Buker Kidney Pills and Life Insurance.

A prominent business man not far from
Boston who tried to insure his life, but was
absolutely refused by several companies be-
cause he had serious Kidney trouble, may be
just like yours. When feeling i'll hopeless
condition he heard of Bukers Kidney Pills,
tried them, and was permanently cured and
after vigorous examination the Company
passed him and gave him his policy. That
doesn't mean that he thought he was cured,
but that he 1caS cured, or the Insurance
Company would never have insured his life.
1t is always dangerous to neglect any
trouble with your Kidneys. In these days
of aduterated foods, worries and excite
ments the Kidneys are continually overtax-
ed. They can stand it for time but not al
ways. You are risking terrible disease
ami an early death if you neglect the least
warning.
Buker's Kidney Pills have made wonder
tut cures. Ask your own doctor about their
va ne, but don't wait until it is too late.
Here is case that may interest ou:-"Dr.

President Whitman.

recent issue of the Washington Post
contained the following reference to a
gentleman who is well known in Maine:
''The other day when | encountered
President Whitman, of Columbian Uni
versity, in the depot | was impressed
with his bigness. He seemed to occupy
very much space, and to tower above all
those about him. verify believe he is the
biggest man in town. And he is big in
every way Big in body, big in heart,
soul and brain, refreshing person to
know, and just the man to be at the head
of university where personality means
much. In the short year since he has
been at the Columbian University it has
made steady progress, and is still growing
under his control and the stimulation of
his presence; growing in the best way,
with higher ideals and broader scope.
But the most satisfactory evidence that
he is the right man in the right place is
his popularity with the students. There
is nothing of the old fashioned pedagogue
about him, and he is not the typical col
lege President of former years, but a
young, enthusiastic educator, in sympa-
thy with modern thought and ideas, and
SO approachable that his patience is liable
to be taxed by adoring undergraduates. !"

The Rivers in the Atlantic.

Across the Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf
of Guinea to Cape st. Rogue moves a great
body of water--the Main Equatorial Cur
rent-which can be considered the motive
power, or handspring, of the whole At
lantic current system, as it obtains its mo
ton directly from the ever G4dcting push
of the tradewinds. At Cape St. Rogue
this broad current splits into two parts,
one turning north, the other South. The
northern part contracts, increases its
speed, and, passing up the northern coast
of South America as the Guinea current,
enters through the Caribbean Sea into the
Gulf of Mexico, where it circles around
to the northward; then, colored deep
blue from the fine river silt of the Missis-
sippi, and heated from it's long surface ex-
posture under tropical sun to an average
temperature of eighty degrees it energies
into the Florida Channel as the Gulf
Stream.
From here it travels northeast, following
the trend of the coast line, until, off Cape
Hatteras, it splits into three divisions, one
of which, the westernmost, keeps on to lose
its warmth and life in Baffin's Bay. An
other impinges on the Hebrides, and is no
more recognizable as a current; and the
eastern anu largest part Oh une QlV1ueu
stream, makes a wide sweep to the east
and SOUTH enclosing the Azores and the
dead water called the Sargasso Sea, then,
as the African Current. runs down the
coast until below the Canary Isles it
merges into the lesser Equatorial Current,
which, parallel to the parent stream, and
separated from it by a narrow band of
back water, travels west and filters
through the Florida Channel.
In the South Atlantic, the portion of
the Main Equatorial Current split off by
Cape st. Rogue and directed south leaves
the coast at Cape Frio, and at the lati-
tude of the River Platte assumes due
easterly direction, and crosses the ocean
as the Southern Connecting Current. At
the Cape of Good Hope it meets the cold
northeasterly Cape Horn Current, and
with it passes up the coast of Africa to
join the Equatorial Current, at the
starting point in the Gulf of Guinea, the
whole constituting circulatory system of
ocean rivers, of speed value varying from
eighteen to ninty miles day. Morgan
Robertson in McClure's for January.

