Joe Nabaris, to stop, which he at first refused to do, but he soon realized that the Customs Official meant business, so he jumped from the rig and over the fence to the \u201cland of the maple\u201d

roads,\u2014{t seems as though a little better provision might easily and with a small outlay be made for the animals that serve us so faithfully, by providing convenient watering places slong the highway.Near Elmwood Park nature provides a good stream conveniently located by the roadside and all that is needed is some receptacle to bold it.A year or two ago somo charitably inclined person put a barrel there, but since that has failed horses look wistfully but in vain.It surely is not too much to ask that those who have the charge of road affairs should see that this long-felt want fo filled.\u201cA word to the wise is sut- ficlens.Perbaps & is all that is needed to eet the ball rolling.ning which did damage in different sections.In the early morning a storm alro of a severe kind

through \u2018 the lake on the snug steamer \u2018\u2018Pocahontas,\u201d before its last trip for the | season.Those who have lived by the \u2018lake for years and enjoyed its beauti- ! ful scenery, can appreciate it still bet- : ter by taking the ride through, as the | general view is much changed.One iseems to be almost transplanted to 'some distant place at times.The new ' steamer is a great acquisition and we wish the owper, Mr.Sampson, all success In bis undertaking to fill the much needed requirement.The Ladies Aid society of Kings- croft will hold a sale beginning the evening of the

invited. Milk is a product subject to remark- | able changes in tbe system, says a\u2019 correspondent of the New York Tribune.| \u2018Fright, anger, pain, etc., leave thelr | traces in the milk secretions, Bo.marked bas this sometimes been in the human mother that by anger, fright, excitement, pain, etc, a poison has , been infused into the milk tbat has resulted in convulsions and death of the nursing child.No doubt the same causes pruduce a similar effect among animals.Experiments prove that one side of the udder of a cow may be milked and then the cow be frightened or greatly excited, and the other side be immediately milked, and a marked change will be scen to have taken | place in the milk.There will be a material reduction in the per cent of fat, besides other changes.! All this we know by experiment and experience, but now the milk is secreted, and by what process It is deposited in the udder the most skilled anatomist has failed to inform us.Some claim it to be a nerve production.others say it 1s secreted by the blood, while still others assert that it {s an Independent production, ench giving apparently good reasons fur his position.| The fact that in a single minute by fright or anger the character of the milk may be changed shows that the nerve system exercises a powerful control over it.The large quantity of blood passing from the udder to the heart through the milk veius tends to prove that, in some way, blood is an active factor in milk production, while the quantity of milk secreted is such | &s to render the method 1Ysterious, as (so far as any writer whose works I have read has said) no trace of this milk is found in the blood.If in the blood, the quantity secreted in twenty- four hours is so great it would form a large portion of tbe blood flowing from the heart to the udder.With all the investigation that Las been made up to thisvtime we are compelled to confess that we know very little about it.Some breeds of cows produce a large butter fat globule highly colored; others a small and light colored one.This foe is largely fixed by breeding.The Dairy Steer.Suppose the steers raised from cows bred to dairy bulls are worth a great deal less than those from cows bred to beef bulls, which they are, what steer will bring a profit of $50 over and above the feed it will take to get him ready for the market in two and one- half years?And yet this 19 what be would have to do in order to make the beef combination as profitable as the dairy type, even though the dairy steer were given away.provided we are correct in saying that dalry sires would raise the average butter yield from 150 to 230 pounds, and we certainly believe this to be a conservative estimate.\u2014 Twentieth Century Farmer.A Homemade Separator.A dairyman from Prince Edward Island, Canada, thus describes a bome- made cream separator which has given splendid results.He says: My sub- earth cream separator is simply a strong cask sawed to about two feet from the bottom and sunk in the THE DAIRY COW.Hes Temperament the Most Impor.The Flan One Girl Follows te Insure ® tant Point to Censider.Professor T.L.Haecker of the Minnesota station, in an address on dairy cows, said: \u201cI bave now a full and complete record, covering twelve consecutive years, of a herd of cows which has contained all tbe dairy breeds, some of the beef breeds and some natives.The record covers every day's transaction\u2014the amount and kind of feed consumed and dairy products yielded.It is the only American herd of which such record has been kept.Not only has a constant record been kept of feed consumed and dairy products returned, but note has also been taken of the conformation and other peculiarities of each animal that has been in the herd during the time stated.Bo far as I am informed, it is the only herd, either in this or any other country, where so full a record has been kept for so long a time.\u201cI have been led to conclude that temperament is of primary importance.Temperament in a cow is the pivotal point upon which her adaptability for dairy work depends, The points indicating spare, angular conformation show that the nervous system or temperament 1e dominant and tbat there is no disposition to convert feed into body tissue or fat, and also minimizing the needs for maintenance of body.So an animal intended for dairy work must have a strong nervous system, which is indicated by (1) full eye, expressive; (2) face clean, rather long.nostrils large and open; (3) neck light, rather long, \u2018ewe necked; (4) withers \u2019 sharp; (6) shoulders light, spare; (6) spinal column prominent; (7) croup high, strong and sharp;

