REVENUE MARINE.
The Least Known Branch of tho
Revenue Service.
How It was Established and
the Work it Does.
At present tlio United Slates revenue
tnaiino is tlio loast-taiked-of and least-
known branch of tlio revenuo service.
You hear much of tlio campaigns
against moonshiners in Tennessee nud
Kentucky, Hie newspapers retail at
length all obtained information as to
the finding of smuggled goods oif the
persons or in tlio luggage of ocean
passei gers, but mention is seldom
made, and then only < usually, of tlio
revenuo marine. Yet of all brandies
tlio revenue marine is the most inter¬
esting, and renders the most thrilling
service.
It was established in 1798. For
many years after that it was in the
eyes of tlio public constantly, nud its
doings were made the basis of many
an exciting novel. For those were the
days of smuggling of the ancient bold
and life-risking kind. There were
great spreads of canvas and no steam
vessels. Rakish looking craft, built
for speed, hovered about the coast,
awaiting n clmnce to land a cargo of
goods without tlio expense of the
duties. Ami the business of Hie reve¬
nue marine was to sec tiiat the goods
were not lauded, and, if possible, to
catch the smugglers. Ilence aroso sea
fights and land lights, i:i which blood
wcb spilled and a vast quantity of shot
and powder used. So revenue-marine
officers and men had a great reputa¬
tion for bui.el-fncing courage. Be¬
sides, there was all tlio charm of the
sea—the old-fashioned sen, with its
croft stately and ghostly from wide-
stretching sails. And all these things
have passed, leaving only an occasional
yacht race to suggest the glories of the
days that were.
And smuggling, at least that defiant
piratical sort of smuggling. lias passed
also. A* the general public supposed
and still supposes that suppressing
smuggling was the chief end of the
revenue marine, that branch of the
revenue service passed from sight.
And although it has since built up a
new field for itself, equally interest¬
ing and almost as daring as tiie old,
the general public lias not regained
interest. So tho officers and men of
the revenuo marine have done their
deeds of heroism in obscurity, aud
have had only the sati»faction of do¬
ing as a reward. For tho government
pays no pensions to the reveuuc ma¬
rine, not even in time of war, when it
has to co-operate with the navy against
the foe.
To patrol the long coast-line of this
country requires a considerable num¬
ber of vesseis. As the work set for
them to do is of a most important
character, the vessels are of tiie best
possible kind. They are, for tiie most
part, small, compact, cleanly built
•teamers, painted black with white
trimmings, and lying low iu tho
water. Tlieir masts are rakish, and
were it not for tiie very suggestive
looking guns, they might be mlstak«n
for swift steam yachts.
Tiie service is under the treasury
department, and in no way connected
with the navy. The duties are to sup¬
press smuggling, to assist iu distress,
to enforco quarantine laws, to see tiiat
all the rules for tlio government of
ships in United States waters aro
obeyed, which includes tlio suppres¬
sion of mutiny. Tiie sea coast vessels
patrol eacli its own district, and form
a picket line at tlio outer edge of gov¬
ernment jurisdiction, which extends
three marine leagues from tlio shore.
An Important Mip of Paper.
Tiie most important document that
issues from tho United States §ub->
treasury in Wall street is a small print¬
ed slip of paper on which is officially'
stated the daily amount of customs re¬
ceived at the port of New York. Chi¬
cago nor any other city lias anything
to compare with it in tiie niagnitudo
of tlio money figures represented in it,
for it shows tiie bulk of tiie income of
the nnt ion.
Triplicate copies of tiie receipt aro
inode every business day in tiie year
at the sub-treasury. Ono goes direct
to tlio treasury department, another is
sent to the collector of customs us a
voucher and the third is transmitted
to the naval officer. The only reason
known to the officers for sending the
latter officer a copy ib that it is in
accord with an old custom.
Tiie total amount of moneys that
have passed from tiie custom house to
the sub-treasury on tiie official route
to tiie nation’s treasury in tho past 30
years is estimated at three thou-aud
and nine hundred millions of dollars
(thirty-nine billions), a far greater
sum tlmn the entire debt of the conn.
try.— [New York News.

