West Indies, in especial OF the Bacos
islands, near Trinidad, where it
aboupds, is a large fish known to ZOO
logists as the aPagonias chromis, grow
ing to five feet in length, and swim
ming about in shoals. In the gullet
of the fish are three movable plates,
covered with large teeth, and 1t is sup
posed that it is the action OF these
that produces the sounds. AS, of
course, sound travels a great way I'M
der water, the slightest note is dis
tinctly heard by any one on the sur
face.
The fishermen OF the Bay of Pailon
say that it Is white fish with blush
spots on the back, and about ten
inches long, which they catch on the
spot while it Is singing. But as re-
CARDS their statement the great diff
Guilty is that the mere hooking of such
a fish near the surface Is no proof that
1t is the fish which is a melodist, for
the first might have beea swimming
near the surface, while the second,
the real performer, is feeling quietly
at the bottom. Anyhow, it has been
conclusively ascertained that there Is
fish which sings.

STRIVE FOR PLEASANT VOICE
No Part Of the Personality More
e Worthy Of Careful Attention and
Cultivation. gttfss

There is no power of love so hard
to keep as a kind voice; but it is
hard to get it and keep it in the right
tone.
One must start in youth, and be on
the watch night and day, while at
work and while at play to get and
keep a voice which shall speak at all
times the thought of a kind heart.
3 But this Is the time when sharp
voice is more apt to be acquired. You
often hear boys and girls say words at
play with a quick sharp tone, almost
like the snap of a whip. If any of
them get vexed you hear voice which
sounds as If it were made up OF a
snarl, whine, and a bark.
Such q voice speaks worse than
the heart feels. 1t shows more i'll
will in tone than in words. 1t is often
in mirth that one gets voice or a
tone which is sharp. and which sticks
to him through life, and stirs up Ill
will and grief and falls like drop of
gall on the listener.
4 Some people have a sharp home
voice for us and keep their best voice
for those they meet elsewhere. We
would say: use your best voice at
home" f f+
A kind voice is lark's song to heart
and home 1t is to the heart what
light Is to the eye.

Ceylon, the musical fish gives forth
sounds like the gentle thrills OF a
musical chord, or the faint vibrations
OF a wineglass when it's rim is rubbed
by wet tingertip-a multitude OF
tiny sounds, each clear and distinct
in itself, the sweetest treble mingling
with the lowest bass. The fish ap-

heard in the muddy creeks near Bonn

WILL PRODUCE FLESH
Feed Suggested by Prof. Graham Of
Ontario, Is Objectionable Account
Color Resulting.

Prof. W. R. Graham of the Ontario
Agricultural college, says he tnds that
the following ration will produce flesh
economically, but is Objectionable be-
cause it makes the flesh yellow. This
ration is cornmeal, five parts; shorts,
four parts; pearloat dust, one part:
animal meal, one part; cost $1.10 per
cwt. II
He finds that ration made up Of
two parts cornmeal, ground buck
wheat, two parts, and pearl-oat dust.
one part; at, a cost Of $1.23 cwt., is
one that makes nice, white flesh at a
very moderate cost.
Birds should be fed lightly at the
beginning very important point.
and the amount gradually Increased
until the birds refuse to eat all that is
given them. No food should be left
in front Of the birds longer than ten
minutes after it is placed in the
trough.

sidered, as it aids digestion.

being that the flesh becomes tainted

SURE DEATH TO ALL INSECTS
Homemade Torch Shown In llustra-
ton Should Find Place on Every g
Farm-Used for Many Things.

The homemade torch herewith illus.
trated, or one similar in construction,
should find a place on every farm,
says the Homestead. Such torches
are for sale in hardware stores, but
the prices asked for them seem rather
high, and then they are mostly used
by painters and the average farmer
seldom If ever gets sight Of one OF
them. To make the torch shown In
the cut, secure any stout can that
will hold pint or more, preferably
an old oil can with a handle, drill a
hole In the center and place short
piece Of one-fourth-inch iron pipe In
the hole as shown. It should extend
10 within half an inch Of the bottom
Of the can and project above the top
about three or four inches. Place a
cap on the top and drill several very
small holes in same. There should be
about five holes, with one in the top
Of the can. Make the holes one-thirty-S
second or one-sixteenth of an inch in
diameter. Fill the pipe with candle
wicking and fasten tightly in place.
It should be soldered. FIJI can about

