No. she said, for she was strong

defined views on the temperance ques-
ton. "Mnny n young man has been
ruined because Of his inability to say
NO."
"And every woman," he returned,
"should learn to say yes. Many n

been brought to that condition of mind
where he is dlsinclined to say NO
owing to the Discrimination of some

That cod eat young Holsters is
fact established to the satisfaction of
q writer in an exchange. He says:
''The Goldfish are feeding on the young
Holsters to such an extent that it will
not take long to exterminnte them.
Through the efforts of the United
States fish commission Goldfish seem
to haN e increased greatly in numbers.
The fishermen around Block Island
and Watch Hill say that cod are grow
ing more plentiful every year, and
they say further that when Messing
Goldfish they frequently find young
Holsters whole inside of the larger
fish. Evidently young Holsters are
becoming delicate morsel for some
of their companions of the sea. There
is problem for the shellfsh commits
sioners to solve in the artificial propa-
CATION of the lobster. Cid fishermen
about Watch Hill and the vicinity tell
me that when they haul their lobster
pots now they get fifteen and twenty
pounds, where they used to get one
hundred"
The fishermen have no one to blame
but themselves. When Holsters were
plentiful they would kill the egg bear
ing Holsters as nuisances and bait
destroyers. If they had thrown then
overheard the result might have beer
different. The Fishing Gazette.

Some time ago the government asked
the famous firm of Krulp to send
them some sample field guns, such rs
were supplied to the Boer artillery,
for experiment purposes at Shoebury-
ness, the great school Of guunerv.
The guns were duly sent, and closely
studied mt the new ranges there.
Finally battery of Royal artillery
were put to practice on them, and Il
fitting drill was devised The ob,ect
may lie understood from the fact that
the battery in question is now on its
way to the Tran>va,l. The idea of
Colonel Barron, the head OF the $, ii OF,
was that, when the Boer guns We g
captured, there would be men on the
SPOT who knew how to handle them
and could turn them ON the enemy.

ropean manufacturers are already fur

so great that the American Consul
feels confident that this country can
easily undersell them at profit. 1t
is pointed out, though, that the bed
steads should have the posts carried
up seven feet, in order to provide for
mosquito nets, and that the body of
the bed should be kept at least two
feet above the floor. The European
bed, if double, sells for between 500
