Last winters cold seems to have
been fatal to sea animals on the French
coast living AZ deep - one hundred feet
below high water, reports NJ. Fauvel to
the Academic des Sciences. Dredging
for the Tatihou laboratory in May
brought up nothing but dead or de-

1T il well known that the thickness
Of the layer Of fine sand in filtering beds
cannot BE- reduced beyond certain
point without endangering the quality
Of the water that filters through. Dr..
Kurth, of Bremen, has found in exam
ining water filtered through a layer not
sufficiently thick that the number Of
bacteria was greatly increased, owing
to the presence Of special microbe that
could not be found in the water before
it entered the filter. These microbes
must, therefore, have existed in the
fltering material and have been devel-
oped by the passage OF water through It.
There had been great falling Of

It IL estimated that 1.500 car loads will
yet go forward this season. but even
then the shipments will be fully 1900
car loads, or 36,000.0o0 pounds, below
last years record. The decrease 10 at-
tributed to the failure Of the apricot

LADY JANET's GHOST.

Lady Janet Gordon, by marriage
Lindsay, was condemned for tho muir

prisonment on top Of the Ravens rock,

River Ericht. Here. saws the legend.
every day, before touching food, ''she
had to spin . thread long enough to
reach from her prison till it touched
tho river" Her Life was protracted
till she was over one hundred, but even
when she died the murderess could not
rest and "her ghost was seen to sit and
spin, and often the keen angler, as he
fished the Ericht below the Ravens
rock. was startled by seeing . shadowy
thread coming slowly down till it
touched the water. when it disappeared
and the scared fisherman knew that
the lady's task was over for the day."
Year after year went on and the lady,
who had in her veins drop of the
Stuart blood-royal, continued to spin
until ''the black day of Colloden," when
the Stuart cause was lost forever and
many of the brave Strathardle lads
who had escaped returned to hide in
their native glen. Among others came
Big Neil Of the Trouts, 20 called from
being . very expert angler.
He chose as his hiding place hole
under some large powders on the
bank of the river. little above the
Ravens rock, where he kept himself
and some comrades who were also in
hiding close by well supplied with
trout. But q severe thunderstorm
passed over Upper Strathardle. fol-
lowed by such deluge Of rain that it
brought down the river in one breast
Of water. Neil of the Trouts lay in his
den, no doubt thinking It would put the
river in good fishing ply, when the wa
ter poured in. When he got out the
rushing torrent was 30 strong that it
swept him away down the stream.
just az he gave himself up for lost the
eddy swept him under the Ravens rock
and he saw q thin thread hanging down
from the cliff and, as drowning man
will clutch straw, he grasped it and TO
his astonishment it held and he found it
strong enough to bear his weight and
check his onward course and by its help
he slowly drew himself to the bank. AS
he stepped ashore he heard q wild
scream of Joy overheard and, looking up,
he saw the Lady Of the Rock standing
on the top Of the cliR with her dista6 in
her hand. from which hung the thread
that had saved his life. Her task was
done, her punishment over. She had
saved the life Of gallant follower Of
the Stuarts, her own royal race.
II is hardly, we presume, possible that
the penal spinning Of the Lady of
Strathardle should be faint and far
away echo from the legend celebrated
by Tennyson in THE Lady Of Shalott.>

are coming to realize that the goat may
be made one Of their valuable domestic
animals, not merely q poverty-stricken
substitute for q COW, but an addition to
the farm community, filling place Of
its own and giving return peculiar to
itself. "A Missouri farmer writes to an
agricultural paper that he finds goats
profitable for rough land filed with
weeds and bushes. He has had them
four years, and they have destroyed
the bushes, sumach and small persim-
mon trees.
His hoga have been free from disease,
while his neighbors, who did not keep
goats. lost mostof their hogs by cholera
He ate the meat Of young goats, and
liked it better than mutton. His ex-
perience eoincides with that Of farmers
in countries where the goat is extern

not among them. owing partly to there
being comparatively little waste land,
but also, according to s. H. Pegler, an
authority on the subject, because there
'4the advantages of goat keeping are but
imperfectly known" and the American
lack Of appreciation for goats may be
inherited. In Ireland. ON the contrary,
the number Of goats has increased IN
recent years. OF course, the goat can
not compete with the COW as the single
milch animal for those able to keep the
COW, but it has advantages in places
where the COW cannot be kept, and as
an addition to the profits of farm.
In the first place, it is great instrument
for extending pasture lands. It will eat

leaves, shrubs and weeds that no other
