Il yulture.,

The question is mooted whether tho
vulture knows Of its quarry by sight or
smell. How does it communicate the
news Of a feast to It's fellows7 a tiger
had been killed. s5s
Colonel Ramsay ordered the carcass
of the, skinned tiger to be dragged out
from under the thick mango trees into
the open. Taking out his watch, he
asked us to make a guess as to how
long The vultures would take to clean
the flesh Off the bones. Some one said
half IN hour. AS there was not a vul-
ture in sight, this seemed v en betting,
but Colonel Ramsay gave them ten
minutes, which proved to be correct.
There was one vulture at first seen
soaring round and round very high up
the cloudless sky. He closed his
wings and dropped on to the carcass
With a swoop. In two minutes the sky
vas full of vultures. all concentrating
from every side On the spot, and arriv-
ing with all the impetus their drop
from a great height gave them as fast
as it takes to tell the story. Then
there commenced a frightful scene Of
literal carnage, every one tearing with
sharp, hooked bill at the entrails first,
then at the flesh, all fighting for room
to get a piece and tumbling over one
another with frantic haste.-"The For
ests Of Upper India and Their Inhab-
~itants," by r. w. Weber.

Political Economists.

While great fortunes and great in
dustries have almost invariably been
created by u~neducated men, parvenus
unembarrassed with learning, who
taught themselves what they found
necessary to know, we find, on the 9TH
er hand, that those men who have made
commercial science, political economy,
their study have not shown any sue.
cess in business and have remained
theorists. Most political economists
have had to live on their pen. Nj. Cob
den went bankrupt in business. 1t is
true that Ricardo was well off, but he
was a ~stockbroker by trade, and with
him political economy was only a hob
by, not a serious result. 1t is strange
how few business men Of the first rank
have a good word to say Of political
economy.-N1neteenth Century.

doctor, is a purse in which I have put

AN IMPOSING ARCH
Handsome Design Completed for the
June Carnival Entrance.

KEGS & Colburn have completed the
plans for the arch that is to mark the en-
trance to the Industrial street for the
June fair and carnival, work upon which
Is shortly to begin. The arch Is to be
located at First avenue N and Sixth
street, instead of standing on Sixth street
midway between Hennepin and First ave-
nues N, as last year, and the court of
honor is to extend full block from Hen
nepin avenue north on Sixth street.
The arch is to be of oriental design, both
in architecture and coloring, and Is
quadrangular affair, an archway eighteen
feet in the clear spanning the bisecting
streets on all four sides. At
each corner is to- be tower
surmounted by flagstaff rising to
a total height of seventy feet. The arch
will be provided with an eight-foot bal
cony which will serve both for the band
stand and the reviewing stand of the
queen of the carnival. The court of honor
will be lined on either side by obelisks,
each having many clusters Of colored
lights. The entrance to the court of honor
will be marked by two towers seventy feet
high.
Advertising matter is already being sent
out along the lines of railroads upon which
excursions are expected. The carnival
colors. red, yellow and black, are shown In
medallions of various sizes. A hundred
| being distributed, and business firms are
| to be asked to use the same form for ad-
vertising the fair upon their stationery.

Starving Firms Say Russian 0ppres-

swedes and Norwegians Form an
Organization to Promote In
ternational Fraternity.

Heartrending stories of restitution and
distress are told by DIR. Louis Klopsch OF
the Christian Herald, who has returned
from his good Samaritan work in Finland
and Sweden.
DR., Klopsch represented the Finnish
famine relief fund. to which charitable
Americans contributed close to $160,00O.
and his: tour included the famine stricken
districts. in which 10000 unfortunates are
still struggling to keep body and soul to-
gether with coarse bread as their sole artl-
Gle of food.
Accompanied by ellison Willets, a New
York correspondent, DR.. Klopsch made the
long trip across the snow barrens OF Fin
land on sleds, sleeping at posthouses, VS.
iting the famine stricken homes and
studying the methods of relief employed
by the Finnish committee that handles the
money and does the practical work
II cannot overdraw the picture OF Fin
lands misery said the doctor. The fam
| inc is in practically every home. but that
is only half. the smaller half, of the woe
| that fills the country.
Russian oppression is even harder to
bear than hunger. and wherever I went
half famished Films cried to me in their
suffering; Better to starve than to live
| as Russian serfs.
"Snce last October no man, woman or
/ child in the famine district has tasted
meat, fish. or anything save bread. Until
a few weeks ago they managed to live in
some miraculous fashion upon hunger
bread--a tasteless, crusty substance made
of chopped straw and pine bark scrappings
mixed with a little rye flour. Now the

armed with American money, has placed
