Catholic Fair the Main Attraction
Next Week.
AT MINERS UNION HALL
Two Balls Will Be Given During the
Week - Proceeds of the Fair VIII
Be Used to Build a Priests
House.

The Catholic fair will hold the boards
ton. 1t opens this evening in Miners
Union hall and continues all week. On
Monday evening, the 18th, there will
be two balls, one in Hibernia hall and
one in Miners Union hall. One ticket
will admit the holder to both halls.
The ladies will serve an elaborate
lunch to both balls. Two full and su-
perb orchestras have been engaged to
furnish the music.
The ladies of the church have la
bored long and faithfully to provide
an attraction which will undoubtedly
prove to be grander in every detail
than any previous event of a similar
nature. The business men have re-
sponded literally to the call for dona-
lions to a worthy cause and these good
women desire publicly to express thell
hearty appreciation and gratitude fol-
the generous contributions. There are
articles to be sold valued at all the
way from 10 cents to 5000. The several
booths or stands will be in charge OF
competent hands.
One special departure is the arrange
ment by the executive committee OF
two matinees, Wednesday and Satur-
day afternoons. At these there will be
music, games and the other fair at
fractions. They are arranged with
view solely to cater to those who can
not conveniently attend on other days.
The children are especially invited to
attend There will be no charge for
admission.
The ladies urgently request that chill
dren not attended by parents or selling
tickets do not attend the fair during
evenings. Then the room is always
crowded by grown persons; besides the
little ones unaccompanied should at
tend in the afternoon and go to bee
early in the evening.

Poultry Notes.

From Farmers Review: Don't neg
lect furnishing your poultry with an
abundance OF grit and green food, for
this keeps them in health and the
healthier your breeding stock is the
better matches you will get, and the
stronger your young.
OF course, you know the stronger
the young the better success you will
have as to the growth, and the per cent
of grown fowls.
Don't neglect having the breeding
stock exercise, lots Of exercise, they
cannot have too much to give best re-
suits.
Gather eggs every day and keep in
moderately warm place to prevent
the germ becoming chilled. Turn
every day and the eggs can safely be
incubated after being kept three weeks.
Provide plenty OF nests and plenty
Of clean nesting, straw or soft hay, this
will prevent filthy eggs. Dirty eggs
should never be set or marketed.
One good cock is enough for IL or
16 hens, one drake to five ducks, and
one gobbler to 10 or IL hens.
It is not necessary to have a SWIM
ming place for the ducks, but the eggs
will give a larger per cent of fertility
IL they are allowed to swim, then the
frogs and frogs eggs furnish Them q
good food.
The first or 10 eggs laid by duck
each season rarely hatch. 1t is not
safe to set them. Furnish plenty Of
straw In the duck pen and their eggs
will not need washing which will lower
the per cent OF Matching. Keep them
penned until nine o'clock In order to
gather their eggs, and bring the eggs
in Of cold mornings as soon after be-
Eng laid as possible. They might hatch

e. e. Chester. In an address 70
horsemen, said:
The few farmers who improved their
opportunities during dull times to
build up a good breeding herd. and
went on raising horses regardless OF
prices are now reaping golden har-
vest not only in the sale Of stock in
the market, but in the demand there
is for brood mares from other farmers.
During the past year there has been
an increased interest on the farm, In

er demand the present than for many
years in the use of valuable sires. The
late M. w. Durham said only few
weeks ago: II feel that better times
have come for every man in tho horse
business who grows good ones" In
my mind this is the key note to the
situation. My neighbor sold three four
year old geldings for 500. Another
sold three for 5000. Each received all
his stock were worth. A part Of the
difference between the two sales repre-
sents the difference between good sense
and bad judgment in business trans
action about five years ago.
A few, alas very few, farmers read
the live stock and farm papers and are
keeping posted as to market demands
and are furnishing stock OF credit
able type, and not one of them has ever
been known to express regret when
using or selling, that they had taken
unusual care in selecting foundation
stock, and in keeping posted In what
professional horsemSel we're doing.
These are pleased that they were not
frightened when 1t was echoed from
every hill side in all the land, back to
the valley between the hills, ''the day
of the horse is past" The horse that
is best suited to the conditions Of the
western farm is the draft horse. With
fairly good judgment in selection there
need be few blanks. The colts and
their dams are useful in all the heavy
work of the farm. They are easily
broken to work, and when we'll
fattened are as easily marketed as
a bunch of steers. They command
always good prices, and the
market has never yet been over
stocked with good ones. The shrewd
horseman needs not to be told
that in the revival of the horse indus
try there is a great field Of usefulness
and profit in supplying again these
farmers with stock. All the breeds
and classes Of horses have their friends
on the farms, hence there is room for
all to aid in supplying the demand for
horses great and small, fast and slow.

