9a7.
The poultry and egg products of 1899
We're valued at $13, .294, Of which S.
491,1 S3 was for poultry and 1927 III was
for eggs. Dairy products fell behind thie
industry to the extent of $1.945.392. while
the animals sold was the only item of
those of animal origin which outvalued
poultry and eggs.
All animal products were valued at
$96,372, $40 and poultry and eggs formed
14-3 per cent of this sum.
The eggs produced in 1899 amounted
to 70. $50, $50 dozens, which was an in

Washington. Feb. 19.-The census re-
ports show a very large apparent falling
off in the number of chickens in the
United States but very large increase
in the number of eggs produced This
is explained by the director of the cen

everything wearing feathers. but this
time the enumeratOrs were instructed
to include nothing but chickens three
months old or more Ducks. geese, tur-
keys, etc, were counted separately. As
the enumeration was made upon June
go 1900 this barred out many of the
chickens that We're Matched that spring

date named we had the following chick

in Maryland, and Reynolds corps of infantry hurried forward to Gettys- burg. The game was becoming inter- esting. Heth also sent word over the mountain to his chief, A. F. Hill, that the bluecoats were haunting that route. Heth was a fighter, and Hill turned him eastward again, with orders to go to Gettysburg. D
 Armies are like children in wanting what the other wants. Lee had no use for Gettysburg, and the result showed that he would have done well to avoid it. But when he saw the enemy head ing that way he thought it must be worth striving for. On the other hand, the Federals paid no attention to the town until they knew Lee wanted It. :.
 The Federal cavalry leader General Buford, was as ready 3 fighter as Heth and, held the ground on Willoughby creek until Reynolds rode up at the head of his advance division. Planting six cannon near the Chambersburg road with two short lines of troopers on the right and left of the guns, he resisted Heth for two. hours. That stubborn battery must be overcome by Heth or he could not go to Gettys- burg, as ordered.
 The next move on the checkerboard made the fierce battle of July l, 2 and follow almost as matter of course, for 1t is an axiom in war to push a. fight to a finish once the ball is open. Heth sent forward Archeris brigade of Tennesseeans to cross Willoughby creek on the left of the battery and Davis Mississippfans to make a similar move on the right, while the brigades of Pettigrew and Brockenbrough at-. tackled the guns in front Archer's men filed through the woods to the bank of the creek and divided into small par ties the more readily to get across. Some Tennessee sharpshooters climbed the tall trees lining the bank and made targets of the gunners of the battery.
 Meanwhile Reynolds appeared on the scene and sent Cutters brigade, with Halls battery, to relieve Buford's men on the road and in person led the Iron brigade into the woods east of the creek, facing Archer's men,. Reynolds was shot from the saddle by one of the Tennesseeans in the trees, but not un- til word had passed from his lips to the Iron brigade to hold the woods at all hazards. The lay of the ground

colleagues masters of Gettysburg but for the coming of Towards Federal corps to the field. The collision of two divisions of the blue and the gray had grown into a struggle between three divisions of each. and this, again, into a combat with two corps on side. EwelPs Confederates had been march ing across the country off the route to Gettysburg when Lee, hearing of the situation there, sent a courier to the commander telling him to go to Gettys- burg, but not to bring on general bat tie. Howard had been called up by a courier sent back by Reynolds few minutes before he fell, telling him to form his corps on Cemetery hill as-a reserve to the First corps. then fighting along the Chambersburg road.
 But when Howard sawsEweIl's bat talions north of the town, with an open road to Cemetery hill, he pushed his batteries and regiments out on the plains beyond Reynolds battle field to hold off Ewell The Federal front now had two facings, west and north, with Cemetery hill, the key-to Gettysburg, In the angle.
 The instant. the fresh guns of Ewell mingled their shots with those of Hill Reynolds men were doomedsto 8 losing light. But they had sworn to the fall- en leader to hold on at all hazards. The Iron brigade cleared the woods westward as far as the creek and swung around north to face the road. This movement barred fthe lefta of the line to the fire of Brockenbrough's and Pettigrew's men. The Twenty-fourt Michigan on the left. of the brigade fought at. eighty paces with the VTwen- ty-sixth North Carolina. The 'Mich3- gan men fought and retired, fought and retired again, forming in all seven lines of battle. Nine color bearers were shot down. The regiment took into battle ,4o6 men and lost S16 killed and wounded. The North Caroltnians, who fought on the other side, lost nearly 600 out of 800 in action. The leader of the Twenty-four was cap- tured at;the end of theshght and when asked by his captors why the. regiment did not surrender before it was de stroyed replied, we came here to fight, not to surrender" That was the watchword of the day. Cemetery hill was kept from the grasp of Hill and Ewell. GEORGB L. KLEMER.

