| see it stated that one female salmon will
produce 20,000000 eggs in season. See
here; is there no way known to science of
crossing the land locked salmon with the
common hen of commercei The stupidity,
Or laziness, or malicious obstinacy of the hen
Is a WEAKNESS to the flesh. Now, have one
of the best plants for good egg factory you
ever say, on small scale; have all the raw
material for producing eggs, but the mills are
not running on half time; no, not on quarter
time. And this right at time when the de-
mand is something unprecedented; when, &C
cording to all the wise writers on industrial
matters, the market is just booming and ev
cry right thinking hen would run away past
her contract and work over hours to meet the
demand and keep up the boom But no, she
deliberately limits the production, as though
she had no more a conscience than a coal
baron But this salmon business has a
cheering sound. If something in the way of
in and in breeding could only be accom-
plished, giving us an improved hen with web
feet, so that she couldn't scratch, and a run
ming capacity Of say two dozen eggs day
with a pleasant Lenten havor-say, that
would be better than Standard OIL"

matted. vermin which come from the
old hen. These deposit eggs at the
nostrl and around the mouth, 80 they
will be inhaled or in some way get into
the windpipe. and then hatch into AIRED
worm, and rs they develop prey upon
the bird and strangle it to death. One
might say, why do incubated chicks
raise1 artiticially get the gapes? be
cause they are allowed to be ,cme dirty
and filthy. which breeds vermin. There
are several remedies for gapes Ihs
best one Is not to allow the hen while
sitting to become infested, nor while
she is caring for chicks. When taking
chicks from the nest grease under
throat and crown of head; be sure ana

Christmas Thoughts.

Christmas is upon us. 1t is the festi-
val of the homo and the season when the
hearts of the fathers are turned 10 the
chile rem and the feet OF the child en-
turn back TO the homes whence they went
out. Lutte ones hail its coming with
exuberant gladness. and older people en-
ter into its Festivities with subdued pleao-
ure, in which memories of hcme behind
and hopes of the home ahead alo strange
ly mingled with present Joys. VII It q
time it is for cultivating domestic at &C.

not found in pagan lnds = dwelling
places are there, but not homes. Nor
are they found in lands who're Christian
influences are feeble and Christian inst =

and eating houses. The idea of home
comes from him who, though homeless

A. cordingly, at this season our doors
should be wide oIen 10 his coming IN,

human JOY as really as with human sor-

relgns in all our homes, let us invite him
in to sup with us. Let the children play
with the babe of Bethlehem among them,
while the angels of Bethlehem sing over
them. Let the youthful keep company
with the earnest, obedient boy of Naza-

"The reptile still continued to crawl
around inside our deck house, and, after
listening to its movements for while,
we determiu ed to kindle fire and secure
little light on this dark and scaly sub

far TO collect frewood, lest, rs they said
the mate of the serpent might lie in the
vicinity. Enough was gathered up, how
ever, to kindle a considerable bonfire, by

little steamer again, and finally boarded
her, gun in hand, in search of the snake.

much more easily removed than was the
peculiar, disgusting odor which seemed
to emanate fiom its carcass, and for a
long time resisted the action of our chic

After that nights adventure, we took
the precaution to affx a net of tarred line

The address OF the occasion was deliver
ed by Chief Justice Fuller and occupied
nearly two hours in delivery. The dis
tinguished speaker began by reference to
the great celebration in New York city in
April last. He then touched upon the
chief historic events Immediately preced-
ing and following the Inauguration of
Washin gton, discussing them with refer
ence to their bearing upon the welfare OF
the nation which was thus being de-
veloped.
The availability of Washington at the
crisis at which he exchanged the sword
for the duties Of the chief magistrate was
one of those provident tial blessings so often
bestowed on this nation. The promotion
of human happiness was the keynote Of
the century in which Washington lived.
In discussing his administration Mr.. Fuller
spoke especially of the wisdom displayed
in his choice Of cabinet and mis- selection
Of members Of the Supreme court After
discussing at length the character and Of
fetal work of Washington Justice Fuller
traced briefly the history of the nation
through the century, especially dealing
with the period of civil war from which il
emerged still one nation.
The speaker closed with reference TO the
great responsibilities OF the nation and i'm.
portant issues presented for its decision.

upon in a spirit OF optimism bold Ia fear

A New Orleans Na.) dispatch says: The

able in many respects that has ever been

That so broad an extent of country,
comprising not less than three hundred
thousand square miles, should have re-
NAMED unvisited and unknown for SO
long time in this century Of travel is
due in part to its geographical position
but chiefly to the hostility of the Indian
tribes that inhabit it.
As indicative of the climate and gen.
eral character Of the region it is worthy
of note that the Indians of tho Chaco are
of fine physique, warlike, and remarkable
for their longevity. Thus far these
savages have success fully resisted the ap-
proaches of white explorers and travel
ers.
The Chaco is believed to be paradise

than seven varieties of wild bees have

tapirs, capybaraS, and peccaries abound,

horses, and the jaguar. The reptile fam
lily Is also we'll represented MS is shown
by the following adventure related by
Mr.. Wilhelm B. Marin, young gentle
man who spent several months last sea-
son exploring the course of the River
Pilcomayo:
Mr.. Marin is an enthusiastic believer
in the future of the Chaco, which. he
confidently predicts, is destined not long
hence to become the Garden State oil
South AmericI. His exploration was ef-
fected by means of q small steam launch
which he shipped TO South America in
sections, and set up at Asuncion, on the
Paraguay River, near its confluence with
the Pilcomayo. Both the Pilcomayo
and the Vermejo are large rivers, not
less than eight hundred or thousand
miles in length, which flow down out of
the Chaco and unite with the Paraguay
and the Parans 10 form the Rio de la
Plata.

little steamer, in honor of the great
