Surveyor PARIS Charges
and Mr.. Reynolds Denial

Charges, countercharges, accusat ons
and denials concerning the alleged cor
ruption Of government officials and agents
In connection with the sugar trust frauds
continue to fly thick snd fast. The New
York customs house is the storm center
but gradually the roads of inquiry are ap-
parently leading to Washington and il is
not at all improbable that present or
former government officers of positions In
the higher up" class will be called upon
soon to answer specific charges

ington against whom an open attack has
been made is James b. REYNOLDS former
assistant secretary of the Treasury, and

Parr on certain Investigations when ParP
was about to produce damaging evidenlD
against the sugar trust and certain gov
vernment employees. Mr.. Reynolds denied
the Parr charges In toto.
Officials of the Treasury are showing a
disposition to unload most of the blame
for past onenses on the Department OF
Justice. They say if there was any COW
ering up done il was done by that de-
partment In choking off legal action.
In New York Representative Herbert
Parsons. the republican leader, and Will
liam Loeb. jr, collector of the port, have
locked horns. Loeb Is said to have been
instrumental In unearthing a number of

Hints on Hog Raising.

Salt buried a few inches in the
ground in certain spots will attract
the hogs and confine them pretty close
ly to such places.
1t is natural for hog to root, but
If you want to prevent him from do
ing so a simple ring in the snout will
answer the purpose.
1t is a great mistake to mark a hog
by mutilating his ears Better use a
metal tag.
Successful hog raisers will always
have clover or alfalfa pastures for
their animals.
Every hog pasture ought to have an
open shed on high point of ground
for shelter from the hot sun Leave
all sides open so the air can pass over
them.
Keep the pigs growing from the day
they are born until they go to the
Strengthening pen.
The man who imagines that he can
produce fat and lean bacon in streaks
by feeding one week and starving the
next will be disappointed

Woman in Chicken Yard.

September is a good month to look
ready settled upon particular varie-
ty, hint in that direction may be Of
some use. Unless q woman can afford
to keep plenty of help she should not
keep over fifty fowls. I feel that am
writing for the woman who takes care
of her chickens herself, apd to her
would say that if she has the room it
IS good plan to keep small flock of
two varieties-one for broilers or
fricassees and one for laying eggs, and
when 1t comes to the genuine bust
ness, then give me the Black Minor
cas-. The eggs are large and pure
white. The hens are almost perpetual
layers and do not make good moth
ers. The eggs will command the high
est fancy prices, and if your stock is
pure you can sell the eggs for sittings
at prices according to the stock you
keep
The Plymouth Rocks or the Wyan-
dottes are suitable breeds for broil-
ers or for home use l think there is
more money in the selling of eggs to
private customers, or even in the mar
kets, than in broilers. There is less
work and less worry The latter fowl
is good layer if she does not get too
fat, but when this occurs make a pot
pie of her.

CURED ITCHING HUMOR.

Big, Painful sweIings Broke and
Did Not Heal-SufTered Three
Years-Tortures Yield TO Cuticura.
Little black swellings were scatter
ed over my face and neck and they
would leave little black scars that
would itch so l couldn't keep from
scratching them. Larger swellings
would appear and my clothes would
stick to the sores. l went to DOCTOR
but the trouble only got worse. By
this time it was all over my arms and
the upper part Of my body In swellings
as large as a dollar. 1t was so pain
full that l could not bear to lie on my
back. The second doctor stopped the
swellings, but when they broke the
places would not heal. | bought q set
of the Cuticura Remedies and in less
than a week some of the places were
nearly well. l continued until l had
used three sets, and now I am sound

those of ducks somewhat larger than
hens eggs, while those Of turkeys and
geese are considerably larger. Guinea
eggs. on an average, measure 17sx1 p
inches, are rather pointed at one end,
and weigh about Ia ounces each, or
II ounces to the dozen. Goose eggs
weigh about 55 to 81 ounces each, or
about 5 pounds to the dozen-that is,
more than three times as much as
hens eggs. The eggs of wild birds are
said to be smaller than those Of the
same species when domesticaeed. Wild
ducks eggs are said to be, on an av-
erage, LOT to PIT inches in diameter;
domestic ducks eggs, 2.36 to 2.56

HFfrstv Mortgages.

By reason of the insistence of many
investors that their bonds be of first"
mortgage 1t may be said that the i'm
portance of the word first" is depend
ent upon the circumstances, says
Moody's Magazine. A bond may be
first in fact; it may be so only in a
relative sense in that it indicates the
order In which the bond was put out
by the issuing company; or the use
of the term first" in the name of the
bond, undesirable and loose though it
be in such instances, may be upon the
slight ground that the mortgage is in
deed first on some part Of the property,
while on other parts 1t may have but
a third or fourth claim. It is there
fore obvious that the mere presence
of this term in title does not neces-
sarily make the bond an absolutely
prior lien. 1t has been estimated that
95 per cent in number and 95 per cent
in value of steam railroad 'firsts" are
first liens in name only.

