aare Species Of the Feathered 1r'De s-
I'm South America:
The rarest species Of bird now extsnt.
.rd one which is almost extinct, has its
home in the jungles OF South Amerlca.
This pathological curiosity, says tne
ST.; Louis Republic, is known to science

* Z lara Syis nothing could excel the
SoSf6uda unless ii would be the acci-
denfai discovery II living moa Or an
eninoris: BUt few 81 the bird books
even let you know that SUCH a horned
paradox ever existed, let alone telling
YOU that living specimens of the queer
creature are still occasionally met with.
The only one now living in captivity IN
North America, II the writer has not
been misinformed, is that belonging
to the aviary of the Philadelphia zoolog-
ical gardens, and which arrived in this
country about three years ago. The
creature is about the size of full-grown
turkey hen, and of blackish brown
color. One of its distinguishing pecul-
iarities is a ruffie OF black and white
which surround the head. The horny
appendage which caused the early South
American explorers to write SO many
chapters on the wonderful rhinoc-
erous bird of the Jungle" is about four
inches in length, and grows straight
up out of the heaviest and broadcast por-
ton of the head. But the above is not
the only natural offensive and defen-
sive weapon with which the horned
screamer has been provided. On each
wing, at the "elbow" joint, he has q
three-inch spur, and just back Of that
another an inch in length. He is said
to be a match for any ten game cocks.

What is supposed to be the Oldest
European book on metcorology, Rey.
mans weather Booklet" (Wetter-
buechlein), published at Augsburg in
1905, has recently been reprinted, and
it shows that in this science, as in
nearly all others, the beginnings Of
our knowledge came from the east.
Reyman's rules for foretelling the
weather are highly commended for
their good sense. They were derived
from the Arabs, who taught us chem.
istry, astronomy, mathematics and
many other things, for which we have
ceased to be grateful to them.

The common belief is that the French
arc Celtic race; but, according to NJ
Rivierc, the Cclt is not even the largest
element in that mixed race called the
French. 1t is probable that they de-
rive much Of their artistic faculty from
their savage ancestors in the stone age,
who carved quite artistic designs with
. flint BURN on bones. The genuine
Celt does not appear to be particularly
artistic. Tho Auvergnats are almost
pure Cclt, and yet their reputation
mainly rests upon their capacities "a
rs cabmen. Tho true Celt, E. Riviers
asserts, is chiefly to be found in q belt
drawn across France from Savoy to
Low brittany, and he has not been
identified ut oil in the United Kingdom.

School Lands.

Nels G. Giesler, of Fremont
county, has made the first cash
purchase of state agricultural land
in the state. The purchase con-
prised 40 acres. He paid for the
same the sum of $500.
During F. A. Fenn's trip in
southeastern Idaho several sales
of school lands were made and q
large number of leases will shortly
be executed. So far as the south
eastern part of the state is con-
cerned the $40 minimum price for
land is as yet too high. In spec
tally favored localities state lands
bring a good figure. A half Sec
ton was sold in Bingham county
q few miles from Idaho Falls at
$15 per acre.

One Of the few instances of a stream
running up Hill can be found in White
county, Ca, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Near the top Of q mountain is
. spring, evidently siphon, and the
water rushes from it with sufficient
force to carry 1t up the side of very
steep hill for nearly half q mile. Reach
ing the crest, the water flows on to the
east, and eventually finds its way into
the Atlantic ocean. OF course, 1t
Is of the same nature as q geyser, but
the spectacle of stream of water
flowing up steep incline can probably
be found nowhere else in the country,
and appears even more remarkable
than the geysers Of the Yellowstone,

The Meaning Of Free Coinage

Coinage is the redemption of
metal money in legal tenders.
Free coinage is the redemption
without charge to the holder.
The United States says that 25.S
grains of gold 600 fine) shall be
the lawful dollar of the United
States. 1t does not matter where
that 25.S grains of gold may be or
what form it may have. 1t may
Ike in dust, in bar, or in plating on
hOllOw-ware. Wherever there
IRE 25.S grains of gold there is a
dollar. In case of dispute as to
weight or fineness of metal or
shape, the government declares
that when the 25.S grains shall
pass through its mint and be re-
deemed in legal tender-receive
the mint's stamp-all disputes
shall cease, and this coin shall be
,s'lawful money" and illegal tender"
in discharge Of all obligations; and
any person refusing to receive it
shall forfeit his claim. Now, in
order to keep the gold not in coin
age of the same value as that in
coinage, the government coins,
Tree of charge, to any who applies.

