Regarding the cost of eggs the COM
missioner says:
THE price of eggs is now reduced
lat least at one hatchery in Massa-
chusetts) from $50 to $35 per 100, 900.
1t is, in my opinion, a good deal more
profitable to buy the eggs than to keep
breeders at the hatchery. The expense
OF keeping the fish ponds in repair, feed
ing the fish, buying the meat and pre-
pairing the same for use, and the extra
labor during the spawning season is a
great deal more than the eggs will cost
laid down at the hatchery. =
Il Informed myself how it was pos
sible for them to sell the eggs SO cheap
l learned this: Food for the fish, they
have for the hauling they feed sturgeon
eggs, which they get by the wagon load
at the warehouses on the harbor; they
raise the fish for the Boston market and
sell them when they are over four years
old, full grown. These fish have eggs
from two years up; the eggs would bt
lost IL not taken; 1t pays them to take
the eggs even II they sell them, as now
for $35 per 1000 Four-year-old fst
will average 1000 eggs per fish; 10t
females Of that age will give you 100. 0Ot
eggs. 1t will be een 1t pays them 6

EDUCATED FEET.
Somo HindoO Trndesmen Make Goo1
Use OF Their Pedal Exc
tremitieH.

The French ethnologist, Prof. F.
Regnault, has made special studies in
the far east in regard to the ability
OF the Hindoos to make use of their
feet as auNiliaries of their hands.
This ability is particularly noticeable
when one watches Hindoo tradesmen
at their work. The carpenter employs
his feet as wise and as Il gauge; the
shoemaker holds the shoe between his
feet, leaving both his hands free to
work upon it; the Hindoo butcher
holds knife between the big and the
second toe and cuts his meat by draw
ing it across the knife and pressing
1T down with both hands. The help
OF the feet is most valuable in weav-
ing. and it is wonderful thing to US
to see Hindoo artisan use both his
hands and his feet i'll handling his
loom. Regnault also observed a child
climbing tree and grasping the
branches of the tree between the two
FIRST toes Of either foot whenever a
hold could thus be secured.
This collaboration of the feet with
the hands, it would seem, is the re-
suit CT several changes in the rhvsi-
cal development which the Hindoo
race has undergone in the course of
time through outward agencies.
Their hip joints are much freer and
more timber than ours. and will per-
nit them TO squat on the ground and
at the same time approach the feet SO
near to their hands that they can
grasp with their feet the work in
hand, and hold it with some expense
Of strength. The ankle joint is also
timber, and works freely, and the big
Toe is more developed and can be
moved by them ut will as regards
its bending and stretching, it's sep
arating from and approaching toward
the second toe.
The normal foot of the Hindoo
shows large space between the big
toe and the second; this, however, is
due solely to their wearing sandals,
which are held in place by a wooden
peg placed between these two toes.
The constant muscular exercise prac-
ticed in holding the sandals naturally
tends to strengthen these toes, and the
use of the feet being general custom
and tried even by children of the ten
dGtest age, has gradually changed the
Hindoo anatomy.-Philadelp Rec
ord.

EDITORS AS PosTMAsTERs.

Washington. Feb. 9.-Hereafter edi-
tors who are appointed postmasters will
be permitted to continue their news
paper work without interference by the
postoffice department. This decision
has been announced 10 several persons
now owning and conducting newspa-
pers and recently appointed 10 post
masterships There will be no more
interference with their work SO long as
1t is conducted in cleanly and orderly
manner, and there is no neglect Of bust
ness pertaining TO the postoflice. IL
there is evidence that neglect i'm attend
ing to official matters occurs as a result
of work in the postofiice and on the
newspaper, or complaint is made by
the patrons of the office. then the depart
ment will inquire into the facts. Every
case will stand on it's merits.
1t is said there are more editors who
are postmasters in the second and third
classes of Offices than in any other
branch. The salaries in these offices
range from $1,000 TO $4,000 per year, and
many of the editors would prefer not
to take the offices If doing so compelled
them TO give up the active charge of
their newspapers. This policy is diff
ferent from that OF the last administra-
tion. which notified editor -postmasters
that they would not be permitted to
engage in partisan writing

Continuing. the correspondent re-

the Americans intend TO keep control
OF the Kiondik.. The Klondikers have
already announced that the stars and

washington, Feb. 9.-Three PROPOSE
tions differing materially as to methods
were presented TO the senate yesterday

MIR. Allen Of Nebraska offered, as an
amendment TO the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, resolution
recognizing the belligerency Of the in

TO afford the senate an opportunity To
vote on that proposition.
Mr. Cannon of Utah offered a resolu-
ton urging the president TO notify the
kingdom OF Spain that IL II did not recog-
nize the independence of the Cuban re-
public before March 4. 1898. the United
States would recognize the belligerency
OF the Cubans and within 30 days there
after would assert the independence OF
the Cuban republic.
Mr.. Mason OF Illinois followed with'a
resolution requiring the president to
notify Spain that the Cuban war must
cease at once and declare the Attention
of the United States to restore and main
tain peace on the island. Both Mr..
Cannon and Mr.. Mason gave notice Of
their intention TO speak upon their reso-
lutions today.

st. John. y. T., Feb. 9.-Word was re.
ceived i'm this city yesterday morning
of "a horrible accident on the Inter.

Quebec express due here at 1890 plunged
over an embankment at Petit Rock
seven miles from Bathurst at 2:lo a

and badly injuring the fireman whose
name is Poole
The cause OF the accident is supposed
to he a broken rail. The engine anC
al the cars left the rails. but the pas
sengcr cars did not go over the embank.
meut. and the passengers consequently
escaped injury. The engine turned
completely over. burying the engineer
underneath the ruins. Death must have
been almost instantaneous as the body
was entirely covered by the machinery
and it is doubtless cI.ushed beyond rec
ognition. The fireman by jumping
managed TO escape alive, though he re.
