The tariff policy or lack of policy is
having damaging effect upon the wool
business throughout the country. 1t is
casting its shadow before and giving
wool growers all the disadvantages of
actual free trade and has brought wool
down to Is cents. the lowest price that
has prevailed for many years. This I'M
certainty is unfavorable affecting the
wooden manufacturing in many places.
Amersterdam, n. i.,is one of the places
that feels the uncertainty. For nearly

A Great Flight of Hawks.

We are informed by Mr. A. Spencer. resid-
ing in the lower end of the county, near Har-
per's Ferry, who is close observer of nature,
that on Monday, the lst instant, he witnessed, /,
for the third time in as many years, the mi.
grstion OF a great body of hawks. On this oc-
cason, as the season Of the year indicates,
the flight was to The north. What it was On
the two proceeding occasions we failed to ask
for, being classed among the millions, and un
ike the few close observers of natural history
we were astounded at the assertion on the
part of our informant that he was unable to
estimate whether there were 5000 or 10000
n even greater number in the flight.
For a space of thirty yards in width and in
an intermnable line, when his attention was
first attracted, which for a period of some
thirty or forty minutes afterwards continued
unb,oken with scarce ripple of the wing,
this great body passed northward at height
OF between 800 and 800. SO great was the
height shat not a sound cou ld be heard and il
is in all probability owing to this fact that the
migrati0ns of these birds are not more FIRE
quently observed. AS to the variety of the
hawk our informant could give us no informs
ton, as inspection Though powerful glasses
failed to reveal anything beyond the fact that
they were hawks and of uniform size and col
or. Ency. Brit. informs us that the migra'
ton of the hawk is as we'll known to the pas
senger of the last boat on the Nile or Bospho
rus as it was in the time of Job, and as we
had the latter authority more convent emily tt
hand than either OF the two former we fount
that s'she did fly to the SOUTH" Warren, il

Young Whitefsh.

More than 100000 whitefish fry
we're placed 10 Lake Michigan, near
Milwaukee, in one week recently. They
were empted in the bay at distance OF
between one and two miles from the
shore. The whitefish is able to swim
the moment it is hatched, an advantage
it has over many fish. Brook trout,
for instance, do not swim until they
are three or four weeks old, and on tn 8
account they require more care in hatch
ing than whiteflsh. This fish a. soon
as it is hatched swims out of the jar
through spout provided for the pur-
pose, and tumbles into the tank where
1t is kept until transferred to the river
or lake. At that time the fish is about
an inch long, with transparent body
and eyes that are out Of all proportion
to the rest of the body.

Perhaps one of the most forward exhibits is
that displayed in horticultural hall. Here ma
ture has had full swing, and she has mad
much of her opportunities. The cave situated
directly under the dome is well worth a mo
ments time.
One would scarcely think that the inditfer-
ent provinces of Canada could make so fue a
display OF their fruit products as shown in
this hall; apples, cherries, pears, peaches, in
fact We might 60 through the list, and then
have left some out. Many people have very
mistaken notion OF our sister across The line,
rect those errors.
We don't know whether we are on foot or
horeback, concerning that vexed Sunday open
ing question. Today we resolve to open; to.
morrow We resolve TO close. Ifmatters con-
tinue this way long, the remaining twenty
two Sundays will be non est, aud there will
be no occasion for resolutions; regrets will be
in order. This is another case of wrangling.
1t is great pity that many more Of the COM
mittee don't follow Mr.. Massey's example,
and resign.
Paris opened on "Wednesday last, and
the representative of its people, NJ. NORM
Goustaux, had his hands full, showing the in
vited guests through the pavilion. The Ber-
tillon system of identifying criminals is doubt
less the best method extant. 1t was fully ex-
planned by the police officials.
Even in its incomplete condition, with
monkey wrenches turning, and hammers
pounding to make ready that which should
have been complete in machinery hall on May
1st, there is much to interest, and notably So,
the new tangled printing presses where print
ing and Glding is all done on one machine at
same time. If Gutenberg could see the i'm
provements of today over his time, possibly
he might not be 50 anxious to squabble over
his primitive methods, or even own that b:
knew anything about the art.
When the women get all their fxings fixed
in their building, suspect the men will spend
the greatest share Of their time in that palace,
for truly it is palace indeed. How many
women must envy Mrs. Fuller, vf Mitchell,
quisite opera cloak with muffto match, made
from the feathers Of the p'airie chicken; and
the exhibits of paper flowers show how deft
the fingers may become, when they seem so
real that one must needs to smell them only
to find out they are counterfeits.
Under the dome in the government build
ing stands the trunk of one of Californias s
mammoth trees. 1t meas Tres 40 feet in height
and % feet in diameter. A spiral st .ircase,
running through the center leads TO the top.
A word of advice to those who are not IA
miliar with the different kinds of weather we
can treat YOU to, all in twen'y-fonr hours:
Bring wraps and underclothing to keep out
the cold, and straw hats, and fans to ward of
the heat.
