The American Ivy, or Virginia
,reeper, is a perfectly hardy vine, a
vigorous grower, easily tran planted,
and will flourish anywhere, on any
: il, and under the most unfavorable
circumstances. 1t will come mp from
a little root by the side OF a stump or
fence or stone heap and Transform,
in a season or two, into wonder OF
beauty. 1t is so rigorous and tena-
Cious OF life that IL is much easier to
allow it TO grow than TO attempt 10
destroy it, and no plant furnishes a
more dense or graceful shade. 1T Is
the haTbOr OF no insects, the flowers
are inconspicuous and late in the au-
tunu are succeeded by clusters OF
black berries. On the approach OF
winter the leaves BEGIN to change
color, and before falling are OF the
deepest scarlet; more brilliant than
any Of the autumn leaves, except
perhaps the sumach and the maple.
1t supports itself well In almost
any situation by its numerous spiril
teudrils, which are almost as strong
as wire, and grasp any object within
their reach with frmness that de
ties the fercest Winds and storms.
These tendrils not only wind around
any support within their reach, but
when the plant ascends smooth OBJ
ject like the trunk Of a tree or the
side of a wooden house, they act a:
rootlets and fasten themselves 81
Iirmly that it Is almost impossible
to remove them.

The Wild Turkey.

In reply to an inquiry, the Home
stead states that the Wild turkey Is
native OF North America, and WAS
probably the first introduced int
Europe hy the SpaniardS. 1t il said
tho urst one served up at banquet
in France was at the wedding of
Charles TX in 1870. William Strick-
land, the lieutenant OF Sebastian
Cabot. in a voyage he performed IN
der the patronage OF Henry VII, car
ried them from this country to Eng
land. Since that period they have
spread with great rapidity, and they
are now found throughout the whole
civilized world. y writer some years
ago said: In It's domcsticated state
the turkey has undoubtedly degener-
ated-the wild birds attaining to
larger size, and showing more beau
tifuI pldmage." 1t may be that at
the time that sentence was written
The turkey was inferior IN size TO the
wild bird, but the present Mammoth
Bronze varlety-is certainly equal to
the wild species.
The wild turkey was formerly
abundant in the Middle, Southern
and Western States, but we believe
never have teen found west OF the
}o ky Mountains They are now
found only in thiuly settled regions.
In their wild state they congregate,
1t certain seasons, in focks of many
hundreds, frequcntinE the woods by
day and feeding on acOrns, all kinds
Of grains, buds, berries, nuts, grass,
Insects, and even young frogs. They
cross the largest rivers by mounting
to the tops Of the trees, and then fly
ing across. a clipping before US says:
"BenJamin Franklin thought the
wild turkey should have been the
emblem of the United States, being
truly indigenous and national bird;
n his time the log cabin pioneer was
surrounded by these birds, saluting
Zach other IN early morning from the
tops of adjacent forest trees, as is the
farm shouse nowadays by the chan
.icleer." e.

An unusual incident occurred IL
the City Court at Savannah, Ga, a
few days ago. Judge Mcdonnell was
tardy in putting in his appearance
for which he fined himself $40, and
promptly remitted the fine. His
Honor went to see his physician to
have his arm, which he recently in

him a little longer than lie had
counted on. When he entered the
court rnom the hands on the clock
above the Judges desk pointed to
just ten minutes past 10. Judge
Mcdonnell took note of the fact and
said: "In accordance with the rules
of this Court every officer who comes
in late is subject to fine. The
clerk will, therefore, enter dne Of
$40 against the Court for hardness,

prevails in Russia as TO the one crime
of theft At SaratCff on the Nolga a
crowded steamer was about to start,
when the assistant captain, hurrying
through a crowd of third-class pas

peasant who had previously com.
planned that his money had beer
stolen.

has been found"
Found! Where?"
"Sewed up in that soldiers mantle.

"Where is that soldier?"
"There he is, asleep"
"Weli, he must be handed over to

Handed over to the police? Why
to the police? Don't touch him. let
him sleep on. Sure, the money is
found; what more do we WANT"

indifferent, the matter was dropped
