inches deep, putting in only a few at intervals of fifteen to twenty feet. They immediately take advantage of hiding places under the stones, and are safe.
 In lakes where no predatory fish abound these precautions are unnec- essary and the fry can be planted where aquatic plants are abundant.
 When it is desirable to plant bass in considerable numbers we would recom- mend the advanced fry, feeling. conf- dent that the greater part will survive.
 Since our adult bass spawn three times annually, first spawning in May, second in June, third in July, we offer l. to 2 inch, 2 to inch and 3 to 4 inch fngerlmgs, which represent respective ly the growth of the three spawnings, when they are ready for delivery in October and November.

ONE AND ONE-HALF AND TWO l.. INCH BASS.

They are perfectly developed bass, having all the markings, color and pe- culiar characteristics of the adult and represent healthy, vigorous growth since they rose from spawning nests. As bass of all sizes make no growth after the water temperature falls be- low 50 degrees late in September and early in October, and hibernate during the winter, the period of growth for third spawning is rather short during the first season.

TWO AND THREE INCH BASS.

These fish are carried in nursery ponds until October and November, when the required growth is made. They are vigorous, in splendid condi- tion and are absolutely perfect in ev- cry way. We recommend this size for long distance shipments.

BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE cIRcUM. STANCES WHICH LED TO ITS BUILDING.

II. w. Beeman, proprietor of the Waramaug Bass Hatchery, has about finished for the season the delivery of advanced fry, the young black bass which he has successfully reared in the hatchery at the foot of Lake Wara- maug. Mir Beeman has become one of the best authorities on the young black bass In the United States, and local citizens ought to take pride in his ac- complishments. The extent of Mir Bee mans correspondence and the interest that is being taken by sportsmen in black bass is shown by the following letters:

A LETTER FROM SCOTLAND,

 I..I.. fH ynl

Mir Henry w. Beeman.
 Dear Sir: Prior to my leaving New York this winter l saw your exhibit of small mouthed bass, but at the time l could find no one about to give me any information. A friend of mine has large sheet of water that l think would suit bass in every way, some gravel in parts and mud and weeds and lily pads in the rest. The fish are all the coarse fish perch, dace and the native jack, quite similar to our pick. erel, so that there would be plenty of food of all kinds. Would 1t be possible to bring live bass over here? What would be the cost of delivering per thousand? The place is Coombe Ab- bey, belonging to the Earl of Craven near Rubky in Warwickshire. They could be put in the water the same day they left the steamer as Rugby is on the main line from Liverpool. Will you kindly send me some information on the matter to my bankers address, J. P. Morgan & Co.,, 22 Oldl Broat street, London.

Capt. Kelly. assistant engineer conf
missioner OF the District of Columbia, has
informed the Commissioners that the re-
pairs at the Central High School to af-
ford better fire protection. which Princi-
pal Wilson recently asked. have been
made. The report states that the four
foot door from cloakroom d. which was
nailed. has been put into service and that
an additional door four feet wide leading
to the yard on the boys side has been
provided as an additional exit.
Conditions at the school were called to
the attention OF the Commissioners the
latter part Of October by letter from
Principal Wilson to Secretary Line of tho
your attention two conditions in the
Central High School which ! believe
shou be remedied in order To make the
building perfectly safe in case OF fire.
Mr.. Wilson wrote. I'D The only door
from cloakroom y leading from that end
of the basement to the first (main) floor
is narrow one. This room is filled with
girls at the beginning of the recess and
at the close of school A fire at that time
or any cause which would rompt the
girls to leave the room hurriedly could
easily result in injury. This door should
be widened."
Principal Wilson then stated that for
a total of ten years he and Mr.. Hughes.

this matter to the attention of the repair
department of the District and nothing
had been done. He also suggested that
as classroom 81 had only one door lead
ing into the corridor and that half of the
door opened outward, against the step OF
the north stairs from the third to the
second floor, thus preventing a perfectly
free passage down that stairway, an adj
ditional door be made.
Principal Wilson said today the doors
had been completed and that they arc
giving satisfaction.

BATHTUB FOR THEODORE, JR.
Ordered After He Upset Tin Basin
and Soaked a Rug.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, November Ia
These bath fixtures are for Theodore
Roosevelt. jr.. and will be installed by US
in his apartments in Thompsonville."
The information more or less artist
ically conveyed by a large placard in tho
window of Harrison avenue plumbing
establishment. attracted an all-day crowd
that gave rise to the impression that a
bargain sale was in progress in the nor
mally quiet thoroughfare.
From unquestionable sources it was
learned that the Presidents son has
found taking his matutinal bath In a
large tin basin a serious discomfort in
learning the carpet business from the top
to bottom. The limit came the other
m orning when Theodore. jr., fell over tho
basin. thereby precipitating a deluge
which played havoc with the only really
first-class rug in Thompsonville.
The news of he Harrison avenue dis
play was telephoned to Thompsonville
yesterday afternoon and a delegation of
enthusiastic townspeople came to Spring
field on the first trolley car to view The
immaculate enamel equipment which is
fitted with the latest push-button appli-
anceS.
The only discordant note in the verdict
Of unanimous approval was the comment
of an ihcorfigible youth Of fourteen:
Gee! They'll have to build a new house

MOUSE" coLoRED CIGARS.
Latest Discovery Of Connoisseurs in
Havana Smokes.

