edio give publicity to thes in
order that pur reader nay hare
a chance to give their Tiewt to
the committee. It eeema to ns
tbataeoaton thoold already un-
deratand.the wiahea of their con-
8titent on thia tobject but as
this ia the only opportunity for a
"hearing" the farmers will hare
we give below the list of questions
addressed to agriculturist:
1. .What is the character of
your product!
2. Do similar foreign products
compete with yours?
3. What would be the effect
upon your product of a reduction
of duty on imports of all kinds!
4. Have the wages which you
pay labor increased or decreased
within the past two years!
5. To what extent does
State export agricultural
ducts!
C. What competition do
your
exports meet abroad!
7. To what extent in your
opinion are the prices and char-
acter of your products affected by
the manufacturing industries of
your State?
8. Have your living expenses
increased or decreased during the
past four years?
9. Please give your views on
the proposition to restore sugar
to the dutable list?
10. Do the present duties ben-
efit in any respect people en-
gaged in growing agricultural
products and staple; and if not
how can they be so modified as
to produce this result!
11. State generally anything
which you believe would be use-
ful to the committee in preparing
tariff legislation?
The committee announces a de-
sire for a full expression of views
instead of merely answering the
questions categorically. Those
of our readers who Wish to im-
press their views upon the United
States senate should answer these
questions and send them to the
senate finance committee at Wash-
ington. Let the tariff question
be settled some way so statesmen
may be able to get about solving
the financial question the para-
mount issue before the people.
An Optical Illusion.
Jf you want a good ending to a
little party. take all the guest into
the diningroom and turn out the
gas. Make them all sit around
the table in the middle of which
place a soup plate. In the soup
plate put some conlnion salt and a
little alchohol. Light the alco-
hol and look at each other's faces.
They will look natural at first but
as the alcohol burns out and the
salt becomes ignited the ilame
changes from yellow to blue and
the changes in the laces are very
startling. They all take on a
ghastly look. Eyes stick out and
the skin looks as though drawn
tight like parchment. Then the
faces become almost black and
when the flame dies out and you
go out in a lighted room you un-
consciously try and wipe the
black off. But it doesen't come.
It:s all the light from the salt.

Undoing an Insult.
Colonel Gilbert Pierce the late
minister to Portugal once picked
up in his arms a young lady who
stood hesitating at the corner oi
the street in an Indiana village
unable to cross it because a show-
er had filled it with a rushing
torrent of water. The young
lady submitted without protest
while the colonel strode gallantly
through the torrent until he de-
posited his fair charge on the
sidewalk with dry feet. "Sir!"
she then said indignantly "are
you aware that you have insulted
me!"
"I was not aware of it" replied
the colonel ;but seeing you are
right I beg to make amends."
So saying he picked up the pro-
testing damsel and restored her
to the point where he had first
made her acquaintance.
Ecratny aad Strength
Valuable vegetable remedies are used
in the preparation of Hood's Sarsaparil-
la in inch a peculiar manner as to retain
the fall medicinal value of every ingred-
ient. Thai Hood's Sarsaparilla com-
bines economy and strength and is the
only remedy of which "100 Poses One
Dollar" is true. Be sure to get Hood's.

Hints on Poultry.
Oats are excellent for laying
hens.
Steamed rice is good for young
chicks.
Geese should never be picked
in cold weather.
A good hen should lay at least
140 eggs during the year.
Goslings grow more rapidly
than any other bird.
It is necessary to feed meat in
some form during the winter.
Egg eating is apt to be devel-
oped by too close confinement.
Puddles are not the proper
sources of water supply for chick-
ens. Sugar beets carrots and turnips
are good winter food for poultry.
If turkeys are carefully manag-
ed they are profitable on any farm
Cochins mated with game or
brown Leghorn cocks make good
crosses.
The water given poultry during
the winter should have the chill
taken off.
Bright combs are a sure indica
tion of good health and freedom
from disease.
Tame chickens will lay more
eggs and take on flesh faster than
half wild ones.
Your chicks are growing rapid-
ly now and should not be crowd-
ed in their night quarters.
When hens are moultiag the ac
cumulation of feathers should be
cleared out at least once a week.
Egg foods are those which con-
tain lime for the shell albumen
for the white and carbon for the
yolk.
Chickens cannot be crowded to-
gether in large numbers without
breeding disease.
The Black Minorca lays the lar-
gest egg among the Spanish fowls.
The white flesh of the Lang-
shans makes them desirable meat.
Dorkings are valuable for cross-
ing on other breeds where com-
pactness of form is desired.
Geese feather more rapidly
where they have an abundance of
fresh water and run on a green
pasture.

