Night and Enjoyed the Bazaar.

NSnl anu EnJoyeu the bdzaar.
There was plenty of sport at the
carnival last night and although the
wheels We're not running the books
went like hot cakes. A book can now
be bought at the fair for ten cents.
They sell for 81, but by a novel
scheme ten people have chance to
get one for ten cents. All the other
attractions made good last night and
the fair is now an assured success.
The Chinese restaurant did a thriving
business and it still continues to be
the center of attraction. The pretty
refreshment booth is also favorite
place to sit and enjoy ice cream and
other appetizing delicacies. The de-

evening and they are well cared for
and they seem to enjoy it. Commit
tees from other societies have also at
tended each evening and yet the Elks
are not worrying. They are glad to
see all those committees and extend to

committees are especially invited to
attend because there may be something
doing which will interest ITEM still
more. There will be new and novel

TAME FISH IN A RIVER.
A Travellers Story of What He Saw
In Upper Burma.

A Travellers Story of What He Saw
In Upper Burma.
When in camp the other day, was
riding through q village when the VII
lage headman asked me If / would like
to see 'the fish" l, not knowing what
the headman meant, at once went with
him down to the banks Of the stream,
followed by several villagers with
baskets of sessanum and paddy mixed
together. Then the thuggi called Lay,
lay, lay, lay" for few moments,
when, 10 ana behold, large herd Of
ngatwe, or big, short tlattish fish,
came up just under our feet and were
promptly fed by the Burmans.
The fish were amazingly tame and
tolerated being stroked and petted
even by me. There were In all about
thirty three Of them, varying In size
from eighteen inches to three and a
half feet long, the larger ones having
a girth ut the gills of about thirty inch
es. They would go away and come
back whenever they were called.
The villagers told me-and see no
reason to doubt what they say-that
these same fish come up against the
monsoon food at the end Of June and
90 away about October every year.
They can recognize individual fish by
marks, scars, ETC., which they pointed
out to me.
The Mon is nearly dry in the cold
and end Of the hot weather, and the
fact that these fish return to this one
village landing stage every year reg.
ularly and never go to any other is
quite worthy of remark. A villager
who kills any of them has to undergo
penalty Of ~ shillings by common
consent, and great care is in conse-
quence taken Of them.
The ngatwe of upper Burma Is n
very short, thick fish, tapering rapidly
from behind the gills to the tail, has
long feelers on both upper and lower
lip and has no noticeable teeth. He
makes very good eating and has but
few bones. have often heard Of tame
fish in tanks, but n herd of tame fish
in monsoon river connected with the
great Irawadi Is a very bizarre phe-
nomenon.-Burma Cor. London Field.

GROW YOUR OWN CORN.

How many farmers in New England
are saying that farming does not pay.
How many are keeping cows and selling
cream at little over cents per space
and paying the miller Sl.45 per 100
pounds for meal. How can they expect
farming to pay in that way. l agree
with j. ii. Hale when he says the farm
ers are dead to their own interest and
want waking up. Is there New Eng
land farmer that says he can't raise corn
for 81 per 100 pounds or less. II he
can't he had better give his farm away.
What does a man get for his hay, corn
stalks and labor from keeping cows and
buying grain at these prices. We place
ourselves too much at the mercy of the
western farmers, who raise the corn.
Why don't eastern farmers wake up
and be prepared this year to so to their
own corn cribs for feed instead of going
to the bottom of their pockets. We
have plenty of the best of land and a
good climate. There is no grain crop
raised in the United States that cannot
be successfully grown in New England.
We can lead the nation If we only 60

II WaA n Dream.

When q certain divine was a younger
man and chaplain at the University
OF Pennsylvania. like other ministers
who filed that position he was much
troubled over the apparent lack of at
tention from the students during the
morning exercises In the chapel.
The exercises hardly ever continued
for more than fifteen minutes. Some
Of the students were in the habit OF
taking their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their tardiness of the
night before in not preparing their les
sons.
The young chaplain was desirous of
breaking up the habit, 80 one morning
preceding his customary five minutes
address he spoke as follows:
young gentlemen. last night
dreamed | was here in the chapel ad-
dressing you. And as spoke saw
every eye fixed upon me. every man
attentive, while I'm all the chapel there
was not book opened, and then
knew it was Il dream"

ATTACKED BY A HERON.

Boy Tries to Capture the Bird and

"I've hunted everything from gray

ice, which a slight rocking loosened
from the barrier.
The block began to make its way
down the river. The river itself be-
came wider. and the route was free.
Michael strogoff and Nadia could
hear the firing of guns, the cries Of dis
tress, the shouts Of the Tartars that
made themselves heard up the river.
Then little by little those crieSof deep
anguish and Of ferocious joy were lost
in the distance.
"Oh, those poor companions" whis-
pered Nadia.
For half an hour the current quickly
carried along the block Of ice which
was bearing Michael StrogOh and Ma
dia. At every moment they feared that
they might sink under the water. Be-
ing caught in the stream, 1t followed
the middle of the river, and 1t would
not be necessary to give 1t an oblique
direction until there was question Of
making for the quays of Irkutsk.
Michsel Strogoff. with his teeth set
and his ears ready to catch the least
sound, did not utter a single word.
Never was he so near attaining his
end lie felt that he was about to sue
ceed.
Toward O'Clock in the morning n
double row of lights lit up the somber
horizon on the two banks Of the An
CARA.
On the right was the glare from the
lights of Irkutsk, on the left the fires
of the Tartar camp.
Michael Strogoff was not more than
half verst from the city.
"At lastw whispered he.
But suddenly Nadia gave cry.
At that cry Michael Strogof rose up
from the block, which became very I'M
steady. His hand stretched out toward
the head of she Angara. His face, all
lit up with the reflections Of blue lights,
became terrible to look at, and then, as
though his eyes had been reopened to
the light, he cried:
"Ah, God himself is against u.s."

Weeds have their use and are bless
ing in disguise. They make the lazy
man till the soil. Many farmers look
upon them as a nuisance and cultivate
the soil largely to destroy weeds. How
ever, few of the elect are beginning to
look upon cultivation as means of OBJ
tanning better crops, and the destruction
of weeds as asecondary object. A weed
is merely plant out Of place; in some
places it may be timothy and clover, in
others, a choice garden flower. On poor
or improperly prepared soils weeds can
obtain a stronger hold than the crop
planted, therefore they emphasize the
need of enriching the soil and of fitting
it in the best known manner for the
crop which is to occupy it. Those
farmers who have land which they have
brought to high state of cultivation dc
not complain bitterly of weeds.-N. E.

The apple will never be as much at
home upon the prairies Of the West as 1t
is in the eastern states; neither will it
be as long lived. The heavier rainfall
and the greater humidity of the atmOs-
phere in the east are every way more
favorable to tree growth than are the
drier and more elevated plains of the
west. An apple tree hundred years
old is no rarity in the state of New York,
while one forty years old is rarity in
Wisconsin, Illinois or Iowa. Still the
west will raise apples, and lots of them,
if men will keep planting, the best fruit
being obtained either in the East or
West from the trees under twenty years
old
