Anti-Meat Eaters BecOming Numsr-
Gus in That COuntFy-Stsad
Lends HIS Sympathy.

W. T. Stead. editor Of the Review Of
Reviews, has extended his liberal SYM
pathy to yet another sect. The vegeta-
rians are the object of his latest inter
est. Mr.. Stead, although himself not
yet converted 10 a vegetarian diet,
heartily approves Of vegetarianism.
That is why he has given his country
place at Wimbledon, near London, for
q vegetarian garden party. Mrs. w. T.
Stead is also q sympathizer and viii,
with Mr.. Stead, receive the several hun
dred guests expected. Vegetarians from
all over London and its vicinity win be
present In addition to the garden party
proper there viii be an exhibition and
sale Of vegetable foods and wearing ap-
parel, featherless hats and leatherless
boots. The vegetarian society looks for
ward to a day when Mr.. Stead will be-
come q convert to their system.
Mrs. ormiston Chant, the undenOm-
national preacher who lectures fire.
Quently in America, says that the health
Of nations would be materially improved
Il men and women would make habit
Of retiring Into rest cures once in %
often. She believes particularly in the
benefits Of vegetarian cures. Another
sign Of progress among English anti
meat eaters is the widespread approval
Of the men and women that have en-
tered in various athletic sports. G. A.
Obey, the vegetarian bicyclist, has had
so many triumphs this spring that h
has been selected to represent Englisl

California Farmers win spread Az
Feady-Existing Disease Among
Pests By InOeulation.

The farmers Of Contra Costa county,
California, have hit upon a new plan to
get rid Of the squirrel pest, and through
their representatives In the board Of
supervisors have appealed to the uni
versity of California to aid them. Super
visors stow and Tormey presented the
new scheme. which will receive the back
ing Of the university.
II consists Of the spreading Of plague
that already exists among the squirrels
By artificial inoculation. The farmers
Of Contra Costa county have lately dis
covered that the squirrels have been
dying on from some new disease which
has attacked them. But the pests have
not been dying fast enough to please the
farmers. who think they have found &
way to assist the disease.
Some bright mind recently suggested
that the malady might be spread By cap
turing few Of the diseased animals, ex-
tracing the plague germs, and inoeulat-
Ing hundreds Of others, which would n
turn infect those among which they are
turned loose. The plan seems 70 be q aper-
fsctly feasible one and may solves the
problem of the squirrel pest, which has
annoyed farmers for q long time in Cal
ifornia.

Bird vVhIch. AIthough Uncagea,
Refuses e Leave.

Havana. Mason county. H., has one OF
the greatest curiosities In America. II
not IN tb7 world Mr.. Damhrin. county
treasure las q pet golden eagle. one
hat stays In the court house park with
out being Gagged. He ls az liberty to 80
when and where be pleases. Mr. Dana
rim feeds his pet twice a day. He can so
up to him and stroke him, Just as he
would a cat OF dog. When q street car
nival was held In Havana recently the
eagle was the greatest attraction there.
Every man, woman and child went to
the courthouse park to see him; so did
all the showmen. Every boat excursion
that came to Havana brought people
to see the eagle. Many have never seen
an eagle. and II they have have never
been so close to one. What surprise
everyone Is that the bird won't 60 away.
This Is the history Of the bird; A son
Of J. Wiley Smith, who lives about eight
miles southwest OF Mason City. shot
and crippled him last fall and took him
home and kept him until spring, when
his son Berry. brought him 70 Havana
and put him in a squirrel cage. But as
that was too small and he could not
learn to fly, as one Of his wings had been
shot. Smith had the business men and
county ofhcials donate enough TO build
cage about u feet square and he was
kept in that about six weeks. Mr.. DAM
arin fed and tanned him.
He had a stump Of q tree put in the
large cage, and he stays on It all the
time, when not flying or walking In the
park. AS the cage was still not large
enough to let him fly. they took the cage
away to give him his liberty. But the
bird will not leave and is q curiosity to
everyone. The birds name is Dick, and
all the children Of Havana call him by
name.