torio at the tf me of the recent Italian
Cabinet crisis and the projected new

Mn. Sprad'sDlitfpiixit).
Sailors are Mid to be more su-
perstitious than other men and it
is certain that their journeyings
round the world .they gather
many strange fancies. Ambrose
Sproul known in his native vill
age as "Cap'n Am" was no excep-
tion to the rule says the Youth's
Companion. His head was full
of notions of the strangest and
most foolish sort. He was pos-
sessed too by a spirit of indo-
lence. So much all the neighbors
knew and good Mrs. Sproul a
loving and faithful wife often
found herself called upon to ex-
tenuate and apologize for his
shortcomings in the eye of the
public.
"Cap'n Am is puticly willin' to
work when he gits started" she
would often say ':but I have to
tackle him oncommon severe to
him."
After a time however it was
noticed that Cap'n Am had mend-
ed his ways and grown all at once
very industrious. When Mrs.
Sproul was spoken to about the
matter she gave the following ex-
planation: "You see that ole lean-to on our
house has needed shinglin' for a
good spell and I had said every-
thing to the cap'n to have him do
it. But he kep' pntterin' round
and puttin' me off.
"He'd say when it was fair it
didn't need shinglin' an' when it
rained he couldn't do it. Some
days he'd git ready to go to work
an' he'd remember he saw a crow
flyin' alone bein' a sure sign of
foul weather or else they were
flyin' in circles an' callin'.
"Sometimes it was that he'd
dreamt of bein' in deep water an'
then he wouldn't trust himself on
the ruf for tear of accident.
"Well one day he got fairly -to
work an' I begun to hev hope when
all of a sudden an owl flew round
the barn three times and hooted.
Down came Ambrose off the ruf
and hurried into the house. 'It's
comin' a terrible hurricane!' he
says. 'An owl hooting in day-
light is a sure sign!'
"Iv'e got a tol'ble good temper
but I must say I was riled. I
didn't spurt out though but jest
left my work and tuk a book to
read. I kep' readin' an' by and
by the cap'n says 'ain't it 'bout
time for mess?7
"I looked up kind of surprised
an' says I: 'We don't want to
bother much 'bout eatin' in sech
a ter'ble gale as this.'
"About 2 o'clock he got him-
self some bread and milk but he
never driv another nail. I didn't
git any regular supper an' the
next mornin' I did'nt get up. I
said I dreamt of a white horse an'
it was a sure sign of death an' I
wanted to go decent in my bed
while I was prepared.

go over to the upper deestric' to
the circus -but I said the chick-
ens crowed before sundown an'
it was an indication of sudden
tornadoes.
"Well 'bout 10 o'clock I heered
the shingles slappin' onto the
lean-to lively an' then I got
an' prepared a good meal

up
He

seemed oncommon soci'ble.
"That's all" she said after a
moment's silence in which she
smiled to herself. "Sence then
he's been difFrent. When he has
a job to do he goes at it an' all
the crow-flyin' an' owl-hootin' in
two counties couldn't skeer him
into stoppin'."

"If I want to get off at Seventy-
second street" said the man with
the brown valise "can I go on
this train?"
"You can sir" answered the
jaunty brakeman.
Half an hour later the. train
whizzed by Seventy-second street
at a 30-mile gait.
"I thought you told mc you
stopped at this station!" exclaimed
the man with the brown valise
sharply.
"Oh no!" answered the jaunty
brakeman pleasantly. "You asked
me.if you could goon this train.
Anybody can go on this train.
Auburn Pa-a-a-rk!"
This was why the jaunty brake-
man got a letter next day. from
the superentendent of. the road
expressing regret that the compny
would be compelled to get along
without his services from that
time forth.

Mor Tangled LItm. .
Johnstown Feb. 13-Fifty
years ago Peter Sharbarugh and
Annie Noel were married. The
families of both were among the
pioneer settlers of Cambria coun-
ty and their names have been hon
orably connected with many of
the important developments of
its history during the present
century. Soon after their mar-
riage the young couple settled on
a farm near Carrol) ton. They
were happy industrious thrifty
and amassed a handsome fortune.
Yesterday in accordance witn
their own fixed purpose strength
ened by the advice of friends and
relatives they seperated to live
the rest of their lives apart. To
his wile Mr. Sharbaugh signed a
quit claim deed for the old home-
stead where they had lived fifty
years together and where their
children grew to manhood and
womanhood. For himself the old
gentleman took a sufficient sum of
ready money to maintain him in
plain comfort during . the rest of
his life. The parting scenes in
view of all the circumstances
were intensely dramatic. Shar-
baugh is 71 years old and the
wife 70. His "trapg" had been re-
moved from the old home and
his grip packed with immediate
necessaries of a homeless man
sat behind him while the final pa
pers were drawn up and signed in
the presence ol friends and child-
ren. Then the old man without
a home in the twilight of his life
quietly took up his gripsack and
crossed the old home threshold
for the last time. Where he went
nobody seems to know. The
children of Mr. and Mrs. Shar-
baugh are among the most promi
nent people in Cambria county the
sons being wealthy business men.

negative and the missionary asks
the reason.
"Becaise" comes the reply "it
it so difficult. You ' must speak
to her."
The aussionary then calls the
young woman to him and says:
aI think it is time that you marry."
"But" she replies "I do not
wish to marry."
hat is a pity" adds the mis-
sionary "as I have a husband for
you."
"Who is he!" asks the maiden.
The missionary names the can-
didate for her love.
aBut he is not worth anything.
I will not have him."
However" suggests the mis-
sionary "he is a good fellow and
attends well to his' house. He
throws a good harpoon and he
loves you."
The Greenland beauty listens
attentively but again she declares
.that she will not accept the man
as her husband.
"Very well" goes on the mis-
sionary "I do not wish to force
you. I shall easily find another
wife for so good a fellow."
The missionary then remains
silent as though he looked upon
the incident as closed. But in a
few minutes she whispers; "But
if you wish it "
"No answers the pastor; "only
if you wish it. I do not wish to
overperauade you."
Another sigh follows and the
pastor expresses regret that she
cannot accept the man.
"Pastor" she then breaks out
"I fear he is not worthy."
"But did he not kill two whales
last summer while the others
killed none? Will you not take
him now?"
"Yes yes; I will."
"God bless you both" answers
the pastor and he joins the two
in marriage.

The man who advertises for a
wife on the grounds that he has
no time to do his courting has no
time to be good to a wife when he
has one.
