snesaa at the Indiana agricultural ex-
nar;uent station, IN which two lots OF
chickens were under observation
There we're ten chickens Of TWO breeds
II each lot. ranging from four TO six
weeks Of age at the beginning of the
sx,arfnent. Each lot received the
same food. care and treatment. except
fnv thar one Was fed all the skim milk
wanted while the other was given
,one The grain fed consisted of two
narts crushed corn. one part bran and
one mart ground oats They were also
fed cracked bone. cabbage and lettuce
when the experiment began the total
weight Of one lot of chickens was only
ane-half an ounce more than the other.
THE experiment lasted from July IL 10
Sept ).
The results of the feeding show that
the chickens fed milk and grain ate
some considerable more grain than did
those receiving no milk The results
also show that the chickens OF lot /
receiving no milk. made an average
weekly gain of . 81 ounces. while those
fed milk made gain per week OF Al

Tie De Lome Incident.

A letter from Senor Dupuy de Lome, dated December 25, 1897, and addressed to Senor Canalejas, has been stolen in Havana by some one in the Cuban inter- est, and sent to the Cuban junta in New York, which gave it to the press on February g, 1898. This letter contained coarse and vulgar attack upon prssi- dent Mckinley, which led to the inme- diate resignation and recall of the writer, who had served Spain well and upscrupulously. But far more i'm portant in its wider bearings than this disclosure of the character of Dupuy de Lome was the fact that the letter re- vealed the utter hollawness of all the Spanish professions, and showed that the negotiations in regard to autonomy and commercial relations were only in-. tended to amuse and deceive the United States. The effect of this revelation was just beginning to make itself felt when the American people were stunned by an event which drove every thing else from their minds.-Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, in Harper's Mag azine.

had each prepared spring poems to recite on the occasion, but owing to the lateness of the hour their reading was postponed till the next regular meeting.
 Editor Reppy was called upon for n speech, but begged to be excused, as he had attended a cake-walk the night previous and had not yet recovered from the effects of it.
 Several applications for member ship from the ladies were read, but up- on vote being taken it was decided by large majority not to admit them. MT. Thurston and George Truman were in favor of it, bu nearly all the others were bitterly opposed, not only 70 ladies as members of Scientific Society but also to woman suffrage as yell. They said spring bonnets, laees, diamonds and flowers interested them more than science or politics.
 There was great uproar at this stage of the proceedings, and after the rendition of the Anvil Chorus, from Norma, By Red Harris and Andy DeDier, the village blacksmiths, and a duet by Tom Peyton and John Phy, the meeting adjourned.
 The next session of the society will be held at the Sheriff's office on the 25th, when Mir. Whittemore will reveal some startling discoveries recently made while excavating in the Casa Grande ruins.

BroiIed and Baked Lob,ter,.

Holsters which are to be broiIed or baked are killed by cutting them into halves; the stomach and long intestine are then removed, the lobster pasted with melted butter, dusted slightly win salt and pepper, and, if baked, placed in a very hot oven for half an hour, basting frequently. If broiled arrange in broiler, scar quickly the flesh side, and broil, shell side down, at an elevation of six inches over a per- tectly clear coal fire for about 30 min utes, or, if underneath a gas stove, with the flesh side up, basting four or five times while broiling.

NOT PROFITABLE AS INDIVIDUAL ENTER
 pRISES

One fact, MT. Newell states, has come prominently forward during the last ten years, since the inauguration of the reservoir work, and that is that water storage on large scale can rarely be made profitable to individ- uals or corporations. Water conserva- tion is expensive at best, and existing conditions, laws, and customs are such that the person who builds dam on the headwaters of a stream is seldom in a position to be benefited financially by the water he impounds. The capitalists who have put their money into such enterprises have involun- tarily become philanthopists-bene- factors of their fellow-men, but not gathers themselves to notable degree. The community as whole has been unquestionably enriched, directly or indirectly, to an extent many times the first cost of the works, but these benefits cannot rebound wholly to the constructors.
 While reservoirs in general cannot be made sources of profit to the in- vestors, there is no gainsaying the fact that they are indispensable to the

FASHION NOTES.
Some short Items on Dress for the Present and the Conn
 Ing Seasons.

