TH E TOBACCO REBA TE.
Instructions” to Dealers for Filing Their
Clowns. ‘
The instructions concerning the re-
bate on cigars have been received at.
the internal revenue office, as well as
blank forms for inventory and affidavit.
In order that manufacturers and deal--
ers in tobacco may know what to do to
obtain the rebate, a brief summary of
the instructions is here given. Com-
plete information as to details may be
. obtained by calling at the collector’s
office, or upon the division deputy c'ol-
lectors.
Every tobacco dealer or manufact-
urer who has on hand on Jan. 1, 1891,
250 pounds or more of tobacco and.
snufi‘ may claim the rebate at the rate
of two cents per pound, provided the
tobacco and snufi‘ shall be in unbroken
stamped packages. ~
No claim 'for a rebate of a less
amount than 35 will be allowed. '
The preparation of the inventory may
be begun at any time prior to Jan. 1,
and if attended to in time there need be
no delay in making affidavit and for-
warding claim .on that day. The in—
ventory must be made in the presence
of two disinterested witnesses of good
repute for truth and veracity ; and, if
posSible, should be sworn to before an
internal revenue officer, or an officer
having a seal. As soon as complete, it
should be delivered or sent to the
deputy collector of the division in
which the dealer is _"'located. The in-
structions are explicit that the inventory
must be made and sworn to on J an. 1.
1891 ; claims not made in accordance
will not be received until the reasons
for the failure to complete the claim on
that day have been furnished and ac-
cepted as satisfactory by the collector.
The exception to this is in the matter
of goods in transit Jan. 1. As soon as
such goods are received the inventory
will be made and aLblank form of afll-
davit fer consignors will be furnished.
As the time is limited fOr supplying
~ bland forms, dealers Efiwho may have
been overlooked may apply in person
or by letter at the revenue office for
blanks.
There are about 10,000 dealers in this
district (Connecticut and Rhode Island)
and probably the claims for rebate will
not exceed 300 all told. In 1883, when
the rebate of tax was at the rate of 8
cents per pound and $3 per 1,000 on
cigars, the total number 0f claims re-
ceived was 447 for the state of Connecti-
cut. At that time Rhode Island was a
separate district and had from 200 to
300 claims. If for any reason a claim
is not presented within sixty days from
Jan. 1, the date of reduction, no claim
or drawback will be allowed.
The regulations require that tw o w it-
nesses must each count all the packages
and keep an accurate account of the
same on sheets of paper, and the same
must be signed by them and delivered
to the dealer for future reference.

Diamond Back“ Terrapin Como 111511.
A householder flom Murray Hill made a
journey to Fulton market one day last
wt'eek In search of diamond back terrapin.
He learned. there was none to -.be~had
“Then send me up a half dozen of the
first that are brought in,” said the Murmy
Hill resident. “By the way, what are they
selling'for now?”
“Sixty dollars a dozen,” replied the mar-
ketman.
“Well, they are worth it,” remarked the
epicure flom uptown. “Diamond backs
come high, but we must have them,” and
he'walked away.
“If"it was $100 a dozen,” said the market:
man to 8. Tribune reporter who was stand-
ing near, “people in this city would pay
that sum for diamond backs and never
grumble.”
“How is it that the supply ever runs out
when the price is so high?” asked the re-
porter.
“Terrapin with the genuine diamond
shaped scales are not to be picked up like
clams at low tide,” said the dealer. “Some-
times they are not to be had at all. We
depend principally for our diamond backs
on the supply caught by fishermen' In their
nets during 0*the summer and kept over till
the winter market makes them valuable;
The fishermen build pens along the shore,
partly' In the water and partly on the land,
into which they put the diamond backs
they haul up during the sumfner.’ These
they sell 1n the winter at a handsome fig-
ure. Then the old fishermen who are too
stiff and rheumatic to followtheir trade at
sea. spend the fall and winter days putter-
ing along the shore, poking sticks down in
the sand to find the terrapin that crawl up
out of the sea at the approach of winter,
burrow in the sand and hibernate till
spring. 'These old fellows know by signs
just where to poke down in the sand for a
diamond back. If they can find half a.
dozen a week they have made good wages. ”

Bethlehem.