The Cultivation OF Fish.
Annual Report of United states Commissioner


Brice.
| The annual report of John J. Brice, u S.
commissioner of fish and fisheries, states
that forty eight million shad eggs were
collected, and from these ninety three mil
lion fry were planted in streams emptying
into the Atlantic ocean and Gulf of Mex
leo, The increase in shad eggs collected
was 30 millions over the previous year, and
if bill now before Congress is enacted
into law auxiliary stations will be estab-
lished on most of the important rivers of
the Atlantic coast and result in an i'm
mense increase in the output of this spe-
cieS.
The output of lobster fry was 81 mil.
lions against ~ millions the previous year,
and Commissioner Brice says there is
little doubt the output in another year
will be increased more than one hundred
per cent.
While the attempt to keep up the con-
stantly decreasing supply of mackerel
along the New England coast was more
or less experimental, twenty-four million
eggs were collected.
| Thirty-one million tautog CLANS eggs
were collected in Buzzard's Bay apd sew
enteen million fry liberated from them
| According to the report great increases
in results at large saving of expense we're
| accomplished with reference to salmon
Matching on the Pacific coast. The total
take of 81 million salmon eggs amounted
to three times as many as ever collected
before in the United States in any one
season.
1t is proposed to extend over the en-
tire country permanent and economical
system of maintaining commercial fisher
les by grouping about the central hatcher
les auxiliary egg collecting stations to be
operated only during the spawning sea-
son.
Another effort will be made to intro
duce Pacific salmon in eastern waters.
Five million eggs will be transferred from
the California station to stations in New
York. Vermont and Maine and fry liber-
ated in the PenObscot, Kennebec, Merri-
mae, Hudson, Delaware and Suspuehauna
rivers.
Attention has been paid to the increas-
ing output of Atlantic and landlocked
salmon at the Maine station and indica-
tions point to a large Increase over pre-
vious years.
Lake trout eggs collected will aggregate
IS OF 20 million.
The cod work will surpass all previous
seasons; p million eggs are expected.
Eastern oysters and Holsters were plant
ed in California and Oregon waters in
October. diamond back terrapin in San
Francisco bay, and eggs of steel head trout
and California game fish were planted in
streams tributary to Lakes Superior and
Huron and the Penobscot river

A Concert on the Grand Banks,

With his eyes fixed on the beams above,
Disko began this ancient ditty, Tom Platt
f1ourished all round him to make the
tune and words fit little:
There is crack packet-crack packet O.
fame,
She halls from Moo York an the Dread
nought's' her name,
You may talk o. your f1iers-'Swallow-tail'
and Black Bali
But the 'Dreadnoughts' the packet that can
beat them all.
NOW the 'Dreadnought' she lies in the
River Mersey,
Because of the tug-boat to take her to sea !;
But when she's off soundings you shortly
will know
Chorus
She's the Liverpool packet-O Lord, let
her go!
"Now the 'Dreadncught' she's howln' 'crost
the Banks O. Newfoundland
Where the waters all shallow and the bot
toms all sand,
SEE all the little fishes that swim to and fro :
(Chorus)
She's the Liverpool packet-O Lord, let
he go.''
There We're scores of verses, for he
worked the ''Dreadnought'' every mile of
the way between Liverpool and New
York as conscientiously as though he
We're on her deck, and the accordion
pumped and the fiddle squeaked beside
him. Tom Platt followed with some
thing about the rough and tough Nc
CHM, who would pilot the vessel i'm
Then Disko obliged with his second
song, to an old-fashioned creaky tune,
and all joined in the chorus. This
is one stanza:
Now Aprile is over and melted the snow,
And outer Moo Bedford we shortly must
Yes, out of Moo Bedford we shortly must
clear,
We're the whaers that never see wheat
in the ear
Here the fiddle went very softly for a
while by ITSELF and then:
"Wheat-in:the-ear, my true-love's posy
Wheat-in- the-ear, we're going off to sea;
Wheat-n-t he-ear, left You fit for sowin';
When l come back a loaf o. bread you'll
be!''
That made Harvey almost weep, though
he could not tell why
Don't let's hev another 'thout some
in between,'' said Dan; and the accor-
dion struck up rafting, catchy tune
that ended:
"It's six an twenty Sundays sence las we
the land.
With fifteen hunder quintal,
An fifteen hunder quintal,
Teen hunder toppin' quintal,
TwlX' old 'Queereau an Grand.''
