been killed and devoured by their
comrades. Similar cases of can

Large Feet and Beer Drinking.

There is a reason for everything.
even for large feet. \ scientific
German is said to have discovered
that it is the result of drinking beer.
Psychologists have hitherto limited
their inquiries to the bumps upon
our heads, they may have to extend
them to our feet. 1t will be a new
argument for the temperance refor-
mer, but at the same time it will be
another hardship for some teetotal-
iers. Indigestion has brought
many a good abstainer under sus-
picion by giving him a red nose,
and now his feet are turning
rainst him, for if they happen to
lie large by nature his enemies will
say it Is beer. It's very hard, but
since he will be a martyr to science
he ought to be happy.

The New Japanese Cruiser.

The steam trials OF the Japa-
nese cruiser Toshino. which has
been constructed by the firm of
Sir ". Ct. Armstrong, Mitchell,
u Co, Limited, from designs by
their naval architect. Mr.. Philip
Watts, have been held under the
superintendent of a commission
of japanese officials. including
Captain Kawara, Mr.. Yamaki,
Mr.. Matsuo, and Lieutenant
Kato. This vessel is generally
similar in design to 9-de-Julio,
which was built by the same firm
for the Argentine Republic The
I0SLinO has, however. attained a
greater speed, and Is at the
present time the fastest cruiser
afoat. She is 350ft. long and
40 tt. broad, and has a dlsplace-
ment Of about 4 COO tons. Her
armament consists Of four 6-inch
quick-fring guns, eight 4,7-inch
quickfring guns, p 3,pound
quick firing guns, and FIVE torpedo
tubes. Lord Ravensworth, in
his address at the London meet
ing of the institution of Naval
Architects, drew attention to this
vessel, and stated that the frin
contemplated attaining a speed
of % knots. This was fully
realised in the trials, when tn
speed attained as the means OF
four runs on the measured mile,
with and against the tide, in ac-
cordance with the practice of the
British Navy, was 23.031 knots.
The actual speeds recorded were

Cannibalism in Saghalien.

The last number of the Wadi-

in Eastern Siberia, reveals a
terrible state of affairs among
the convicts on the Island of
Saghalien. 1t would appear that
the convicts there have been
treated by some of the subordin-
ate prison authorities so harshly
that the Governor of the island
has been obliged to interfere for
their protection. A warder
named khanoff and some of his
assistants, who at one time were
convicts themselves, and had
been raised to the rank of jailors,
have been removed from their
posts. Khanoff- treatment of his
prisoners was so abominable that
a number of them crippled them

The programme also consisted of
a series of progressive trials to
establish a curve of speed for the
ship, the information thus OBJ

THE STORM.

NEW HAVEN, Ct, April 23.-AccOrd-
ing to reports received here from the
various oyster growing districts along
the Connecticut coast the entire oyster
crop was almost ruined by the severe
storm which passed oyer Long Island
sound Thursday night and Friday morn
ing. The oyster growers in this city,
Milford, Stratford, Bridgeport, Stanford,

was the most disastrous storm since
they have been in the oyster trade. d.

Gently the civil engineer OF the state
shell fish commission, who had occasion
TO communicate with the growers in the
places above mentioned, yesterday esti-

are under from two to six inches of sand.
At Milford yesterday the steam dredge1
belonging to w. NJ. MerWin went out,
and where they could catch 1000 bushels
of oysters in two and one-half hours be-
fore the storm they were unable to catch
200 bushels in 10 hours. The action OF
the water, it seems, has washed heavy
layer of sand over the oysters, making il
almost impossible to dredge them, and
unless they work themselves out they
will die. The storm haa been particular.

oyster seed would be sold this season.
About 10000 bushels have been disposed

SWEDISH COLONIZATION.

