HOW HE susJuoA-Ep HIS HENS.

Through many weary years, In many

sas. come colncident reports OF signs
of revolt among hens. The eastern
case Is reported by man living near
Boston who liked to eat eggs and
found their market price unduly high,
so he decided to keep hens to supply
mis- table. He bought fifty hens ana
made careful provision Of modern and
scientific housing for them, and fed
them according to the pest precepts
oi the doctors in hen culture The
| hens all appeared to be satisils--

| they didn't lay any eggs. Such ingrat

shooting all his hens, thinking he

He bought pistol and fifty cartridges
and went out into his henIhouse to
slay, but he was "a poor shot, and when
he had fred all his cartridges only two
hens had been killed and four NOR

Workmanship, the next day he armed
himself with a shotgun and again went
into the hen house. where to his
amazement he found every surviving

slaughter. After that. whenever the
product slackened, he would walk

SOME DOCTORS WHO WERE
MARTYRS.

Professor Metchnikoff of the Pas
teur institute at Paris has been max
ing an impassioned plea for the mem.
ory Of martyrs of science.
When Koch discovered the cholera
microbe the older specialists OF the
disease were loath to accept it. Pet.
tenkofer went SO far as to swallow a
quantity of the microbes and averred
he had only slight summer com.
plant as a consequence. Koch and
the Pasteur people had to prove In II
human subject that the microbe was
the real cause OF the cholera epidemic
modified In individuals by personal
and local conditions. 90 they went to
work experimenting on themselves.
DR.. Thuillier. who was Pasteurs ia
vorite pupil, was among the most zeal
GUS. He had already discovered the
microbe Of hog measles. He headed
an expedition to Egypt, whore cholera
wss ripe for his experiments 1t was
too strong for him. He died OF its
worst form within forty hours. Since
then cholera has been kept back from
Europe, thanks to medical precaution
and care.
Semmelsiss was young Vienna doc
tor 28 years old. He discovered that
puerperal fever was contagious, and
could be avoided by absolute clean
liness. His own professor refused to
believe, prevented his election TO the
medical chair that was coming to him.
and he had to leave for Budapest, his
native city. He took the opposition of
doctors so to heart that he went crazy
and died In an asylum at 47. He had
proved his theory-which has saved
millions Of mothers lives. Budapest
is now building him monument.

CANADIAN PACIFIC Plans
CANOE Freight ROUTE
Mining Camps in the Montreal Region
Are Suffering For Food.

MONTREAL, March 24.-That the
new camps of the Montreal river re-
gion are to be given railway accom-
mediation is now an assured thing.
1t is officially announced by the Cana
dian Pacific that the company to pre-
vent the suffering and possible famine
that is threatened in the new mining
region, had decided as soon as frost
breaks, to open a canoe freight route
from a point on the Canadian Pacific
railroad line, 35 miles west Sudbury,
to Gowganda. The center of the min
ing region will be by this route %
miles nearer Toronto, than by way of
Charlton, on the Temiskaming &
Northern Ontario railway.
The company will have some hun
dreds of canoes, and launches at work
there being long stretches of lake nav
igation on which launches can be
used. The portage number less than
half the number encountered between
Elk City and Gowganda. The COM
pany will put horses on the long por-
tages to facilitate quick transporta-
ton. One of the most favorable feat
ures of the route is that there is no
upstream work. The Montreal river
is struck in its highest reaches, and
followed throughout its course The
route is by way of Duncans lake, Shin
ing Tree lake and Wapoose river.
The tidings from the north are
dreadful, showing fearful suffering
from the cold and lack of food. A
couple of weeks ago tidings of a large
number of Indians found dead from
starvation and cold, and now an in
spector of trading posts comes in from
the Hudson Bay region, telling of Is
degrees below zero, and Y Indians
dead from a strange disease at Fort
Chippewa and several hundred in the
four posts of the Hudson Bay company
in the Mackenzie river district. There
are nine other posts in the district
which will not be heard from until the
river opens up and the last advices
from there were early in October and
already the scourge had started. Hun
tiers on the trail were suddenly strick-
en- with it and trappers in the bush
are seized, with fatal results within
a few hours.
