Stones do not form part of the rec
ognized diet of the cormorant, but one
of these birds in the National Zoolog-
zeal park in Washington had a craving
which could be satisfied only by eat
ing two pounds of stones. The keep
er's attention was attracted to the bird
because after having once sat down
1t couldn't get up. He was picked up,
and then the stones We're heard rafting
inside of him. An official connected
with the park decided that something
must be done, and he promptly cut the
cormorant open and relieved him of his
burden. one of the stones, of irregular
shape, was 3la inches long. The in
cision was sewed up, and for five days
the bird got along all right, the wound
healing finely, but at the end of that
time the cormorant grew FESTIVE and
pulled out the stitches with his hooked
bill. AS a consequence of opening up
the wound he died.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal.


A firmer tone has been developed in the
ence OF the scorching neat in the West, which
already has caused a shrinkage of 20 to 30 per
cent. in the flow OF milk in several dairy sec.
tons, and consequently decrease In the
make OF butter. Receivers are anticipating
lighter shipments from the West, especially
or fine creamery, and Stinening up In prices
Is the natural result.
After looking around AMI making allow
ances for the views of bulls and bears, we
consider II safe to call the market firm at 90
cents for the Northern and Western cream
cry, free from hot weather defects. with some
fancy lots at 20H cents. There is plenty of
butter that Will not bring over 10 to 49,, cents,
which was sent here as extra, and this Is a
matter that country shippers should bear in
mind. Other lots more noticeably injured
ruled AT IL to Is cents, and we heard of some
sales as low as Ii to 1914 cents, all of which
were involced as choice creamery.
The cheese market Is reported firmer in
ed, but trade here is light and buyers refuse
to respond to any higher prices than last
week. For the best New York twins 90 cents

A pearl of remarkable size was found
the other day in a clam taken from a
stream in Iowa. 1t weighed 1894 grains
and was shaped like chocolate drop.
The uninitiated, whose knowledge of
pearl-hunting is confined to what he read
il his school books of the islands of the
sea, will consider this an exceptional
case; but as matter of fact a very
large number of pearls have been found
in recent years in the small streams of
southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois
and eastern Iowa, and among them are
many of the most exquisite tints known
to the lapidary. Color more than size is
reckoned in setting price on pearls, and
many of those discovered in the above
named regions have brought what might
be considered fabulous prices. The
fever for pearl-hunting is akin to that of
gold. hunting, and the discovery OF a
single pearl of any value has witnessed
entire farming communities turned sud
denly into hunters after quick wealth.
1t has been nothing unusual in these
Western states to witness entire families
of farmers wading in the shallow streams
near their homes, gathering the fresh
water mollusks. Ignorance of the proper
method of extracting pearls from such
shells as contain them has resulted in the
practical extinction of the clam in many
of the streams. The method followed
has been the crushing of the shells with
hammers or stones, instead of the eX,
pert method of opening the valves only
and replacing the CLANS in the water
Ignorance also enters into the sale of the
pearls when discovered. Many high
priced gems have been purchased of the
original finders for a song.

Expensive Graduation Exercises.


The Bennington Reformer has per-
formed public service in directing at
tention 10 the gradually increasing ex-
travagances creeping into the expenses
of high school graduatiOns. If there Is
one place in our American life where
rich and poor, high and low, white and
black, should meet on the level and
without respect of persons, it is the
public schools. Among the school child
reE there certainly can be no pretense to
preferment. They all stand equal be-
fore the world, all seeking common
mel tai improvement. all with undevelop.
ed character and capacities awaiting the
opportunities that the future may pre-
sent, or, alas, may deny. The only
policy of those in authority over the
schools should be to so order their every
day routine and public functions that nc
possible suggestion Of social or financial
distinction among their parents may
ever enter the heads of the children
They will find all those things out fol
themselves quickly enough, HEAVIER
knows. Little pitchers have big ears.
But they should never be suggested by
school affairs.
To that end, graduation exercise;
should be as simple, unpretentious, anC
proper regard for the Importance of the
occasion. And the duty OF the schoo
authorities Is, of course, not to change
any of their own directions, but to pre-
vent the enthusiastic children from in
viting expense by limiting the possiblli
ties of it in the programme.

