TO CURE EGG-EATING.
Positive Reformation Has Followed
the Method Here Outlined by an
Eastern Farmer,

Almost every one has had trouble
with hens eating eggs. Any one who
has learned much from it will be glad
to learn any way to prevent or cure
it. A poultryman of experience says
There is nothing more provoking
and more Improbable than a flock
of hens which have acquired the hab-
it of eating their eggs. This is
habit more easily prevented than
cured. Give the hens plenty of exer-
else with a variety of food. Gather
the eggs frequently, provide sufi-
cient resting places and keep one or
more porcelain eggs upon the floor
of the house. Dark nests are advis-
able, and a meat diet is excellent.
To cure the habit provide dark
nests and add meat to the food. Re-
move the end from several eggs and
pour out the contents. Make a mix
ture of -four, ground mustard and
red pepper, adding a little water to
hold the material together. Fill the
shells and place upon the floor of the
henhouse. The hens will make a
wild scramble for these prepared
eggs, will gobble down some of their
contents, and will soon be gasping
with open beaks. Follow up this
treatment until the hens refuse to
touch an egg. 1t seems and perhaps
is somewhat severe, but no perma-
nent i'll effects will follow. The hens
will soon learn that eggs are not so
palatable as they regarded them, and
will desist from the bad habit. Posi-
tive cures have followed this method

A NEW VEGETABLE SWEET.
Discovery of n Vegetable Growth In
Paraguay Containing Saccharin
Substance.

A plant has been found in the north.
ern part of Paraguay whose leaves
contain very sweet substance. Small
pieces will have the same effect as a
large lump of sugar if dropped into a
cup of tea or coffee. The stuff is not
the same as sugar, though. because it
is much stronger and cannot be fer
mented, says the New York Tribune.
The director of the Agronomical In
stitute at Asuncion believes that its
chemical nature is different from any,
thing else now known. The herb is
rather common one, and the Ger
mans in that part of the world are
about to make some elaborate expert
ments in cultivating it for the mar
ket. 1t is said to contain no deleteri-
GUS substance, but possibly the mat
ter has not been investigated suffi-
GENTLY. Fifteen or twenty years ago,
Prof. Ira Remsen, now president of the
Johns Hopkins university, devised a
method of manufacturing out of coal
tar substance 300 times as sweet a s
cane sugar. He named it "saccharin."
Its use has been recommended for VIC
tins of certain diseases who are
forbidden to take sugar. Neverthe-
less, for some mysterious reason,
there has been a disposition in Ger
many to prohibit by law the introduce
ton of saccharin into beer. Possibly
the explanation of this procedure is
political, not scientific. Whether the
Paraguay plant. botanically known as
Eupatorium Rebaudiarum, will even
tually prove a disappointment, time
alone can tell.

Maj. William Mclaughlin, who
knows more about Sioux than any man
in the country. says: The Sioux are
rapidly becoming farmers and cattle
raisers, and feel safe in saying that
at least seven-eighths of the tribe are
to-day leading a civilized life. For
some time after the last outbreak and
before they finally settled down and
became farmers and cattlemen, the
Sioux dwindled rapidly in population
but now that they are leading the lives
of white men and civilized beings, their
number is rapidly increasing. For this
they deserve considerable credit. for it
will be noticed that when the Sioux
did finally consent to give up their
savage life, they did so quicker and
with better grace and more success
fully than any other tribe in the United
States placed under like circum.
stances. "-National Tribune.

Mans Responsibility.

The church has long taught mans
responsibility to God, but God is such
a far-away unseeable being and the
reckoning comes so mythically, that
even churchmen try to square accounts
with an extra quarter on Sundays.
Man cares less for all the punishments
after death, than he does for the far
more memorable law of public opinion
here on earth. The local magnates''
may all be church men. Pres. Baer is
a devout "believer," but not until they
felt the scorn and the iron command of
their fellowmen did they discover that
they were answerable to any one be-
sides themselves for the power in their
hands. Labor unions which regard
less Of the rights of others, attempt to
coerce their employers, confront the
same school teacher. It is law made
for all; a law made necessary by the
fact that we have to inhabit this world
together and that none, as some seem
to think, can have here a little world
all of his own.
Every man is responsible to his fell
low men for every dollar he has, for all
his mental and physical powers and
until he realizes this fully and acts
upon it he is not a good citizen. The
brilliant man who uses his powers of
mind to debase his fellows, or in Grim
inal acts is despised; but he is no whit
worse, if as bad, as the rich man who
uses his wealth merely to increase it:
who refuses to labor the opportunity
that means increased usefulness and
good acknowledgements Post

Passing of the Copper Toed Boot.

and things notes that the copper toed
boot worn by the boys Of genera
ton ago have gradually and with no
apparent public mourning passed out
of the market. The boy now inspri-
mary school knows not the copper toe,
and the young man just out of college
knew it only through the older boy
who had once had pair, but the coun-
try bred boy who is now a congress-
man or the president Of trust doubt
less hears Of it's passing with regret.

Unlawful Seizure Of Public Lands.
There is one phase Of the report OF
Secretary Hitchcock Of the interior de-
partment which ought particularly to
receive the attention Of the congress
now in session. This is the unlawful
fencing and occupancy Of public lands
for grazing purposes, which, the secre-
tary declares, have greatly increased in
some sections of the west and grown
so fragrant as to cause much concern,
although, he continues, vigorous meas
ures have been pursued regarding
these unlawful occupants Of the pub
lie domain and prompt steps taken
looking to the institution of civil or
criminal proceedings against them. g..
Secretary Hitchcock says that one
man has fenced in over 10000 acres of
public land. He is openly and notori-
ously violating the rights Of those en-
titled to the benefits and protection of
the public land system. A private
company has 1,O79,O00 acres unlawful
~ inclosed in New Mexico. These
people use every means known, in
Guiding force and firearms, to keep pos
session of this territory. These land
grabbers have bill pending in con-
gress which, the secretary says, should
it become law, would place the last
acre Of desirable public land out of the
reach Of the home seeker" Owing to
the erection Of fences and occupation
Of public lands in Nebraska ':the home
stead law is practically a dead letter.
In the last year reports were made Of
1853 cases of unlawful fencing of pub
lie lands, embracing 1867, 844 acres.
Secretary Hitchcock also calls atten-
ton to the gross abuses of the home
stead laws by land spectators, whose
fraudulent operations under existing
statutes are difficult to prove and pun
ish. Some of the laws, particularly the
timber and stone act" the secretary
says, twill, if not repealed or radically
amended, result ultimately in the COM
plete destruction of the timber on the
unappropriated and unreserved public
lands" Entries under that act are in
creasing at rate which, if kept up, the
secretary says, twill before the expira-
ton of two years practically absorb
every acre of unappropriated public
Numbered lands" That will make the
success Of the irrigation legislation of
the last session Of congress doubtful,
If it's failure be not absolutely assured"
The peoples representatives in con-
gress have no more sacred duty than
that Of protecting the public domain,
and they will do well to heed Secretary
Hitchcock's recommendations.
