Two ancient kings were buried in Sc
cret. Attila, king Of the Huns, after his
siege of Rome, died in Hungary A. ID.
453. His soldiers, DESTROYS of giving
their great leader a right royal burial,
Enclosed his body first in a casket of
gold, this In one of silver and this in
one Of lead and transported it into a
desert. There slaves were selected, and
under the direction of men who were
sworn to secrecy they dug the grave of
the dead monarch. When this was ac-
complished no traces of the spot were
left. The slaves were all cruelty slain.
Alaric, king Of the Goths, the cele-
brated conqueror of Rome, died when
with his army at Cozenza, south Italy.
His men turned the course OF a river,
inferred the body of their sovereign,
with much treasure In It's bed and re-
stored the stream to its channel.
No man has ever lighted on the rest
ing place of either of these kings, who
in this respect resemble Moses, of
whom 1t is written, mo man knoweth
of his sepulcher unto this day"

Oriqin of the Orpingtons.

Among the breeds Of fowls that
have recently awakened a good deal
of interest among poultry raisers are
the Orpingtons. One of these breeds,
the Buff, has been admitted TO the
American Standard. There are also
Black Orpingtons, White Orpingtons
and Notified Orpintons. These breeds
all originated in England and are the
work of one man, VIM. Cook. Recent
ly a representative of the Farmers
Review obtained an interview with
Mr.. Cook and obtained from him the
following facts:
He was from seven to ten years in
forming each breed and getting it to
breed true to type. The Black Or
pington was the first to be brought
out" In forming this breed black
Minorca cock was used on black
Plymouth Rock hen-a sport Of that
breed. On the resulting pullets was
used a Black Langshan cock. That
gives two parts Langshan, one part
Minorca and one part Plymouth
Rock. The breed was brought out in
1885.
In 1889 was brought out the White
Orpington. In creating this breed a
White Leghorn cock was used on
black Hamburg hen, and on their pull
lets was put a White Dorking. So
they are one part Hamburg, one part
Leghorn and two parts Dorking.
The Bluffs" were brought out in
1895. In making the variety Golden
Spangled Hamburg cock was used on
a dark Dorking hen. On pullets from
this mating a Buff Cochin cock was
used. 1t took ten years to line breed
and get the birds coming true to type.
1t will be seen that this variety is
one part Golden Spangled Hamburg,
one part dark Dorking and two parts
Buff Cochin.
Another variety Of Orpingtons the
originator calls Diamond Jubilee Or
pingtons." This variety was formed
by using a Golden Spangled Hamburg
cock on a Buff Cochin hen. On the
pullets resulting from this cross was
used an old-fashioned notified cock.