pipe with small blaze. If the wealth
er is not too cold this can be done
with matches. The heat forms gas
in the can which forces itself up
through the wicking, and when lighted
makes strong light and a very hot
blaze. This can be used for many
things on the farm. For instance. no
better device has been invented for
cleaning old paint from any surface,
such as buggies, wagons, or the walls
Of the house. 1t Is sure death to all
insect life in the poultry house. Go
over all cracks with the blaze and
eggs and nits will be killed as well
as the insects. It makes good light
and will Withstand strong breeze. A
tap or nut that cannot be otherwise
removed will at once come off on be-
ing heated with the torch. In short,

FISH MAKES SWEET SOUNDS
Specimen of the Finny Tribe, but
S5 Cannot Name It.

In no class Of the animal kingdom
are there so many curious examples
as that which comprehends the tinny
tribes of sea, lake and river. OF these
there is none more remarkable than
the so-called musical fish.
I, II there is one common character
istic of all marine animals more note
worthy than another it is their abso-
Lutte silence, or voicelessness. The
only exception to this Is the fish that
sings. It's music is only heard at
night, or in the evening after the sun
has set, and particular places appear
to be frequented by the fish, for on
sailing away from them the sound be-
comes inaudible, and on returning it
is heard again. In long notes, low
and clear and perfectly distinct, the
sounds always seem to come up from
the surface of the water.

which form prominent feature of an
insular landscape. Year after year ia
theirs and sons have gone out upon the
white capped waters of the gulf for
the cod, mackerel and lobster on
which their livelihood depends. An
cient language and customs prevail
among these people, and the spinning
wheel and hand loom still provide
homespun for both men and women.
Hard and Precarious Existence.
In seasons when the fishing is good
the average Magdalener makes suf-
ficient money to supply his wants. In
poor years they sometimes suffer dire
distress. During the Great Misery"
in the winter of 1882, and again in
1897, food became SO scarce that the
Canadian government was obliged to
send supplies to the islands to prevent
a famine.
The inhabitants Of the Magdalens
are completely isolated from the world
for six months in the year In the sum-
mer a small steamer subsidized by the
government plies semi-weekly between
the islands and the mainland of Nova
Scotia During the long winters this
service must be abandoned. and per-
sons on the island remain there I'M
til the boat resumes it's trips in the
spring.
The telegraph gives them the news
that is going on in the world during
their isolation, but Of course there
can be no exchange of letters. Some
times this mode OF communication
fails, as in 1910, when the cable to
the mainland broke and could not be
repaired for weeks. The natives in
this instance resorted to very ancient
methods. A heavy barrel Containing
80 or 40 letters sealed in cans was
dropped overheard in the waters Of
the gulf and trusted fate. Ten days
afterWard the tide carried it to the
mainland 60 miles away and the let.
tiers were sent to their addresses. I'M;
fortunately the southern drift Of the
gulf prevented any answers from be
ing sent in reply.

WHEREIN DADDY WAS WRONG
Tommy Resented Injustice Done to
Saw, After He Had Proved
Its Temper.

Mr.. A., who was planning to
build an outdoor sleeping porch at the
back of his house, had an expensive
new saw sent home from a hardware
store. He left his office early the next
afternoon. with the intention Of get
ting the porch well under way before
dinner; and, as he. was very much In
terested in doing the work himself, he
donned a pair of overalls and went at
it in good spirits. An hour or so later
he came tramping into the. house. his
face dark with evaporation. and flung
himself down in disgust.
THAT new saw l bought isn't worth
five. cents" he stormed. Why. the
thing won't cut butter!"
His small son Tommy looked up In
vide-eyed surprise
"On, yes. it would. daddy" he said.
earnestly; why. Ted and | sawed
whole brick in two with it just this

Two parts bran. one part corn meal,
one part alfalfa meal. and one part

Ducks that are Matched in an 1ncu-
bator can be cared for the same as
those Matched by hens or ducks in the
natural way.
Goose eggs will hatch In an incubat-

less the incubator Is especially built
for that purpose.
The Leghorns. Minorcas or any OF
the breeds OF the Mediterranean class
are nonsitters and are bred for the

One fatal mistake made at the end
of the hatch is to keep the door OF the
incubator open too long after the eggs
have begun to pip.

and constant attention, the same as
any other business. First efforts ara
