WHEN TO HATCH CHICKS.
The Importance of Early Maturity Cannot
Be Too often Emphasized.


Be Too often Emphasized,
The Importance of having chickens
Matched in good time, whether the OBJ
ject be egg production or table chickens,
is apparent, and yet by many poultry
keepers no thought whatever is given to
it, The breeder Of exhibition fowls is
wide awake Oh this point, occasionally
too much SO, and it will pay those who
breed for economic purposes equally
we'll to do So If fowls are allowed to
breed just when they like, the results
can never be satisfactory. Ii we observe
other branches Of industrialism, market
prices are carefully studied, and the at
tempt at least is made to avoid sending
to market when prices are low. But in
poultry it is much easier to gauge the
ruling rates than in many other kinds
of stock. Eggs are always dear in win
ter, and chickens command the highest
prices in the spring months. Conse-
quently the object should be to place
supplies out during these two seasons
and reserve the strength from the other
periods Of the year. But to do so is not
possible unless thought and care are ex-
ercised, and it is essential to take the
necessary steps months in advance.
For winter eggs there is nothing like
commencing to hatch about February
and having succession of chickens I'M
til April. By so doing, at any rate with
more rapid growing varieties OF poul-
try, the earliest should commence lay
ing in August, just when the older hens
are going into the molt and eggs are
falling off, while the succeeding pullets
will take up the tale in proper order,
and many Of them will continue to lay
throughout the greater portion OF the
winter. But in the case of table chick
ems an earlier start is desirable, and
for those who desire to send regular
supply to market Matching operations
should run through from October to
March. In this way birds should be
ready to kill from February to July,
writes an authority on such matters to
Country Gentleman He also says:
Much, however, perhaps more than
we think, depends upon the way III
which the young birds are fed during
their period of growth. Tt would be
possible to hatch birds of the same
breed together, and yet by different
treatment in feeding one lot would
commence to lay weeks before the 9th
er. a supply of good heterogeneous food,
plenty of grit to digest it and regularity
IN feeding, with space to develop frame
and stamina are all important In this
connection,

ATTACKED BY HOUNDS.
A, Keeper Nearly Killed by Two Furious
Animals.

Bridgeport. Conn. December 5.-Ch1isto-
pher Rice IAN attaeha of the Barnam- Bailey
winter quarters had fierce fight with two
German boar hounds last night, and, though
terribly bitten on the hands, ans and face,
was fortunate in escaping with his life.
At the quarters there are eleven of the
hounds During the day they are kept in
one large cage and are as peaceful as can
be imagined. but at night. unless separated
and placed in single cages, will fight among
themselves and tear one another to pieces.
Last evening Rice, whose duty it was to
put tt separate cages, haa locked up
nine uf for the night, and, returning
for the o. Two, found them engaged in
fierce fiaht.
AS he entered the cage the hounds made
a dash at him. One of them jumped at his
throat, but he placed his arm before his face
ii, ,arried the first attack. and although
~ vigorously piled the heavy whip he
earn I'd 1t did not drive the savage beast
aw.y.
The UNEQUAL struggle wps kept up for
some time, the brutes keeping up terrible
growing and barking, which was Joined by
the other hounds in their cages near by.
The noise brought assistance to Rice. When
the resc uers arrived they found him in one
corner of the cage, backed up against the
WALL welding his whip with all his remain
ing strength. Now and then the angry
hounds woald retreat just out of reach and
then renew the attack even mora savagely.
Rice was completely exhausted from loss
of blood If he had gone into the cage when
the whole pack we're there and attempted
to stop fight, the whole number would
have attacked him and hs would have been
killed in short time.

PRISONERS ARE WEAKENING.
Preliminary Hearing on the Mill nocket
Murder Will Be Held Today.

Bangor, December 2s.-Joe Gabriel and
his brother Newall, spent Christmas in
dungeons on opposite sides of the basement
OF Bangor jail. These dungeons are not
cheerful, but they are good places for deep
reflection and the refreshing of dull
memories.
Joe Gabriel, In fact. has begun to recall
more viyid1y the events of last Sunday at
the camp of the murdered Spaniard in the
birch woods of Millinocket. He is not SO
positive in his denials of the story told by
his BROTHER Newall, and says, well. if he
says SO, let it go that way" He has made
certain admissions that he cal efully avoided
ON Monday. and from what Sheriff Reed
has been able to get out of him it is thought
that he will make full confession before
long.
The preliminary hearing was to have
taken place today, but has been postponed
to Thursday forenoon on account of the ab-
sence from the city of Judge Vose.

Phenomenon.

Port Huron, Mich, December 26.-The
citizens of Port Huron witnessed very re-
marka BILE mirage this morning, showing the
Canadian bank of the st. Clair river for
about thirteen miles and both banks from
Marysville to what is known as McGregor's
Point, mile below the Oakland house.
At 7.30 O'Clock this morning, by looking to
the south, Port Huron people could see
Sarnia reflected in the clouds, and even the
ferry boats as they crossed the river. The
frame houses stood out boldly and made one
of the prettiest panoramas ever witnessed.
Following along to the west. Stag Island
appeared, and from there to point mile
below the Oakland house both banks of the
ST. Clair river were visible. st. Clair city
was clearly outlined upon the sky, and
smoke could be seen ascending from the
tops of several smokestacks. The mirage

NAVAL CADET DEMENT'S CASE.
1t Is Believed No Decision Will Be Rem
dered Until After January l-He ID ne
turned to His Work.

WASHINGTON. December 26.-It Is now
learned that no decision in the Cadet Deu-
nett case will be made until after January
/. A point in his favor, however, was the
direction of the Secretary of the Navy that
he be released from arrest and allowed to
resume his regular duties until the decision
is made. Congressman Boutelle looks up
ON this as indicative of settlement IN the
ronng mans favor. The unfavorable
editorial comment in local paper in which
an army and navy paper is quoted, served
to arouse Captain Boutelle to such pitch
that he went, at the fist opportunity after
his return from New York, to see Secretary
Herbert upon the matter.
he presented the view that the criticism
of the army and navy publication was but
the echo of the fault finding of the higher
naval authorities over the fact that civil
ian should interfere with any of their de-
cisions. He told the Secretary that he
hoped that he would take no notice of tht
Congressional boyle man," with Wh9n
these naval authorities tried to frightsn
him.
The morning papers denunciation Ef this
Interference has served to attract consider
able attention to the case, and Sunday
night and Monday long special letters were
sent to leading New York and Philadelphia
papers, in which the Dennet side of the
case was fairly presented.
MIR. Boutelle did not learn until his recent
visit to the Secretary's Office that young
bennett had been allowed to resume his
studies. He had suggested to Mr.. Herbert
the injustice of keeping the cadet under
arrest pending a decision, thereby losing
valuable time from his studies, and the
Secretary, it seems, found the authority for
deciding to allow him to resume his work.
A decision against Maine granite men has
Just been rendered by Chief Justice Bing-
ham of the District Circuit court. Some
time ago Vim. II. B. Stout, Isaac S. Bangs
and Cyrus /. Hall, the last two from Maine,
petitioned for writ of mandamus against
Secretary Hoke Smith because of his re-
fusaI to listen to their claim for damages on
account of a contract to furnish stone for
the new Congressional library. The claims
Of tie men who were in partnership was
something over 100000. The alleged damage
arose from the fact that in consequence of
the change in plans by Congress their wo1 X
was thrown out. Several thousand dollars
were allowed them by the court Of claims,
but this amount they allege was not
= enough to satisfy the damages.

II will not present my Hawaiian

question OF restoring Liliuokalani to
