; silver (cosD, $S5575, $685.
Worn and Uncuri emit Gold Cola
During the year 81 ,16S,S51 in worn and
uncmrent gold coin were received with
loss of $1O,543 and ss,7SS,176 of worn and
uncurrent subsidiary silver was recoined,
with loss of $4S5, 1877. The seignorage on
the coinage of silver dollars during the year
amounted to $5,52O,145 on subsidiary silver,
$50, S3S; on nickels and pennies, $69S, 729. The
coinage of all nations, including their coin
age in 1898. was:
Gold, 1895 AT ,9O5; silver, $149, 2S2, 935.
The government has now practically no
bullion available for the coinage of sub
sidiary currency. 1t has bullion purchased
for the coinage of silver dollars, but this
cannot be used without authority from con-
gress. The needs of the country for frac-
