In Antigua the mortality among
infants is also a grave question, as
appears from this article in an issue OF
the Antigua Observer from April this
year,
The Coroners' Courts have been
actively employed since the Act re-
curing Inquests to be held under
certain conditions on the bodies of
Infants dying under the age of n
year came into operation a few weeks
ngo, and the inquisitions have dis
closed IN many cases a dcFIoro5le
state Of things among the humber
class of the population. One woman
was sem on last week on a charge OF
murder by wilfuI neglect Of her
young child, the post norton eXaml-
nation showing that the infant had
been literally starved to death, while
medicine which had been given by
the District doctor for some aiIment
was never administered to the child.

was proposed to recommend the des-

Egyptian troops for the relief of the

that the British Government has any
responsibility for Berber which it has
not for Kassala, SEMINAR, Darfur, or
any other Egyptian garrison outside
Egypt itself. The town can avoid
massacre, if it pleases, by submitting
to the besiegers, as the garrison of
Tokar did, and were not hurt.

Nubar Pasha, in a conversation
with the correspondent ofthe Times,
at Cairo, has given his impression Of
his own position as head of the Egyp-.

from the English conception Of It.
He does not intend to be a dummy
by any means. The English may con
troll the Army and the Finance, but
he intends to control the Ministry of
the Interior that is, to govern the
country. He would accept English
ideas, but would administer for him.

waged by farmers against all birds, ex-
cept a few popular songsters, and most
boys are taught that birds and birds'nests
are their rightful prey. These little crea-
lures DO some damage tmust be admitted.
They will pick up seed that has not been
we'll covered, but that ought to teach the
farmer to SOW his seeds more carefully.
They will feast upon tho ripe grain, and
sometimes destroy more than they eat;
but the farmer seldom considers that he
light not have had any grain to harvest,
were it not for, these same feathered in
truders. During the time between SOW
ing and harvesting, birds must live upon
something besides grain, and fancy that
farmers seldom think that that something
is principally insects, and the eggs OF in
scots. They rear their young on these,
and one can hardly estimate the immense
number of insects thus destroyed. Were
it not for the safeguard that nature has
kindly furnished us in the form OF the
feathcrcd race, the world would, accord
ing to the best calculations, be completely
Overrun in few years of uninterrupted
propagation, with crawling, singing

do, and we should aid them with all the
means at our command; certainly we can
not afford TO destroy our protectors Ev-

cherish and protect their feathored friend.
Encourage the birds, and children too, by
building bird-houscs about the farm build

and thus serve two purposes IT once-ac-
customing them to the use OF tools, and

TIE BEST SToCK TIE CaEAPEST.-It may
ton principle-that the very best and
purest stock that is really adapted to the
end in view, should be sought after. II
costs even less to feed \ horse of g0od
tain scrub: il costs no more TO shelter
him; it costs less to groom him and keep
him in condition than it does to keep the
scrub from looking like scarccrOw. His
movement is almost invariably smoother
and s,cadier for the same rate OF speed !;
his temper is generally better, his pluck
and energy not less so, and If it Is found
necessary to put him upon the market he
brings better price. The service of q
stallion known TO be of good blood, and
possessing adequate powers Of transmits
sion, must OF course cost more. There
must be dam adapted TO the obtaining OF
foal of the best type possible from such
a sire; but the penny-wise pound-foolish
policy of refusing 10 avail ones self of
these advantages when in the bounds OF
possibility, IS 100 apparent. Taking it for
granted, then, that the best in this case is
always the cheapest, that the finer and
purer tie horse can be, other things being
equal, the more useful, moro easily main
tanned, ana more marketable he is bound
TO be, it remains TO consider some points
that must always be regarded by the In
tcliigcn- breeder, who seeks wisely to adj
just means to tho end rather than to trust
to chance.-FarDs, FTeid end I6eS5Gc.

Garfield Ne ws.

The following Garfield items are
from the Lyon County Times:
Archie harrington will put about
fifty men at work in his mines in a
short time.
The mill being put up by harrington,
near Garfield, will be in running order
about the first of next month, and he
will start in working rock that will so
in the neighborhood of $500 ton.
Harrington has his three mines, the
Western, Alherton and Belle, now run
ming. A FIVE foot ledge has been de-
veloped ON the Belle and the rock is
very rich.
Work is going on in the Hindley
mine, owned by some Dayton parties,
and the prospects are good; Two men
are working and have tunnel in 600
feet. A ledge was struck at 450 that
carried ore assaying 5000. The vein
is small one. 80
Mr.. Moss has discovered very good
prospect which he is now working nine
men on. The rock contains only gold,
is free milling and very rich. A shaft
has been sunk 200 feet and the ledge
cut two or three times. A soon as a
good mill site can be found Mr.. Moss
will put up five or tenstamp mill.
