THE AMERICAN HEN.
Importance of the Barnyard Bird as
 6 Factor in American Life.

Importance of the Barnyard Bird as
 & Factor in American Life.
 Boston Transcript.
 Probably the principal interest felt in the egg industry by the average Amerl- can citizen lies in the fact that within the last six weeks eggs have been work ing up from about 30 cents dozen Tor tho best quality to close to 70 cents to the purchasing consumer. This, however is not paying the American hen the re- snect due her. She is not only an im- pcrtant, but a wonderful potential fac tor of the agricultural industry of the United States. Yet even the average lar mer considers her almost beneath his notice. He leaves her to the women and children and begrudges, her almost eV- erythiDR that makes even the slightest inroad upon his ordinary crop productss To her is assigned the stunt" of provid- ing her own living, and she must do tfat by gleanIng behind every regular harvest. After he has dug and garnered and thrashed and closed his account with each particular item of production-pro- vided he keeps such an account-the hen can find her subsistence in what he has overlooked.
 In other words, the poultry yard. to 9 great extent, Is somewhat contemptu- ously regarded as @ mere incident of his gt neral business. Sometimes his wife or one of his children will take hold of that neglected branch and put him to shame by making it the most profitable feature of the whole establishment. Yet a delver in census returns working for the Brook lyn Eagle informs us that last year the poultry and eggs produced and eaten m the United States were worth more than all the gold and silver mined in the world during the same year Except TOT the year 1900, the egg product or tnls country has exceeded in value that or lss combined gold and silver output for every year since 1S50 which takes in the en- tire bonanza period of our history. That with the poultry product also exceeds fin value the wheat crop of twenty-eight Of the most fruitful States and Territo- ries.
 Reduced to concrete terms. in 1899 the egg record of this country was 1,29O 0OO,OOO dczen. There are thirty dozen to a crate, and 400 crates to a car, so a train of cars sufiicent to accommodate the transporta- ton of all these crates would reach from Chicago to Washington, a distance of S6S miles, and then there would remain sev- eral cars of eggs to spare. In 1900 Iowa produced 99,0O0,000 dozen, and Ohio 9l .000,- 00o. having a value of over $10.OO0.O00 for each State. Of course. the incubator has considerable to do with poultry produc-

QUEER PRANK
WHICH FORTUNE PLAYED WITH
 DIR. JAMESON.
Once Very Close to Death as Leader of Unsuccessful Rebellion, He is Now Premier of
 Cape Colony.

There are some men who cannot be kept down. Dr. Leander Starr Jameson. of South Africa, familiarly known as "Dr. Jim. apparently is one of them, says The New York Tribune. By a strange turn of the wheel the man who rose from a physicians prartice to the office of administrator of a province in South Africa, then fell technically by the failure of famous filibustering ex- petition into the Orange Free State to the level of a convict, has again risen. This time the height attained Is greater than any he had reached before. He has been called to the office of Premier of Cape Colony to succeed Sir John Sprigg, prob- ably the first instance on record of the promotion of a convict to a premiership
 "Dr. Jim perhaps did not need the as- sistance of a madcap raid to give his name currency, but nothing in his career has done so much to make 1t remembered as his invasion of the South African re- public prior to the Boer war and the narrow escape from the imposition of the death penalty upon him and his off, cers by the Boer authorities as a conse- uuence. Winning recognition from Cecil Rhodes by his ability to accomplish po- litical and military missions which seem ed almost impossible of accomplishments fin course of time he became a most im- portant officer in the employ of the Brit ish South Africa Company of which Cecil Rhodes was head. It was within his pow CT to organize military expeditions. so in December. 1s99 when the Outlanders in Johannesburg. who had armed them selves with the intention of obtaining constitutional recognition asked him to come to their assistance, with his usual promptness he started the next day with a force of 600 Bechuanaland mounted po- lice in command of several British off, cers. for the South Africa republic. They were armed with Lee Metford and Mar tini-Henry rifles and eight Maxim guns. and Dr. Jameson took pains to prevent any official recall from reaching htm. He cut the telegraph wires near the point of departure Mafeking. Only one days sur- ply of rations was taken. Notwithstand- irg pr.

