The Busy Hen.

"It has been estimated" says a
man in 1.-THE Philadelphia Record"
"that there are about three hundred
and fifty million hens in the United
States. During the year 1900, al
though the year is not quite ended.
they will haveproduced approximate
ly fourteen billion eggs, which repre-
sents in the neighborhood of $780,
GOO, 900. That seems a lot of money,
but Just wait minute" He tigur-
on a slip of paper with pencil.
'sThe living value of hens at 80 cents
apiece,n he continued, sis not far
from 800, 900, besides which
about $l3O, 600 worth of poultry
IS eaten in this country in the course
of year. So you see the hen, while
a humble bird, cuts quite figure in
the financial worldn

Washington is full of the sort of
rumors that are always heard after
an important argument before the
U. S. Supreme Court, and "a man
gullible enough might believe that
the Justices of the Court had
taken whole lot of newspaper
men into their confidence and told
them just what the decision of the
court which is not expected to be
handed down for weeks, will be in
the cases involvidg the Constitution
al status of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. While no one knows what the
decision will be, the very able argu-
ment of Attorney General Griggs
has increased the number of those
who believe that the decision will
put the same construction upon the
Constitution that President McKin-
ley's administration has done.

The failure of the Senate to- reach
a vote on the Ship subsidy bill he
fore the holiday recess, has not dis
couraged any of the supporters of
that measure. No attempt whatev-
er was made to force vote on the
bill, because its supporters are will
ing TO have it thoroughly discussed
aud to join in adopting nny amend
ments which can be shown to be
beneficial to the object sought-the
increase of merchant ships under
the American fag That the bill
will be passed both by the House
and Senate is reasonably certain,
because it is strictly in line with one
of the fundamental principles Of
the Republican party-protection to
American interests-and there is n
Republican majority in both
branches of Congress.

 It is designed to devote the first day to the consideration of the Nicaragua canal. In addition to the Governors, the Superin- tendents of Education and Commissioners of Agriculture of every State are expected to be present. together with representatives of every railroad system in the South. h. yitations are also extended to manufac- turers, commercial bodies, Mayors of cit ies, business firms and corporations and any others interested in the objects of the association or any subjects to be discussed before it.
