parish, with but few exceptions, that
the rice crop bids fair to be at least an
average yield is not more encouraging
than the fact that the amount realized
for the crop this year Will probably eX-

PIGEONS FOR NAVAL USE.

They VIII BE Made Part of the Service OF
the United States.
The United States practice ship Con-
stellation, which recently sailed on the
cadets summer voyage, had aboard
number of homing pigeons, to be used
as means of communication between
the ship and points ashore The birds
will be liberated at intervals and are
expected to bring official messages from
the practice vessel to the naval acade-
my, where a loft or cote has recently
been established, says the baltimore
Sun.
If the experiment should prove sue
cessful the government would prob
ably find it profitable to the navy to
encourage the homing pigeon service
with the esmal appropriation needed to
carry out the plans of the projectors of
the enterprise. At present the facilities
for training birds at the naval academy
are limited, no government appropria-
ton being available.
At Fortress Monroe, the first stopping
place of the ship, it is possible several
trained birds from Baltimore. Phila-
delphia aud New York will be taken
aboard and dispatched with informa-
ton from the cruising grounds. The
headquarters at Washington will also
be posted of the whereabouts of the
vessel through winged messengers from
that city.
A lot of the birds to accompany the
ship will no doubt be sufficiently
trained toward the close of the voyage
to be useful in conveying messages
ashore.
The practicability of the homing
pigeon service has been satisfactorily
tested by communications with the
ships of war anchored off Annapolis
and from vessels plying between Balti-

and I stood back to tree trying to
keep warm by smoking and shrinking
up in my big macintosh. For an hour
had heard the dogs barking up on the
hill. They did not seem to get much
upon me. From the woods down to the
water there was a clearing for dis
tance of one thousand yards. In an in
slant my fine fellow struck the clear

running magnifcently, with his head
up and his horns tossing. I felt just
one fierce thrill and then I tried for
him. had him as soon as he reached
the water. The uext year I was in a
boat when I saw my buck. The hounds
was swimming straight downstream.
I started to row after him, and then
seeing that it was useless to try to get
nearer with my heavy boat, tried for
him at long range. He turned when
hit him and SWAN toward the bank. ]
fired again and waited for him. He was
tremendous fellow. He came out
with his two feet on the bank, and as
he lifted his quarters heavily 1 got him.
This year got good runway, and on
the second day saw my buck chased into
the water. It was little long range,
but had fine chance and secured him
with three shots. So you see luck
counts for something"
Another man in the party agreed
with the speaker perfectly. ST have

WALLED LAKE OF IOWA.

Nearly Three Thousand Acres OF Water
Inclosed by a Natural boundary.
The vast region which lies to the west
of the Mississippi river is well provided
with wonders in the shape of natural

wonderful s'1alled lake, in Wright
county, Iowa. The lake occupies a
ground surface of two Thousand eight
hundred acres, and its entire surface Is
from four to ten feet higher than any
point of land in the immediate vicinity,
the waters being kept in bounds by an
immense natural or artificial stone wall
composed of bowlders estimated to
weigh from one hundred pounds up to
three tons each. In some places, where
Two or three of the larger stones lie
close together, the interstices are
chinl1ed with smaller bowlders SO
evenly and in such a worlxmanlike
manner as to preclude all idea of its be-
ing the work of other than intelligent

ten to fifteen feet in height, very broad
at the bottom and tapering up to an av-
erage of four feet at the top. Some
scientists argue that the wall is the re
suit of consecutive freezing of the wa
ters OF the lake-that the action of the
ice on the sides of the embanlxment
forced the stones into their present po
sition. The Philadelphia Press says
that those who take this view of the
matter have failed to notice that. al
though there is plenty of stone in
Wright county, there is absolutely none

craft
What funny stories come out of Berks
county Pa, about witches and witch
doctors, and those who enjoy them
most are the educated Berlxs county
people, who laugh at the superstitious
fears of foolish and ignorant neighbors-
Not long ago the members of a family
in one of the country districts were all
taken sick, and the first thing the head
of the family did was to consult q witch
doctor, who told him the sick people
were bcwitched. He was told to drive
a nail in the sill of his barn door, with
a single blow of the hammer, three
mornings in succession. He did this,
but it is not stated that the sick people
got well. The man insists, however,
that the woman who bewitched his fam
ily was killed by the nails he drove into
the sill, and as an old woman in the
neighborhood happened to give up the
ghost his superstitious neighbors agree
with him that he has killed witch. In
another township a Young girl who was
in love with a country youth went to q
witch doctor for a love-powder to give
the young man that would compel him
to reciproc ate her affection. She got
the powder, but in giving it secretly to
the young fellow she incautiously made
known her desire that he should marry
her, whercupon he seized his hat and
fed out into the wide, vide world. and
he hasn't been heard from since.

As these vaults are now s.hermetically

A local physician complains that
outside doctors come in and cure
cases that they could easily cure if
they had a chance and make money
and a reputation at the same time.
Well, whose fault is it that they do
not get the chance? An outside
physician comes and tells what he
intends doing. If successful, he
tells the people what he has done.
Why don't the other physicians do
the same? The columns of the
newspaper are open to them as we'll
as to the others. They can talk
easily, cheaply and interestingly to
the people that way. If a merchant
should sit down and let the people
find out what he has, or a manufac-
turer should pull his agents off the
road, it would be just as sensible as
for a learned physician to sit in his

At1l o'clock the grand street parade
passed though the town. 1t was
gorgeous and calculated to please.
The people began arriving early
and by noon between 1000 and
5000 people we're in town. 1t was
one of the largest crowds seen here
for years. At IL o'clock the grand
tents were opened, and the crowd
of spectators began to crowd in.
The managrie was not very good.
The performers was about the
average. The Fisher Brothers; the
acrobats and @rialists were fair.
Among the leading performers were
Grace Bennett, bareback rider, Cur
tain and Cunningham, contortion,

poor, lasting about an hour. Their
side show was no good. One good
thing can be said of the show and
that is, there were no gamblers or
