NaricOlored Bird.

The most variegated bird in the
world has lately been discovered III
India and Ceylon. No less than nine
different colors are distinguishable in
its plumage. 1t is called the nine col
ored pit.a, and with its long legs, short
tall and plump body it bears consid-
erable resemblance to thrush But
its colors are gay and beautifully har-
moniZed.
Its powerful long beak is curved on
top and is generally held firmly closed.
The foot is widely spread, the middle
toe very long. The wings are short
and well rounded. The bird is light
brown, with black stripes on the upper
part Of its body. The head and sides
of the neck are black, while white
line passes over the eyes, forming a
kind of eyebrow, and the throat
and part of the back are
also white. The other parts under
the body are a yellowish brown, with
a greenish tinge. The tail and under
parts of the wings are blush green,
while the long wing feathers are a
pale blue. The tips of the shoulders
have spots of azure blue and the
pinions are black.
Their short wings do not permit any
very extended flight, and their long
legs show that much OF their time is
passed on the ground, where they feed
on different kinds of beetles, which
they crush in their strong beaks.
Shy and difficult to approach, they
are generally found in the bush of the
uplands singly except at breediny time
and while the brood is still young.
The natives of India call this bird
"Nourang."

With black eyes the intellect will be
powerful, the passions strong. What
the owners of blue eyes may lack in
power and emotional strength they
make up in subtlety and versatility.
Hazel eyes show steadiness and
power OF affection; fascinating green
eyes belong to deceitful and coquet-
tish persons. The proper distance
between eyes is the length OF one
eye.

that when this estate is taken from the por-
ton of Virginia it is proposed to cede as a
part of the District 1T leaves a compare
lively small part of that state which it is
proposed to turn over to the government.
The proposition to have the District of
Columbia extend to the Virginia soil has
for years been a popular one in Congress,
and especially in the Senate. When Mr..
Mcmillan made d proposition of this kind
couple of years ago it was very extern
sively indOrsed, but was not approved by
the Virginia senators and representatives.
Mr.. Mcmillan has again thrown out this
proposition in order that it may be brought
before the Virginia legislature during the
coming recess of Congress. 1t is thought
that Virginia as a state will be interested
in this suggestion, especially as if carried
out, 1t would doubtlessly result in great
improvements being made in the new ac
quisition, and these improvements being
contiguous to a large area of Virginia,
would result in greatly enhancing its tax
able value. If the legislature of Virginia
takes favorable action on Mr.. McMillan+5
proposition it is likely that the next Con-
gress will pass necessary legislation to
carry it into effect.

furious march without ridding himself of
the trap the greater his rage becomes. He
will rush against obstructing trees ana tear
ttem with his teeth. l have followed the
trails of grizzlies through thick timber
wrilA the bears were endeaVoring to free
themselves from their traps and nave
counted sapling after sapling, and good
sized ones at that, chewed to the GROUND py
the infuriated animals To come up with
a half-ton grizzly bear, while he is in such
temper would be like standing in the path
of a cyclone.
The trail of a trapped grizzly generally
leads the trapper long way through the
forest, and more than likely mile or so
into a swamp where he can see but few
feet in any direction, the growth is so
dense He is constantly expecting the bear
to rise somewhere about him and charge
upon him like an avalanche. There have
been times when trappers have come up
with the bear at the very moment when he
has succeeded in tearing loose from the
trap. At least that is the supposition of
those who, have found the bodies OF such
trappers in the swamps.
"A grizzly bear won't eat anything in the
vegetable line unless he can't get meat,
and a black bear won't eat meat as long as
he can get something in the vegetable line
But as much as the grizzly bear does on
things in the way of meat, he will starve
to death before he will eat human flesh.
This isn't in keeping with what bear story
writers love to tell about the grizzly but
it is true. My old friend George Ray of
Idaho has a theory to explain this abhor-
renee by the grizzly bear of mans flesh.
He believes that one day the father or the
mother of the grizzly family killed an In
dian and ate some of him. That, friend
Ray declares, could have but one result 1t
set the bear forever against man meat. The
family fell heir to the repugnance, and not
being able to distinguish between Indians
and human beings, none of its members
has ever tasted one or the other since. But
George Ray holds big grudge against In
dians, and his theory may be wrong.

MIR. CHOATE REACHES ENGLAND.
Cordial Reception Extended to Ameri-
can Ambassador Over There.

