ARTIFICIAL PEARLS FROM
ALEWIVES.

The Rochester PoSt-ExpreSs pub
lished an editorial recently quot
ing, from recent report, made
by the Hon. John c., Covert
United States Consul ut Lyons,
France, that u. Leuret, of France, a
manufactures of artificial pearls from
fish scales, would be pleased to go to
the United States aud establish a fac
tory on Lake Ontario. or the st.
Lawrence River.
With view of bringing about the
establishment of such manufactory
the Chamber Of Commerce of New
York secured from Chester X Greene.
of the United States Fish Commits
sion, who is stopping at Windsor
Beach, samples Of scales taken from
several live alvwNes clnght off Wind
sor Beach, anG these have been for,
warded to Consul Covert, at Lyons.
Millions of alewives may easily
be captured in nets off Windsor Beach
and it is figured by Mr.. Greene that
three branches of trade-the manu-
facture of pearls, the preparation of
fertilizer and also of fish meal
could easily be established.

A STRANGE BUSINESS.
Nevada Woman Shoots Wild Horse,
TO Sell Their Hides.
Sunnybank, Va.

Nevada Woman Shoots Wild Horses
TO Sell Their Hides.
Mrs. Maud Whiteman, OF Hum
boldt, New, has stranger occupa-
ton than that Of any other woman
in the United States. She shoots
wild horses for their skins and earns
about So day at it. Wild horses
have so increased in numbers in
many Western States that they are
ruthlessly killed for their hides, or
they would drive cattle off the ran
ges and monopolize the best grazing.
Mrs. Whitemau goes hunting al
ways with her father, Henry VIII
man, veteran of the Mexican and
civil wars, who lost his ranch in Cal
ifornia about six years ago by finan-
cial misfortune and removed to Ne
vada.
Father and daughter ride well and
shoot we'll. 1t is their custom to
hitch their own horses us decoys and
hide in the timber.
When wild horses come up, one of
them carefully shoots the leader of
the herd, so as to disable HIM, but
not kill him. The others scamper
away, but curiosity soon impels them
to return. Then father and daugh-
ter open with their guns and shoot as
many as possible before the herd
gets out of range. The skins are
taken off and dried on sage bushes
and then sold for about So each.
When hunting Mrs. Whiteman
wears masculine garb, but when she
comes into town she wears a black
silk dress and a very feminine
plumed Leghorn hat Chicago

The First District of Virgin;
probably bears distinction tina
none other in the State does-that O
having three West Pointers who ar,
captains ill the U. S. Army. Ii
order of seniority they are: Capt
j. Z. Gresham, of Lancaster; Capt
h. Z. Croxton, of Tappahannock
and Capt. Willard d. Newbill, OF
Iryington. The former is stationed
IN this country and Capts. Croxtou
and Newblll have been in. the Phil,
lppine service during the past year.
Captain Newbill is youngest OF
two sons of DIR. w. y. Newbill, U,
>. marine physician in Lancaster
county, and is but % years of age.
lie won the West Point appointment
10y competitive examination. Grad
uatlng four years ago the Spanish
American war has favored him, as
it has done other army officers, and
his promotion has been rapid. He
served in Porto Rico during that war,
and last year was sent to the Philip
pines as captain of Company D..34th
Regiment, U. S. ", being appointed
Adjutant of the regiment.
lie has seen very active service
since being there, and was with Cen
eral Lawton when that commander
was killed. Ills later service con-
sisted in commanding one Of the
various scouting parties which were
IN pursuit of Aguinaldo into his
mountain fastnesSes. At present he
is military judge of the province of
which Baler, an important town on
the east coast of Luzon, several
hundred miles northeast OF Manila,
is the capital. Lately he received
orders to report to Manila, making
the long journey by caraibo- (ox)
cart, and is now on his return to
Baler. The caraibo is strange
animal and queer stories are told of
has disposition.
1t was at Baler that Lieutenant
Gilmore fought his desperate battle
and was taken prisoner by the natives

THE HOCKANUM HEN.
Published by request. ]

Published by request.l
We have heard of Maud on a summer day
Who raked barefooted the new mown
hay,
We have read of the maid in the early
morn,
Who MIXED the COW with the crumpled
horn,
And we've read the lays that the poets
sing
OF the rus,ling corn and the flowers of
spring;
There's nsught ike the lay of the Hook
anun hen.
long before Maud rakes her hay,
The H0ck8uum hen has begun TO lay,
Aud ere the milk maid s;irs peg,
The hensis up and drops her egg
Tie coiu must rustic, and The flowers
must spring,
Ii they hold there own with the arm
yard ring.
II Maud is needing u bat or gown,
She doesn't hustle the hay To town,
BCt goes To- he store ard obtains her suit
With basket full of her fresh hen fruit
Ii the miikmaid's beau makes n SUNDAY
call.
She doesn't feed him on milk at all,
But works NJ eggs in a cCstaId PIE,
Aud sluifs him fu'i of a chicken fry.
Aud when the old man wants horn,
Does he take to Hartford a load of corn?
Not mucbi lie simply robs nest,
And To town he goes-you know the rest;
tie bangs around with cliQues aud rings,
And talks OF politics and things.
While his poor wife stays at home and
scowls,
But is saved from want by those selfsame
fowls,
For, " hile ner husband fingers there,

planned why a Republican like L. l..
Lindsey, of Lincoln, received such
distinguished honors as were accor-
ded him.
1t was upon the special order of

st. Louis to attend the Republican
National Convention as representa-

He found considerable difficulty in
securing a ticket Of admission.

the delegates and, meeting Mr.. Bryan
furnished him with ticket.
This year Mr.. Bryan paid his
debt.