Deyoe lead and zinc is about as good in
three years as it was the day the painter
left it.
Zinc is the secret of it : no secret at all.
A good many painters know zinc; some
mix 1t in with their lead. We grind it in
not little good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that does
1t. You can't mix zinc by hand. We
grind it by machinery.

some painters are slow.

The loss of her commercial supremacy
is not the only loss England has to worry
about Just now. Recent statistics show
great increase in emigration from the
islands. From Ireland alone ISL 97 emil
grants have taken leave in the past five
months. During May alone $500 left
that island. This years census shows a
total decrease in the population of Ire
land of 24S, 204 during the past decade.
For the whole of England the first five
months saw an emigration of Ill 800. 1t
is to be expected that with the Gecreas
of commercial opportunities incident
upon the loss of her prestige in many
lines of industry, England's working
men will be compelled to seek subsst-
ence elsewhere; and that they look
naturally to the United States is EVIL
denced In the fact that of the above
mentioned Ill ,596, total of a, l04 came

Not infrequently the newspaper-reader
runs across an item relating, as curious
fact, that Farmer So and-so has never

never visited some famous spot near his

nesses. All the same, news dispatch

that Senator Thomas Plat of New \ ORR
would this summer visit the Adirondack;

Bennington Reformer. !

The higher branch of the graded
school is supposed to be, and of right
ought TO be, the poor mans college, be-
cause it is at home and Is free, but not
one in hundred of his children are
able to graduate therefrom because of
the need of their services as assistant
household bread-winners. Under the
prevailing expense and growing ex-
travagance attending graduation, still
fewer Of the girs and boys of poorer
families will be able to avail themselves
of the higher than a common school
education. One pair of hands earning
Sl.25 to $l.50 day can scarcely grad
uate one, not to mention more of his
children, when the expense amounts to
from $50 to 500. This expense would
be less if the district bore the cost of the
rent of the opera house for the purpose,
and less still if the faculty discouraged
much of the extravaganza attending
graduation. The poor boys and girls
that can by the strictest economy be
kept in school long enough to graduate
stop out of sheer necessity because they
cannot afford to graduate. This question
is of good deal of Importance in con
nection with free education and deserves
the consideration of the thoughtful.

A great deal of interest is centered on
the fight between organized labor and
the billion-dollar steel trust. Already 1t
has assumed proportions in keeping with
the great interests at stake-more men
are out and more plants shut down than
in any strike of recent years. The trust
had made more concessions on its part
than is usual, but the labor leaders show
that they care little for the monetary
considerations at stake and everything
for the principle of orgaHzation-they
insist that the trust shall employ only
union workmen. There is plenty of
ground for difference of opinion as to the
Justice of the demands Of the wOrkmen ;
but the case under consideration is a pc
culiar one, in that huge corporation,
organized in violation of the spirit, If not
the letter, of a national statute, and seek
ing to monopolize great Industry,
refuses to consent to similar practices on
the part Of its employees in the matter of
labor. Should the national government
be obliged to take hand In this strike,
the country will have an opportunity to
note the wisdom of the appointment
of a steel trust corporation counsel to
the position of United States attorney
general.

There appears to be no good reason why
the law should not be enforced. Stock

Paper Company's Labor Saving Device.

Paper Company's Labor saving Device.
The International Paper company is
having erected near its large piles Of logs
in North Walpole a new and improved
device for taking the logs from the river.
Heretofore they have been drawn out by
long cables and chains over chutes, being
dragged to their various locations. They
are now to be lifted directly from the
water by an immense tripod derrick and
carried by overhead cables to the place
where they are wanted. The new ar
rangement contemplates taking logs
from the river much more rapidly, and
with only about one-ffth the number of
men heretofore employed. If it proves
to be the success anticipated, and which
it has made elsewhere, 1t will throw an
important number of men out of employ
ment. For many years from 20 to 30
men have been employed at these piles,
while only from seven to ten will be
needed with the new machine, which was
expected to be in running order Monday.
