A city councilman from Philadelphia
suggested a very good standard by
which to determine the price which the
city should give for certain property It
wanted. Many offers were made of
land, but the council thought the price
too high. One of the members sug
gested that the valuation for taxing
purposes should be made the basis. It
would seem to be only fair that the
city should pay no more than the val
uation the owner himself put upou It
and paid taxes upon.

No less than fifty-five war vessels,
Including, of course, many small tugs
and torpedo boats, are now being built
for the United States government. Five
of these are war vessels of the first
class. When these are completed our
navy will be third in the list of naval
powers. No doubt we shall continue
to maintain thl3 standing, as the recent
war has shown the need of a strong
navy, both In the Atlantic and on tho
raclfic. What we need quite as much
as a large navy Is the building of more
Tessels for commercial use. The time
has come when we can construct steel
and Iron vessels cheaper than any
other country In the world, as we used
to beat the world In making wooden
hips when Maine forests of pine made
masts that could net be rivaled any

Some advice that should be heeded Is
contained in a report from United
States Consul McCook, at Dawson City.
This report was written on August 4,
and says that prices for provisions are

those of last year), and lodging Is
hardly to be had at any price. Out

HK&iJ SESSION.
Lawmakers of the United States
Meet at Washington.
IMPORTANT MEETING BEGINS.
With tho rrentlge of a Succeaaful Wmr,
ltcuit ami Completed Within Their
Term of Ofllcc, Cougrc-SHiueu Met la
Complacence.
Washington, Dec. 5. Congress reas
sembled today under circumstances of
unusual public interest. The same
congress, eIx mcnths ago, declared war
against Spain, and now, with the war
fought and won, it came together again
for the first legislative consideration
of tho questions developed by the
eventful months Just past.
The spirit of the occasion was not,
however, one of Immediate expectancy,
for the few months left to the exist
ence of the Fifty-fifth congres3 gave
promise of little more than a besin
nlng on the momentous policies and
problem growing out o fthe war.
As usual, all Washington turned its
attention to the capitol for that gala
event which marks the opening day of
a session. The weather imposed no
barriers, for the hurricane of yesterday
gave way to clearing skies and balmy
air.
Long before the noon hour, when tho
senate and house began their work,
the corridors were filled with surging
crowds, centering In the rotunda and
statuary hall, and pushing toward the
private galleries. No evidences re
mained of the explosion and fire which
recently ravaged the building.
By 11 o'clock the leaders began to
make their appearance, and the pub
lic galleries filled rapidly.
Exactly at noon Speaker Reed's
gavel came down with a sharp crack,
the great ebony mace entwined with
silver and F.urmcunted by a silver eagl?,
was lifted Into place upon Its green
marble pedestal, the spreading folds
of American fiag3 were broken to the
breeze about the brilliant stained-glas3
ceiling, and the house of representa
tives entered upon the closing session
of the memorable war congress. The
scene within the great hall was ani
mated, brilliant, and picturesque.
The sea of desks within the brass
rails which cut off the lobbies, spread
ing In semi-circular lines from the
speaker's rostrum like waves from a
center were veritable flower-garden,
a majority of members were lu their
place, while about the encircling gal
leries were banked to the doors with
people. ,
Even the private galleries were
crowded an hour before the hour of
convening. And they contained many
distinguished lu social and official life.
The dainty creations of the milliner's
art and brilliantly puperb gowns gave
color to the picture. Here and there
throughout the throng was an officer
In full unlfrm, an unwonted figure on
the floor and a vivid reminder of the
war.
The floral tributes which the scurry
ing pages bore Into the hall and desks
of those for whom they were destined
were much more numerous than usual.
Some of them were of gigantic size,
completely concealing the recipients.
There were huge baskets of roses,
anchors, horseshoes, and floral pieces
of many designs.
On the opening hours of the last ses
sion of the memorable Fifty-fifth con
gress the senate chamber presented an
animated scene. The galleries were
filled early, many of the spectators be
ing visitors to Washington, who had
embraced the opportunity to witness a
congressional opening.
On the senate floor the scene pre
sented waa unusually brilliant. The
desks of the members were loaded with
magnificent specimens of the florists'
art.
Nothing more 'beautiful or elaborate
In floral displays has been seen In the
senate for many years.
Mr. Morgan of Alabama was the
first senator to enter the chamber, and
closely following him came the octa
genarlan, Mr. Morrill of Vermont. One
by one the members dropped into the
chamber and the floor very soon pre
sented a scene a3 animated as that af
forded by the galleries.
No Violation of Cnimtltut Ion.
London, Dec. C Rt.-IIon. Jame3
Eryce, liberal member of parliament
for South Aberdeen, In reply to a ques
tion whether In hU opinion, the United
States constitution permitted the hold
ing of colonies, said: "I should think
that notwithstanding the language
used by the United States Supreme
court In a famous case more than forty
years ago, the means may be found
whereby the United States may hold
the recently acquired territories with
out violation of the constitution and
without conferring upon them tho
privileges of states or territories for
which they are obviously unfit."
Stop rilffrtiua to Mecca.
New York, Dec. G. The Journal

