Dressed Turkeys,

Miss Sallie Blake, who lived in Cal
vert county, Md, some years ago, was
in the habit of gathering chicken
grapes in the autumn and making them
into medicine by preserving them in
spirits.
1t happened once, after the contents
Of jar containing the decOction had
been exhausted, that Miss Blake emp
tied liquor soaked grapes on the ground.
Here her fine brood of turkeys quickly
gobbled them.
Presently Miss Blake found the tur-
keys lying on the ground, and not real
izing the cause of their stupor She
thought they were dead. In order to
realize something from the feathers,
she had the turkeys picked. The car

The next morning there was great
hue and cry from the servants in the
back yard, and looking out of the Win
dow, Miss Blake saw her turkeys walk
ing about absolutely bare except for a
few tail and wing feathers.
In order to protect them from the
cold. the good woman bought enough
red flannel to make each turkey Il COM
Portable garment. Very soon, to the
wonder of the neighborS far and wide,
Miss Blake's turkeys sta!ked abroad,
wearing their red coats with the same
easy grace with which they had worn
their TEA Companion.

Queer Revenge,

Speaking of queer revenge" said an
Englishman, Il remember how, accord
ing to friend of mine, the natives of
certain villages in India treat their en-
emies.
"Do you know what they do? They
just get a few handfuls Of rice and
sprinkle it on the roofs of the people
they hate.
Then what do you think happens?
Why, then the monkeys come focking
down from all the trees on to that roof
after the rice. They eat all there is on
the surface of the roof, and then. to
get at the stray grains that have lodged
in the crannies, they begin to pull the
shingles off Wherever there is grain
to be seen far down in some crack or
other place they pull the roof up to get
at it, and finally, 10 and behold, there
is no roof left! The monkeys have torn
it all away. Then the man who spread
the rice laughs subtly, for he has had
his revenge, and yet no one knows and
he cannot be punished

Trimming Il Hunting Horse.

The trimming of Il hunting horse is
thus described by Sewell Ford in
Horses Nine" When the time was
ripe began the hunting lessons. Pasha
came to know the feel of the saddle
and the voice of the hounds He was
taught the long, easy lope. He learned
how to gather himself for sail through
the air over hurdle or a water jump.
Then, when he could take five bars
clean, when he could clear an eight
foot ditch, when his wind was so sound
that he could lead the chase from dawn
until high noon, he was sent to the
stables of Virginia tobacco planter
who had need of a new hunter and
who could afford Arab blood.

What Various States Are Doing TO

What Various States Are Doing TO
Secure Good Roads.
Many states are now spending mil
lions of dollars every year in the inn
provelnent of public highways. There
are state road Improvement associa-
tons in twenty-four states, highway
commissions in eleven states, and the
National Good Roads association is
represented in twenty-seven states.
Some states have neither state road
improvement laws nor is any effort
cessity compels the farmers and nfer-
chants to act in unison to preserve an
equilibrium of the market.
New Jersey now has the best roads
and Missouri perhaps the worst, says
a writer in the Horseman. New Jer-
sey has recently expended 1880, 900 In
road improvements and built 7UO miles
farm products than any state in the
Union and has 100000 miles Of roads,
so per cent of which are impassa BILE
five months in twelve. Some eastern
and few of the southern states have
increased their road appropriations and
are now spending goodly sum for
road building and repairing.
There are now about $4,000 road Off
ctals in the United States, nine national
good roads associations and any num-
Der of local organizations. The Ma
t1onal Good Roads association, fore
most in the fight for better highways,
is doing an excellent work under the
direction of W. H. Moore and r. W.
Richa rdson, the first men to secure the
running of a good roads train" A
number of states have annual appro-
priations, but great deal of the pub
lie improvement is done by farmer
capitalists who have long ago realized
the economies of the good roads prob
lem
Highway commissions have l1te1y
been created in Michigan and North
Carolina. while Massachusetts, Indt
ana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania Tennes-
see. Mississippi and Missouri have pro-
vided for the issuance Of bonds for
road Improvement and bridge building
along the country highways. In Ne
brasla, Oklahoma and Minnesota road
taxes have recently been made payable

expended in road Improvement. Wide
tire laws have gone into effect In Con
necticut, Indiana. Minnesota. Califor-
mia, Rhode Island and Penns yivani".
The states of Indiana and Pennsylva-
MIA have passed laws fixing the weight
of loads 10 be hauled over colmtr-'

In a recent Egyptian review may be
found some curious extracts from Al
DjaheZ, a celebrated scientist of the
tenth century. Speaking of the ia
vorite dishes of the ArabianS of that
epoch, he says that they considered
the flesh of young dogs a great deli
cacy and also ate grasshoppcrs and
scorpions with much relish. Moreover,
they esteemed the flesh of black cats
highly, since they maintained that any
one who ate it could not be injured
either by Sorcery or by the evil eye.
Al Diahez also says that he was dis
appointed when he found that the
Arabian tribes of Bassorah did not eat
grasshoppers. but on the other hand.

the famous poet Roobah. feasting roy

they did not consider it right to eat

Mice That SubSist on Scorpions

Among the queer forms of animal life
that inhabit Death valley is Il mouse
that has acquired such a taste for Scor-
pionS that they form its entire bill Of
fare. The scorpion carries It's formida-
bic armament in the end Of its slender,
elongated abdomen in the shape of an
exceedingly venomoGs hooked sting.
When disturbed it eleVates this in the
air and goes in search OF its diSturber.
But it is comparatively slow in its mo-
lions. while mice are proverbial for
their QuickneSS the world over. The
mouse learned many generations ago
where the scorpion carries its weapon,
and when he meets it he leaps ut the
uplifted abdomen. takes off the sting at
a single bite and proceeds to make L
meal of his helpless prey. 1t is sup
posed to be the only animal that rel
isles scorpions.
