A Cheap Way to Begin with Hens


Let one purchase hens of the COM
mon mongrel stock-which can always
be got quite cheaply, says the Agricul-
turist-and with these hens mate
purely bred male for the variety desired
to breed into. In the autumn carefully
select the strongest and best-developed
pullets, still retaining the former male
bird. Select only those pullets which
are robust and healthy in every re-
spect, and strongly marked in form,
color and general characteristics of the
breed represented by their sire. Mate
this second crop of pullets to an unre-
lated sire, and the resulting generation
will be equal TO thoroughbred stock of
that breed for all practical purposes in
laying aud marketing qualities.

Senator Chandler Thinks the Victory Of SiIW
is Coming.

| Concord, N. H., Nov. 6.-In an edi-
] torial article signed by Senator Chand-
I Ter in The Monitor. occurs the follow
ing: THE election of Mckinley and
| Hobart by the overwhelming vote of
all friends of sound money, whether
those friends have been Republicans or
Cleveland Democrats makes the in
quiry, What is sound money? the liv-
ing, burning question of the present
and immediate future.
THE real merits of bimetallism as
the true system Of sound money did not
have any hearing during the late can
vass. The proper and just claims of
silver to be retained as part of the
worlds money of final redemption and
as a co-equal partner with gold as the
measure of the worlds values, were not
heard underneath the cry of Messrs.
Bryan. Altgeld and Tilman for i'm
mediate free coinage, in connection with
their other assaults upon good govern
ment, against the supreme court, and
against the enforcement of national law
in the face of mob violence.
But when, within the Republican
party the bimetallists shall make a de-
mand for the fulfilment of the party's
pledge in favor of bmetallism, and
make contention for the merits of sill
yer to be used as money equally with
gold, and not inferior thereto the none
tary system existing before 1873 to be
again reached by cautious but contin-
uous steps in every way consistent with
public and private honor, the decision
win be in favor of bimatallism as the
permanent system required to give the
country sound money which the peo-
pie desire.
1t will not be wise nor patriotic to
challenge the verdict of the nation in
the congressional elections of 1898 up
on the claim that the great Republican
victory of 1896 meant permanent ac-
luiescence in gold monometallism.'

Lewis Jason of this city has signed
with Manager O'Connor to play on the
Rockland polo team. Jason will fill
the position of second rush and has had
much experience as a rusher. He
played on the local teams following the
II. NJ. BIS and afterward went to Port
land where he played with the Murphy
Balsams. Mr.. Jason states that he pre-
fers to play at home rather than in
Portland or Bath where he might have
gone. This leaves but one player want
ing for the makeup of the Rockland
team and Manager O'Connor has his
eyes on several good men. It is improb-
able that McAuliffe will enter the
arena again as it would interfere toe
much with his business. All the old
II. M. B. players will. however line
up against the regulars in the openins
game and there will be fun galore in
watching the difference in the old and
new styles of play. Although out OF
practice the local men may be relied
upon to put up a strong Individual

the second grammar, Leavitt street,
with 16 of her pupils whose ages
ranged from II to 13 years, was pleas
ing feature of the geography depart

in school deals with mountains and
the attending divisions. Judging from
the warm reception with which the ex-
ercise was received, Miss Davis made
no mistake when the subject was
placed before the convention The de-
finition was at first given, then MAX
ing of the mountains, which preceded
erosion, followed by volcanoes, fold
ing of the earth's crust, the effect of
mountains on rivers and the effect on
climate. A talk of the primary high
land was next in order and the noun
tains forming horseshoe almost con-
meets the continents, was discussed by
the class. 1t was also brought forth
in the class that the mountains give
the general direction of the continent
The influence of mountains upon
vegetation, wealth Of country, etc.
was discussed very intelligently. and
showed a large amount of careful re-
search by those who participated.
The subject as a whole was pre-
scented in very entertaining manner
and it was made more attractive if pos
sble by the use of globes. maps, block
and charts.
