INJUNCTION ISSUED.
Polk County Supervisors Cannot
Duild New Courthouse Until
Further Orders of the Court.

The supreme court has issued an in
junction restraining the supervisors of
Polk county from taking any further
action under the vote of the electors
of Polk county in favor of the issu-
ance of bonds and the building of a
new courthouse until further order of
the court. This does not prevent the
tearing down of the old courthouse and
the removal of the county offices to
the temporary quarters being pre-
pared. new courthouse cannot be
built until the question of the validity
of the election ordering it has been
passed upon by the supreme court. The
faction which wanted the courthouse
built on the river front secured this
injunction preventing the board from
building on the old site. An effort will
be made to get the legislature to pass
a law permitting boards of supervisors
to condemn property for courthouse
purposes. The voters of Polk county
ordered the courthouse built on the
river front. Property owners inter-
ested in having it built on the old site
secured a small slice of land in the
desired sites and refused to sell, so it
could not be built there.

THE END.
Clay and Civilization.

A solution Of the problem why the earli-
est known civilizations-those of Baby
lonia, Egypt and China-should have
made their appearance in the deltas Of
great rivers has at last been suggested. 1t
has been shown that clay, which for prac-
tioal purposes Is insoluble in water, will
nevertheless combine with 1t to q certain
extont, remaining in state of suspension
known as oolloidal or gelatinous. In this
condition it has the curious property Of
absorbing like sponge any crystallizable
salts, Is, for instance, those of nitrogen.
But If into the water containing this COL
loidsl clay a solution Of common salt be
poured, the clay, with the heterogeneous salts
that it holds, like a trap, will instantly be
thrown down as woolly precipitate.
Now, this is exactly what happens with
great river like the Nile. During its
periodic foods 1t holds in solution a large
quantity Of colloidal clay. This clay in its
turn attracts from tho air quantities of
tho nitrogen, which Is, as Sir William
Crookes has informed us, the life of plants.
On meeting the salt water Of the sea this
clay, with its imprisoned nitrogen, Is
thrown down and remains behind as

AsxIun For Ani,nnI.-

The Englishnan (Calcutta) contains a
most interesting account of the workhouse
or asylum for aged and infirm beasts and
birds that was established some 10 years
ago by society of influential Hindoos. 1t
is near the Sodepur station, about ten
miles from Calcutta, and is under the con-
troll of manager, with a staff of 80 serv-
ants and an experienced veterinary sur
geon.
In the place at present there are 979
paupers-to wit, 1873 bulls, SO7 COWS, III
calves, ~ horses, 10 water buffaloes, 80
sheep, 10 goats, 141 pigeons, A cocks and
hens, cats, 8 monkeys and dogs This
remarkable asylum is described as being
most systematically and mercifully man
aged. The COW paupers have especially q
good time of it, inasnnlch as, on the occa-
ion OF the "mela," natives go from far
and near to decorate and worship them.

HUNTING WILD GEESE,
Decoy Fowls That Arc Glad to En-.
trap Their Own Kind.

Decoy Fowls That Arc Glad to En-.
trap Their own Kind.
In many parts of the south Wild goose
breeding is carried on for the benefit Of
sportsmen, especially along the reed bound
shores of Hyde county, N. c., where years
ago some one wounded goose, bred from
1t and spread Its product through the dis
triot. Here are goose yards. and as soon
al a hunter enters the yard the inmates
know, like dogs, that they are going
hunting and squawk, fight and struggle
to be the first to be taken out and placed
in the coop or bag In which they are car
ried to tho grounds. Pieces of green,
tough rooted turf are cut and staked out
in four or five inches of water, and a
goose is tethered to each stake and allow
cd to stand on the sod Thus placed, the
goose has the appearance of resting. The
hunter retires to his blind to watch, not
the sky line, but the tethered geese. Sud-
denly one stirs, another follows suit, q
muffled sound is made by one, and then
away off will be seen q streak of moving
gray dots, which quickly develop into Q
flock, gander and goose in the lead, gos-
lings in the rear. The birds drop we'll
out Of shot to see If the quality of the geese
on the sods permits visit without lost of
caste.
The goshngs, needless of social forms,
gayly start forward to gossip with the de-
coys, but the parents head them off, scold-
ing, cackling with many modulations and
much emphasis of tone, Cabling wise
saws and modern instances innumerable,
as wise parents have done to children since
the world began, until gradually the gan
der himself yields to the clamorous gable
Of the deooy flock, which has kept up u
flood of praises of the choice feeding
ground. He slowly drifts down with
much Importance, his females behind, the
youngsters In their train. His eye is glued
on that patch of reeds, and even mans
eye at the opening no bigger than dol
lar, bright coat button glinting in the
sun, the CLEAN of diamond or the look
Of gun, even the awkward flop Of teth-
cred goose from off its sod, is sufficient to
send them away bag and baggage, and
good day, good day to them.
A curious feature of these live deooy
geese Is that they must not be shot over.
The hunter 10 warned that, no matter
what happens, he must wait until the
strangers paddle to one side OF the other
Of the deooys, and, failing that, he must
let his chance so by, for If once he fires
directly over the tsthered birds they get
nervous and at the approach Of stranger
fooks repember what happened, and,
showing fear, disturb and unsettle the
strangers.
Firing to the side they do not appear to
mind, and the older birds, who have been
out one or two seasons, when they see the
gun go up, "down charge, like veteran
softer or pointer, on their pieces Of sod,
chattering like parrots after the wild birds
are dropped. Tanned geese have been used
on Long Island and other places, but not
30 generally as in Hyde county.-Chioago