 l have been so often advised to keep ou: of politics" that l am forced to con- clude that some people, my advisers al least, have a poor opinion or poiltics; S3o We'll the pity Is, there's a pretty wide spread ignorance of the Science. And, niore's the pity there are those who ln- drstriously cultivate this ignorance that It may be perpetual -,,-,..,
 1 reckon the highest type of religion is the highest science known to man. l think Politics comes next. From my view 1 think there is no harm in my catering politics, no more than In my eh- tering religion. l hope you will conclude that I have a high opinion of Politics, an exalted one of Religion. l may be guilty O. the objectionable sin, but l hold that every elector. yes, every citizen should be politician for the good of the coun- try, and everybody should be a Chris tian for his own good, the good of his country and the glory of God. l think the two Sciences. Religion and Poiucs' can do us no harm when studied to- gether.
 1t sometimes happens that we mistake Partisanship for Politics, and it's fear ful mistake. Now. if my Editor, my Doctor and Preache would advise me to keep out of Partsanship for the health of my morals and the good of my soul, perhaps 1t will be well to take the ad- wee of experience-and l have taken it.
 From all I can gather. 1t Is business that no gentleman should engage in. V ny, when one loses his honor sufficient l3 to enter Partisanship. he Is almost ready to subscribe to the golden rule of the Order, Do others or they'll do you, and Is almost persuaded to take little, mean advantages of his friend and broth CT. Sometimes I'm almost 0hough re- Iuctantly) inclined to think that some fellows are almost tempted to manipu- late Party Machinery for success. 1 sup pose, though, we ought to hope that no man will ever fall that low. The descent to hell is easy, so said, and it may be tkere is no limit to the degradation of tho mere partisan but the real Politician vii. hardly resort to underhand methods tO destroy an opponent by the handling
 or managing of a committee.
 And. you mustn't suppose for an in stant that I. even In the remotest man Ter, intimate that anything like Partl- sanship can be charged against the pure minded patriots who control in Alabama Just understand that my remarks have ID local application. You know that vixen I didn't know peas from beans in | politics I was a very intelligent Demo- crat. It may be paradoxical but it seems ! to me that the more ignorant one Is of politics the more he becomes an inteli- gent Democrat or Republican. Strange, l isn't it? This observation of Wisdom may

petition from reaching the outside world. MT. Chamberlain received infor- nation regarding it, and ordered Sir Hercules Robinson, the British High Commissioner in South Africa, to repu- diate his action by proclamation and send messenger to Dr. Jameson, order ing his immediate return. The messen- ger reached the adventurers. who felt that they had the sympathy of persons In power, even if accepted usage was against their hostile acts toward a friendly" nation. and pr. Jameson re- piled to the message that 1t should be attended to-" Other warnings of a simi- lar character reached him from other sources, but Dr. Jameson replied to these that he was anxious to fulfill his prom ise made to the principal residents of the Rand, to go to the aid of his fellow men in their extremity"
 The Boers were able to take care of themselves when "Dr. Jim' got within their territory. At Krugersdorp a force of about 1000 men, under Commandant Cronie, met him, and being in an ex- Thausted condition from want of sleep and food his troops were unable to withstand the opposing force. They fought with courage, but the following day were obliged to lay down their arms at Doorn- kop Immediately after the exploitation Dr. Jameson and his followers were talk en to Krugersdorp and thence to Preto- ria. where they were put in prison.
 The successful capture of pr. Jame- sons force led the German Emperor to send to President Kruger the dispatch which became famous congratulating him on having succeeded without calling for the help of friendly powers" against armed bands which had invaded his coun- 1 try This created a great deal of excited | fnnI In NaVVra aY1xy and resulted in the mobilization of fly ing squadron by Great Britain. There were rumors that the captured officers were to be shot. but this provei to be unfounded; at least, pr. Jameson served rom May to December, and was then released on account of his health. He took part in the war against the Boer re- public after returning to South Africa. He Is of Scottish descent. having been Torn in Edinhurg in 1853, and he first went to South Africa to practice medicine at l Kimberly in 1871.

tI ain, say that he had recently been sit ting at the feet of two Gamaliels of De- mocracy and getting BenJamins bait O. the pure stuff" Upon inquiry found that one of these great teachers is just al 'amusin' cuss' who won't turn loose one public teat till he has sunk his teeth into another, which shows him to be very prudent kind of a bull calf and en- titled to the Degree of Doctor of De- mocracy. 1 recognized in the other teach CT an old friend who, years ago, was ready to abandon Democracy and lead fcrlorn hope of Jeffersonians to victory. h the old days he was distinguished, in his manners and oratory, so much above his fellows as to gain some reputation as an expert in the use of Samson forceful weapon. Perhaps 1t will not be amiss to call him "The Knight of the JGwbone." I believe his admiring disci- ples claim that since the days of Balaam tlI now his equal has not been known. It looks like, when he appears in public, trough should be provided for wa tering' him. That would reduce the in- surance on pitchers. 1 reckon 1t will be well '0 distinguish the first of these Doc tors of Democracy as the Knight of the Teat," from his very pronounced dis position to hold on to one till he fastens to another.
 Intelligent men are apt to class these Doctors with my old friend. Bob Stag gers, who, ranting about Democracy, was asked What Is Democracy?' said, Damned if 1 know. but believe in 1t. I feel sure that both of 'em (the Doc tcrs). could teach Democracy-if they knew it.
 Long ago, in Judge Douglass time, fellow out West was holding a corner grocery audience spellbound, explaining the beauties of "Sqpatter Sovereignty. A gentleman, attracted to the place by the earnestness, the eloquence and the great learning of the spellbinder, inqur- ed. My friend, what is Squatter Sow el eignty?' Why" said he, "Squatter Sovereignty Is ais a, why, everybody ought to know. Is a, why it's a sovereign ty what squats!' l always think of that bright fellow in connection with the Knight of the Teat' and the Knight of the Jawbone."
