CoX, in a reeent issue of the Poultry Review, wrote: ---"Observant people who have charge of horses and cattle know that kinduess U0wi1 to animals always pays. It is possible that some horses that have been badly used may not do tlteir best under a new driver who is gentle in his lan- guage and. does not use the whip to urge them to their work, but it is delightful to see a well-trained Pair of horses in the hands of a sensible driver, who late made the team his friends by his gentle and friendly manner, straighten themselves for a steady pull and an unusually heavy load when the driver speaks mem- agingly to them. You can almoet see their sense of appreciation at what Is expected of them, by the flash ot their eyes as they settle themselves down for an extra show of their strength in anewer to a call of a friendly and encouraging voice. "It is a weliknown fact that a cow will almost immediately show the ef- fects of .harsh and brutal treatiment by a lessening of the milk supplY, and cows that have been. roughly handled in the milking stable will gradually increase the flow of milk after being put under the care Of a kindly attendant. "A hen's brains are not as large as those of a horse or a cow, but they are Just as sensitive to the sort of treat- ment they receive. No hen or flock of hens will do their best if kept in a state of constant fright by rough and noisy treatment. They are pecul- iarly susceptible to quice and unex- pected motions and will be panic- stricken ilt an instmet by a sudden noise or Movement. On the other hand a hen will respond to gentle and kind. ly treatment ani son will become taine enough to be handled without being afraid, "To make one's way into the good graces of a flock of •hens. it is neces- sary to move quietly when in the coop or yard with -them and to keep up a running talk with them. It does not matter what you say—only let it be in n gettle aud reassuring tone, being careful not to frighten them by any sudden movement, especially above their heads. If you will fre- quently take them some dainty morsel from the house or a few worms or lags they will soon be ready to come to you without fear. By keeping a flock of hens thus -happy and content- ed they will lay more eggs for you tuid you will enjoy your work among them." ANOTHER EGG -LAYING CONTEST. At least three American hens and three British hees are in a close rece to be tee first to reach the 200 egg. mark in the first eight months of the National egg laying contest at Mountain Grove, Mo. An American hen has only ten eggs to lay in fif- teen days to make a record of 200 eggs in eight mouths. All these hens lave made a better record so far than Lady Showyou had made at this time last year, The leading pen record. thus far this year is twenty eggs ahead of the leading pen record at this time last year. The English pen of single comb 'White Leghorns is 259 eggs in the lead of its nearest competitor. Two of the his in this pen did not lay an egg in June, and if this continues some of the other pens may yet easily overtake them. June was a scorcher Missoute. Several deaths were reported In. dif- ferent aections of the State as a re- sult orthe beat. It was, of course, also hard on the hens. There were iii broody contest hens in broody coops at one time this month. Thirty eight were put up one day and twettty five anther. and suck a large per cent. benig broody at once cut down the egg yield for June. Other con- tests which had nearly 50 per vent. of their peps composed of Leghorns had less broody hens, of course, and made a little higher average for June. The total yield for June was 10,411 eggs, and the grand total to date is 70,380 eggs. The Leghorns in the North Am- - •erican contest at Storrs, Conn., had made about the gime average up to June 1 as had the Leghorns in the Missouri contest. The larger breeds in Missouri had made averages a little higher than the same breeds in Con- necticut as a rule. At the present time the records are very neeriee the same on the average, NOTES. Hens for hatching and brooding are to be recommended where it is con- venient to use them, for as a rule naturally raised chicks are much more vigorous than artificially rdaised ones Of course, where large „numbers are being raised, or when hatching is being done out of the natural season, artificial means are necessary. When Leghorns, or any of the light- er and more active breeds, are kept in an orchard tiome provision must be made to keep them from flying into and roosting in the trees, or consid- erable diffieulty may be had in get- ting them to winter quarters.

He was Not on the Early Morning 'Yob, But the Kaiser Was. Some time ago the kaiser heard that a captain in one of the guards regiments at Potsdam had fixed the regulation hour of sehooling for his men at te o'clock in the morning., The kaiser, thougb doubting the fitness of such an early hour for the lesson and the ability of the popular young ()Edger to keep up to this rather ex- acting standard of early rising, said nothing, but one day walked into the barrack room at 6 o'cloce. The captain was not there, but the emperor showed neither annoyance nor surprise. He asked where the les- son was to be found in the books, and without more ado, to the mingled anxiety and delight ot the men, he took the lesson in hand and explained the passage in hestory witTor was the subject of the day. It was nearly 7 o'clock when the captain showed him- self. The kaiser returned his salute and made no allusion to his crest- fallen countenance, but handed' him the lesson. book after pointing how far the class had got, and then left the room.

