Snake DevOured Turkeys.

Mrs. George +. kinnamon, residing
on Pleasant Valley farm, had magnifi-
cent flock of turkeys, numbering 70,
carried by two turkey hens. The little
fellows were 3weeks old and were grow
ing rapidly. Mrs. Kinnamon noticed
that her flock was diminishing gradually
in size, and upon making count found
that the number had been reduced to 30.
The family was informed of the situa-
ton, but no cause could be assigned for
the mysterious disappearance. Mrs.
Kinnamon went to the coop, and was
surprised to see therein a tremendous
black snake, and the problem was solved.
The snake had eaten the turkeys whole
and he was swelled to such proportions
that it was impossible for him to get
out through the hole by which he had
entered. Mrs. Kinnamon notified her
son, who promptly killed the reptile
prisoner. -Edston (Md.) Star Democrat.

COLLEGES LACK .
MILITARY SPIRIT
Inspection by Army Officers Fails
for Want Of Standard of
= Efficiency. -
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 1.-THE war de-
partment is beginning to receive the
reports of army officers detailed to
make inspections Of those colleges
where army officers are acting as in
structors in the military department.
These reports show there is lack Of
uniformity in the method of observa-
ton and an absence of any standard
by which to judge the degree Of eff
cheney.
It is possible that next year the in
spectlon system may be so changed as
to have one officer inspect all the col
leges Of the class from which the de-
partment will make it's selection of the
six ''leading' colleges. The designa-
ton OF any college as one of the
''leading' institutions for military
training carries with it the privilege
OF having the honor graduate each year
nominated by the presidents for exami-
nation TOR commission as second lieu
tenant in the regular army.
These reports show little, if any, i'm
provement in the condition of the col.
leges during the past year, and in some
| cases there has been decided falling
off in the interest of the college au.
thorities in the military department. In
| at least one case the Recommendation
was made that the military instructor
be Withdrawn, on the ground that the
college had not the required number
of pupils in the military department
and practically no support was given
the officer detailed as Instructor.
| The colleges in the northwestern
states--Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa
and Wisconsin-will be inspected the
latter part of this month
