A most noted pigeon roost in the West
is located in the southwestern part of
Scott county, Ind, and covers many
hundreds of acres of the forest. To this
roost come nightly, in the fall season,
when pigeons are abundant, millions of
these birds. They commence arriving
as early as o'clock in the evening, and
often until midnight the focks pour in.
The birds commence leaving at daylight,
and by or 8 o'clock all have departed
for the feeding grounds, often hundreds
of miles away.
During the roosting season this pigeon
roost is notable and exciting place.
Hunters visit it from all parts of In
diana, and from Ohio and Kentucky.
They come armed with shotguns and
long poles, and supplied with torches
and sacks, the latter to be used in carry
ing off the captured birds. The hunters
usually commence their work about
8 o'clock in the evening, and thence on
through the night the scene is an ex-
citing one. The roar of shotguns is heard
on all sides. Added to this is the crack
ing and falling of the limbs of the trees
from the accumulated weight of the
pigeons upon them. Torches flash on
all sides through the forest, the crash of
the poles through the lower limbs of the
trees as they sweep down the birds, the
shouts of the hunters and the whir of the
wings of the rising and settling focks
create confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
Thousands of birds are killed nightly,
and during the day droves of hogs roam
the woods to fatten on the killed and
wounded birds left on the ground during
the nights foray. At intervals of many
years the pigeons change their roosting
place, but never locate far away from the
former roost. The Scott county roost has
been famous resort for more than so
years. Near this roost the most noted
Indian massacre that ever occurred in
this part of the State took place in Sep
TENDER, 1912. A party of marauding
Pottowatomies, out on the war-path, at
tackled the pigeon-roost settlement, at
that time the most remote in this direc-
ton from the Falls of the Ohio, and
murdered all the settlers but five-two
members of the family of John Collins
and Mrs. Beadle and her two small chill
dren-Mrs. Beadle flying with the chill
dren in her arms and secreting herself
and them in a sink-hole till the Indians
had gone, when she took the children in
her arms and ran to the nearest settle
ment, six miles, and gave the alarm.

A M,Ik.Whfte. Pink. Eyed Raven.

Scarcely less rare than black tulip, q
red-haird negro or u four leaved sham
rock, is the amazing natural curiosity
now being exhibited in the Berlin Aqua
rum, to the material augmentation of
that admirable institutions daily re-
ceipts. A milk-white raven, with pale
pink eyes and red legs, received admis-
sion week ago to the great central
aviary in which scores of beautiful birds
futter and chirp and build their nests in
comparative freedom, but his presence
there spread such general panic among
the remaining inmates of the rOliere that
it has been found necessary to remove
him to separate cage. Strange as it may
seem, the other birds instinctively recog-
nized that this corvine albino was alb
normal, and therefore terrible. Many
of them became total abstainers from
food and drink through sheer fright
while he shared their quarters, and hud-
died together, shivering, at as great a
the limits of their prison would permit
them to attain. In all respects. save his
extraordinary hues, the raven is as other
ravens. His appetite is apparently insa-
table, and he ministers to it with for
midable beak. Neither in tone nor in
delivery is there any unsual mellowness
about his croak. His pink eyes could
not be more steadfastly engaged in con-
templating the main chance where they
as yellow as FURNISHED gold. He was
found, with a brood of coal-black broth
ers and sisters, in nest built by his
parents-whose surprise at his peculiar
appearance must have been considerable
ON the topmost branch of an old tree
in the Georgenthal, valley in Thurin-
gen. Double an anachronism, this snow
white raven is at present one of the
"lions" of the German capital.