between 50,- 000 and 100.008 pounds, 2.36 cents; between 100,000 and 150,000 pounds, 1.99 cents; between 150,000 and 200,000 pounds, 1.78 cents; between 200,000 and 800,000 pounds, 1.71 cents.Guesswork In the Dairy.What a wonderful impetus it would give to the dalry business, not alone in \u2018Wisconsin, but all through the country, if every dairyman would give up guesswork and commence to keep records so that he would have an authoritative basis for determining whether the Dai- sles or the Bessies were really better cows, and when this was ascertained have the courage to send the Daisies to the butcher.\u2014Hoard\u2019s Dairyman.7e mvs ABOUT MILKING Have the stable clean and have the cow clean or you can't get clean milk, Whitewash for walls and posts is a ground, so that the top of the cask is good thing.Land plaster is a good re = er + tr vn tee = rete CLOTHES MANAGEMENT.Economienl Dressing.Perhaps ny plan to manage my | clothes on aext to nothing a year may , interest you and help some other girls.| To begin with, let me tell you how one dress lasted me for three years at an average cost of $4 a year.| bought a soft dark india silk in the spring for a | best street dress, for church and to | wear now and then when I paid friendly calls.1 made it very simply with tucks and a few stitched bands of taffeta, and then I wore with it separate stock collars of imitation Irish crochet lace and a fancy high girdle belt of taffeta.The next year, when the folds | had lost their first luster, I covered the worn edges with very narrow black gimp braid, and I used this remodeled dress for a business suit.Of course I had to shorten the skirt.That was the only alteration I made.For my evening dresses I buy each year two new ones, one of lawn and one of silk muslin, using them in the summer for my best dresses, and I easily make them do for two years.I put all my capital into the material and not into extra trimmings, as these are not necessary on a simple dress, the task of trimming them being accomplished by the effective way in which they are put to- : gether and the arrangement of the tucks.I spend about $16 for these : dresses.This includes the dressmak- | er\u2019s bill.In a case where a girl can- make her own dresses it would bring .the cost to about §5 for each dress.\u2014 | Exchange, WEDDING PRESENTS.Linen Is Something That Is Always Sure to Be Appreciated.| A writer In the House Beautiful has many sensible things to say on the subject of wedding presents.Every | married woman remembers a number | of absolutely useless or worse than ' useless presents sent her by her well meaning friends.One bride recently received no less than eight clocks.Her modest little apartment boasting only - six rooms, kitchen included, she bad to put away some of them, and this is embarrassing when the donors call.In the articles mentioned it is wisely \u2018 suggested that some account be taken ' of the plans of the prospective bride, ! If she is not going to keep house re- .frain from sending her cut glass and china.Furniture will be a nuisance in a boarding house.Make the gift à persona) one.A bit of old jewelry, a plece of lace, books, etc.; Russian brass jars, candlesticks or a samovar is sure to be appreciated.There are many delightful bits of porcelain to be had.If silver Is sent, better let it be knives and forks, for the simple reason that nearly every one else will send spoons.Best of all, choose odd .pieces, little pitchers and sugar bowls, | tea caddies, strainers, nut and bonbon dishes, Avoid sending pictures unless you know the taste of the re- ciplents.Linen is sure to be appre ciated.No bride ever has too much.| BEAUTY DON'TS.Don't walk five miles one day and stay at home all the next.Don't shut your bedroom window.Fresh air is necessary for health.| Don't eat your meals quickly.This causes indigestion and a red nose.Don't wash your face in hot water, This encourages superfluous hair.A MODEL OF CAUTION.| ot an Innocent Uemark Was the Pregtable Age For Créieary Market Osn- Cause of His Death.The father of Gueau de lieverseaux had been a distinguished lawyer, and - through bis influence he held Important offices under the government: When tbe revolution begun Le gave up his office at La RocLelle and retired to Chartres.From the time that the revolution begin Gueau de Reverseaux devoted his attention exclusively to preserving bis own safety, He wrote no letters.He would receive no letters.He saw no visitors and pald no visits.He spoke to no person and allowed po one to come near him.It would have been PATTENING CHICKENS.ditions-Pooding im Orates\u2014The Best Ratiens\u2014Feull Eguipmend.In order to have the chickens plump and well fitted for market when they are at the most profitable age, they should be placed in the fattening crates when they are three \u201cmonths old.It is not meant by this that chickens cannot be fatted profitably when they are more than three months old.Suitable market chickens of any age will show gains in the crates.In selecting chickens \u2018for fattening, those should be fatted that have a good constitution, denoted by short strong beak, head wide between the eyes, lively appear- impossible to be more prudent than he ance and that are of medium size, wis, and are of a broad square shape, However, he wanted sone sheds bullt with short, straight legs set well on his farm near Chartres and ventured to consult a carpenter.The car penter told him that he could not undertake the work lmmediately, as Gueau de Reverseaux win:1ed.because most of bis workmen were drafted to join the army at once.Gueau de Reverse:ux replied: \u201cThe workmen peed pot go.They can send substitutes.\u201d This remark was heard by the workmen, but only the first phrase made any impression on them.They reported everywhere that M.Guenu de Rever- seaux, who must be good autbority, had sald that they need not go.The news went to beudquarters that Gueau 4e Reverseaux declured that the draft- 2d workmen need not obey the government.This was considered to be conspiracy, and he was condemned to death and executed.A BID FOR SILENCE.Five Million Dollurs Was the Sum Offered and Rejected.Immediately it became known to the Tweed ring that the proofs of its guilt were in possession of the Thues an effort was made to Luy them.A.verified report of this at- in Harper's carefully tempt was published Weekly for Feb.22, 1830: \u201cA tenant in the same building (the Times bullding) sent for Mr.Jones to come to his office, ns he wished to see bim on an [mportant matter.Mr, !