An air of cheerfulness and brightness is
about the place. The gay and brilliant
young Eothen of half a. century ago gives
a playful description of his own delight in
finding smiling faces and the laughter of
' girls upon his path in the little hill city of
the nativity; and one cannot but remem-
ber his words when the women flock out
to their doors—in greater numbers, surely,
than in other places—as the carriage dashes
up a narrow street where the panels al-
most graze the walls, and the pavement
seems composed of bowlders like the bed
of a mountain stream. This is a trifle in
the east, where in towns much more im-
portant than this, which is little among
the cities of Judah—thriving cities like
SInyrna and Beyrout—you. drive over
thoroughfares like water courses at the
peril of your life.
The inhabitants of Bethlehem are all
Christians, which is cheering to begin
with, .and the feminine part of them are
unusually distinguished by good looks, and
wear a. beautiful costume—embroidered
jacket with long hanging sleeves, and
skirts in various colors—exceedingly pict-
uresque and striking. Their heads are
adorned with silver chains and coins e11-
circling the forehead and falling on each
side of the face, over which the women who
are married wear some sort of a stiff round
cap, over which is arranged a long veil of
the fine unbleached linen which is peculiar
to the east, embroidered with a heavy bor-
der in rich colors of silk—red and purple
and blue. This headdress gives a kind of
mild majesty to their clear tints and well
out features, and they sell their vegetables
like princesses—not in disguise, but grace-
fully condescending to supply their fellow
creatures with the necessities of life.—

The Autograph Hunter Foiled.
There is a certain young professional
man who has a mania for securing auto-
graphs and 1e , if possible, of noted
persons. He h been informed that a
certain poet of world wide reputation, on
American, never gave his autograph. But
he made up his mind he was going to have
it without asking for it. He wrote a busi-
ness like letter to the exclusive poet stat-
ing that he desired a sketch of his life for
a work of a literary nature he was prepar-
ing, and asked the poet if he could inform
the writer where a. reliable sketch could be
found. This, he thought, would be sure
to- bring at least a. line or two from the
famous writol. Imagine his chagrin,a
day or two later, at receiving in a sealed
envelope a printed biography, unaccom-
panied by even the scratch of a. pen. To
cap the climax, even the envelope was ad-
dressed by .a typewriter.-—Albany Argus.
Have You Ever Thought of This?
When a wheel is in motion does the top
move faster than the bottom? Nine people
out of ten would cry nonsense at the more
question. Both the top and bottom of'thc
wheel must, of necessity, 'it would seem, be
' moving forward atone and the same rate—i.
e., the speed at which the carriage istravel-
ing. Not so, however, as a little reflection
would convince you. The top-is moving in
the direction of the wheel’s motion of
translation, while the bottom is moving in
opposition to this motion. In other words,
the top is moving forward in the same di-
rection in which the carriage is progress-
ing, while the bottom 13 moving backward,
or in an opposite direction. That is why
_an instantaneous photograph of a carriage
in motion shows the upper part of the
wheel in a. confused blur, while the spokes
in the lower part are distinctly visible—-

BRI" ..v ANSWERS TO oussrlons ‘No Sympathy with the Attack
, ABOUT BUTTER MAKING.
.-a
Proper Temperature of Cream, for Churn:-
_ ing in Winter and in Summer—Butter
Mado fromjuilk Tllui;..-Has Been Frozen
Is Bitter and Crumbly.
