John T. Daly has been quoted as stating that he has decided to work against the democratic party, but he still wants to remain in that organiza- ton. If MT Daly meant this he leaves himself open to the selfsame charge in politics which many allege againsB him in industrial affairs.

HEN THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS.
Product of Faithful Chicken Exceeds
That of Gold and Silver.

In an interesting compilation Of
poultry statistics, Secretary Wilson of
the department of agriculture says
the value of the annual egg product
of this country exceeds that of the
combined output of gold and silver
The poultry and eggs produced and
consumed last year in this country
alone were worth more than all the
gold and silver produced in the world
in the corresponding period, except
in the years 1S9S-99.
In the last year from which Stats
tics are available, no less than 81 ,290,-
000.0 dozens Of eggs were produced
in the United States. This provides
for the consumption of 203 eggs by
every man, woman and child, and
makes the value of the eggs S1.89 a
head. Except for the year 1900. the
egg product of this country has eX-
ceeded in value that of the combined
gold and silver output for every year
since 1850. The same statement is
true of the poultry product, with the
exception of the years 1870 and 1900.
A train of cars sufficluAt to carry
the total annual egg production would
be 86S miles long. 1t would reach
from Washington to Chicago and have
several miles of cars to spare. Whil1
the leading state in many industries,
New York is surpassed by half dTz.
en- states in regard to the egg end
poultry production. Iowa carries off
the honors as the banner state in the
business by furnishing three years ago
99,000,000 dozens, worth more than
$10,000,000. Despite the onornity of
the poultry business in this country,
there is still large demand for for
eign eggs and chickens.
Mr.. Wilson gives encouragement to
all who contemplate going into the
business. He says an income of 400
percent may be made by judicious
management. The estimated number
of chickens in the country is 250,000,-
900, producing for market in one year
poultry worth $136,00O.00O and eggs
valued at $144,000,000, a total value
OF $3.50, 000,0 00.-New York Sun.

Widows.

A Chicago mathematician announces
that Chicago, with 60,396 widows, has
a larger number than any other com
munity in the country. 1t is added that
the number of wi1owers in the city is
only 23,O97.
AS a matter Of fact, the state in
which widows are most numerous is
New York, in which they number $780,
900. The city in which they are most
numerous is the city of New York,
where there are 100000
There were by the last federal CEN
sus 2.720,000 widows in the whole
United States, of whom, it is not worthy
to remark, $4,000 were in Indiana and
only 5000 in Utah.
There were $4,000 in Massachu.
sets, less than the total number in
the two states of Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, though the view pretty gen.
orally prevails that the number Of
widows is disproportionately large
throughout New England.
There are nearly 1000 in Hawaii and
100 in Alaska, a proportionately larg.
err number than in the city of Chicago
New York Sun.

Where Labor Is Pensioned.

Last year New Zealand gave pen,
sions to 1875 wage workers who are
too old to work The law is that any
man of good reputation who is IS years
of age, and who has less than $3.50
a year, shall be given $50 by the gov
eminent. The system has been ip
operation for four years, so that it is
no experiment The total of these
pensions is only $1,0S5,960 a year, and
in return for it nearly 10000 carpen-
ters, farmers, laborers, clerks, etc,
are made comfortable in their old
age.

