A Parson,s Predicament.

The Irish Cyclist is responsible for
the following bicycle yarn: at was
Sunday in County Glare, and the local
parson was riding his bicycle to morn
ing service, when he came to portion
of the road which was flooded to depth
of several feet. Here was nice state
of affairs. Several titled people were at
church ON this particular morning, and
the parson was determined to be there,
too, SO, in fear and trembling lest some
of his parishioners should happen along,
he proceeded to take off all his clothes
and tie them on the machine, which he
then held over his head, and waded
through the flood. No one saw him, and
he reached his church eventually, though
half an hour late"

Wild Pigeons.

1t seems that the wild pigeon, the
passenger pigeon of American ornithol-
ogy, is not altogether extinct, though
for all practical purposes, that is, as
marketable article, it may be said to be
gone forever. Authentic reports have
lately come to hand showing that iso-
lated small bands of these birds still ex
list in certain portions of the North
American continent. The most recent,
and perhaps the most authentic, of
these reports come from Michigan and
prove beyond all question of doubt
that the forests of that state do still
hold few survivors of that vast army
of birds whose numbers, while passing
to and fro over the face of the country

Eions still show a decided preference
toward the drive, while others argue
that this is the least important part Of
the whole game. Arguing along these
lines, one expert stated that he rarely
drove a ball over 100 yards, and very
often considerably less, yet he was able
to point with pride to certain 8 and 18
hole records that had not been beaten.
An advocate of the drive declared that
everything with him depended on his
tee shots. These were usually very long,
averaging close to 200 yards and he
declared that when he was not driving
well it affected his whole game. The
supporters of the second shot were also
numerous. They were of the opinion
that this was the real test, and upon it
hinged to great extent the ultimate
success of the player. There were others
who did not hesitate to stand up for the
short game, maintaining that more
contests were won and lost on the put
ting green's than in any other way.
They, of course, went upon the suppo-
sition that the players had made proper
nse of their drives and second shots.

How often to Feed Cows.

The COW is ruminant animal, and
this means that she takes time to digest
her food in the most thorough manner.
If fed literally night and morning and
in sufficient variety, she will eat more
heartily than if three full meals are
offered to her per day. At noon few
cornstalks or clover hay may be given.
In feeding grain to cows it should be
ground and mixed with enough cut
feed to make it bulky. If cows eat
whole grain or meal not mixed with
cut food, it goes to their second stom-
ach and does not come up to be chewed
in the cud. Boston Cultivator.

Queer aolfng.

Under peculiar conditions golf
match was recently played at Streetley,
England, between the Rev. w. @ R.
Bedford, rector of Sutton Coldfield, and
A. E. Wilson-Browne of Birmingham
The former used bow and arrows and
the latter an ordinary equipment. Each
flight of the arrow counted as stroke
and the bowman conceded odds of six
strokes to the golfer. In the accuracy
of the tee shots it was conceded that
the bowman would have an advantage,
but it developed that he also had the
better of the short game, and at the
turn Bedford was 8 up. He won the
match by up, and by strokes scored
II to Wilson Brownies "a.

Bicycle Racing.

Bicycle racing matters will be in
rather bad shape this year, says the
New York Sun. The League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen will have a fight for
control with the new National associa-
fion, and the Amateur Athletic union
will probably be drawn into it, The
suspension of tracks and men by the
league will undoubtedly result in some
bitter controversies. Mr., Motifs admin
istration as chairman of the league rae
ing board has been productive of large
harvest of trouble which is particular
ly unfortunate in view of the fact that
it could easily have been avoided.

SEVENTY DAYS OF DARKNESS.
Experience Of the GerIacher Ant
Arctic Expedition.

NEW YORK, May 5-The steamer
Coya, from South American ports.
brought some news about Captain
Adrian d. Gerlacher's Belgica Ant
arctic expedition. On March 21st, the
Coya put into Punta Arenas, a Chilean
trading settlement on Terra del Fuega
in the Straits of Magellan, and while
her skipper, Captain Thomas, was
ashore he met Dr. Cook of Brooklyn
who was one of those in charge of the
Belgica-
Captain Cook said he had a most in
teresting voyage and might go on an
other expedition before returning to
the United States. For severity days
the party was in total darkness. Two
men were lost, one overheard and one
from sickness. The Belgica was stuck
in the ice for twelve months while ex-
ploring AleXanderland.
Captain Thomas says that DR.. Cook
did not know of the Spanish American
war until told of it by Captain Thorn
as, who left him a file Of newspapers.
Captain Thomas brought with him q.
letter to post to Miss Anna E. Forbes.
Captain Cooks sweetheart. Miss
Forbes died about a year ago.

BLUEFIELDS TROUBLE.
The State of Affairs Not Believed
to be Very Critical.

WASHINGTON May 5.-In answer
to complaints by our Government that
its dispatches to and from our agents.
Consular and naval, in Nicaragua are
being intercepted and delayed. the
State Department has been informed
that the trouble is that the land lines
forming an essential part of the cable
system have been unavoidable in Mic
aragua. The department has been dis
patching there for it's orders and ad-
vices to and from Bluefields via Grey
town, by means of boats, but the SER
vice that way has also been found 70
be SO slow and unreliable that the plan
has been made Of communicating by
steamer with New Orleans, which in
wolves only delay of two or three days.
The state of affairs in Bluefelds. ac-
cording to the last reports to the State
Department, is not beived to be very
critical.
Mr. Merry, the United States Min
lister, has reached that place from
Managua, the capital. but he had not,
at last accounts, received his instruc-
lions to guide him in dealing with the
controversy between the American mer-
chants at Bluefields and the Nicara-
guam Government. He has been ad-
vised by cable that these instructions
are on the way, and he is awaiting their
arrival before taking any further steps.
Meanwhile the Government here is by
no means clear as to the legal right of
the United States merchants liz Blue
fields to claim exemption from the pay
ment of duties already paid 10 the in
surgent leader Reyes. and the whole
subject is now before the Attorney
General.
