Of midway rests. Wild swans perform
the journey from Finland to the marshes

apt to linger on the bogs of the Vistula,

the shores of the Euxine their objective

Large swarms of northern waterfowl
are, however known to bivouac in the

supposition that storks and cranes
travel at the rate of forty miles an hour
is probably considerable underesti-

must exceed a mile in twenty seconds,

Hints for Those Intending to Make Arfi-

An inquirer who intends to plant a
timber belt to shield his crops, and Mt
the same time to raise what may be-
come in future valuable for timber,
wishes to know If it will not be neces-
sary to keep the trees well trimmed to
prevent the growth of side limbs for
future timber trees. The answer to
this inquiry will be, keep the trees
standing near together, so as to shoot
up erect, and the shade will prevent
the growth of side branches along up
the trunks, and trees naturally
trimmed by this process will have the
work better done than can be per-
formed by the knife, saw or AK. The
shaded side limbs will stop growing,
die. and after awhile drop from them,
leaving little or no stumps while by
doing the work artifcially scars and
stumps can hardly be avoided, which
eventually will make quite II diffe '.
ence in the value of the timber. Some
Judgment and skill will be required in
planting the young trees at proper dis

Palmer has been employedat mine
about fifty miles from Prescott. his wife

former with a 45-caliber Colts pistol.
Today she got man who was working

after this was done she COM

son stepped down in front and

simultaneously with his doing 80, the
pistol was discharged and the ball en-

New YoRK, Nov. 25.--Under date OF
November 18th, Congressman j. ID.
Warner wrote to Senator Carlisle in ref
erence to Congressman Mills's candi-
dacy for the speakership, saying, in
part, that he recognizes the strength OF
Mills's claim, bssed not only on his
record, but the factthat "every Demo
cratic member Of congress whomI know,
in favor of relegating tariff reform to
rear, is opposed to Mr.. Mills" 1t is,
however asserted, says Mr.. Warner,
that Mills is untitled by temperament to
make dignified and effective presiding
officer. Warner begged CarIisle's opin-
ion on the subject. r.
Senator Carlisle, in reply, refutes the
assertion, and says he is sure if Mill ID
elected no one will ever have just Gauge
to complain of his demeanor or generf3
course on political questions. Referrin/
to the unfortunate disposition in son
quarters to subordinate the question %
tariff reform to others less important to
the people and dangerous to the har-
mony and success of the Democratic
party, the Senator says: Upon the
tariff question we are practically united,
while upon the silver question, and per-
haps some othes, there are wide and
honest differences of opinion among the
members of our party, which can only
be reconciled by patient deliberation.
Why should we, on the eve OF
great national contest, when vie
tory is almost within our grasp,
abandon or ignore the vital issue upon
which we are united and waste our
strength in fruitless controversy over
questions which can better be adjusted
after it has been determined what part
of their own earnings the people shall
be permitted to keep. The first duty of
the Democratic party is to change the
laws under which the earnings OF the
people are taken away from them, by
unjust taxation for private purposes,
and whoever proposes to postpone the
performance of this duty, in order to in
augurate among ourselves war over the
silver question or any other, 10 not Z

The. superintendent expresses the
opinion that refuge station filled with
rough sailors of different nationalities,
is not the proper place for native
school, and suggests other provisions for
the education of the young natives.
He reports the wreck of the schooner
Silver Wave in October last, and the as
sistance rendered the crew. He also
tells OF conspiracy formed against him
by gang of seamen, one of whom, Lar
son, made an attempt to kill him with q
club. Larson was placed in irons and
taken to place of safety.
Borden says in the past year at Cape
Smythe village were but four births.
There were seventeen deaths, including
the principal native chief, who died
from alcoholism. One OF the reasons OF
the lowness of the birth rate. is the
women's fear of the treatment they
get during confinement. being placed in
a snow house with limited amount OF

large barn and warehouse. Twenty men
were sleeping in the warehouse, but all
escaped. The flames rushed through

horses and mules were in the barn, and
the men experienced much difficulty in
getting any of them out. Twenty-six
horses and mules perished. All would
have been saved had they not rushed
wildly back after being turned out. The
loss on buildings, huge windmill, hay
and implements, will be between $l2,
