Fresh Eggs Winter,

The poultryman who can supply fresh
eggs in winter, when prices are high, has
a tremendous advantage over the one
who through ignorance or neglect has to
wait until summer, when the supply is
large and the price low Not everyone
can do this, and no one can do it unless
he takes proper care of his fowls and
gives them food containing the essential
reproducing ingredients which, when
running at large, the hens can supply
themselves to a large extent in summer
There is no material better fitted for this
purpose than Pages Perfected Poultry
Food" George F. Tanner of Springfield
VT, has used and sold this food for
many years. and he speaks from exper-
fence when he says, in a recent letter:
For several years have sold and used
Pages Perfected Poultry Food and do
not hesitate to say that think it is one
of the best foods on the market to make
hens lay. Shall be pleased to handle it
for you again this season"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to c. S. Page, Hyde Park, Vt, for his
booklet, Profitable Poultry" 1t will
be sent free, postpaid, to anyone men
tioning this paper.

ADE BETS ON A HORSE.

New York Correspondence Cincinnati

 George Ade, the Indiana humorist, vis- ited the race track the other day, in company with Helen Green, the clever est writer in New York, who, some peo- pie think, has Ade outclassed writing for the show money. Mrs. Green is said to be responsible for this story of MT. Ade's speculative tribulatons. George got tip from Lee Harrison" she said, lon horse named Tony Bonero or something like that He'll win sure the next time out said Harrison Be sure to get a bet down on him. So Ade said he would He's trustful that way. One morning MT. Ade picked up the paper, and saw Bonero's name entered in the fourth race. I'll play him. said George to himself. And he put on his best black suit and went to the track He waited until the horses were called to the post for the fourth race before he made his bet, for he had actually observed that the odds were lengthening. Then friends came in, and engrossed his attention. He only learned, in dim sort of way, that there nau been SOIue ueldy dt lHe post. oO1ne time afterward he walked out on the lawn, to see people hanging over the fence in wild excitement. Down the stretch the field came galloping. Off in front was Tony Bonero, easily recogniz- able by his riders colors. The boy was flogging like mad, although he was a dozen lengths ahead of the field Mir. Ade beat new straw hat to a frazzle, and shrieked Come on, you Bonero, un- til he was black in the face. Bonero finished lengths in front of the field, but to MT. Ade's astonshment the riders on the other horses were riding as hard as ever. What they doing that for?' he asked, pevishly.

to arbitrate five American claims. The President sent all the correspondence concerning them to Congress, but ad- Journment came without action upon them. this left the entire subject in the hands of the state department, which has at length decided to ignore officially Venezuela for time. In the long run settlement of these claims on some basis will be forced, and a clash at arms may come, but no such action is to be taken at pres ent No crisis, therefore, exists in Venezuelan matters. The bridge is not to be crossed until we are forced 10 do it.
 France and Colombia, which borders on Venezuela, have severed diplomatic relations with Venezuela, and Hol- land is engaged in dispute with the irresponsible Castro. Great Britain has long-standing claims, and a reyo- lution is brewing in Venezuela, not to mention the outbreak there of the plague. Altogether Castro has plenty of business to attend to, including decreasing commerce and government tai revenue. So long as our citizens in Venezuela is not maltreated the ad- ministration seems inclined to await events-to let Castro have all the rope lie needs, and perhaps this Is the bet ter policy, all things considered.

FACTS ABOUT TAPEWORMS
Their Source Had Long Puzzled Scient
 ists Until Sebod Discovered 1t.

Dr. William Hanna Thompson, in the
 July Everybody's.
 A German named Von Siebold made himself a specialist on tapeworms, and in the course of his researches discovered that cats and owls were infested with exactly the same kind of tapeworms. He then cogitated on what the bird and the cat could possibly have in common, and concluded that 1t could be only in the single matter of diet, namely, that both ate mice. He proceeded then to investi- gate mice, and found in some of them not tapeworms, but great number of minute bag-shaped creatures now called cysticerci, which had burrowed into their flesh. These had as little resemblance as possible to tapeworms, which may be 20 feet long. He then fed the meat of such unfortunate mice to dogs, pigs, and chickens, and in due time, To! all three grew the same tapeworms with those of cats and owls. The commonest kind among our tapeworms comes from eating beef not sufficiently cooked to kill the cysticerci in it.

ChiCagO'S Wheel Tax

Chicago has a wheel taX-that is to say, it levies for the purposes of street repair and maintenance a tax upon every wheel that is rolled upon it's streets. This tax is collected from carriages and automobiles as well as from wheeled vehicles used for busi ness purposes.
 The tax is new in Chicago, and it's constitutionality was questioned, but the supreme court of Illinois has de- cided that Chicagos wheel tax ordi- nance is valid and constitutional.
 A reasonable wheel tax seems to be just, for the streets are maintained to accommodate wheeled vehicles, just as the sidewalks are kept in repair for the use of foot passengers. It is not feasible to tax foot passengers, but Chicago finds wheel tax wholly prac- ticable, and it rejoices over the fact that it's new ordinance has been up- held by the highest court of the state.

publican candidate of their loyalty to his cause.
 '"The minister who had been chosen as spokesman failed to appear and as the visitors met Mir. Blaine coming down the grand stair Dr. Burchard was put for ward to make the speech He stood on the landing and delivered what was ap- plauded by some of those present as a felieitious address, but which turned out to be boomerang. In the course of his remarks the speaker said the democrat ic party stands for Rum. Romanism and Rebellion. The alllteration was all right, but what was intended to draw votes away from the democracy had just the opposite effect. Up to 1884, the Irish Catholics of New York had lined up sol- idly with the democratic party but MT. Blaine. by reason of his lingo attitude against England, had won over to him. self a large part of the Irish vote. The reference to rum changed no votes, nor did the fling at the south, for the south was already soldly democratic. But the fling at the Roman Catholic church lost thousands of votes from Blaine to Cleve- land. Had 1t not been for Burchard's speech MT. Cleveland would have been defeated. As it was, he carried New York by only a thousand and eighty odd yotes,'

The Burchard Incident,

''In recalling the presidential campaigns since I became voter in 1872, that of 1884, in which Blaine and Cleveland were the opposing candidates, was more crowd ed with noteworthy incidents than any of the others, although the counting out of Tiden. the democratic standard bearer in 1S76 was attended by much bitterness in the south" said a man who kept ;n touch with affairs.
 From the time the campaign of 1884 opened, hardly week passed without an exciting episode. Cleveland needed New York in order to win, That state and Indiana were the great battle grounds, but the latter was felt by the democrats to be safe, and it was safe. But New York was from all indications safe for Blaine The week before the election the republicans practically had New York by a good majority. But the Rev. Dr. Burchard, a Presbyterian divine and staunch partisan of MT. Blaine. made little speech three or four days prior to the battle of the ballots that turned the tide and caused Blaine's defeat A body of Presbyterians-it was the New York presbytery if I remember aright-calleG on Mr. Blaine at the Fifth Avenue hotel to pay their respects and assure the re-