BURDEN OF HINDoo CASTE.
Ceremonial CIeanness of the People Puts Them to Infinite Amount
 of Trouble.

It must be dreadful, in this day and generation, to belong to the high caste Hindoo. We suppose in past centuries, when the Hindoo were more or less isolated from the people, ceremonial cleanness of the. Hindoo people could be carried on with less trouble thanHit could be now, says Medical Talk.
 Just think of man keeping him. self ceremonially clean, according to the requirements of the Hindoo caste.
 The floor of the room in which food is served must be washed clean with a particular Hindoo disinfectant, be- fore and after meals, and this must be done by a Hindoo. If the body of the attendant who brings the food comes in contact with person who is not Hindoo, or comes in contact with anything cooked by a person who is not Hindoo, the food is pull luted, and cannot be eaten by high caste Hindoo. If water is used out of q cask or bucket, or any other re- ceptable, not only will the water be polluted if touched by non-Hindoo, but if the casl< intaining the water is touched it W. be considered pol luted Any fruit or vegetable, after it is cut or broken, cannot be touched by any one except a Hindoo, else it is polluted. Cakes or bread cannot be put in box or bin that was made by any one who is not Hindoo. A
 The Hindoo cook must take bath before cooking each meal. He must cook the meal with nothing on but his. waist cloth. The Hindoo master must also bathe and clothe himself in clean clothing before he can even touch his food. He cannot wear any clothing that has been stitched with & needle, or touched by non-Hindoo. After making himself ceremonial1y clean for meal, ii, non-Hindoo should touch him by accident, he must go through the bath again, and redress himself with entirely differ ent clothing before he can eat.
 All the pots and pans and cooking utensils must be ceremonially clean. He dare not take 8 cup of tea, or lemonade, or water from any one who is not Hindoo. He may not even drink at 8 spring of water until after he has washed himself.

 A T daylight July 1, 1868, New
 M York corporal in charge of the AA pickets on the Chambersburg = A~ road, just west of the town of Gettysburg, saw some strange men coming down the road from the direc- ton of Chambersburg. His orders were not to fire upon any one approaching from that quarter, but to notify the pickets on the right and left of his post and also the reserve pickets in his rear. The corporal obeyed orders lit erally until the newcomers fired upon him. Then, soldierlike, he fired back.
 Those early morning shots on the outskirts of sleepy inland hamlet then unknown to fame were not neces- sarily the signal for a great battle. Neither the soldiers who fought there nor the generals who led expected a decisive combat at Gettysburg. The men who woke up the Yankee cor poral's fighting vim were Confeder- ates tramping confidently forward, lit- tie dreaming that their march would be opposed. They belonged to General Henry Heth's division, and the object of their march was "shoes and sugar." A scouting trip to Gettysburg the day before had revealed to Heth the fact that these much needed commodities could be found there. On the heels of this first visit some Yankee cavalry out on a hunt for Jeb stuart's noted raiders dashed into the town and trail ed Heth's men out on the Chambers burg road as far as the crossing of Willoughby creek. The enterprising leader of the cavalry stationed pickets along the creek and reported his dis covery back to Federal headquarters