ca. The edict includes all India, ex
cepting the single port of Chlttagong,
In Bengal, where the medical authori
ties must certify to the health of the

Madrid, Dec. C The government

FAMOUS MAflKSMAN.
Two Btorlen About tho I-U Kerft.
Stewart of the Klxt jr-Nlnth.
Some of the veterans of the etalo
rifle range were sitting around in the
restaurant lobby during the dinner
hour at Creedmoor last week, Indulg
ing In reminiscences. Tim Scully, who
has served up "victuals and drink" at
tho range for the past twenty-ono
years, was speaking: "When Sergt.
Stewart of the Sixty-ninth died last
month," he 6ald, "one of the most fa
mous shots of Creedmoor passed
tway. I remember one day three of us
were standing on the porch out there
discussing off-hand shooting. I sug
gested that a man might make ten
bull's-eye3 on tho expert range, but
could not have a flat sight and hit a
target at 100 yards. Sergt. Stewart
scoffed at the Idea, and, pointing to tho
lignum vltae ball on the top of the flag
staff, 200 feet away, offered to wager a
ten-dollar bill that he could hit It in
three 6hots without using any sight at
all. The wager wa3 laid and Sergt.
Stewart blazed away. At tho first shot
a discussion arose at to whether or
not the ball had been hit. Some of us
said it had and some said it hadn't.
'Well," eald Sergt. Stewart, 'I have two
more shots yet.' The second shot we
all agreed was a miss. The sergeant
pulled up his piece for the third and
last shot, and when he fired, knocked
the ball off the pole. When we picked
It up we found all three bullets Im
bedded in It." It Is aald that on an
other occasion a certain general who
was anxious to become a sharpshooter
was scoring "misses" one after the
other. He was about to give It up in
despair when one of his friends called
Sergt. Stewart to the general's aid.
The sergeant took his position In front
of a near-by target and shot Into tho
general's target, while tho general
had been given a tip to fire over the
fence. The record showed that the
general had made five "bulls," while
many wondered that Sergt. Stewart,
the famous shot, should have missed
his target five times handrunnlng.

THE METEORIC SHOWER.
A Noted Axtronoiuer Give Rome Inter
eating Information.
Professor Asaph Hall, the Univers
ity of Michigan, astronomer, Is speak
ing of the shower of meteors which
occurred recently gives out some In
teresting facts regarding the history
and theory of the phenomena. The
stream first appeared In 1S32 and it
is generally supposed was caused by
the bursting of a comet, the bllllwis
of pieces continuing to make the trip
around the sun. About once In thirty
years the earth crossss the vast
stream a stream so long that it takes
from three to five years for It to pass
a given point, and so broad that the
earth Is from six to eight hours sweep
ing across It. The second great shower
was seen In 1SCC, and the next heavy
shower Is predicted for November,
1699. The stream appeared to come
from the direction of the constellation
of Leo. It attracted attention not only
on account of the number of the me
teors but because of the remarkable
appearance which attended their rush
through space. There was a long
phosphorescent streak behind them,
while the meteors themselves were a
red or orange color. Tho reason that
they were visible was that their ve
locity In coming Into the path of tho
earth was about 28 miles a second and
as the earth was going In almost the
opposite direction with a velocity al
most as great the speed waa sufficient
to set fire to the bodies and burn or
explode them long before they reached
the earth. Although a few stray one3
might have struck the earth practically
no damage was done.

