Emperor William is having the finest
sort Of a time in celebrating victories
Won over the French. 1t not only
gives him daily opportunity to play
with soldiers and to make rcasonant
speeches to his hearts content, but 1t
d~iStracts public attention from the
growth of socialism in Germany, and
really makes a few people believe that
the empire exists to-day, not in spite
of but on account of the HohenZollern
family. Taking everything into con-
~sideration, however, a big and nomi-
nally civilized nation might possibly
find better for self @loritica-
ton than its successes in overpower-

gained p years z were achieved at
a moment when France was utterly
unprepared for war, when h had no
a general who knew his trade or his

Kiln for Drying Cypress Shingles.

4 new automatic compression dry
kiln process for the drying of cypress
shingles has been patented. By this
process the material is dried in a very
moist atmosphere and the outer sur
faces are kept damp until the interior
of the material is heated sufficiently
TO give off the moisture which 1t con-
tains. in the shape of steam, and by
this means the unequal expansion in
the shingle is avoided and II is dried
uniformly throughout without injury.
Ii is claimed that shingles dried by
this process are not checked, warped
OF hardened, and that they come from
the kiln in u perfect condition Tor

is comparatively little fishing nova
days by hand-line, except in the small
boats manned by three or four men that
go out only little distance from shore
Enormous are the catches made in a
single day and by single boat. Some
of the larger craft have no trouble at
all in securing 200 quintals of fish for
single days work. That is 10000
pounds. or 5000 or 5000 cod. One
man often finds it possible to pull in
400 to 500 cod day.
Few fish are as prolific as the cod.
A single female is said to contain
oftentimes as many as 5000, 900 eggs.
Comparatively few of these are ever
hatched, of course, and the fry that
actually do appear are still further
reduced in number by all sorts of con-
tingencies. Very few of them in pro-
portion actually get to be three-yea
old fish. Like the young Holsters,
the fry frequently eat each other, and
besides they are, even III shallow
waters, constantly at the mercy of
larger fish. Trinity Bay should be
within few years the finest goldfish
ing point on the northern coast.
The real idea of the hatchery, as it
has been we'll put, is "to conserve
rather than to preserve. That is. the
project is to secure definitely for the
Newfoundland fishers now and for all
time constantly increasing supply of
cod and Holsters. for it is almost solely
upon these two things that the prosper
ity of the island rests.
In salmun, too. there has been con-
siderable done with the hatchery. and
salmon fishing bids fair in a few years
TO take an important place in New
foundland fisheries.

THE CARNAGE AT PERRYVlLLE.

In talking about the battle of Perry
vile, one old veteran said: 81 tell
you, there were bigger battles during
the war. and ] was in some of them,
but never saw hotter one for the
number engaged, especially on our left,
where Jaokson's. Rousseau's and Sher-
idan's divisions where engaged. The
field presented CHASTITY sight after
the fight. / concluded, after the enemy
had retreated and all was quiet, to go
to the left and take look at things
Our brigade, Carlan's, had been but
slightly engaged, and suffered but lit
tie loss. The further to the left went
the worse was the destruction. Dead
men and horses were scattered every
where. In some places hogs were eat
ing the bodies. In others the bodies
were gathered in groups and rail pens
built around them. Many of them
were terribly swollen, that is, of our
dead. The bodies of the confederates
were not so badly swollen. The great
swelling of the bodies Of the dead
Union soldiers was due to the fact that
they ate good deal of meat, while
the rebels, who ate little meat, did not
swell rapidly.
"But, as l was saying. the further
got to the left the more dead I saw.
In one place 1t looked like ] could

ished, and men and horses lay about
thick. 1t was an orchard near a
stable. The guns were all lying on
the ground and the wheels all chopped

eight-gun battery, presented to him
by the ladies of Cincinnati, and that
the rebels, who had captured it, being
unable to take it off when they re-
treated, for want of battery horses,
chopped it down with axes.

Near by lay the body of a dead confed-
crate, his breast having been carried
away by cannon shot. 1t seemed that
he had been eating when struck, for in
one hand was clutched piece of corn
bread, which, softened by the rain,
was oozing through his fingers. In
the other hand he grasped piece of
meat. 1t was sad sight and moved
on. 1t was soon dark, but kept my
direction by the line of camp fires
some distance ahead. Pretty soon my
feet struck something soft and stopped
down to feel what it was. My hand
rested ON something clammy, and just
then fash of lighting for an instant

eyes of dead soldier. The revelation
was so sudden that / closed my eyes for

CURIOUS FEATURES OF LlPG.

