The Victorious CaStine B. 8. c.

The Castine base ball team defeated the
Red Seals of Stockton at Castine Oct. 9th.
making four straight games won from
that club. Reynolds, who is the Castine' S
crack pitcher, was put on the rubber
against the Stocktons and he pitched a
fine game as usual and he also hit well.
The Stocl<tons had Leonard in the box,
and he had been such a puzzle for the
CASTINGS in two games which he had
pitched against them this season, they
felt little shaky. Although he put
them over with terrible speed and struck
out ten men, the CASTINGS got quite a
number of nice fly balls in left field, and
assisted by the gale of wind which was
blowing these were carried over the fort
for three and four bases, most of which
would have been put outs on a regular
sized field, but it was just as fair for the
Stockton batsmen as it was for the Cas-
tines.
The CASTINGS close the season without a
single defeat, having beaten the Belfast
team with Dlworth pitching, and they
have also shut Bucksport out without a
rum which is good record.

The American Hen.
She Earns $3.50. 200 900 a year,

Written for the New York World by H W.
Collingwood of the Rural New Yorker,
Mrs. American Business Hen is one of
our most useful citizens. She is shrink
ing, unassuming creature, too modest at
times even to cackle over the birth of her
own egg, leaving that celebration to her
husband; and vet Mrs. American Hen
has been quietly paying off mortgages,
driving wolves from the door and hatch
ing out nest eggs for thousands of feath-
less bpeds.
In 1890 there We're in this country 25S, .
81, 125 chickens and 26, 73S, 315 other
fowls. In that year the American hens
laid 1886, ga, 992 eggs. There are now
300, 600, 900 chickens, which Will lay this
year Is, $50, 600, 600 eggs. These eggs are
worth S1G5, 600, 600, and the poultry meat
sold during the year will bring S125, 000,-
600 which gives $500, 600, 900 as a very
low estimate of the earnings of Mrs.
American Hen for one year of the great
depression.
The $50, 900, 600 hens are worth S105.

earnings of the hen. The average length
of an egg is two and onehalf inches.

make chain, 542, 21S miles long, while
the total weight of this production of hen

eggs and meat means to the country?

minutes a little schooner poked her nose

of James P. Allaire, in New York City,
where he was employed for several years.
In 1886 he received the appointment of
chief engineer in the I. 5. Navy, and dur
ing the year following he constructed the
first steam launch to be put to practical
use in this country. He was the first to
use zinc in a marine steam boiler, and in
the hold of an iron steam vessel, though
this distinction was claimed by an Eng
lishman twenty years later. In 1874 he
was made engineer in chief of the engi-
neer corps organized in 1882 and served
in this capacity for six years, when i'll
health caused him to retire. After travel
ling in Europe, he returned to New York
and devoted himself with conspicuous sue
cess to large engineering enterprises. Mr..
Haswell has held several important public
offices, in which he has done notable work,
and he has been conspicuous as one of the
trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge, and as a
member of the leading societies of engi-

of civil engineers and naval architects of
Great Britain. In addition to his Me
