healthy and as handsome a flock of poultry
as eye could see on a summers day.
When the first snow came he balanced his
accounts. He found he had paid the inter.
est on his mortgage, helped out a little by
the berries his mother and Dolly had picked
and sold; had lived frusally n had a hun
bred dollars to spare.
"Oh, John. you don't mean so," cried his
mother.
"Yes, 1 do" said John. ''And I will pay
the hundred to the bank and bring down
our debt by that much. Oh, you'll see,
mother"
The early winter months we're a quiet
time with Johns hens, and he had opportu-
nifty to see the boys, to find out where their
lessons were. to have a word with the dis
trict school teacher now and then about his
own, and to have many a good hour coast
ing and skating.
Before the snow of March had gone. John
was again absorbed in the society of his
hens. There we're no ills or ails of any kind
among them; the traps were early set TO
keep the rats and woodohucks in check; the
laying was all at the warm pens in the old
barn, clean perches, warm drink in the

suns the peeping and chirping began anew.

Johns heart fail wondering how he was 90

flowers wouldn't be a circumstance" But
he did not hesitate. And his grain bill at
the %grocer's ran boldly up. When the
Matching was over he began to fatsen the

it was in such a state of neatness and order
that they quite agreed the house was worth
the figure. Before the week was over that
house was Johns, although mortgaged to
the bank. And he had two hundred dollars
in land for capital.
There was a large piece of waste land be-
hind the house, running down to a swamp;
it was a rich world of g~rasshoppers and
crickets. A corner of it John ploughed up
with his neighbours horse and plough-the
%neighbors lending him half q days help
and sowed with suntiower seed. The rest
he left as a run for the hens, which he at
once went afoot about the country to buy,
and so fast as he secured q dozen or so the
village carpenter helped him to construct
pens with laths inside and outside the barn,
and little ladders for them to climb to the
second story on, and to put up roosts and
make boxes and Guild matches. and make
over old barrels for mother hens with
broods.
Before May was over John had some
three hundred hens and ~roosters in his
pens, and every hen that was not sitting or
had not just Matched q family was laying
and there was enough food laid in till they
began to pay for themselves. And there
was no roup, or pips. or gapes, and the air
was full of clucks and cries and peeps till

1t was no child's play that John had IN

sources to pear on it. Dolly must help
fill the water pans. His mother must

fowl for the market.
BY the middle of summer, too, the spring
chickens were ready for the provision man;
at least all that he was going to sell, and
they brought him a good price. And these,
with the eggs that every day came piling
up. paid off all the bills; paid for old Jerry's
labor, which John felt no money could
really pay-the old fellow knew so much.

Pendergast, represen ting the defense,

TWO NEW VESSELS.

A Cruiser and Battle Ship to Be Con-

WASHINGTON, Sept. gu nder the au-
thority conferred by the last naval ap-
preparation bill providing for the con-
struction of the two new vessels for the
navy, one sea going battle ship of o.
900 tons displacement and one an
armored cruiser of 5000 tons displace-
ment, proposals were issued by the
navy department for their constru ction.
The contract work guarantees that
when the battle ship is completed and
tested the speed shall not be less than
an average of sixteen knots an hour,
maintained successfully for four con-
secutive hours. The contract for the
construction of the cruiser requires that
she must develop a speed of not less
than twenty knots under the same con-
ditions as are prescribed for the battle
ship. Each vessel must be completed
within three years from date of the con-
tract. and proposals must include the
construction of both the vessel and her
machinery complete in all respects.

eral John B. Hamilton, who has been

turned to his Office in this city to-day.
He said:
THE great trouble is that New York

when the government should have had
charge. 1t is unfair to the rest of the
country when 90 per cent of the immi-
grants who land in New York do not
stop there that New York should take
upon herself the whole authority in
this matter. The quarantine was in
efficiently equipped. If the govern
ment had had control, it would have
been impossible for a case of cholera to