Hats made of fur and tulle present an extreme but very smart combination.
 The jet pai.ieiies are in great demand for trimming black gowns in lace or net.
 A soft stock collar is much preferred by some women to that of very unyield- ing material. All collars are very high.
 Buckles form a prominent place amoLg the dress trimmings. They are usec as belt clasps, both back and front, and in small sizes for the center of bows which fas,en the gowns at the side. Crystal set in silver forms one of tke pretty varieties, which is an old fashion revived.
 Nousseiine velours is 2 new material for evening gowns. It has finish ike mirror velvet, but a longer nap. more like paune. and the warp is usually contrasting color, giving fl change able effect
 Foreign fashion notes teFl as of hat pin with . fastener secured by @ tiny gold chain, which makes it impossible to lose the pin without losing the hat. Pins with chains attached are used as hat ornaments to fasten a bunch of flowers in place.
 Spring and summer goods are now filling the shops. and 10 get the first and prettiest designs in thin goods one must not wait until March, Cheviots are in pretty stripes. plain colors and in rather large diagonal plaids. Some of the cheaper cheviots make excel lent skirts, and having considerable body they do not require much starch, and they are not unpleasantly slimsy without any. They must be selected in suitable stripes.
 A solid plaid in white goods makes up attractively and with a certain style of it's own. Figured white has the ad- vantage that it does not show every wrinkle. as do the plain goods. A waist made of the white plaid with sleeves and yoke of the plain is very pretty.
 When velvet is used on an evening waist it must be of the softest quality. The mirror velvet is very much in de- mand. for it is more on the plan of the liberty satin and velvet, and goes into soft folds, and has none of the harsh ness of the heavier velvets. The shades that are used are exquisite, a pretty fashion being the introduction of some contrasting color. A white gown would be relieved by light pink or bright blue velvet introduced on the waist around the low-cut neck and in the sleeves. while with the gray gowns is often seen yellow velvet; indeed, yellow and gray are considered most artistic. If the yellow is not becoming, it can easily be softened with white lace.
 A pin box is a novelty that appeals to every woman. It is common failing of the sex never to be able to keep a supply of ordinary pins, safety pins or hairpins on hand, and the pinbox is de- signed to obviate this difficulty. It is nearly foot long and about five inches wide, and is made of white metal or solid silver. Inside it is lined with vel vet, and divided into compartments for shell hairpins, ordinary hairpins, hat pins, safety pins, and, in short, pins of all sorts. The box is Q beautiful orna- ment for the handsomest of dressing tables, and is a great time as well as temper saver.-Boston Budget.

TWO HUNDRED REszRvo
vEYED.

It may not be generally known that over two hundred reservoir sites have been surveyed and described by the Geological Survey. Years ago., when the question of reservoir sites for ir- rigation purposes was being first gen erally agitated, Congress passed law authorizing the Government to reserve from settlements sites suitable for reservoir purposes.
 Although paratively little has been done in the construction of reservoirs by private enterprise and no Government work whatever has been undertaken in this line. yet the value of the surveys made and the with drawal of these sites from public entry against the time when they will be utilized as reservoirs is apparent. Whether dams are to be constructed by individuals, by States, or by the national Government, the value of the knowledge arising from these surveys is equally great. They enable each citizen to determine for himself where reservoir sites exist, and in general way, whether dam can be constructed to advantage. Although, as stated a large number of these sites have been accurately surveyed, in but a comparatively few instances have dams been constructed and are reser- voirs now supplying the needed water to lands under irrigation. This is true particularly of the more valuable of the sites.

