DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-

The audience which had relaxed the
solidity of its formation, largely in an
effort TO escape the direct rays Of the
sun, massed itself again directly in
front of the speaker, when Senator
John c. Lane came forward to read
the Declaration of Independence. Judge
Dole introduced him as an Hawaiian

LINCOLN IS GETTYSBURG AD-

The Red, White and Blue, by the
choir followed and then Judge Dole
introduced E. B. Mechanism who read
Lincoln S Gettysburg Address. Before
reading it Mr.. McClanahan briefly told
of the occasion of its delivery. 1t was
on the Fourth OF July, he said that
Gen. Lee retired from Gettysburg after
une Of the great battles Of the war.
4 few month later a part OF that
battlefield was dedicated as d cemetery
for those who fell for the preservation
OF the union 1t was because 1t was
an address made on a great occasion
during the war for the preservation OF
the union that it was particularly ap-

How I Raise Turkeys.

Every spring rid my turkeys of
lice before they go to laying, and
when they go to laying I find the
nests, and If securely hidden so that
crows will not be apt to get the eggs
I do not touch them, and if not hid
secure I either place something over
the nest for blind or take out the
eggs and put hens eggs in their place
until the hen goes to setting and has
set two or three days; then I remove
the hen eggs and place the turkey
eggs in the nest. Keep the date of
the setting and look after them when
Matching, as they sometimes leave the
nest before the eggs are Matched.
After they are Matched I move them
to field that has grass, wheat or
rye tall enough to hide the little ones,
and when about one week old feed
them once day on cornbread until
they get up little size and then feed
them grain in small quantity until
frost; then feed them all they want,
three times per day.
The one essential thing in raising
turkeys is to keep them free from
lice. Geo. B. Lucas, in the Indiana
Farmer.

PeriIs of the Poor.

Two little children in New Bruns-I
wick were recently burned to death
because they were locked in and
could not escape when the house took
fire; the parents of the children are
to be held to an account for criminal
negligence.
The case is a very sad one, but
those whose duties or charitable in
clinations take them among the poor
state that the practice. of locking
young children in the house while
the parents go out to earn their liv-
ing is much more general than is re-
allied. 1t often happens that both
father and mother must go out to
work, and what then is to be done
with the children? If left to them
selves they are liable to run hestreets
and be crushed under cars or carts.
II locked up in the house they escape
the dangers of the street. but they
are apt to play with matches or with
the fire, and death finds and claims
them for its own.
Poor children of the poor, there
seems to be no safe place for them.
There are in Newark and other cities
such things as day nurseries, where
little children may be cared for. and
there should be more of them. If
there is any possibility of avoiding
the locking of little children alone in
their homes it should by all means
be avoided.-Newark News.

Profits in Horse Raising.

Opinions are still plenty to the eff
feet that the profit in horse raising
is much over-estimated. 1t will, how
ever. be difficult to convince Luther
Parson, of Parkhurst, says the Maine
Farmer, that he is not considerably
to the good in his account with horse
raising in the case of a colt recently
sold. The animal was less than two
years old, a grade Percheron from a
hfgh-class sire and a common farm
mare for it's dam. The colt cost but
little more to raise than a two-year-
old steer or heifer, but it sold for
$3.50. Still the talk for the speed
"hoss" goes on so loud and contin-
uous that the real profit makers are
well-night forgotten when the breed
ing season comes round.

COpperas and Lime Wash.

A writer in the Scientific American
says he has cleared his premises of
rats and other vermin by making
whitewash yellow with copperas and
covering the stones and rafters in the
cellar with it. In every crevice in
which rat might go he put the cop
peras, and scattered it in the corners
OF the floor. The result was a COM
plete disappearance of rats and mice.
Since that time not rat or a mouse
has been seen near the house. Every
spring the cellar is coated with the
yellow whitewash as purifier and
a rat exterminator, and no typhoid,
dysentery or fever attack the family.

