MORE sNIPE
But They Are Hard to Catch in a
 Dry Season.

Some time ago young man from the east came out to this country for his health. He is a gentlemanly sort of fellow, of good appearance and in all most everything is strictly up-to-date. But his early education was sadly neg lected in one respect. He had never heard of snipe, or a least was not ac- 1uainted with the method of catching them in the west. That however, does not detract from his being a good lciti zen, as many a more notable person. age has been caught in traps laid for Snipe. It only serves to add emphasis to the argument that every well writ ten text book on natural history de signed for use in the public schools should contain a chapter especially de- voted to snipe and the modern methods of hunting them.
 The young man in question is not so much of an invalid as to destroy his usefulness and he rightfully figured that the best way to health was to rough it out in the free air, so he se- cured employment in the commissary department at the Arizona Water conn pany's ditch camp on the Arizona canal north of the city. There are about a hundred men employed there and it. was but natural that some of them as the days went by should notice and remark upon the wonderful opportuni- ties for snipe hunting In that locality. This. of course, awakened the curios- ity of the eastern man and he made as much of a study of the habits of snipe and the customary method of hunting them as was possible by asking ques- tions of those around him. He was told that only an outline of the plan of capture could be given him, as he would have to participate to fully un derstand.
 He grew more eager as the days passed and finally one day told the men from whom he had received the most information that he wanted to go snipe hunting that night. They were tired and tried to persuade him to postpone the hunt. but no; he was anxious and could not wait. So he

Sir Thomas Temple. The ring is prized family heirloom, having once been in the possession of one of Mr. Temples ancestors. who lived in France during the revolution. This ancestor was a royalist, and was sent to prison for his championship of the king and queen. He languished in jail many months, his only solace being the sweet little tune played by his ring. which would make music for him whenever the spring was pressed. Additional value was attached to the ring by the unfortunate man because it had been made by the hands of his grandfather. When he was sent to the guillOtine he marched bravely to the scaffold, hold ing his hand to his ear that he might hear the delicate music to the last. eventually the ring found it's way back to England to the Temple family, who now prize it as one of their most valu- able ons.-Philadelphia Rec ord

BIDS FOR ARMOR.
Opened at the Navy Department 1es-
 terday.

Washington, Aug. S.-Millions of dol lars will probably be expended for the purchase of armor for new warships as a result of bids that were opened at the navy department today. The contract is the largest ever given by the navy for armor. and is to supply ships with protection authorized at the last two previous sessions of congress, in all eight battleships. three armored cruis- CTS and thin protection for three unpro- tected cruisers.
 The result of the bidding is awaited with considerable interest for the req son that several smaller firms, in ad- dition to the two big companies which have heretofore mOnOpolized the armor business, have entered the present con- petition. and the navy department eX- poets that some of these may secure awards for the variety of plates that they are competent to manufacture.

POULTRY RAISING IN BELGIUM.
Care That is Taken in Raising the
 'Poulet de BruXelIes."

Washington, Aug. S.-A report on the method of raising fowl for the market in Belgium has been sent to the state department by Consul-General Lin coln. at Antwerp.
 "The succulence of the 'poulet de Bruxelles' has a very widespread repu- taion." says the report, mot only among gourmets, but among all who have had the good fortune to travel upon the continent and to meet the same on the table.
 "The difference in quality between the fowl above mentioned and one of the same age and size of the ordinary variety is shown by the fact that the first is sold in nearly all the markets in this country at double the price.
 ''The choice of eggs for setting pur- poses is considered a matter of great importance, and the freshest obtain able are almost invariably used. The best breeders seldom take eggs old>r than eight days for raising the best quality. Care is taken that the eggs given to one hen should be of the same age.
 "The food first given the young birds must be made up of ingredients con- taining large quantities of nitrogen, as this is required for the formation of the tissues. It is customary to mix with the food eggs. milk and the blood of earthworms, field worms, and that of common variety of fish; also to in- troduce, for the formation of bone cer- tain quantities of phosphate of lime found in grain and flour. In the early days flour should be given. The grain given is wheat, rice, millet. buck wheat and corn, raw or cooked. Cooked potatoes are also often given"
