lated His Mother Chickens.
New York World: George L. George
lives near Monticello, Sullivan county,
New York. His friends call him
Washington because they know he
cannot tell a lie.
Mr.. George sold a large number of
fresh-laid eggs here today.
II keep forty-five hens" said he.
'The hens have not been laying well,
although | tried all kinds of food on
them. Last fall ! put several barrels
of cider in my cellar, and to keep it
from getting too hard / put a lot of
corn in each barrel.
"The other day | fed some of the
cider-soaked corn to my hens. Gin
my! What a jag they got. Some
struggled around the %barnyard cack-
ling, some couldn't navigate and fell
over, feet in the air; some leaned
against the fence and hid their heads
under their wings. They were ashamed
of themselves.
Next day the forty-ive hens laid
sixteen eggs; wanted to square them
selves, | guess, / fed 'em enough corn
to stimulate them and reduce their
reads. Next day they laid thirty eggs
and they've been laying nigh on to
three dozen eggs every day since. I've
put more corn in the cider barrels"
Mr.. Georges friends still call him
Washington.

A Cyclone Story.

Memphis Scimitar: The terrific
force of a cyclone is very well known
to everyone, but there are often queer
pranks played by these wind storms
that are not heard Of by many. An
illustration of this was related by a
planter from Mississippi who is in
town.
II was just On my way from my
sawmill to the house n evening
when a cyclone came up" said he. 1T
caught the mill and sent it flying sky
ward. The wind lifted me up about
ten feet and blew me into a tree, but
/ grabbed hold of II limb and locked
my arm around it as / passed. ! am
very strong i'm my arms and | found
my strength served me well, for !
managed to keep the limb in my en-
brace. The wind whipped the branch
es Of the tree around with such fury
that it was with the greatest effort
that l could stand the blows that
were rained on me.
You'd hardly believe it, but whcr
the storm blew itself out and | got
down from that tree | didn't have {
stitch Of clothes on me. The branches
of the tree had whipped around 81
that my clothes were completely cut
to pieces, and ever my boots werc
: gone"

He Likes Western Canada.

Duhamel, Jan. "A, 1900.
Dear Sir and Friend-We had a
lucky trip, made good connections and
got to Wetaskiwin Monday afternoons;
stayed there all night, bought a pony
and saddle for the boy and hired q
three-seated rig for the balance of us
and got home to dinner next day;
caught the boys cleaning up and get
ting ready to come after us. Wednes-
day the snow was all gone and we had
bare ground and bright sunshine for a
month and it has been pleasant wealth
er ever since. The ground is frozen
about two feet, and about six inches
Of snow, just enough for good sleigh
ing. We had one cold spell in De-
cember. The thermometer went down
to 30 below zero, but we did not suffer
with the cold at all. We have worked
every day all winter. Are all well and
feeling well. Have built a log house
1SX1S, two log stables 16y1S, and are
now busy on a well. We have ten
cows, three other cattle and six head
of horses. The boys send their best
respects to Mr.. Huchison and say they
will talk 10 him enough TO pay for not
writing when he gets up here. Will
write you again next spring and tell
you all about the winter. We all unite
In sending you and family our best
wishes and respects and hope this will
find you all well. Yours very respect
fully,

HIS LAST RESORT.
Grim Tragedy Followed Close OF
New Found Hapniness.

New Found happiness.
Philadelphia Times: "Helen!" called
a man in a muffied voice, as he pushed
open the door to the squalid apart
ment at the top of the tenement.
What? You, George?"
"Ies, dear. Get up; rub your eyes!
Look what l have BROUGHT"
The man lit a candle and pushed q
small table to the side of a bed. Then
upon it he threw one roll of bills after
another, and handfuls of gold until
the top was literally covered.
Look, my poor girl! It's money
real money! Touch it! Take some of
it in your hands! Rub your eyes and
count it! Ten thousand dollars!
Think! All ours! What happiness.
Starvation, ruin, the street, the NOR
que, were before us this morning.
Now we're saved; we shall"
The woman stared at the money
and then into her husbands face.
where did you get it?"
'Oh, that's all right. | got il easily
enough mean, | won it. Yes, dear,
won it. OF course you don't under
stand. At play, my little girl. At the
gaming table. Last chance. Just like
a novel, my pet. / risked everything
on the turn of II card; no, | mean the
cast of n die. No, hell; l mean on the
fall of a ball. And there's the money.
1t will buy food and fire. Take it
listen. Somebody's on the stairs! Hide
the money! Put out the light! Good
by, Helen. I'll never be taken a~live!"
When the police burst open the door
a moment later to arrest the muir
derer they found much money on the
table and a paIe-faced, girlish woman
dead upon the pillow.
In the back yard of the tenement,
five stories below, they found the
body of a man.

SHIPPING WHISKY IN BOND.
Sent Abroad and Stored In Order
To Escape Revenue Tax.

sent ADrood ana stored In Order
To Escape Revenue Tax.
Baltimore Sun: Large shipments of
whisky in bond will be made from
Baltimore to European ports within
the next month or two. A shipment
of 1900 barrels is now nearly ready
for export, and about 1000 barrels
more will soon be ready.
While some OF the whisky will be
sent by Baltimore owners the most OF
it will be from Cincinnati and other
western cities. After being kept in
European warehouses for six months
or a year the greater part will be
brought back to this country for sale.
The whisky TO be sent out is of the
1891 and 1892 distiliation, which must
be taken out of the bonded ware,
houses because the eight-year limit
has expired. Whisky may be stored in
Il bonded warehouse eight years with
out being subject to the internal rev
cnue tax of 81 a gallon. At the eSpira'
ton of eight years it must be taken
out. Rather than pay the tax and lose
the use of the money until the sale Of
the goods, some owners prefer to ship
their surplus stock to the other side
and store it there until needed, claim
ing that the cost of freight both ways
and storage in Europe will be less
than the cost of meeting internal rev.
enue requirements at Il time when
there is no demand for the goods. The
tax is only required to be paid when
whisky is put on the market for con.
sumption, so that goods shipped to
Europe in bond are not taxed. They
are brought back as required by the
demands of the market here. Goods
remaining in the country out of bond
are supposed to be on the market.
