But Not Hia Foreoaatle. aa the Sea : Captain Found Out The ship had dropped anchor in the lower bay, and the captain was nervously pacing the deck waiting for the owner's tug. A man hailed the ship from a rowboat and said he was coming on board. The cap tain recognized him as a boarding house runner and ordered him off. The runner insisted. The minute you come over the rail of this ship I'll shoot you like a dogl" yelled the captain. "You'll hang for it if vou do!" yelled the man, making his boat fast to the ship s side. Aly ship's my home, and I d have as much right to kill you as a man on" shore would to kill a burirlar." continued the captain. "That's the instructions I got from the owners on my last trip." Just then the owners tug arrived, and the runner took to his oars. "Wouldn't I have had a right to shoot him if he'd insisted on coming on board asked the captain. The owner had consulted his attorney since the captain had been in port before and had to modify his orders. The Jaw is not what we im agined," he said. "The ship is not your home, but your yard. You can defend your cabin as if it were your house. The forecastle is as another building in your yard, the quarters for your servants. You can't keep their friends out by force. New York Tribune.

A characteristic story of Stephen Girard was that he induced a boy to work for him till he was 21 years old by promising to give him a good start in life afterward. When the time came, the young man applied for the promised reward. The ec centric old merchant looked at him for a moment and then said gruffly, "Go and learn a trade." Consider ably cast down, for he had expected a very different sort, the young man turned away, but alter some renec tion, knowing something of the other's peculiarities, he decided to do as he had been bidden ana learn ed the cooper's trade. When he had mastered it a year or so later, be presented himself again, and the old man gave nun an order for two barrels. He made and delivered them, and Mr. Girard examined and praised them. "Now: he said, "you have a capital that you cannot lose, for you can always jail back on your trade if you meet with adversity." and then he advanced his protege a considerable capital with which to- start in business. Why Spider Are Not Insects. The spider is not an insect, though probably nine people out of ten would class it under this term. With scorpions and mites spiders form a class in the animal kingdom known as arachnida. This name is derived from a mythical personage called Arachne, the daughter of a purple dyer of Lydia, who waa fabled to have challenged Minerva to a trial of skill in SDinning. So indignant was the goddess at this act of boldness that she lorthwitn transformed the hapless challenger into a spider, presumably in order that she might have the best possi ble opportunity of practicing the art on which she prided herself so much. Spiders differ from insects in five main particulars. Their eyes are simple instead of compound, they have eight legs in place of six, they do not pass through the metamor phoses which are characteristic- of insects, they hsve no antennae, and their breathing is accomplished by means of organs which combine the functions of lungs and gills, instead of by tubes pervading their bodies. These points of distinction are suffi cient to determine the fact that it is impossible to class spiders as insects. Exchange. Holland Keeee Okt Ocesn at Bay.

Most farmers In this section kill their calves when a day or two old and sell the hides for 00 cents or $1, according to size and weight, while the mother's milk must go to the pigs for some time, as It Is not fit for butter or cheese. Now why not adopt the practice that Is be ginning to come In vogue here of feed' lng this milk to calves until fit for use anywhere, then giving warm, sweet skimmllk. with a little finely ground grain mixed In as the calf grows old er? Soon one will have an animal on hand with a decided market value. Calves must be kept dry If they are to thrive, and a run on the ground In the open air is as good for them as an occasional tonic la for their owners.

Alfalfa Batllait. A late Colorado bulletin of farm notes gives some tests made of alfalfa as an ensilage plant. "One test," says the bulletin, "was made with the alfalfa put In whole as cut In the field, the other with the alfalfa cut to quarter Inch pieces, as we cut our corn for en silage. The whole alfalfa showed a spoiled layer three Inches thick on the top and an Inch layer around the side nearly all the way down. The ensilage of the bottom and middle was excellent and was greedily eaten by the cows and calves. Its loss In the total weight was 10.7 per cent, but Its loss In feed ing value was probably a little larger. "The other alio was filled with cut alfalfa. The next day tbesilo was covered with two thicknesses of build ing ' paper and one of boards snd weighted with stone to about 65 pounds per square foot. When covered, the ensilage was hotter than the band could bear. Two days later the tem perature bad fallen to 83 degrees and In two days more It had fallen to that of the. air. The ensilage shrank and settled a good deal. When put In, it contained 33 per cent of dry matter. On opening, the silo showed two Inches of spoiled ensilage on top and half aa inch on the sides.

