A CORRECTION.

My dear Mr. Smith, I wish to call
your attention to a mistake made by
your printer which should be correct
ed In your next issue. At the end of
paragraph giving list of fish planted,
ETC., you make me say that thousands
of adult bass" etc. This sentence
should read as follows: "The record for
the present year is not yet complete.
Up-to-date thousands of yellow perch,
Matched at the hatchery and raised up
to the advanced stage, and sixteen
adult bass have already been planted. "
1t is sixteen adult bass Instead of
thousands. Will you kindly make
correction as I do not wish to appear
as mistating the number of fish plant
ed in the lake. Sincerely yours, ia.

to q fine dinner, to which all did am.
pie justice, after which all went out
on to the verand8, where q complete
surprise awaited Mr. Smith, who is an
old veteran and did loyal service un-
der the flag. A card hung down over
the porch and Mr. Smith was told to
pull 1t, when to his surprise q handsome

to him, floated to the breeze. As II
floated out, the company all joined In

and made SO happy for few minutes
he could not speak, but finally found
words to thank the company for the
number of handsome and costly pres

from friends in Ansonia and Pitts
burg, Pa. The afternoon was passed
very pleasantly with social chat and
music. A number Of patriotic songs
were enjoyed. In the evening some

Here's to our good old soldier,

Who gave his blood for his country,
And went for years on peg.
The time is fast approaching
When bis birthday comes again;
We wish him good luck, for he's got
pluck, =.
In sunshine and in rain.
So we'll unite the Nations holiday,
With his birthday, it being so near;
As the busy life OF the other day
Would prevent our meeting here.
70 show our respect for dear old Dad,
Whom we ever found kind and true!
And we know he was always loyal
To the old ''red, white and bluep'
So we've made him the nations en-
blems,
On ground Of purest white,
To recall the bloodshed crimson,
On the "blue" In the thick Of the
We hope he'll accept this birthday
OF the flags and badges gay,
And While h3ne !, ne remembers the "boys in
He will think Of his friends of to-day.

city of New York VIII Care for
COnsumptives.
The heaviest gun which the city Of
New York has yet brought to bear on
tuberculosis was trained on the white
plague on Nov. 1, when DR.. Darling
ton and Mayor Mcclellan formally
took possession of the 1000 acres Of
ground purchased in sthe Catskills,
where the city will form the largest
consumptive camp in the country.
Up In the Shawangunk range of
hills in Orange County, halfway be-
tween Middletown and Port Jervis,
and 1900 feet above sea level. where
the pure and health giving air of the
Catskills sweeps down from Lake Mo-
honk and Lake Minnewaska. the con-
sumptive poor of the city will in
very short time be able to make the
fight for health and strength under
conditions which a municipality has
never before been able to place at
their disposal. 1t will be the realiza-
ton Of the efforts which Health Com
missioner Darlington has put forward
for some years, and the plan has at
tracted the attention of scientists and
students of tuberculosis throughout
the world.
After untiring effort DIR. Darlington
succeeded, with the help of the mayor,
in having the authorities appropriate
$4,000 as a starter The deal for the
lopd x,-bfob oop,prieo. nine for,,,. bo.-
ing upon them all the necessary barns
and farm houses, was closed Oct 10,
and 600 sores of the tract purchased
will be put in shape at once. The en-
tire cost of the experiment will ap-
proximate 100000 and no doubt ex-
lists in the mind Of DR.. Darlington that
the city will quickly appropriate the
balance as soon as the need becomes
apparent.
According to the statement made by
Dr. Darlington to the board Of estl-
mate. no more ideal spot for the work
In hand can be imagined The tract Is
beautifully wooded. springs abound.
there is good fishing In season in the
mountain streams. and the farms have
produced garden truck In abundance
for years. There are a number OF
herds of thoroughbred cattle on these
farms, whose diaries have produced
5000 quarts Of milk a day, and as all
the farm appurtenances, cattle and
buildings become the property OF the
city by this purchase. there Will not
only be enough produce and milk
properly to feed the patients. but for
a time the farms will continue to be a
source Of revenue to the city.-Ohio

Lest We Forget.

