In most places there is usually
lime enough for fowls IN their feed
or in the pebbles they pick up, but
if the supply is deficient it must be
made up to them. Crushed bone or
shells OF some kind are excellent for
this purpose.
In poultry breeding tn ere can well
be a harmonious cOmbiuation of
utility and beauty. A flock which is
of uniform appearance is prettier to
look at, and, being pure bred, is beJ-
ter for every practical purpose.
We still buy eggs. No farm,
county or State is producing poultry
to its full extent, and there is no
good reason why we may not make
the supply equal to the demand and
keep our money at home.
Ii we put a measure of oatmeal in
a stone jar, pour over it water which
is at the full boiling stage, cover it

the biddies and chicks.

house fixture is the better it will be

Assistant PaymaSter Brown Saved the
Gloucester.

There is bit of unwritten history
about that famous fight between the
converted yacht Gloucester and the
two torpedo boats off Santiago on
July 3. One of the officers tells 1t in
this way:
wainwright put every one at
work. The engineer was placed in
charge of a gun; so was the paw
master, and to the gunnery of the
latter is due the fact that the Amer
can Navy didn't suffer severe loss
on that morning.
The paymaster was in charge of
Colt automatic gun, and he kept
her ripping away like veteran.
The Pluton was plugging at us and
our officers saw a man on the
Spaniard in charge of a rapid fire
one FOUNDER who displayed superb
courage of the calm, stoical sort thai
marked him as dangerous. He was
getting our range rapidly and each
shot was coming nearer to us. The
last one struck within eighty feet
and was aimed at our vitals.
"SOme one yelled to the paymaster
to put that man out of business or
we would be cut in two at the next
belch of the one-pOunder. The Colt
did the work.
Later when we boarded the Plu-
ton We hunted mp the one-pounder.
Around the gun were its crew-dead
five or six menriddled aud riddled
with the Colts bullets. And that
man of splendid cOurage-the stole

the gun with his head fingers clutch

For fireside study this winter
take up the study of bees, their
anatomy, nature, habits, wo'k,
enemies and diseases. The elder
of the family will enjoy
it, so will the children. 1t may be
the start of more than one little for
tune. Get magnifying glass, and
do it thoroughly and Systematically.
Everything must be fed, and it
pays to do it well. Do not let even
the bees lack for good food. Wher-
ever there is a waste place about the
farm make it feeding ground for
the bees.
1t is not cold which kills bees; If
they are kept dry they are all right.
If they have ventilation above they
will keep dry. The moisture which
eXudes from them freezes above
them, and me!ts when a thaw
comes; then the cold weather freezes
them to death.
There would be less trouble with
the digestive organs of the family if
honey was bought with the money
which usually goes for candies and
other sugar sweets.
Sometimes a cold spell lasts so
long that bees, exhaust all the honey
whiting reach of the cluster, and
the bees die although the supply of
stores was abundant.
One of the ways to feed bees is to
fill old stiff combs with warm syrup,
just thin enough that it will not
sugar. Sprinkle it on, for if poured
it will not enter the cells. Fill both
sides of the comb and hang in the
hive before winter.
A rough board fence on the north
side of a row of hives, with the
space between packed with coarse
hay, makes good winter protection.
The hives should be foot or two
from the fence.

Twenty-Five years ago this theory was used

business over this line. There is little
doubt that the Interruptions were due
to the work Of the cable-cutting ship
sent out by General Greeley, and in
charge of signal service officers. But
the mystery of the affair is that the
French cable began working again on
saturday. How this came about is be-
yond explanation by the best cable ex-
perts. The French Gable Company is
as much in the dark on this point as
are the authorities here All that the
company knows is that it could do no
business from the Sd to the 4th inst.
1t is apparent that the cable was not
cut, else it could not have resumed
service. At tho same time, nothing
snort Of cutting can account for the
complete Gripping of the cable on the
Sd. The matter is further complicated
by reports reaching the officials here
to-day that the cable again stopped
working at midnight on Monday. The
condition of this cable is regarded as
important by the authorities here, as
1t is one of the means open to General
Blanco in his communication with the

CAPE HAYTIEN HaytD, May 20
CORRESPONDENCE of the Associated
Press. .)-There are some 300 tons of
coal at this port, held by foreign
manufacturing concern. which will not
sell except at an eXorbitant price. This
concern has cabled to the United States
for a further supply of 2,OCO tons of
coal. but it is uncertain yet whether
it will get so much.
The correspondent of the Associated

completeness of the control exercised
by the censor at Santiago de Cuba. The
censor has a special apparatus on his
desk in front of him, which records all
messages sent over the cable, even the
private gossip exchanged between the
operators.
A Consular case has just arisen at
Gonaives which tested the question as
to whether the Haytien Government

SPANS PLANS.
Sagasta Says 1t Would be Unpa-
triotic to Reveal Them.

MADRID, June S.-On account of the
serious news from the Philippines, the
leaders of the minority parties in the
Chamber of Deputies met Senior Sa-
gasta to-day to consider the situation.
The Premier strove to convince them
of the gravity of existing circum-
stances, urging that they ought imme-
diately to adopt the budget and to de-
clare that the Chamber would sit in
permanence.
The opposition leaders promised dur
ing the sitting of the Chamber to-day
to make declarations regarding the
Philippines of a nature that would ad-
journ all debates.
When the Chamber door opened Senor
Sagasta Immediately spoke. He said:
The Spanish people ought to receive
bad news with manly calmness. Since
the unforeseen disaster at Cavite, the
Government has only received three
dispatches The first came directly af-
ter the destruction of the squadron. 1t
was from Admiral Montejo, and stated
that sufficient means of defense exist
ed. and that the national population
was loyal. The second announced that
Aguinaldo had arrived, and was trying
but without success, to excite the pop
ulation against the authorities. The
third has already been published to-
day
Senor Romero Y Robledo offered his
support to the Government, provided
the Government devotes it's strength to
a defense of the country. and not to
defense of its interests" He accused
the Government of inaction. saying:
"Thirty-nine days have passed with no
resolution regarding the defense of the
Philippines The result is that the ma
tives, induced by the easy victory of
the Americans, regard the Spanish
forces with contempt. If the Govern
ment now seeks a shameful peace or
foreign aid, l shall protest with my
whole strength"
Senior Barrio declared that the Gov
ernment did not deserve confidence, but
that. nevertheless, it might count on
the support Of the CarliSts in every
thing Professor Salmeron made
similar statement on behalf of the Re-
publicans.
Sencr Mella (CarlisD asserted that
the Government had abandoned its
pledges, and he blamed it for a "sys-
tenn of silence" declaring "the nation
which would suffer a Sedan in silence,
could not deserve to figure in history.
Senior Sagasta replied: THE Gov
ernment is not responsible for results
in the Philippines, nor the course Ad-
rniral Cervera has taken. The Govern
ment must execute its plans, and must
not reveal them, which would be unpa-
triOtic."

dispatches from the East as possible
transports are not available, for the
reason that they are coasters and have
no means of transferring coal from the

There is lull at Camp Merritt. The