Mr. W., who writes me for points on
butter making, will find. below answers 4
to his questions. Butter makers should
bear' 1n mind that circumstances alter
cases:
1. The best temperature to separate
milk by centrifugal f01ce in summer is
72 dogs. Farhenheit. If the milk is too
warm the butter-will be salvey; 75 to 80
dogs. will do in winter.
’ -2. Cream should be Geoled as soon as
possible after it leaves the separator to
60 or 62 dogs. In winter this haste is
not so essential, if the' cream is sur-
rounded bywater.
ter will be _soft and off flavor.
3. The proper temperature to churn
cream in summer is 56 to 57.degs., and
in winter 59: to 60~degs. If churned too
warm it is liable to mass in the churn,
and will always lose some of its body
and color.
4. Butter made from frozen milk is
liable to be bitter and crumbly. Such
milk should not be received, for it is no
better than if scalded.
5. I do not think it necessary to work
butter twice if you get it straight in
salt and color the first time. Examine
«butter at the end of three to ten hours,
and, if not straight, go over it again. I
advocate salting butter in the churn—-
one pound of salt to ten pounds of butter.
6. A cement floor is the best for but«
ter; also a half basement room.
7. Run Danish-Weston at 4,000 to 4,500.
8. To avoid streaks in your butter
strain the cream through a wire sieve
and clean the sieve with hose pipe or
water, in place of rubbing through with
a ladle. Churn at alower temperature,
and when churned do not freeze a por-
tion of the butter with ice or cold water,
as it will not take salt or color when
hard and cold. (3001 the cream in sum-
mer as long and much as possible before
churning, and start the churn at the
right», temperature. Seme cream at 60
dogs. will churn in ten to twenty min-
-utes; it should be cold enough to take
one hour.—~«A. M. Bingham in Creamery
Journal.
Dairy Don’ts.
Do not expect sweet, fresh tasting
butter from old, sour cream, but rather
anticipate what you will have from such
over ripe material—a cheesy flavored,
perishable product.
Do not try to make rich cheese out of
skimmed milk, because you cannot do
it. The best skimmed stock owes its
superiority to low Scalding of curds cap-
ped by a moderate development of acid.
Do not be afraid of pure, wholesome
milk as an every day diet, because it is
a virgin drink, an elixir of life to babes,
and a. brawn produce-1 to adults. Do
not expect to have milk of the “pure
and wholesome” variety unless you are
interested in the sanitary condition of
your herd. This is a far reaching sub-
ject, and embraces farm and stable
drainage, adequate drinking facilities,
freedom from bovine diseases and
healthy food.
A man cannot be a successful dairy-
man unless he possesses the ability to
cope with all of the weak points in the
art.
Do not get excited. and “lose you
head” when a valuable cow is choking.
We have known such obstructions as
apples and potatoes to be expelled from
the throat by crushing them between
two blocks. Care should be taken not
to injure the cow’s neck and gullet.
Do not judge of the merits of a cow by
breed and blood alone. Pedigree is not
an insurer of milk yield, although "it is a
strong point in evidence. Cultivate
some individual ideas relative to the
physique of good milch cattle, and you
may be better off than if you relied on
the judgment of others. —-Cor. American

[cc for Farmers.
J. E. H. writes in The Rural New
Yorker: In a partof England with which
I was very familiar the farmers had
plenty of icefor-the hotiweather, which
they procured in this way: They had
sheet iron receptacles made three feet
long;.by two wide-and one deep, clamped
at the four sides, and these they filled,
during the frosty weather, with spring
or well water. and exposed to the atmos-
phere until their contents were frozen.
Then they undid the clamps, leaving the
four sides loose, audit was a very easy
matter to extract'tho coagulate‘d mass,
wheel it to the ice house, reclamp the
receptacles and refillwith the pure water,
andnso 011, until in afcw (lays or. weeks,
according to-the severity of the weather,
their ice how would be plenteously
stocked. Is net this a feasible method
for. the farmers pf this country to try?