Equipment for Fattening.\u2014In fattening chickens for market, it is advisable to use the fattening crates recommended by the Poultry Division, Ottawa.If only a small number of chickens are to be fatted, packing | boxes of suitable dimensions can be adapted for the purpose.The open top of the box should become the bottom of the crate, and one side should be removed for the front.Laths should be nailed up and down the front, and also lengthways of the crate to form the floor.The laths are | placed the same distance apart as recommended in the construction of the fattening crate.A board should be loosened in the top of the crate \u2018to remove the chickens from, \u2018and a feed trough arranged in front.A shaping board and shipping boxes are also required.Fattening Rations.A satisfactory fattening ration is one that is palatable and that will produce white colored flesh.Ground oats, finely ground or with the coarser hulls sifted out, should form the basis of all the | grain mixtures.Ground corn fed in excess will result in a yellow-colored flesh of inferior quality; ground pcas impart a hardness to the flesh that is not desirable.Ground oats, ground buckwheat, ground barley, and low grade flour are the most suitable meals for fattening.Satisfactory Meal Mixtures: \u2014 (1) Ground oats (coarser hulls removed).| (2) Siftings from rolled oats (no \u2018 hulling dust should be included).(3) Two parts ground oats, two parts ground buckwheat, one part ground corn.(5) Two parts ground barley, two parts low grade flour, ono part wheat bran.The ground meal should be mixed to a thin porridge with eour skim- milk or buttermilk.On the average, 10 pounds of meal require from 15 to 17 pounds of sour skim-milk.A small quantity of salt should be added to the mash.When sufficient skim-milk or buttermilk cannot be obtained for mixing mashes, a quantity of animal and raw vegetable food should be added to the fattening ration.The chickens should remain in the fattening crates for a period of 24 | days, more or less depending on the condition of the birds.Before they are placed in the crates they should he well dusted with sulphur to kill the lice.They should be again sulphured three days before they are killed.The First Week.\u2014It is necessary to feed the chickens lightly the first weck they are in the crates.A small quantity of the fattening food should be spread along the troughs, and as this is eaten more food is added, but not as much as the chickens would consume.The food should be given three times a day, and after feeding the troughs should be cleaned and turned over.The chickens should re~ ceive fresh water twice a day.and grit two or three times a week while in the crates.The Second Week.\u2014The chickens should be given twice a day as much food as they will eat.Half an hour after feeding the troughs should be cleaned and turned over.The Last Ten Days.\u2014At the commencement of this period one pound of tallow a day should be added to the mashes for every 70 chickens.The quantity of tallow should be gradually incresd#d so that at the latter part of the period one pound of tallow is fed to 50 chickens.The chickens should reccive the fattening food twice a day.Mr.Stewart Galbraith.Mr.Stewart Galbraith, a 1904 graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College, has been appointed Experi- MR.STEWART GALDRAITE.mentalist in Agriculture in the Or ange River Colony.He will reside at Bloemfontein.Erm You don\u2019t buy one every day, perl + laps onl once in a lifetime\u2014so you want the BE: don't make any mistake, have you ever ET of the GERHARD HEIRTZMAN, NORDHRIMER, OWAIN MARTIN .PIANOS ?Don't buy without seeing and hearine © look at both sides of the pléture, sem Rn before closing any Piano trade.Icansave yoy money and give you the best in Canad my terms are all right.snacs.aud W.B.LeBaron Sherbrooke, Que.Emperor Furnaces FOR WOOD.Simple, Safe, Durable, Economical in Fuel, BEST AND CHEAHEST OF WOOD FURNACES, If you are thinking of purchasing a furnace for next winter call on O.M: BEAN Stanstead.FARM FOR SALE.104 acres of good land, well divided into tillage, pasturage and woodland, will kewp 20 cows and team, 2 houses, 2 large barns, running water at house and barns, good cis terns at dwellings.The situation is very de sirable, being }¢ mile from the Village of Derby tre, where are good Stores, Creamery, Churches, Academy and Graded Schools Price and terms reasonable, Apviy to M.G.ROGERS, si*stf Derby Centre, Vt.DO YOU WANT ANY Furniture Spring Beds or Mattresses?1 am going eut of the business and will sell vou anything you want in this line cheap.À Chair for 85c.: ¥ Dining Chair for 950.A Lounge for $5.00, À Couch for $6.00.& Commode for 83.00, A Bureau for $6,00.A Table for $1.35.A Dining Table for $6.00.A Bedroom Suite for $10.00.A 6 Piece Parlor Set for $20.50.And any other in the general line I will sall you at prices to defeat competition In carpets I have everything desirable to =ell ats reduoiton.\"5 5 I am not going out of business but 1 wur't the trade and will sell cheap to get it.I have a large assortment of Dress Goods, Clothing, Boote and Shoes, Gert'« Furnish ings.Groceries, Hardware, Flour and Feed, all to be sold at competition prices.Call and see for yourselves, PA BISONNE QUE SUMMER TIME TABLE.In Effect Monday, June 27, 1904.BEC CENTRAL RaAaiLwaAay LEAVING SHERBROOKE.NEW YORK EXPRESS\u2014Leave S8herbrouke 8.50 à.m.;

