It is to be hoped that not many more
quails will be slaughtered until the law
prevents their killing. The truth of
the whole business is that the land
owners ought to forbid their xii ing and
encourage greater increase in this
valuable family of birds. So far as we
have heard, or observed, the quail does
depredate on any crop but to the reverse,
feeds mostly on worms, bugs and otherr
pests, thereby aiding, rather than
hindering, the farmer in the production
Of crops. The law does not afford suf-
ficient protection to stimulate increase
in this feathery tribe as it should, and
We would be glad to see the period,
legalizing their killing, shortened to less
than half what it is now.

CITY COUNCIL In
CALLED SESSION
Election TO be Ordered to Deter
mine Issuance of Bonds for Adj
ditional School Buildings.

There was held Saturday afternoon
a special session Of the city council to
further consider that proposition to
build school house in the Fourth
Ward, and to make other improves
ments asked for by the school board.
Capt. s. P. Allen and w. II. Hewett
were appointed to take census of the
city. Their commissions were issued
this morning, and these gentlemen are
now engaged in this work.
The council considered the matter of
bond issue for these buildings;
question will have to be voted on by
the qualified voters OF the city, and
the election will be called as soon as
it can be ascertained the amount of
bonds that are necessary and can be
issued by the city for that purpose.
The anticipated issue of bonds, so
the Herald is informed, will not neces-
state an additional burden on the
taxpayers, as the present legal rate
of % cents on the 500 valuation of as
sessed property for 1904 for permanent
improvements will be ample to carry
the bonds required, and provide the
interest and sinking fund for the pres
ent bonded Indebtedness of the city.
The Herald believes the bond issue
will be voted by the people, for they
realize the matter of school buildings
is getting to be desperate, and some
thing must be done to provide more
buildings, or Palestine children cannot
be educated.

Almost every boy has horseshoe
magnet among his collection of odds and
ends, which is generally source of
amusement, but if he has an electro
magnet the experiments with it are far
more amusing.
Electro magnets differ from steel
magnets in that they are made of soft
iron and are rendered magnetic by an
electric current passed around them.
The stronger the current the greater the
magnetism
Such magnet can be made from any
scrap of soft or cast iron, from the size
OF piece of telegraph wire to that of a

THE ORDER OF THE FLY.
Ancient Military Organization Which
Existed Among the
Egyptians.

You all know, doubtless, the custom
all European kings have of comforting
decorations on men who have in one
way or another distinguished them
selves. King Edward, for instance,
every now and then confers the Order
Of the Garter.
This is not a modern custom, how
ever. 1t prevailed among the ancient
Egyptians, too. They had a military
order called the Order of the Fly.
Flies in Africa are like flies else
where, only very much more so. They
tease and worry poor human beings
almost out of their wits. Driven away,
they come back to precisely the same
nose or bald head.
This habit of theirs had caught the
notice of the Egyptians. who thought
that in this respect a fly was like a
good general, who, no matter how bad
ly or how often beaten, always re-
turned to the attack. So, they deco
rated their great generals with this or
der-a golden chain, from which. at
various points. were suspended flies of
gold four inches wide across the closed
wings.

SWAN TO HIS WEDDING.
New Yorker Was Marooned on Island

Syracuse, N. Y.-The wedding OF
George Cooper, salesman, and Miss
Jeanette Villains, pretty stenogra-
pher formerly employed in the ST. Cloud
hotel, occurred the other day according
to schedule, but in order to reach the
side of his bride in time for the cere-
mony the prospective bridegroom was
forced to swim mile in the none too
warm waters of the st. Lawrence river.
When Mr.. Cooper's friends discovered
that he was contemplating a secret
marriage they quietly found out the de-
tails and then laid their own plans. BY
some means, not plain at this time, the
bridegroom was inveigled to a barren
island in the st. Lawrence near CLAYTON
where he was marooned and told to get
back the best way he could.
The nearest point of land was Grind

to swim, and. plunging in, he boldly
struck out. Being a good swimmer he

Wives Die Suddenly When
He Gets Money.

Paris-The fascination exercised by
good-looking boy adventurer over a
number of wealthy women formed the
thread Of an amazing story, as roman
tic in its outlines as its details are sor-
did, which the public prosecutor told
at the Paris assizes.
If the prosecutors story is substan-
tiated, boy Bluebeard" without d
peer has been discovered.
Two men and a woman are on trial
for attempting to obtain $150000 by
fraud. The interest of the case cen
tered around one prisoner, a young man
calling himself Marquis de Massa Malsa-
pima.
According to the public prosecutor,
his real name is Massa, and he is the
son Of Nice halter. He is now "a
and for the last seven years he has been
living on the credulity of wealthy wom-
en-, some Of whom he married, and two
of whom have died under mysterious
circumstances.
After he had received good educa-
ton at the Nice Lycee he began to con-
tribute society news 10 the Riviera pa
pers. In this way he had the entry to
"a number Of ladies' houses, and he soon
began to live the life of a wealthy society
man. The want of a title was a draw
back to his social success, so he assumed
that of the Marquis de Massa- Malaspina.
Leads Spendthrift Life.
1t is alleged that he then began to live
a spendthrift life upon money which he
extracted from well-to-do society wom-
en-. Professional beauties. the daugh-
tiers of well-to-do tradesmen and wom-
en- of all classes were brought within
his mesh.
When necessary he did not hesitate
to contract marriage. In Vienna he
captivated wealthy lady the Countess

wound part and wind the wire back
again to the rear fiange.
In this manner the winding should be
carried on until the space between the
tianges is completely filled up.
Wind the lower spool in a similar
manner and then connect the bottom
wire from one spool with the top wire
from the other, as shown in Fig 3, leav-
ing the unattached wires to be united
with battery.
After the wire has been wound in a
neat and compact manner the side of
each spool can be covered with a piece
of soft leather, iced or enamel cloth to
protect the wires from becoming chafed
and short circuited.'
The meaning Of the term short cir
cult is that the electricity passes from
wire to wire across a field to reach
it's destination by exposed parts of wires
being brought into contact instead of
being made to pass around the coil
through the entire length of the wire
as it should.

and useless without an electric current
