Whole Settlement Starving.

HALIFAX, May 7.-Information from the
north coast of Newfoundland depicts a
wretched state of affairs there. Owing to the
epidemic of la grippe last year the miserable
inhabitants were unable to gather their usual
catch of fish.
Just before navigation closed the govern
ment sent tho people of Flower Cove sixty
barrels of -four to save them from perishing
through the winter. For Ave months they
have been cut of from the outside world by
ice. Early in February the people watched
with horror the consumption of the last hand
full of -four.
Whole families had not q crust of bread.
There is not barrel of flour on the whole
coast between Bonnie Bay and st. Anthony.
Some people have persisted from starvation,
and at last advices, March Is, terrible con-
dition of Affairs existed.

The Bill Was Rejected by
Vote OF LAG to 223.

LONDON, May 6.-Richard Haldane's bill to
confer upon local authorities power to COM

was discussed in the commons.
Herbert Asquith advanced iberaD con-
tended that the owner of the land on which
human residences are built is not entitled to
the improved value of the land due to the in
crease of population. In that respect, As
quith held that land differed from consols OF
commercial enterprise. Before he had OPP
portunity, however, to explain wherein the
difference lies, he was interrupted by Cum
bingham E. Graham (socialist), who repre-
sents the northwest division of Lanarkshire,
who e1citedly asked: How about swind-
ling shareholders in the company? Amid
cries of order, Graham shouted: 81 have q
right to explain that this is a swindling
speech"
The house was in great confusion and the
speaker said: THE conduct of the member

Graham retorted: "All right lam named

This caused renewed confusion, and Home
Secretary Matthews moved that Graham be

PHILADELPHIA, May THE Pennsylvania

From the indianapolis Journal.
An effort is being made to have Ger
man plate glass put upon the free list.
This is a matter in which Indiana, as
one of the leading producers of plate
glass is interested. Every democrat in
congress from Indiana, to carry out the
free trade policy, would vote to put
German plate, controlled by a foreign
trust, on the free list, at the request OF
speculative importers, and thereby strike
down the growing glass industry of In

thousands of workmen of employment.

One of the Worst Vices to Which Horse
Can Become Addicted.

One of the Worst Vices to Which u Horse
Can Become Addicted.
Cribbing or crib biting is practically
incurable. The most that can be done
is to keep the horse in stall from
whose sides there are no projections
that the animal can rest its teeth upon.
The manger should also be removed
and the animal fed from box which is
taken out after each meal. Cribbing
may lead to wind sucking, the horse
drawing air thorugh the mouth into
the stomach. This vice is worse than
cribbing. as it renders the victim liable
to attacks of collie; or, stopping short
of that, it causes distention of the in
testines and indigestion to an extent
uniting the animal for work and keep
ing it out of condition. A horse may
crib and suck wind both at once or may
do either alone. In the latter case the
animal first arches his neck and then
straightens it, ending the operation by
extending the head and moving the
lips with peculiar smacl1ing sound.
Temporary prevention of cribbing is
done by buckling wide strap tight
about the throat close to the head, but
the strap leaves an unsightly mark and
it's use is believed to cause roaring.
Wind-suclsing may be stopped in some
cases by compelling the horse to wear
headstall to whose throat strap is at
tached II block of wood shaped to fit
the angle formed by the neck and lower
jaw and covered with leather through
which sharp pointed tacks have been
driven in such way that when the ap-
pliancc is in position the horse cannot
arch its neck without being pricked by
the tacks. A sound horse hitched next
to a cribber may acquire the vice in a
few hours. Also horse sound at 10 a.
IN. may learn to crib be tween that time
and noon. Cribbing and wind-sucking
are unsoundness in law.--Farm and
Home.

COYOTE STRATEGY.
How the Tawny Army of Brutes Captures
Its Prey.

