rough sort Of way our author finds parallel
in the extension to South Wales OF the
Miners Federation OF Great Britain. After
a strike OF forty-two days, the struggle Of
1900 in the Pennsylvania anthracite region
ended in an armlstce In which the advan-
tape was on the side OF the men Having
entered upon the struggle with a member
shin OF less than 5000 In that region, the
United Mine Workers came out with a
membership OF 10000 The degree Of
solidarity which the so-called national
organizers" succeeded in bringing about
among q population composed OF fourteen
nationalities, was certainly remarkable.
One considerable independent operator
had for years made 1t a part OF the contract
between himself and his employees that all
difficulties should be submitted TO local
arbitration, and that his men should never
strike. Nevertheless, most OF his men
went on strike In order to secure general
settlement. II may be, a. Mr.. Ashley sug-

defended by medical authorities
and by leading army officers,
and opposed mainly by people to
whom temperance is a matter less of
scientific than Of semi-religious
thought; and the army canteen is the
only national temperance issue at pres
clt, although states and towns are ex-
p~erimenting with various aspects of
prohibition n license. We have Just
been reading some Italian statistics
Wllicl undertake to show that children
with nervous diseases are usually the
issue of parents who drink. The stats,

children whom he examined were alb
normal nervously, a fact which he at
tributed in part to the stress of modern
life, but more especially to stimulants
taken by the parents, and among slim
ulants primarily alcohol. Facts, as he
relnarks,aare more eloquent than De-
m~osthenes, and he is satisfied that the
facts connect drinking with the .ner-
vous diseases which he deems peculiar
to our times. Actually the evidence
about the effects of stimulants in mod
GRAFTON is still insufficient. That drink
is a frightful evil nobody denies.
Whether to the temperate nature stin..
ulants in general, coffee, TEA, liquor, to-
bacco, are good or evil. Is far from
proved. People living amid the city
rush, in the center Of excitement, APP

in the country, and are as likely to be
healthy. Nervous diseases may be less
the product of modern haste than the
discovery of modern science. We are
all. the time discovering new diseases.
and all the time the death rate grows
less. We live longer as we understand
more. While it is clear. therefore, that
stimulants Of any kind are dangerous.
It Is not clear that w diseases are
more frequent than they were before
tney were and it is not clear
that the general excitement Of life ia

method has been especially productive OIL
good results when the fowls were
located in a house not as comfort

shape and with a Light feed of grain at
noon and the warm mash again at night
they kept up the body heat necessary for
their comfort and for egg productlon.
Many fowls that are otherwise well fed
and cared for during the winter actually
suffer for something warm. The warm
mash will furnish this needed warmth

Push the Laying Hens.
In all sections of the country the prices
for eggs are higher than they have been
in previous winters for many years. FOUL
trymen who arc taking the proper care
of their laying hens are getting good re-
turns, but those whose care Is -ndlTefent
or who pushed the layers during the sum-
mer are complaining that their hens are
not laying well. Unless the, laying hens
and pullets are doing ali that might be
fairly expected of them it will be a sooo
plan to push them to better efforts by IL
little eXtra care and feeding. Here Is
where the use of green cut bone and ami
NAL food will count in good, profit. Feed
the meat scraps s~paringly. giving each
layer about a tablespoonful three times Il
week. Then see that the layers also have
something green TO help them along. Buy
a few cabbages and tie one up in the
scratching shed SO the hens nay peck at
il wnen they feel inclined. Then see that
the layers a some sheltered place
where they may enjoy any sun that may
be together with the handful of grain to
keep them scratching and take exercise.

Feeding the Fall Calf.
When one has a calf which it is desired
be added TO the dairy the point Of good
care in its early years is of vital i'm
p~ortance. If in a section where the calf
cannot go out of doors a great deal dur
ing the winter some provision should he
made so that she may have exercise in
an enclosure which is dry and where some
sun may be had If possible. To a certain
extent this is quite as important as the
food the calf has. One of the best ra-
tons for the calf is skim-milk, but it
Will not do to make his any considerable
of the ration for the day. but in addition
the calf should have all the good clever
hay it viii eat. If this is NOT possible then
let the supply of corn fodder gwen be not
only liberal. but ot the best quality; picl,
out the smaller stalks, those that retain
some of the green If possible. If the calf
IS j months old, thereabouts, the grain
food should consist of from two to four
pounds daily and may be corn and oats
fed whole. although a mixture Of equal
parts OF corn meal ground oats and wheat
bran VIII be found more satisfactory.
Bear In mind about handling the calf as
advised a few weeks ago. Treat 1t gently,
but do not spoil It by petting. Teach il
haoits OF cleanliness by always keeping
the stan clean and the coat brushed sew
trai times a week. A calf brought up in
the manner described will make a yalu-
able addition to the dairy.

FOOD IN THE NAVY.
Coed Quality m Necessary In EAT.
ables N. 1t In In the Amma-
milton Provided.