The day has long passed when
Americans travelling in foreign coun-
tries can be made to feel apologize
over their nationality. But in these
days of general recognition of our
the American OUCH
esses have become so numerous that
we cannot keep track OF them-there
still remain a few who will remind
us that we are not quite perfect.
In recent lecture the speaker, an
Engllshwoman who had lived many
years in Japan, dwelt upon the admir-
able manners OF the inhabitants of
that land, but said that she must ad-
NIT that in one place their behavior
was not above censure; on the rail-
road trains she had been surprised
and disappointed to see them pushing
and crowding in a manner quite for
eign to their habitual gentleness and
grace.
Vow do you account for such a
thingT demanded Il voice in the audi
ence.
1T can be explained" replied the
lecturer, simply, only, in this way.
In Japan the proper conduct for every
occasion in life has been prescribed
from antiquity. Consequently, from
childhood every one knows just what
he ought to do and does it gracefully.
But when the railroad was introduced,
there was. of course, no precedent for
behavior on trains; so the Japanese
adopted the American manners"

THE HANDY MAN.
Happy Is the Home that Has rhfs
Factor of Comfort.

Factor of Comfort.
A handy man is the greatest con-
yenience a woman can possess. Ever
since Eve presumably found him in
Adam, family life has more or less de-
pended upon him, save In those UNI
civilized tribes where, In addition to
being woman. the female has to as
sumo the tasks OF the man. says Kate
Gannett Wills in Boston Cooking
School Magazine. But, as SPECIALIZE
ton has stepped in TO take the place
Of being Jack OF all trades, the handy
man is dwarfed and in many homes
has become extinct. Yet what wife or
mother would not rather have him
round the house than an expert bac-
teriologist or a connoisseur In GER
amics. Only the wealthy. who can
issue the days orders to as many sep
arate individuals as there are jobs to
be done, can get along without him.
The handy mai is kind Of general
mechanician. knowing little about all
useful trades. He is an amateur
plumber, carpenter. electrician, sur
veyor, farmer, nurse and doctor. The
more primitive the section in which he
lives, the greater his power. Usually
ne has more common sense than other
people. and mis- ready dry humor
amuses us In spite of ourselves. for,
though grateful that he can do so
many things just well enough, we yet
are often annoyed that they are not
better done. Still, he is the helpmcet
OF the tired wife and mother and has
been known to turn the clothes wiring
er, make the coffee, wash the dishes
and walk the floor with the baby
That he should lay the kitchen lire
and do the chores is part of the widely
recognized but unwritten marriage
contract.
He may be an inventor spoiled In
the making, having taken out severa
useless patents, or he may have gradu
ated into the handy man from having
broken down as minister, lawyer OF
insurance agent The genuine kind
however starts I'm life handy, hired
out as a boy, and is the sole support
of his mother until he falls in love
He stralghtens out crooked nails
saves strings and paper bags and eat'
with his coat on, having a sense of the
fitness of things.
He is not the kind that spends mon
ey on barns and moving machines
yet let's his wife fetch water from tn'
well, for he pipes the water supply
into the house as far at least as the
kitchen sink. Being handy, he sees
the pecuniary value of labor-savlnl
devices for women as well as for men
And, oh, the fences he mends, the gate
latches he adjusts, the wagons he re
pairsl
The scarcity of handy men increase:
with each new specialization In indus
try. but we all have heard of happy
home lives where the man Is handy
the home jobs he does accruing no
only in value of things done, but IL
savings deposited in the bank.

When mothers sick, the house is all
So strangely hushed in room and hall
But mother never will admit
She's suffering a single Bit
She won't let people do thing
There's nothing any one can bring
She just lies there, and tries to fix
Herself, by cunning little tricksl
And as for doctor-why, the word
She scouts as being most absurd.
And when he comes he has to guess
At symptoms that she won't confess;
And then he's apt to frown and say:
you should have had me right away,
I'll come again this evening"-for
It's bed, you see, a week or morel
When fathers sick-I tell you, now
You ought to hear the dreadful rowl
The talk Of dying" and the groansl
The orders in convulsive tonesl
The hasty runnings to and fro;
To rearrange the pillow-so;
To fix hot-water bag and shade;
For mustard plaster, lemonadel
Appeals to get the doctor, quick
And Cant you see I'm awful sick7'
And then the doctor sits and hears
While father grunts his pains and fears.
He leaves some drops, and tells US,

Unless I'm needed l sha'n't come
Again. | think he'll do all right"
And fathers up, perhaps, by night
