FIGHTING SEA-SICkNESS

 So, at least, says the inventor of the apparatus; but the ordinary indi- vidual will probably shae his doots. He has heard the same story before.
 For instance, there was the famous anti-sea-sick steamer, Bessemer, with it's adjustable swinging saloon,' which, it was intended, should always preserve horizontal floor. As mat. ter of fact, the Bessemer rolled worse than any tramp.
 Yet another attempt to overcome the evil was that made by French man named Bazin. In effect, his idea was to construct steamer on wheels Not paddle wheels, be it understood but semi-submerged hollow steel discs which should roll partly through and partly over the water, bearing the yes sel with them.

Duck on the Window Sill Known to Many PeopIe

This is the history of the duck in the window:
 My father, Dr. Clymer, surgeon, U. s. N, on his return from the Asiat- ic coast brought with him some very beautifully colored ducks. which he purchased in Ceylon.
 "On the trip oyer, whether from change in climate or difference in food or exposure aboard ship. all died but one drake, and he arrived iri H street in good health. He lived with us happily and contented for two years, occupying the back yard, where he had large pond filled by a natural spring.
 When Alexander R. Shepherd put in the deep street sewers our pond ran dry, and our drake then became sad and pitifully melancholy, and one day we found him dead.
 We called in a taxidermisf l1a,' him treated, and placed him in the front window, always looking toward his native home. And when, he faded out of existence we placed another therein memorian. He or his reD. resentative has been in the front ofi l617 H street for Al years. z

HENS if1Af hA.olr ri5fi

As is generally known, a big quanti ty of fish spawn is annually lost. To aveid this, fish rearers in China care. fully collect spawn from the surface of the water, and when they have se- cured a sufficient quantity they take a number of hens eggs, the contents of 9s shsch have been carefully emptied through small aperture, and refill the shells with the spawn. The holes are then sealed up, and the eggs put under broody hens.
 The hens are allowvd to incubate the eggs for a certain number of days, when the eggs are again broken and their contents put into water that has been previously warmed by the sun. In very short space of time the spawn hatches, and the young fry are then kept in pure, fresh water until they attain a sufficient size to be put into the ponds containing old CT fish. The Chinese have long under stood all the intricacies of incubation, and were amongst the first to use i'm cubators for the matching of hens GEES, long before such machines were made in this country, At one time considerable business was done in this style of spawn matching Week ly Scotchman.

LAKE DRIES, THEN REPTILES


 Near Lorrach, in the Black Forest, is the strangest lake in the world. It is called the EicHener See, and is per fectly dry for from ten to thirteen years at a time, after which periods subterranean springs refill the lake without any previous warning, flooding and destroying any crops that have been planted The soil inthe bed of the lake is very productive, but the farmers and peasants never know in what year their work will be useless and their young crops drowned. A few weeks ago the Kitchener See, after having been dry for the last ten years, began refilling with water, which in the deepest part is now fifteen feet, the average depth being twelve feet The waters of the lake generally Fe- main year or two, and then gradual ly disappear into the earth, leaving 9 rich soil behind.

FINDS HORNET IS AGENTLE''
English Mayor Tells of Discovering Cottage Where They Are Kept
 tn Hives Like Bees.

Wasps occasionally have been heard of as pets, but it has been reserved for Major Hurlstone Hardy to discover that the hornet is "a gen. tle,( inoffensive creature very suitable for9 9a pet" Writing in Knowledge, he states that, when walking down Chis' wick>lane many years ago, he discov' cred hornets busy around four straw 1. .hives1in the front garden of a cot { sas issezrs -"- says, "and asked tne lproprietor ret me observe them. Found that he kept the hornets foi pets and that he had no bees. He Hftel up hive and let me observe the dQeen at work. He said that he felt nq danger whatever"
 NMajor Hardy adds that he personal. ly>has mo fear whatever of these in. n9cent and useful creatures, who seem quite willing to share our dwellings wish us if encouraged to do SO.
 It may be recalled that MT. Bates in his account of his experience on the Amazon states that at first he killed hornets which flew near his face. But having observed them closely and not ed that they killed stinging flies, bouncing upon them as the. flies at tempted to bit him, he let them alone, and was rather glad of their company.
 It is suggested that the time may come when every well-regulated household will keep it's hornet to deal with flies. as it now keeps it's L.g dog to guard against burglars.