The New York Herald's London corre-
spondent, under date of yesterday, says:
After a remarkably pleasant voyage for
this time of year, Mr.. Joseph H. Choate,
the new United States ambassador to the
Court of st. James, landed at Southamp-
ton this afternoon.
AS the st. Paul entered the Empress
docks, with Capt. Jameson on the bridge,
Mr.. Choate was distinguished standing
close to the rail on the forward deck. Near
him We're Mrs. Choate, Miss Choate. Mr..
Choate. Jr., and Mr.. Harris, the newly ap-
pointed minister to Austria-Hungary.
On the deck were grouped the mayor and
officials of Southampton, in their furred
robes and chains of office; the DR. rasident and
some of the members of the local chamber
of commerce. Mr.. John Ridgley Carter, sec
ond secretary of the embassy, and several
members of the embassy staff.
AS soon as the gangplank was secured
the waiting party went on board. Its men,
bers were ushered into the dining saloon
where Mr.. Choate received them.
The mayor delivered a warm address of
welcome, as did also the president of the
chamber Of commerce, both of them en-
phasizing the fact that naver before We're
the relations of England and the United
states so cordial, and expressing the hope
that the bond would become still closer.
Mr.. Choate, in short, brilliant reply,
assured his hearers that it was the earnest
desire of the government and people of
the United States to maintain the most
friendly relations with Great Britain. He
expressed the belief that the two nations.
going hand in hand, would be the greatest
lactor IN the development of the worlds
civilization and progress.
After the visitors had been presented to
the new ambassador the bugle sounded all
ashore. and the party left the vessel and
proceeded to a special saloon carriage
which was attached to the boat train
Mr. Choate, who was attired in black and
looked quite pale, walked with a slight
limp, as the result of a recent accident He
said to Herald correspondent that the
voyage was remarkable in that they en-
countered no rough weather at all.
Upon the arrival of the train at Waterloo
station, London, Mr.. Henry White, charge
affares, was found waiting upon the plat
form, and after a few minutes conversa-
ton with MIR. Choate the ambassador and
ms FAMILY entered the carriage and were
driven to Claridges Hotel.

FACTS ABOUT ALASKA.
Data of the Military Explorations of
the Territory Compiled.

Data of the Military Explorations of
the Territory Compiled.
For the first time the government has
compiled a history of the great territory
of Alaska, bringing the explorations made
by army officers up to date, and including
an elaborate description of the physical
res ouress of the territory. The compia-
ton, when published, will make large
octave volume of about 500 printed pages.
The material was supplied by the War
Department, under the direction of Assist
ant Secretary Meiklejohn, to the Senate,
which had charged the committee on ter
ritomes by resolution with obtaining all the
data oni@the subject of the military eX-
plorations of Alaska and the lines of COM
munication and natives in the possession
of the government. Senator Carter, chair
man of the committee, presented the report
of the committee, which, he states was
delayed SIN order to include the reports ef
the military expeditions which were sent
out by the Secretary of War last year.
In his report Senator Carter says: 1.-The
compilation of accurate data on the ma
terial resources of Alaska has become a
public nafe ssity. In view Of this fact the
Secretary of War has placed before the
people of the United States. through Con-
gress, all the material on the subject in
his possession. This consists mainly of the
several expeditions into Alaska under the
direction of the military arm of the gov
Raymond in 1869 and including as well the
expeditions which were subsequently made
by Brigadier General o. o. Howard in 1875,
Lieut.. Frederick Schwatka in 1883, Lieu
tenants Ray and Abercrombie in 1884 Lieut..
Henry T. Allen in 1885 and the expeditions
of Capt. Ray and Lieutenants w. F. Rich
ar6son and f. II. Wells in 1897, down to
the more recent and more important recon-
noisances made by Captains Abercrombie
and Glenn In 1893. The reports Of these
military explorations and reconnoisances of
military explorers of Alaska. eleven in
number, have for the first time been care
fully revised, rearranged and collated by
the War Department in the form of mar
ratives, something unique and which has
never before been accomplished in a gov
ernment work. The story of each member
of the expeditions is tersely told. And your
committee believe that the compilation will
prove to be the most comprehensive that
has thus far been undertaken by the gov
ernment. and will extensively add to our
present knowledge of this colossal domain
of the United States"

