The Idea of Conquest.

And think of the injury to the
principles upon which this republic
is founded-to carry on war of
conquest and to slaughter thousands
in order to make them accept our
rule. In all our history this has
never even been drcamt of. We,
who went into the war with Spain
because we insisted that it should
not govern the Cuhans against their
will, are now doing in the Philip
pines exactly what we denounced
the Spaniards for in Cuba. A big
price we are already paving for the
sudden mania Of imperialism which
has seized on the President. Had
he announced in the Philippines at
the very beginning, as in Cuba, that
the United States purposcd to re-
store order in the islands and leave
them the moment this was done.
there would have been none OF the
difficulties which now face us there.
New Orleans Tiuucs-Democrat

Wlndham County Mining

Windham county, like several
other counties in the state has had in
the last half century periodical en-
element over the discovery of gold
and other metals IN various locali-
ties. Some considerable prospect
ing has been carried on by natives,
who have discovered all kinds of
metals, though their efforts have not
been prosecuted to such an extent as
to prove the presence of ore in pay
ing quantities.
Two Windham county residents
are understood to have in contcm-
plation the formation of Il strong
company for the purpose Of devcl-
oping certain mineral deposits here
abouts and IN which they have quiet

these deposits are located is at pres

There has been much speculation
and some controversy over the ques-
ton of whether maple sap flows up
or down in the tree during the sugar
season. Prof. S. r. Jones, botanist
of the Vermont experiment station,
seems to have settled the dispute.
He injected into Il tree lithium chic
ride, chemical readily detected in
the minutest quantities, its presence
in the sap being determined by the
spectroscope. The results showed
conclusively that in the ordinary
conditions of sap flow there is an
almost equally rapid movement of
the sap current both upwards and
downards in the vicinity of the sap
sprout. These experiments will be
repeated another spring, but the
conclusion seems clear that the sap
moves freely in both directions with
the grain Of the wood, but very
slowly across the grain.

dreds of famili-s live comfortably on

In or. Louis the favorite newsp ,per
with the boys is the POST-DlS-

investigation has Shown that the boys
sell more copies of the daily POS t
DISPATCH than the combined sales
of the two other English evening pa

The New York Show.

The tenth annual exhibition of
the New York Poultry and Pigeon
Association closed on Saturday eV-
ening, Feb. 4, and passes into his
tory as a big success. There has
been an opinion often expressed
that the New York show had reach
ed it's limit and that its decline and
ultimate fall were almost in sight.
But to the visitor at the show Just
held in Madison Square Garden
none of these signs were visible, and
even the old FOUNDERS who have
never missed a show are free to ad-
NIT that not only is New York hold
ing her own but that the show OF

its predecessors.
PrOfiting by the experience gain
ed in past years the managers in
troduced several new features in

From Manila.

The editor Of the American Fan
cier hasreceived a letter from Secy.
Treas. Major Theodore Sternberg
who is now station with the Z. s.
Army at Manila, from which he
quotes some points OF interest to
poultrymen. The Major writes:
II was ten days in the harbor of
Honolulu and was frequently on
shore. OF course | saw every
chicken in sight. AT Honolulu |
saw Minorcas, Polish, Leghorns,
and Light Brahmas evidently i'm
portatious from the United States.
These were sorry looking fowls, ev-
identity degenerated, and the same
can be said of the common domestic
fowl One thing caught my atten-
ton in regard to Light Brahmas,
that is, their close hard feathering.
So far as Honolulu is concerned
chickens are at Il low ebb. / have
so far had little opportunity of
studying the fowls in the Philip
pines, but hope to be able to do so.
We can not go into the interior as
yet. The insurgent lines are all
round Manila close to the city, and
we are not allowed to pass these
lines. Manila is full OF fowls that
seem to flourish. All are Game
fowls, the common fowls being of
that race. They seem to be very
hardy. These common fowls are OF
all colors and the cocks are hand
some fellows, the hens being like
the Pit Game hens of our own cOun-
try in color and shape. | am told
that the natives have splendid
strains of pit fowls, but as yet |
have not been able to get definite
knowledge on the subject, as | do
not speak the language. | shall
have TO wait until | meet some Game
fancier who can talk the lingo be-
fore can find out the best strain.
General Otis, commanding here has
closed the cock-pits, so that open
ing is closed also. Cock fighting
is the national sport. Still, | have
seen natives carrying in their arms
magnificent cocks, end have
caught glimpses through the fence
of noble looking birds picketed out
in some yard. A friend of mine
who expects soon to make an eX-
petition through the interior OF our
government, promises to get me
specimens of the wild and native
Jungle fowls. BY the way, this ma
tive method of pfcketlng cocks
could be adopted often with good
results at the home by our fanclerS
A string is fastened to one leg, a
couple of yards of string is ample,
and a small pin pushed in the
ground holds the bird. BY this
method cocks have a chance to pick
grass and get the air without the
expense of house and yard. A
box or barrel will suffice for shelter
at night.

THE ARMY CAT.
General Merritt Took Three Witt
Him to Manila.

When Maior-General Merritt sail
ed from San Francisco he asked the
government authorities for three
cats to take to Manila. Probably
the trio OF American felines are
now teaching Yankee habits to
misguided fellows of the Islands, for
it was Maior-Geheral Merritt's in
tention to send them ashore when
he landed The cats came from the
commissary depot on Jessie street,
San Francisco, and their progenl-
tor may be seen there any day busy
among the barrels and boxes
or doing lazily in some snug cor
ner. He has grown old and fat in
the service of Uncle Sam, and is
highly esteemed by all who know
of his long years of faithful atten-
ton to duty.
1t is not gcner rally known that the
government spends several thOus-
ands of dollars annually for the
maintenance of cats, but the &C
counts of the United States depot
commissarieS prove IT. In every
storehouse there are from one to
five of the animals, and their ra-
tons are provided as carefully an d
regularly as those of any of the
gallant soldiers.
They are not fed on scrap, nor
are theirinnividual tastes Disregard
ed, as are those of the enlisted men,
but they are allotted >omany pounds
of choice beef or any other delicacy
their palates may desire. Ofcourse
they may have as much game as
they wish, and the ~torehouses sell
dom fail to furnish an unlimited
supply Of rats and mice. That the
cats save many times their cost OF
supports well known, as such sup
plies As crackers. cheese, bacon,
flour and meal are much sought
after by the rodents.
All men-of-war Carry cats. Their
usefulness is never more apparent
than on shipbOad. The writer
was crossing from Antwerp to New
York on the steamship Southwark
when he was awake ned by the
sudden stopping of the ship, an oc
currence winch, happening in mid
ocean, generally means something
serious. The passengers rushed OF
deck, half clad. and were disguised
to learn that rat having crawleC
into the cylinder had caused TIL
halt. Such an accident Oh a man
of-war in the time of action nigh
be fearfully paid for, and an active
cat is the only preventive.
THE COlonel' has Il host o.
admirers, and IN his many
years in the army he has
become the pet of many officers and
clerks and the progenitor of many
other cats, whose rafting qualities
have won them distinction. Sar