The steamer Forest Queen Sunday
had an excursion party from Biddeford
on board, and at the request of some
of the excursionists Capt. Oliver ran
out by Wood Island. AS he passed
the light he saluted it with the cutom-
airy three whistles. Scarcely had the
echoes died away when a dog dashed
out of the lighthouse and ran at full
speed toward the fog bell. He was
followed by man. 1t is needless to
say that the dog arrived at the bell
first, and he Immediately began to
jump into the air as though trying to
reach something. When the man ar
rived ON the spot it was readily seen
what the trouble was. The bell rope
was hung upon nail and the dog
could not reach it. However, as soon
as the man removed the rope from the
nail the dog seized it in his teeth. and
with great deal of apparent satisfac-
tion, answered the steamers salute.
The dog knows his business, and never
fails to return steamers salute. -

CREMATION IN PARIS.

The fourteenth annual bulletin of
the French Cremation Society states
that in Paris alone more than 10000
bodies have been burned since the COM
mencement of the movement. The
process of converting the corpse of an
adult into ashes occupies slightly less
than an hour. The society, which
counts among its members a large
proportion of women, continues its
active propaganda by the aid of circu-
lars and lectures. Uniting practice
with theory, it renders aid to poor
families desirous of adopting this
mode of disposing Of their dead by
contribution, as far as its funds will
permit, to the expense.

HEARD A VOICE EIGHTEEN MILES AWAY

An inquiry was recently made in
London as to the greatest distance at
which mans voice could be heard,
leaving, of course, the telephone out
of consideration. The reply was most
interesting, and was as follows: Eigh-
teen miles is the longest distance on
record at which mans voice has been
heard. This occurred in the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, where one
shouting the name "Bob'' at one end
his voice was plainly heard at the other
end. which is eighteen miles away.
Lieut. Foster, on Psrrys third arctic
expedition, found that he could con-
verse with man across the harbor Of
Port Bowen, a distance of 6,696 feet,
or about one mile and a quarter, and
Sir John Franklin said that he con-
versed with ease at distance of more
than mile. DR.. Young records that
at Gibraltar the human voice has been
heard at a distance Of ten miles.
Sound has remarkable force in water.
Colladon. by experiments made in the
Lake of Geneva, estimated that bell
submerged III the sea might be heard
distance of more than sixty miles.
Franklin says that he heard the strik-
ing together of two stones in the water
half a mile apart. Over water or a
surface of ice sound is propagated with
great cleaIness and strength.
DR.. Hutton relates that ON quiet
part of the Thames near Chelsea he
could hear person read distinctly at
the distance of 140 feet, while on the
land the same could only be heard 76
feet. Prof. Tyndal. when on Mount
Blanc, found the report of pistol shot
no louder than the pop of champagne
bottle. Persons in balloon can hear
voices from the earth long time after
they themselves are inaudible to peo-
pie below.-Harper's Round Table.

infested grain. Into these the grain
is poured and either revolved while ex-
posed to heat or subjected to violent
agitation, which kills the insects.
Frequent handling of grain by shovel
ing. stirring or transferring from one
receptacle to another is destructive to
the moths. as they are unable tol extri-
cate themselves from the mass and per-
ish in the attempt. The practice of
storing grain in large bulk is also re-
commended. as the surface layers only
become infested. Natives in India
store their wheat in air-tight pits to
preserve it from the rice weevil, and
condemn ventilation. In Europe and
America, ON the other hand. ventilation
is practiced with decided benefit.

SEVERAL Philips county farmer!

SEVERAL Phillips county farmers have been able to pay up their debts this fall and are really carrying a bank account. One, who has been unable to clear up the books of his creditors for several years, accom- plished that feat this fall and has quite sum of money oh hand as a nest egg. The cause of this pros perity is not wholly the good price they are realizing for the cotton crop, but the production of some thing to live on instead of buying everything from the merchants, as in other years. The moral is plain: diversity your farming and live at home, and verify thou shalt grow fat. Helena World.