To Keep Shoes from Slipping.

One often wonders how some girls
walk, even climb mountains, in pumps
ard silk stockings. 1t is not a sensible
think to do. but where ankles are strong
1t may not be particularly harmful if one
can keep the pumps from slipping. One
girl, who is proud of her small feet and
never omits an opportunity to display
them, has told her secret for keeping
her pumps from slipping. She pastes a
piece of black velvet at the back of each
pump. This must be smoothly done that
there is no wrinkle. Only q narrow
strip need be used, though the girl III
question lined the entire back part of
her shoe. The same girl sews narrow
strips OF soft silk the color Of her stock
Ing inside the heel of her stockings just
at the line where the pump rests against
them. This makes the stockings last
twice as long, as low shoes and pumps
rub holes even though carefully worn.

Preserytn e Hints.

The first consideration is a preserv-
ing kettle of brass polished until lus-
trous and with no stain of fruit.
This Is the sort Of vessel used by
the old-fashioned housewife and the
jellies of our grandmothers have never
been equaled.
Porcelain kettles should be dis
carded as soon as they commence to
crack and tin, iron or pewter should
never be used.
The best jelly bag is a long one
made of flannel, which is made in a
point at the bottom.
This should never be squeezed
order to hasten the dropping or
discoloration Of the fruit will result
In selecting fruit the greatest care
should be taken to see that it Is not
oVerripe.
Berries that have been picked more
than "a hours are too old to make
good jelly and preserves.
A cheesecloth bag will be found
useful in straining the fruit through
the colander.

The Apple Barrel.

It stood in the cellar low and dim,
Where the cobwebs swept and sway
ed.
Holding the store from bough and
limb
At the feet Of autumn laid.
And oft, when the days were short
and drear
And the north wind shrieked and
reared,
We children sought in the corner here,
And drew on the toothsome hoard.
(
For thus through the long, long win
time
1t answered our every call
With wine of the summers golden
prime
Sealed by the hand Of fall
The best there was of the earth and
air,
Of rain and sun and breeze,
Changed to a pippin sweet and rare
BY the art of the faithful trees.
A wonderful barrel was this, had we
Its message but rightly heard,
Filled with the tales Of wind and bee,
OF cricket and moth and bird;
Rife with the bliss Of the fragrant
June
When skies were soft and blue;
Thronged with the dreams Of a har-
vest moon
Ger fields drenched deep with dew.
Oh, homely barrel, I'd fain essay
Your marvellous skill again;
Take me back to the past, I pray,
AS willingly now as then
Back to the tender morns and ewes,
The noontides warm and still,
The feecy clouds and the spangled
leaves
OF the orchard over the hill.

it may be easily cut by SO doing
II you overboil potatoes you can

DROVE HIM TO WAR.
Secret of Garibaldfs Leadership of the
March of the Thousand

Papers and documents found in an
old desk once owned by Crispi show
that if it hadn't been for an unfaithful
wife Garibaldi might never have headed
the March Of the Thousand to Sicily.
Just before he entered upon that famous
undertaking Garlbaldl marrled the Mar
Quise Raimondi But on the eve of the
wedding he learned the true character
Of his young bride. He left her at once
and sought his friends to whom he re-
lated the story of his unhappiness, de-
claring that he was going to kill him
self. 1t appears that Medici, one of the
revolutionists, persuaded him to offer
his life on the altar Of patriotism, if he
was willing to quit it. Garibaldi, on re,
Election, thought that the better plan and
organized the March Of the Thousand
that broke the backbone of the Bourbon
in Naples and consequently in Italy.
Garibaldi's marriage to the Marquise
Raimondi was dissolved in 1880, the
court holding that it was illegal.

Acrobatic Stunts in English Bathrooms
Lead IN Disaster


Quite unpleasant contretemps can oc-
cur in a London ballroom, says the Gen.
tlewoman. as witness the adventures Of
two ladies one evening not long ago.
The cotillon was being danced and in
one figure the object was TO jump
through 4 paper loop.
This well known lady succeeded in
doing, only to come violently into COLI
sion with another who was prepared to
precipitate herself through from the 9th
er side At least one black eye and 9TH
er disagreeable results have followed
this inoppOrtune meeting between two
fair but overhasty leaders of fashion.
Apparently the ball room is becoming
second only to the athletic field. 1t was
during the season just closed that no less
a parsonage than Mrs. George keppel.
a favorite with King Edward, came to
grief in dancing the cotilloE.
One Of the figures demanded that the
lady jump the rope, and in essaying this
return to her somewhat distant girlhood
Mrs. Keppel had what was described as
"a nasty fall" which laid her up for
some time.
