Whisky and Collins.

Capt. Slocum, who is telling in the
Century Of his voyage around the
world alone in a little sloop, the Spray,
was familiar with most of the ports
in which he found himself on his jour
ney of 10000 miles. One of these was
Buenos Aires. There he looked in vain
for the man who once sold whisky
and coftins in Buenos Aires; the march
of civilization had crushed him-mem-
ory only clung to his name. Enter
prising man that he was, fain would
have looked him up. l remember the
tiers OF whisky barrels, ranged on end,
one one side of the store, while on the
other side. and divided by thin par
tition, were the collins in the same
order, of all sizes and in great num-
bers. The unique arrangement seemed
in order, for as cask was emptied, a
coffin might be filled. Besides cheap
whisky and many other liquors, he
sold cider which he manufactured
from damaged Malaga raisins. Within
the scope of his enterprise was also
the sale OF mineral waters, not entire
ly blameless of the germs of disease.
This man surely catered to all the
tastes, wants, and conditions Of his
customers"

Among the anecdotes related by the

this about the famous banker Roths-

Vienna, already referred to, each Of

invited par exception. He modestly
went to take his place. not among the

HENS AND THEIR oooD FRUIT.
They Are an Important Factor in the
Commercial Life Of the Country.

They Are an Important Factor in the
Commercial Life of the Country.
From the Richmond Dispatch: The
hen Of the present day is most i'm
portant 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.
Statisticians say it is practically i'm
possible to gain an idea as to the exact
number of eggs consumed, though the
export and import figures give par
tial conception of its enormousness.
Indeed, the statistics indicate that our
feathened friend has all she can at
tend to and barely can spare the time
to assume the responsibilities of rear
ing family. During the year ending
July 30, 1899, the United States ex-
ported 3,693,611 dozen eggs, valued at
$641 1856. During this period they i'm
ported 225, ,1S0 dozen, valued at $21,-
800, the increased duty on this food
supply having checked their importa-
ton. OF course, these figures are but
fragments of the almost inconceivable
large total which indicates the actual
consumption of eggs in America In
1898 Chicago alone handled 2,147 $50
cases of thirty dozen each, of which
only 1,223,356 were 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
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 substantial food staple, but
as an ingredient of almost every con-
ceivable article of diet. There is prac-
tically 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 barnyard and or
the premises of scores of urban and
suburban habitations. Every hen
knows her duty and does it. 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 civilization
increases and the facilities for trans
portation become faster and better.
our feathered friend with the crimson
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 neighbor's hens get in our flower
beds we should recall these facts and
permit only our wives and daughters
to throw stones at them.

Glen jumped from his chair and

SO olated was he over his bright idea;
then both young men laughed heartily
and wondered that they had not sooner
thought OF so easy way out OF their
dilemma
1t was difficult situation. The
young men had hotly resented a scold-

vowed never to speak to them again
and by finding it convenient to visit
much away from home, and eschewing
evening church and festivities had
managed to adhere to their resolution.
In the meantime the Kings had
moved into the place. and just to show
the girls that they were not the only
ones in town, both young men had
taken to calling on Kittie. She was a
lively, pretty girl. and it was pleas
ant place to visit, and so it had gone
on until they had established quite an
intimacy, and without either actually
inviting her, they had committed
themselves to taking her to the ap-

her Of getting up party, in which

AWFUL KANSAS TRAGEDY.
An italian Murderer. to Escape Arrest,
Kills a Man and Woman and Jumps
into a 1 ,OOO-Foot Shaft.

KanOpOlis, Kan, April 26.-An Italian
family, consisting of a man, wife and a
boarder, were involved in an attempted
murder here Monday night The woman
had recognized the bOarder as an
escaped murderer who was want
ed in Italy for the murder of a
man, woman and child and had
been tracked to South America, but
had escaped and came direct to KanOp-
oils. When the bOarder found that
he had been recognized, fearing that
he would be given up, he determined
to kill the family. Last night he made
the attempt, shooting the husband and
wife and then cutting the man with a
razor. Before he had killed his land
lord, the woman, who had escaped,
gave the alarm. The murderer started
to run towards the salt works when a
big watch dog kept around the place
gave chase. This startled him so that
he plunged into the shaft Of the Kan
OpOlis Salt company and fell to the
bottom 1000 feet below. The man who
was cut may possibly recover.