In st. Nicholas we find an article de.
scribing lacrosse, the India pastime
which has become the national game of
Canada and which is every year becom-
ing more popular. The magazinist says:
Lacrosse is played on a level, grassy
field like base ball ground. The
things used in game are a rubber ball,
about eight inches in circumference,
four light poles or fag-staffs, each about
six feet long, and bat oc ''crosse" for
each player. The field for boys game
should be about one hundred and thirty
yards long, and about forty yards wide
The four poles are in pairs, and should
have flags at the top in colors; say, two
in blue, and two in white. The two
poles of pair are set up in the ground
about six feet apart, the white flags at
one end of the field and the blue at the
other, the two "colors" being about one
hundred and twenty yards apart. These
form the goals, and the players should
wear some kind of cap or uniform in the
same colors as the goals, say half the
players in white caps or shirts. and half
in blue. The poles and flags can be
made at home, the bats cost about one
dollar each, and any good rubber sponge
ball may be used.
The game is led by two captains Sc
lected from all the boys, and, to decide
disputes, there may be also two umpires.
Each captain. beginning with the eldest,
takes turns in selecting his team from all
the boys, each choosing twelve, making
twenty six in the game. The two cap
tains do not play, and have no bats; their
duty is to start the game, to look after
their sides, to watch the ball, and tell
their own players what to do. The UNI
pires merely look on from the edge of
the field, one near each goal. The senior
captain places his men in this order; first
one in front of the opposite goal, second
one short distance in advance of him,
third still further in advance, and a
fourth at the center of the field. At the
home goal he also places one man, a few
yards in advance of the flags,
The remaining players are placed at the
sides of the third and fourth boys. Then
the other captain does the same thing,
and the field is filled by the twenty-four
players in pairs, except two on each side.
Thus, the two sides are distributed over
the entire field. The rules of the game
say there must be no kicking nor pulling
to get at the ball, nor must it be once
touched by the hands. The game is to
start the ball from the center, and to
throw it between the blue flags. Each
side tries its best to defend its own color,
and to get the ball into the enemy's goal.
A player may pick the ball up on his
crosse, or catch it on the fly, or the re.
bound, and he may, if he can, run with
it on the crosse and throw it into the
goal.

Uncle Nose.

Old Uncle Nose, of Galveston, was not
noticed near the polls on election day,
consequently colored striker was sent
to hunt him up. He was found sitting
by the fire, grooming dismally, in his
cabin.
"Uncle Nose, has yer voted yet p
asked the colored rounder.

Here is dollar to pay you for your

The odd man secured the subsidy, re-
marking: "Ef you is comm de bull

He pulled and asked.
"Gwine to gimme annuder pull when

"Yes, take annuder pull right now.

So the old man pulled again and want

Mans SeIf.Importance.

Mrs. Jameson, in more instances than
one, shows her belief in self-importance
being mans prime quality. Here is one
thing that breathes hard spirit
personal vanity in q man is sheer,
unmingled egotism, and an unfailing
subject of ridicule and contempt with
all women, be they wise or foolish"
The countess of Blessington, who was
almost as wise as she was handsome, has
left few outspoken opinions, of which
one is that
''Self-possession and dignity ought to
characterize man of birth and genius,
and . poet should neither be gay or
fippant.
Here is a singer:
"Men can pity the wrongs inflicted by
other men on the gentler sex, but never
those which they themselves infict on
women"
Though the following would apply
equally well to women, it is worth re-
membering as showing that to delicate
minded woman the man who prides him
self on being a bear, growing out
unpalatable truth at every breath is not
considered the pleasantest of compan-
ions:
Your plain-looking men," says the
Countess, ''are usually either of obtuse
intellect or of ill-natured dispositions,
wounding the feelings of others from
want of delicacy of mind and sensibility,
or from intentional malice"
The Countess grows concise, and in
saying that "a womans head is always
influenced by her heart, and mans
heart is always influenced by his head"
utters an epigram worthy of Pope. In
the same epigrammatic mood must this
have been conceived:
Great men direct the events Of their
times; wise men take advantage of them;
weak men are borne down by them
Elsewhere she says:
'In the society of persons of medi-
ocrity OF intellect clever map will ap-
pear to have less spirit than those around
him who possess the least, because he is
displaced in their company"

The books will tell you that the tur-
key was unknown to ancient naturalists,
and even to the Old World before the
discovery Of America. And that it was
fret imported into France in the reign
of Francis I, and into England in that
of Henry VII. Don't you believe it? l
would back the author of sweet Monte
Cristo and the superb D'Artagnan to be
in possession OF more wonderful knowl-
edge than all the books in the world.
What does? He says, first Of all
what is true of other delightful
creatures besides turkey-that the
female is always smaller and more del
icste than the male. So she is, God
bless her! And he adds that turkeys
were known Of the Greeks, who callesl
them Meleagrides, because Meleager,
King OF Macedonia, introduced them in
Macedonia in the year of the world 1850.
But there are great many learned ones
myself among the number) who look ON
this statement with suspicion. Never
theless Monte Christie D'ArtAgan declares
that Pliny Il. ~. Q. ill., unmistAkably
describes the turkey. Moreover, hs
states that in one Of the tragedies Of 60
phoclss there u . chorus Of turkeys Who
wept over ~ dsalh of Nslsagsr.