ambushed himself and waited results.Mr.Armstrong describes in a highly interesting manner.Into the little circle of light out of tho all-comprehending darkness emerge creatures of every de scription\u2014birds, beasts, insects and creeping things of the field.The sly and shy little coons would come poering up with their cunning eyes and wise little snouts, and the stately skunk would sometimes pace leisurely past, flaunting his graceful tail.He hus the right of way and mothing bids him nay.Mr.Armstrong has watched the coons in the Don Valley at all hours and seasons.Their call 18 not confined to any one season.and is somewhat infrequent, he says, and he was Dot aware what call was under discussion just now, but thought the coon cry might attract inore notice at the present time of the year than others.Cry When Food le Feund.The coons go down to the river for the crawtish, which come out, as all crustacea do, to dry their shells on stones.Mr.Coon waits around till one appears, when he promptly grabs 1t.The rcmains may Le found in tho morning lying among the rocks.Some yoars ago, Says Mr.Armstrong, a coon was shot in the vicinity, and its stomach found to be full of intestinal worms, tho same worm which was then known to bu infecting the crawfish and causing their destruction.When food is found, the coon which is an assembly call, directed to the tribe im genoral, Mr.Armstrong says.\u2018\u2019You will get no one to contradict that,\u201d he stated.The reccoon is singularly wary of trespassing where men are about, though not apparently shunning their peighborhood.They are quick to take any hint or warning of danger, and scem to know just how far it is safe to go in the corn-patch or the chicken-ptn.To this is attributable the fact that they havo braved the dangers of civilization, and remained among the haunts of men when all the other creatures of the wild have disappeared.Collie Cockbura Talks.Another great authority on coons fs Collie ockburn, who is, says John Burns, about the best bush shot in the country, and has known coons all his life, says a writer in The Toronto World.Emorson Dollory, dead these dozen years, was the only other shot to bo reckoned with Cockburn.Old Isaac Dollery, Emerson's father, \u2018still stays with the shooting,\u201d\u2019 but is of a generation be- vond, and tells of the chase of half a century ago.Cockburn was born in Newmarket 50 years ago next April.Coons have pot varied in that time.\u201cThe man who says that a coon calls at this time of the year or any other is crazy.\u2019 he said.\u2018\u2018It is a little tiny bit of a barn owl that does it,\u2019 and he gave a gurgling whistle with nine or ten descending notes which fools nearly all the farmers in the land, and has spoiled the reputation of more good cool dogs than anything clse.«I've followed them all night many a time,\u201d he continued, \u2018and coon hunters will follow that cry with their dogs for hours.They'll say, There, do you hear that one.There's another one over there, and when the dog can't got track of a coon they gay the dog's no good.The coon will call, but you can't hear it six rods away.It is something like u slight whistle with a purr at the end of it, and you couldn't hear him across the road, but the owl you can hear half a mile away.Never Heard a Call, \u201cIt's the small owl that is calling the coon into the corn-patch, maybe, but Mr.Coon gives no call on the top of earth when ho is going into a corn-field.He says nothing but saws wood.I've hunted coons all my life and never heard one call yet.\u201cThe coon is pretty cheeky, hut not pearly so wuch as a skunk.The ground-hog will live in the field close to the house, and thore are cottontail rablits on Davenport road now under the sidewalk.Dut the coon will be away off in a swamp, and he'll come three miles to a coin ficld if there isn't a coon-dog about.But the coon is the most cunning animal there is, and he won't come where a coon-dog is.If all is clear he will come into the patch and take that corn and strip it down like a monkey, for his little feet are just like hands.When he has all he can bold he'll crawl off along the fence rails, and not a sound out of him.Like Kim Swamp \u201cWherever therc\u2019s an elm swamp with hollow trees you'll find coons.They don't wtay so thick around hero now because the trees are cut down.I have killed as high as 42 in a season, but the hardest animal to find on earth is a good coon dog.I mind once we got two coons up a stump, and sent Willie Boucher home

to get home to his den before being caught.If the wolf catches him he takes bim back to his own lair, and there the lion bas to stay throughout the rest of the game ' unless the wolf himself is

evidently decided to change the headquarters organization of the militia.It was stated some days ago that Colonel Lord Aylmer was to be appointed inspec- tor-general, and now it is semi-offi- cially announced that Colonel Lake has accepted the position of chief of the General Staff.Both of these positions are new.They are provided for in the Militia Act passed at the last session of Parliament, evidently with a view to putting an end to the office of major-general commanding, the filling of which has been made permissive inetead of mandatory.Lord Dundonald will therefore likely be remembered for a long time as the last officer of the British army to command the Canadian militia.The sequel to the appointments referred to will be the creation at an early day of an \u2018\u2018army council,\u2019 or board, of which the minister, the deputy minister, the chief of the General Staff, and other officials, civil and military, will be members.The new arrangement will \u2018a the country from the awkward » \"l'on of things which has existed \u2018ur sue years, under which every good officer secured for the command of the Canadian militia has left before his time was up.Dundonald, Hutton, Gascoigne, Herbert, Luard\u2014there has been a long list of them; and the better their record elsewhere the shorter as à rule has been their stay in Canada.The tendency of the new plan will be to increase the power of the minister of the day in all matters pertaining to the force.There will henceforth be no opportunity for such & protest as Lord Dundonald was the cause of when Mr.Fisher undertook to prevent his political apponents from obtaining commission in the Scottish Light Dragoons.Such unfortunate interference, under a partisan minister, will go as a matter of course.The council, too, will not \u2018make awkward reports, in which un- - pleasant truths will be told to the - -gountry to the shaming of those .responsible for what is defective in the organisation.It is doubtful if the wobange will in apy way make for efi- - clency, while It may make in some \u201c> Woÿa tor inefliciency.\u2014Montreal Ga- oo setts, * .KINGSCROFT.Me, Wm.MoClary his

