Food That Costs Nothing.

During the warmer season, when

meat daily. When the supply of
grasshoppers, bugs, flies and worms
fails, it may be furnished from the
table, the scrap pot or the market

bage, vegetable, apples or cut
clover. A warm breakfast should be
given on cold days and there should
be no lack in the supply of drink. A
meat diet with grain and vegetables
is essential to the we'll being of fowls
during the cold weather, when
worms, and insects are not to be
found by the birds, but in summer
the fowls can secure such foods for
themselves.-American Gardening

Second Crop of Potatoes.

In selecting seed for growing sec
ond crop of potatoes, go over the
early patch and dig the hills the
vines of which are the ripest. Reject
poor hills and such as are spurious
or not true to name. Reserve for
seed only the medium and large tn
bers Of the best hills. Spread these
out thin on a cool cellar floor and
admit as much light as possible.
The next best place to keep them is
the shade of a tree or building un-
der light layer of straw or earth.

nest as anything which can be de-
vised. Shovel out a small cavitv for
the barrel to rest in and use the
loose earth for forming a small en-
bankment around it, for carrying off
the surface water. Fill the barrel
to a third of its depth with earth,
and shape the nest in the center.
With a wide board to cover the
opening at night, securely held in
place by stakes, the hen is most COM
fortably fixed for attending to her
duties.-Western Piowman.

The Importance ofNariety.

When the flock has received no
grain but corn the hens soon begin
to refuse it. This may be particu-
larly noticed if small quantity of
oats or wheat be thrown before
them. They will at once eagerly
seize the grains of oats and wheat.
leaving the corn untouched. This
indicates that the hens require
something else than that which they
derive from the corn, such as the
phosphates or nitrogen. After feed
ing oats or wheat awhile the hens
will leave those grains and eat large
ly of corn. The proper method, then,
is to keep a variety, using corn as a
portion of the ration in winter, but
emitting ii in the summer. Among
the grains we may mention wheat,
corn, oats. barley and buckwheat,
the best results being obtained when
they are changed from one to the
other occasionally.-Farm aud Fire

no further communication has been had

of definite information conjecture cou-

cality during the past few days, being
the vessel reported by the steamer
Mystery as flashing red lights off Car
manah Point during Thursday night,
darkness preventing the discovery of
her name, by a h0meward bound Vic
toria steamer which already had a
tow.
Apparently the same vessel was seen
a few hours afterward by DodWell
& Co.'S steamer, City Of Dublin, whose
master, upon his arrival. said that the
American three-mast schooner WaWo-
ma, from San Francisco for Puget
sound, had been seen close to the Cape
and had signaled a wish to be re-
ported. 1t is possible that the signal
was misunderstood, for in brief wire
talk with Carmanah Point yesterday
the operator at Otter Point picked out
in fragments the information that the
captain Of the vessel was In difficulty
at that point and had asked assistance,
but had been passed by an Oriental
liner.
This would seem to indicate that it
is the Wawona that has come to grief,
but the circumstances of the case can
only be ascertained definitely when
some vessel arrives from the Cape or

INDIAN TRIBES
ARE DOOMED
The Commissioner Looks for an Extin
guishment OF this System in the
Next Twenty-Five Years.

Washington, Nov. 19-The annual re-
port OF the commissioner Of Indian af
fairs, William A. Jones, besides re-
viewing the progress OF affairs in all
branches of the service, urges more
schools, systematic methods, study
OF individual traits and consideration
OF subsequent environment In outlining
studies In the Indian schools. The en-
tire educational system Of the Indian
office, he says, is predicated on the
final adjustment of the anomalous
Indian reservation system. There are
now 20,255 boys and girls in attendance
on the various Indian schools out of
an enrolment OF over %, 600.
The Indian population has remained
stationary and there has been such
steady increase of Indians being edu-
Gated as to warrant the opinion that
the next quarter century win witness,
not dirninution of the Indian popula-
ton, but an extinguishment of Indian
tribes. One discouraging factor, how
ever, Is disclosed by the unsatisfactory
results OF the past nine years trial of
coeducation of the Indians with the
whites in the public schools. The re-
port says the results of this coeduca-
ton are not commensurate with the ex-
penditure. Strong measures for forcing
the attendance on Indians schools are
urged. There are 1862 employees in the
Indian service and the policy is to en-
ploy Indians In every position to which
they are adapted by nature and edu-
cation.
The removal Of the Perry school in
Southern California and rebuilding it
in a more suitable locality will be rec
commended to congress. Concerning
the Indian Territory, the report severe
ly arraigns nepotism, lack Of manage
ment, demoralized conditions and a de-
plorable state of affairs generally in
administering the schools and orphan
asylums of the five Indian nations.
Reporting on the Chippewa outbreak
of last autumn, Commissioner Jones
says:
"For many years the Chippewas have
been arrested and taken from their
homes to st. Paul and other places as
witnesses or offenders. chiefly in wins
key cases; often wholesale arrests
have been made solely for the fees
! which would accrue to the officials. In
| dams have been helped to obtain whis-
| key by the very ones who arrested

But neither does this by itself ax

frauds in the disposition of their tim

BasseneerS I'm a Panic.