Note on Sllgge.
In an address to California dairymen,
as reported In the Pacific Rural Press,
M. D. Eshleman said:
In filling tho silo, the corn Is cut In
three-quarter-inch pieces, and a scoop
of galvanized Iron placed at the top
end of the elevator drop3 the cut mass
evenly into the silo. A small stream
of water kept running on the fodder,
as It Is carried up the elevator, greatly
assists In making solid the packing of
the wcil-tramped mass. If too much
water Is used, the silage becomes dark
colored, and tho cows do not like the
flavor as well. If too dry, it neither
heats well nor becomes compact, and
dry white mold will be found In patches
all through the silage. When the corn
settles rapidly, the silage la sure to be
sweet, for the air 13 excluded quickly,
therefore silos are made deep, rather
than broad and shallow. The great
sllago crop I3 corn, for while the value
of pit-preserved grass was well known,
it has been the cheapness of corn that
has given the building of Bilos the great
impetus it has received during the past
few years. The Yankee way of grow
ing corn was carried back to the Fath
erland by a German who bad farmed in
the western corn belt, and now many
crops of Indian corn flaunt their beau
ty in tho Euushlne of northern Ger
many. e e
Methods of Siloing. We silo the first
crop of alfalfa, for the purpose of de
stroying the fox tall seeds and pre
venting the cows from bleating on this
early succulent food, for It Is dangerous
as pasture. In a week's time, the Ileld3
that were cut are fit pasture for the
cows. Following the first alfalfa, comes
the oats and pea crop. In August and
September this silage is fed; if the silo
is not emptied in time tho corn Is put
in on top. There Is often silage two
years old In the bottom of the silos, and
it Is as good as ever; however, we try
to feed It cut every year if possible, as
the silo walls should be allowed to dry
and the Inside lining be protected by
a coat of coal tar to prevent the acid
developed In the silage from acting di
rectly on the wood. Sometimes there
Is too much corn for the capacity of the
silos; it Is then cut and loosely stacked
near by, and, as soon as enough silage
has been fed out to make enough room
for It, this corn Is cut, made very wet,
and run in on top. It makes second
rate silage, but is a little superior to
dry fodder for milk production. Early
amber sorghum requires extra care, as
It must be mado wetter and tramped
closer than Indian ccrn. It Is also bet
ter to feed It during cool weather, as
In summer time the top ferments rap
idly, and several Inches will often spoil
between the hours of feeding. Egyp
tian corn stalks do not become tender
In the silo without they are almost rot
ten and worthless for the cows.
Spaying of Cows In Switzerland.
The spaying of cows, says British
Dairy Farmer, is an operation that Is
being resorted to with Increasing fre
quency in the Swiss cantons of Vaud
and Geneva, where It has now received
a kind of official sanction, In that, after
each operation, the veterinarian makes
a distinctive silt In the left ear of the
cow that has been spayed, and sends
a declaration to the district Inspector
of animals. This official then registers
the cow as boeuve, and Indicates the
animal as such in the certificate of
health which Is Issued in connection
with tho sale of the animal or trans
ference to an abattoir. The operation
Is not universally successful, though,
owing to the employment of antiseptic
measures, losses are very rare. With
regard to the effect of spaying upon
lactation of milch klne, a diminution
in the yield of milk is habitually no
ticed In the case of very old cows and
of cows which are already in the de
clining stages of the period of lacta
tion. On the other hand, cows that
are spayed at tin time of their fourth
or fifth calf, and shortly after calving,
continue to give a profitable Cow of
milk for twenty-four to twenty-seven
months. As to the quality of the beef
afforded by these Epayed cows, it 13
sufficient to say that butchers are al
ways on the lookout for the boeuves,
which, naturally but not too rapidly
fattened, yield meat of excellent qual
ity. Quick fattening, Indeed, is out of
the question, for it Is obvious that .1
lean cow, spayed perhaps at ten years
old, could not be expected to becomo
boeuf do Paques or, as we should say,
a Christmas beef after a few weeks'
forced feeding.
Duck.
From Farmers' Review: There
were several letters in a recent num
ber of Farm Poultry stating their
views of the low price of ducks, and
whether the low price would te a
permanent one. As a general thing,
they each had the same Idea as to the
cause, and that was less consumption.
Some thought It was partly caused by
tho war scare, causing fewer persons
to go to the seaside summer resorts
for tho summer, as is customary.
Others held that cold storage of ducks
was what did the mischief. Of course
there were large numbers of Western
ducks shipped Into the Eastern cities
to help glut tho market, and some of
these ducks sold for less than cost of
producing them. They all seemed to
think that another year would not be
go bad, and that in a few years the
prices would get to bo quite profitable
again, as there would be many "duck
Mer either go entirely out of the
Wellness, cr cls curtail the production
considerably. Views of such men at
Pollard and Rankin It Is well to heed.
