Farm Notes.

A great many of the hens will soon be-
gin to fan off in the number of eggs laiG
but such happens every year, and hap
pens because the hens cannot lay eggs
and produce new feathers AT the same
time. This annual throwing off of the Old
feathers and putting on a new plumage is
known us 'moulting. As animals shed
their c6slts and nature provides for a re-
newal Of the covering Of many animals
birds. fishes. reptiles. and insects. we find
the same thing in the poultry yard. The
old feathers begin to drop out and new
ores commence 70 grow. This process
requires about three months and as
moulting dehilitates the fowl, by causing
q great drain on the system, egg produc
tion ceases. The hens that begin 10
mount carly SHOULD be retained. as they
will be the ones that will finish the pro-
CESS before winter and be ready for lay
irg by the time eggs so up ig price again.
hence never soil the ones that begin to
mout early. as they viii be your winter
layers. but feed them bone. meat. linsecd
meal, and variety nGt overlooking a
little sulphur in the food occasionally.

Waite's landing, where General J. M
Brown had kindly given the use of his
Dig hay fields and barns near the shore.
The day and wind were favorable and
many tests wer made of the lifting ca
pacity of the various forms of kites tc
ind the ones having the greatest eff
cheney for carrying the weight of self
registering instruments into the upper
atmosphere. The gentlemen We're very
much pleased with the performance of
swo patterns ara have ordered them for

J. J. McDerInott Breaks the Worlds Rec
 ord in the 25-Mile Road Race.

Boston, April 19,-The Marathon games, under the auspices of the Bos- ton Athletic association, and patterned
 after the games at Athens, Greece, in noon and were witnessed by thousands of people. They included twenty-five
 mile road race from Ashland, Mass,
 to Boston, and athletic games at lrv- ington Oval, while the road race was in progress. The winner of the former
 proved to be J. J. McDermott of the Pastime Athletic club of New York. who covered the distance in two hours
 fifty-five minutes and ten seconds, low
 ering by ten seconds the time made in
 the twenty-five mile race at Athens. Fifteen runners started from Ashland Lat 12:19 p. m., and the course was through Natick, Wellesley and the New
 tons to the finishing point at Irvington Oval.
 Dick Grant, Harvard's famous mile runner, kept with Gray of St. Georges Athletic club, New York, as far as Wellesley. At that point McDermott
 came up and after a sharp race with Gray to Newton Upper Falls passed the latter, who was forced to drop to the rear. From Newton Upper Falls to the finish 1t was McDermott's race and at
 the close he led the second man by nearly mile.
 The first six men to finish and who
 are prize winners, were as follows:
 First, J. J. McDermott, Pastime Attn letic club, New York, two hours. fifty five minutes, ten seconds; second, J. J.
 Kiernan, St. Bartholomew's Athletic club, New York, three hours, two min
 utes, eight seconds; third, F. P. Thell of Jamaica Plain, three hours, six min
 utes, two seconds; fourth, Hamilton
 Gray, St. Georges Athletic club, New York, three hours, eleven minutes, thir- ty-seven seconds; fifth, H. T. Eggle- ston, Pastime Athletic club, New York, three hours, seventeen minutes, fifty
 sevond; sixth, James Mason, Star Ath- letic club, three hours, thirty-one min-
 utes.

 as secondary importance to the road race. The summary follows: One hundred yards dash-Won by William J. Holland, Boston college,
 (three yards). Time, ten and one-fifth
 seconds.
 One hundred and twenty yards high

CUBAN INSURGENTS DEFEATED.
They Suffer Losses and Lose Leaders in
 Several Engagements.

Havana, April 19.-Colonel Alkea, with the Navarro battalion and de- tachment of local guerrillas, has been engaged in the woods near Jacas, prov ince of Matanzas, with the remainder of the united insurgents, commanded by Regina Alfonso, Cervantes and Ben ito Socorro. The troops captured the insurgent camp, killed all of the enemy and captured the insurgent, Major AL varez.
 Later the troops pursued the insur- gents to the Cienaga de Zapata, where, in another engagement, the insurgent captains, Fernando Sanabria and Jul ian Sanabria, Sergeant Chavaz and Lieutenant Colonel Sorocco were killed and several others were wounded and are believed to have since died.
 The Maria Cristiana battalion had @ skirmish with an insurgent force com manded by Aguilera. The latter was killed with six of his men.
 The Viscaya battalion at Veguitas. near Trinidad, province of Santa Clara has had a skirmish with the scouts of Quinlin Banderas.

Fire Commissioners

The new engine house for the Twelfth ward was discussed last evening by the board of fire commissioners, after which the matter was referred to Messrs. Walker and Sanborn to draft plans for the house and submit them to the board. The committee was instructed to have plans for a double and also for a single house prepared.
 Commissioner Macdonald favored the single house, and an engine and truck to each house, when practicable, as under this arrangement the appara- tus could be distributed in different parts of the city, but he did not think under the present conditions it would be wise to expend so much money as would be required to carry out the scheme.
 In the double house arrangement, which includes a hook and ladder for each house, he thought that the time was not far distant when it would be found advisable to place small engines in those sections Of the city which do not have paved streets.
 The residents of the Twelfth ward will have not only new engine house, but they will have a new engine, as the board decided last evening that un- der the vote of the court of common council there could be no trading of an old engine for the new one to be pur- chased, and that 1t must go to the new house.
 Messrs. Walker and Morgan were in- structed to secure bids for the new steamer and submit them to the board.
 The new steamer will be much lighter

Robinson and Henry Stoddard filed to-day with the clerk of the superior court their answer as counsel for the Aetna Life Insurance company, in the suit which Frederick A. Belts. the insurance commissioner, has brought against the company. The answer is a lengthy document of twen- ty-four typewriter pages.

It Is specially denied that the capitalization referred to in the complaint was made from gains and profits belonging to the mu- tual department and to the participat- ing policy holders. The company claims to have done everything accord ing to law and in accordance with the act of the legislature
