Heron and Retriever.

Three or four weeks ago, writes a
correspondent of the Youths Com
panion, / was shooting cock and par
fridge along the banks, of the Mus
quodoboit, Nova Scotia river. My
dog was ~ smooth-haired animal, a
cross between a pointer and a re-
triever. AS we came out on the
edge of one OF those little wild
meadows called "intervales," huge
heron rose sluggishly from behind a
clump of alders. 1t was fine bird,
and wanted 1t as specimen.
At rather long range fired, and
the heron, lurching heavily to one
side, came down in the center OF a
shallow pool. Then it gathered itself
together at once, and stood staring
about as II bewildered. AS l APP
preached, with Rob at my heels, II
raised one wing as IL to fly, then drew
its head back and took up posture
of defense.
1t was evident that my shot had in
some way disabled the other wing,
which, however, was not broken, but
was held firmly trussed up as IL unin.
jured. The pool in which the bird
stood was perhaps six inches deep,
and 1 ordered Rob in to fetch the
game.
The dog dashed forward eagerly, as
IL to pick up snipe, but was met by
a vicious thrust from the heron:
beak that drove him back in aston
ishment. His anger and confusion
were amusing to witness. As for the
heron, 1t stood immoyable, its head
back upon its shoulders, its keen eye:
sparkling defiautly.
In moment Rob returned to the
attack. He ran around and tried Il
seize the bird by the tail; but the
birds head went about like lightning
on the pivot Of its long and snake
like neck, while its body never
moved; and again Rob received
blow which made him yelp.
He drew off few feet, and ther
ran round and round his enemy, seek
ing an opening; but everywhere h
found himself opposed by that terri

A novel scheme has been proposed
for increasing the speed of locomo-
tives, particularly those Of fast ex-
press trains. 1t is briefly this: to
place in front of the engine an "air-
plow," with the sharp edge forward,
extending from a few inches above
the track to the top of the smoke
stack. The ordinary resistance OF
the air to the locomotive is doubtless
a very considerable impeding force,
and this device, it is believed, will SC
largely reduce it as to effect material
increase of speed. Possible, it might
also serve in some measure as shield
for the train itself, diverting the
blast of wind from the car windows,
or at least those nearest the loco
motive. A gain in speed is good
thing, but exemption from drafts,
dust, smoke and cinders would be
even a better one.

Selling Milk.

Is 1t lawful to sell milk to Duchess
on Sundays? This is the great ques-
tion which has just been agitating a
West of Scotland Presbytery. Mr..
Robert Kelso, a farmer and elder OF
the Free Kirk in the Island of Arran,
has been in the habit Of supplying
milk to the Duchess OF Hamilton at
Brodick Castle on Sundays. His min
lister demonstrated with him for this
particular form of Sabbath desecra-
ton. NO exemption, the minister
pointed out, was made in the camp
of Israel in regard to manna-Satur-
days supply having always to serve
for Sunday-therefore no exemption
ought to be made in Arran, even In
the case Of milk to a Duchess. The
Kirk Session supported the minister,
and decided that the wicked elder
should be admonished. The elder,
however, refused to submit, and ap-
pealed to the Presbytery, and this
body while recognizing the zeal OF
the Session, has enjoined that no ad.
monition shall take place. The elder
thus returns to this island victorious,
and Sunday calls at the castle will
presumably be continued. Meantime,
"the medical man in London" who
was irreverent enough to affirm that
"milk diet was q necessity for the
Duchess and Lady Mary" on Sun
days as well as other days, may well
be left to the "after-biting" OF his owr
conscience.

