FEAThERED CAUTIONS.
Some Very Greedy Birds That Arc
Tremendous Feeders.

Some Very Greedy Birds That Arc
Tremendous Feeders.
Despite the fact that "the appetite
Of a bird" has become a common phrase
for light eating, investigations show
that birds are tremendous feeders. The
diet of the average kestrel "a small Eu-
ropean hawk is calculated at 1000
mice month, to say nothing of insects
and worms. The barn owl is as vora
clous as the kestrel. An Investigator,
after caging one Of these birds, gave 1t
first six Immediately disappeared, each
with a gobble and a gulp, and the owl
did its very best to treat the seventh
In like manner. Limitations Of alb
dominal capacity, however, prevented,
and though the gobble came off the
gulp did not, so that for twenty min
utes or SO the tail Of the seventh mouse
dangled from the corner Of the birds
beak. But in due course it swallowed
the body, and three hours later the
pangs Of hunger reasserted themselves
| and the owl ate four more mice.
Four pounds would be heavy weight
for heron. Yet one Of those birds,
| which was trapped in England, dis
gorged two recently swallowed trout,
one Of which weighed two pounds and
| the other one and a half pounds. An
other captured had contrived to put
away three trout averaging three-quar-
tiers Of a pound apiece, although it was
only four months old, and another had
dined upon seven small trout, together
| with a mouse and thrush.
Among the greediest birds are wood
pigeons, which will continue to gulp
down food until their crops are almost
at the bursting point. From one Of
these birds, shot as it was returning
| from a raid in the fields, no fewer than
| 800 grains Of wheat We're taken. An
other had contrived to cram down no
fewer than 600 peas. A third was en-
deavoring to sustain nature with 100
beech nuts and fourth with sixty
acorns.

The Origin of Grocer.

Grocer appears in Holinshed's Chron-
icle, 1880, as ''grosser," and in other
medieval records it is sometimes
written "engrosser," and was applied
to the spicers and pepperers who were
wholesale dealers in various spices
that is, who dealt en- gros-in large
quantities, as distinguished from ''re
Orators" who were retail dealers. The
Grocers' company first adopted the
word grocer in 1873, when the spicers
and pepperers allied themselves into
single orporation.-London Express.

The Outlook For History

History must be human, making it's
final appeal not as monument of cru
dition, but as a masterpiece Of art, in
which the collective deeds and, pas
sions Of men shall be not merely pic
tured with Photographic accuracy, but
vitalized and interpreted. Let US not
suppose that this is a new aim The
great historians have always held it.
The idea that Thucydides and Tacitus
neglected to consult all the material
available in their time is ludicrous.
Gibbon knew his sources as pro-
foundry as the impeccably correct Car
diner. Mommsen, we may be sure, had
not, like Stubs, a body Of evidence
which he dared not explore. The mas
ter historians in the future, by what
ever method they may work, will prove
themselves to be akin to these in in
sight, in power and in art.-W. r.

WHERE LUCK WAS LOST.

In trying to take short cuts to sue

In looking on the dark side of every
thing.
In overconfidence born Of first>easy

In not working to plan or pro-

In not being ready for the opportuni-

In sampling every kind Of invest

In dreaming Of great things instead
Of doing the little ones at hand.
In being so disagreeable and selfish

rich uncle to die.
In refusing to take the positions they
could get because they did not know
whether they would like the work or
not.-Success. .-a..- ...

1T Brings the Highest Price of Any
Oriental Fruit.
1t was at the height of the DURAN
season, when all animal kind in Malay,
two legged and four legged, is animal
ed by an Unsuitable lust for the fruit it
self and quick to fill with savage anger
against whatever stands in the way Of
satisfying it's appetite, for not the least
remarkable quality of this remarkable
fruit is the amatory effect it has upon
those who consume it, says Caspar
Whitney in Outing All DURAN eating
Malays, man and beast, are afame with
erotic fire. The jungle resounds with
the fighting Of lovelorn brutes and the
towns awaken to courtship.
The DURAN is about the size Of
pineapple, with a similarly rough out
side covering armed with half inch
spikes which are tough and sharp It
grows on trees fully sixty feet in
height whose trunks are bare Of limbs
except at the very top, and when the
fruit ripens it drops to the ground. So
as the season approaches natives erect
small huts under the tree or near by,
from which they watch for the falling
fruit
Those who are fortunate enough to
have such trees growing on their own
land practically live on the income de-
rived from the sale Of the DURAN, for
in the peninsular market 1t brings the
highest price of any eastern fruit. In
the jungle edge, where these trees have
no ownership, the race to build the first
hut and thus establish proprietary in
terest in the falling fruit is equal in in
tensity to land rush, and in the jun
gle the natives must compete also with
the wild beasts that share mans fond
ness for this extraordinary fruit
Once in the jungle as 1 sat smoking,
puzzling out some lost seladang tracks.
falling DURAN attracted my atten-
ton. The nearby trees seemed alive
with monkeys racing to first reach the
ground. One monkey that had been
left at the post, so to say, deliberately
Owed from the top Of the tree where he
sat, fully forty feet, into the top of
smaller tree below, whence he swung
to the ground. But, though he beat out
the others, the DURAN had disappeared.
A small leopard-like creature had
sneaked off the fruit, and 1 was too alb
sorbed in watching the aerial flight Of
the monkey to get more than glimpse
of the thief. The troop Of monkeys
that instantly forgathered discussed
the situation loudly and in very OBJ
vious anger.

