A TANK ON WHEELS.

One of the palace cars belonging to
the United States Fish Commission
started recently for California with a
passenger list of young fish number
ing $4,000 The car IN its appear
ancc, and to a large extent in its
internal arrangements. resembles a
modern sleeping car. There are the
compartments at each end. In the
one compartment is what may be
called the office of the superintend-
ent. Here is a table fixed between
two seats, with hanging lamp above.
The space above the two ice tanks,
which are bnilt upon each side of the
passage-way, and are used when
necessary to cool the air that passes
through the fish tanks in the car, is
utilized for pigeon holes. The COM
partment at the other end is used for
IA kitchen. The central part Of the
car has an aisle running through the
center, and, in place of the seats on
each side, are wide wooden lodges
about three feet high, on which are
placed the tin fish tanks. Berths
like those in sleeping cars are along
the side for the use of the superin-
tendent and his assistants. The
dining table is placed in the aisle,
with seats in the lodges. The human
passengers, as well as the fish, live
in the car.
Tho fish are not placed in the
tanks filled with water, Is the motion
of the train would dash the water
about and destroy many lives among
the young passengers. Instead,
aoout twenty fish are placed in gallon
tin pals, and these pals are put in
the tanks, and then the latter filled
with water. With the carp, how
ever, the water in the pals is sufficient
and the motion of the car tends to the
circulation of air in the water, keeping
it fresh. The attendants, however
renew the water every eight hours
and keep a careful watch to remove
any fish that may have died. The
percentage Of fish lost by. death is
however, very small.
The fish do not complete theil
travels when they leave the car. Fol
instance: The first stop which will
be made by this car will be at St
Louis, where fish will be left fol-
applicants residing in Missouri and
Arkansas From this point pals ol
fish will be sent all over the States
by express at the expense of the con
Signee.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

FARMERS SONS.

The grandest product of the farm
is the boys and girls. In every av-
enue of life where thrift. capacity
and energy are required, the man
who pushes to the front is the son of
a farmer. He has the intelligence.
There is a sort of broad common sense
running through his acts. He has a
constitution that endures labors. 1t
Is notable fact that in the colleges
of our country the best students are
the boys from the farm. In the
workshop, in the halls of legislation,
at the bar, in the forum, in the pull
pit, Observation-Disclosures of the
men who stand upon the summit were
once boys on a farm. They went
barefooted, wore patched clothes,
and worked for their bread. Almost
one-half of the people in this coun-

hand, he passes the elegant home OF
the town boy, and he looks in or
ease and luxury for the first time
He may be called a tramp, and bt

THE BEST BREED OF HENs.-At a
meeting of New Jersey poultry breed
ers an endeayor was made to settle
the yeXed question as to the best
breed of poultry for general purpos-
es. Members present had expert
mented with the Brahmas, Langshans
and Houdans, not only for egg pro-
duction but for market purposes.
The majority of the breeders favored
the Langshans. The merits claimed
for this breed are large size. long
season of laying. rarely sitting, and
enduring the climate we'll. The
chicks grow rapidly and realize high
prices when put in the market.

HEALTHY HOMES.

Robert Rawlinson, c. E., London,
don, has given the following rules
for securing healthy houses in his
s'Letters and Papers on Sanitary
Questions"
The subsoil beneath the house
should be naturally dry, or should be
made dry by land draining.
The ground floor should not be
below the level of the land, street or
road outside.
A site excavated in the side of a
hill or steep bank is liable to be dan
gerous, as external ventilation may
be defective, and the sub-soil water
from above may soak toward and
beneath such houses. Middens, ash
pits and cesspools, if at the back,
must also faint the easements.
Cesspools, cesspits, sink-holes OF
drains must not be formed nor re-
tanned within house easements.
The ground around dwelling hous-
es should be paved, tagged, asphalt
ed, covered with concrete, or gray
elled.
Outside channels should be in good
order and regularly cleaned.
House caves should be guttered
and spouted.
Swill tubs should not be placed
near doors or windows.
Pigsties should always be at safe
distance, and where pigs are kept
there should be rigid cleanliness
Improperly keeping pigs has caused
more human sickness and destroyed
more lives than all the battles the
country has ever engaged in.
Many houses, from the mansion te
the cottage, are unwholesome fol
some of the following reasons:
Damp and unventilated Easements
Rotten timber in floors and skirt
ings and tainted wallpaper.
Kitchen sinks in improper place.

Rooms without adequate mean.

Water closets in improper places

Houses are unwholesome from &C
cumulated carelessness and persona

Rooms are not sufficiently cleaned
Carpets are left down and neve

| Windows are seldom opened.
Water closets are neglected an
without ventilation.
Dirty beds are unmade and shroud

THE POLAR HARE.

Far away TO the north of US stretch
es land white with snow during
most of the year, where bleak winds
in unobstructed fury sweep over de-
serted wastes; where night hangs
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1883-11-19

like somber cloud for months and
months unbroken, and where those
crystal mountains called icebergs are
born. There is the home OF the po-
lar hare. There, where man aimless-
IL wanders in a vain search for food
or shelter, this dainty creature
thrives.
Strangely enough, however, it
sometimes happens that men are
oyertaken by starvation in the midst
of numbers of polar hares. This is
because the little creature has a pc
culiarity which makes it difficult for
the inexperienced hunter to shoot it.
When approached. it seems to
have no fear at all, but sits up APP
parently waiting for the coming hunter.
just, however, as the probably hum
CRY man begins to finger the trigger
of his gun, and to eat in anticipation
the savory stew, the hare turns about
and bounds actively away to a safe
distance, and, once more rising upon
it's launches, sits with provoking
air of seeming unconsciousness until
the hunter is again nearly within gun
shot, when it once more jumps away.
This must be tantalizing enough to
well-fed sportsman, but how heart
breaking to the man who knows that
not only his own life, but the lives of
all his comrades as we'll, depends
upon the capture of the pretty Great
ure.
Notwithstanding, however, the
appar impossibility of approach
ing near enough to the hare to shoot
it, there is in reality very simple
way to accomplish it. This plan is
practiced by the natives, who no
doubt have learned it after many a
hungry failure. 1t consists in walk
ing in a circle around the animal,
gradually narrowing the circle until
within the proper distance. Simple
as this plan is, it is so effective that,
with care, the hunter may get within
fifty yards of the hare, which seems
completely bewildered by his circular
course.

KEEP THE BEST GEESE. 1t is time
and money lost to raise common
geese when there are breeds that are
vastly more profitable. Emden and
Toulouse are the most popular breeds.
A poultryer, in one of our exchang-
es, says that the produce of Emden
geese crossed by Toulouse gander
lays on sound flesh rapidly. Cos
lings may be put up to fatten at five
or six weeks old; then seven weeks
should bring them to perfection if
properly fed.

MAKE THE BARNS COMFORT
ABLE

It has now become so late in the season
that few will think of building new barns.
but they should try and make the old ones
comfortable. And this especially on the
approach of winter. If the siding is poor.
board It up on the inside of the studs, and
then fill up the space between with Swale
hay, straw or shavings. If the underpin-
ming is loose, chink it up before frost. II
the floors of the stalls are rotten or worn
thin, repair them or pull them up and lay
new floors before the stock break through
and break their legs. ANY handy farmer
can attend to such jobs on leisure days,
with small expense except for the board
and nails.
