On a shelf over. the fireplace in the Of

ty of unusual interest. The little toy
throws a flood Of light on one eof the much
disputed questions of national policy, and
that is the tax per gallon at which Whis-
ky will yield the greatest revenue. The
present tax is $1.10. This sum might also
be described as the premium up moon

is moonshiner's apparatus, so small that

which whisky may be distilled.
There is first a quart milk can, of the
regulation pattern. There is next a gal

staining its sides. A little mud and about
four feet of copper tube furnish the rest
of the equipment, The moonshiner from
whom this was Captured would put his
fermenting meal mush, popularity known
as the beer" into the milk can. He would
then cement the cover down by the appli-

then starts a little fire under it, presu-
mably from "a Kerosene lamp. The rising
vapor passes through the copper tube over
to the paint pot, and there, through the

stream of cold water is kept running,
with an opening at the top for it's. egress.
Out of the bottom, from the end of the
copper pipe, flows the whisky.

exceeds in quantity and quality anything

the regret is that more space could not
be provided. The floral exhibit, and ex-
hibits in the woman's and domestic de-
partments, are excellent. The live stock
exhibits are greater than looked for espe-

cattle are far superior to stock seen in

The favorite diversion of Mr.. Balfour is phil
osophy. The leisure that other men would
give to the novel he devotes to the discussion
OF some of the profoundest Of human problems;
the truth Of revelation-the conflict between the
spiritual and the aterialistic conceptions Of the
being and the future Of man; he Is true not only
to the herdtty Of his family. but of that curious
Scotch race to which; he belongs; the race thht
has produced at once the most practical minds
and the most subtle intellects of the world.
Mr.. Balfour is often absent-,ninded, inaccurate,
slovcnly, indolent in the house Of commons; but.
it Is because while his body Is there, his soul
is far away It scars to the misty mountain
tops Of God and Life; the Soul, the Unseen, the
Eternal; in short he has essentially the theolo-
,gical mind.