MAKING STEEL PENS.
A Short Description of an Interesting
~ Process

- Process
Briefly described, steel pens are
made as follows: First the steel Is
rolled into big sheets and then cut into
strips about three inches in width.
The strips are heated to bright red
and are then allowed to cool gradually,
which anneals them. They are next
rolled to the necessary thinness, and
are cut into blank fiat pens, and the
pens, while fiat, are usually stamped
with the brand or the name of the
manufacturer. To shape the pens is
the next process. The rounding makes
them hold the ink and distribute 1t
more gradually and evenly than could
be done If they were fiat. To harden
them they are heated to a cherry red,
and then suddenly cooled. This not
only hardens them, but makes them
elastic. The polishing, Sitting, point
ing and finishing come next, and then
they are ready for use. The little
holes in the pens at the end of the Sits
serve to make them more elastic and
to facilitate the flow of the ink. 1t Is
said that more steel is now used in the
manufacture of pens than in that OF
swords. 1t is even claimed that the
metal annually used in their manufac-
ture weighs more than all the metal
used in the manufacture of war i'm
plements. If this be true, much force
is added to the time-honored saying,
that ''the pen is mightier than the
sword"

CHAPTER XVII.


The raft was found to answer well,
and although her progress through the
water was not very rapid she obeyed
the helm and was under command.
Both Philip and Krantz were very
careful in taking such marks and OBJ
servations of the island as should en-
able them, if necessary, to find it
again. With the current to assist
them they now proceeded rapidly to
the southwark, in order that they
might examine large island which
lay in that direction Their object,
after seeking for Anime, was to find
out the direction of Ternate, the king
of which they knew to be a variance
with the Portuguese, who had fort
and factory at Tidroe, not very far
distant from it; and from thence to
obtain passage in one Of the Chinese
junks, which, on their way to Ban
tam, called at that island.
Toward evening they had neared the
large island, and they soon ran down
it close to the beach. Philips eyes
wandered in every direction to ascer-
tain the presence Of Amine's raft, but
he could perceive nothing of the kind,
nor did he see any inhabitants.
That they might not pass the object
of their search during the night, they
ran their raft ashore, in a small cove
where the waters were quite smooth,
pnvt
morning, when they again made sail
and prosecuted their voyage.
They sailed all DAY and when night
came put up their bark for safety in a
cove they came across.
Before morning strong breeze,
right on shore, had sprung up, and the
surf became so high as to endanger
the raft to continue their course was
impossible; they could only haul up
their raft, to prevent its being dashed
to pieces by the force of the waves as
the seas broke on the shore. Philips
thoughts were, as usual, upon Anime;
and as he watched the tossing waters.
as the sunbeams lightened up their
crests, he exclaimed, ocean, hast thou
my Anime? If so, give up thy dead!
What is that?" continued he, pointing
to a speck on the horizon.
"The sail of small craft of some
description or another" replied
Krantz; land apparently coming down
before the wind to shelter herself in
the very nook we have selected"
You are right; it is the sail of a
vessel-one of those peroquas which
skim over these seas; how she rises on
the swell! She is full Of men appar-
emily"
The peroqua rapidly approached,
and was soon close to the beach; the
sail was lowered, and she was backed
in through the surf.
Resistance is useless should they
prove enemies" observed Philip. 1--WE
shall soon know our fate"
The people in the peroqua took no
notice of them until the craft had been
hauled up and secured; three of them
then advanced toward Philip and
Krantz, with spears in their hands,
but evidently with no hostile inten-
lions. One addressed them in Portu-
guese, asking them who they were.
Ito be continued.)

CHAPTER XVI.

"A few hours after he had thrown
the pilot into the sea they gained the
shore so long looked at with anxiety
and suspense. The spars of the raft,
jerked by the running swell, undulat-
ed and rubbed against each other, as
they rose and fell to the waves break
ing on the beach. The breeze was
fresh, but the surf was trifing, and
the landing was without difficulty.
Krantz supported Philip to the beach,
and led him to the shade: but after a
minute he rose, and running down to
the nearest point, looked anxiously for
the position of the raft which held
anime, which was now far, far away.
Krantz had followed, aware that, now
the first paroxysms were past, there
was no fear of Philips throwing away
his life.
"Gone, gone forever" exclaimed
Philip, pressing his hands to the balls
of his eyes.
mot so, Philip, the same Provi-
dence which has preserved us will GER
tainly assist her. 1t is impossible
that she can perish among so many
islands, many of which are inhabited;
and a woman will be certain of kind
treatment"
eff 1 could only think So" replied
Philip.
He and Krantz collected the carpen-
ter's tools, and best arms, and all the
ammunition, as the possession of the
latter would give them an advantage
in case Of necessity; they then drag
ged on shore the sail and some small
spars, all of which they carried up to
a clump of cocoanut trees, about hun
dred yards from the beach.
In half an hour they had erected an
humble tent, and put into it what they
had brought with them, with the ex-
ception of the major portion of the
ammunition, which, as soon as he was
screened by the tent, Krantz buried in
a heap of dry sand behind it.
The next day Philip and Krantz had
many serious consultations as to the
means which should be taken for quit
ting the island, and going in search or
Anime; for although Krantz thought
the latter part of Philips proposal use
less, he did not venture to say so. 10
quit this island was necessary; and
provided they gained one of those
which were inhabited it was ali that
they could expect AS for Anime, he
considered that she was dead before
this, either having been washed of