He Found Out What the Yellow Flag Was

TT IS notorious that street railway \ companies in Washington, as in oth- CT cites, have a good deal to trouble with rail joints and with the street paving along the rails. The pound ing wheels and tho vibration Of the track seem able to break down or break up almost any kind of pave ment which the railroads lay.

DOUBLE KILLING AT FIT. MOTTE-
Joe Hane, Colored, Shoots His
Brother and Woman.

st. Matthews, July 14.-A mes
sage from Fort Motto tonight gives
the details of one of the most brutal
killings ever perpetrated in this
county. At l o'clock this morning,
it is alleged, Joe Hane, colored,
marched his brother, Richard Hane,
and a woman by the name of Bertha
Caldwell, from his house, out behind
the barn, at the point of a pistol and
shot them both dead on the spot 1t
seems that Hane's father was sent
to the Asylum some years ago, where
he died. Since that time Joe Hane
has been the manager of the rented
premises. He claimed that his BROTH
er, Richard Hane, was messing too
much in his affairs" His reason for
numbering the woman, according to
his own statement, is that he was
afraid of her poisoning him. After
sending these people to their death
he drove to Fort Motto, looked up
Major Crouch and told him he want
ed him to phone for Sheriff Hill and
Magistrate Prickett. Hane is now
in Jail.

HAD DEATH WARNING.
Business Mans PremOnition of Com
ing Fatality Verified on Way Home.

John Huesselmans, superintendent
of a lumber yard in Harrison, n. j.,
started home after a day of intense
worry through fear of impending dis
aster. His premonition caused sew
eral of the workmen to deride him.
John Bissell, of Newark, led in the
scoffing.
AS Hueselmans was passing 40
foot high pile of heavy timbers Bis
sell, who was at work on top, uttered
warning cry and leaped to the
ground. AS he did so the great bulk
of LUMBER swayed and toppled over.
Hueselmans was buried beneath the
mass, and was instantly killed. Bis
sell, by his leap, avoided the crumb-
ling pile and landed just beyond the
timbers. The fall, however resulted
in his receiving numerous fractures,
and he was removed in a critical con-
dition to st. Michael's Hospital
A crowded trolley car was passing
the lumber yard at the time. The
passengers, many of them workmen
on their way home, rushed to the
spot and began moving the timbers.
1t was half an hour before Huesel-
mans mangled body was extricated.

1.-The Ten Demandments."

The following "demandments
were writer by a man who employs
a large number of men:
|. Don't lie. 1t wastes my time
and yours. 1 am sure to catch you in
the end, and that is the wrong end.
2. Watch your work, not the clock.
A long days work makes long day
short; and a short days work makes
my face long.
8. Give me more than l expect and
l will give you more than you expect.
l can afford to increase your pay if
you increase my profits.
+. You owe so much to yourself
you cannot afford to owe anybody
else. Keep out of debt or keep out
of my shops.
). Dishonesty is never an accident.
Good men like good women never
see temptation when they meet it.
6. Mind your business, and in time
you will have a business of your own
to mind.
I. Don't do anything here which
hurts your self-respect. An employee
who is willing to steal for me is will
ing to steal from me.
s. 1t is none of my business what
you do at night. But if dissipation
affects what you do next day, and
you do half as much as I demand
you'll last half as long as you hoped
9. Don't tell me what I'd like to
hear, but what I ought to hear.
don't want valet TO my vanity, but
one for my money.
10. Don't kick if I kick. If you're
worth correcting you're worth while
keeping. I don't waste time cutting
specks out of rotten apples.

Where Our Farmers Stand.

The announcement that the United
States ranks seventeenth among the
nations of the world in relative pro-
ductive crops, but emphasizes how
far behind the times are our farming
methods. Belgium grows twice as
much to the acre as we do, and nearly
all the European countries surpass
us. So do New Zealand and Canada.
There is no doubt that our lands are
naturally as fertile and productive
as anywhere in the world. European
countries have learned from expert
ence the absolute necessity of con-
serving soil fertility; in this country
our methods of cultivation are soil
exhaustion, and that condition as a
general rule still obtains. lifetime has
come when this tendency must be re-
versed or the United States, with its
constantly growing population, will
shortly find itself dependent upon the
outside world for food supply. Recog-
nizing this fact, the states and the
federal government are alike putting
forth laudible efforts to disseminate
knowledge of scientific agriculture.
In the redoubling of the common
veal, "The farmers" said Daniel
Webster, ARE the founders of human
civilization" Certain it is that maxi
mum prosperity for the tillers of the
soil spells maximum prosperity for
the country at large, and nothing
short of it does.