‘•Well, did you get the money from

“No,” said tiie collector, “but he

FOR FARM ANI) HARDEN.
TO PREVENT CAI.VES from sucking.
It is wholly unnecessary cruelty
slit a calf's tongue to prevent it
ing a cow. Tills may most easily
prevented by proper training. A
should never suck a cow, tho cow
calf arc both better for it, and
the troublesome habit is not
ed, nor will tilts calf, when a cow,
acquire the habit of sucking herself.
Hut tho calf may l>c kept from
ing m.Ik by putting a hand around
nose, in which a few wire nail*
driven so as to form a row of
and fastening the hand to a headstall.
The cow will be in no danger
this, as at the first prick she will
off the calf. — [New York Times.
FRAMING AND TRIMMING TOMATOES.
At the Kentucky Station a trial
made with a dozen plants of a
well-known varieties of tomatoes
test the effect of different modes
(rimming and framing. The
ming consisted simply in cutting
five or six of the lower branches
blooming time. It was found that
vines that were trimmed and
produced tlie largest und
fruit.
Vines that wero trimmed and
lying on tlie ground produced
fruit in size hut unsound. Vines
were not trimmed and left lying on
ground produced an abundance
fruit of small size, and unsound vinos.
Vines that were framed and
trimmed produced an abundance
sound f.uil but small.
TO WASH rowr.s.
A soiled and dingy white fowl looks
bad in the show-pen, and tho careful
exhibitor takes pains to have his birds
all in apple-pie order. One who has
practised washing ids fowls for the
show-rooin, gives iu the Fancier the
following as Hie easiest and most sal*
isfaetory method lie lias used:
“Though a simple tiling to do, there
are many who do not understand tiie
operation. However, tho nianv de-
tail§ of waihing niay be all summc d
up in this: Wash in a warm room;
use plenty of warm water (not boil¬
ing) and plain yellow or white soap—
that is. soap free from much alkali.
Put each bird in a tub partly tilled
wiih warm water; use a soft sponge,
and brush from head to tail until the
bird is really clean; then with clear
water rinse every particle of soap
thoroughly out; then with tiie dry
sponge, soft cloth, or towel, wipe the
feather* dry as possible, and set the
birds in tlio sun or a warm room to
dry. Always rub the feathers in tiie
direction in which they grow. Wash¬
ing for tiie show-room i* usually prac¬
tised on white fowls only.’’
THE EGG PLANT.
The egg plant is of tropical origin,
aud for this reason succeeds best at
the South. At tlio North tho chief
difficulty in growing is tho shortness
of the season. It is only by starting
tiie plants early and maintaining a
vigorous growth that tiie large sorts
can be fruited satisfactorily, When
well grown and properly cooked it is
a delicious vegetable. Tlio seed ger¬
minates slowly and should bo started
in a hot bed, aud it is important to se¬
cure a rapid and continuous growth
from the first, as the plants never
fully recover from a check received
when young. When plants are two
inches high they should bo transplant¬
ed into a second bed or into pots.
Secdman Ferry’s directions are:
When tlio plants have formed two
rough leaves, transplant to three or
four inches apart. Keep the bed closed
niul very warm, shading from tlio
direct rays of the sun. Give abund¬
ance of wntcr until tlio ground is
warm, and all danger, not only from
frost but from cold nights, is past.
Then harden off by gradual exposure
to tlio sun. Carefully transplant into
very warm and rich soil, setting tho
plants two and a half feet apart.
Messrs. Bailey & Munson, of tlio
Cornell Station, at Iihaca, N.Y., sum¬
marize tlieir experience in tlio cultiva¬
tion of tlio eggplant as follows: Egg
plants are adapted to cultivation in the
North. The requisites of success in
growing them are these: Early start¬
ing, warm quarters, vigorous plants,
rather late transplanting to tlio field;
warm, rich and rather moist soil;
constant attention to potato beetles;
frequent cultivation. The best vari¬
eties for private use are early dwarf
purple, early long purple, white Chi¬
nese, with perhaps black Pekin fol¬
iate. The best market varieties aro
New York improved aud black Pekin.

HOW TO GIIOW CARROTS.
Carrots grow best in sandy loam
but almost any good soil will suit
them. If tho land they are to grow
on has boon well manured the previous
year no manure is required. It is
claimed that fresh stable manure causes
the roots to divide. If grown ou land
that produced good corn last year then
a good crop of carrots is almost certain
without further fertilizing. Sow the
fcoed in drills about two feet apart at
any time iu May. Tho fore part of
May is best, but if tho ground should
be very dry I should wait for rain-
Tliiu out to from two to four inches
according to variety. About five hun¬
dred bushels is au average fair crop
per acre If the I<ong Orange variety la
•own, Smaller kinds are proportion¬
ately less. It is hard to say what kind
of seed is the best unless the purpose
they arc intended for is known. The
Long Orange, or Danvers, is best for
cuttle and horses; but for family use
the Early Horn and Half Long Scarlet
urc best. The Early Horn should be
sown as soon as tlio ground can bo
worked, as their principal merit is
curliness. —[New England Homestead.
SHEEP-RAISING*
The sheep industry has been, in this
country, in a measure abandoned. This
is all the worse for tlio country.
Twenty-five years ago this was an ex¬
tensive interest. Our sheep interest
lias suffered by a lack of knowledge of
what constituted good sheep and what
constituted good care. The Good
Shepherd lias said: “My sheep hear
my voice and follow me.” This should
be the relation between Hie sheep and
their care-taker. A judicious selection
of Merinos lias brought the flocks from
two and a half and three pounds to six
pounds. The old days when a ewe was
called a “yo” have passed. The sue-
cess of sheep-rearing lies in doing
well what we do. Sheep must have
tiie best of care. My advice is to buy
sheep and to keep them. This wc
must do if we would restore to our
farms their former prosperity. We
can do this the best wiih sheep, and
at the least cost. Iu tlio following
statement I have charged for pastur¬
age at cost, as if you hired pasture,
and have given the manure for the
little care, including tlio pleasure:
One hundred sheep will cost $400;