The editor of The Rural New Yorker
remarks: Ordinary fro owing weather will
produce the ice if the water is poured
into:the-i.ron pans in small quantities.
The'lRuralfNew Yorker once tried this
method, using some old iron sinks as
framing-pans. . In order, to get the ice
outxof the sinks we turned them over
:and; poured hot water _on the'bottoms.
Oneadvantage of this method is that
onencammake ice Of pure spring or well
water. The man who provides himself
witha large Outfit of pans will be sur-
prised to see how much is e be can plo-
duce on an ordinarily cold day. .

DILLON: AND O’CONNOR PROTEST.
They Plead for More Temperate Words
and Actions on~tho Part of Both Sides
,in Ireland—Parnell’s Eyes Recoverlng
from‘the Effects, of the Limo.
LONDON, Dec. 18.—The campaign in Kil-
kenny continues with great vigor. The
Healyites held more than a dozen meet-.
lugs yesterday, and the Parnellites were
almost as industrious, though somewhat
disconcerted by the temporary disablement
of their chief. The donations to the ten-
ants’ defense fund have ceased throughout
Ireland, and are not likely to be renewed
while the existing uncertainty as to the
leadership lasts. Prominent Irishman who
have remained neutral in the present con-
test are urging upon the leading men of
both sides the folly of continuing a course
which will involve a t tal suspension of.
income, and from which neither side can
hope to Win anyadvautage. The atrdcious
assault upon Mr. Parnell has disgusted all
moderate men among his opponents, and
has hurt the Davitt following very much.
All Ireland Thrilled.
Dr. Kenny, member of parliament, in an
interview with a correspondent, said that
all Ireland was thrilled by the outrage
upon the man who for ten years had com—
mended the admiration of the Irish peo-
ple. He added. “Is it any wonder that the
Irish fiople have lacked leaders ill the
past, on this' Is the way they are treated?
And if they do get rid of Mr. Parnell by
murder or otherwise, how are they going
to secure a. leader in any way approaching
him in the future?”
The Funds in Paris.
Regarding the funds in Paris he said:
"Parnell has consumed a. good part of his
patrimony in the Irish cause, and )5 ready
to give a clean account of all that he has
handled donated by other people. The
ravings of Tim Healy and anonymous
charges in the newspapers that have al-
ways hated Parnell w111 do him no harm.
The fact is that men like Davitt and Healy
are jealous of Ireland’s matchless states-
man, both because of his genius and suc-
cess as a leader and because he happens to
belong to an eminent family: but the de-
scendant of the great Admiral Stewart
and of Sir John Parnell is able to laugh at
their puny and indecent assaults.
“What do you think of Mr. J ohn D117
lon’s latest manifesto?”
“I think that if Mr. Dillon were herehe
might take a different view of things. I
have a high regard for Mr. Dillon, and be—
lieve him incapable of sympathiziug with
the methods of Healy and Davitt. ”
Henuessy Is Sorry.
Resolutions demanding the retirement
of M1. Parnell have been adopted by the
Wellan, County Down, branch of the Na'-
tional league.
Sir John Pope Hennessy has sent an ex—
pression of his regret for the attack made
upon Mr. Parnell at Castle ,Comer, when
lime was thrown in his eyes, to the cam-
paign committee of his Opponent, Mr. Vin-
cent Scully.
The Daily News’ Kilkenny dispatch says
that only bags of flour were thrown in
Tuesday’s melee. Mr. Parnell’s eye was
injured by a. stone, which must have con-
tained some lime. The Telegraph’s Kil-
kenny dispatch states that the missile
which struck Mr. Parnell was a paper bag
filled with slake'n lime or plaster of paris.
It was deliberately thrown at Mr. Parnell
at a distance: of six feet. The darkness
made it impossible to detect the culprit.
Whervo Palnell’s £40,000 Went To.
