What We Gain.

In the first place, the people here
look upon us as their friend, and are
ready to rely upon and trust us i'm
plicitly. In the second place, the canal
treaty is so liberal in it's grants to us
that we could not have asked more.
except we had asked a cession of the
entire territory. We are free under the
treaty, and in return for the same
terms offered Colombia, to do exactly
as we please over the canal strip; to
make and enforce sanitary regulations
over the zone and in the cities of
Panama and Colon; to bring into these
ports free of duty all the supplies
needed in the canal work, and we Sc
cure the Islands in Panama bay, lying
just off the entrance to the canal, and
a little work will convert these islands
into veritable Gibraltars. Our domin-
ion over the canal strip is, in short,
virtually complete. This we could not
have secured from Colombia. In Sc
curing it as we have done we not only
get that, but at the same time we get
a dominating influence over the gov
eminent of the country through which
the canal is to run. That we could
not have secured from Colombia, for
the government, had the Hay Herran
treaty been ratified and the revolution
of Nov. never taken place, would
have centered at Bogota, far from our
influence and control. To anybody IA
miliar with the craftiness and trickery
Of I4atin-American politics this advan.
tage will appear as a most important
one.
That we shall ever have occasion to
take up arms against Colombia to sus-
tain this republic is suggestion one
never hears on the isthmus save
among the members of the American
colony in this city. Rumors of all
sorts are current in this regard, but
none of them are definite. 1t is said
that Colombians are already moving
toward Panama; their camps have in
fact been located, and tales of inva-
sion and coming warfare are circulated.

War Not Thought of.

The knowing-the native Panama
ians-only shrug their shoulders at
these tales. In government circles
there is some little show of activity
in preparing for resistance; but this is
a bluff equal in size to that which Sc
nor Jose Agustin Arrange passed to
Col. Torres over the telephone wire
between Panama and this city on the
evening of Nov. 4. Col. Torres had
been demanding that he be allowed to
communicate with Gems. Tovar and
Amaya. The demand was refused,
but as a substitute he was allowed to
talk to Senior Arrange. After a little
preliminary palaver Col. Torres, in
trying to convince Senior Arrange of
the folly Of the revolution, said
IT have 5000 troops
1--WE have 1000" answered Arrange,
quick as a flash; "all armed and
equipped for active service"
II shall march upon Panama to-
morrow" said Torres.

THE DUMP
FELL DOWN

For the second sine within the past
month the north end of the Stag dump
at Eilers' smelter fell down, a curious
coincidence being that in each in-
stance four Stag cars went over the
dump.
The accidents were caused by the
base of the dump disintegrating and
sloughing off, which caused the top,
some seventy feet above, to project
out and fall when overbalanced by
the loaded Stag cars.
The dump is very high and when
the slip comes it comes with a roar
and a crash. Fortunately nobody
was hurt in either accident.

eKNHE season of catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twanss are to be heard on every
hand The origin OF chronic catarrh, the
most common and dreadful of diseases, is
a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gem
orally begins A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has q
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose, hawking, spit
ting frequent clearing of the throat, nos
trils stopped up, fun feeling in the head
and sore inflamed throat.
The best time TO treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. a bottle of Perrp1 prop
erly used never fails to cure u common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured OF
chronic catarrh by u single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more thnn one
bottle is necessary to complete cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerabe
| of catarrh of twenty years standing
| It is the best, if not the only internal
| remedy for chronic catarrh in existence.
| But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
| should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat al
| this season of the year and thus prevent
| what is almost certain to end in chronic
| catarrh

Eggs for Matching.

The usual practice of selecting eggs
for Matching is not good one and
results in deterioration of the flock
rather than in its Improvement. 1t is
desirable to set the eggs OF the hens
whose characteristics we wish to re-
produce. These hens are for the most
part winter layers, that is, hens that
began to lay eggs in December. But
they will have about finished their
work by the time spring comes and
the less profitable hens will have then
begun to lay eggs at great rate But
that is just the time that eggs are Sc
lected for setting purposes. The or
binary method is to take the eggs at
random at that time, only making sure
to get good-siZed and we'll formed
ones. They are almost always from
the late layers instead of the early
ones, as the eggs from the early lay
ers are very few at that time. The
result of the process is a continual
elimination of the tendencies for early
laying. To reverse this process the
! farmer must select his best laying
fowls in midwinter and put them into
| pen by themselves, with a proper
| male. Then when spring comes the
eggs from these birds may be select
ed for setting purposes, the rest of
| the eggs being used for commercial
| and culinary purposes. The early
| layers will of course be laying few
| eggs as late as March and April, but
what eggs they do lay will be of ex-
| ira value for setting. Moreover, the
fewer laid the greater will be the
chances for their fertility. In the
height of the laying season with each
hen the percentage of infertile eggs
is the greatest. So it happens that
even the greatest producer of eggs
is not necessarily the most valuable.
The sooner our farmers abandon the
method commonly followed the soon
er we will see an Improvement in the
quality of the fiocks being raised on
the farm, especially in the matter OF
winter laying.
In picking out birds for this breed
ing pen, those of vigorous constitu
ton should be selected. They should
be long in the body and great con
sumers of food. Light eaters car
never be great egg producers. Select
: large birds, as these are found to be
the most vigorous, as rule. Fol
the reason that we have given above
it is better to purchase a trio o.
, birds from a reliable fancier and have
them produce the eggs for settinl
than it is to wait for spring and bu!
the eggs. In other words, If we arr
to have good fowls that will produce
eggs when they are high in price. We
, can get them only by knowing some
thing about the birds that lay the
eggs to be used in Matching.

WHITE wYANDOTTES.

The statement is not questioned tnal
they did produce both solid plack
chicks, also solid white ones, for TINS
is known to be the fact. AT the
same time the quality of these SELF
colored sports was no better than the
parent birds from which they came
as sports. The strong-breed charac-
teristics of the whites, when present,
is the result of careful mating and
the influence Of Asiatic alliance. We
are informed that an exhibition Sill
ver-Laced male of merit (from Eng
land) mated to some of the very best
American-bred females has in the
past two seasons produced some beau
tiful:shaped White Wyandottes. This
continued production of white chicks
from Silver-Laced Wyandottes has eX-
listed from the very incipiency OF the
breed to the present time. Such q
large production of solidwhite chicks
throughout the period of twenty eight
years points to a reversionary, rather
than to a sporting, condition. Or, IL
| other words, it leads to the opinion
that they throw back to white an
| cestry rather than show tendenc!
| to sport or produce albinos.
