Hens Hatching Fish Eggs.

According to the science column
of German weekly paper, The hens
of China lead busy lives. When not
engaged in Matching out brood of
their own kind they are put to the ad-
ditional and novel task of Matching
fish eggs. Chinese cheap labor col
lects the spawn of fish from the wa
ter's edge and puts it in an empty egg
shell, which is then hermetically
sealed with wax and placed under the
unsuspecting and conscientious hen.
In few days the eggshell is removed
and the spawn, which has been
warmed into life, is emptied into a
shallow pool. Here the fish that soon
develop are nursed until strong
enough to be turned into a lake or
stream.

BREAD TRUST
In City Of Mexico Will Charge
Prices Mutually Agreed On.

AT Mexico City there is much
popular indignation over the for
nation of a pool among the bakers
of this city to raise the price of
bread. This trade is in the hands
of half a dozen rich Spaniards who
have signed an agreement to charge
prices mutually agreed on. The
agreement is for two years.
This agreement is wholly unjus-
titled, as the price of wheat has not
altered in Two years while the tsx
es are the same. The cost of liv-
ing for poor people and the lower
middle class has been increasing
steadily and meat has Ibeen rising
for two years past.

Old Trouble Said TO Be The

On Monday morning about 3
O'Clock in the blacksmith shop, Corr

a difficult occurred between Artie
Fitzpatrick,of this city, and Sid A..
Upton, formerly of this place but
now of Lexington, resulting in Tip
ton being struck in the head with
a pistol and shot one time in the
side. From reports it seems that
the trouble dates back some year S
when Fitzpatrick's father was
killed at dance in the country
Upton was accused of the killing,
tried and acquitted 1t is the
supposition that Fitzpatrick cher
ished i'll feeling toward Upton.
Artie owns by recent purchase
an interest in the shop and when
Upton entered ordered him out.
One word brought on another,
some saying that Upton showed
violence. He was again ordered
to leave, and was struck on the
head with a pistol and shot once in
the right side, the bullet struck .

not located by physicians here
before Upton was taken to Lexing-

Fitzpatrick surrendered, was
taken before Judge Hazelrigg,

the sum of $500, awaiting result

SOLD HIS REscUER.
Thereby, unthinkingly, Placing Right
Value on His Own Life.

Value on His Own Life.
On a recent Sunday large num-
Der of ducks settled down opposite
Dorval, Quebec, in Lake St. Louis,
where the ice had melted about the
islands. As the provincial legisla-
ture enacted last year that though
there should be no spring shooting of
ducks, it should nevertheless be law
full to shoot buffle-head or pied ducks,
an excuse was given to large num-
Der of individuals for disturbing the
Sunday quiet by the discharge Of fire
arms.
Among other ardent sportsmen de-
termined upon killing any moving
thing under the name of buffie-head
was an excitable young Frenchman
with an expensive gun and fine
Newfoundland dog. BY some strange
fiuke this man brought down a black
duck on the ice Oh the other side of
so feet of water. The dog, after
some delay and much screaming from
his owner, swan. across the ice-cold
water and seized the duck.
Just as he did so the bird huttered
its wings, and the Newfoundland, re-
membering many beating received
for taking live poultry in his jaws, at
once dropped it and returned for fur
their instructions. The sportsman
was enraged beyond measure by the
laughter of his companions, to whom
he had Dragged good deal about the
retrieving qualities Of his dog, and he
dealt two or three unmerciful blows
with his gun at the animals head He
was frantically cursing and at the
same time feeling for cartridge
wherewith to kill the poor brute.
when his feet slid off the block of ice
he was standing upon and he fell into
deep water.
Instantly the dog he had so shame
fully abused a moment before sprang
to the rescue of the drowning man.
and diving brought him to the sur
face. Then with great effort he got
him within reach Of his friends, who
helped him ashore. None of the
party appeared to think very much
Of the magnanimous achievement Of
the Newfoundland, and after a good
pull at a flask the gunner, whose
weapon was now at the bottom Of the
lake, was padded ashore, and defect
edly made his way toward the nearest
house.
Two bank clerks who were passing
on a Sunday morning tramp to
church, and who had witnessed the
whole occurrence, walked along with
the Frenchman toward the little cot
tage, eongratulating him on his es-
cape. One of the two remarked as
they neared the door:
81 don't suppose many men have
money enough to buy that dog from
you now?"
"Ah, yes was the unexpected re-
ply from the man whose life he had
just saved. 81 sell him to you for one
dollar and half Not too much, eh
He'es fine big dog, that one"
The bank clerk was taken aback for
a moment, and then produced three
half dollars from his pocket, which
he handed to the bedraggled one with
the observation; 81 guess you know
the value Of your life better than l
do. I'll take the dog, but I'll be
hanged if l didn't think a good deal
more Of his sense before you spoke

Citizen of AccomRe Drowned OF Hat
faraa

The distressing intelligence was re-
ceived at Accomac Q. H. last Satur-
day that Captain j. Myers White, OF
this county, had been drowned the
day before off Cape Hatteras. by the
capsizing OF the Schooner @. II.
Oranmer, which later advices have
confirmed as correct, though the
faint hope WAS held out at the time
by the people on the tug towing the
Cranmer that he might possibly
have foated off on some wreckage
and been rescued.
Captain White was a native OF
this county, son OF MIR. Henry U.
White, postmaster at Accomac O. ii ,
and until few years ago, when he
moved with his family to Norfolk,
lived here. His untimely death is
greatly regretted. He was we'll
known in the county and deservedly
held in the highest respect and es-
TEEN by all who knew him.
he was married and leaves besides
his wife and two small children,
father and mother, one brother, Mr..
Harry G. White, of Danville, and a
sister, Miss Bette White.
The following report OF the disas-
ter appears In the VirRinian-Pilot OF
last Saturday:
The schooner g. G.. Cranmer, Capt.
Bragg, was swamped at II o'clock
Friday night, broke in two and the
captain, his son and j. M. White, a
resident of Norfolk, were drowned
The schooner was being towed by
the tug Alexander Jones, Cap
tain Smell, at the time. Captain
Smell cruised around in the vicinity
In an attempt to rescue the captain
and crew of the ill-fated schooner,
but without success and the tug
reached here yesterday afternoon
and reported the loss.
The tug Alexander Jones, Captain
Smell, sailed from Ocracoke, n. o.,
Friday with the schooner Cranmer
bound for this port. About II O'Clock
Friday night, when about nine miles
east Of Cape Hatteras light, wind
south blowing gale with rough
high seas, the schooner filled and
fell over on her beam ends. The tug
Immediately cut hawser, lowered
life boat, drlfted 1t to the schooner
on line to rescue the crew, but the
vessel went to pieces 80 fast 1t wai
impossible to rescue them.
The tug remained around the yes
sci for some time, but could find nc
trace OF the crew. The entire crew
consisting OF Captain Bragg, his SOL
and ]. ri. White, was lost. Captain
Smell, OF the tug Jones, says they
may have floated off on some wreck
age, but this he does not think prob
able, as he crulsed around for sever
al hours and could find no trace o.
them.
