had passed in the charming gardens
and dainty apartments of the Little
Trianon. Also the hours they whiled
away in the Hamlet, a cluster of uni
que houses known as the mill, the bill
liard-house, queens house, the dairy
and the Marlborough tower. The queen
and her companions are no longer seen
wandering over the grounds dressed
in their simple white frocks, playing
the part of dairy maids.

A prober into startling facts makes
the astonishing statement that it costs
as much yearly to keep a dog as it
does to keep sixty hens, and sixty
hens will lay 5000 eggs while a dog
will not lay any.
Very true, but there are extenuating
circumstances in favor OF the dog and
against the hens. To begin with, a
hen doesn't wag her tell when she
sees you coming home from a hard
days work. Instead of scampering to
welcome you, she ducks her head with
a cry Of remonstrance n takes to
the tall grass. A dog cannot lay eggs,
but neither does he creep through the
fence and eat all the early tomatoes.
What good is a hen as a watch dog?
NO good at ALI And you will admit
1t. Did a hen ever "go and fetch It,"
bite a burglar. romp with the boys,
rescue a drowning baby or warn of
calamitous danger? True, a dog has
feas, but a hen has coop lice. True,
also, that a hen may be eaten after
she has served her time in the egg
brigade, but who wants to eat a dog?
Nobody except John Chinaman-we
think too much of the dog for that!
About every winter the cholera breaks
out among the hens and they die, eggs
and all. The dog is a hardy animal,
and given to health and joyousness.
A hen has to be fed from the mill,
but a good dog will forage his own
living with enough margins to start
a bone yard. A hen may be all right
as a hen, but, by hen, we prefer the
dog every time. We need sympathy in
this world and can sometimes get 1t of
a dog when our wife gives us the cold
and placid contour.

were unanimous in heralding him as
a coming success. Accordingly, when
but eighteen years OF r. he tied a

In Mulligan's alley for a chance at a
fortune of great dimensions. For
many weary days and nights he
walked without food and shelter and
at last wound up in the Klondike with

tons and a package of E~atanutta.
These were his sole earthly posses
sions, aside from the clothes on his
back and from fifty to seventy-ive
cents worth Of extra hair on his head
which he had not had time to market
at the mattress factory as he drilled
past. There was plenty of work to be
had at good wages, however, and he
soon managed to save enough to buy
himself a tooth brush and a bottle OF
eau-de-cologne. With these evidences
OF culture he set out for the interior,
where In less time than 1t takes to
miss a fly on a bald mans head, John
Henry had traded his bottle of sweet
to "Old-Man-D irt-in-the-Ear"
for a repeating rife and a tame goose.
With his G possessions carefully

Utopia in the forest primeval

Giant Mica Crystals.

The peninsula of India is famous for
the excellence of its mica deposits. On
account of its delicacy mica quickly
suffers from the crushing effects of
earth movements, and the superiority
Of the Indian deposits is ascribed to
the geologically long and perfect
quiescence thatthe great peninsula has
enjoyed. In the Nellore district crys-
tails, or ''books," of muscovite-mica
have been obtained, measuring ten feet
across the basal planes. Usually they
are much smaller, and even in India the
stability of the earth has not been suf-
ficiently continuous to prevent the de-
struction of large quantities of this
delicate and valuable mineral.-Sci-

SEASON FOR FISHING
HAS BEEN BACKWARD.

Fourth of July and no fishing! The
question is being considered seriously
along the water front. Boats which
have often been busy for several
weeks by the last of June in former
years, lay idly at their mooring, Tapped
by the tide. OF course it has been
the storm that has kept away the pat
rons of the sport, but what has that
got to do with making money?
In one sense the fishermen and boat
owners, had nothing to do with 1t,
but in another, much larger sense,
they had a whole lot to do with it for
it means a very backward season.
Then, the cool, damp weather and
east winds has kept the fish out OF the
bay and those who have taken the
trouble to row out on the water,
Drawing the elements, have had to
row back with only one or two weak
fish, if any at all, to show for th9ir
trouble.
All the fish have rot been out OF
the bay, however, for there have been
thousands of bonkers which are no
earthly use except to the big man
haden steamers along the coast which
scoop them up and sell them for fer
tilizer. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
they go out of the bay before the real
fishing begins.
The longshoremen are prepared for
a good business, too. Boats have been
put in first class condition, but thus
far the only use that has been found
for them is to exercise the muscles in
bailing out the rain water At Gap
tain Liddle's float there is long line
OF boats awaiting the arrival of the
fishermen and he is ready to fix up
the parties in good shape. Our jovial
friend "Yollie" Walters still has his
fleet, but his proud ship the William
J. Bryan, which was in such demand
two or three years ago, is no more.
"Yollie" tells a sad story about her.
With very salt tear he Will say that

river.
At Van Pelt's club house everything
is looking spick and span. The bal.
cony makes fine place to see the bay
and to Judge the clouds as to whether
it will clear off or not. 1t has been
used quite often of late. Because a
yellow flag floats over the building
does not mean smallpox or any such
thing exists. The proprietor is Deputy
Health Inspector of all vessels enter
ing Nare from >'foreign or southern
yporfs and the yellow flag marks the
quarantine line on this side. Var
Pelt has fine array of boats of al
sizes and makes, they are simply wait
! ing for those fishermen to arrive.
There is lots of room for good
. season yet. If the weather comes hot
and dry with west wind every day
the fish will begin to nose up the bay
and there will be sport. This is what
they are all looking for along shore
and some predict that it will come.