KILKENNY, Dec. 18. —-Mr. Parnell, in an
interview regarding certain insinuations
as to the manner in which he disposed of
the sum of £40,000 raised for him by pub-
lic subseription a few years ago, said that
he would have preferred to remain silent
on this subject, but the question having
been raised, it was not improper for the
public to learn the truth. “It Is absolutely
false, ” he said, “thatI spent the money on
personal matters in England. I spent it
among the workmen of Wicklow, in such
a way as to furnish employment to 200 per-
sons, in mines and quarries, likely to be
permanent.”
Parnell's Appeal to the Hillside Men.
Mr. Parnell has issued an appeal to the
Hillside men not to yield to English dic-
tation. He says: “You countrymen of
Grattuu, volunteers with O’Connell, Davis
and Wolfe Tone, followers of the gallant
Father Murphy, who fought and bled for
the independence of- our country, will you,
inspired by the memories of the past, aban—
don your chief? ‘Vill you give him up to
the Saxon wolves, who are howling for his
destruction? Will you 'not rather shout
‘no surrouder?’ ” In conclusion Mr. Par-
nell says; “Men of the Hillsides, gather on
Sunday at J ohnswell around your chief,
hurling defiance at his enemies.”
Dillon and O'Connor-’5 Plea.
NEW YORK, Doc. 18.—Messrs. Dillon and
O’Connor have sent the following cable-
gram to J ustln McCarthy, M. P.
Haw learned with the deepest pain of the in-
july to Mr. Parnell yesterday. Language and
acts of violence on both sides will ruin Irish cause
in the :2, es of Americans and fill the Irish people
here With despair. Save the cause. Use influence
with our friends to abstain from all personal
insults and violence, no matter how great the
provocation, and appeal to Mr. Parnell’s support-
ers to abstain from attacking meetings.
Joan DILLON.
’1‘.l’ O‘CONNOR.
Mr. O’Connor thought that the Irish "
cauSe had gone backward wonderfully
within the past few weeks, and said that
if r. Parnell kept on in his present stand,
even if the election was lost at Kilkenny,
the cause would be irretrievablv ruined.
Cheers and Groans for Mr. Parnell.
CORK, Dec. 18.—Many priests and prom-
inent citizens attended the McCarthy meet-
ings helo. Resolutions were adopted 'ap-
provmg the call for transfer of the shares
in United Ireland to Mr. McCarthy. _Mr._
Sexton declared that Mr, O’Brien was re
turning with a broken heart Parnell
would be satisfied with nothing but the
most abject submission to his dictation. As
the members were leaving the meeting a
crowd of Parnellites booted them and
attempted to attzlckthem, but the police
interfered and maintained order.
"-"l‘he Insuppressible” Appears.
DUBLIN, Dec. 18.—The McCarthy organ
appeared yesterday under the title of.“Thc

II 1511 National Pless has been issued. It

THE ANIDIAL INDUSTRY
WHAT THE LAST NATIONAL HORSE
SHOW; AMOUNTED TO.
Magnificent Animals on Exhibition at the
New York Madison Munro-Garden, with
Prices of Admission “Away Up in,G”-A
Display for Millionaires.
The-sixth annual horse show of the
associated. horse breeders was the first
one held in the new Madison Square
Garden, New York, in the magnificent
structure upon the site where the bum-
ble old Madison square shed has echoed
so often to the neighing of steeds, from
a child’s Shetland pony to the bucking
mustangs of Buffalo Bill.
What did the horse show show? It dis-
played first of all the amount of money
there' Is in this country. The ostensible
purpose of the promoters of the show
is the improvement of American
.horses. Farmers are more directly m-
terested' In this improvement than any
others, since it is’ the farmers who rear
nine-tenths of all the Phases :in the
Union. But the prices of admission were
so high that it would take almost a
wagon load of farm produce to procure
a good seat in the amphitheatre. The
lowest price was that for general admis-
sion. This entitled you to noseatzt- all,
but to merely walk around.an:.inclosure,
where at any moment a frisky steed
that felt particularly good might up
with his heels and kick you into king-
dom come.
