Birds That Fight Eagles.

In Foula, one of the Shetland islands.
the natives make business of rearing
skau gulls In order to rid the island of
the eagles that congregate there and
commit many depredations. The mag
nificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt
the northwestern coast became ia
yorite haunt of the eagles, and in this
inaccessible spot they increased SO
rapidly that they became a terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot. The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foe of the eagle. In battle
the guils are nearly always victorious.
and so the Inhabitants of Foula hit
upon the novel plan Of feeding and car
ing for the skau gulls, which, though
formidable TO their feathered enemies,
are very peaceful and docile when
brought In contact with man.

Captain B. w. Morgan, every inch a
Welshman himself, likes to tell this
story when there is another Welshman
in hearing, says the PIttsburg News.
He went home to dinner one day and
found a paperhanger at work In the
house. He asked the time, and Captain
Morgan told him 1t was noon.
Il guess I'll knock off and go home
to dinner then" the paperhanger re-
marked.
"Stay and eat with u.s." the captain
said and the invitation was accept
ed.
Captain Morgan was attentive to his
guest during the meal. He had pro-
digious appetite. The captain helped
him to roast beef several times, until
at last he had some curiosity to see
just how much the fellow would eat
without crying enough. The game was
growing quite interesting when the fell
low began to show signs of /litting.

The Japanese Woman.

The chief duty of a Japanese woman
all her life is obedience; while unmar-
ried, to her parents; when married, to
her husband and his parents. when
widowed, to her son. In the Greater
Learning OF Women" we read:
"A woman should look upon her
husband as II he were Heaven itself,
and thus escape celestial punishment
THE five worst malaNes that affilct
the female mind are: Indocility. dis
content, SANDER, jealousy and silli-
ness. Without any doubt these five
maladies afilict seven or eight out OF
every ten women, and from them
arises the inferiority of women to men.
A woman should cure them by self-in-
spection and self-reproaeh. The worst
of them all, and the parent OF the 9TH
er four, is silliness!"
The above extract shows us very
clearly the position which women have,
until quite recently, taken In Japan.
Az a German writer says. her condition
is the intermediate link between the
European and the Aslatic. On the one
hand, Japanese women are subjected

educated as the men. and take their

relations. They are without legal
rights, and under no circumstances

THE WORD BLIZZARD.
Said to Have Been Used In South DR
kOtn In the Sixties.

kOtn In the SAAties.
A we'll known book of reference
states that the Chicago Advance was
the originator of the word blizzard"
on the 6th of January, 1880. Old tim
ers in South Dakota take exception 10
the statement. 4 story is told by the
editor of the Hutchinson County Her
aid, who commenced his newspaper
work on the Dakota Republican, 1T
Nermillion, In August, 1867.
The Peake family, Swiss bell ringers,
arrived In Nermillion by stage, and
William Peake, manager of the bell
ringers, said to party of friends, Il
would like to see one of your Billiards
l have heard so much about" Mr.. True
answered: "All right. We will order
one for your special benefit and have
1t here when you come back through
here from Yankton."
After showing three nights In Yanl
ton the troupe started homeward to
Sioux City, Mr. Peake being ON the
outside of the stage with the driver.
The morning was warm and balmy.
Mr. Peake was astonished ut the ac-
lions of the driver, who suddenly whip
ped up, and asked what the matter
was T. c. Williams, who was driy-
Ing, answered that he was afraid Mr..
True's order was going to be II little
ahead of time. Look to the north
west" said he. There was the blizzard
approaching in all its fury. Ia almost
a minute the binding snow was being
whirled through the air, and Mr.
Peake withdrew to the inner part of
the stage. 1t was one of the most ter
rifle storms known to the territory
which is saying considerable. The
Peake troupe was compelled to wait
several days at Vermillion until Mr.
Trues blizzard had blown itself out

ply TO Drink at VIII.
1t Is very plain fact that 1t Is
always best to furnish a horse
with an unlimited supply of water
which lie can take ut will. An animal
under these conditions will not take
too much, but when we take into CON
sidcration how few stables are so fit
ted as TO allow this being carried out,
ii is in most eases ont OF the question
the more so as horses are ont on long
journeys or employed in work, coming
To the stable hungry. thirsty ana tired.
ScNenty=ilve per cent. of the animal
body Is composed of water, and 1t is
essential to the bodily health thai this
proportion of fluid and solid constitu-
ents be maintained. The secretion and
fluid cXcrctions are constantly tending
to reduce the fluid parts below the nor
NAL, says the breeders Gazette. and at
no time is this more apparent than af

and respiration.
1t is mt this time that popular opinion

To take what water he requires Mt that

PROPAGATlNG FISH.
Methods That Are Employed in This
Very Delicate Work.


There are two methods which are
employed by fish culturists to pro
pagate food and game fish. one is to
catch the young fish, the fry, and
transport them to other waters where
1t Is desired to Introduce them. The
other Is TO strip the female fish Of her
eggs and to impregnate them ARTIFICIAL
ly.
All the attempts that have been
made to propagate black bass by strip
ping the female of their eggs have
been failures so far and the only
method that can be applied TO them is
TO catch the fry and nurse them till
they are strong enough to be liberated.
Other fish, notably the shad and the
salmon, are readily stripped, and the
results are wonderful, as the percent
age OF eggs that fail TO hatch Is exceed
ingly small
Wereselther fry or eggs left to nature
only an excessively small proportion
would grow into adult nshood. Apart
from those which would die naturally
u tremendous quantity would fall prey
To the host of enemles--insects, erus-
tacca, fish birds and mammals that
is waiting for the spawn, or the tiny
fish.
Any one who has handled fish fresh
ly caught knows how delicate they ap-
pear to be and how quickly they die
after leaving the water Yet the cX-
pcrts In the service Of the various State
and of the United States fish commits.
sibns handle millions of the most sen
sitiye food and game fish every year,
and few of them die from the process.
The pictures here presented show the
nI hun1linR fannie salmon
that Is heavy with spawn. First the
fish are led TO swim into Il confined
space where they can he reached with
the landing net. The manipulation of
this dip net alone requires no mean
skill. 1t must not hrnisc the founder
ing fish and must lift the creature in
such a way that ii does not Scrapr the
scales from Its sides as 1t struggles.
Wherever Il scale Is torn from II fish,
particularly in fresh water fungus is
almost certain 10 FORM and that Is
generally fntal
After the fish Is in the net the latter
is lifted carefully and the operators
hand slides downward, gently but
firmly, till it grasps the body imme-
diatcly above the tail. Then he draws
the fish from the net and holds it head
downward. Tint serves to show nj
once whether the fish Is "rlpc"-that
is, whether the eggs have reached that
stage of development which permits
of stripping. II the fish Is perfectly
ripe the eggs sink toward the head II
the fish Is found satisfactory the opcr-
ator places pan between his legs and
holds the fish firmly in his arm. With
the right hand he encIrcles the salmon
Just back of the Eills, and. squeezing
the fish gently, slides the hand down
