Dor during the dark days of 1868,
when Napoleon and England were on
the eve of helping the southern con-
federacy.
Some of the older readers of The
Press may call to mind the annual
visits here years ago of Miss Naomi
Barns of New Haven, afterwards Mrs.
Essi Stanwood of that city. Her
mother was cousin of the late Hon.
s. T. Preston. We recently received
word of the death of her only son,
Loren, 40, in that city. He was ex-
tensively engaged in the manufacture
of car wheels. His father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Essi Stanwood, are still
alive and in fairly good health.
We honestly supposed we were
through with egg talk, but here is a
bit more we have received: George
A. Cosgrove reports that his 400 White
Wyandottes layed 8, 1853 eggs in Jan.
uary and 4. 847 in the short month of
February, over 400 dozen. The net
cash profit above cost of feed for Feb
ruary was between $50 and 800. In
the four days of March, to date, they
have laid 8O8 eggs. OF course, small
fiocks will surpass this, Miss Church
reporting in recent paper that her rs
Plymouth Rocks laid 46 eggs in day.
This is 81 per cent, extra good laying.
But have a coop of 40 White Wyan-
dottes that layed So one day and 81
another day last week. This is 90
and 92.2 per cent. After Eve years
OF effort Mr.. Cosgrove thinks he has
produced strain Of layers that are
hard to beat.

invariably attended the encounter of armed hosts in olden times.
 The explanation is that fighting is now carried on at such a distance and in separate bodies of infinitely great lmanoeuyring power that the least tac- tical advantage becomes instantly ob- yious, while the abandonment of arr nor and the ponderous weapons of the
 melee has endowed bodies of troops with superior mobility, both in advance and retreat.
 In old days. when the effective range
 of the longbow was not more than IS
 to 20 score yards, a battle could only
 be decided by armies coming to close
 quarters at an early stage of the com bat. The consequence was they became so internlingled that they could with difficulty be separated and, indeed, the victor was often quite unable to feel assured of success until he found no more of his opponents to slaughter.
 Moreover it was much more difficult to
 make effective use of cover then than
 now, and the bowman of Agineoirt was debarred from the use Of his weap- on in the prone position adopted by his successor, the rifilen1ar of to-day.

him, in addition, to disgorge his ill-got gains, but contrary resolution has been reached The painful subject will be dropped.
 The whole affair will set the country to thinking, however, whether some way cannot be devised to protect our simple minded trust rnagnates from the knavish and ruinous schemes of the agricultural population. What this man has just done to the Standard Oil company may be repeated by others, until that great corporation is finally forced to the wall. Furthermore, it seems to open up a way whereby the individual citizen can tackle the trust problem successfully, and there is dan ger that similar experiments will be made with other organizations. And then we must not forget the strictly sentimental consideration of the pain our magnates suffer at the discovery that their generous efforts for the ame- Iteration of the ills of society have not inspired all the people of the country with the proper sense of gratitude.-- New Orleans Times-D Democrat.

one which will pose in picture and written description
at the World's Fair as the one approaching nearest to
the model structure for rural purposes. This will
make it the most noted rural school house in the
world. This building is a small frame structure cost
ing about 81 500. The cost and size are not the
points which make it sought after as a model strnc-