$3.50 per head, $438; 350 pounds of
wool at 30 cents, $165; total, $603.
You have also saved enough to keep
the original number more than good.
I have given advantage in the state¬
ment to the debit side. Ought not
any fanner to be satisfied with tho
returns? Do not hold your wool
over—there is no money in that—take
tiie market price. Stick to tiie busi.
ness; do not ever get discouraged and
sacrifice your siieep. No animal re¬
poses more confidence in man than
siieep; none affords greater reward.—

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don’t forget to put in a succession
of peas, lettuce and radishes.
Whatever there may be in breed, fi
amounts to nothing' without feed.
A mixture of corn and oat meal is
good for calves and oilier animals.
Stables get filthy very easily. It re¬
quires care and labor to keep them
clean.
Burying the grain is a good plan to
get the fowls to scratch when they are
confined.
Beans will not stand frost like peas.
Don’t get them in till all dangor of
frost is over.
Copperas dissolved in water is a
good as well ns a cheap tonic for poul¬
try of all kinds.
Young ducks should be kept grow¬
ing from the start ahd sent to market
as soon as they are ready.
Geose feathers bring tlio best prices
in market; duck feathers sell next
highest and turkey feathers next.
Set out some strawberries. Give
them the same culture you do you 1 '
corn and noto tlio result next year.
Are you going to keep lions and
raise vegetables in tho samo yard?
You will leant something if you do.
Because tlio season is late don’t put
oft' tlio garden till all tlio outs aro
sowed, tiie imuiuro all out and the
corn land plowed.
Stocky cabbage and tomato plants
are more desirable than those that are
tall and spindling, and will make a
better growth.
It is rarely profitable for tiie farmer
to attempt to keep too many varieties
of poultry. Leghorns nro small, but
they are one of tiie very best breeds
for eggs.
Allow no sheep-killing dog to live,
and fine h ! s owner and oiler a reward
for proof. Require a bond for dam¬
ages. Allow largo appraisal for dam¬
ages. This would shut off that nuis¬
ance—a dog owned by an irresponsible
man.
I’rof. Henry of tlio University of
Wisconsin advises—where cornstalks
aro to furnish the principal rough
food—the following as a day’s rations
fora cow: Cornstalks, cut, fifteen to
eighteen pounds; clover hay, five
pounds; bran, six pounds; corniucal,
four pounds.
The Emperor’s Jinrse.
An old lady died in Russia late in
tlio winter, uutitled aud unknown,
but tlio Czar of all tlio Russias fol¬
lowed her remains on foot through
the snow, in tiie teeth of an icy wind,
to tiie cemetery, aud brushed tears
out of his imperial eyes when tho
frozen earth fell ou the hot-house
blossoms which covered her plain cof¬
fin. $ho was tiie old English nurse
who took care of the Emperor and his
brother when they were children, and
the royal family of Russia has ever
manifested a most kindly regard for
the servants of their household.

The practice of burying the dead
witli tiie head toward tiie West is of
deep religious significance, but it is
impossible to say just where tiie cus¬

that Christ at Ills second coming
would appear in the East, and that
those wiio rose from the graves would
face him when lie appeared. Tiie
custom is, however, going out of use.
Tiie discovery of a tomb near

