vitality Or the Wild t.aose

Farmer H. n. Clement, of Lowell,
LAKE Con ny, Indiana, was cunning
in the KanKakee Marsh. He came
upon flock of wild geese and bagged
several of them, one of which aston
ished him by having as a bresstpin All
arrow nine inches long. That goose
became the wonder of the neighbor-
hood and the study of scientists, the
only conclusion reached being that,
wherever the wild bird came from,
there it got the arrow, 50 unique in
formation that it could be assigned to
no tribe of Indians in the United
States or any other known country.
Finally Professor o. Il. Mason, of the
Natural Museum, said the bird and
arrow could have come from no other
place ON the globe than the Yukon
Valley for except in that region no
such arrows are made.
Science does not pretend to say how
long the goose had carried the arrow
of Yukon tribesman until it met its
death from the shot of civilized gunner
down on an Indiana marsh. The bird
disdained the weapon of q savage, but
turned up its legs to the marksman-
ship of the Hoosier farmer years
afterward. and thousands of miles
away from its summer home in Arctic
desolation, as it was iourneying south

The De Lesseps Statue.

Fremiet, the French sculptor, has
completed the model for the colossal
statue Of Ferdinand de Lesseps, which
the Suez Canal Company is to erect
at Suez in memory of the French en-.
gineer. The statue will be nearly
twenty-one feet high; it will represent
De Lesseps standing, draped in the
camel-skin "burnous" which he was
fond of wearing in Egypt; in the left
hand he holds plan unrolled, and
with his right is pointing to the en-.
trance of the canal. The statue will
be placed on . pedestal, ornamented
with a large medallion and profile
bas.reliefs of the Khedives who aided
De Lesseps work.

In fighting at close range one of the
deadly things that will be brought in
to use will be the shrapnel. Expert
ments extending over q long period
have brought this terrible projectile to
great perfection, and the United
States Army has ready tor service now
several types that are considered al
most perfect for their purpose. Shrap-
nels are hollow proiectiles filed with
bursting charge, and containing in
addition 200 to 28O balls of hardened
lead, which are in layers separated
from each other with cast iron separa-
tors.
Shrapnels are made of all sizes up
to seven-inch. Tests show that when
they explode 1000 yards from the muz-
zle Of the gun the bullets and frag-
ments will cover q circle at least
twenty feet in diameter. This
pleasant missile is so designed that not
only do the bullets fly around with
force to SO through two or three men

A mostremarkable incident occurred
during the passage from Turks island
to Providence of the Boston brig Mary
Gibbs, in the capture by the crew of .
large eagle hundreds of miles from
land. Captain Coombs stated that his
vessel passed between two terrific hur-
ricanes on the passage mp the coast.
When the vessel was $50 miles to the
southeast of Cape Hatteras large bird
was seen flying, or rather being borne
by the wind directly toward the brig.
A man was sent out on the jibboom
to capture it, and the bird, which
proved to be large eagle, flew into
the mans arms and was easily cap
tured. 1t seemed completely exhaus-
ted by its long fight, and for some
days it was unable to stand. During
this time the crew fed and cared for it,
and the result is that the eagle now is
very tame. Captain Coombs thinks
the eagle was caught in the terrific
hurricane and carried from its natural
haunts to the spot where the crew of
the brig captured it. The bird meas
ures six feet from tip to tip of its wings.
The plumage on its breast is white

To "Talse the Cake"

In England as early as 1868 a cake
was a trophy earnestly striven for in
the foot races which were run across
the meadows and at all trials of speed.
At Easter and Whitsuntide, in Ire
land, the peasants annually met and
danced on the green. A prize, the
finest cake in the county, was displayed
on top of tall pole decorated with
flowers, and was finally awarded to the
couple holding out the longest. The
test, it seems, was endurance in the
dance and not grace.
Bridal cakes were also struggled for
as trophies in England. There were
great times at wedding and at the
moment the bride set out for her new
home a company of young men started
ahead on horseback. A pole three OF
four feet high had been erected in
front of her new habitation and upon
this was set handsome cake. The
man fortunate enough to win the race
knocked off the cake with his stick and
eventually received it from the hands
of the bride. This was called "taking
the cake. New York World.
