Fish Chased Ashore by Whales.

A serious menace to health is
threatened at Nahant by the large
quantity of fish which have been
thrown up on the beaches and rocks
following, it is believed, the appear
ance of porpoises and large fish, sup
posed to be whales.
Although the fishermen gather them
as fast as the tide recedes, many are
overlooked. 1t is the opinion Of the
natives that the fish, which include
mackerel, hake, pollock and herring,
all small in size, have been forced
ashore by the larger fish, which have
invaded the waters recently.-Bostop

that caused the conductor to think
the train had struck a Wild West
show.
During the rest of the trip Buck
was nailed to his seat.
Every time he tried to use the elas-
tic in his neck, the wife would burn
him with hard, cold glitter.
The Roast-Beef Sisters seemed to
be all carved up about something or
other.
The drummers went back to the
shop, and were selling things again
when Sledgeheimer fluttered down
among us.
Maybe you've never met Jakey
Sledgeheimer!
He travels for firm in Brooklyn
that makes imitation grapefruit and
rubber fnan haddie.
Jakey is the LATEST looscner that
ever tied a string around a roll.
The boys call him putty because
he's the next thing to pane.
He's such stingy loosener that he
looks at you with one eye SOS not to
waste the other:
If you ask Sledgeheimer what time
1t is he takes of four minutes as his
commission for telling you.

Shaw, do you smoker"

In the annals of the road no one
could look back to the proud day when
Sledgeheimer had coughed.
Once, so the legend runs, he gave
a porter nickel, but it was afterward
discovered that Sledgeheimer was
asleep, and not responsible at the
time, so the porter gave it back.
Sledgeheimer tried to collect three

| kept the nickel, and the conductor had
! to punch his mileage and his nose be-
fore he'd let go.
And now Sledgeheimer had asked
Slim if he smoked!
Slim was pale but game.
"Sometimes!" he answered.

S1edgeheimer.
We looked for the engine to hit a

Then Sledgeheimer went away back

In the Ice Ace.

Prof. Louis Agassiz, many years ago,
first announced that the ice sheet, or
glacial flow, at the northwest of Maine
could not have been less than a mile
deep; while later biologists have con-
tirmed his statement, adding the more
recent conclusion that the ice was of
that thickness at least over the larger
part of New England.

LAUGH WAS ON THE DEACON.
Statement Might Be True, But Ger.
tainIy Was Unhappily Expressed

'"T regret to say" remarked Deacon
French, at the last meeting of the
Squashville Political Debate club.
that this club has been degenerating
ever since 1 became member of it,
The deacon paused and flushed as
he saw slight smile on the faces OF
his fellow members.
What I mean to say is," he con-
tinued, with some haste, that ever
since joined this club I've noticed a
gradual but decided change for the
worse"
The smile on the faces of the other
members deepened, and the deacon's
face turned almost scarlet.
"You all know what l mean," he
added, desperately. What l mean Is
that from the very minute became a
member of the Squashville Politi.aC
Debate club, could see that It v as
beginning to lose its value as an Or
ganization, and the longer have,
stayed in it, the more steadily have I
seen it running down hill!"-Lippin'

Bad Season for Vessel Owners.

According to the European maritime
papers, it is probable that the German
navigation companies will distribute
this year only small dividend, if they
distribute one at all. This was ex-
pected, on account of the elimination
In the number of emigrants, which has
continued during the year, and the de-
crease in the freight transported. The
figures for emigrants for Am>rica
through Hamburg and Bremen wilt be
500, 900 lower this year than in 1907.

the young man rose to remove his

MONEY IN COLORADO POULTRY

At the Poultry Institute held by
the Colorado Agricultural College in
Greeley, August Eth, Prof. W. G.
Chambers exhibited a Rhode Island
Red hen that had laid 200 eggs in
one year.
Professor Chambers keeps from
forty to tifty hens on town lot and
has to buy all his feed He keeps
an accurate account OF all expenses,
and last year for feed, louse killer,
straw and all incidentals, the cost was
one dollar per hen.
He uses trap nests and keeps no
hen that lays less than 100 eggs in
twelve months. The average for his
entire flock is a little over twelve
dozen eggs a hen per annum.
The average price IN the open mar
ket for the year for eggs has been
- cents dozen. This makes at mar
ket price an income OF three dollars
hen for the year-two dollars a hen
more than the cost OF feed where all
feed has to be purchased.
Professor CnamOers mas MADE more
than this amount because he has sold
some OF his eggs for Matching.
Professor Chambers ascribcs his
success to intelligent feeding, good
care and trap-nesting.
His hens are given dry feed en-
tirely. He gives light feed OF
whole wheat and corn three times
a day, scattering the grain in the
litter.
He keeps before his hens all the
time in self-feeding hoppers a dry
mash made OF the following mixture:
bran. ......-.. .2uO pounds
AlIal1a meal ..............2 2OO POUNDS
Shorts. .............l 100 pounds
Linseed meal. 100 pounds
Meat, bone and blood 80. 100 pounds

retained throughout. Progress was the
runner up all the way. and just about

advantage of length or so with his

Academic Athletics

Students generally express the hope
that Alfred Skaife. president of the
Academic athletic league, can be per-
suaded to accept the nomination for the
coming year instead of withdrawing
from the league, as he plans at the end
of his present term on account of pres
sure of business. Skate has success
fully filled the Office for four years.
There are certain policies and consti-
tutional improv elnents which, league
members declare. require his aid. In
the four years in which he has filled
his Office he has raised the standard of
high school athletics. The league
membership has been increased by q
great many interior schools joining
At the present time plan is being
perfected whereby all the schools of
the state will be Joined in one league,
whose contests will be for the cham
pionship of the state.
The withdrawal of Berkeley high
school from the Academic athletic
leagQ5 did not come as a surprise. as
the xathietes and members ) of that
school have been dissatisfied with the
handling of the gate receipts. The
trackmen did not feel that they were
getting their share of the money
The trouble originated in the school
and was not due TO any act or the OFF,
cials OF the academic league Berkeley
high can, however. compete in any of
the bay counties meets and can also
enter athletics in the Pacific athletic
association or meet any school of the
academic league, but they can not COM
pete in any field contest held under the
direction OF the academic league.
The new constitution that has been
submitted by Alameda and Oakland
high schools, If accepted by the league
will tend to make those schools strong
advocates of the academic principles
and force Berkeley high to stand alone
in its attitude on that side of the bay
The formation of the grammar
school league of San Francisco and the
active interest taken by the pupils of
the schools which compose it will do
more toward helping the high schools
of San Francisco in capturing the
championships of the different athletic
contests than anything that has been
done in recent years.

sloop Monsoon. in commandfof Commo-

of the race before the course was half
