When Turkeys Are Angry.

In countries where focks of turkeys are
raised one can learn very quickly from
their gobblings when they have captured Il
hare. If they meet him standing still or
lying down they form in a circle around
him and putting their heads down repeat
their peculiar cries. The hare remains
quiet and it is sometimes possible to take
him up, terrorized as he is in the midst OF
the black circle of gobbling beaks and
heads. The language of the turkeys is at
that time incontestably significant. 1t Is
warlike and similar to that of the males
when they are fighting. In the present in
stance they have joined for war, and they
make it on the frightened hare.-Popular

which was one of the heartiest ever ten
dered him. Several politicians here do
not place implicit confidence in his state
ment that he is simply on holiday va

They aver the trip was the direct manip-

anxious to offset the growing Hill move
ment in this state. 1t is also said that it
is the beginning of concentration of
western forces in Cleveland's favor.

A Curfou. God.

Among the most extraordinary pieces
of symbolism known to have been used
by the early Asiatics was figure Of a
donkey's head used as a representative
OF the Deity. There is no doubt what
ever that the same emblem was once
used among the Hittites, the Egyptians
and one or two other nations as SYM
boil of their Red God SUIT. The super
stitions Of the yellow donkey Of India;
the story of the swift ass of eastern
Asia and the ass Of Dionysius, and
many other marvellous ass stories, are
all survivals of that curious form Of
religious worship-the alteration of the
ass head.

Mr.. BLAINE MEANT IT.
what's Said Concerning His Letter and
Recent Reports.

New YORK, February 2sl-A Washing
ton despatch to the Press saysss :
There continues to be disposition on
the part of some of Mr.. Blaine's friends
to refuse to accept in good faith his an
nouncement that he would not be a can
didate for the Presidential nomination
and his. name would not go before the
Minneapolis convention. Three or four
days ago gentleman who has already
been selected as delegate to Minneapo-
lis, or who has been designated for selec-
ton to that position, called upon Mr..
Blaine, and in the course of a converse
ton asked him as to his condition of
health, and the latter replied:
my health has not been better at any
time within the last ten years."
Then, so the story goes, this delegate
arose and extending his hand for the part
ing adieu, said:
"That's all I want to know. You have
not cut the string which is tied to your
letter declining the use of your
name in the Minneapolis convention, and
/ intend to go there and vote for you"
To this declaration Mr.. Blaine is quot
ed as having replied: II cannot tell you
how much appreciate such friendship
as you show for me- and then shook the
hand of his friend and bid him good day.
The gentleman went ON the streets and
told his friends wherever he met them
that Secretary Blaine ''has as good as
said that there was a string tied to his
letter declining to be a candidate that
his health was better than ever and that
he had not protested against the use of
his name in the convention. This story
gathered strength until the annunce-
ment was made in various places today
that Mr.. Blaine would be nominated
that he was, in fact, a candidate.
All of this kind of talk is so unjustifi-
able as to be very unpleasant to Mr..
Blaine. His position is the same now as
it was four years ago, and those who are
circulating reports to the contrary and
insisting that it will ''be all right to vote
for him." and that he would not decline
the nomination are doing MI. Blaine an