crimes which began with the burning

the whites Of that little town In retail
alton, to be followed ten days ago by
the murder of Alfred Crawford and the
ravishing OF his. wife for which the
negro, Sam Hose, was burned at the
stake Sunday, has stirred the people Of
Georgia and the south into a renzied
discussion Of the social problem re-
vealed- The question Of protection for
the white women in the sparsely settled
farming districts is the topic to-day. The
Atlanta Constitution to-day devotes a
page to a collection Of opinions on how
proper protection can be afforded to
the women Of the country. OF the mat
ter, Gov. Gambler has this to say:
The question Of protection for women and
homes in the country is one OF deep interest and
which weighs upon my heart I think the
1isest plan for protection VIII be for the legis-
lsture to take up the matter and provide sum
Gent state militia and funds 70 be expended for
patrol in the country districts
Ex-Gov- William j. North expressed
himself as follows:
An occasional negro lying dead in the back
yard, shot by a brave woman in defense Of her
honor, viii do more to stop this awful crime than
all the lynching that may occur in a year. I
would have every county supplied with az least
half dozen trained bIOodhoundS- I would have
an organization OF at least 20 men in each c0un-
II who should have supervision Of al laWleSs-
ness and disorders in the country.
Mrs II. FELTON,, who produced a SEN
satiOn by her assertion at an agricul-
tural convention two years ago that
LOCO negroes should be lynched every
week until the Outrages stop, says she
has no reason to chance her opinion.

THE UTE RESERVATION.
The Last Great Indian Reservation In Colo
RADIO to Be Opened for Settle
ment.

Washington, April 25.-Within two
weels-May -the reservation Of the
southern Utes, the last great Indian
reservation in Colorado, viii be thrown
open to settlement. It comprises a
tract Of about CSC, 900 acres and includes
both valley and mesa, or uplands- The
soils are the semi-adObe, sandy loan
and red-the former peculiarly adapt
ed for the growth of grain and
grasses, while the soils of others are
unequaled for the growth of vegetables,
alfalfa and fruit trees. Owing to the
percentage Of gypsum in the bottom
lands, the yield Of clover Is as high as
81 tons to the acre. The plateaUs
afford range for tens of thousands of
heads Of cattle, horses and sheep, while
the adjacent mining camps supply an
abundant market at good prices. No
prospecting has ever been allowed in
the reservation, though there is every
reason to suppose that there are great
mineral deposits there.
Under the homestead act a man more
than 81 years Of age or the head Of a
family, who is a citizen Of the United
States, can, by fling a description Of
the land he wants to occupy at the
United States land Office at Durango,
Col, and paying down so cents an acre,
get claim Of not more than 16O acres.
Within six months he must settle upon
the land and at the end Of II months,
by proving residence and paying IS
cents an acre additional, he can get
clear title.

CANNED ROAST BEEF.
Col. GarIington's Collection Of Opinions
from 356 Omeers and I63 Enlisted Men
Not Complimentary to Army Ration.

Washington, April 26.-The report of
Col Darlington, Of the cOmmissary de
partment Of the army, which was yes
terday presented to the Wade court Of
inquiry, but not accepted as a part Of
the record, was made public to-day. It
covers almost 100 typewriter pages
and Is a careful review of the sub
Jet. Col. Darlington claims to
have collected the opinions Of
$40 officers and 163 enlisted men con-
corning the canned roast beef, which
he Classics as follows: Twenty-three
officers and one man pronounced it
good or excellent - officers and
two men, fair or good with excep-
tiOns;'' 26 officers and III men,
mostly bad or unfit 3O2 officers
and 149 men, entirely bad or
unfit" He comments at some length
upon this, giving the various terms
used to indicate the feeling of the Off
GERS and men in regard to 1t, but says
that where cooking was possible and
vegetables and condiments available
and the beef prepared, seasoned and
mixed with vegetables, complaints
were lessened or modified, and some
even praised 1t as a subtitute for fresh
beef. -
