Turkey Buzzards in the South.

The turkey buzzards that are to be seen
in New Jersey and that appear to be
working their way northward in consid-
cradle numbers have changed, or rather
extended, their habitat within recent
years. Before the war there were no
buzzards in this latitude. They are un-
clean creatures, and if angry OF alarmed
will vomit at the object that has enraged
OF startled them. In southern cities they
are protected by law, for they act as
scavengers, and flocks of them may al
ways be seen about the markets watch
ing for ofal. They become as tame as
poultry, allowing men to approach with
in a few feet Of them. Their voices are
harsh and croaking, and they have lop-
sided run as if they were lame in one
leg.-New York Sun.

brilliant success The state building.
near the Fifty-llinth street entrance, is a
reproduction Of one of the old Do1nini-
can mission chapels Of southern Califor-
MIA. The architect departed from the
original only to interject enough of the
more ornate Moorish style to relieve the
somber effect. The building is a clear
story with great flat dome as a crown
ing feature, and the semitropical appear
ance will be heightened by roof gardens.
The measurements OF the structure are
800 by no feet, and the elevation of the
dome is 80 feet. In this building Sch1nid's
colossal figure, typical of California, will
be feature. It was recently exhibited
in San Francisco, where it created much
favorable comment.
In every one OF the main buildings
California will have exhibits, but will
excel of course in the departments If
fruits and flowers, minerals and semi
tropical productions generally. A par
ticula1ly interesting display will be that
of the relics, where all the history Of
mining will be shown, from the pan and
the rocker to the days when individual
miners gave place to large companies
The ladies of California have been grant
ed the right to decorate a large reception
room i'll the Wonans building, which
will be known as the California room.
The redwood lumber dealers Of the state
furnished the wood and the carving, and
granting was done by a master in the
art, who received 1000 for his work.

thoroughly Californian as to excite ell

There was at one time rumor in Wash

wife Of the minister; that that favored
person had remained home III China. A
Chinese mandarin is allowed to have
more than one wife. But it is the first
woman he 1narries who is recognized in
Chinese society. The others are sort of
official wives.

OF the first secretary that l was allowed
to see her. She came down to the par
lor attended by the interpreter, two of
the secretaries and the wife of one of the
secretaries. Mime. Wang. She was arrayed
in all her Mongolian splendor. Her petit
coat of white silk was heavily e1nbroid-

satin worn over this had also a heavy
border of embroidery. Her sleeves were

that this lady was considered great

cided downward curve. Her mouth is
red and full, and her complexion is a
clear olive tint. The breadth of the face
just below the eyes is not according to
tho European standard of beauty, but
this, am told, is what renders her such
very great beauty in China. She wore

question in the queer, choppy language
Of China. The wife of the minister
looked down at her plump hands and
then at the tips of her little shoes, Then
she looked at the secretary's wife, who
smiled; then, looking back to me, she
made answer: "Your country has it's

Canadian Revenue Cutter That Looks
Like Il Gunboat.
In 1917 a treaty was made between the
United States and Canada the terms of
which forbade the entry of war vessels
on the great lakes. Each government,
however, was permitted to float three
revenue cutters on the lakes-one on
Lake Ontario and two on the upper
lakes. The armament of these boats
was not to exceed one 1s-pounder gun
each.
Not long ago the English government
entered what to Uncle Sam looks like
gunboat on the great lakes as revenue
cutter, and this has caused a great deal
of discussion in the United States. 1t is
only fair to say, however, that the Cana
dian government claims that this gun
boat comes within treaty requirements,
and that the United States has no cause
whatsoever for objecting to it's entry as
a revenue cutter

Lo, day is dead that did thee wrong!
Unveil again thy starry skies,
Deep drowned in garish light so long;
Unvcil again each silver star,
Nor fold about with clouds thy head,
For day indeed, that did but mar
Thy nightingalc's sweet notes, is dead
Come; fear not now the flaming sun
That all too long has scorched the sky;
His tyrant reign is dead and done;
Resume of right thy throne on high.
Bind, bind in orange bloom thy brow
And crown our blushing love with bliss.
Oh, give us thy good leave; till thou

In deep, deep silence DER my brow;