Butter Fat,

AS has been pointed out before in
fat that milk contains is not depend
ent so much on the kind Of food the
COW eats as on the COW herself, says
Coleman's Rural World. The butter
fat content of milk is an individual
and inherent characteristic and is not
varied by the character OF the food
eaten, except within very narrow linn
its. It is q characteristic that is trans
Missile by sire and dam to progeny,
even through a number OF generations
and it is because of this fact that we
have individuals, herds, families and
breeds that are noted for the large per
cent of butter fat found in their milk.
One expects a Jersey cow to give rich
milk, although the expectation is not
always met. From a Holstein cow we
usually look for large flow of milk,
but not high per cent of fat. II it
were possible to feed fat into milk by
giving rich food, 1t would be an easy
matter to get together herd of cows
that would average 500 pounds of but
ter a year by taking a lot of heavy
milking Holstein cows and then feed
ing such food as is supposed to add
to the fat content of the milk 1T is not
to be understood that the "butter fat"
characteristic is absolutely unchange-
able, for such is not the case; but
greater changes are made in it by
other means than by the food eaten.
Exposure to unaccustomed extremes
of temperature, rough treatment and
other causes of excitement will result
III a material reduction in the per cent
of butter fat.

CHAPTER XXV.-(Continue
Although Philip had said little to
Schriften since the separation from
Anime, it was very evident to him and
to Krantz that all the pilots former
bitter feelings had returned. HIS
chuckle, his sarcasms, his HE! he!"
were incessant; and his eye was now
as maliciously directed to Philip as it
was when they first met. 1t was evil
dent that Anime alone had for the
time conquered his disposition; and
that with her disappearance had van
ished all the goodwill of Schriften to-
ward her husband For this Philip
cared little; he had much more seri-
Gus weight on his heart-the loss of
his dear Anime; and he felt reckless
and Indifferent concerning anything
else.
The breeze now freshened, and they
expected that in two hours they would
run on the beach, but they were dis
appointed; the step of the mast gave
way from the force of the wind, and
the sail fell upon the raft. This oc-
casioned great delay; and before they
could repair the mischief the wind
again subsidized, and they were left
about a mile from the beach. Tired
and worn out with his feelings, Philip
at last fell asleep by the side of Krantz
leaving Schriften at the helm. He slept
sonndly-he dreamed of Amine-he
thought she was under a grove of
-cocoanuts, in sweet sleep; that he
stood by and watched her, and that
she smiled in her sleep, and muir
INJURED Philip" when suddenly he was
awakened by some unusual movement.
Half dreaming still, he thought that
Schriften, the pilot, had in his sleep
been attempting to gain his relic, had
passed the chain over his head, and
was removing quietly from underneath
his neck. any portion of the chain,
which, in his reclining posture, he lay
upon. Startled at the idea, he threw
up his hand to seize the arm of the
wretch, and found that he had really
seized hold of Schriften, who was
kneeling by him, and in possession of
the chain and relic. The struggle WAS
short, the relic was recovered, and the
pilot lay at the mercy of Philip, who
held him down with his knee on his
chest. Philip replaced the relic on his
bosom, and, excited to madness, rose
from the body of the now breathless
Schriften, caught it in his arms, and
hurled it into the sea.
MAN or devil! l care not which"
exclaimed Philip, breathless, escape
now, if you cant"
The struggle had already reused up
Krantz and Others but not in time to
prevent Philip from wreaking his ven
geance upon Schriften. In few words
he told Krantz what had passed; as
for the men, they cared not; they laid
their heads down again, and, satisfied
that their money was safe, inquired no
further.
Philip watched to see if Schriften
would rise up again, and try to regain
the raft; but he did not make his ap-
pearance above water, and Philip felt
satisfied.

Big Goat Ranch.

What Is to be the biggest goat ranch
in the world has recently been started
at Lamy Junction, N. NJ, where the
Santa Fe branch leaves the main line,
by Robert Foerderer, a morocco and
kid manufacturer of Philadelphia, IN
connection with Lucius Beebe, leath-
er dealer of Boston, and several other
capitalists. They bought what is
known as the old Lamy grant from
the Manzanares family, at Las Vegas,
and have already stocked it with forty
five or fifty thousand goats, which are
to be used for breeding. Mr.. Foerderer
is said to use an average of 10000
skins day in his own tannery, which
he has been getting mostly from Cen
trail and South America, but he thinks
he can raise them cheaper than It
costs to import, and it is contended
that the skins Of goats and kids bred
in that climate are softer and tougher
than those from hot and moist coun-
tries. The best skins are said to come
from the warm, dry regions of north
ern Africa. There are many small
herds of goats in New Mexico number
ing two or turee thousand, mostly own
ed by native Mexicans, but this is the
first time, so far as can be learned,
that northern people have gone into
the business to any extent.

The following morning they hoisted
their sail and quilted the island. Need
it be said in what direction they steer

quarter where they had last seen the
raft with the isolated Anime.