A company has been formed, under the title of the Navarino Bay Salvage Company, to recover the treasure and anything that may be of value, in the ships themselves. The secretary, Mr. E. W.

The salvage of these materials alone should amply repay the venture; but there is also more than a possibility •that the divers will find gold in specie and other forms. Certain notes, written Just before the engagement, and found among the pap. ers of the Egyptian admiral, referred to the money in the possession of the two commanders of the fleet. Muharem Bey, the Egyptian admiral, had in hie vessel two millions of dollars, twenty large bag,3 of money, and ten thousand gold dneats; and the Turkielt admiral, Iliraltim Pasha, stated in a, note that bis ship went down with gold and jewels worth not less than £4,800,000.

Washington, Sept. 14—Important developments in the Mexican situa- tion are expected here in the next two days. To -morrow the bleXieell Congress assembles and there is it hopeful feeling in Washington that President Iluerta in his addreas to that body will ma,ke known that he will not become a candidate for the Presidency in the constitutional elec- tions. There aro fears that patriotic fervor may lead to demonstrations against the -Wilted States. However, adviees to the State Dee Pattment are to the effect that ef- forts of the eluerta Governmeut to make the celebration the occasion for a great patriotic outburst with the ob- ject of showing how strongly General ilueita, anti his Administration, are entrenched In the hearts of the people have not met with success. This leth- argy is interpreted to mean that the Mexican people are tired of the con- tinual warefare and will *welcome peace. Should the celebration of the holiday take on an aspect of silent dis- approval of the Government's 'course officials here will be encouraged to believe that the end of the Mexieatt troubles are in sight and that over- tures for a restoration of normal con- ditions will be welcomed shortly by all factions in the Republic. . Should General Huerta publicly an- nounce that he will not be a eandi- date for President in next month's elections this Government will follow out its course in asking General Huer- ta to give assurances along the line that has been indicated, and that the , mission on which ex -Gov, John Lind was bent to Mexico by President Wil- son bas been successful in the main. With Huerta, out of the Presidential race, the 1J. S. Government will be willing to accept the result of the eleetions. As has been told in these despatches, President Wilson and his advisors are now of the opinion that, as the Merle. Government controls the most populous portion of Mexico, elections held within the Heterta terri- tory will be regarded as being suffi- ciently general to justify the recogni- tion of the President chosen, provided the elections are "fair and free." It is estimated by officials here that four-fifths of the population of Mexico are concentrated within the territory cOntrolled by the Fedora's. While the constitutionalists or revolutionists are in' control of more than half of Mexico the number of people in these sec- tions is said to be only about one- fifth of the entire population, The Wilson Administration has therefore come to the conclusion that elections ill which four-fifths of the voting pop - illation participate may properly be regarded as popular elections. 1 1- A STORMY TRIP U. S. Army Transport Had a Hard Passage. San Francisco, Sept. 14—Escaping from it cyclonic storm, during which the vessel was badly battered and passengers donned life preservers to be ready for emergency. United States Army transport Logan arrived to -day. Ca,ptain George H. Pierce, who for elle last year had been master of the transport Dix, died on the Logan. Ile was put aboardthe vessel at Naga- saki, but soon after died of apoplexy. . Passengers on the troopship give greet credit to Captain Williams. and the - officers of the vessel for the manner in which they handled the big craft during the cyclone, It eVae on the evening of Sept. 2 the storm first broke over the ship. Three hours eater seas began sweeping the decks. The cabins on the starboard side were swept time after time by the seas, and the occupants, including women 'anti ltitle children, began taking re- fuge in companionways. The mizzen truck, that supports the wireless equipment, was snapepd oft and all the equipment wires were torn froni Midi. sockets, putting the system out 'of business. Ventilators were carried -a:Way and several lifeboats damaged. The seas even swept the bridge of the Logan. Officers were 'lashed to their posts of duty. Lying in the trough of the sea the vessel rolled like a cork. 011 in tremendous quanti- ties was thrown overboard and less- ened the thrift° rolling. ' In the saloons little children, sons and daughters of army and navy offe cers, clung sobbing to fathers and mothers. Many women were pray- ; hoe while husbands and fathers, offi- cers in the service, comforted their families. After six hours the ship eecaped from the cyclone, but it was not for two more hours that the vessel re.. eumed her course. t - BURIED "1316 TIM" New York East Side Turn- ed Out in Throngs. :New York, Sept. 13.—"12ie Tim" ,)41l111.