ers, who was Jumping" along pro-
visions, a long way behind his com.
panions, was staggering along with
bowed neck and eyes, when he almost
ran into a moose coming toward him.
AS the moose caught sight of him the
! big fellow turned tail and the man
singing off his burden and swinging
round his rife with one movement
took snap shot at It,
Fortunately he missed, for the
moose instantly stopped and turned
to see what all the noise was about.
The second shot, fired as the moose
presented its quarters, took effect in
the lungs, and the wounded animal.
wheeling again, ran along it's old track
at full speed until it very nearly
charged into the other members of the
party, who were returning to seek
their friend, and who gave it its quiet
us in fusillade of bullets.
Just at this time of year a dog is
very useful to the experienced moose
hunter. 1t must be small. and ought
to be trained to keep silence until at
the very heels of the moose
Often, though not always, the lordly
brute refuses to be chased by a mere
cur, like one of the Indian dogs gener-
ally used in this business. Turning
around, it tries to crush the yelping
beast with it's great forefoot
The dog, with the perversity of its
breeding, sticks to the rear of the
moose, and curious teetotum move
ment is the result. The hunter i'm
mediately gets to the windward when
he hears the barking of the dog and
with the greatest caution endeavors to
get to the seat of action as quickly
as possible.
The moose is well known to be of
an irascible temperament and soon
works itself into a rage if unsuccess-
full in it's attempts upon the life of
the dog. But though very demon Of
bad temper at such time, it's senses
are generally on the alert against
other dangers.
If the wind should bring to it's ears
or scent any sign of the presence of
men, no mere cur will hinder it's
fight toward safety The hunter gen
orally has to take long chances at such
times, and nearly always has to make
long shots at the rapidly whirling
moose. AS rule, none but the most
experienced woCdsmen ever kills
moose with the help of setter.

Dora nudged him and he was silent.
After the performance, when they were
in restaurant, she gave him a sound
scolding. He promised to do better.
But that wos no easy matter to bring
about. He was indeed hopeless.
Dora lost all pleasure in her engage
ment. She always feared that fire
alarm or an ambulance might destroy
a kiss or an embrace and cause Bub-
bles to fee. Every day she grew more
nervous, and when on her birthday,
Bubbles came three hours late to a
cold dinner because he had been pres
ent at a great fight on the west side of
the city, her decision was made The
day after, Bubbles received a letter
from Dora which said:
"Sir: You are without doubt just as
excellent a reporter as you are totally
unfit for an engaged man. Return to
the Daily Steam Whistle. That is your
wife"
When Bubbles read the letter he
scratched his red head and said:
Poor Dora! But she is right. l am
no good as fiance. IF l had only not
gone with Crane to Mamaronegg! That
poetical donkey got me into it."
Then my friend Bubbles returned to
the Steam Whistle and wrote a humor-

LITERATURE AND WALKERS.
Where Many Writers Drew Their
Lnsprations.


Inspirations.
If one comes to think of it, how much
literature owes to the country walk,
writes Arnold Haultain in Atlantic
Monthly. 1t was to that long walk
outside the wall of Athens and to the
long talk of Socrates held with PhaeN
drus under the plane tree by the banks
of the Iissus that We owe one of the
most beautiful Dialogues of Plato.
There had been no Georges had not
Virgil loved the country. Horace must
as often have circumambulated his
Sabine farm as he perambulated the
Via Sacra. Chaucer must sometimes
have pilgrimed afoot, and Spenser
trode as well as pricked DER the plain. +,
Shakespeare poaching episode gives
us glimpse into his youthful pur-
suits. Milton oft the woods among
wooed Philomel to hear her even
song; and even after his blindness
not the more ceased he to wander
where the muses. haunt clear spring,
or shady grove. or sunny HILL The

ert Louis Stevenson's Travels in the

many minds walks about the green fiat
meads of Oxford have been a quiet
stimulant we may get hint from
Matthew Arnold. Was it to Newman
that Jowett. meeting him alone and
afoot, put the query; "Nunquam
minus solus guam quinn solus?" OF
Jowett's walks many tale is told;
of De Quincy, who spent his youth in
wanderings; of William Cowper, th9
gentle singer of the winter walk: OF
Thoreau of Mr.. John Burroughs; of
the prince of walkers. Of whom The
Spectator said it was half pity that
such a man could not go walking
about forever, for the benefit of peo-
pie who are not gifted with legs so
stout and eyes so discerning"-I mean

AT EVENING

Thus as I stood, bereft OF Hops
A light came from afar,
Uncertain first 1t shone on me-
The first faint Evening Star.
oh, little star of hope and love,
Ascendant in the sky,
Sending your message pure and sweet
To wanderers such as i.
The moon rose from her silver couch
The grayness passed away,
The path across the restless sea
Was clear as in the day.
The star has bid me trust again,
And bow beneath the rod.
The moonlight shows the road Is rough
That leads the way to God.
