lief of Poor.
Washington has responded literally and
we'll to the appeals of the poor. At a con-
ference of the officials of the Associated
Charities and the Citizens Relief Associa-
ton, held last night. an address was issued
in which it was stated sufficient funds were
in hand to care for the needy. and no more
contributions would be solicited for the
present The address was signed by Messrs.
c. c. Cole, Beriah Wilkins and James E.
Fitch, representing the Citizens Relief As
ISOLATION, and by B. L. Whitman. John Joy
Edison and Archibald Hopkins, for the As
sociated Charities and reads as follows:
THE Citizens Relief Association and the
Associated Charities wish to thank the
citizens of Washington fof their prompt
and generous response to the appeals made
IN behalf OF the poor and for emergency
relief
'In discharging, on behalf of the COM
munity, the duty of finding and rendering
prompt and adequate relief to those among
us who are out of employment. suffering
and worthy, and in avoiding, so far as pos
sible, the unworthy, the impostor and the
indiscrimnate distribution of charity, thus
carrying out intelligently and fully true
charity, and preventing the increase and
creation of vicious Dauperism, we, for the
Citizens Relief Association and the AsSo-
ciated Charities, are able to state that, so
far this winter, reasonable success and pro-
gress have been attained.
mo more giving should be asked for than
is actually required for emergency relief,
thoroughly and judiciously administered.
I'VE deem it proper and safe at this time
to announce that sufficient funds have been
contributed and are now on hand to meet
all demands that are likely to occur this
year. Should, however, extraordinary and
pressing conditions again arise and it is
found necessary another appeal to the pub
lie will be made

BIG FISHES COME ASHORE.
Monsters from Ten to Twenty Feef
Long stranded I'm the Gulf
of Mexico.

Mrs. George o. Barnes, who lives on
Sanibel island, in the Gulf Of Mexico,
has written letter to her youthfuis
knsman, Master John Boyle, Of Dam
Vile, in which she relates most inter-
esting and at the same time most ex--
traordinary fish story. This story, un--
like many yarns told by gentlemen who'
90 a-fishing. can be relied upon.
One morning as Mrs. Barnes was upon
the beach she and two others saw n
great commotion in the water. Huge
black objects were splashing about and
spray was rising up before them. The
party soon reached the scene and stood
in wonder at what was before them.
They saw a great shoal of monster
fish lying four and five abreast in the
shallow water, helplessly lashing the
surf with their immense tails, unable to
move and slowly dying, although the
water of the gulf still washed over them
VAS calm-there had not been storm
or even a gale-and there was no way
OF accounting for the trap these poor
fishes were in. except that they had gone
ilto the channel when the wafer was
deep. and swimming in a body, were
caught in shoal water, from which they
could not extricate themselves.
The fish were counted, and there were
between so and 60 of them. They were
from 10 to % feet in length ani weighed
from 900 10 :. 900 pounds each. A num-
Der of them were estimated as weighing
ton each. Si:, mules could net drag
some of them away.
What to do with them, says Mrs.
Barnes, was serious question. They
we're dying, and if left upon the beach
would have driven the people nearby
from their homes. "Twenty-three OF
the monsters lay side by side, looking
like huge siege guns, black and terri
ble."
The men folks, after sitting upon the
case, decided to cut the fish into pieces
and cart and drag them to point where
the decaying flesh would not be often
sive to the smell or poisonous to its sur
roundings. Sunday intervened, how
ever, before this great task was COM
plete, and on the Sabbath the air was
SO rank with the dreadful odor that the
Rarnses could not go out of doors.
The queer visitors were of the family
known as blackfish, species of the
whale that is found in tropicai waters

One of the most remarkable shots on
record has been made by l2-year-old
boy of San Bernardino, who shot ani
instantly killed good-sized deer with
a 22-caliber rife. The record is likely
to stand some time before being broken.
And ii wasn't mere chance shot,
either. The young man, whose name is
Lee Thomas, was camped with his pa
rents at Strawberry peak, one of the
picturesque points of the San Ber-
nardino mountains. With some boy
friends the youthful nimrod went out
for a ramble. He took his repeating
rifle along. Just for fun" While pro-
ceeding down gully the boys heard
some animals cracking the brush be-
low, and standing still to await develop
ments, three deer burst into view.
Quick as flash, with the instinct of a
huntsman, Thomas brought the gun
TO his shoulder and pumped five bull
let's at the monarchs of the glen before
they located the sound. But the last
bullet proved effective, hitting a deer
in about the only vulnerable spot for
SO small a charge-the eye. The young
man will always treasure the trophies

vINDICATIoN OF SUGAR.
Athletes in Europe Are beginning to
Recognize Its Value as NOur-
ishment.

A German scientist, who prefers to be
anonymous, publishes in the Allge-
meine Zeitung an enthusiastic glorifi-
cation of sugar. He says that sugar is
not only most welcome to the palate,
but that on account of its power TO nour-
ish, it is almost the most valuable thing
which one can eat. There is scarcely
any other equally important feeder Of
muscle power. The laborer can do moth
ing better than keep few Jumps Of
sugar in his pocket. The negroes in
sugar plantations renew and quicken
their weary bodies by sucking the
sugar cane. Sugar is fine restorative
for soldiers. A Dutch army surgeon
asserts that during an expedition in
Sumatra he found that the best means
to maintain the soldiers in vigor and
freshness, not only during the march,.
but during the fight, was generous
allowance of sugar. Each man was.
served with a handful at time. The
Swiss chamois hunters bear similar tes-
timony to its marvellous powers of sus-
tenance, and of recuperation Of the ia
tigue.
The German writer gives an account
of successful experiments made with
sugar as food for athletes by several
of the Dutch rowing clubs, by pedes-
trians, by cyclists and others whose
bodily powers need "a rapid. portable
and innocent stimulant." Sugar is COM
ing more and more into use in Holland
in tho course of training" for contests,
and it is as good for beasts Us il is for
men. The poor hardly realize as yet,
or only realize unconsciously, what
treasure they possess in cheap sugar
Its value in fever has been emphasized
by Hupeland and others. That which
is supposed to injure the teeth in the
consumption of candy is not the sugar
but the so-called fruit acids," which
are introduced to flavor the sugar Ne
groes who devour sugar in immense
quantities have the best teeth in the
world.-N Y, Sun.

