SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-Advices re-
ceived from Japan by the steamer Coptic
tell of an encounter between the crew of the
American sealing schooner st. Lawrence
and Captain Gunji of the Island of Ski

a supply of water, but instead of doing so,
went on a hunting expedition and tried to
to return to their vessel. They refused and
finally Captain Gunji fired a shot from an
artillery piece over the vessel This had the
desired effect on the men, who secured a
supply of water and returned to the
schooner.

An Orators Wit.

Gen. George A. Sheridan, who died
the other day in the National soldiers
home at Hampton, Va, retained his
keen sense of humor to the last. Not
long ago a visiting friend said to him:
George, you're not quite so heavy as
when l saw you last, but you must
feel better by having lost so much of
your ov~erabundant weight" With a
twinkle in a dulled eye, Gen. Sheri-
dan said: 81 once weighed PAS pounds,
and every pound of it felt good. l
now weigh 143 pounds, and every
pound of it feels bad" As his visitors
were leaving the grounds Gen. Sheri-
dan accompanied them to the gate.
They looked upon beautiful lawns and
magnificent trees, which were reflected
in the glistening waters of the Hamp-
ton Roads. With a kindly thought,
the visitor turned to Gen. Sheridan
and said: George, this is a beautiful
spot, and you have here charming sur
roundings." The intellect flashed
again, and again the eyes twinkled as
the famous stump orator said: Yes,
a beautiful place. if you don't live

The Indians First Parents.

The famous summer resort, Moun-
Desert island, was the Evolutionary
Garden of Eden of the northwestern
Indians. According to their story the
first nan was a youth with golden hair
and eyes like the hazel berry. His Eve
came to him from the clouds. She i'm
mediately proceeded to make herself
disagreeable by cutting off Adams
golden locks. These she began to weave
into q cord. At this stage the Indian
god of evil appears and binds her with
the cord she has made. She stops grow
ing, but not working. From a tall
green stalk she gathered yellow seed,
out of which she made bread. After
these first people had taught their chill
dren how to raise and use the grain they
were translated to the constellation
stars known as the Sickle, whence they
still watch over their earthly HOME

THE COLOR OF CORN.

Feeding Value, Says Prof. Morrow, Is Not
Affected by 1t.
Upon the much-discussed question
of whether there is a material differ.
ence in the feeding value of yellow and
white corn, Prof. q. E. Morrow writes
the Metropolitan and Rural ,Home:
Chemical analysis shows that no appre-
ciable difference depends upon the color
of corn. There are minor differences in
the composition of different varieties
and considerable difference in the
structure of the kernels as to hardness.
In my observation, yellow varieties are
more frequently hard than white ones.
but some of the white varieties have
very hard kernels. While l can give
no reason for the fact, it is true that
OF hundreds of varieties tested at diff
ferent experiment stations the average
Weld of the white has been somewhat
larger than that of the yellow. Prob
ably a majority of the farmers believe
that the white varieties have not as
much value as tie yellow. l have often
heard the expression that the yellow
corn Is more heating My w view IS
that neither yield ROT composition &c
ponds on the color of the kernels; that
some varieties are much better in yield
and slightly better in quality of DIE
color, and some of the other"

Windmills may be turned on and run

An old buggy axle is used for the shaft,
which is set in boxes at the top of the

the mill is set free to face that way.

THE HENS.
They Need Three Meals n Day and Plenty
of Pure Water.

They Need Three Meals n Day and Plenty
of Pure Water.
I feed my hens three times n day, as
regularly and as carefully as 1 do my
horses, and see that they always have
fresh, clean water by them and sappiy
them with clean gravel and oyster
shells, says 4 writer in Pacific Rural
Press. 1 keep the hundred hens in two
colonies, and have n warm house for
each and n yard attached, so that l can
keep them shut up if desirable, but I'M
less the yard is large enough to furnish
grass, l let them out awhile in the even
ing. If hens are let out an hour before
shutdown they will get a feed of grass
and CLEAN any waste food without being
likely to get into mischief. Hens like
variety in their food, and, while bran
whole corn and oats once a day, and
cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and any
kind of ripe fruit or melons that are I'M
salable. In cold weather We always
give a warm feed once or twice a DAY,
and this can be best lone by cooking
and MASKING unstable potatoes or
scalding oil meal. In either case make
a thin mush and thicken with bran and
corn meal. A gallon of potatoes can be
cooked on the stove while breakfast is
being prepared and then thinned to
such a consistency that it will easily
mix with the bran and meal, and then
thickened and fed warm. A single
pound of oil meal Will thicken two gall
Ions of boiling water until it will be like
molasses, and this will make the feed
for 100 hens both warm and rich.

ANIMAL KINDERGARTENS.
How Beavers Educate Their Kittens
Young Offers and Birds.

How Beavers Educate Their Kittens
Young Offers and Birds.
1t Will be noticed that all creatures
which have large families, whether
beasts or birds. have less trouble in
rearing them than those which have
only one or two young. Little pigs are
weeks ahead of calves in, intelligence
and the young partridge, with its dozen
brothers and sisters, is far more teach
able than the young eagle. There seems
nc doubt that the latter is taught to fly
by its parents. A correspondent in
forms the writer that he has watched
the old birds so engaged and the young
eagles reluctantly following them to a
height.
Specialized education in animals be-
gins late. The beaver kittens training
does not begin until the autumn of the
year in which it was born. The old
beavers, which have moved up tribu-
tary streams into the woods or roamed
20 the larger lakes during summer,
then return to inspect their dam and
repair it for the winter. They then cut
down q few trees, and, dividing them
into logs, roll them or tow them to the
dam. The kittens meantime are put
on to what in a workshop would be
called a soft job" They cut all the
small branches and twigs into lengths
and do their share of light transport
service In the mud-patting and re-
pairing of the dam the beaver kittens
take their share, but there is little
doubt that they do so because their
elders are so engaged. 1t is n kinder
garteR of the best kind, because mud
patting and stick-cutting are a great
JOY and solace to old beavers as well is
young ones, and so instruction. pleas
ure and business are all combined.
Young offers. and probably also young
water-rats, have to be taught to go into
the water. According to the observa-
tions of Mr.. Hart. the late head-keeper
at the zoe the young offers born there
did not enter the water For weeks. and
even then their mother had to mind
them and fetch them out when she
thought they had had enough of it.
They swim naturally when once in the
water, and this seems true of all ami
mails, though in the early autumn OF
this year a young retriever, bred on q
dry and waterless district in the Downs,
was found to be unable to swim. 4
stick was thrown into the Thames for
it to fetch. 1t plunged in, but soon
sank, and, though rescued. was almost
insensible.-London Spectator.