ut is common enough" said Mr..
Gratcbar, according to the New York
Sun, ITO see man sitting in the
aisle end Of pew in church get up on
the arrival of some other member of
the family, step out into the aisle to let
the late conner in and then resume his
seat at the end of the pew. 1t seems to
me that l have read that this custom
originated In New England In the carly
days, when the men all sat by the aisle
so that they could seize their guns and
get out promptly in case of attack by
Indians. We don't have much to fear
from Indians nowadays, but the seat
by the aisle is still occupied by the head
Of the family. lie stand. in the aisle
whilo the others pass in, and then
calmly takes his place in the end scat,
at the head Of the line, as q sort Of gen.
eral protector.
sometimes in these days 1--WE are 30
very free from Indians now the head
of the family thinks it is safe for him to
stay at home when he has a headache,
and then the young son takes his place.
I imagine that he talks it over with his
mother on the way to church, so that it
is all understood. When they get to
the pew he stands in the aisle while his
sisters and his mother pass in. fancy
that his sisters are rather glad when
they are all seated and no longer con-
spicuous, but upon his mothers face as
she brushes past him into the pew there
Is smile of afYcctionate pride; and
then he takes his seat in his fathers
place and sits there with fine boyish
dignity"

SNOW MADNESS.
Awful Eject Of the Beautiful Upen Pee
PIE Way Down South.

Awful Eject Of the Beautiful Upen Poos
I'D PIE Way Down South.
ANY person who has lived in countries
where snow Is an ordinary circumstance
and condition Of the winter season
must, If he had witnessed the extraordi-
nary behavior Of the people Of New Or
leans in the snowstorm, have been
thoroughly astonished, says the New
Orleans Picayune.
The falling of the feathery fakes
seemed to have operated on the. people
like wine, and from the highest to the
lowest, young and old, grave and gay,
the dignified and the comical, reveled
In the unwonted conditions and fell to
pelting each other with snowballs as II
they had been gang Of schoolboya.
The result of this midwinter mad
ness was that every person who passed
along the streets was numerically
pelted, and in many cases no considers
ton was shown to age, sex or condition.
There were men who were posted at
street corners with magazines of snow
balls ready TO fall upon the unwary
passenger, whether on foot or in vehi-
cles.
Many Of these balls had been dipped
IN water and compressed until they
were solid Jumps of ice, and when they
inflicted severe injury. One gentleman
who was passing on Gravier street,
near the Citizens' bank, got a blow in
the eye which may cost his sight, and
many others were knocked down and
otherwise injured. Glasses in windows
Of houses, of street cars and of private
carriages were broken by the volleys OF
balls and nobody was safe from attack.
The people afflicted with this snow
madness, although many were respect
able citizens, did not seem to realize
that they were violating private rights
or disturbing the peace, or, If they did,
they were too intent on making the
most of an opportunity which occurs
only at long intervals to pclt oil COM
ers without fear Of punishment, to
care.
In countries where snow Is common
every winter there are ethics Of snow
balling, just as well as of any other
sport or business. There the fun is
only INDUCED in between friends and
acquaintances who consent to liberties
taken, while to strike stranger or an
unwilling person with a SNOWFALL is as
much an assault as would be striking
with stone. OF course some allow.
ance must be made here for the ex-
traordinary excitement caused by sc
rare an occurrence as a snowfall, but
even the maddest of the jewellers ought
to understand that ball of ice or one
mixed with mud, Jumps of coal and
oyster shells is capable of inflicting a
serious wound upon the head and face,
and the deliberate use of such missiles
q more like an act of malice than sport.

ENGLISH SPORTING LITERATURE

About One-sixth of tho English Psriodi-
Gals Are Devoted 70 Sport.
It may give some idea Of the place Of
sport in English life to the sedentary
American to say that is difficult to find
fair health, and not supported by the
rates, who Is not performer at some
kind of sport or interested in some
phase of it. OF the 673 reviews and
magazines Of nonrcligious character
printed In England, says the Forum,
one in six Is largely devoted to some
form Of out-of-door sport or occupation.
Between 1880 and 1885, according to
. private index kept in the British mu-
scum, there were 200 books published
on the one subject Of sport or athletics;
between 1885 and 1890, 412, and, al
though the figures for the last i've
years are not at hand, the number Of
books on the same subjects promises to
be even larger, almost forty books on
golf alone appearing during the last
Ave years. Nor does this list include
books on topics german to the subject,
such rs books dealing with voyages,
geography, history, biography and
trade, of which there were 1888 pub
lishcd in London in 1893, and probably
more than thousand during the lust
year.
In word, John Bull loves the fresh
air. lie Is sportsman, an athlete, .
soldier, n sailor, traveller, a colonist,
rather than a student, and all the fig
ures bear mo out in making the state
ment. During those horrible days in
the Crimea, these sport-loving young
barbarians" were "all ut play" when
they were not fighting; racing their
ponies, getting up cricket matches, and
of shooting such game as there was.
