SUITS WILL GO ON.
Panama Canal Litigation Prom
Uses to Be Endless.

Paris April 1.-Bonaparte wyse, the
original concessionaire of the Panama
canal, in an interview today, criticising
the Panama canal decision, says he has
been moved by the Hottest motives,
mainly to prevent the new company
from absorbing three-quarters of the
payment to be made by the United
States, and thus depriving the old
company of it's just share He also
has sought to prevent carrying out
what he designates as a 'monstrous
crime" in the abandonment of the
canal as a French enterprise, and de-
clares the decision of the court yester-
day was technical and did not reach
the merits of the case. NJ. Wyse adds:
But all is not finished. Suits will
go on. We will seek the support of the
public and press in a campaign of pub
lie publication
The Panama canal company is pro-
ceeding to carry out the transfer with
out reference to appeals, as the COM
pany is advised that the decision Of
the court reaffirms it's prima facie
rights.

A GOOD THING TO DO.

1t is a good idea to spend a good
deal of time among the chickens in the
different breeding yards, for in this
way only can a fancier become famil-
lar with all his chickens and their ma
lures. What farmer would keep fe-
male for breeding purposes after he
has discovered that she is barren, and
what careful breeder of poultry will
keep a hen that does not lay or that
lays only few eggs. In the first in
stance the hog would be fattened and
sent to the slaughter house, and in the
second instance the specimen could
be roasted and served with oyster
dressing to appreciative invited guests
or even to the family.

peel so as to form the eyes and mouth,
as shown in the picture.
Make the eyes small the nose fiat
and broad and the mouth large. Then
cut flaps out of the sides and turn
them outward-these are the ears,
which should be very large.
Now you get a chance to eat part of
the larger orange, as you are to clean
all the fruit from one-half, and turn
the peel up neatly all around. This
makes the hat with its brim. Stand

MANooEs IN JAMAICA.

Curious Manner in Which the Trcet
Came to BE TranspIanted.
1t was in 1882 that the British
frigate Flora, one of Admiral Rod
ney's squadron, cruising about the
West Indies. chased and captured a
French ship bound from Mauritius to
Haiti. On board the prize were found
many plants and seeds economic
value, which the French Government
were introducing from their East to
their West Indian colonies. Among
these were number of young mango
trees, all numbered. The ship was
sent as prize to Jamaica, and the
collection of plants was paced in a
garden at Gordon ToI,i, afterwards
used as the Government Botanic Gar
den But the numbers got mixed or
lost, and only one mango tree retained
its label, and that was No. II, which
to this day is its only name. AS 1t
happens, too, it is the best and most
famous variety. Just as the rabbit
taken to Australia, finding there no
enemies, but most congenial condi-
tions, multiplied and increased enor-
mously, SO the mango, requiring con-
slant cultivation to produce prolific :
crops of sweet fruit in it's native
home, found everything so suitable
in Jamaica that 1t fiourished :1cre
without care. Today it is the most
common and hardest tree Of the
