When full grown, Rhode Island
Red Hens average : to 9 pounds

continue laying They are good
hustlers and bughuntere and require
less feed than common chickens.
They lay big brown eggs, are en-

GOV. Johnson and the Tariff.

The recent declaration Of Gov.
Johnson IF Minnesota, III favor Of
tariff revision, has been favorably
commented upon by Democratic
leaders throughout the country.
THE Minnesota Executive is now
recognized as a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination
next year, and his public utter
auces are therefore commanding the
close attention Of the politically
wise. lie has made very clear his
belief that the tariff and the trusts
are To- he the paramount issues in
the next campaign
Gov Johnson s utterances upon
both these subjects conform square
~ and truly to long-estahlished
Democratic principles. The Ding
Icy tariff was long ago branded as
the mother of trusts, and Republi-
cam ingenuity has never succeeded
in cfIacing the marks OF the brand
ing iron, though other issues have
-ub0rdinated the tariff question to
some extent in recent campaigns,
and the Republican pledges to chas-
tise the trusts, coupled with the
material prosperity Of the last few
years, have caused the voters tC
overlook or to underestimate the
importance of the tariff issue.
President Roosevelt's efforts to
destroy the trusts, while they have
SO far failed Of any important sue
cess, have furnished indisputable
evidence Of tine Illegal trust prac-
tices-evidence sufficient to CON
vince both judges and juries-and
the public is determined as never
before to get ut these combina-
tons. That the special privileges
accorded 10y the high protective
tariffs of the Dingley bill are direct
ly responsible for the overgrowth Of
many of these pernicious organiza-
tions no one doubts. Certain of the

The PRISON BIRD.

This African Beauty Seals His Mate
Up In the Nest.
The popularity Of the prison bird, a
fcathered beauty Of Africa, is that
he is the most tyrannical and jealous
Of husbands, imprisoning his mate
throughout her nesting time. Living
stone watched the birds habits while
in Monpour and in his subsequent OBJ
servatiOns referred TO the nest as a
prison and the female bird as a slave.
The nest is built in the hollow Of a
tree through an opening In the bark.
AS soon as it as completed the mother
bird enters carefully and fearfully and
settles down in it. Thea papa walls
up the opening, leaving only just space
enough for air and food to pass through.
He keeps faithful guard and brings
food at regular intervals without fail.
The female thrives under her enforced
retirement But II the prison bird is
killed OF in any other way prevented
from fulfilling his duties the mother
and her little ones must die Of starva-
ton, for she cannot free herself from
bondage.

1t was found also that two cigars OF
the same brand and strength often
produced differing degrees Of discolora-
ton Of the cotton. Further investiga-
ton showed that these differences were
due to the length OF time occupied in
