Those wise men termed ornithologists
say there are only two separate and dis.
tinct species of turkeys, though admitting
the existence Of many crosses and varia-
tions caused by domestication. One of
the two species allowed by the wise men IL
now commonest In Mexico, they say,
though formerly found nearly everywhere
In the temperate and in much of the trop-
zeal part of North America. It Is in turn
divided into two varieties-the northern
wild turkey, once common from Maine to
Texas, and the Mexican turkey, supposed
ly the progenitor of the common barnyard
fowl.
The second species known to the orni-
biologists is the Meleagris ocellata mele-
agris being the jaw breaking scientific
name for turkey and ocellata being added
to show that birds of this species wear
feathers adorned with glistening eye shap-
ed spoUs, much like those that ornament
the tail feathers of peacocks. This variety
of turkey is found chiefly in Central Amer
lea and among the unlearned Is known
as the Honduras turkey. 1t is much
smaller than the wild turkey of the States
and shier but not so clever.
Lifelong turkey hunters however, ig-
more the scientific classifcations They
say there are four distinct races of turkeys
In the United States. The first is clearly
Identical with the northern wild turkey.
termed Meleagris gallapavo americana by
the ornithologists, and the second Is un-
doubtedly the same as the Meleagris mex
icana and is called the Rocky mountain
turkey by the hunters. They tell of
third variety, found only in Texas and
northeastern Mexico, and fourth, the
Florida turkey, much smaller and hand
somer than any of the others, which is
found only in the peninsula that stretches
Cubaward. The hunters seem to know
nothing of the Honduras turkey, but 1t
may be that it and the Florida bird are the
same.
Although nobody in the old world seems
to have known anything about the turkey

ARMY LIFE.

Those who are going to the front
will find, if they have any active ex-
perience, that the fighting" they
dread so much is one of the least objec-
tionable features of army life. 1t is the
monotony of camp. the long and weary
marches, the constant apprehension of
orders to move, the forced association
with men of all conditions, and the
rigid discipline-not to mention the
iact that the fare, after the first
few weeks at most, will not
be that of the table d'hote-these are
the things which disgust and de-
moralize the volunteer force. Any
high spirited boy, after the clash of
his first battle will regard an engage
ment with the enemy, where anytbiug
like an equal cbarce exists, with about
ss much concern as he would engage in
n contest for baseball or football
che mpouship. Indeed, the element of
danger is obliterated by excitement to
.,ly but arraLt towards. But the "hell'
which General Sherman declared war
ro ht, is composed of all these elements,
,ncluding iesolated homes wide Sher-
mans march 10 the ses), bereaved
families, etc. In war there is nothr g
heavenly for the common soldier, ana
no motive impels him, after the en-
usas III dies away, but duty.
