as much as five miles in length-they

shad, spot, menhaden or such like In
his stomach can be found numbers OF
smaller fish, according to size.
We have opened one which contained
trout of almost his own size, while
another contained a shad nearly as
large. Still others are found having
within themselves one or more of their
own species of smaller size. But their
destructiveness does not end here. We
have seen them behind school OF shad,
spot or menhaden, and sometimes schools
of mackerel and cod, swapping and
slashing their prey until the water was
all a-foam. They eat until they can hold
no more, but their viciousness is not
abated With snap shad is sundered
and spit out, and the next shares the
same fate. They never tire, and the fish
destroyed, but unbeaten, cover the sur

Monitors and Torpedo Boats.

A monitor is a peculiar battleship,
having low freeboard, light draft and
flush deck and guns mounted in heav-
lily armored revolving turrets placed on
the deck. A monitor is floating bat
terry more than ship and derives it's
name from the first of the class ever
constructed, which battled with the
Confederate ironclad Merrimac in
Hampton Roads. The original Monitor
was described as resembling a great
cheesebox Gil a plank, but it did valu-
able service and revolutionized naval
warfare.
Torpedo boats are the racers among
the war vessels. They are swift, small
craft, designed to launch torpedoes near
large vessels In order to do it's work
properly the torpedo boat must go close
to the object of its destructive designs,
and having placed the instrument Of

Rico and has publicly stated that he
was correctly reported in the recently
published interview in which he harsh

Adjutant General Corbin, which is
equivalent to throwing down the
gauntlet to secretary Alger. The
President sent for ex-Secretary Sher-

Miles and who has been helping
Miles up the military ladder, for the
purpose OF bringing about harmony.
It was the first time that Mr.. Sher-

"A writer in the Agricultural Epito-

That the wave of prosperity will
never strike the idle man nor the in
nate pessimist.
That the farmer who continues in
the old ways is losing ground and
money as well.
That every farmer needs such as
sistance as the Epitomist gives from
month to month.
That the successful farmer is up
and at work at six o'clock in the win
ter and five in the summer
That when you see a farmer trying
new plan it is sure to have come from
some good agricultural paper.
That the much-hated book farm
ing" beats NO farming at all, and that
those who succeed read the books.
That it turns out to be a very good
thing to buy garden and field seeds
early in the season and thus get the
choicest.
That most of our great men are
sons of Woodworking farmers. Indeed
most of our statesmen have come from
the farms.
That some farmers expect thei,
wives to do more work thar they do
The result is impaired health and pre-
mature death.
That the man who talks too much

neighbors make him the laughing
stock of the community.

That most of the wealthy farmers

succeed at farming who does not really
