THE LOCATION OF THE FARM.
A location near town or city should
always be aimed at, as it secures the
best advantages. Eggs produced daily
the year around, and which are priced
for being fresh, should be raised as close
to market as possible, then the highest
rate may be obtained, the special aim
being to supply the demand for better
eggs than those can be that are packed
and sent great distances. The jaring is
more or less injurions-when shipped
from long distance-and after it eggs
will keep but a little while, unless packed
in the way Matching eggs are, which is
too expensive for market use. As team
must be sent every day or two to collect
waste bits from the meat market, eggs
can be sent when only day or two old,
with no extra trouble. Thus the expense
of delivery is small.
Mr.. III. H. Stoddard in his work on the
egg Farm" says as follows: Under
our plan, eggs are delivered directly to
consumers, families being visited regu-
larly once week. The egg route has Its
advantage over the milk route, that 1T
need not be traversed so often, only a
sixth of the whole being travelled daily
think Mr.. Stoddard S plan a good one
and at some future date | may adopt it,
SO then DeLand may have an egg as
well as a milk route. Mr.. Stoddard goes
on to say Consumers readily appreci-
ate eggs, butter or other produce that
comes from a regular, responsible
source. Where lot of eggs are mixed
! with lots from other farms, its individual
| ity is lost +; if good, it may only be help
ing to sell the poor article of somebody
else. and the producer does not reap th'
benefit of his pains in increased custom
No produce can be supplied to city dwell
lers to better mutual advantage to. selle

market causing much loss and vexatIon.
Poultry farms at the west have the
benefit of cheap land and grain, but al
the South | think there is a much great
er profit to be realized on account of the
climate where the season is earlier, anC
land is also cheap When poultry at the

A TRHUNDERsToRM THEoRY.-At a re-
cent German scientific congress, DIR. S
Hoppe, of Hamburg, endeavored tc
prove that the electricity of storms
is generated by the friction of vapor par
ticles. This view was strengthened bv
experiments in which compressed cold
air Was allowed to rush into a warm,
moist air,-a large amount of electricity
being THUS produced. Heconcludes that
the rise of column of warm moist air
into the colder atmosphere above will
be followed 10y thunderstorm if it ac:
quires sufficient velocity to prevent neu-
traIizati0n of the electricity generated by
the frictSon Of the air. Hence, he regards
open districts as more liable to thunder
storms than wooded regions, where the
ire es preWentfhe rapid rise of humid air
currents.
ERRORS CORRECTED of the
Smithsonian Institute, has contradicted
much OF the popular belief concerning
snakes. The venomous hoop snake,
(which takes it's tail in its mouth and
rolls along like hoop, and the blow
snake, the breath of which is poison,
exist only in imagination. The idea
that serpents sting with the tongue is err
roneous. An impression prevails that
the number of poisonous snakes is great,
but IN North America there are but three
speGies-the rattesnake, the copperhead
or moccasin, and the coral. Snakes do
not jump they reach suddenly forward
perhaps half the length of their bodies.
The practice of scalping is not peculiar
to the American aborigines. Southall,
in his Recent Origin of Man." quotes
from Herodotus to show that the Scyth-
ians used to scalp their fallen enemies.
In the present time the wild tribes of
Northeastern Bengal use the scalping
knife.
A new test for tea is the amount
of ashes yielded, the quantity being great

FRENCH CATHOLICS
In Fall River Object to an Irish Pastor
Will Appeal to Rome.

FALL RIVER, Jan. 8.
The tronble at the French Catholic church
of Notre Dame de Lourdes, caused by the ap.
pointment of an Irish Catholic pastor instead
of the French Canadian desired by the con-
gregation, is still unsettled, Bishop Hendrick-
en- having positively refused to appoint a
French pastor. An effort is being made to
obtain the intervention of the authorities at
Rome. liquidation from the parish has
gone to Montreal to interview Catholic digDi-
taries there in regard to the matter. Another
depudation has gone to New York to lay the
case before Cardinal McCloskey. A petition
will then be sent to Rome to ask the inter-
vention of the papal authorities. The trouble
arises from the strong national feeling of the
French Canadians and Irish Catholics, be-
tween the tw races. In Canada, Irish pas
tors are placed in charge of Irish Catholics,
and the French Canadians claim a similar
privilege here.
Hendricken refuses to recognize race dis
tinctions or prejudices, and claims that as
Father McGee, the present pastor, was edu-
Gated in Canada and speaks French tiuently,
he is able to attend to the needs of the par
ish. The question is of more than local I'M
portance, as it is conceded that in case of a
decision from Rome in favor of appointing a
French Canadian pastor, similar demands
would be made by many settlements of French
Canadian Catholics throughout New Eng
land, now in charge of IIish Catholic pas
tors.

SPRINGER INVESTIGATION.
The Examination OF Witnesses-Amusins
Testimony During the
Investigation.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 9.

CINCINNATI, JAM y.
Before the Springer investigation commit
tee, today. Alderman Duffy of the Sth ward.
testified the trouble began in that ward at 8
o'clock, when a colored voter was challenged
and the Judge proposed that he should be tax
en- to the place claimed as his residence
Colored deputy marshals jumped from the
curb into the street where they formed in line
and drew revolvers but did not shoot then
The boys of the ward got dray pins and other
clubs. The negroes also armed themselves
with clubs, After a little skirmishing, the
boys got close to the negroes who opened fire
on them. The shots sounded like bunch
of fire crackers. Several men were wounded
and a charge was made on the negroes, who
fled. The witness said that early in the
morning, the negroes had possession of the
polls and voted as they pleased. The witness
created merriment by describing how the su-
pervisor of the polls, who was in the house,
whispered to negroes on the sidewalk. He
said: "Botts had just leaned out of the win
dow and pulled one of the coon's ears up to
him. and later he said that he saw a colore
man "walk towards a crowd at the polls, and
when 80 feet away, pull his pistol and let her
60" Then said the witness, the boys took
after the negro and as he supposed, put a
head on him. Chairman Springer raped in
vain for order during this recital.

A speech by Mr.. ParneIl-He Prophesie.
Home Rule in the Near Future.

DUBLIN, Jan. Q.
Mr.. Parnell addressed a meeting at Tip
peragy last night.
Four years ago, he said the men of Tippe-
rary helped him to unfurl the banner of the
League there. The movement had become
history and proved to be of great service to
the Irish people A similar point in the his
tory of Ireland had now been reached. What
the agitation had already gained was infn-
itessimal as compared with the full reward to
be secured by it.
Mr.. Psrnell said that he believed that the
great power Of franchise. recently conferred,
would be judiciously used.
Although in an alien parliament, he prom
ised the farmers the full fruits Of their toll
and much larger reduction than the pre-
tended fair rents of the land court, which
meant bankruptcy, would give them. Land
lordism would soon disappear when really
fair rents were obtained. He looked for.
ward to the extension of the laborers act to
give laborers share in their natural heritage
and advised the tenant farmer in justice to
the laborers to avoid coercion. 1t was i'm.
possible, he declared, for home rule to be
long delayed.

trsdesmen in Dublin against the corporation
to prevent the remaining Of streets by thai
