600 eggs which the average female
shad naturally spawns. only about 10
per cent are Matched, and Of the
young so produced, fully ninety per
cent. are devoured by large fish before
they reach the sea in Autumn. OF the
10000 eggs Of the same fish artincially
fortified and cared for. over ninety
per cent are Matched. This is one Of
the many instances in which the arti-

WARRIORS CONSERVATIVE
WORDS.

MaJor-General Miles, the commander
of our land forces. takes a comprehen-
sive view Of the question Of the dis
memIberment of the Chinese empire by
the great European powers 1t is we'll
worth reading He says:
The measures and policies being in
augurated by at least three OF the great
powers Of the world at the present
time are more far-reaching, more sig
nliicant than any movement OF a mill
tary character In the whole history Of
the world. They affect the commerce
OF the world and the future of mil
lions OF the human race more than any
event which has yet occurred. II a few
OF the great powers can dismember a
country occupied by vastly superior
numbers to their own aggrandzemont
and in their own commercial and DO
litical interest, will such action not in
the near future seriously affect the
welfare and especially the foreign
commerce OF the United States? The
influence will likely be felt first by our
neighbors in South America. Hence
the words of Washington seem 10 be
doubly wise when he warned us
against foreign entanglements, and, at
the same time admonished that In time
OF peace prepare for war.
These are the words OF man who
is supposed to be welded to the great
and destructive science OF modern war
fare, and they could not have been ut
tered at more opportune time than
this, when the jlngoists are howling for
this country to embroil itself IN the
quarrcls Of the nations OF the Old
World.
General Miles is one of the bravest
men In the service, and there is NO
Jingoist, however rampant he may be,
who will dare assert that cowardice
prompts the words above quoted.

Several months ago our people were
startled by the announcement that Mr..
VIM, Needs, an employee about the
docks, had disappeared. The case was
turned over to the authorities and care
full search was made for him. The bay
was dragged time and again but no trace
could be found, though his wife firmly
believed that in some way he had &C
cidentally fallen into the bay. This
theory proved to be correct, us the
BODY was recovered Sunday about
noon The ice having moved from the
docks the body tloated and was found
by a man who was going for row.
1t is evident that the man in GO
ing to work had missed his footing and
fallen INTO the water and WAS unable to
save himself While it is hard to know
the truth in this case. vet it is easier
than the suspense the family has en-
dured for several months past.