BLASTING OUT ALPINE ICE.
Shipments by Railway to Distant Eu.
rOpean Cities.

rOpean Cities.
On the furrowed sides of MANY
Swiss mountains there are glaciers or
rivers of ice. They flow very slo1-ly,
but contain material of great purity
and beauty. AS the heights where
theso wonderful streams are can now
be reached by electric roads, built
largely for tourists, a new industry
is spTinging up. Glacier ice is being
quarried and is transported to cities,
both in Switzerland and beyond. 1t
commands better price than the
products of lakes and ponds
When the ice is first blasted it is
first conducted to the head of a wi
shaped trough and slides down the
mountain with great velocity. 1t is
then conveyed in special refrigerator
cars to other places. In order to
remove the evidences of the use of
powder some skill is required, but
much greater ingenuity has been ex-
ercised in devising means to check
the speed of the sliding masses. This
is accomplished by giving a tortuous
course to the troughs. Every curve,
OF course, increases the friction.
According to the London Times
Engineering Supplement- a singular
feature in connection with the prep
aration of the zee for the market is
that it has been found necessary to
store it for some days in special ware
houses, formed of a double thick
ness of boarding with a stratum of
sawdust interposed, in order to re-
move a coating of frosted or non
transparent ice, which tends to form
on the surface of each block as it
leaves the glacier.

NO MILLIONAIREs IN ALASKA.
Governor Hoggatt Has Never Me
Amy i'm the Territory.

Any in the Territory.
An interesting visitor in Washing
ton at this time is MILFORD B. Hog
gait, for seventeen years an officer
in the United States Navy, and since
last spring Governor Of Alaska. He
is here to submit to the Secretaries
OF War and Interior reports Of the
northernmost Territory, and will lay
before committees of Congress such
information about Alaska as they
may wish. Governor Hoggatt, while
unwilling to discuss in advance the
recommendations contained in his
reports, was willing to say something
to-day about the weather of the Ter
ritory he governs. In all OF Alas
ka," he said, there is not million-
aire nor semi-millionaire; in fact.
| do not know of any man who is
worth s250,000. The stories of fab
ulous sums made there in placer min
ing have been exaggerated. Money
was made, to be sure, but when they
made it, most of them left the Terri
tory to invest or spend it In the
United States. The Klondike region
had $4,000 people in 1t five years ago,
to-day it has only 1000. In Alaska
$40, 100000 in gold was taken out
this year, as compared to $4,000
600 last year. But this does not
mean that any man is becoming a
mining king. The Territory is a
pleasant, healthful place to live, and
it has opportunities; but it has no
greater opportunities than are to be
found in the States.
Though there are more than i've
men to every woman, as in all new
countries, we have social life which
is up to the average. Copper mining
is being developed rapidly; last year
we turned out 100000 of it; this
year $2,000,0 900. With the extension
of railway lines up into the copper
territory, which is 400 miles long
and fifty miles wide, the output will
be enhanced, as the Alaska copper
| fields are said to be among the most
valuable in the world. Coal mining
is another industry that is developing
rapidly. w Washington correspond.

Don't Brighten the Cows.

No man who owns cow can afford
TO have her afraid of him. 1t is a
loss to the owner every time she is
frightened. To run a COW to pasture
is throwing money away. The COW is
a milk making machine, and should
be kept In the best working condi-
ton, and this condition is one of
quiet. A cow in any way worried
will not do her best. Make pets of
the cows, and they will make money
Tor the owner. The milk of fright
ened or chased cow is poisonous. The
moral is obvious-never allow your
COW to be maltreated if it can be

My dear Everard, It's perfectly
preposterous." The Duchess of IL
lingstown sighed and leaned back in
her chair. II cannot think what the
world is coming to, or what the poor
Duke would have said.''
The DOwager Duchess OF Illings-
town had only lately come over from
Illingstown, where she had spent the
last few years in strict retirement on
her Irish property after the old
Dukes death, when her son, the
present Duke of Illingstown, had
married. The Dowager Duchess had
made the excuse of widowhood a rea-
son for her seclusion. Now, however,
the young Duchess having been very
Ill, she had consented to come and
stay with her three little grandchil-
dren while her son had taken his
wife abroad.
The Dowager Duchess, a great and
dear friend Of my mothers, was old
fashioned in her views, and belonged
to that nobler school of dignity and
gentlehood that one sometimes fears
is becoming extinct-not that there
is any real need for fear, as 1t is,
of course, only the blatant and vul-
gar few who apparently submerge
the more retiring and refined of their
sex.
1t was a matter of horror and
amazement to the Dowager Duchess
to find that several of her younger
relations had either opened or gone
into shops, and it was this discovery
which had elected her angry remarks
to me.

"Certainly-why not?" said the
Dowager Duchess calmly; "but they

too"

the Duchess stif1y; "and the way
they tout for work is absolutely scan
dalous. Just look at this bundle of
letters. Here is Sophie actually ask