power OF a perlshable, uncertain and
expensive kind. Busy or idle, these
animals must be fed and cared for every
day. They are boarders that you can't
get rid of when the busy season is over,
and it stands you in hand to keep them
at work Two thousand million of dol
lars make a large sum. Invested at
per cent. interest it would produce
nearly $4,000, 900 per week. Then you
see there are more than sixteen millions
Of horses and mules alone, and to feed
and care for these 1t costs the modest
sum OF 81, 900, 900 per day. A little while
ago very clever and intelligent citizen
Of Indiana estimated that bad roads
cost the farmer SIS per year for each
horse and mule in his service. This
means loss in the aggregate of nearly
$3.50 100000 per year. Add wear and
tear of wagons aud harnesses, 500, 900, :
900; deprecated value OF farm lands,
$4,000, 900, 900; total, $2,350, 900, 900.
Making the utmost allowance in favor
of the farmer and granting the necessity
ioc the liberal use of horse power In the
maintenance of agricultural traffic, it is
easily certain that the farmers of this
country are keeping at least two mill
ions of horses more than would be
necessary to do all the hauling between
farm and market, IL only the principal
roads were brought to good condition.
III you assume that each of these horses
is fed the ordinary army ration of hay
and oats, it requires $4,000 tons of hay
or fodder and $50, 900 bushels OF oats per
day to feed these unnecessary animals,
which themselves have money value OF
$40, 100000. The value of hay and oats
fed to these horses per day is about
100000, or something like S114, 000, 900
per year.
Then the farmers friend draws a
vivid picture Of the condition of the
farmer abroad and the farmer at home.
Here the country is losing and the
towns gaining; the farmer growing poor
er, the Government growing richer.
Reports from twenty European countries
show that their farmers are prospecting

perity follows other lines of business;

Whenever the furious dog would
make dash for the birds tail, out
would dart the long, fine weapon,

hurting back the onslaught.
Presently Rob gave a howl Of dis

legs and scurried in panic from the
water. Then, concluding that the
plucky bird deserved a better fate
than to be stuffed, l threw my jacket
over his head and made him prison

from one mile TO thirty wide.
The eastern entrance is TWEEN
ty miles wide and for many
miles. the width remains the same,
but about $50 miles from the en-
trance the channel becomes so mar
row that two vessels would find it a
difficult matter to pass each other.
This is one of the reasons why it IS
so little used by large sailing vessels,
few Of which ever attempt the pas
sage. Violent gusts of wind also
sweep through the channel and make
navigation not only difficult but
dangerous. Storms of hail, rain and
snow come in from the Pacific, and
when they are met by storms sweep
ing in from the Atlantic, there is n
clash Of the elements which means
destruction TO the vessel that is
caught in the straits. But despite
the dangers attending passage
many steamers 20 through the chan
mel, and there is regular line Of
steamers between England and Val
paraiso which uses it as part of its
route. The straits are neutral waters,
being open to all countries.
There are several good harbors
along the straits, but the only settle
ment is Sandy. Point, a penal colony

rhe nlar.elre. soap Inau.trr,

The manufacture of soap is one OF
the oldest industries of Marseilles.
For long time Venice and Genoa
had the monopoly OF this manufac-
ture, but toward the sixteenth cen
fury two foremen from Toulon came
to settle down at Marseilles. AS they
did not possess much capital, they in
stalled themselves in an old house
near the main road, and set up two
boilers, in which they manufactured
from the oils of Provence a white
soap which was used by the inhab-
itants of the town. They had to pay
at that time duty of II fr. per
quintal upon these oils. The indus
try did not extend much until, a
number OF years later, some mer-
chants with capital developed it by
building better works, providing more
suitable implements, and bringing
over workmen from Genoa who were
adopts in the art Of soapmaking.
They were so successful that the man
ufacturers of Toulon and other places
in Provence were obliged to have re-
course to the use OF a mixture of fat
and butter in order to sell their goods
at the same price as thatof Marseilles.
Thiskind OF adulteration gave rise
to such complaints that Louis XIV.
issued an edict, dated October 5th
1858, in which the factories were
placed under state supervision. This
rigorous measure had the effect of in
creasing their number and improving
their product, which now quite
eclipsed that of Genoa. The deteriOr-
alton Of the olive trees which followed
in 1709 was another source of advan-
tage to the Marseilles soapmakers, who
monopolized the foreign oils which
were in demand owing to the failure
of the olive crop. Thus the only
thing that REM aimed was to counter
act the competition Of Spain, whose
special brands enjoyed an excellent
reputation and were much depended
on. To accomplish this the manu-
facturers of Marseilles, taking advan-
tage of strike, offered high salary
to Spanish workman to come TO
Marseilles and manufacture soap ac-
cording to the process in vogue at
Alicante, which was town Of much
repute in soapmaking. The foremen
of Marseilles proflted so much by the
information gained from this foreign
er that they were in a short time able
to equal the products Of Alicante, and
also invented new kinda pale-blue
soap which sold for CD per quintal.
Then it became the custom to buy at
Marseilles, where there was good
market for blue, notified, and white
soaps, and in the year 1850 the town
possessed twenty-eight factories, capa-
BILE of producing 300, 900 quintals of
soap. The usual consumption did
not exceed 100000 quintals, which
represented the sum Of GA, 500,0 900,
and that exported f200, 900. Twelve
hundred men were employed in the
manufacture of soap, in which the
porters OF Piedmont had replaced con-
victs who were employed before the
suppression of galleys.-Chemist and