THE SACRED 80 TREE.
One Il the Most Wonderful Natural
GrOwths Ever Known.


GrOwths Ever Known.
In October, 1887, the sacred DO tree.
at that time supposed to be the oldest
living vegetable monument on the
earths surface, was uprooted and de-
stroyed by a cyclone which swept over
the island Of Ceylon. The oldest writ
ten description of the sacred DO tree
now in existence is that by the cele-
brated Chinese historian, Fa Han,
who visited the island and the sacred
tree in the year 414 A. d. According
to this learned Chinaman, the tree was
at that time TOP years old, having
been planted in the year 2SS before
our era by King Devinipiatissa.
AS soon as it was known through
out the island that the tree had been
DESTROYED by the fury of the elements
great crowds Of mourners gathered
around its sacred remains and held
regular funeral services for two or
three weeks. After The season of
mourning was over the tree was cut
into proper lengths, each piece
wrapped separately in white cloth and
cremated with the same funeral rites
which would have been given a mem
Der Of the royal family.
So persisted the sacred DO tree, one
Of the most wonderful natural growths
known to the world-a tree which had
been worshiped daily, one might al
most say hourly, for 2,175 years.

General Dabney H. Maury tells Of an

to make both ends meet. On one occa-

so empty that the good lady took to her
bed and summoned her servant. Nan

ed as route statisticians and three
routes in different parts of the state
were established. On each route was
fifteen farmers, who agreed to Coop
perate in the work and each day gave
a record of each item of labor, etc,
performed by each man and horse.
The statisticians found that data could
be obtained as to the cost of produc-
ton per acre and as the cost OF crops
used in feeding, cost of labor in doing
chores and amount of dairy, garden
and poultry products used in the home.
Farmers as a rule do not care for
bookkeeping and the simplest meth
DDS possible are being tried. The one
in use at the present time is a vertical
filing system, using cards by y
inches. This is very simple and gives
good results.

interest in the work and assist In

penses are recorded and the house

reau has been opened on the North
field route. The farmers expect to
get the best speakers in the northwest
to talk to them this winter.

a JUDGES CRITICISM.

Judge Richard, of Webster City, in
q formal address before the Grant Club
ut Des Moines Thursday evening, pre-
sented the judicial view of the rate
question. The Judge pointed out the
Inconsistencies of several measures all
ready proposed before congress and
made deserved ridicule of all plans that
would tend to give special court au-
thority to pass upon the reasonableness
pf any rate. The commissions find
ing upon the reasonableness of rate
must be final, thought the Judge, or
else every rate controversy will go
thru the circumlocution office of court
litigation and the commissions find
Ing will never be in force until after
years of delay. The court should
pass only on the constitutional ques-
tons, or the questions Of law, conten-
ded Judge Richard and there should be
a special court established for this pur-
pose.
These points were we'll taken by
Judge Richard. What is needed to
make the interstate commerce COM
mission effective is to give it authority
to put rate. into force Immediately.
If Hepburn succeeds in substituting a
measure that provides a special court
to review the work of the commission
and leaves the supreme court to review
the work of the special court the rail-
roads will have secured just the adj
vantage they have now in that they
can postpone indefinitely their obedt-
ence to or compliance with every find
ing Of the commission.
Is is true that there might be some
danger of a commission establishing
rates so low as to be a hardship upon
the common carrier, but this has not
been the experience Of state railroad
commissions clothed with power to
make rates and put them into force
Immediately. Judge Richard has
pointed out serious danger and de-
feet in many of the special bills pro-
posed.

PAYNE THE IRREPREssIBLE.

It might as well be admitted that
Editor Payne of the Nevada Reprcsen
tative is irrepressible. When he be-
gan his attack upon the validity Of the
biennial elections amendment with his
full page briefs the rest of the state
laughed, some of his brother editors
guyed him and others censured him
for going SO far out Of his way to stir
up trouble, but when Payne gets an
idea in his head it fairly consumes
him. He has now succeeded In get
ting the trustees of Richland township
to bring the amendment into court.
They have passed the customary reso-
luton for township election next No
vember and one Of their number, whose
term has been extended one year by
reason of the biennial election amend
ment, has sued to enjoin the county
clerk from carrying out the instruc-
lions of Richland township trustees.
It is not at all probable that any
tempt to defeat the amendment, but it's
q mighty poor excuse, nowadays, that
Is not big enough to cause law suit.
Senator Titus, who fathered the bien-
NAL election law, has announced his
decision that the amendment has been
legally passed. 1t is understood that
the lawyers around the state house, in
GLIDING Governor Cummins, have sat
isfied themselves that there is no legal
deficiency about the law and most of
them have expressed the opinion that
the question would never even get in
to court. In this, however, they have
failed to reckon with Editor Payne.
To man UP a tree it would seem
that constitutional measure twice
passed upon favorably by two legis-
latures and twice carried by major
ity vote of the people, would thereby
become part of the law of the land. 1t
undoubtedly will but Mr.. Payne must
first be satisfied.
