The Almost Manlike Rooster.

BOOSTERS, it is well-known, often call
up hens, and give them morsels of food
that they have found. Farmers claim
that roosters only do this out of sell
fish motives-only do it when they fear
that the morsels are dangerous, pois-
onous, or distasteful.
A Baptist minister of Manayunk
found the other day that the far
mers' claim is true. He was visiting a
friend in the country. 1t was a rainy
day, and outside the window some
fowls were scratching.
The minister threw the fowls few
bread pellets, and of these the cock
took the lions share. Then, the min
lister made a couple of soap pellets and
threw them forth. The cock, rushing
up with greedy cluck. swallowed the
soap pellets one after the other.
Then, in a moment, a change came
oyer his countenance. He gave the
minister a look of disgust and con-
tempt. He retired to a corner of the

camphor as an IIIuminant.

"The lamp is burning very badly.
Have we any camphor?" said the nus
band.
YES" said the wife. Here is
lump. What do you want with it?"
Il want to get the Illuminating power
out of it. I want to make it help to
light the room?"
"Camphor light a room?''
yes. Watch
He unscrewed the metal top upon
the mouth of the lamp bowl, and he
dropped the piece of camphor into the
oil.
The effect was remarkable. The
lamp Immediately gave so per cent
more light. 1t was as though another
smaller lamp had been brought into
room.
"A piece of camphor, dropped into a
lamps reservoir" said the man, may
always be counted on to increase the
light half as much again."

COFFEE AND TEA UNTAXED.
Serene E. Payne Says Beer Tax Will

revenue tax on beer is nonsense There
is no necessity for changing the present
revenue raising laws in order to get
more money. The treasury has plenty
Of money as things are
This statement was made by Repre-
sentative Serene Payne, chairman of
the house committee on ways and
means. Chairman Payne says there is
no occasion for the business world to
give itself uneasiness over stories of
tariff legislation printed at the period
of the year. That matter, he explained,
was settled for the time being at the
conference at the White House dur
ing the recent session of congress.
Since then leaders in the house and
senate have given no attention to the
subject.
Speculations about possible changes
INDUCED in by outsiders is of little i'm
port in the judgment of Chairman
Payne. He says:
THE condition of the treasury ought
not to alarm anybody. The deficit is
now about s23,0OOOOO, and this will be
reduced to $4,000 900 by the end of
the fiscal year.
II believe that the revenues and re-
ceipts will balance each other next
year and that there will be no deficit
by July, 1906. Hence, there will be no
need to tinker with the laws in order
to raise more revenue.
1.-The deficit of the current year will
cause no embarrass ment, for there is
plenty of money in the treasury to
make it good. So all the talk about
placing duties on coffee and tea, and
adding to the tax on beers and malt
preparations is mere idle gossip"

choked for some ten minutes.
BY that time he was well. He shook
himself and looked about Seeing that
the hens were still being fed with
bread pellets, he joined them again
and again he ate all the pellets that
were thrown forth.
The minister made some more soap
pellets and mingled them with the pei
let's bread. The soap pellets, it was
plain, the rooster remembered. He
examined them. He smeIt them. One
by one, he took them in his bill. If
they We're bread, he ate them himself.
If they were soap, he distributed them
among his wives with great affecta-
ton of generosity, calling each lady up
in turn as her predecessor retired. His
invitations were clearly to be regarded
as royal commands, and any hesitation
on the part of a lady who, having
tasted soap once, was 10th to repeat
the experiment, was treated as a Sc
rious offense. Perhaps twenty soap
pellets were shared impartially among
a half-dozen hens.

ANIME RECORDS FOR ALL
PROPERTY ESCHEATABLE.
Will Send Special Agent to Every
County In the State of
Washington.

In every county in the state of Wash
ington the records will be searched for
evidence showing that estates Of de-
ceased persons dying without heirs,
under the general law of escheat be-
long to the state and should be sold
and the proceeds thereof converted to
the permanent school fund for the
benefit of the schools of the entire
stateI This work will be inauguratei
within a short time by Attorney-Ge
eral John D. Atkinson and the cam
paign will be pushed vigorously in
every county in the state where there
are estates liable to become escheatei.
In brief this is the statement made
by the attorney general at Seattle re-
Gently.
In King county, the policy of the
states legal department, as outlined
by Attorney General Atkinson, will be
that the estates left by Nellie Lawton,
Lou Graham and John Sullivan belong
to the state and in time must be sold
and the proceeds placed to the credit
of the states permanent school fund.
Gen. Atkinson made this brief state
ment.
THE state will prosecute vigorously
it's appeal from the judgment of Judge
RelI rendered last fall in which the
court held that the county of King
should benefit by the escheating Of the
Lawton estate. We believe that the
court was in error and We shall ask
a reversal by the supreme court. The
state takes the position also that
whatever arrangement King county
may have made with any special at
torney to escheat the Lawton estate
does not concern the state and that
any expenses incurred thereby is not
a charge against the Lawton estate.
1.-THE states position also is that
there are no bona fide heirs to the
100000 Sullivan estate, and that as
fast as the processes of the courts will
permit that property should become
an asset of the state for the benefit Of
the permanent school fund. This also,
in a word, is the position of the state
with regard to the estate of Lou Ora

of Manners and Native Customs.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The ap-
pointment of w. w. Rocknill to be
United States minister to China is in
line with the presidents policy in filling
these important diplomatic positions
with men Of acknowledged ability and
fitness. This appointment will crafty
Mr.. RockhiIrs greatest ambition. He
is an eminent Orientalist and traveller.
and will doubtless prove himself
useful official. Mr.. Rockhill began his
diplomatic career as secretary to the
American legation in Japan, and it was
then that he became imbued with a de-
sire to make a scientific study of ORR
entail questions. He obtained leave of
absence from Toxic, and set out dis
guised as high priest, with two ma
tive attendants, to reach Lnasa, the
forbidden city. He penetrated farther
into the forbidden country than any
white man had done up to that time,
and was finally put to flight because
one of the provincial viceroys, learn
ing of his mission, set price upon his
head.
AS a special commissioner to Picking
after the Boxer uprising, he was able
to contribute in an important way to
the solution of the delicate problems
which grew out of that affair. OF late
years Mr.. Rockhill has been director
of the bureau of American republics,
where he again proved himself a man
of fine talents an dtireless industry.
