IRELAND DEPoPULATES.
In View Of This Government Determin-
ed 20 Reduce Representation.

New York, Feb. a.-The government
has determined to reduce lreland's rep
resentation in parliament, says the
Tribune's London correspondent. The
governments hands will be quite full
this year with Irish land and London
education. and it is taken for granted
that the redistribution scheme is to
be tn, chief measure for 1901,
on the basis of the present pcpula-
tinn England has S6 members too few,
Scotland three too many and Ireland
80 too many, There are 1903 Irish seats
in the commons today and it is an
open secret that the government in
tends to reduce this number to S5 or
less.
The hationalistS argue that as the
act of union gave Ireland 100 members,
the imperial parliament has no right
to reduce this representation, When
the act passed the population of Ire
land was 5,1OO0OO, about half that of
Great Britain. Today the population
Is 4,434,0O0, or little more than one
ninth that of Great Britain.

Salem, Feb. 9.-Nobody scored gains
and nobody suffered losses on today's
joint ballot for United States senator,

totals all being accounted for by pairs

Again today an air OF expectancy per

joint ballot disclosed no changes has
not served to dissipate the impression
which seems to be general that the

INCUBATOR FOR CROWS.
Farmer billings Hatches Them to
supply a Millinery House
In Chicago.

Farmer Billings, of Brookdale, Pa,
has taken contract to furnish a
Chicago milliner with crow heads at
Is cents apiece. 1t costs something
to get dead crow, because it is an
elusive bird, and ammunition costs
something.
billings, however, is an enterpris-
ing speculator. lie has devised a
scheme by which maximum num-
Der of crows heads can be obtained
at small expense. He has set up a
chicken incubator, in which are
placed, as fast as laid, the eggs of
about 100 hen crows that have been
trapped, with perhaps a dozen cock
crows.
Within Is days the little creatures
are Matched. and fortnight later
they are ready to be beheaded. 1t is
understood that the head of a crow
chick is worth just as much as that
of the oldest of the same species.
At the uniform rate of four for a
dollar, dead, they will pay the pro-
ducer. Farmer Billings has the only
crow hatchery in the world, and he
is justly proud of it.

DR.. and Mrs. John West Benton, re-
Gently married at London. will sail for

Ogdens burg, y, u, where both were
brought up" the bride being Harrie;
Egert. 1t is boy and girl love flair,
which, after many obstacles had been
removed, resulted in a happy union.
For five years the Egerts lived chiefly
in Europe, except when Mrs. Hansick-
er, the wife of Col. Willard Hansicker,
now the European representative Of

had the girls on a visit out west, and
the lovers did not get glimpse of each
other all these years, nor did single

Being very handsome, she had several
marriage proposals, but all were re-
fused. Baron de Graffenried was in
fatuated with her and did all in his
power to win her.

intention of marrying her old sweet

away. After the wedding the couple

CHANGES HER COLOR.
Young Bohemian Girl Whose Skin
Varies with Her Emotions.
Physiological Sensation which IL De-
eupying the Attention of the
Paris Scientists-ReEultO of
Heating Accident.

Miss Marga Cerbus, young Bohe-
milan girl, whose skin possesses the re-
markable property of changing color
in sympathy with her varying sensa-
lions, is the physiological sensation of
the day for Partisan scientists.
Her skin does not reflect the colors
N her vicinity, but complete change
is produced by the different emotions
she feels.
Anger makes il much darker than
that of a negroes; joy turns it to pretty
pink, and anxiety causes her to as
sumo u pale greenish tint; fear turns
half her body beautiful violet COM
plexion. The most extraordinary fea-
lure of the case is that the colors rare
~ mingle, but the greater part of the
time changes take place without any
apparent cause.
Her natural color is a warm, dark
shade. Sometimes the face turns sud-
denly to a deadly white, while the
rest of the body remains unchanged,
At other times an arm, the neck, the
hand or foot turns different shade,
according to the sensation expressed,
The only time the skin remains with
out variation is when she is asleep
These curious variations in skin have
only made their appearance since she
met with a boating accident in which
she was nearly drowned.

The tortures and evils Of dyspepsia and

may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action Of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation Of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers Of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
