Two Live BrRnt.


 Mr. Frederick Mather, Assistant United States Fish Commissioner, received yester- day present of 8 pair of live brant. He intends sending them to Central Park, and Mr. w. A. Conklin, the superintendent of the menagerie, has promised to look after them Later on MT. Mather will have them sent to @ well known trout breeding faIm on Long Island, where be trusts they will mate and breed. The geese were wing tipped last winter on the Virginia broad water by New York sportsman who was shooting there, and after a hard chase they were captured in the shoal water and confined in pen. Although, from time to time, brant have been domesi- eated both here and in Europe, they have never been known to follow the example of the other varieties of geese by breeding in confinement. As yet their nesting resorts have never been discovered by ornithologists or Arctic explorers. Indeed, the surmise that there are open seas at the Pole has been principally based on the observations made of the habits of this mysterious fowl As far north as the explorers have reached the brapt have still been seen winglng their way northWard. Their food is known to consist mainly. of marine grasses, which grow only on the shoals. This, perhaps points more to open seas at the extreme north than any other evidence yet brought to light On the day after the geese were secured they became very tame and almost instantly recognized the person who fed them. They would run to the side of their enclosure and take sea grass and cabbage leaves from his hand. They arrived here yesterday from the South in fine condition, and when given their fiber ty they at once proceeded to eat good break fast of corn and make their toilets. Of all the five varieties of geese this fowl is the most beautiful it this time brant are mi grating northward where they will meet the | ice on the coast of Labrador. It IS presumed that they descend from their aerial route and feed at the springs above Hudson Bay and in | Greenland on tkeir way to their bowers at ! the Pole

He had married, and only the life of brother-in-law, a 19-year- old boy, suffering from spinal complaint, stood between his wife and little fortune of $17, 800. Her getting it, however, depended on the boys dying in his minority. Dr.
 Lamson visited his brother in law, who was at school in Wimbledon in the course of chat produced some gelatine capsules; gave one to the master and another, filled with sugar, to the boy, who swallowed it kept the rest of thevcapsules saying they would come handy when the lads had to take medi- cine, and went away. The boy sickened and died that night. A post mortem indicated the presence of some powerful vegetable poi son. It was ascertained that the doctor had bought aconite a little before. Aconite was found in some of the capsules It is expect ed that Dr, Lamson will be hung about April

The action of the Maine Prohibitionists in running candidates of their own in the re- cent town and city elections when the Re- publican candidates were well-known tem- Perance men, is raising the question in that State whether the intolerance of this faction is not becoming uncomfortable. The Portland Adoertjser says that the prohibitory law has become the settled policy of the State, that the Republican party has shown no disposi- ton to annul it. and that the controversy would be removed from practical politics were it not that the Prohibitionists seem de- termined to compel every body not only to acquiesce in their policy, but to believe in it also

which made England and France Egypt's as
signees IN bankruptcy. Foreign influence being
yet paramount, and foreign tax-eaters still
swarmlng over the land, the peasant still yielded
his crops and starved while they went to pamper
foreign officials and creditors. Arab Bey being
at the head of the army, defeated the budget and
ranked Tewfk. Then popular outbreaks drove
out the foreigners, and England, with her power
dehed, her Suez canal threatened, and her eapi
tasts pleading for the protection of their agents
found her action in the premises seriously bandi-
capped by the unexpected complications. Arab
Bey well understands that Germany is not in
with Englands idea, and that France
is growing lukewarm towards her British allv.
He looks upon himself as the future deliyerer of
Egypt, and in that spirit has prepared to meet

realization of his ambition.
