THE ENCCBE HABIT.
UOTF Siiii < i ItecvcN Turned the Tables
on One of Ilia Admirer. * .
Sims Hooves , who in his day was ac
cepted as the most celebrated tenor on
the concert stage , was so much of a
favorite that whenever he sang ho was
usually greeted with a hearty encore ,
accompanied with enthusiastic cheers.
Reeves was very good nahired about
the matter , but he made it a rule never
to sing more than one selection when |
he felt that his voice was not in first
class shape. He happened to uotice
that an elderly man , who turned out
to be a dealer in hats along the Strand ,
London , attended nearly every concert
within convenient distance if Sims
Reeves happened to be on the bill and
generally led the encore brigade. This
hatter was a persistent person and of
ten applauded until he had forced
Reeves to respond to double and triple
encores.
Determined to teach the little hatter
a lesson , one afternoon just as dark
was approaching. Reeves entered his
admirer's store and. said , "One hat ,
please , ' ' naming the particular shape
which he desired. The little hatter
didn't recognize the great tenor , and
handed him out one hat
"Good , " said Reeves. "How mnch
Is this hat ? "
"Five shillings , " said the store pro
prietor.
"Encore , " said Reeves.
A second hat was forthcoming , and
Reeves ultimately obtained three "en
core" hats. When the little hatter de
manded 1 sterling for the purchases j
Reeves pretended to be furious.
"Send those four hats to this ad
dress , " ordered the tenor in terrible
tone , "but I only pay for one hat. Do
you understand ? The three other hats
are 'encore' hats. If you make me sing
Bongs for nothing you must send me
hats for notliing. "
The little hatter was speechless.

Tilde Sam is getting so much money
.hat he doesn't know what to do with
it. The passage of the emergency curI I
reucy act has thrown him into a very
embarra sintr position. The old ueii-
toiiiafs ! pockets aren't iarjje enough to \
hold hN bank notes. He has ordered his
(
tailor to add a cap.icious pocket to his ,
costume , but that does not meet the j
present eniericeucy. The government's i '
situation presses home the fact that the i 1
.success of the oinonroiicy currency law !
mu < t depend in a considerable measure ' j
on the physical ability to grind out the
bank notes and to take care of them
afterward. The purpose is to accumu
late a slore of ? . " < KMH 10,000 bank notes ,
and to hold them in readiness. P.utaf
the very ous"t ( the irovernmeut ollicials
are faced with the fact that they have
no place tu r.cep the notes. The regu
lar vaults at the treasury aiv already
crowded. Plans have been made for
: i MOW vault , but it will be four months
before it can be ready for business.
For the intervening period the ollicials
are at wits' end to know what to do
i\ilh the notes as they come from the
bureau of printinir and eimravinir. For ;
that very reason there has boon delay
in ordering the new notes. But is is
being impressed on the Treasury offi
cials that delay may prove dangerous ,
! n case there should be demand for
meriiency currency during the crop-
moving period this fall. Director Ralph
of the bureau of priutinir and engraving
has declared that , if some other ar
rangement is not made , he will turn
his private office into a dumping ground
for bank notes by the tens of millions
and will run his chances in guarding

chairman of the Hou e Committee on

Ward statue of Washington , which
stands in front of the Custom IIous"
in New York. Mr. McCal ! proposes to
place this replica on the staircase on
the east front of the eapitol. so that
Presidents , in delivering their inaug
ural addresses , will stand at'the ' feet
of the fir t President. This proposition
fs objected to by many Senators , who
prefer having a now work and not
merely a replica. The idea of placing
an heroic statue in bronze in a con
spicuous place on the plaza , represent
ing Washington in the act of deliver-
in ! ; his inaugural address , is finding
many supporters in Congress.

r Poultry by Machinery.
Feeding and fattening poultry by
machinery' Well , what next ? Ret t
sponslble for this latest usurpation of t
nature's functions are the French ,
those people who are past masters in
every thing having to do with the
preparation and serving of food and
the enjoyment of it , too.
Although the idea of feeding poultry
by machinery hasn't been long on these
shores , several hundred persons are
engaged in the business , and nearly a !
million dollars is Invested. Machine-
fkttened poultry is to be found in ev
ery important market of the land.
While the idea , as stated before , came
from France , Americans , with their I
usual cleverness fn adopting the prod- |
nets of other brains , have improved ;
upon the mehanicnl agencies.
A sheet metal tank or bucket , hold
ing about four gallons of food and
standing upon three legs , forms the
upper part of the American machine.
A rubber tube about a foot long runs
from the receptacle ; it is about the
siy.e of one's thumb when it is attach
ed to the machine and tapers to the
size of a little finger at the other end.
Operated by the foot , a treadle is con
nected with a little sliding door in the
bottom of the bucket When this door
is opened by a movement of the treadle
a quantity of food is forced through
the tube and down the fowl's throat.
When one wishes to feed a fowl he
seix.es it by the legs , opens its bill and
pushes the rubber tube down its throat
until the nozzle nearly reaches the crop.
Then he works the treadle , forcing
food down the fowl's throat until the
crop is filled. Some operators are so
expert that they can feed 400 chick
ens an hour with the machine.
It is claimed on behalf of the ma
chine that poultry will fatten in half
the time if fed this way , and that the
meat will have a better flavor. The
fowl kept sfuffod all the time , regard
less of its natural appetite , is bound
to get fat.
Most of the fatteners feed a mixture
of corn meal , oat meal and milk. It
must be soft enough to * pass readily
through the rulvber tube of the feeder.
It is asserted that feeding by machin
ery is not cruel and that a chicken
soon learns to open its bill voluntarily
for the nozzle.