carry Port Arthur by assaulting the outlying forts.The immediate need of taking One your (advance payment) #1.00 the place at any price ceased when 4f paid in six months, 1.25 General Kuropatkin was driven so far Af the end of the year, 180 back into Manchuria that it was no longer practical for him to send the garrison effective aid.Probably, too, the Japanese generals are beginning to understand that the saving of their own may be as important as the wasting of the enemy\u2019s men.Itis only a question of time when a thoroughly beleaguered fortress must fall for lack of food and fighting material, and just now the Russians do not seem to be getting anything into Port Arthur more substantial than proclamations.A SECOND MANCHURIAN ARMY.St.Petersburg, Sept.19.\u2014 Acting upon the advice of his military advisers, Emperor Nicholas has decided to form a second Manchurian army.It will be formed of the corps which are being sent to the Far East.Lieu- tenant-General Linevitch probably will be given the \u2018command of the second army.General Kuropatkin will become chief of both armies, but probably without the title of com- mander-in-chief.It is this impending re-organization which seems to have led to ihe countless rumors and reports afloat of Kuropatkin\u2019s super- session of Viceroy Alexeieff as com- mander-in-chief of the army, the latter\u2019a resignation, ete.; but, the Associated Press investigation indicates that the above is the real situation.The Associated Press is informed that Alexeieff will continue to be Viceroy and that as such he could not be subordinated in title to the commanding general, which would happen if Kuro- patkin was given the title of com- mander-in-chief.Nevertheless, the Associated Press is informed, Kuro- patkin virtuaily will be in complete, untrammelled command.As has been heretofore stated on bigh authority the stories of Alexeieff\u2019s interference with Kuropatkin are entirely without foundation.On the contrary Alexeieff has alwaye shown the utmost appreciation of tbe peculiar delicacy of his position as Kuro- patkin\u2019s superior, studiously avoiding even the semblance of interference with the operations of the Manchurian army.The Associated Press is authorized to again deny absolutely the story that Real- Admiral Prince Ouk- tomsky has been court martialled.It is positively stated that he has never been under arrest at Port Arthur and that there has never been a question of his trial by court martial.He has simply been superceded by Rear- Admiral Wiren in the temporary command of the Port Arthur squadron, which Ouktomsky took over when the late Admiral Withoft fell.This does not necessarily mean that the Admiralty is dissatisfied with Rear- Admiral Ouktomeky.On the contrary, his shortcomings are recognized, leading to the decision to place Rear- Admiral Wiren in command.The latest despatches received by the War Office here leave the situation at the front practically unchanged There is no truth in the report cabled to the \u2018Express\u2019 of London from To- kio that a battle is progressing at Mukden.There is nothing yet to show tbat Field Marshal Oyama has begun to move in force.The reported fighting between the Japanese and Major-General Mistchenko\u2019s Cossacks probably refers to the sharp skirmish south-east of Mukden, news of which has already been cabled to the Associated Press.SORTIE FROM PORT ARTHUR.London, September 19.\u2014A despatch from Tokio as a news agency says: \u2014 \u201cA strong Russian force made a sortie from Port Arthur the afternoon of September 18, and attacked the Eteeshon fort, which was recently captured by the Japanese.Fighting lasted some hours, and the Russians eventually were repulsed with heavy loss.\u201d STOSSEL\u2019S REPORT.St.Petersburg, Sept 20.\u2014The text of General Stossel\u2019s despatch is as follows: \u2014 \u2018Port Arthur, Sept.16.The enemy continnes daily to bombard the forts and batteries inside the fortress, but still without showing any great activity.\u201cThe wounded are recovering and eagerly resume their places in the ranks, They are heroes.\u2018The troops are In excellent spirits.\u2018At about three this morning at least one Japanese battalion attacked the redoubt protecting the water works.The garrisons of the redoubt repulsed the attack but the enemy re- osived reinforcements and renewed the attack after half an hour.The garrison again repulsed them with ri- until dark.All indications point to an effort to capture certain of the north-east main forts.NEW YORK CITY.Through the Deerfield Valley & Hoosac Monntains.Steamer Sail Down the Hudson River to New York; Back by Steamer and Train.All For $5.00 The vacation session in New England takes a new start in the fall of the year.The early vacationists have a desire to secure one more respite from the cares of business for a day or two, and a great many have made their preparations for a trip during autumn, when nature adorns in her most beautiful colors the foliage; when the song birds are whistling their farewell refrains; when the atmosphere is invigorating and healthful and the orchards are rosy in their display of mellow and ruddy fruit.This is the month when the Boston & Maine Railroad announces its grand annual New York Excursion from Boston, on October 6th, and from Providence, Worcester, Waltham, Concord, Ayer, Fitchburg, Athol, Gardner, Orange, Millers Falls and Greenfleld, October 6th.Going from Boston the train passes through Cambridge, Waltham, Concord and other beautiful and historical towns, noted for their scenic beauty and their historic and colonial association, on to Fitchburg and Gardner, passing through a region famed for its pastoral beauty, and finally entering into the famed Deerfleld Valley.The view from the passing train is perfect; winding along the course of the silvery Connecticut, the train follows towards the lofty mountains which we are gradually approaching.We enter the Hoosac Tunnel, and, emerging, Mt.Greylock, overlooking the town of North Adams, greets us.Williamstown, the site of Williams College, next appears to view, and here the Berkshire Hills in all their beauty may be witnessed to advantage.On we go through New York State, rushing through the busy city of Troy, and crossing the river to Albany.At Albany the train journey is ended.Embarking you can stop over night in Albany and visit the numerous interesting sights and take the Day Line Steamer sail down the Hudson, or go down on the night line boats the same night, viewing the Hudson River scenery by searchlight and moonlight.The inspiring and magnificent vision of the Hudson River flowing calmly and serenely at the foot of the giant Catskills is perhaps one of the most beautiful landscape pictures in this country.The steamer passes Rondout, Kingston, Esopus, made famous by Judge Parker\u2019s debut into politics, West Point, Poughkeepsie, sailing under the noted bridge, and from the decks of the steamer, you can look up at the remnants of the Old Palisades; at the cliffs of Dunderberg and the rocky promontory of historic Stony Point the busy appearance of the bay is a scene worth witnessing\u2014hundreds of crafte of every description, darting back and forth, or weighed at anchor, while their cargoes are busily being cared for, present a scene wholly unknown except to voyagers in New York Bay.The boat docks at Des- brosses Street and you are in a great Metropolis.New York hasattractions too varied to mention; and everybody knows just what he likes best \u2014 some for the parks; the stores; the theatres; the museums; or a trip to Coney Island.You can stop in New York until Oct.8th on Boston tickets and until Oct.7th on other tickets.It you desire, a stop-over of ten days may be had by payment of 62.00 at the Pier Line Office and depositing your ticket before the final limit of extension.Leaving New York, the palatial steamers of the Fall River & Providence Lines, according to destination, carry the passengers for return trip.$5.00 via the Boston & Maine Railroad pays for the round trip.Tickets will be on sale at Boston City Ticket Office, 822 Washington Street, and at Union Station, Boston, on and after September 24th, 1904, also at above mentioned stations.A beautiful illustrated souvenir and guide booklet, telling all about the trip and describing the interesting points passed, will be mailed to any address, free, by General l'assenger Department, Boston & Maine Railroad, Boston.Send your address requesting one and it will be mailed to you.That Baltic fleet struck a lot of high grade rumors before it was two days\u2019 sail from home.There is more