.The lowest priced seats were-adollar
and a half, and from thatthey’ranged
up to $7, the pricefor a box. What is
more, the seats for the opening night
were every one engaged beforehand.
Wealthy people filled them. Splendidly
dressed ladies wearing diamonds-flashed
through the boxes like bright winged
birds. 'It was all very grand, but the
farmer was not there. The showwas in
the ds of anumber of rich people,
who exhibited horses worth'in them-
selves half a dozen times as much as the
horse raiser’s whole farm. It was a dis-
play prepared to get money from rich
people, and it was a success. In all 651,
horses were exhibited, magnificent ani—
mals,mas1y of them. A New York pa-
per thus mentions some of them:
There are certain horses which every
one must see. Mambrino King, of the
Village farm lot, is one. Heisamost
beautiful'trotting horse to look at, either
in motionror at ease, and with him is
Prince Regent, ‘ who has won more
money this year on the grand circuit
than any other horse on it.
From the same stable come Justina
and Belle Hamlin, who hold the record
for trotting in double harness. Then
you want to look up Alcantara, the stall-
ion of whose get twenty-five have made _
under 2:30;,and Young Highland Gray,
another stallion, with four of his 0113-
spring, and the big Clydesdale stallion
Drumskeoch, who stands 16;- hands and
weighs 1,800 pounds. Then there are J.
D. Cheever’s imported stallions, Realiza-
tion and Helicon, which ccst$12,000 and
$8,000 to import; Dr. Seward Webb’s
magnificent string of fifty horses, Ed-
ward Kelly’s Greenland, A. J. Cassatt’s
Ben d’Or, and the great jumpers, S. S.
Howland’sOntario, Moorehouse & Pep-
per’s Rosebery, and H. L. Herbert’s
Transport.
There are over fifty entries in the
hunter’s class, and twenty tandem en-
triesand more coaches than can be put
in the ring together.
Chester White Sow.
The “little crooked nose Berkshire” is
a. general favorite among swine, particu-
larly-in the west. But there are other
breeds that have their enthusiastic ad-
vocates, and one of these is the Chester
White. One thing in favor of the Ches-
ter White pig is that it is an American
hog. It originated in Chester county,
Pa. It 15 of a made up breed, composed
of half a. dozen other breeds—perhaps
more than that.
Han-is says the Chester White is ad-
' mirably adapted to the kind of care most
American farmers give their swine,
which is a kind of left handed compli-

ment. It is a. large, strong hog, of vig-
orous and hardy constitution. The sows
are immensely prolific, producing some-
times seventeen pigs at a litter. Harris
also recommends the Chester White as
one of the best crosses with the refined'
English breeds, such as the Essex, Berk.
shire and Yorkshire. The cross will pro-
duce prime animals, having the fine meat ‘
qualifies of the English breeds and the
strong constitution and size of the Ches—
ter White. The Chester Whites are
animals of quiet habits and quickly fat-
«toned.
The illustration shows perhaps the
best form of this breed. The specimen
in the picture was .10 months old when
she had .her portrait taken. Market ani-
mals of this breed, farmwedin March or
April, will weigh 200 to 240 pounds
when slaughteer in November.
and. quick sales. When allowed togrow
to their largest size and greatest fatness
the—Chester Whites . will reach a. weight
of from 600'to 900 pounds. One advantage
of _the Cheaters is that they can be fed. ,
__and fattened'sto kill when young as well 1'
as to be-allowed to grow to maturity.
And one disadvantage mentioned by
Harris is that the breed is not yet long
enough established to always. present
uniform points, so that the breeder who
buys one of them must remember he
represents not a family so much as him-
self, and he may present points of his
remotescz‘ub ancestry, such-as large lop
ears, slab sides and a: capacity forming. ,