He Saw the Race.

On one occasion Mr.. Justice Hawkins
was sitting at the Lincoln assize court on
the morning of the day on which the pop.
ular Lincoln Handicap was to be run. AT
the close OF case he turned to the Jury,
and IN the easy, pleasant manner, which
SO rarely failed in its effect, he blandly adj
dressed the 10 good men and true. "Gcn.
tlemen of the jury" said he, sit has been
brought to my notice that there is an
event of some local Importance about to
transpire this afternoon. l should be very
loath to stand for a moment between Won
gentlemen and your participation in your
local celebration. Any expression of opin-
ion therefore will receive my most serious
consideration.
But the fish did not take the bait. The
IL honest tradcsmen, torn roughly from
their respective and respectable business
by the strong arm of the law wished only
to get back to their work as soon as DOS

ton, the foreman rose and announced that
they had no expression of opinion to offer.

FOR your communication, gentlemen, said
his lordship. Tho court is adjourned
until II o'clock tomorrow morning. -

Rhetoric nndLnM.

Historically the Declaration of indie.
pendence cannot for a moment be put up.
on the same plane as tho constitution.
The former was political manifesto, is.
sued by revolutionary body, and like
most such manifestoes was a rhetorical
appeal for support. The latter is the fun
damental law of the country, which can be
quoted in courts, and according to which
the rights of the individual may be gagged.
Leaving aside rhetoric and an appeal to
the feelings, it lays down carefully and
exactly the really essential maxims of
good government. 1t very wisely leaves
the subject of political rights almost I'M
touched, but it does lay great emphasis
upon the maintenance of civil rights

to heaven and kissed it. And, as he kissed
1t, the long tapering upper spars of the
phantom vessel, the yards and sails that
were set, fell into dust, futtered in the
air, and sank upon the wave. The main
mast, foremost, bowsprit, everything above
the deck crumbled into atoms and disap
peared.
Again he raised the relic to his lips, and
the work of destruction continued; the
heavy iron guns sank through the decks
and disappeared; the crew of the vessel
(who were looking on) crumbled down
into skeletons, and dust, and fragments
Of ragged garments; and there were mono
left on board the vessel in the semblance
Of life but the father and son.
Once more did he put the sacred emblem
to his lips, and the beams and timbers
separated, the decks of the vessel slowly
sank, and the remnants Of the hull floated
upon the water; and as the father and son
the one young and vigorous, the other
old and decrepit-still kneeling, still en-
braoing with their hands raised to heaven,
sank slowly under the deep blue wave, tho
lurid sky was for moment illumined by
lightning cross
Then did the clouds which obscured the
heavens roll away swift as thought-the
sun again burst out in all his splendor-
the ripping waves appeared to dance with
JOY. The screaming sea gull again whirled
in the air, and the scared albatross once
moro slumbsred on the wing, the porpoise
tumbled and tossed in his sportive play,
the nlbieore and dolphin leaped from the
sparkling sea. All nature smiled as If 1t
rsjoiced that the charm was dissolved for
ever, and that the phantom ship was no
moro.