"Good food is just as important as
good ammunition and good guns, says
Rear Admiral Kenney, chief OF the
bureau of supplies and accounts, ana
it is the policy of the government TO
give the men good, wholesome food'
of as near uniform quality as posi-
BILE. and as tastefully and palatably
prepared as we can get cooks to pre-
mare it. We believe that with the pres
ent ration we can feed the men IN
quantity and variety well enough so
that they are not compelled to use
part of their pay for additional food.
This is an important consideration, ana
gives to the pay of the enlisted men
of the navy of the United States an
actual value very considerably De
yond the enlisted mems pay OF any
navy in the world"
The remarks were called forth by the
recent comment of the London Dally
Express on the mess cook book ISSUED
for the use of the United States navy.
The Express remarked: 1.-THE Amer
lean navy for a hundred years has had
the reputation of being the best fed
navy in the world"
Speaking of the conditionexisting in
the British navy, the Express says:
1.-THE delay in improving the food
Of the British bluejacket is causing
much discomfort on the lower deck
Promises have been given by the ad'
miralty which have not been fulfilled

ural outlet exists here, 65 feet above
sea level. OF course, the spillway
must be higher than that to MAIN
tain the desired level in Lake Bohio.
The commission proposes to have it
IS feet above the sea. From the
Gigantic the water will drain off
through swamps to the lower
Chagres, little excavating helping
the flow here. 1t is expected that
the Gigantic spillway will serve as
an automatic safety valve in time of
floods.
As already stated. about 1874 miles
of the route lie through Lake Bohio.
For fully seven miles there will be
deep water. Only a little dredging
will be necessary as Gamboa is APP
preached. To the southeast of the
latter point lies the heaviest work
along the whole route. For nearly
eight miles (7.95 to be exact) a cut in
the backbone of the isthmus will be
needed to bring the canal down to the
proper level. This is known as the
Culebra cut. The water will be no
higher here than in Lake Bohio, and
there will be no locks. However. as it
NAV be desirable to drain the Culebra
level some time. gates will be intro
duced near Gamboa Eat Obispo0
1t may be remarked. in passing. that
the depth of the Culebra cut bears a
close relation to the height of the Boz
hio dam. The amount of excavation in
the former was lessened 90 feet when
the commission decided 10 raise the
level of Lake Bohio to 80 feet above the
sea. instead of 20 feet. On the other
hand, if Gen. Abbot's recommended
lions had been adopted, it would have
been necessary to go 90 feet lower in
the cut. Part of the material to be re-
moved here is rock, but a good deal
more is merely clay.
Partly to control the excuses of the
Chagres in very rainy weather. it has
been proposed to build dam at Aha
lucia. 10 or IL miles east of Gamboa,
near the source of the stream. 4 al. +
fetal lake there would serve as reser-
voir, take care of part CT the surplus
water when the precipitation was
heavy. and thus relieve Lake Bohio of
part of its responsibility. BY
affording storage it would. moreover,
be able to reinforce the lower lake in
the dry season.
At the southeastern end of the Guile
bra cut, az Pedro Miguel, there is a
drop of 81 feet, managed by two locks.
At Miraflorcs, a mile and a third
further, another lock lowers the level
% feet more. Beyond that point to
Panama, over four miles, the canal is at
sea level. Dredging in Colon harbor to
the extent of &c miles and at Panama
for 3.6 miles will add materially to the
work required, but these figures are
not included in the estimates already
given in congress for the canal proper.

PANAMA CANAL TALK
Main Features of a Stupendous En-
cheering Work.
New York Firms Hope to Get Con-
tracts for Building the Ditch
Political Aspects of Canal
Treaty.
Especial New York Letter.1

NEW YORK financiers and con-
IN tractors are taking n deep in
terest in the progress of the
Panama canal negotiations. 1t seems
to be the consensus of opinion that
both the United States and the lit
tie republic of Colombia are to be
congratulated on the outcome of
Secretary of State Hays negotia-
tions, according to which the United
States is to pay $10,OOO.00o outright
and an annual rental of S250,000, the
latter to begin nine years after the
ratification of the treaty. The canal
strip is to be leased to the United
States for 100 years, with the priv
lege of renewal; but all rights and
privileges of sovereignty are reserved
by Colombia. Even the right to en-
force police regulations in the leased
territory is granted only in case OF
emergency. According to article %,
in case armed troops are required,
Colombia agrees to provide the
forces necessary" and if these Co
lombian troops are unable to pre-
serve order the United States may.
with the consent of Colombia, bring
in its own forces. Under exceptional
circumstances, it is conceded, the
United States may bring in troops
without red tape, but in that case
'as soon as sufficient Colombian
forces shall arrive those of the Unit
ed States shall retire." Colombia is
to establish judicial tribunals within
the canal belt; and joint tribunals,
to consist of Colombian and Ameri-
can jurists, shall sit for the trial of
all cases between citizens of Colon
bia and those of the United States.
The only exclusive judicial jurisdic-
ton the United States will enjoy in