How far the project of establishing
colonies of Swedes in Vermont might
have been successfully carried out can
not be known for certainty, inasmueh
as it was abandoned, partially owing to
the prejudiced clAmor that was raised
against it, but principally owing to the
abolishment of the Office of State Com
missioner of immigration. That the
project was entirely feasible, il not ad-
visable, has been fully demonstrated by
the experience of Maine.
1t is announced that the Thomas colo
ny in the Pine State has flouriEhed be-
yond the most sanguine expectations
and the settlers have become so numer-
Gus that they have overlooked into
Woodland, Perham and other adjoining
towns. The cost of founding the colo
ny was $4,000, and the valuation as now
fixed by tue State assessors is Sl07, 600.
The Swedes are pronounced an industri-
Gus, law-abiding class of citizens, and a
credit to the State Of their adoption.
In view of these facts there is a dis
position in Maine to found another
Swedish colony. Land Agent Oak Of
that State announces that he has re-
ceived many letters from these people,
who are DESTROYS of forming colony.
They do not ask for land, but have
money, which they are willing to expend
if needed to purchase a township of
land on which to settle. He also has a
letter from Swede in Bridgeport Conn,
who states that he knows of fifteen fam
lilies who are anxious TO obtain Maine
lands for farms. Another writer of one
of these letters states that he has in
mind 200 families who would be glad to
settle in Maine.
Under the circumstances the list of
available abandoned farms in Maine
ought to cease in a short time to be for
midable and the Pine State is to be con
graduated upon acquiring, by adoption,
large and creditable addition to its
earning and producing population

Mrs. Jenness Miller made some
statemontS to Kansas City reporter for
which her sex may feel inclined to take

Don't you know that the average woman

SHOOTING MATCHES.

"Never. Tell me all about it,

gether and shoot for a sheep. Every

and the shortest string wins. The tar
gets are homemade. A bit of board 4

which to measure the string, are all-suf-

II was fooled once, though. A row of
stalwart old Kentuckians were standing
in limo, all of them little nervous
about beginning, and was asked to fire
the first shot. Ny bullet buried itself
in the board, about three quarters of An

of the bullseye. The next shooter was

HE FOUND OUT THE TROUBLE.

There should be some method by
which the commission business in the
great centers could be renovated and re-
lieved of the dishonest dealers. The
shippers are doubtless swindled out of
thousands of dollars annually by those
who locate in the midst of the trade for
that purpose. If some methods could
be devised to weed out many of them by
requiring bonds and by putting them I'M
der inspection, much might be gained.
A correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman
tells how dairyman believed himself to
be victim of the rapacity of Chicago
commission house and how he decided
to get at the bottom of the fraud. This
is the way he preceded: He consigned
gilt-edged butter to his Chicago house
when quoted at thirty-two and one-balf
to thirty three cents. He promptly got
report of sales at twenty-three to twenty
four and ore-half cents with check
Similar sales had been reported before,
and he was not quite satisfied. So he
made his last shipment with purpose
of finding out the trouble. Aftor getting
report of sale, he took the night train
for Chicago and next forenoon sauntered
into his commission HOUSEKEEPING per-
feet stranger-tO buy tub of the 'boet
family butter in the house." Being po-
litely shown among large lot of tubs,
he finally found what he was looking
for-one of his own make, which flavor
Just suited, and he bought it at thirty
four cents pound.
AS he could perfectly identify it by a
private mark, it is needless to say that
he realized at least the highest price
at the date he sent it, and had comfort
able difference ON something over ton
that had been reported sold at twenty
three to twenty-four and one-half cents
only a day or tive before. He also got
plenty of explanations, and apologies
for such queer happenings, but no more
of his butter went to this particular
place. In account of sale, of course the
freight, carriage and commission had all
been properly deducted in the amount
of check sent.
As further indicating the methods of
some houses in reporting their sales,
the correspondent continues: Another
test of crooked work is at times found
in reporting sales of a lot of, say fifteen
tubs of butter, when six or eight single
tubs will be sold at as many different
prices-perhaps marked "off flavor"
when in fact not less than four or five
tubs were filled from the same churning
with exactly the same butter. A few
tubs at about two cents below the mar
keJ and the balance at the top figure will
finish the report. These cuts have
averaged the whole lot several points be-
low the proper figure for the same, and
the shipper is presumed to be satisfied.
If not, he is politely asked to ship more
and promised the "best Efforts of the
house in his behalf. The modus Vivendi
to reduce the average" is used in cheese
sales. "Off flavor is rather plausible
excuse to slaughter quarter Of q ton
down to the figure for poorest skins,
while another quarter of a ton will 60 in

cents cut and portion at top quotations