ty years ago was of incalculable bene¬
fit, for it established the truth of the
Biblical account of the Pharaohs and
of the oppression of the Israelites.
The present discovery can scarcely be
so rich as that, but it may help to fill
some gaps in Egyptian history.”
Robbing Uncle Sam.
Going through the mail sacks used
to be a tedious job for a road agent,
and it didn’t often pay for tiie time
wasted. Resides it doubled tiie num¬
ber of pursuers by setting all the
United States marshals ou tho hunt
for tiie robber, and when caught it
landed bint in the United States court
and insured a heavy sentence. Never¬
theless, a great deal of money is sent
by mail, and for the convenience of
road agents and oilier tlieives who
may desire to tako tiie chances of
being caught, Uncle Sam invented tlie
registered loiter and its especial
pouch. No other reason for tlio in¬
vention of the registered letter system
can be imagined. A registered letter
is not insured, and Uncle Sam will not
pay for it if it is lost or stolen. The
registered mail is put into a little
pouch, which is put insido the ordi¬
nary mail sack. When tiie road agent
gets hold of a mail sack lie rips it open
either by running his knife around
tiie sack near tiie bottom and thus cut¬
ting the bottom off at one sweep, or
by making two slashes criss-cross in
one side of tiie sack. Thanks to
Uncle Sam’s kind consideration and
foresight, lie isn’t obliged to ransack
a thousand letters, but finds all tiie
valuable mail sorted out for him and
neatly done up in an easily portable
pooch, which lie takes along to open
at his leisure in the brush.—[New

Hunting and Destroying Wrecks.
When ships are lost at sea tiie wrecks
become very dangerous to other ves¬
sels. A 11 ocean steamer under full
speed at night or in a storm to crash
into au old hulk might mean death
and destruction to hundreds of people
and to the ship as well. Anybody
knows that, but not many people
know how brave sailors go for weeks
up and down along the coast to find
these wrecks and tako them out of
other vessels’ way. It is a hard piece
of work, requiring great courage and
endurance, and the only glory in it
lies in knowing one has done well.

The Invention of Ink.
The ink first used pr. bably was some
natural animal pLffiont, such as the black
fluid obtuiued from the various species of
cuttlefish, says Chambers’ Journal, but
the limited supply of this material soon
led to the use of a mechanical mixture of
water, gum and lampblack, and the
characters wero painted, rather than
written, teed. As by ink means of this of simple u luoad pointed
nature was
easily removed from the suriace of the
panhmeut by the mere apple atim of
moisture, it was early found necessary to
contrive some means of forming a more
durable ink, and for this purpose the ex¬
pedient was ad opt i d of treating the mix¬
ture with some substance, such as v ni-
gar, of the nature of a mordant, wb c’t
would penetrate th» parchment writteu
upon nud form an ink not liable to fade.
A chemical dye, consisting of an infu¬
sion of galls, with sulph ate of iron, was
a terward used, as from its vitreous na¬
ture it bit into the medium employed,
but a compound vegetable ink contain¬
ing a good deal of carbon pigment was
suhsequ erally employed ntly adopted, and was very gen¬
down to the middle ages.
With ink 01 this s rt the best and ino-t
ancient manu cripts Which have been
preserved to us were wiitten, and the
dry separate leaves, after being allowed to
slowly, were bound together in
volumes. Pliny and Vitruvius, as well
i.s other writers, give recipes for the
m mufacture of inks.

On the move
—Liver, . . Stomach, _ ,
and Bowels
after Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets have done their work.
It’s a healthy movement, too
—a natural one. The organs
are not forced into activity
one day, to sink back into a
worse state the next. They’re
cleansed and regulated—mild¬
ly and quietly, without wrench¬
ing or griping. One tiny,
needed sugar-coated Pellet is all that’s
three as four a gentle laxative;
to act as a cathar¬
tic. They’re the smallest,
cheapest, the easiest to take.
Sick Headache, Bilious Head¬
ache, Constipation, Indigestion,
Bilious Attacks, and all de¬
rangements of the Liver,
Stomach a/ $1 Bowels are
promptly relieved and cured.
“August Flower”
Mr. Lorenzo F. Sleeper is very
well known to the citizens of Apple-
ton, Me., and neighborhood. He
says: “ Eight years ago I was taken
“ sick, and suffered as no one but a
“ dyspeptic can. I then began tak-
“ ing August Flower. At that time
“I was a great sufferer. Every-
‘ ‘ thing I ate distressed me so that I
“had to throw it up. Then in a
“ few moments that horrid distress
“ would coilie on and I would have
“to eat and suffer
For that “again. I took a
Horrid “little of your med-
‘ ‘ icine, and felt much
Stomach “better, and after
“ taking a little more
Feeling. ‘ ‘ August Flower my
peared, “Dyspepsia disap¬
and since that time I
“ have never had the first sign of it.
“lean eat anything without the
“least fear of distress. I wish all
‘ ‘ that are afflicted with that terrible
“ disease or the troubles caused by
“it would try August Flower, as I
“am satisfied there is no medicine
“equal to it.” @

To the Indian Territory we have shipped a
good many of our watches. It is a fact that
the people out there know a good thing when
they see it—and wherever one of our watches
goes, it makes such a reputation lor itself that
other orders are sure to fellow.
In this way the demand for the “Stevens
Watch’’ Watch comes from every part of the south
and west, they are the strongest, simplest, and
most accivite watches in the market, and,
considering Stevens quality, the lowest pr' ice. See the