Necessity for National Quarantine.
thn Lodi

If there is any doubt as to the necessity
for national system of quarantine it can
be very effectually dispelled by study of
me dtteo present heihgerent ei tendencies of the
gulf border. Each commonwealth con-
cerned in the prevention of the invasion of
yellow fever Is not only determined to
adopt it's own independent means of insur-
ing safety to its inhabitants, but is inclined
to dictate a policy for It's neighbor 1t is
not unlikely that these interstate difficult
ties will become still more multiplied, as
they may involve not only the different
counties of each state. but even the smaller
towns in threatened districts If the prece-
dent is established Of each one looking after
himself it is grave question where the
end is to be.
1t is also plainly to be seen that there is
no hope for any proper understanding be-
tween the states short of some compulsory
regulation by the general government The
Interstate interests can never be recognized
or harmonized on any other basis AL
though numerous conferences between state
boards have been held with the view of
reconcilng conflicting tendencies and for
mulating rules for mutual protection they
have not only signally failed, but have re-
suited in making the differences Of view
more absolute and the chances for con-
certed action more indefinite and remote
While this lamentable disagreement of
the health authorities is so obviously i'm
possible of reasonable settlement, the mer-
chants and the general public are clamor-
ing for the abolition of quarantine alto
gether, asserting that they prefer to run
the tisk Of the fever rather than face a
senss1ess land obviously unfair system of
trade restriction.
1t Is useless to deny the fact that ouaran-
tine IN, any shape is always a very serious
matter. when it is necessary it is very
necessary, To be effective it must fulfill all
its widespread purposes. The decision as
to its extent and thoroughness cannot he
left with ANY local authorities, Influenced
by arbitrary and selfish motives We have
proved this over and over again by the loss
Of life ana property year after year as the
result OF unprevented fever invasion. We
shall be- merely repeating history by al
lowing matters to go on as they are at
present, There is only one hope for the
better, and that is in the speedy enactment
of g. national health law by our present
Congress

dreadful fact the warmer months will give

best, as heretofore, to adjust\ difficulties
and generaiize laws, but its pSwers are
necessarily limited. The only seeming rem
edy for the present troubles which can he

it the opportunity of proving its real Ise-
fulness. Certainly there is nothing better
within reach al present, especially when so

BUTTER FROM PEANUTS.
The Process L. simple and the Re-
suIting Product Cheap.

From the st. Louis GIobe-pcmocrat.
A new factory has just been put into
operation in Ko1omo, Ind, for the manu-
facture of butter from peanuts. For a
year or more Lane Brothers of that city
have been working on a process of making
butter from the peanut 10 compete with
the product of the farm COW, and have sue
ceeded in producing the desired article At
the present price of the nuts the butter can
be sold at fifteen cents per pound.
The process of manufacture is no secret.
The nuts, after the hulls are removed, are
carefully handpicked and faulty kernels re-
moved. They are then roasted in a large
rotary oven. Again they are gone over by
hand for the removal of scorched grains.
The nuts are then put through a mill and
ground fine as the finest flour, the nat
ural oil in the grains giving il the appear
ance and consistency Of putty as il leaves
the mill, except that il is more of an or
anga color. BY the addition of fltrated wa
ter, to reouce it TO a more pliable state the
butter is complete, no other ingredient not
even salt, being used. 1t never grows ram
cid, and keeps in any climate Ii is nut up

BOOKSHOPS IN HAVANA.
Run on the Plan of Few Sales and
Large Profits.
From the New York Pos

Some little improvement has been made
in Havana bookshops since the Americans
arrived there But they are still remark
ably antiquated and obsolete" remarks a
returned New Yorker. The newest books
in English are the expired copyright vel
loW-cevered novels that you can buy in
Nassau street from the hand cart men for
five cents, and which, having been obtained
from tourist secondhand, are sold in Ha-
Vana for fifty cents or so. On the shelves
there are few books in English, French or
Spanish that you could not imagine an
American wanting to read. and since Gen.
Ludlow forbade the sale of immoral and
obscene works the shelves have been much
lightened. There were no good editions or
fire bindings.

me Spanish English grammar of a we'll
known name she went into every bookshop
in town, and at last had to be satisfied with
a quantity dilapidated volume published in
1853; Ollendorf and Butler they have in

TO ENLARGE THE DISTRICT.
Proposition to Take Small Tract of
Land From Virginia.

very important question has been raised
by Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the Sen
ate committee on the District of Columbia,
which. 1t is hoped, will be in fair way
of solution by next December. Mr.. McMil-
Ian has called to the attention of the sena-
tors from Virginia proposition to have
the Old Dominion legislature agree to allow
a small portion of that tract of the state
which formerly formed part of the Dis
trict, to be receded back to the general gov
ernment to again form part of the home
of the national government.
The broken and continuous lines shown in
the above map indicate two lines one of
which Mr. Mcmillan desires to have again
established as the southern boundary of the
District, instead of the Potomac shore of
Virginia.. as at present. Mr. Mcmillan has
suggested this boundary and placed it just