the buildings now under construction in St.Johns,\u201d says the News, \u2018for the Singer Sewing Machine Co, may be gleaned from the fact that upwards of 8 miles of railway track have already been laid on the premises and that upwards of 100 carloads of material have arrived upon the scene within a few days.The huge iron grinders are now being placed into position in the main building and when this is done the work of bricklaying will be pushed with vigor.Nine millions of brick will be used and 100,000 barrels of cement in the process of construction.HOLMES\u2014As Derby Line, Vt., ET to

The meeting of tho National Rifle Association at Disley was note worthy this year for tho advent of narkswomen, who have graced the ranges, says a London writer.Ono of them has in a remarkable way proved her prowess.There has been no serious lady competitor at Bisley since Miss Leals of Guernsey invaded tho firing point during the early nineties.Women, it | is true, have since appeared on the range from year to year, but they have been more noticeable for their novel costumes than their performances.The feminine expert, however, has come again at last, and the champion is Miss Florence Vivian Lewes of Staines.She is young, tall and handsome, and her figure, athletic but graceful, has added an ° interest to the ranges where usually wan holds undisputed sway.Miss Lewes shoots in a brown costume, beltod at the waist, and her jacket is fitted with leather elbow patches, A white shooting cap fits closely to her head, and in this serviceable kit she is finding work for the markers in patching up the bull's eye.Soon after gun-firc Miss Lewes rides up on her bicycle from Pirbright village, where she 18 a guest in a pretty villa.Seated on the range, she preparcs her rifle in the orthodox fashion, without as sistance.A glance at the flags tells her how much allowance to make for wind, and from her satchel is produced \u20ac vernier and pencil, with which the aiming lino is cdrefully drawn on the back-sight bar.All being ready, Miss Lewes invades the enclosure.A small, white hand tenders a sweepstake card to the sergeant register keeper, and it gives him pause.With an upward glance at the serious face, he gallantly prepares the firing mat for the fair competitor.Miss Lowes soon scitles to the shooting, and it is quite cvident that she enjoys it keenly.Sho has the steady nerve and the clear eye of the born shot, and as she covered her target at 200 yards on Saturday quite a host of shooting men halted in their course to watch her scoring bulls.She missed the

TO CAIRO RAILWAY.Cam Be Completed for Twelve Million Pounds Sterling -Will Open Up a Greas and Fertile Country-A Metwerk of Railways in the Future\u2014Progress in Stamping Out the Cattle Discase\u2014Line of Working.Sir Charles Metcalfe, who recently arrived in London, was interviewed Ly a representative of South Africa, with regard to the subjects of the Cape to Cairo Railway and the industrial prospects of Rhodesia.\u201cWell,\u201d Sir Charles said, in reply to a question as to what progress had been made with the Cape to Cairo line during the past few months, \u2018\u2018to go back a little way the line has been open right up to the Victoria Falls since June 320, and the hotel we have built there for the accommodation of visitors is a very comfortable one.It possesses every modern convenience, and from 4t there is obtained a beautiful view of the Zambesi Gorge.The cable-way across the gorge is working satisfactorily.The foundations of the bridge were being put in when I left and the steel work is now being erected.The line on the other side is being constructed, and we hope to have the bridge itsclf completed by the end of the year.By that time, too, the rails should be near Kalomo, which is about 100 miles north of Victoria Falls, and is the present seat of the Government of Northwest Rhodesia.\" \u2018\u201cThe line has been surveyed some distance beyond Kalomo, it not, Sir Charles?\u201d \u201cYes.for tho Broken Hill country, 360 miles beyond the falls.The line will for has cross the Kafue River at a point i where there is no flooding.\u2019\u2019 \u201cThen the continuation of the line stil] further north, beyond Broken Hill, will enable you to tap the Ka- tanga copper country, will it not?\u201d \u201cIt will do so presently.Hill is still some distance from the rich deposits of copper in the Ka- tai country.\u2019 \u2018Gordon Forbes, the leader of the Rhodesian delegates, informed me the other day that the people of Dulawayo and Salisbury objected to the profits earned by the Southern Rhodesia Railways being used for the extension of the line beyond the falls, because they contend that such profits should be applied to the re duction of rates, which they say are Dow very excessive.\u2019\u2019 \u201cI am afraid those people who ob- Ject to the extension do not far enough ahead.They objected to the line going beyond Bulawayo; but, since the section from Bulawayo to the falls was completed in June dast, at least 1,000 visitors have passed through Bulawayo, and that means that a great deal of money had been spent in that town.We don\u2019t make the railways to do noth- : ing with them.We hope that each section will pay its own expenses.Each section of the railway is built on common-sense lines, and with a distinct objective.\u201d \u201cIn linking up the Rhodesian railways with the line from Khartoum, Sir Charles, do you anticipate any serious engineering difficulties?\u2019\u2019 \u2018As far as I know, there is moth- Ing to stop us from an point of view.We are very luckÿ- in respect to bridges, for the only bridge we shall have to build for many hundred miles after crossing the Zambesi will be the one over thy Kafue River.After we get to Broken Hill a great deal will depend upon - the direction which the line takes, but there are no insurmountable difficulties before us.\u201d \u201cThen the other portion of the route has not yet been settled?\u201d \u201cNot yet, because we don\u2019t make lines without a distinct purpose.We only build them through the dis tricts which we sce offer the dest chance of giving us a remünerative trafic.If the Egyptian Government carry out the scheme of making a dam at Rosaire, they would probably extend the line from Khartoum to Rosaire, and this no doubt will eventually be joined up with the Uganda Railway, and a line six hundred miles in length would connect up the Uganda line and the Rhodesia line, ending at Lake Tanganyika, and when that is done the Cape to Cairo line will be practically complete.\u201d \u201cIt will take a great deal of time and much money to complete the line from the Cape to Cairo, I sup- \u201cI think the line could be completed for twelve millions more\u2014a moderates sum as compared with what bas been spent on other transcontinental railways.Unthinking people sometimes ask, \u2018But will it pay?Look at the map.There is a line through a fertile country which is from four to five thousand feet above oa level in a continent nearly two thousand miles wide.A hundred yours hence thers will be a \u2018network of railways.We in

