A TRUE FISH STORY.

q Lost Bracelet and an Eel.

q Lost Bracelet and an Eel.
; Savilian Beebe of this place made a
big haul with his eel spear few days
ago. Last July among the people who
sojourned at Essex was a wealthy Gin
cinnati family. A young lady member
of this family went out boat riding one
evening, and during the trip she lost a
valuable bracelet from her arm.
The bracelet was in the form of gold
chain that fastened with hook. The
young lady was very much distressed
offered reward of $40 for its recov-
cry. Fishermen searched the river bot
tom for it in vain.
A few days ago Beebe, who usually
makes about two ceiling trips to the Con-
necticut river during the winter, hitch
ed up his horse and drove down. The
ice was rather thin on the old ceiling
ground, and Beebe was obliged to go
about mile up the river TO Brockway's
bend. Here the ice was soft, and Beebe
began work. He worked all day like
beaver and succeeded in getting but one
very small eel.
The next morning he decided to have
fried eel for breakfast anyhow. He took
the eel down from the nail on the side
of the house, where he had hung it the
night before. 1t was frozen as stiff as
marline spike, but he took it out into the
woodshed. and in less than minute he
had its hide off.
He then ran his knife into the cells
throat and showed ii toward its tail.
When about half way down, the point of
the knife struck something that refused
to be cut in two. He slashed into the
cells middle To his astonishment,
long metal chain. as bright as if new,
lay lengthwise of the stomach.

New Blood in Poultry.
TAmerican CultiyatOr I

If we would keep up the vigor and
fecundity of our locks of poultry we
must infuse new blood into them. In
breeding is very good for every one to
a limited extent, but inbreeding is more
for the fancier than for the practical
poulterer. Inbreeding produces fine
exhibition birds, where feathers, size
and shape are nearly all alike-almost
perfect from the Judges point of view.
AS a rule these true-to-a-feather birds
show wonderful amount Of stupidity
and lack of vitality at the exhibitions.
They are generally slow to move, slow
to lay and slow to develop.
While inbreeding has its purpose it
certainly can not be recommended to
the practical poultry raisers. We need
inbred fowls to be crossed with other
birds. In other words, new blood must
be constantly introduced into the flock
if profit is to be gained thereby. The
fowls that we want for oar use must
show activity, strength and vitality.
Every move of their body, legs and
head should indicate alertness, power
and quickness. How different from
the stupid, inactive birds Of the exhi-
billions that have been inbred to death.
There is probably point beyond which
even the fancier would not dare to 20
in close inbreeding. His own focks
would then deterioate so in size, quality
and animation that he would gain
nothing by it. But as a general rule
the average fancier in breeds too close
to make the birds of use to the prac-
teal poultercr except as strain to in :
troduce among the more practical birds
OF the farm yard
In order to have plenty of fresh eggs
fresh blood should be introduced into
the fiocks every year. Get as good
blood as possible to introduce, but
even a mongrel bird will help the his,.
bred birds better than none at all. In
tact, sometimes the mongrel bird will
bring points of hardness and endur-
ance into 1ocks that can not be OBJ
tanned from those that have been so
carefully reared for generations past.
The rooster should be obtained from
good stock, and very often of a differ
ent breed from the hens. and if a new

one is obtained each season enough
fresh blood will be brought into the
flock to make the standard of the birds
high. There is little chance of deteri-
grafton, and more eggs will be obtained
than from flock that has been closely
inbred for years.
The very actions of the birds will
tell whether fresh blood is needed. If
the BOOSTERS show attention to the
hens, counting them in every way
possible and giving them choice bits,
it is safe to say that they have sufficient
vigor and vitality. But if the rooster
is dullard and laggard, not follow
ing in the chase after insects and
worms, and the hens are quiet and
disinclined to exercise much, it is about
time to seek new blood.

| can not lay too great stress on
the matter of strict temperance.
Drinking beer, wine or spirits is a
useless and dangerous habit. 1t does
no good, and if the habit is continued
it is almost sure to lead to destruction
and death. Taste not, touch not !;
handle not. You should have the
courage to say no if you are asked to
drink. In looking back over my life
l can recall many of the best and most
promising of my companions who are
ruined by the habit of drinking-not
one of them ever imagined that he
would be wrecked in mind and body and
eventually fill drunkard's grave.
There is no safety in moderate drink
ing. Every one who touches at all is
in danger.