In the dim light of the early morn
ing in certain of the Humboldt, Peran-
egat, Mason, and other valleys may be
seen queer tawny army, marshaled in
some places by dozens and in others by
scores. The army is called together by
reveille, and soon thereafter the strange
music which breaks the stiffness of the
desert swells into chorus participated
in by all the members of the tawny
troop.
1t is the gathering of the coyotes, and
they are out, their appetites sharpened
by the crisp air, to g1in their regular
breakfast of jerlsed jach-rabbit meat.
There is IL smiling among the sage and
greasewood by the avant-couriers of the
sharp-toothed brigade. Mean time all
the others have been deployed in such
n manner that when fect-footed jack
has been raised from his lair he is
passed on and on. The coyotes usually
arrange themselves in the form of a
long ellipse. Thus the jack, however
large and strong, and whether fleet as
the wind is sure at last to weary him
self.
He cannot get out, for a willy coyote
at every turn checks him and keeps him
in the ellipse and in the lead of his pur-
suer When the coyote in pursuit tires
another, fresh as the air of the morn
ing, takes up the chase. Thus an un-
tiring Nemesis is always after him, and
in due time the tired, painting rabbit
falls prey to the yellow troop.
At the death they all rush in, their
10 80 a
blades. The rabbit is cut in pieces,
snapped up and eaten, and then another
weird reveille is sounded, another jack
is started up, and thus they go for two
or three hours sometimes until the hun
ger of all is appeased.
This hunting in troops, as is pointed
out by Col. Joseph Grandelmyer, the
sagebrush pioneer, enables each of the
brigade of coyotes to get good meal.
If but one of the coyotes were to start
after the rapidly flying jack he would
become quickly winded without affect
ing the jack whatever, but with relays
of coyotes, and one always to take up
the chase when the other is tired vic
tory soon perches on their banner
Grandelmyer insists that the coyote
army is most scientifically generated.
The commander-in-chief, veteran of
the chase, usually sits on some slight
eminence, his lieutenant and aids being
in full view to repeat his orders.
Never was there better drilled
army than this of the coyotes" said he
yesterday. ''What they don't know
about maneuvering, ambuscades, and
the tactics of the field generally, it will
take long time to find out. have
studied them much. 1t is one of the
most interesting sights of the desert to
see the marshaling of the coyotes at
the sounding of the weird reveille and
watch their capture of the rabbits. -

GAPES IN POULTRY.
The Cause of the Troublesome Ailment
and the Remedy.

anu the ntheuys
AS this is the season for young
chicks, have no doubt there are many
troubled with the gapes l will give
the cause and the remedy. Keep your
chicks in warm, dry place, feed on
dry food, such as wheat and cracked
corn. Grease the hen under the wings
This will grease the downy plume OF
the chick whilst molting. This 3owny
plume they are continually picking and
occasionally one will be sucked into
windpipe. 1t works its way down to
the lungs. 1t soon becomes covered
with mucus-a Shiny substance col.
orcr1 with blood A few Of these soon
clog up the air passage. The chick
then gasps for breath. Remove them
and it will eat imm ediately.
Some say the "gapes' is from a
nit of louise, and passing in the
wind-pipe forms worm; it con
tains no life and never crawls nor
wriggles. The nit of louise will
hatch a louise every time, and nothing
else. These gapes, as they are called,
are double, every one of them; one
part being a little longer than the
other. just so with the downy plume
of the chick, invariably every one; by
doubling horse hair You can extract
one. Examine it with strong glass
and you will see what is supposed to be
the intestines of the worm; but it is the
soft down of the plume. If it is from
white chick it will be white; if from n
black one it will be black, or from a
Dominique it will be spotted. Place a
hair into water for day or two in
warm weather, and it will be coated
with the same Shiny or mucous sub
stance.
In cool, wet weather chicks are more
subject to gapes, as they are cooped up
and have no exercise, except to pass the
time in picking themselves, thus filing
their windpipe and lungs with the little
downy plume when molting. Why are
ducks and geese not troubled with
gapes? Because they do not molt their
dowry plumes. On the contrary, it in
creases in quantity and in length for
the purpose of keeping their bodies
warm, being water fowl. William l.
Pyle, in Germantown Telegraph.