rally known, he has had made Of late
large number of photographs show
ing the proposed war vessels and the
plan OF operating them. His idea is
to adapt the barges to coast defense
service. They are to be so constructed
that by means Of water ballast they
can be submerged, leaving only a
small turrct for lookout forward and
the bow, or "snout" as it is termed,
above water. In the bow, which Is
of great strength, two heavy guns
will be stationed on an incline, and
they will be so operated that while
one is being fired the other is being
charged below in the vessel. Nc
Dougall is said to have taken out
patents on this style of war vessels
here as well as in several European
countries.

Tho Nature and Treatment of stammer-
Ing.


Emil Behnke Jour. Laryngology
and RhinologO has recently declared
that the term stammer and SHUTTER
should indicate the same condition,
rejecting a former distinction that
stammer should refer to that form of
obstruction in which there is inabili-
ty TO pronounce vowels, and stutter-
ing to that form of impeachment in
which the consonants are at fault.
The causes of these disturbances are
attributable to the nervous centers
controlling the mechanism of respira-
ton, phonation and articulation.
Children afflicted with stammering do,
not, as rule, outgrow the habit; rid
icule or severity will increase the diff
ficulty.- Conditions needing surgical
or medical interference, such as spinal
curvature, post-natal adenoids, de-
cayed teeth, intestinal worms and
phimosis, may prevent cure OF STAN
mering until their removal. Cases OF
stammerers are divided into two
classes-those in which fault lies in
MANAGEMENT of respiratory apparatus,
and those In which 10 does not I'm
the former the prognosis is more hope
full. To test patient, he is placed fiat
on his back upon a couch, and is
drilled in methodized and graduated
series of sounds and inspiration pro.
duced by diaphragm and muscles OF
abdominal walls, the hand OF the
trainer upon the epigastrium accentu.
ating these movements. If, after
such practice, the patient shows i'm
provement, a favorable result may be
expected from treatment. In those
cases in which obstruction does not
depend upon imperfect respiration,
Behnke attributes much of the trOu-
BILE to IAN involuntary exaggeration
of all the stops and checks taking
place in the vocal apparatus from
CLOTHS to lips, and he must there
fore be trained to make these closures
as shortly and lightly as possible.
Thus short aspirate may be inserted
after consonant; as G-h-eorge, in.
stead of George, or, as patient would
say, G-g-g-eorge; and p-h-a, instead
of pa. Stammerers sing and whisper
without difficulty, because in singing
there is almost continued tone, and
in whispering there is absence OF
tone. 1t is advisable to dwell or
vowels at expense of consonants-and
IL vowel is difficult to sound, it should
be preceded by short inspiration
Another beneficial exercise is Il
speak slowly, with teeth overlapping
and pressed tightly together. Re
suit Of treatment influenced by sever
ity of case, intelligence of patient
also existing morbid conditions, es
pecially those due to chorea or othe'
nervous disturbances.

Troy Weight.

The smallest measure of weights in
use, the grain, has its name from
being originally the weight of grain
of wheat. A statute passed in En-
gland in 1865 ordained that thirty
two grains of wheat, taken from the
middle OF the ear or head, and well
dried, should make a pennyweight,
twenty of which should make an
ounce, while twelve ounces were to
make pound. The pound, there
fore, consisted then Of 1850 grains.
Some centuries later the pennyweight
was divided into twenty-four grains,
which make the troy pound. The
pennyweight was the exact weight OF
the old silver penny.-St. Louis Re-
public.

roads are much better. His owner can
visit his ntighbors at any time. He can
drive to town, make social calls, and
enjoy all the personal advantages OF a
resident OF the city, and still
maintain the independence and en-

Of our farmers tried to drive to town
with stout span OF bays and a load of
hay. The mud was drying up In places,
packing and rolling under the wheels.
The load wasn't big one, but the road
was still rutty, and one Of the whiffle-

and the farmer went 30 the blacksmith