With Love.

Love is its own perennial fount of
strength. The strength of affection is
a proof, not of the worthiness of the
object, but of the largeness of the soul
which loves. The Savior loved his
deciples infinitely more thai his
disciples loved him, because his heart
was infinitely larger. Love trusts on,
ever hopes and expects better things,
and this is a trust springing from
itself, and out of its own deeps alone.
Therefore, come what may, hold fast
to love. Learn the new command
ment of the Son of God, mot to love,
but to love, as he loved. Go forth in
this spirit to your life duties 60 forth,
children of the cross, to carry every
thing before you, and win victories for
God by the conquering power of a
love like his,-Federifk ". Robert
son.

The Trees are Dying.

The effects of the great Easter freeze
are now showing in the forests. Many
of the trees then were almost green
with leaves and after the freeze they
looked like torch had been stuck to
the branches. Many of them "put
out" again and looked like they would
grow but since the hot dry weather
set in they are dying. The woods are
now dotted with the dead leaves on
giant oaks and tall hickores. 1t is feared
that the worms will get in the timber
and destroy large part of it. The
insects will get in the dead timber and

knee. the familiar, old iingles OF Mother
Goose.
Our literature is peculiarly literature
OF home life and child-life, and, in its wide
range, hundreds OF other child-characters
appear.
Topsy, Little Dick, Tommy Twaddles,
Tom Brown, Eppie and scores OF Others
pass in silent review before US. How famii-
lar is each dear little face. From queer,
black little Topsy, who "Jes grOwed,"
to fair, fragile Murel, with her highborn,
patrician face and delicate, iady-like
manners, the whole of them are dear to
our hearts.
The influence which these child-char-
acters WELD over the hearts and minds
of men is immeasurable, and this is not
wonderful for, since Christ, the Son OF
God, humbled himself to be born as a
little child, childhood has become a sa-
cred and divine estate
There are many people who find it
difficult to believe that Christ ever had
a real childhood. They can easily picture
him as he walked the shores OF Gallilee,
healing the sick, or as he stood upon the
Mount OF Olives revealing the Divine will
to the multitudes, but when they try to
picture him as GA simple child that
lightly draws its breath their magma
ton fails.
There are some, however, those who
live closest TO him, who love to think OF
him as a little child who grew and
waxed strong becoming full of wisdom
with the grace of God upon him.
A care-free, happy child, playing in the
woods and fields OF Gallilee.
After Christ had assumed the character
OF the "Divine Master how often his
mind must have reverted to those happy,
childhood days.
By his own words, He has made child
hood sacred. Think of him standing, in
his goodness and mercy, with his infinite
heart overlooking with love, saying:
"Suffer the little children to come unto
me-
Time and time again, Christ places the
little child in the midst OF us telling us:
Except We become as one OF these, We
can in no wise enter the kingdom OF
| Heaven"
What holy childhood must his have
been and "Since the child OF Nazareth
Set on it thus His seal andsign
Who-till mans sin hath marred it
saith that childhood is not still divine

Mischief Makers.

Always withhold your opinions from
one who deals in personalities, and
beware of him who is always the bearer
Of unpleasant news, who twists and
turns your condolences and puts you
always on the defensive by damaging
insinuations and reports; who listens
to one side and never hears the other !;
who never has the courage to correct
when he has been corrected with
conviction. Such people have thous-
and ways and wiles tc mischief making,
disguised so we can not describe, yet
we may know such by acquaintance
quite too often.
