the United States made a prompt de-
mand for reparation. The British
government gave this in the fullest
manner and without question.
Displays of force were made by the

There are a large number Of prece-
dents which might aid in shaping ac-
ton in the Maine case when the facts
are fully established. While none Of
the cases show the fearful loss of life
caused by the Maine explosion, yet
they include many instances in which
the United States had adopted energet-
1c measures to redress the killing of
American citizens in foreign coun-
tries. In a general way these meth
DDS of redress have included demands
for indemnity, proclamations exclud-
Ing war ships of the offending nation
from the Unite States harbors, dis
play of force, non-intercourse, with
drawal of the minister, reprisal and
blockade. Some of these steps Dor
der closely on war, although they are
regarded as movements just prelimin-
airy to actual hostilities and as
amounting to a threat that force will
follow if reparation is not made.
The case of the Water Witch is con-
sidered to be the most nearly analo-
gous to that of the Maine, should it be
established that the Maine disaster
was not the result of accident. The
Water Witch was United States ship
engaged in 1855 in surveying the en-
trance to one of the rivers of Para
quay. Without warning, and by or

The President reported the facts to
Congress, and in his message asked
authority to make demonstration OF
force which would insure suitable re-
dress.
In response Congress authorized him
to "use such force as is necessary to
secure ample reparation. Accordingly
an armed fleet was hastily assembled
on a scale which was regarded as re-
markable for those days. The expedi-
ton included nineteen ships, twenty
five heavy guns and two thousand five
hundred sailors and marines. Ac-
companying this fleet were civilian
plenipotentiaries prepared to present
the demands of this government and
enforce them by calling on the fleet.
The expedition made a formidable
showing in South American waters,
and President Lopez government was
awed into complete subsection by lis
presence. The American commits
sioners and naval officers were receiv-
ed at Asuncion with much honor, and
every reparation within the power of
the republic was given. This included
an abject apology, a sweeping disa-
vowal and $4,000 for the sufferers
from the outrage. AS the republic was
willing to grant full reparation, the
naval expedition did not exert the force |
it was prepared to use in case of a re-
fusal. When the facts of the expedi-
ton were reported to Congress, the
President said that the dispatch of this
formidable naval fleet had had a salu-
tary influence throughout the world,
and had convinced foreign nations that
the United States would protect the
lives of it's citizens with all the force
at its command.
The case of the firing on the United
States ship Chesapeake by the British
ship Leopard is another case affording

SCIENTIFIC Poultry Raising.

Little has as yet been done for the
poultry industry by our experiment
stations or otherwise. Even private
investigations have been Of an imper-
feet character, and many of the re-
suits obtained have been very unsat-
isfactory if not delusive. We have
formed a great many opinions on our
observations. but it will doubtless be
found that both opinions and observa-
lions have been wrong in many cases.
Such has been the result in other lines
of farm industry. We thought that
we knew that in the milk of the dairy
COW the food made the richness or the
poorness according to its quality, but
we found that all of our observations
in that matter were decisions. So it
will doubtless be with the poultry
facts CD that we have secured. What
what we need is extensive investiga-
lions into the principles of poultry Gull
ture. Both public and private atten-
ton should be given to the matter. 1t
may be that in time we will be able to
the roup and kindred dis
eases over wide areas of country. We
may even be able to exterminate the
louise of the chicken variety as thor
oughly as we have in many localities

A vERITABLE FOOLS PARADISE
Monte Carlo and the Great Profits of
the Casino Company.

the Casino Company.
We hear at intervals of the man
who broke the bank Of Monte Carlo"
and more frequently Of unfortunates
whom that institution has broken. Ev-
erybody is familiar with the fairy-like
aspect of the place, through innumer-
able descriptions, views or stage pic
lures. And the realities are tangible
enough, when we read the periodical
reports of the toy principality's bust
ness or the pamphlet lately published
by the Casino company relative to its
dealings with the prince Of Monaco.
The prince lives upon the annual sub
sidy he receives from the gaming es-
adjustment, and his principality-a
tract Of less than ten square miles
with about the population of a small
American towns maintained from
the same source. In other words. the
gambling spirit of polite Europe is
here concentrated, organized, admins
tered and run" with handsome prof
it's by the joint stock company that
leases Monte Carlo and it's concessions.
What these profits amount to may be
gathered from some of the figures of
the statement Of expenses given in the
shareholders pamphlet. Last seasons
expenditure of the principality-apa
from the maintenance of the Casino
which was s4,170, O0O-amounted to
$4,000 Of the latter sum the prince |
received s25O,OO0; the courts, police,
ETC., absorbed 100000; clergy and |
schools, $4,000; charities, $4,000;
prizes for sports, $55,OOo, and the post
office and losses, $4,000. Notwith-
standing these expenditures $780, 600
was paid out in dividends on shares
Summing up, therefore, we find a total
revenue Of s7,7OO,0 900, representing the
amount left at Monte Carlo by the
fools of the world" for a seasons plea
sure. A lcrge portion of the balance

amounting altogether to s125, 900. This
means, as the Monte Carlo philanthrop-
lists frankly explain in their pamphlet.
that lit is absolutely necessary to ex-
pend large sums in securing the good
will OF the continental press" Some
OF the alluring but imaginative tales
Of vast winnings and bank breakings
may be traced to this source. It is
also a fact that some of the stories of
suicides at Monte Carlo are the inven-
lions of envious journals that do not
come in for share of the spells.

Selfshness has a good sense as web
