Recently a STAR reporter, on his
rounds, CHANGED to touch Jim Noodle
upon the coal question. 1t was n Of
the cool days lately and which were
very suggestive of the necessity Of a
good coal fire. Mr.. Noodle is inter-
ested in one of the coal fields on the
Cheyenne river IN this county. He
has been pushing the prospect until
now he has a hole in the mountain
about sixty-five or seventy feet and If
teen or twenty cars Of good coal on the
dump. His plan is to ship over this
coal and supply the city. 1t can be
laid down here at an expense exclusive
Of the expense of mining Of about $2.75
per ton. The STAR believes this to be
an excellent move on the part of Mr..
Noodle. In the first place it will test
the quality OF the coal for domestic
purposes, although there is no aues-
ton but that it is a good domestic coal),
and second and most important it will

that Hot Springs uses coal of its own
production, and besides will furnish

The Gorceons Peacock.

Nearly every one is familiar with the ap-
pearance Of the peacock the king among all
the birds OF rich plumaSe. His magnificent
costume IS composed Of moro than twelve
different tints OF the most brilliant blue,
green and gold His voice is the most I'M
musical among birds but his splendid appear
ance makes up for that deficiency.
In ancient times the peacock was the bird
sacred to the Greek Hera, who was the Juno
of the Lstins: and later. IN the age Of chiv-
airy. when more honor was paid % men than
TO the gods, a peacock roasted IN It's feathers
with its full train displayed was the dainty
dish" that was set before the king" on fes-
tive occasions.
The native country of the peacockis South
ern Asia and the East Indies IL is also found
in Java and CeyloD. The naturalists that
have seen il in its native haunts ythat when
it is domesticated its feathers lose much Of
their original brilIancy. With It's train, Of
ten seven feet in length. and its arching neck
and body covered with feathers like gold and
emerald scales, 10 appear like a gllstenlng
monarch OF the Wild region IL inhabits. 1t Is
often seen in hocks Of hundred OF more.
Towards evening these creatures gather on
the open grass near the forest seeking for their
supper Should hunter disturb them they
run rapidly for a short distance and then rise
oblquely. Their flight IS heavy and some
what low rs they rarely rise higher than the
tops of the tallest trees. If wounded while
flying they instantly fall to tho ground but.
unless the legs are injured. they as quickly
recover themselves and run 50 rapidly to-
wards the nearest thicket that the hunter Of
ten loses the prize he considers within his
grasp.
Their favorite home is in the forest sur
rounding mountain tablclands where they
can secrete themselves among the trees and
tall underground. whence they sally forth
into the open ground for feeding. They are
found among the mountains Of Southern
India AS high as 81 900 feet above tho sea. but
never far from some mountain stream or lake
The peacock's food is both animal and vege-
table. While he will feast on wild berries and
seeds and make sad havoc with 4 field of
young grain, he is equally happy with break
fast of worms and bugs, and even small snakes.
which last he takes y yindietiye pleasure in
killing. if only to leave them dead upon the
ground.
The female chooses q concealed nook in the
underbrush for her nest, whore she carelessly
pulls together, after the fashion of domestic
barnyard fowls. whatever sticks and dried
leaves are at hand. There she lays from
eight 70 twelve eggs, which she broods for
thirty days before the young break their
shells.
II she is left to herself she is a good mother

Canada and Reciprocity.

Secretary Blaine represents the very decided
sentiment Of his peOple-that all OyertureS for
reciprocal fayOrs must come from Canada. IN
past years that country-a colony of a Govern
ment greatly differing from our Own--has eX-
hibited towards the United States certain
bumptiousness which has become slightly
wearlsome and which far below the diguihed
consideration that is due the greatest Ofrepub-
lies. Such position on our part Is all the
more neces sary because Canada's administra-
ton has come 20 ask reciprocity, not so much
because its own leaders wish il. but because
the internal politics of the Dominion have
shown that the Canadian people or clamoring
words. Sir Charles Upper and hiss associates
have been forced 10 ask what they do not es-
pecially desire by the demands of their own
constituents, who want 10 be more intimately
allied with the prosperity that they
see on this side Of the ST. Lawrence river. OF
course il will be necessary TO show great
caution in dealing with such men, but the
nation is fortunate in having such man as
blr. Blame in the State Department. and the
interests OF the country can be very safely
entrusted to his keeping. The United States
is big enough, great enough and generous
enough to be on the friendliest Of relations
with all its neighbors. and there are the best
of reasons why we should be on good terms
with Canada; but as Canada has presumed
considerably in the past, it will be well to let
her come TO more humble and q more nor
NAL appreciation of herself now. She can do
the proposing, and Secretary Blaine will give
1t his earnest consideration. Baltimore