The raising of Pekln ducks for mar ket Is succeHgfully and profitably con ducted on many largo farms In the cantern part of this country. There are many plants marketing every sea son from 10,000 to 40,000 ducklings. They are scattered from Norfolk, Va., to Bangor, Me., and all are each year called upon to face ah Increasing do maud. The lurgest consumers are found among the best hotels', the blgb priced restaurants, railroad (lining cars, clubs and summer resort hotels. Tbe wealthy classes In tbe large cities, the coast wise and transatlantic steamers, are all steady purchasers from the begin ning to tbe end of tbe season, the gen eral public Indulging only at Intervals, as It does In tbe case of any luxury, which this may be properly called, ow ing to the comparatively high prices at which they are sold. The masses cannot afford to pay the retailer 20 cents per pound for ducklings. The business of raising l'ekln dncli llnpi on a large scale Is one of conxld enible detail.

Ducks and Geese. n.Blah Export of Ebb. In 1805 we scarcely knew Denmark as an etrg producer, but In that year was founded the first DiiiiIhIi co-opera tlve society for the export of eggs. The same system which had succeeded with butter was now to be applied to eggs. Tbe country was divided up Into dis tricts. Each district bad lu some rail way station a collecting depot, snd all members of the society were bound to deliver three times a week at the depot. Tbe depot agent refused or bad a right to ref uae all eggs more than four days old, and every producer of each station bad a distinct number branded on the egg. Thus In the event of an egg proving bad tbe depot which shipped It would be proceeded against, and by means of the distinctive number the depot sgent would lie able to detect tbe producer, on whom tbe loss would finally fall. By tbus guaranteeing absolute fresh ness sod making good any occasional loss tbe Danes established a blgb standard aud so created a continuous demand. And what Is tbe result? In 1805, the first year of the experiment, tbere were established alx local egg societies, with an aggregate of 2,000 members; In 1000 tbere were actually no fewer than 837 separate eo-oiera tlve Hoclctlea, wltb a total membership of 130,000 producers!

The Geological Survey is about lo issue a complete report on the coal production of the United States lor the calendar year 1900, which shows that this country leads the world in coal production, notwithstanding the strikes in the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania end the Cumber land region of Mary land, which caused a large fulling off.

Slate Department otlicials do not credit the report that Germany is trying to acquire an island off the coast of Cuba near Nuevitaa. They point out that the treaty of peace ceded small outlying inlands, and that in case a small island is 'owned by a private citizen of Spain, as is said to be the case in this negotia tion, this private citizen could not transfer it in such a manner that sovereignty would attach. The War Department is ac cumulating a valuable set of photo graphs for the pictorial history of the campaign in the Philippines. Those photographs come from Man ila, where officers have been engag ed in a systematic effort to maintain a photographic record of important events and current happenings in the Philippines. If the system already begun are continued, the United States in its next war, will have a well trained' body of civilians upon whom to draw for service as naval oflicers. Two oflicers of the naval reserve at New Jersey have been assigned to regular duty with Admiral Higgin son's squadron. Their assiginent is for one week in each case, during which time they will perform watch and other duty and subject to the regulations of the nary. The ac tion in these cases, which was taken at the personal request of the oflicers concerned, establishes a precedent in the assignment of naval militia men to regular service on board men of war. Secretary Hoot has received an un usual complaint from George Wads- ortli, of Mellwood, Nebraska, charging the government with being responsible for depriving him of the society of his wife by sending her to the Philippines as a school-teacher. It seems that the lady, who was formerly a school-teacher, became tired of matrimonial joys and secur ed one of the Philippine appoint ments and departed for her post be fore her husband knew anything about ber Intentions. n speaking of the adulteration of food and food products in a publi cation soon to be issued.

A "legation court has been planned for Washington city. The scheme is to so arrange the foreign ministers' buildings as to adroit of a large square or court in the center containing walks, lawns, fountains and statuary. A library building common to all the legations, where documents and archives may be kept, is also suggested. Tbe pro posed legation buildings will be en tirely detached from - each other, with ample space for side and front lawns, and all will open into the park or court in the center. The cost will be defrayed oy turning over to tbe builders for several years the amounts allowed by . the Got- j enneats for rental purposes. China ill be the first to build.

Exports of American products to Porto Rico in the fiscnl year just ended were, according to the figures of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, more man tnree times as great as they averaged when Porto Rico was unuer tne opanisn nag and more than 50 per cent, in excess of those prior to the enactment of the Porto Uican tariff law which went into ef fect May 1, 1900.

The Industrial Commission yes: tcrday made public a summary of a report of industrial combinations in Europe by Prof. J. Jenks, the com mission's expert on industrial com binstions. The roport says that everywhere in Europe, notably in Germany and Austria, there is strong tendency toward the forma tion of these combinations. In Germany and Austria their extent and powor probably are as' great as in the United States. In England, within the lnt-t three years, a very active movement has set in toward concentration of Industry into large single corporations in form similar to those in the United States. The movement in t France is very evi dent, though the managers of tbe combinations are not inclined, in view of the severe provisions of tbe French code, to let their movements appear in public.