Cuxhaven, Nov. 19,--Captain Frolich
Of the Pateria in the course of an in
terview to-day made the following
statement to a reporter of the Assoc
ciated press:
Il knew nothing of the fire until the
Pateria was OF Folkestone, where I
promptly brought the ship up. There
otherwise they could have saved theic
personal belongings. The fire. how
ever. had such a strong hold of the fore
hatch as to prevent us reaching the
heaviest baggage. The vessel is now
only a shell and there is little hope of
realizing much.
THE fire was discovered at IL o'clock
Wednesday morning. The passengers
We're warned and came rushing up.
Shortly afterwards smoke and flames
began to belch from the saloon state
rooms and the promenade deck. Then
/ ordered the boats out. The men
worked splendidly and in a quarter Of
an hour all the passengers were In the
boats.
THE crew elected to remain with me,
although they had an offer to go aboard
al the pumps until 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, when the fire had gained so
much Roadway that it was dangerous
to remain longer / then ordered the
crew to take to the boats. An hour or
two later we sighted the Athesia, wnicn
picked us up. After the Athesia aban-
doned the Pateria we met the Hansara
l boarded her and we returned to find
the Pateria off the Goodwins We
saved six Frenchmen who had been on
the burning steamer and who were in
a precarious condition. The fire orig
mated in the overheating of linseed

A TOTAL WRECK.
The Hamburg Liner Pateria Is on the
kentish Coast.

London, Nov. 19.-The Hamburg
American liner Paterfa, Captain Fro
Itch, which caught fire in the English
channel last Wednesday while on her
way from New York for Hamburg and
was finally abandoned on Thursday
noon when all attempts to tow her to
some port had failed, now lies on the
Kentish coast. She is still on fire for
ward, but there is no smoke abaft the
bridge. AT low water she will be part
ly dry -.
Apparently the fire has completely
Quilted her and rendered her total
wreck. The surveyors could not ge.
on board to-day, but they will do SO as
soon as possible in order to ascertain
what the prospects are of any salvage.
Arrangements are being made to light
en- the vessel. The partial submersion
has diminished the fire. which 1t is
thought will be extinguished.
The Pateria had an adventurous time
after she was abandoned. The Ostend
fishing boats, which first took her in
tow called, after few hours. for the
assistance of the steamer. Then the
Hamburg tug Hansara, with Captaia
F'rnlich on board, appeared and assist
ed the towing. After the Fateria was
run ashore the Hansara returned to
Cuxhayen.

A SHOWER OF METEORs.
1t Caused a Great Panic Among the
Negroes in Alabama.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. ia
strange phenomenon, supposed to be a
part of the meteoric disturbances sched-
uled by the astronomers, was observed
here tonight between Q o'clock and
midnight. The fiery messengers made
their appearance directly overhead and
attracted much attention and no lit
tie fear among the negroes. AS many
as 10 meteors We're seen, all of them
in the nehulous form resembling COM
cts. They first appeared as patches of
light and at times would glow a fiery
red and then fade away, repeating the
operation a number of times before
they finally disappeared. During the
lurid period the central body would be
easily seen, the light radiating
throughout the entire mass, which ap-
peared to be about three feet long and
six inches wide. 1t was also observed
While the glow was on that these
bodies appeared to be moving, the ag-
itation being easily distinguished with

in the capacity of our ship yards and
in our tonnage in foreign trade will
show ability on our part to compete
on more nearly even terms with for
eign nations. The pro rata reduction
in compensation provided for when the
maximum expenditure of s9,o0o,oeo is
reached will thus coincide with the
lessened need Of government assist
ance.
During the decade ending with 1898
our ship yards produced only 32l,
gross tons Of ocean steamships, while
in the same period Germany'S yards
turned out $4,000 gross tons and Brit
ish yards 9,6SO,000 gross tons. The diff
ference in the cost of construction ana
operation of American and British YES
sells is considered in some detail. 1t Is
also pointed out that of the 362 steam
ships of II knots or over now IN ex-
istence in the world, over 80 per cent.
are receiving in one form or other as
istance from the governments to
which they belong, aggregating up
ward of $2D.0o0,00o This is deemed in
justification for the proposition In the
bill to give a distinct allowance to
American steamships of IA knots or
upward.
The report also recommends mod
crate increases in our tonnage
taxes, equalizing them with those inn
favors the passage of the bills apply
ing the laws Of the United States re-
lating to commerce, navigation and
merchant seamen to Hawaii and Porto
Rico, thus bringing these islands un-
der the coasting laws of the United
States. 1T is recommended that YES
sells owned by Cubans be placed by law
on an equality with vessels belonging
to the most favored nation. Under
an existing statute it has been nee
essary to impose a tonnage tax of 81
per gross comparatively prohibitory
upon such vessels, and this injustice
both to ourselves and Cubans can be
remedied only by legislation. Under
the so-called White bill for the pro-
lection. of seamen, American sailors
now enjoy larger degree of personal
liberty than ever before, and much
more than the seamen Of any other
nation, that law radically changing
the nature of the seamen's agreement.
Reports from shipping commissioners
showing that the allotment sections
have been of decided benefit to sea-
men and the efforts TO break down
these sections during the spring and
early summer have failed and the law
is in the main successfully enforced.