GREEN BONES AS FOOD.
tion They Are Really with
out n Rival.

The value of bone cutter exceeds its
cost If the cutter is used only one sea-
son, but as they are almost indestruct-
ible they will last for years. Fresh
green bone is almost of itself COM
plete food, and may be used as special
material for egg production. While the
proportion of moisture in bone varies,
il is in but small amount in bone COM
pared with some other foods. The
moisture in bone may be set down at
about S3 per cent, or little over one
third. Bone contains about % pounds
of mineral matter in 100 pounds, 20
pounds Of fat and 20 pounds of albu-
minoids. The mineral matter Tor ash)
contains about 81 pounds of phosphate
of lime in 100 pounds, 11h pounds of
carbonate of lime and a small proper
tion of earthly matter. Now. anyone
can easily notice that bone is one of
the best foods for producing eggs, as
the fat assists in forming the yolk of
the egg and also in sustaining the fowl
in winter when the weather is cold.
The albuminoids provide the albumen
for the eggs, and the carbonate of lime
forms the shells, while the phosphate
OF lime is an ingredient OF the eggs and
is also just the thing to feed to growing
chicks TO make them grow. Then there
is more or less adhering meat to green
bone which is largely nutritious and
kla ,1r11,,o4,ar nf
eggs. There is no necessity for feeding
oyster shells to provide lime for the
eggshells, as the bone contains car
Donate OF lime in sufficient proportion
for that purpose. Bone is digestible
and is food, yet it also serves as grit;
but in that respect no claims are made
for it compared with hard, sharp grit.
DO not confound green cut bone with
ground bone or bone meal. The one is
dry and hard. the other is juicy and
succulent. Another point is that bone
cutter is not bone mill. The bone
cutter does not grind, but cuts (as fine
as may be wished) both dry and green
bones. but bone mill VIII only grind
dry bones, as green bones are not suf-
ficiently brittle to be ground. The way
TO feed green bone is TO give it in the
morning, about pound TO dozen
hens (some give an ounce to each hen,
or a pound to l6 fowls), then give no
other food until uight, but let the hens
scratch and work. Two or three times
week half the quantity of bone may
be used, giving also cut clover, ground
foods, etc, but always give full meal
of whole grain at night. as too much
soft food is not conducive TO thrift

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
he Located-An Expedition
Now Under Way.


The distinguished explorer, Maj.
Seton Karr, is touring SomaIiland, in
his search for the precise position OF the
Garden of Eden. Henry NJ. Stanley's
view of the matter, as set forth in his
wonderful account of his explorations,
has long since led many archaeologists
to transfer their allegiance from the
iong-acccpted site in Asia TO the valley
of the Shari. W. Marsham Adams, the
distinguished authority on paleogra-
ply, disagrees with Maj. Karr in plac-
ing the site of the garden in the valley
itself, but agrees as to the vicinity,
maintaining that the Immediately ad-
joining plateau of Central Africa was
the cradle of the human race.
Ii has been proved beyond all doubt
that the territory of Eden was not dis
trict through which four rivers had
their full course, but was essentially a
watershed, containing single river
and four "heads." This description
exactly corresponds with the great
basin of Central Africa, which contains
the single river, the Shari, and the
heads of four rivers, the Zambesi, the
Niger, the Nile and the Congo. And in
the eastern part of this plateau, cover
ing 5000 square miles OF the most glori-
ously beautiful land in the world, is
paradise full of all kinds of animal life.
Stanley describes it as being likely,
from certain rocky eminences which lie
to the eastward of the basin of the
Shari The location almost exactly CO.
incides with the description evolved
from the later readings.
In the ceaseless war between the ad-
herents OF Scripture and the adherents
Of science any discovery which may
throw a new light on the truth or
fa,sity of the Pertateuch is eagerly Pc
rused. According TO the Scriptural ac-
count our first parents went forth from
Eden toward the east This would just
correspond with the most natural
course, leaving the valley of the Shari,
which would be to follow the course of
the Bahr-el- Ghazal which trends slight
" TO the eastward before turning
toward the north. From here, as the
human family continued TO multiply.
the migrations would gradually reach
u1 TO the parts about Somaliland. This
is now generally acknowledged by the
Egyptologists TO conclude with the land
of Poont, the sacred land TO which the
people of the Ptolemys ever looked
back as the land of their origin.
Still further down the Nile we come
to the island of Meroes, where Moses,
according TO Josephus, when com
manding general, in behalf of his mas
ter of Egypt, gained an Overwhelming
victory over the inhabitants of the Sou
dan, and where the famous French eX
plorer, Cailland, discovered the ruins
of Assur.
Each of these points would lead to
the confirmation of the Scriptures. a
most important point to either the
Christian or the historiographer Ii is
also a pleasing reflection to consider
that the armies of the modern Egypt

struggled and won, now hold, perhaps
finally, the territories over which

teuch, strove and conquered. d.-Cincn-