antennae, or feelers, ants have five noses, each of which has its own duties to perform.\u2019 One nose tells $he ant whether it is in its own nest or that of an enemy; | another nose discriminatas between odors of ants of the same species, but of different colonies; a third nasal organ serves the purpose of discerning the scent laid down by the ant\u2019's own feet, so tht it may be able to retrace the way quite easily; a fourth nose smells the larvae and pupae, and the fifth pose detects the presence of an enemy.It an ant be deprived of a certain nose, it wil} live peaceably with ene mies, but if it retains its fifth nose it will fight the allen to the death, There is a difference in the functions of nose one and nose five, although they appear to be somewbat alike.This sense of smell does not come till the ants are three days old.If, therefore, ants only twelve hours old are placed among others belonging to different colonies, they will grow up quite amicably and not understand that they are a mixed lot, because they will have grown up with ideas of scent in accordance with their surroundings.The sense of smell to them ' is as important as the sense of sight to human beings.EARTH LIGHT.Evidences That Our Planet Possesases ' , @e Luminous Quality.In proof that tbe earth does emit light Humboldt (1808) points to the aurora borealis.The light produced by | this luminous arch is distinct from that received from the sun, and its intensity slightly exceeds that of the moon\u2019s light in her first quarter.At the poles this glow continues with scarcely a break, reminding us of the planet Venus, whose side turned away | from the sun often gives forth a feeble .phosphorescent light.Humboldt goes on to argue that oth- , er planets also may possess a similar luminous quality, and in our atmosphere there are other evidences of thie emission of light from the earth itself.Such were the famous dry fogs of 1783 and of 1831, which gave forth light perceptible at night, and such Is that diffused glimmer which guides our steps in the nights of autumn and winter, when clouds hide the stars and the earth 1s not covered with snow.It 18 therefore not entirely true that, as Sir Norman Lockyer puts it, \u201cthe earth cannot give out more light than a cold poker can.\u201d GENIUS AT WORK.Curlous Postares of Some Men te Woe a Flow of Ideas, Lombroso says that some men of genius in order to give themselves up to mediation even put themselves artificially into a state of cerebral semi- congestion.Schiller worked best with bis feet plunged into ice.Descartes buried his head in a sofa while medi- | tating, while Milton composed with his head leaning over his easy chair.Paisiello composed beneath a mountain of bedclothes, and Rossini found bed the best place for his best works.Cujas worked lying prone on the carpet, and Liebnits is said to have been obliged to assume the horizontal to meditate at all satisfactorily.Rousseau worked with his head in the full glare of the sun, Shelley on the hearth rug with his head close to the fire, and Bossuet, retiring to a cold room, wrapped his head in hot cloths, It is possible that some of these devices increased the flow of arterial blood to the head, just as many can think best when exhilarated by rapid exercise or by walking up and down a room.Whistler and His Tafler, \u201cCurious enough,\u201d wrote Mortimer Menpes, \u201cwhenever one came in contact with Whistler one entirely forgot one\u2019s own affairs and became completely occupied with his.The fit of the master\u2019s coat was far more impor-' tant to me than my own artistic work.At the tailor\u2019s Whistler would give an elaborate description of how a certain coat was to be made, and the tailor would carry out his directions literally.But no sooner had the man accomplished the work than Whistler would say: \u2018This ie all wrong.How dare you say that it is what I told you to do?I am a painter.It is not my business to Therefore you should have led me to do what you knew to be right\u2019 * Right to the Point, To do even the most humble work worthily and well something more than blind mechanical service must be giv-