1uc Gall SOou CHlno 10 Tile IArul, anu
bears the name that the donor gave it.
The milk from Gen. Garfield's dairy is
carted to the railway station every morn
ing and evening, and shipped to the
Cleveland market. Near the barns is
small building in which is kept steam
engine, which was manufactured by the
J. I. Case Theshing Machine Co., Ra-
cine, Wis, used for saving wood, cut
ting feed for stock, etc. Besides the
stock already mentioned, there are
eighteen thoroughbred Cotswold sheep
and dozen swine of the Berkshire and
Poland China breeds.
Notwithstanding the alleged depreda-
tions of visitors. very fair crops were
harvested as the result of
THE PAST SEASONS WORK.
From fifteen acres of corn there was
husked one thousand and thirty bushel:
seven and one-third acres of wheat aver
aged thirty three bushels per acre; four
teen acres of oats yielded five hundred
and seventy-ive bushels; eight acres oi
rye, two hundred and seventy-two bush
els; from thirty-fve acres of meadow
were harvested seventy-five tons Of hay;
and two acres of mangel-wurzels yielded
five hundred bushels. There is also
small buckwheat crop not We. thrashsel,
There are fifty acres of pasture. There
is small orchard, which bore. this yaa-,
about five hundred bushels o: apples
The farm, with the Improvements made
on it by General Garfield. is estimated Il,
be worth SIS 900.
General Garfield has the reputation
among his neighbors Of being good
farmer-one Of the best. indeed. IN the
region, where good farmers abound,
They tell me that he man;teS.s deep in
terest in everything pertaining 10 SSr,-
culture and stock raising. He finds
RECREATION N TARM WORK.
And personally taken a hand IN il when
ever he can find time TO do so. Although
he has three men employed on the farm.
and several servants about the house. he
is in the habit of doing any chores or
errands that may come in his way. II is
not an uncommon thing for him to go to
the post Office, half a mile away, on horse
back, and carry home on the pommel Of
his saddle a large and well-filled mail
bag. His plain and farm-like manners
and habits greatly endear him to the
country people about him.
1t is unjust to mentian the other ami.
mails on General Garfield's farm and say
nothing of his big black Newfoundland
dog, Veto" He is very kind and in
telligent fellow, and seems to share in
the genial and hospitable spirit which
pervades the premises. He expects
recognition from every visitor. Going
into the Generals Office, once, after few
days absence, greeted the gentlemen
who were there, but did not speak to
Veto. He looked at me expectantly
from the opposite side of of the room for
minute or two, and when 1 still failed
to speak to him, he saluted me with q
bowwow-wow that was perfectly conf
cal in its peculiar tone of reproof, and
then sprang across the room and laid his
head on my knee for the customary pat
ting.

A Clock or All Work.

One of the most efficient and wide
awake clocks in the country il in the pos
session of Darius l.. Gof, Of Providence,
r. I. It is nearly 200 years old, but has
been improved from time to time so as to
keep pace with the march of modern
ideas. Occupying position in the front
hall of the house, it regulates the entire
household The front door, as it is
opened and shut during the day, per-
forms the work of winding. With
in the dial is an ingenious
mechanism by which the light in
the front hall is turned up as dark
ness comes on, and again is lowered at
the orthodox bedtime. At dawn, when
it 10 time for the servants to bestir them
selves the clock rings bell in the back
hall summoning them to work. An
hour later, bell in the front hall warns
the family that it il time 10 rise, and
half-sn-hour later the peal Of the bell
summons Thorn to breakfast. Besides
these arrangements, the clock is con-
nected with another In Mr.. COTS sleep
ing apartment, whereby the two are
struck simultaneously.
