A French poultry expert, in an article
OH means of fastening of laying, recalls
an old, simple and easy way, the efficacy
of which, he claims, is not questioned
among French poultrymen, of making
hens lay in winter. 1t is simply giving
the fowls grain that has been lined, the
same as grain prepared for sowing. With
out showing special fOndness for such
grain the fowls eat it perfectly. This diet.
he affirms, is harmless, provided it is not
continued too long. Wheat is generally
used for that purpose. However, ali
grains-barley, oats and cOrn-can be
treated in this way. For the benefit of
readers who may not be informed in pre-
pairing grain for sowing, the modus Oper-
andi is given:
Take u quart of unslaked lime and
slake it in about ten or twelve quarts of
warm water. Heap up the grain that is
to be lined in a cOnical shape and pour
OH the center of it the whitewash, previ-
ously stirred and thoroughly mixed with
stick. Then take wooden shovel and
stir the heap until all the grain has been
soaked sufficiently. Before feeding let it
he spread out and dried. This mode of
preparation has the additional advantage
Of freeing the grain from certain parasites
or germs which might affect the health OF
tho fowls.
The above IS easily tried, and will cos
only the labor of preparing the grain and
the very small amout of lime used.
French pOultrymen are entitled to con-
siderable respect, as i'm France the poul-
try business is successful.

FIRE IN THE HOLD.
Schooner w. ID. Twins Marrow Escape at
Roche Harbor.

| Roche Harbor.
The schooner William g. Irwin
loading lime at Roche Harbor for Sar
Francisco, caught fire, or rather tn.
cargo did, in some unknown manner
last week Wednesday night and ere
ated quite scare. The fire was dis
covered about o'clock Thursday morn
ing and when the matches were opened
although no fire could be seen In the
darkness of the hold, the strong lime
smoke rolled upwards in such volumes
as to threaten suffocation to anyone
exposed to it more than q few seconds.
The matches were closed and calked
and ventilators covered 40 that no air
could get into the hold, and when the
matches were again opened, Friday af.
ternOOn, the fire was all out and very
little damage done.
No doubt is expressed at Roche Har-
Dor that the fire was of incendiary ORR
gin. Early in the week one of the crew
was knocked down by brutal second
mate and the sailor and three of his
companions left the vessel just short
time before the fire was discovered, di-
rectly under the cooks galley. This
was little before O'Clock and the men
were known to have been in their
hunks at IL. The fire was on top of
the lime barrels which were piled close
up under the deck, beneath the ventil-
atOr, where there was sack of coal.
The probability is that the miscreant
who set the fire ignited bunch of old
rags or waste aud dropped it down the
The schooner carries a deck load of
coal (1S6 tOns) i'm sacks; $500 barrels of
lime, and seventy tons of Cape Nome

THE ART OF ENTERTAINING.

A Few Points for the Guidance Of Hosts
and Guests.
The house itself may be helpful in
making visitors feel at home. We should
have nothing too fine for comfort, and
welcome our friends in rooms made
homelike by our daily use.
1t is well to have easy rules about
breakfast. 1t is customary to give ones
guests the option Of having tea or coffee,
rolls and fruit sent to their rooms, or of
joining the family.
No hostess apologies for any guest.
All are on the same social plane while
under her root, and should receive equal
consideration.
It is disputed point whether host or
guest should suggest retiring for the
night. 1t relieves visitors of embarrass-
ment to know the ways of the household.
and readiness to comply with them is y
mark of politeness.
1t shows no lack Of cordially to refrain
| from urging friends to extend their visit.
They probably have other pleasant plans,
and hostess may be asking great favor
when she fancies that she is comforting
one.
Experienced entertainers recommend
| that the men should generally spend their
mornings tOgotner anu women cHyoy oaASu
others society. All meet at luncheon.
Hosts and guests meet in the drawing
| or living room before the meals. Not less
than five, nor more than fifteen. minutes
should be allowed for all to assemble.
Every guest should be made TO feel that
his or her presence has added TO the
Measure of the entertainment, and con-
ferred personal qualification upon the
| hosts.
A prompt expression of qualification In
remembering the visit, at once, upon re,
turning home, is an evidence OF good

Sockeye Run Over-Canneries Make Poor
The sockeye run has come to an end,
and great many of the fishermen are
putting their nets into winter quarters.
AT meeting held by the Gamers at
their Vancouver offices August %, it
vas agreed by all the Gamers present
that, considering the number of can
neries Ill operation, this year is the
worst on record, each cannery getting
less fish than in any other season in
the history of the industry in the prov
ince. The pack for the present season
will be 125, 900 cases. In 1883 and 1892
the packs were very small, that of 1892
being IS 900 and that of 1888 about the
same. But i'm 1888 there were only q
few canneries scattered along the river,

The Whatcom county commissioners
have reduced the entire valuation of the

that the valuations in general were about

alton Of corresponding property in neigh
boring counties.
The war department is going ahead to
construct the ditch at Seattle, connecting
Lakes Union and Washington. The land
has been acquired, and an appropriation
of $4,000 is still available to cary ON the

congress will see efforts made to secure
additional money in order to carry out
the project.

GAGE.

The administration organs tell the
country that there is nothing the mat
ter with Secretary Gage. THAI he $
honest, discreet and so on. But his rec
ord is not lovely and sweet. When he
entereI the office of secretary Of state
there were but $500, 900 of government
deposits in the New York National city
bank. That was the 4th Of March, 1891.
On the 18th Of December of the s3rre
rear the deposits had risen TO 500. 0S3.-
652. On the same ear in October. the
New York World say the National
City bank was designated by Secretary
Of the Treasury to distribute the Union
Pacific fund, amounting to $5S, AS. 223.
But the proof against Gage is really
damaging. but Mckinley and party ara
delighted at his management. Rope

W want to subpoena tbs directors
of the National City bank and fini u
from them just what aid they rendered

tional campaign, and just what ia
