A Model step.Mether.

Josiah Gillette of Rood street has 100 or more fowls. About 8 month ago one of his Wyandotte hens hatched 8 brood of chickens. MT Gillette then removed number of Plymouth Rock spring chickens from their accustomed roasting place or apartment and placed the Wyandotte hen and her chickens therein. One little Plymouth Rock pull let evidently thought "there is no place like home" for she would nightly steal back to her accustomed perch. Soon the Wyandotte hen sickened and died leaving brood of three-weeks' old chicks. The little Plymouth Rock pull let at once voluntarily took charge of the motherless little brood, and she proves to be most excellent step-moth- CT. She scratches gravel for them the ivelong day, and does not anowe them to associate with the other chickens o1 go ''out on de street playing with de white trash"

He has not only secured 8 patent on the machine but on the process of making granulated milk. His establishment at Canaan is the only one of the kind in the world, and we hope he will make an immense fortune. The patent on the process was granted last week and is dated Sept. 21, 1886. So far, MT Ellin has only operated his model machine, but he is rapidly completing machine of IA, 900 quarts daily capacity. He will operate as many machines as the de- mand for granulated milk will require.
 The cider makers in the towns of Sheffield, North Canaan, Canaan, Salis- bury and vicinity have recently received anonymous letters threatening to burn their mills if they persisted in making cider. A detective discovered that some of the letters were mailed at Canaan post-ofice, having been deposited in the letter box during the night, or on Sunday of last week. Some think it the work of @ crank. Others think the let ters were written by some woman made desperate by the cider drinking of her husband Some think the sellers of lager and liquor have taken this course to prevent the cider makers from com peting with their sales. Salmon Barlow of this place says he shall not make any cider until he knows more about this business, as he cannot af- ford to run the risk of losing his build ings for the quantity of cider he usually makes.

MONITORS AND TORPEDO BOATS.
Some Urgent Reasons WHY the
United States Should Have
Them at Once.

Z WASHINGTON, March 5.-The House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs has completed its
report accompanying the bill providing for
an increase of naval establishments. It
points out that the seacoast cities of the
+ United States are absolutely at the mercy of
any second-rate naval power, and that the
government is without adequate means of
qefendng Its foreign or coastwise commerce
1t SHOWS that while foreign powers are build-
ing formidable naval vessels. the United
States is at a stand-still in this particular.
and says: After studying the character of
the other navles, we find that we are nearly
at the mercy OF foreign nations, and our
city along our gulf or Atlantic coast. Chill
could exact similar demands on the shores
OF the Pacific. The 'Reachueto' and the
'Aqudabau,' formidable Brazilian armored
cruisers, could steam at thirteen or four
teen knots per hour from Brazil to New
York IN ten days. They could with i'm
punlty pass our forts and anchor in New
York harbor But without doing this, their
guns could easily throw shells into New
York City from off Coney Island beach.
Ihe CHILEAN vessel 'Esmeralda' carries coal
enough to enable her to steam at eight knots
an hour from Chill to San Francisco without
e1hausting half her supply. With her high
power guns she could lie outside the Golden
Gate and lay the city of San Francisco un-
der contribution without going within reach
of the guns. The 'Cochrane' and 'Blanoh
Eucalda,' other Chilian ships, are protected
by nine inches of iron armor and carry bat
teries of six 8-inch breech-loading rifles"
In view of this state of affairs, the COM
mittee recommended the completion of the
monitors and recommends the building of
the vessels and torpedo boats discussed in
the bill already published