"Ilave my mouse cigars come in?'
asked a customer of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. tobacconist
mo. there were none in the last lot We
received from the wholesaler" respond
ed the clerk, but we are expecting an
other consignment in few days, and l
will look out for box or two for YOU
"And what are mouse cigars?" the
clerk was asked as the customer de-
parted.
The clerk laughed as he explained:
" Mouse CIGARS he said, ARE in no
way associated with mice except in rela-
ton to their color. AS expert cigar smok-
ers know, to the average man "a cigar Is
simply "a cigar differing merely in the
varying hues of the wrapper, from the
| light straw of the claro to the black ma
duro, and to the average man most cigars
| taste pretty much alike, SO long as he
secures the strength and flavor Of the
weed according to his individual taste.
ITO the connoisseur Of Havana cigars,
however. it is another matter. 1t Is not
the high-priced strong Havana cigat that
| Is necessarily the most fragrant. n a
large consignment of these cigars there
are usually to be found a few boxes Of a
| shade which when held to the light show
a dark brown mouse color. the average
man would pass them by unnoticed but
the critical judge of tobacco and one who
has once smoked box of these mouse
brown cigars seiZes them at once without
asking their price. Indeed, we have stand
ing orders from several Of our customers.
as in this instance. to pick out the boxes
and lay them aside. Their flavor as re-
CARDS tobacco Is as individual and dis
tinct as is the peculiar nut-lke taste OF
sherry wine to the wine drinker, and
once their aroma is enjoyed by a man
who is critical as to what he smokes he
is spoiled as to other f1avors and Is i'm
patient until he gets what he wants.
perhaps their individual flavor is due
| to the dope In the fller?' was sugg asted.
NO replied the clerk, ''it Is due to
the flavor Of the natural leaf, for the
| wrapper of a cigar has much more to do
| with its flavor than the average man
knows. Most Of them think 1t is entirely

an electric motor. In reaching down to
the floor for the wrench Miss Offerings
hair caught in the snafting. There was
a sharp cry, a wrenching NOISE and she
sank to the floor with the blood streaming
down her face. while tangled up in the
gearing were the strands of her ha.r,
still attached to the scalp, which had been
torn from her head. The tear extended
down as low as her eyebrows n front and
reached to the back of her neck

British Postal Statistics.
From the New York Sun

From the New 1Ork SUM-
The British postmaster generals annual
report just issued shows that an average
Of nearly sixty-five letters a year are
received per capita of population in the
British Isles. The number of postal
packets of all sorts delivered was 4.972
070OOO. or an average of 1925 a person.
The limerick competitions and similar
semi-lottery schemes promoted by news
papers have counted for good deal in
the past years postal traffic. The num-
Der Of postal orders issued was 125, 264 900,
an increase Of 221a per cent principally
due to the heavy demand for sixpenny
orders. which people bought to pay the
entrance fee for these competitions
People seem to be getting more forget
full, as the unbelievable packets showed
an increase of over IL per cent. They
contained over $4,000 in cash and notes
and $31S3 600 in checks, money orders
and stamps. Entirely unaddressed were
442.957 packets.

Many cases of weakness of the eyes
have been superinduced by the thought
less habit some persons have of sleeping
on the side of the face SO that the eye
presses against the pillow. The head in
itself Is very heavy. and with the body in
a supine pos. ton there Is much added
weight thrown on the surface of the pill
low. The flesh which covers the bones Of
the face and Uranium does not, of course
feel this pressure to any appreciate ex-
tent. but with the eye. the most delicate
and sensitive organ Of the body, 1t Is an
other matter.
Just this simple but dangerous habit

cases of bad eyes have resisted treatment
until this cause in delaying the cure was
found out and corrected. And it is a

that they may retain their chosen posi-

1.-THE fall and winter seasons are bad for
persons with weak or inlamed eyes.
largely owing to the enhanced atmos-
pheric pressure by reason Of the high
winds and the accumulated dust upon the
smooth asphalt streets which is swept up
at all times more or less in impalpable
quantities and on gusty days in very con-
siderable atoms. The average case of
weak or inf1amed eyes may be benefited
by the use of collyrium as lotion applied
freely to the eye with q glass dropper or
used with the regulation eye cup, espe-
cially at night on retiring allowing the
lotion. which Is soothing and non-irritat-
ing, to dry on the lids. instead of being
hastily wiped off, as in the instance Of
many impatient patients.
Hence. many persons are prone to be-
