C,rions Traits of rom1s

It Is in fighting that some of the most curious traits are manifested by fowls of all kinds. Notice the coops of Cochins and Brahmas in poultry show, and you will find many of the cocks with combs bloody and scared from pecking one an- others heads. They thrust their necks put between the side of the coop and the first slat in front and clumsily punish each other. In long rows of coops of game, placed in exactly the same way, not a peck is given. It isnot that the slow and easily whipped Asiatics are fonder of lighting than the ideal gladiators of the animal world, but simply that no game cock will put himself at disadvantage by getting his head in reach first. When game cocks look out, it Is through one of the middle spaces. Fighting is too seri- ous business with these high spirited birds to be mixed with foolishness.- Iamin Karr in Popular Science Monthly.

Slavery Praotioed Among Ant,

Slavery when practiced among ants has consequences no less evil than when prac- ticed among men. The ants decline in strength and vigor, and every generation finds them become more utterly helpless. They lose at last the power even to eat; placed within easy reach of food, they wait for their faithful servitors to come and put it into their mouths. It has been shown by experiment that these naughty patricians prefer starvation to the effort of helping themselves to their dinners. The slaves are really the masters, and 1t seems to be from their force of habit that they remain in their position of bondage. It would be perfectly easy for them to free themselves from it. Nature, bow ever, Is rapidly doing this for them. The shareholders are so fast diminishing in strength and numbers that they will sooner or later undoubtedly become ex- tinct-New York Star.

Messrs. J. Corners and MT. McGloin returned last Tuesday evening from a prospecting trip to and beyond the White Mountains in Apache county. They were absent two months and two days and had an enjoyable but uneventful trip, with frequent feasts upon fresh brook trout and wild turk ey. In @ mineral way they found nothing encouraging, the formation being generally malapai North of Camp Apache they passed through very heavy timber that was so dense as to greatly darken their path even dur ing the bright sunshine. The White Mountain Indians have some very fine farms on the reservation and they raise corn in considerable quantities Beyond the White Mountains a few cattle men have their herds pasturine and some focks of sheep were seen Altogether their trip was a proftles: one excepting for the rugged exercise obtained and the knowledge gained O | the country.

A ReuiarISnb Adventure.

Jimmy Peck had an experience
Thanksgiving Day at the river that
he will remember for some time to
come. James had read somewhere Of
a novel way Of catching chickens by
means Of kernel Of corn and "A fish
hook. So not caring TO waste pow
der and shot on II seemingly countless
flock Of geese, he conceived the idea
Of going To the river and then trying
a similar plan. The geese in the river
bottoms number millions, and they
are slaughtered by the thousands.
merely for their feathers and the
sport that il got out Of the hunting
Mr.. Peck secured lot Of cord and
twine, but instead Of using the hooks
he punctured n hole in each kernel
and tied the twine toit. After he had
laid out about five hundred Of these
prepared kernels he attached the
twine ends 10 heavy piece Of rope
and reached for small stump or
something 10 tie the rope to, but
where he had set his novel trap there
was nothing but a dreary waste Of
sand. SO he accordingly tied the
rope about his body and concealed
himself in a pile Of driftwOOd. After
a half-hour's wait flock Of the wild
cronkers, numbering several thou
sand, flew down near the spot and be-
gan devouring the corn. Jimmy got
his knife and club ready and rose up
with loud cries The geese rose, too,
and Jimmy continued rising. his
weight seemingly amounting 10 little
with the feathered bipeds Up, up,
up! he went; visions OF home, terri
bic death, and where and how this
would end, passed through his mind
as he was carried hither and thither
by the frighted and screaming birds
But, fortunately for James, the geese
being 30 demoraIized and flying in OPP
posite directions. the strings began 10
break, and he was slowly descending
TO the ground. On looking down he
saw the geese were flying directly
over the Sacramento river, but a death
by drowning seemed TO strike him
better than the other. and when over
a sand bar he cut the rope and drop
ped down After three hours spent
here he was taken OF by some hunt
ers.-Chieo cal EHtaPrise.

Book Review.

Publishing house of the M. r. Church,
South-1888. j. d. Barbee, Agent.
"Christian Womanhood," as it is
dealt with at the hands of the author,
is calculated to excite much interest
and doubtless serious criticism, both
from his position in the church and
also from his residence in the South,
which has always held to views more
or less conservative in relation to
woman's position in society.
Rev. w. G. Black is member of
the Mississippi Conference, and is To-
Gated at Meridian in that state. The
author says in the brief preface that
the book represents years of thought
and investigation on the subject. He
sends it forth with the prayer that
those into whose hands it may fall will
read as carefully and conscientiously
as he has written, and that it may be
welded by the Head of the Church as
an instrument for the spread of truth
and righteousness.
The writer dwells in well chosen
words, in the first chapters, on the
ancient Pagan ideal of woman's
sphere; her place in Roman civiliza-
ton, where she was relegated to a po-
sition of perpetual minority likewise
her position in Greek civilization,
where woman was permitted to have
no religion save that prescribed by
Der master; and he shows the wide
spread decentralization of the times
was due entirely to the systematic
degradation of woman as set forth in
all the laws of the country and the
sentiments of philosophers.
Following the history of the world,
the author dwells gloriously on her
emancipation at last by the light of
Christianity. lie tell in choicest
words of her advancement from one
stepping stone to another, using the
Bible scenes in his illustrations and
welding his logic in manner to carry
conviction of woman's utility and her
right to an equal place with man in
the world, to the mind of the reader.
"The history of the church for a
thousand years is not the history of
Christianity pure and simple, but of
Christianity corrupted by paganism.
This statement gives the key to the
woeful apostasy we are now consider
ing, the degradation of woman from
her rightful place in the Church of
God. Woman's degradation is due
to the organization of Christianity"
Tle author advocates the position of
woman in every walk in life, which
she is capable of filling and can do
good.
''Every God-given faculty was be-
slowed for purpose. The wings of
the bird were not made to lie forever
folded, but to be exercised in darling
through the air. SO with the gift of
oratory. When God creates an elo-
quent tongue he intends it should be
used, regardless of the sex of the
owner" "Intemperance is but
one of the evils that are to engage
her attention, and the same success
