The Lowest Form of Bird.

There is a peculiar bird commonly
known as the "kiwi," it's scientific
name being Apteryx manteli. 1t is the
lowest form of bird which exists, but
is so scarce that scientists are happy
to get specimen in any condition. 1t
is absolutely without wings or tail. Its
legs are short, stubby, but very strong,
and are used by this bird for digging.
The body covering is a cross between
hair and feathers, a material which is
very coarse. They can develop great
speed and make desperate fight when
attacked. Breeding them in captivity
has utterly failed, and only few mu-
seums can boast Of specimen. They
are now very rarely found in the for
ests and swamps in the north Of New
Zealand.

ORIGIN OF the Turban.

The origin of rhe turban must be
BOXED for not. as commonly believed,
among Moslems, but as a sign of au-
thority and honor dating back TO the
earliest periods OF Jewish history. The
term used in the Hebrew Bible for
putting on the bonnet Of the high
priest is from a root meaning Ito bind
round" The words inter, hood, dia-
dem, as used in tie Old Testament, are
only variations of the word turban.
Jerome tells us that the turban has a
place in the most ancient records Of
history. The variations as adopted by
Mohammedans are many. Their own
authorities hint at a thousand methods
of arranging the turban, which shows
not only the tribe and religious dis
tinction, but even the personal pecul-
iarities of the wearer.
An old legend traces the turban to
an act of desperate courage recorded Of
the ancient Levantines. A brave band
Of warriors are said to have wrapped
their winding sheets round their heads
as they devoted themselves to certain
death to save their comrades on the
battlefield.

He Met His Match.

The Russian marshal SuvarOff was
famous as a jester and was fond of
confusing the men under his command
by asking them unexpected and abb
surd questions. But occasionally he
met his match. Thus, one bitter Janu-
airy night, such as Russia only can pro-
duce, he rode up to a sentry and de-
manded:
How many stars are there in the
sky?'
The soldier, not a whit disturbed, an
swered cOolly:
wait a little, and I'll tell you" And
he deliberately commenced counting
lone, two, three etc.
When he had reached 100, Suvaroff,
who was half frozen, thought It high
time to ride off. not, however, without
inquiring the name of the ready reck-
oner. Next day the latter found him
self promoted.

The Gopher Snake.

It has long been question in our
minds as to how the gopher snake
caught the gophers on which he lives
but H. C. Heitzer tells how it was done,
having witnessed catch. Mr.. Snake
coiled his tail over the gopher hole, set
ting a snare for him. When the gopher
had crawled out Of the hole sufficiently
to permit the snakes tail to be drawn
about the body Of the gopher the coil
was fastened about Mr.. Gopher as
quick as fash.
1t was gradually drawn tighter and
tighter until the gopher fell over dead,
the life having been completely squeez-
ed out Of him. After the gopher is dead
the snake swallows him whole, and it
is not an unusual thing to find one Of
these snakes with a number of gophers
in him. The gopher is a great fighter
and if he was not caught in snare as
the one mentioned he would doubtless
make hard fight for life even with
snake.-Tulare Advance.

Prepare to Fight Fire.

A mass meeting of citizens was
held at Oklahoma City the night
after the fire, to pass resolutions
of sympathy for those who suf-
fered loss in the recent fire, and
to take steps toward bettering the
fire fighting facilities of that
place. Some of these days Ana
darko's citizens will be holding
the same kind of meetings.
Wouldn't it be better to discuss
the question before a fire, than
after? Oklahoma City has well
equipped fire department, and a
good system of waterworks, but
had, never less, narrow
escape from a whole sale confla-
grafton. 1t is only a question of
time when our city will have to
pass through a similar experience
and it will then be found that we
are utterly helpless to save our
beautiful city from the flames,
and it would be very difficult to
get the fire departments here
from neighboring cities, in time
to be of very much assistance.
Mass meetings, after the town is
destroyed, may be all right, and
may be the9neans of preventing
a recurrence of the disaster, but
the better way is to provide ade-
quate means for preventing
conflagration.

prosperous. 1t is one Of those
sad cases which will probably
never be explained. He leaves

THE COMMONER,
Mr.. Bryan's Paper.

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation of 100, 900 copies, record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper feldfo a national paper devoted
to the discussion Of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts: and his review Of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner's regularsubscription
price is 81. 90 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
$3.50. The regular transcription price OF
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is $500.
