Learning 10 Wink.

One Of the puzzling things tn the stu
dents of the new science Of pathology.
or child-study. is the different methods
which children employ in learning to
walk. One child will never creep, but
will rise up suddenly and toddle off,
another will creep entirely with one
knee and in a sideways direction. hut
he. too, finds the use of his legs and
feet in good time. while Il third bitches
along the floor in 8 sitting posture for
weeks before he stands and starts
away. Many more variations of the
plain straightforward creeping have
been discovered. and the experts are
wondering why this should be. as walk
ing is one Of the most instructive hab-
it's of the human animal. and ought to
be reached by Il similar process in all
cases.

Vegetable. for Picking Pay.

The low prices OH garden products
for the past few years have indeed
had a discouraging effect upon market
gardeners. And it is well worth while,
considering the present situation, for
growers of vegetables to compare the
demands of their various local mar
kets. 1t would be impossible for a
gardener in any one section of the
country to tell another far removed
what to grow for profit. But each must
study the demands of his own particu-
lar market. AS to lessening the cost
of production, it seems we have nearly
reached the limit, but by constant
study in that direction we should he
able to increase cur profits somewhat.
In our particular markets, Jamestown,
n. Y, and the Northwest Pennsylva-
mia oil region. know of nothing that
sells as well or pays any better thar
pickling vegetables, in their season.
Housckcepers generally are using less
of the commercial and putting up a
considerably larger store of home
made pickles, for which snail: onions,
cucumbers. caulifiower, peppers, etc.,
are used largely. This particular de-
mand is no doubt widespread. In
marketing these and other vegetables,
neat packages, tasty punches and
bundles, and. above all, first-class
article, go a great way toward getting
good prices. And whatever the dis
lance to market, sell as near directly
to the consumer as possible, and there
by, possibly, save for yourself the
profit of another. Again, close watch
on the different city markets and
prompt shipments may possibly bring
fair returns for heavy vegetables, like
cabbage, turnips, ETC., but with the
chances greatly in favor of loss to
the shipper.-Millard Blodgett, In
Practical Farmer.

CANADIAN REPRESENTATIVES,
Will Come to Washington to Confer on the
 Bering Sea Question.

Washington, Nov. 5.-A new phase of the Behring Sea question developed to- day when the state department was mo- tified that Sir Wilfred Laurler, premier of Canada, and Sir Louis Davies, minis ter of marine and fisheries in the Lau- rier cabinet, would come here early next week to take part in the negotiations.
 The British embassy was not advised and 1t was understood that the British foreign office was equally unaware of the fact that the chief officials of Cana da would come to Washington to treat in person on the subject
 Up to this time the British authori- ties had strenuously insisted that the Behring Sea meeting was to be confined strictly to an exchange of technical in formation between "experts" and they have resisted any larger consideration on the subject which would involve gen. eral principles. How far they will be able to treat concerning the Behrlng Sea, reciprocity or other subjects is Q question of interesting conjecture
 The state department Is much grati- fled at their coming as it is felt to offer the first prospect of considering the seal ing question on broader lines than here tofore.

Special to The Age-Heield
 Tallahassee. Fla, Nov. 5.-Gov. Blox- ham has issued call for the na- tional fishery congress, to meet at Tam pa, Feb. 19, 1898.
 In the call all governors are requested to appoint delegates ito attend the con- vention. The congress is designed to discuss and formulate plans for the propagation and preservation of fish and water products.
 Since the issue of Gov. Bloxham's call for this congress it has created such widespread interest as to warrant the national government extending invita- tions to all the civilized governments of the world and requesting them to send delegates. Japan has already signifed a desire to be represented. Other for eign governments will doubtless send del- egaltes. It is proposed to organize am interna tional fishery association at the close of this congress, when call may be issued for session to be held at Paris during its exposition.

TO PREVENT FRAUD.
The Government Appraisers Will Regulate CIas-

New Yerk Nov 1.-The conference of United States appraisers and customs offFsers, held to arrange some equitable classification of tobacco, on which to baae duties collected at the various ports of entry, was continusd this fore noon in the appraisers store. The con- ference is to continue until late this evening.
 So much confusion and annoyance have been caused by uncertainty as to what constitutes wrapper tobaeco'' and "hler tobacco" that Secretary Gage ordered the conference to settle the mat ter. The duty upon wrappers" is $1S5 pound and upon "fillers'' 35 cents pound. As a result many shippers have been conc 5aEng the ''wrappsrs'' in bales of 'fllens' and evaifng the duty. Then there are "seR-adjusting' bales of to- bacco from Mexico that contain both "wrapplrs'' and "fillers." The confar- erlcs is to frame rules to straighten out the abuse. When the rules are drawn up Secretary Gage will embody them in a general treasury order.

THE PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL
His Bullet Failed to Reach the Desired
 Mark.
IN ATTEMPTING TO DlsARM HIM
A Nephew of the President and Gen. Bittan cour, Minister of War, Were Wounded, the Latter Dying Soon Afterward
 Rio Is Greatly Stirred.

London, Nov GA dispatch to the Times from Rio Janeiro says: At one o'clock this afternoon (Friday) soldier of the tenth battalion, which constitutes part of the local garrison, attempted to shoot President Moraes with pistol. The president was just landing at the marine hospital after visiting the steam er on which General Barbardosa, minis ter Of marine, had returned from Baia.
 Nephew of HIoraes Wounded.
 The bystanders frustrated the attempt but Colonel Moraes, the presidents s nephew, was slightly wounded in dis armng the soldier.
 Minister of War Killed.
 General Bitancour General Marcado BetancourD, minister of war, then in- terfered and was himself stabbed. The wound was so serious that he died soon afterwards.
 The attack has caused the greatest agitation throughout the city.
 Dr. Prudente Moraes de Barrios, presi- dent of the United States of Brazil, was inaugurated for term of four years on Nov. 15, 1894, in succession to Presi- dent Peixoto. He had previously been president of the Brazilian senate. In his first cabinet the minister for war war was Gen. Barnard Vallasquez, who on May last resigned, and was succeed ed by Gen. Maracaido Bittancourt (Bit- tencour), who is presumably the minister of war referred to in the foregoing dis patch.
