PAUPAO.

The weather has been extremely
cold for the past month. Our sages
remark that they do not remember
having had such a cold season as
this has proved to be in years. The
result is that the crops are not as
far advanced as they usually are at
this time of the year, The drought
earlier continued for some time and
the hay crop threatens to be light.

This dread disease which has caused
more untold agOnies than words can de-

Medical Science in recent years has found
a remedy that successfully combats all the
aggravated symptoms due to this distress
ing affection. After many years OF pa

the well known specialist, has discovered
a positive remedy that cures the cough,
gives immediate relief and eradicates
every vestige Of the disease. So confident
Is the doctor that his Asthma Remedy
will effect a cure in all stages that he has
instructed the Clark Medical Co., Of Pitts

ment to every sufferer Of Asthma who
writes for symptom blank. This Is a very
liberal offer and shows the confidence the
Clark Medical Co have In the merits Of
this preparation. II any OF our readers

The fence club has discussed the
crow question. These birds have
done great damage to c-rnfelds and
some fields had to be replanted.
Crows are useless as insect destroy
ers, but they do iniure farmers
crops and destroy the eggs ct insec-
tlvorous birds. King birds, cat
birds and others may be seen daily
chasing them away from their
nests The way to deal with them
is to scatter poisoned corn in the
spring and so thin out these pests.
Prof W d. Barrow in his annual
report to the United States depart
meut of agriculture in 1883 says,
summing up the evidence as to the
food of crows "The careful exami-
nation of large number of stom.
achs and the actual study of the in
sect food of the crow may change
materially the present aspect of the
question but as far as the facts at
present known enable a Judgment
to be formed the harm which crows
do appears to far outweigh the
good. ED.

WHERE DO SALMON FEED7
"A Question That Even the Fish Ex-
Derts Are Unable to Safisfac-
toriIy Answer.

There is no family Of fish more in
teresting than the salmon, and in no
other fishery have the benefits of arti-
fetal propagation been more clearly
demonstrated. The homing instinct of
the salmon enabled the propagators Of
fry to learn, at the beginning of their
work, that it was worth doing, writes
John r. Spears, in Success. Salmon
Matched in any stream usually return
to that stream when they are Of spawn
ing age. The propagators reared sal
mon to the size Of fngerlings, marked
them, and turned them loose. In due
time the marked fish returned and
were caught in the home stream. Tt is
curious fact, however, that, in spite
of the homing instinct, salmon are
found at the spawning season in the
brackish water at the foot of Ala skan
was ever Matched.
Another curious fact, learned
through marking the artificially propa-
gated fish, is that lingering weigh-
ing from one to two ounces may grow
to weigh from two to ten pounds in
six or eight months, and in two wears
aweight of 40 pounds has been reached S
The growth depends, of course, on the
food supply. But where salmon feed
and what they feed on have not yet
been learned. It is supposed that they
find small marine animalsso numerous
in their deep-sea haunts that they
swim about "as if in a SOUP Perhaps
the deep-sea haunts will sometime be

ANECDOTES OF THE SHAH.
His Persian Highness Is Not Entirely
Without Sense OF
Humor.

The shah supplies fair crop of anec-
dotes daily, says the London Tele-
graphs Paris Letter. His sayings and
doings lend themselves largely to
anecdote treatment, and they are
therefore carefully recorded. The
latest story is about the shah and the
dentist. His majesty suffered from
toothache soon after his arrival in
Paris, and a professional extractor of
{ high-class molars was sent for. The
professional looked at his ma iesty's
teeth and advised the extraction not
of one, but of several. The operation
was postponed for day, but when the
dentist returned to the Elysee Palace
hotel he found the shah all right and in
o playful mood The toothache had
gone, and there was no longer any
need for the dentists services. AS the
professional was preparing to leave
the shah called him back, saying: 81
do not like to have troubled you for
nothing, so, as you have come, you had
better draw molar from each of my
counselors." The shah spoke with his
eyes fixed on the ground and in a medi-
tative manner. When he looked up all
the counselors had vanished, with the
