Fifty years ago n schooner, out on
fishing expedition, and driven from her
course by an adverse gale, made for ST.
Paul's. an island IN the South Indian
Ocean. The captain, Frenchman, from
Bourbon. effected q landing, and was
surprised to find there Pole. q brother
OF the illnstrious Kosciusko, in quiet
possession Of the island, which he had
occupied since the year 1919. How he
came there, whether placed in exile,
forced or voluntary, is unknown The
Frenchman, busy, energetic man Of
the world, turned his discovery to some
account. and seeing the capabilities OF
the island, he made for Port Louis,
MAuritius. freighted his schooner with
tools. seeds. stores and poultry, and re-
turned 10 ST. Paul's, determined TO es-
tablish there n permanent hshing
station. He found the Pole still the sole
occupier of the island. Setting Rgor-
ously 10 work with two colored and
a white man, whom he had brought with
him. thew commenced the process OF
civilization by digging mp the ground
and sowing their seeds. They built also
two small wooden houses and shed for
their stores, constructed a landing place,
and made every preparation within their
power. for establishing q quiet, snug
fishing harbor. Seeing things thus in
progress the Frenchman, loading has
craft with fish, returned to Port Louis
to sell his cargo. In 1890 the Pole left
the island, on receiving from the French
man g., 900 by way of compensation.

lew persons are aware OF the value,
variety aud weight Of dogs, varying as
they do from $50 pounds % less than
one pound, an valued at from $500 b
less than nothing. A description Of
different kinds oi dogs may be interest
ing.
The Siberian bloodhound weighs
about leo pounds, measures forty
inches in grit, and ia worth nearly $500.
The s. Bernard dog, which Is bun
or light lead color, is very large and
valuable.
The Newfoundland dog, when pure,
is entirely black, and its pups are worth
from $40 10 $40
The shepherd dog, or Scotch cooly,
is wonderful for its patience, fidelity
and bravery. 1t is worth from $50 TO
800.
The English mastiff, good watch
dog, is worth from 9l5 10 S25.
or terriers, the black-and-tan Is most
admired. Itvaries in weight from one
pound 20 twenty five pounds, and in
creases in value as il decreases in weight.
Terriers are often crossed with the ltAl-
ian grey hound, producinga very delicate
but extremely useless dog. The Scotch
terrier is the hardest Of dogs, is very
courageous, and is worth from $40 to
$50.
Scotch deer-hounds are the rarest and
most valuable OF hunting dogs. They
are owned principally 10y the nobility OF
England, and are worth 500 each.
The beagle is the smallest of the
hound kind, has superior scent aud en-
durance, and, in short, is the best sori
OF rabbit hunter.
English greyhounds. the leetest Of
dogs, are worth from S25 20 500 each.
The italian greyhound is merely a
parlor dog. The pure breed is rare and
valuable, a fine one being worth $3.50.
There is a great variety of pointers,
settlers and spaniels. The Prince
Charles variety is the most valua-
bic Of spaniels. He is supposed
to have originated in Japan, where
a similar breed exists. He has n
large, full eye, black-and-tan color, and
never weighs over ten pounds They
have been sold at auction in England at
81, 900 each.
The coach dog is from Denmark, and
is not OF much value.

Feeding Fowls

Where fowls have free range It is the
most economical 20 feed them twice
day. The fowls should be let out early
in the morning, in fact, II their is no
fear of enemies or thieves, the hen
house had better be left open so that the
birds can come ont st viii. This they
will do nj daybreak, and by wandering
over the fields secure large amount OF
worm and insect food. They should
receive their meal at a fixed hour, and
Immediately after breakfast is usually n
convenient time. SO much depends
upou the size of the birds, that 1t rs
impossible 20 give precise rule as to
the quantity OF grain TO be given to
eanh. II is evident that Dorking Of
ten pounds weight and a game fowl OF
four pounds would require very differ
ent quantities Of food. Again, more food
is required to keep mp the due amount
of animal heat in winter than in sum-
mer. When a hen is producing eggs
she will eat nearly twice the amount OF
food that she requires ut another time.
Hence the successful poultry b g der
will need TO observe carefully the
requirements of his fowls, and govern
himself accordingly. The best rule,
both as TO quantity and time is to give
the fowls full meal in the morning,
and second shortly before going to
roost. There is one important advan-
tage dependant on having fixed hours OF
feeding, namely, that the birds soon be.
come accustomed to them, and do not
hang about the house door all day long,
as they do if irregularly aud frequently
fed. They consequently obtain greater
amount OF food for themselves, and are
less troublesome than they otherwise
would be.-Anlericdn CuItiVGt0r.

twice at least and dragged it down upon
the ground from the rookery. 1 beat on
the dog and hit the snake two blows
with a piece Of split bamboo seven feet
long and quite supple, held near one
end. Very little injury could have been
inflicted on the snake by these blows,
which were made quite at random; and

carried il away, and was found few
minutes afterward forty yards of worry.

throat, and had killed. The cobra (the
head Of which I have preserved) was
three feet seven inches long, with dis
tinct spectAcles and perfect fangs. The
dog is alive, and was not the least III
