RECLAIMING THE EVERGLADES.
 The great swamp of the Everglades in Florida bids fair to become valuable land for growing crops if the work now under constructor is success. The Everglades are formed by two rock reefs 60 miles apart that extend for 145 miles. There are three million acres of land covered with dense saw grass and it is proposed to put two canals through this swamp and drain it. If the project is success it is said that on 800, ,0O0 acres of this land could be produced two and one-quarter millions tons of sugar that we now im- port. Other parts of it would make splendid rice fields and as there are no trees to speak of in the Everglades the land is all ready for the settler as soon as water is got out of it. By Decem- Der of the present year those who have the work in charge expect to have sev- eral thousand acres ready for occu- pancy. It is considered to be one of the greatest works in agricultural de- velopement in the nation.

THE OUTLOOK.
THE GROWTH IN TEMPERANCE

 SENTIMENT.
 It is interesting to notice how the Prohibition movement is growing in the United States and what large section of the country is free from the dcmi- nation of the saloon. The following whole states are now in the temper ance column; Maine, Kansas, Tennes- see and Georgia and Texas is likely to swing into the temperance column in the near future. Already eight million people live in Prohibition states and Oklahoma has adopted constitution which outlaws the saloon. It has been said that to-day figures show that near ly one-half of the people of the United States live in communities where get ting drink of rum means breaking the law or defying public sentiment. This is quite an advance from the days when they served whiskey at the in- stallation of ministers and dealt out toddy to the workmen when they built their churches. The president of the Wholesale Liquor Dealers association at the annual meeting in June, declared in his report that During the 12 months the Prohibitionists have made grave inroads on our business. Espec- ially is this true in the South and un- less we work with more energy and determination to stop this tidal wave, every state in the South will be closed against us. May he prove to be true prophet. For the rum business is the curse of our Anglo-Saxon civiliza- tion and if we can lead men to live sober and temperate lives we shall do away with three-fourths of the misery, crime and poverty of this great nation. In the south the relation between the saloon and the negro and crime is so evident that the sensible Southern gen. tleman does not want rum hole in his state. It would be good thing for northern voters to get the same idea into their heads.

 TWO EGGS A DAY FROM ONE HEN.
 The University of Maine Is making some experiments with hens and it has found bullet that has done the egg trick. The observer noticed that early in March this particular bullet laid two eggs in one day. They tagged her and in the latter part of March she did 1t again. In the five days, April Sd to 7th inclusive biddy again came up to the scratch and laid eight eggs in five days thus establishing q record in egg production that is without parallel up to date so far as recorded. It has hap pened once in while probably that hen has laid two eggs in one day. lay ing morning and evening and not doing her duty either the day before or the day after. But this seems to be a clear case of hen doing regular and double duty at the same time. If the . two eggs day breed can be estab- . lished it will be popular at once.

Bermuda the onionIess.

If you just go to Bermuda for the onions, you had better stay at home, because all the onions are exported. But if you can make up your mind to do without onions you will have a splendid time. In the first place, there are no railroads and-oh, blessed thought!-no trolleys on the islands. You can forget the hurry and the fret and rest tired nerves. You can bathe; you can sail on the wonderfully clear, still water within the rampant of coral; you can fish and look through water glasses thirty feet down on the teem- ing life under sea. The Bermuda boats are rigged with something which is al- most a balloon jib and leg-o'mutton, or jib headed mainsail, and they are of deep draft. But they work pretty handily and will stand up and sail fast in rough water, so that you can take them out beyond the protected water without fear.-Trayel Magazine.

Leqend of the White Sky Calf.

The Kiowa Indians have a queer story of the white sky calf" Accord ing to the legend, that portion of the American desert was formerly very fertile, supporting large herds of pure white buffaloes, each having black tail These creatures were held sacred by the savages and never killed for any purpose. Finally an old medicine man, Ne-ka-ta-mah, vowed that he would have a tepee built from the sa- cred white skins. The chiefs of the tribe tried hard to dissuade him from the notion, but all to no purpose He declared that he would commence to collect the skins on the morrow. Dur ing the night great white light ap- peared in the sky and in its center a white buffalo calf. The calf slowly de scended to the earth, took charge of the herds, leading them northward, and from that day to this the Kiowas have never seen a white buffalo

MAN CARRIED OVER THE DAM.
MICHAEL GARvEY,s EXPERIENCE.
Remained on Rock in Mid-streAm
 Until Rescued.


 Michael Garvey, a resident of North wilbraham, met with an experience the 5th which will remain vividly in his memory for some years to come. MT Garvey is a man about 50 years of age, and little past his prime for the kind of exercise he took Sunday. He started out about o'clock in the afternoon with the intention of giving his children 8 boatride, but owing to some objections made by his wife to the children going on the river he started out alone, just above the Col lins Manufacturing company's dam. When about half way across the river one of his oars snapped, leaving him at the mercy of the swift current, which carried him over the dam. However, he still kept his position in the boat, but lost the other oar, and with the boat partly filled with water made his position more complicated than before. The river at this points very swift and full of rocks, making it almost impossible to handle a boat with a pair of oars. On he dashed down the river for several hundred feet, when the boat struck rock in the middle of the river and capsized. Garvey made a leap for the rock, which was only large enough for two or three men to stand upon, and waited for further developments.
 The news soon spread around town that a man had been carried over the dam in boat, and in a very short time the banks of the river were lined with men, women and children. It is estimated that over 150 people watched Garvey in his uncomfortable position on the rock. An attempt was made to get line to him by tying several clotheslines together and fastening one end to board and float ing it down to him from the bridge, but this failed, as the long line sank to the bottom of the river and stopped the board from floating down. Gar vey was drenched to the skin, shiver- ing with the cold, and suffering from bruises which he had received. James Long appeared on the scene with a pair of hip boots and armed with a board to steady himself, proceeded to wade out to him, feeling his way with the board. This he accomplish ed with great difficulty and danger. He at once took of his coat and gave it to Garvey. In the meantime Archibald Martin and Eli Robert secured another boat and launched it a short distance above Garvey's posi- tion. They also broke an oar, and were shipwrecked on another rock, and were obliged to turn back and secure another oar. This time they were more successful, and guided the boat to ''Garvey and Long's" island, where the two men were obliged to jump into the boat on the fly, as the water at this point is very swift and they did not want tc take chances of oapsizing this boat by allowing 1t to strike the rock. It was shortly after ' in the evening when Garvey was rescued. Garvey was very much chilled and bruised, but it is thought that nothing serious will result from his exciting experience.
