issue of the American Boy is filled with
good things for the boys. There are
eighteen stories of exceptional inter
est. suited to every kind of boy. The
cover page is spirited representation
of a Bronco Rider. The many practl-
cal, helpful departments which have
been so great a feature OF this best
bows paper in the world are continued,
and, altogether. this number Will be
marked as a winner Published by the
Sprague Publishing Company, Detroit,
Mich. S1.O0 a year: sample copies ten
cents each.
Mr.. Herbert w. Horwill, whose lucid
and vigorous magazine writings upon
the more momentouS questions OF TO-
day have attracted much attention, con-
tributes to the September Atlantic an
able discussion of The Bible in the Pub
lie Schools. Mr.. Horwill has exceeding
ly wide first-hand knowledge of the con-
dition of the study of the Scriptures IN
the public schools both in this country
and in England. He analyses very firm.
ly the extremely difficult question OF
how far the Bible may be used as a
study in the public schools. His COM
prehensive study Of The complex factors
which must determine the answer can
be overlooked by no one seriously con-
cerned in this most important OF ques-
lions.

A Rare Picture.

Charles Bradbury at Boulder Cottage
recently received a picture which he natur-
ally prizes very highly 1t was presented
to him by the Boston agent of the Cunard
line of steamships and is a picture of the
old steamship Britannia, the first of the
Cunard line and the first steamship to cross
the Atlantic 1t is copy of an old draw
ing and represents the Britannia as she was
leaving East Boston for Liverpool on Feb.
ice seven miles long and 100 feet wide.
The Britannia had been frozen in, and this
channel was cut through the enterprise of
the merchants of Boston. The picture rep
resents not only unique historical event,
but also gives an excellent idea of ocean
steamships of that day, a comparatively
small side wheeler. A fact to which the
Cunard officials point with great pride is
ness, from $780, transporting passengers
across the Atlantic, not a single passen-
gers life has been lost.-Camden Herald.

main cabin is handsomely fitted, with
upholstery in scarlet silk velvet in good
condition. There is an open fireplace,
electric bells, large closets and substan-
tial furniture.
In the staterooms the bedding is
ample and in good condition. There is
a large bathroom, fully equipped.
When new the vessel cost $50, 900 and
half as much more has been spent on
her in repairs. She was last overhaaled
in 1894. Her planking is pine and she is
fastened with composition bolts.
Considered from the yachtsman's
standpoint, Rev. Mr.. Sanford got a
bargain in the Wanderer at any price
under the asking figure.
AS gospel ship she is likely to at,
tract good deal of attention, and It
the plans of her new owner are carried
out there are few harbors on the New
England coast. where - feet can be car
ried in, that will not see the Wanderer
and her gospel crew.-Boston Globe.

CALIFORNIA VINTAGE.
Irene ndOus Production of Wines i'll the

Irene ndous Production of Wines i'll the
- Golden state.
The california vintage of 1908 has
commenced. From now until the ad-
vent of the heavy rains it will be in
progress. The climatic conditions this
year have rather tended to retard the
picking of the grapes. Owing to the
cool weather, the grapes have been
slow in ripening, but with the continu-
ance of the warm weather of the last
week the grapes will mature rapidly
and produce the requisite amount OF
saccharine matter. 1t is agreed, how
ever, that generally the crop will be OF
generous proportions. Last season
was an exceptional one in this respect,
$4,000 tons Of grapes having been
crushed, from which 25,OOO.OOO gallons
of dry wine and 1900, 900 gallons OF
sweet wine were obtained, a total OF
100000 gallons, exclusive of the
brandy production.

The expulsion of Samuel Hoar OF
Concord, Mass, from Charleston, s.
c., in 1914, during the heat of the anti
slavery excitement, was one of the most
stirring episodes in that very stirring
period of our history. The story has
been well told by Senator Hoar III his
memoir of his father, and finds place in
the various general histories OF the anti
slavery agitation; but the circumstances
are unfamiliar to most persons OF the
present generation. The leatet giving
the original papers relating to the mat
ter, just published by the directors OF
the Old South Work in Boston IN their
series of Old South Leaflets, will to
many be fresh reading. Samuel Hoars
own letter is given, detailing his expert
ence in testing in South Carolina the
constitutionality of the act by which
that State imprisoned free negroes
coming within her borders: and this is
ACCOMPANIED by Governor Briggs mes
sage to the Massachusetts legislature
upon the subject, and other illustrative
papers. Samuel Hoar was a remarkable
man: Emerson's beautiful tributes to
him will be remembered. This leatlet
is graphic presentation of the most
famous episode in his life, and a real
contribution to the history of the anti
slavery conflict.

POULTRY EXPERIMENTS
AT the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta

AT the Maine Agricultural Experiment sta
ton.
Bulletin No. % just issued by the
Maine Station deals with the investl-
cations with poultry during the past
wear. The most important subject dis
cussed is the breeding to increase the
egg Yields of hens This work has now
been in progress four years with the
Barred Plymouth Rocks and has at
racted much attention in this country
and Europe The aim OF the work is
not to produce few phenomenal yield
ers for sensational purposes, but by
selecting the best layers and rejecting
the Improbable ones and mating them
to males whose mothers lay over POO
eggs per year to build up family that
shall excel in high average yields of
large, brown eggs. Starting with a
family that had averaged about 120
eggs per bird for several years, the av-
erage has been increased to $50 eggs the
fourth year. During the last year one
hen in every eight has laid over 200
eggs; the highest yield by any one bird
being PSI eggs.
Many cockerels have been sold from
this Station to farmers in the State at
nominal price during the last year
and by distributing the blood in this
way it is hoped to aid in uplifting the
poultry industry.
An account is given of keeping hens
in large and small focks on the
same floor space. Also the results
of keeping birds in an inexpensive
house that is open to the outdoor air
during the day, in which they are shut
into a warm roosting closet or bedroom
during nights. Fifty pullets in one
flock in this cheap house, with floor
space of five feet to each bird, laid an
average of IA eggs in ten months.
This house has been used three years
without case of sickness SO far.
Probably the most valuable feature
of the bulletin to investigators is the
discussion of the incubation tests,
where the great variability from day to
day in the fertility of the eggs laid by
the same hens is shown by the record
sheets of laying and incubation, where
every egg is traced throughout the
tests.
The fallacy Of trying to judge OF the
egg yielding capacity is shown by the
illustrations of hens with their records.
Some of the heavy layers are fine In
their makeup, while others are heavy
and almost coarse. All the good layers
are alike, however, in having evident
vigor and strength. Illustrations OF
the poorest layers are also shown.
Bulletin SO will be sent free to all
residents of Maine who apply to the
Agricultural Experiment Station, Orc
no, Me. In writing, please mention
this paper.