A business view of the case would
be to stick to the ducks. When prices
reach the lowest point thely are bound
to come back to the level, even If they
fall to climb to the highest point. As
a rule the time to go into a certaJo
thing, or to enlarge it is at the tlrno
of lowest prices. Men largely run to
extremes, and if one year their produco
brings very little oZove the cost to
furnish It, they throw it aside and try
something there Is more money In. We
shall continue to raise all the early
ducks possible, notwithstanding the
price. The poultry dressing establish
ment near hero won't lake ducks as a
gift this fall. Wo sold ducks this
year In Juno for 10 cents per pound,
live weight, by shipping them some
150 miles. The drift wa3 about one
sixth of a pound per duck, the expenses
$1.25, and tho cost of feed per pound
was 3 2-5 cents; so, not counting labor,
thero was a nice profit on them. Two
weeks after this one could have re
ceived but five cents per pound. One
must get up in the morning to catch
tho good prices.
Ducks with us hatch well and do
nothing after hatching but grow and
grow. Last year and this year we
lost but two per hundred, so, aside from
labor, there would be money in It
for us to ecII at 5 cents. I would
rather raise six ducks than one turkey,
and four ducks than one chicken, from
tho standpoint of labor and bother.
The worry part of it 13 even more
largely in favor of ducks. The eggs
always hatch well for us, too, and tho
ducks lay well. E. C.
The Mites.
It Is said that everything Is created
for a purpose, but If anyone can ex
plain the use of the "mite" to me I
will be better Informed upon the vari
ous uses cf Insect life than at present.
One thing I know It does for me, It
makes mo keep a cleaner henhouse
than formerly, because If I did not
clean often I fear the myriads of feet
within might walk away with tho en
tire building. Of all pests the "mite"
Is by far tho meanest. They multiply
like the larva of the blue-bottle fly,
of which a great naturalist once 6ald,
"Tho eggs of ten blue-bottle files can
hatch enough maggots to eat up the
carcass of a horse as quickly as a
Hon could do It." So It Is with the
eggs of the frisky little insect. One can
clean them all up, and lo! In the even
ing of the next day their numbers are
legion. For three summers I have
waged war against tho things, with
fire and brimstone, and coal oil, and
ashes, and lime, and many "celebrat
ed" insect destroyers, and yet, when
I would step Inside the houses to gath
er tho egg3, they would swarm over
my feet and hands like a pack of starv
ing wolves. But this, the fourth sum
mer, I determined to purchase no
more "Insect exterminators," but to
try the cheap and ever-handy hot
water bath. This I find to be the most
effective and fatal of all remedies.
Each day scald scald scald. They
cannot withstand hot water, and be
sides It is cheap; even a most persist
ent and determined mite must wilt be
fore the scalding wave, and their num
bers lessen rapidly. Try It, all ye who
are troubled by the little pests.
Butter Plentiful in Colorado. The
Denver Post says that never before in
the history of Colorado have the manu
facturers and dealers in oleo made so
little money as they have during the
past four months. The oleo business
has been practically ruined by the
over-production of butter, and the state
dairy commissioner, whose principal
duties are to see that the oleo laws
are enforced, finds his usefulness gone
for the time being, as a result. Prior
to March 15, oleo was being shipped
Into Denver from Chicago and Kan
sas City by the carload, but nowadays
the changed conditions have caused
the article to be In little or no de
mand at any price. Dairy Commis
sioner Cannon says that the slump in
the oleo market was caused by the
plentiful supply of butter all over the
state.
Legumes In Feeding Rations. The
Storrs Experiment Station of Connec
ticut, basing the statement on many
trials In that state, says that the le
gumes, such as clovers, peas, soy
beans, etc., should be more largely
grown and more largely used In mak
ing up feeding rations. The larger the.
proportion of these nitrogenous coarso
fodders used In the ration, the less will
be the quantity of the concentrated ni
trogenous grain feeds which need to be
purchased and used. In other words,
the more these leguminous crops are
grown and used tho cheaper will be the
ration fed, If the best results are de
sired. Ex.
Training to Balk. Many colts are ac
tually taught to balk, kick, scare and
many other bad habits that render
them almost worthless. This usually
results either from carelessness or try
ing to crowd too much Instruction Into
a little time. Man with all his Intelli
gence requires from two to five years
to become skilled In any trade. Some
never learn. How can we expect the
horse, that Is guided only by instinct,
to know everything after being hitched
half a dozen times? This would be
presuming him to have more sense than
his driver, end many of them have
more horse sense than the driver has
of man sense. National Stockman.
Foreign Dairy Goods In England.
There is not much difference In tho
imports of butter for the eight months
of 1893 and 1S37 respectively; but it is
remarkable to notice even a small de
cline, with larger decreases of mar
garine and cheese. The figures are:
against C18.738 cwt.; and 1.314,773 cwt.
2.175,452 cwt. of butter, against 2,192.
