WALK BLINpLY TO DEATH.

One of the Keenest Birds Is Often
Deceived by His Visual Organ.
After trudging all day along the top
of the mountain with no success at all,
inasmuch as had shot several times,
but failed to bring down my game,
ran across an old hunter, J. w. Hyde.
After the usual greeting we seated our
selves on an old log to exchange notes.
put the question:
"Why are the turkeys always on the
run when / see themY
The old man spit through his teeth,
changed his position, laid his long,
muzzle loading rifle on the ground, put
the fourth portion of plug of tobacco
In his mouth and proceeded to tell me
why the turkeys were always on the
run when | saw them:
"Of all the game l have ever hunted
turkeys display the most wonderful
power of vision. l cannot tell just
why this is. | have made microscop-
ical examination of the eyes of the
hawk, eagle, fox, weasel and OWL but
find no material difference in the lens
and retina. The ciliary muscles and
the iris are exactly the same, yet none
of these keen visioned creatures can
compare with the turkey in point of
seeing. | remember the acuteness of
sight displayed by one old gobbler.
had carefully concealed myself, and no
part of my body was visible but the
upper part of my head. A puff of wind
slightly disturbed the .brim of my hat.
He saw it and Immediately took to
flight.

the mountains in Georgia. | was lying
behind log and was carefully hidden.
all but the upper part of my face. A
turkey was slowly coming in response
to my call and was carefully noticing
for signs of danger. A mosquito was
singing me fearfully on the forehead.
l raised my finger slowly to crush it,
and as soon as the finger came within
range of vision cluck went the turkey,
and he was gone.
''Now, the most inexplicable thing In
regard to hunting turkeys is that, with
all their acuteness Of sight, the surest
way to get shot is to sit down In an
open place with your back against
tree, in full view, and, strange to say,
they will walk up within ten steps
without seeing you"
Just then we noticed that the sun
was down. The old hunter invited me
to spend the night at his camp, which
I did and had most pleasant time

Ancient origin of Military Salute.

When did the military salute come
into use? 1t certainly dates from the
earlier half Of the fifteenth CEN

the "Speculum Humane Salvationis,"
which was issued before the invention
of printing by movable types. there is
an exceedingly quaint illustration In
which Abraham Is represented as sa-
luting Melchisedec. The patriarch is
in medieval armor and apparently on
guard, and it would seem that Mel
chisedec is bringing him refreshments
of water, and the salute is distinctly
the military one still In use.

GENERAL WHEELER.

Now that Gen. Wheeler is on his
way to Washing ton there comes up the
question as to his right to seat on the
floor of the house of Representatives.
1t Is sincerely to be hoped that there
will be no captious opposition to the
esumption by this brave soldier and
statesman of the position to which he
was elected by the people of his state.
for, in his interview with the HERALD
reporter, he showed a knowledge and
an appreciation of the situation in the
Philippines that will be most valuable
in congress at this hour. There are
precedents in his favor; but If there
were not. it would be the handsome
thing to establish one to fit his parti-
cular case.
Gen. Wheeler performed valorous
service to the country in Cuba during
the short war between Spain and the
United States-service that his
and which they wish to see him re-
warded for. The late war developed
no more picturesque figure than this
soldier of the old confederate army,
who donned the blue when the flag was
assailed, and went forth to do battle
for his country.
Let his valor and patriotism be re-
warded by congress as he deserves.
He has been a good soldier, and he
was a good lawmaker in the nation
lower house of congress, where he
should be permitted to remain without
eavil or complaint on the part of small
men like Mr.. Bailey, of Texas.

REASONABLE TALK

From the Pittsburg News.
The rebels in the Philippines, It is
announced, have been practically
brought into subsection, the backbone
of the insurrection being broken. but
there are rebels at home, no less dan
gerous opponents of the government OF
the United States, who should be
brought to book for their reasonable
words and actions. The term TRAITOR
is not too strong to apply TO those so
called ''anti-imperialists" who met at
Philadelphia yesterday and INDUCED
in reasonable language. Referring to
President Mckinley, Frank Stephens
of that city said: ''That murderer is
the man who is chiefly to blame for
the shame that rests upon this coun-
try"
Can the ''antis" 60 much farther and
keep outside of prison bars? Will
they take up arms against the govern
mens? Such action would but render
rebels In deed those who are now
rebels in thought. Liberty of speech
is not license. The principle of free
speech permits no man in this country
to apply opprobrious epithets to the
chief executive. Let the hot-hesded
'antis,'' disappointed at their defeats,
perceive whittier their reckless man
ner of speaking is leading them. The
president a murderer? This style Of
speaking will not make many votes fo'
the "antis.''