to small set- tiers lies in the fact that it is pre eminently a produce country, and that in time it will be able to export all kinds of products.\u201d \u2018Cotton and tobacco, for in stance?\u2019 ' \u201cYes, we can grow the very finest tobacco and cotton.As to the tobacco, what I am very pleased about is that we are able to produce the very best leaves\u2014really cigar wrapper leaves\u2014and the finest kind of Turkish cigarette tobacco.It grows admirably out there and there is a great future before the industry.And what is true of tobacco is true of the cotton also.\u201d \u201cHow ere the efforts to stamp out the cattle disease progressing, Sir Charles?\u201d \u201cVery well indoed.The farmers, especially in the eastern districts of Rhodesia, are dipping and spraying their cattlo and horses constantly, with the result that they are cleaning the veld of every sort of \u2018tick.\u2019 *\u2019 \u201cAnd the effect of these precautions will be\u2014?\"\" \u201cThe effect will be that presently we shall hear no more about cattle disease, and once the veld has been thoroughly cleaned, the dipping and spraying can be discontinued for a while.\u201d **The authorities at home took very drastic measures for the stamping out of cattle disease when the latter was prevalent in England some years agd, Sir Charles, but other methods appear to be adopted in Rho- esia.\"\u2019 \u201cYes.What happened in England was this.The authorities\u2019 only idea of stopping disease was by exterminating all diseased animals.In Africa we try to find a remedy.We were successful in doing so in the case of rinderpest and hope to be equally successful in dealing with other discases.We don't propose to destroy thousands of valuable cattle if there 1s any hope of \u2018finding an effective cure for the evil, and I; think there is every prospect of; stamping out cattle disease in Rhodesia without having recourse to such drastic measures as were adopted in England when foot-and-mouth disease and swine fever raged in the old country.\u201d out of it, and make their home.\u2018 to The Heir ef Aberdeen.Lord Haddo, who has been re commended for adoption by the executive of the East Berks Liberal Association: as the candidate for that division at the next general election, comes of a family in which the Glad- stonian cult finds expression even in baptismal nomenclature.Four baronies, of which Haddo stood first, the Viscounty of For- martine, and the Earldom of Aberdeen rewarded in 1682 the loyalty of 8ir George Gordon, third baronet of & creation of 1642.His father, the first daronet, had withstood the Covenant to its face, had been besieged in his house at Kelly and bad been beheaded at Edinburgh.The dignity had been under forfeiture till the Restoration, Merged in the earldom, the present Sir John Campbell Gordon, seventh earl, has mo mind that it shall be submerged.Haddo, as a style, has been much more unfortunate.The first earl\u2019s first son who bore it died unmarried, and v.p., before 1708.George Gordon, Lord Haddo, son and heir apparent of the third earl, born in 1764, died v.p.at Formartine House, 1791.So it was that the earldom developed upon a grandson.He was the statesman who, over the signature of the Treaty of Paris, 1814, got the U.K.peerage, and whose eventful premiership of 1852-5 made him one of the few K.G.'s who have been allowed to retain their K.T.But his first son and heir apparent had borne the style of Lord Haddo for but a few hours when he died in 1810.And the sixth earl, born in 1841, and styled Lord Haddo from 31860 to 1864, died unmarried, in 1870, drowned while serving on the Hera, in the course of his voyage from Boston to Melbourne.The present earl, who recently celebrated his fifty-seventh birthday, succeeded as only surviving brother.Hitherto Haddo has not figured extensively in Parliamentary - annals.The fifth earl was M.P.for Aber- decnshire, 1854-60.The third earl Was a representative peer.The se cond earl was elected for Aberdeen- shire in 1708, but was declared by the House of Commons to be incapable of sitting for any shire or borough in Scotland as the eldest son of a Scots peer.Such eldest sons, it was held, was themselves peers.Presumably, this prohibition does not hold good in the case of English shires and boroughs,

Su\"erstition That Is Associateé With July 15.St Swithin's day falls on July 15, and in England there is à superstition that if it rains on that date the suc- reading forty days will be wet, and if, on the contrary, St.Swithin's day be fair then the succeeding twoscore days will likewise be pleasant.The superstition is venerable, for one old his- torlan remarks that \u201cSt.Swithin, a holy bishop of Winchester, about the year B60 was called the weeping St.Swithin, for that gbout his feast Prae- sepe and Aselli, rainy constellations, arise cosmically and commonly cause rain.\u201d Another version of the story is that the good bishop left orders at his death that be should be buried in the open churchyard and not in the chancel The monks, however, disobeyed the wishes of their dead and laid him ta rest on July 15 within the minster, whereupon rain fell heavily and continually till on the fortieth day the offending priests became alarmed and hastened to fulfill their dead bishop's request, Statistics furnished by the officials at Greenwich observatory discredit the accuracy of the whole tale, The figures for one period of twenty years go to show that the greater number of rainy days after St.Swithin's day followed a dary July 15.A PAINTER\u2019S ARTIFICE.The Secret of the Color In One of Turner's Pictures.The late Mr.Horsley, R.A., has recorded that at one time he studied almost daily one of Turner's finest water colors, called \u201cThe Snowdon Range,\u201d admiring especially the tender warmth of the light clouds encircling the moon.He tried all sorts of glasses to see if he could discover how the particular glow was gained, but without success.Chance revealed the secret.The picture began to buckle from its mount, and its owner, Sir Seymour Haden, put it into the hands of a noted expert to be remounted.When be had suc- cesafully removed it from its old mount the expert sent for the owner to show him what he had discovered.A circle of orange Vermilion had been plastered on the back with an ivory palette knife where the artist wanted the effect and then worked off sufficiently far through the pores of the previously wetted paper to give the show of color, while retaining the smooth surface, without a trace of workmanship on the right side.This may have Jed Mr.Horsley himself to use, as he did, brilliant orange as the foundation for a white muslin dress.OPEN AIR STATE JAIL.Primitive Place of Confinement In Montenegro.The open air state jall of Cettinje, Montenegro, is unique in Europe.This primitive place of confinement Is sit- nated in the principal public square of the Montenegrin capital.Persons guilty of such minor offenses as assault or petty thefts are sentenced to imprisonment in the open air jail.The prisoners are allowed to roam about the square at will, the mere fact that they have been deprived of their weapons being considered appropriate punishment.At night the prisoners are reinoved to a room in the town hall, where they have far more comfortable quarters than they would have at home.The thought of escaping from their open air jall seldom occurs to them, and even if it did there is no place where they could find refuge.The Montenegrins are, above all, men of bonor, and were a prisoner to escape the population of Cettinje would soon be at the heels of the fugitive guilty of having broken his promise not to attempt to escape.A Clock Withoet Works, In the courtyard of the palace of Versailles ts a clock with one hand, called L'Horloge de la Mort du Roi.It contains no works, but consists merely of a face in the form of a sun, surrounded by rays.On the death of a king the hand is set to the moment of his demise and remains unaitered till his successor has joined him in the grave.This custom