IRnrGArlos SENTIMENT cRysrALL.zIsc.
Government Construction os Reservoirs
 the only Practical Method


 The session of Congress inst closed showed more live, practical interest in irrigation work for the West then any previous Congress in history, and it appears to be fact that public men are waking up to the possibilities of developing the West through this means, and also that the development of the west will benefit every eastern interest. Although the attempt to secure governmental appropriation for the building of reservoirs was finally defeated, yet the Senate, by its vote. has committed itself in favor of the policy, and the fight for the recognition of western rights will be vigorously prosecuted in the next Congress. Moreover, some very io- teresting facts have been brought to light upon the subject in the Senate and House, and eastern men have learned good deal abont irrigation.
 For the information of Senators in this connection resolution was passed directing the Secretary of the Interior to furnish general statement of the origin, character and extent of the surveys of reservoir sites made by the U. s. Geological Survey, with brief memoranda as to present conditions of water storage and the more i'm portant facts, in each large hydrogra- phic basini with a summary of es inmates as to probable cost of con structing dams, etc.
 In response to this Dr. F. H. Newell, the Government Photographer, sub mitted report upon reservoir surveys, which was printed as Senate Document No. 1le 18th Congress. 3d session. While Mir Neweil's report comprises only about twenty pages, 1t contains such comprehensive and able account of surveys of reservoir sites as to be highly valuable to interested parties.

MILLIoNs oF DoLLARs LosT.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST.
 The one great demand Mir. Newell states in his report, or the western half of the United States is for more water during the times of scarcity, This has been particularly aecentuated by the droughts of 1898, when mill ions of dollars were lost through lack. of ordinary supply. Could these losses. have been put into the form of works for conserving food water, they would doubtless have repaid the cost of all. such work. Such losses are far-reach- ing, and they are, moreover, of such character that only the community as whole is competent to guard against them, individual or even corporate ac- tion not being possible. Testimony, generally goes to show that the Government, either State or Nation al. must provide means by which disasters of this kind, as well as floods, may in the future be avoided. Their control is not possible for the in- dividual.
 THE GOVERNMENT THE LOGICAL CON
 sTRUcToR.
 The Government, too, is better con- ditioned to build suitable nd safe dams than are individuals or private investment enterprises. With an ample building fund available the con structor would look to stability and thorough ness of workmanship; if limited iE capital he would adopt the cheapec devices and assume certain risks, with the thought that from year to year the temporary impsrfeetions could be remedied, until a time when. the project became q paying one and larger funds night be obtainable. Tn the first case he might, and probably would, construct the dam of solid masonry; in the second, he might, make it of loose rock or even largely of wood and dirt, with the intention of renewing parts in five or ten years, whenever portions of the material showed signs of decay. .cloud-burst or general storm may send down a flood of such dimensions as to fill the reservoir and overtop the dam, wash ing it away if of earth, as was the case at the time of the Johnstown flood. The Sweetwater dam of Southern California is an example of such sub stantial construction and practical in- destructability that water can pour over the top without damage to it..
 With Government construction, then, dams would be assured which, while entailing a greater original cost, would from the first be safe, substan- tial, and in the end prove cheaper than any private or temporary work.

FASTER TANNER ON DIET

DR.. II. S. Tanner, who 10 years ago
went 40 days and nights without food,
is still in the flesh and clipper at the
age of 81. He says: my stomach,
which DR.. Hammond said would never
digest food again, is working regular
time, and l wouldn't trade it for any
similar digestive organ on earth. l
keep pretty well for a man of my age
and am lively on my feet" The doc
tor is as devoted as ever to his peculiar
IDEAS on the subject of diet BY
eliminating the use of meat he would
reduce the cost of food to the limit
fixed by Dio Lewis at 1912 cents a day.
He attributes i'll health largely to the
use of pork and badly cooked food.
I'VE do not" he says, "eat the right
kind Of food, and we do not prepare It
properly for the table. Why, look at
the hotels | find travelling agrees
with me all right except as to the ho-
tel cooking, and that is terrible. 1t is
unholy cooking. They think they have
got to be up to date, and they have SO
many queer ways of fixing things in an
indigestible way" But the fault. if
there is any, lies rather with the guests
of hotels than their managers, since
the former never ask, so long as their
palates are ticlled. whether hygienic
principles have been consulted in the
preparation of the food. The true idea
of cooking is to retain the natural
flavor of the viands, but the aim of
the modern cuisine is to disguise it,
