turning, bore his little victim to the ground and quickly killed him.
 Mink and weaseIs too are active en- emtes Of birds in winter. and though they get only those which they are able to seize on the ground, they prob ably destroy a good many. They are tireless creatures, covering a consider able area of country in day, and find ing here an exhausted pheasant, there a starving quail and elsewhere a grouse imprisoned beneath the crusted snow. These 1.-the, long-bodied animals are probably much more destructive to bird life during the nesting season, when sharp eyes and noses may detect the presence of countless fiedgling field sparrows, towhees, bobolinks and Oth- CTS, whose homes are on the ground. Nevertheless when we follow their foot prints in the snow and find blood and punches of feathers on the trails, we know that they are busy in winter as well.
 Foxes, am inclined to think, do lit- tie harm in winter To be sure they get an occasional grouse or quail, sometimes under the snow, sometimes above it. Now and then perhaps fox will dash out into shallow water and get wild duck, but after all, the mum. Der of birds destroyed by foxes, in win ter at least, is comparatively small.
 One os the worst bird enemies of all, at this season. is the domestic cat. She trips cautiously and silently through the snow, crouches low near any flock of birds which may be feed ing on the ground, and springs upon tho first unfortunate which happens to hop too near. She will do this several times in day, and every day in the week If she gets the chance. An active cat can easily kill hundred birds in a winter and many cats kill more than this number.
 If we are friends of the birds, this is a good time to prove it. We can not regulate the temperature but we l can feed the birds; we cannot prevent the sonwstorms, but we can help to { reduce the number of cats.

THE EuRo pEAN SITUATION.

In his recent talk with a representa- tive of the Paris Figaro the we'll known English statesmans Sir Charles Dilke. said that British foreign policy at present reposes on England's friend ship with the United States and France. England's relations with Germany, he says, are less cordial, but offer no ele- ment of immediate danger. The ef- forts to bring about an understanding with Russia have been delayed by ex- isting circumstances. He hopes that any agreement between England and

The Secretary of the Navy has under consideration the question of continu- ing the premature graduation of the classes of the Naval Academy. It has already been decided to graduate the class of ,06 in February, and to send the midshiomen, to sea for their suc- eeeding two years service afloat The department will determine whether the same plan shall be followed for the class of 'O7, it being desirable to know far in advance of the intention in that respect, in order to arrange the studies of the students at Annapolis. Rear Admiral Sands, the superintendent of the academy, is not in favor of short- ening the term at the institution. He agrees with his predecessors in this matter, and insists that it is of great
 advantageto keep the young men at the

It is now said that the judges sit- ting in the criminal courts in Cook county, Illinois, have no authority to issue naturalization papers, though they have bsen doing this for the last thirty-fiye years. The Chicago Tribune says that if the present contention is sound the papers Issued to about 25,- 600 men are of no value. Judge Carter gives the opinion that the only way these men can be given the rights they suppose they possess is by an act of Congress validating the act committed under a misapprehension of the law. Naturalization proceeds with tremend- ous rapidity in the great cities just be- fore an important election. In 1904 one Chicago judge naturalized 344 men in one day.

Scientists are again on the trail of 'tlle missing link.'' Two years ago certain marks were found on a block of sandstone near Warrnambool, in Australia, which were thought to be the irnprints of the footsteps of pre- historic man. At the tirnethis idea was ridiculed: but a plaster cast was sent to Germany, and the inevitable German savant went out to investigate the mat ter He now reports that, in his opin- ion. they were genuine human irn- prints, and this, taken in conjunction with the extraordinary human skulls to ibe seen in the Warrnambool museum, is supposed to show that link be- tween humanity and the ape has been discovered.

He had a tablen of beaten sil- yer crusted with the most precious saphhires and his state dress was so heavy with gorgeous jewels that it took two men to lift it over his head. He carried with him on his travels great white parrot with rose colored lining on his wings, The parrots beak was per forated and each side was set with precious saphhires.

Tn the little town of Munsiedel, in Bavaria, there exists one of the most curious charitable foundations in the world. One of it's burghers. Christo- pher Warmer, died in i451, and left his fortune for the establishment of a home for the aged poor. He attached, how ever, that every old man who was talk en in should wear his beard, and the same cut of clothes and cap that he himself used to wear. Consequently, after the lapse of 45O years, the ancient pensioners are still to be seen wander ing about the streets of Munsiedel in the costumes of the fifteenth century.

nThe Wizard of o."

'The Wizard of Oz'' is not conspicuous flor its saneness, and more real humor has been injected into musical pieces be- fore, but musically and scenically it Is a pleasing affair, as musical comedies go The production at the Jefferson last night was of course not as strong nor as beau- tiful as the original Wizard of Oz," but the eo.npany was large the costumes and scenery adequate and there was a sur prisng amount of puleritude in evidence among principals and chorus. This feature was in itself enough to cause satisfac- ton, but after the first rather tiresome act was finished the company warmed up and proceeded to give an entertaining per- formance.
 The humor in ''The Wizard of Oz" Is at most times rather too broad and at other times too forced for thorough enjoyment, but Bert Swor as the scarecrow finally convinced the audience that he was funny although he was given lame support by John Swor as the tin woodman. The two executed some clever dancing, and with the assistance of the lion and the COW eontrived to keep everybody in a good humor. The old song hits were heard again with appreciation, and while they have been better sung in the past they were listened to with the proper appreeia- tion several eleitlng ereo:es.

 corn, thousands of pounds of hay and fodder, a number of new vehicles and much other stuff. A blacksmith shop ad- joining was also gutted The wind was from the north and blowing a stiff gale which aided in saving the other building adjoining The Courier buildings, the un- dertaking establishment of II. S. Hollon and the law office of Hon. Erie Pettus
 were in imminent danger for a time. The
 residence of Capt. J. M. Russel was or fire several times, but no damage to it
 of account was done. The handsome Cum berland Presbyterian church just south of the burning buildings seemed in i'm
 1ninent danger at one time.
 The heroic work of the volunteer fire company who stood sheeted in ice, while they fought the flames with two heavy streams of water, were the heroes of the hour. One young stranger, MT. Kelley or Illinois, who is the guest of his cousin, MT J. M. Colvin. in this place, proved himself a valued leader and threw him. self into the ffercest of the fight and stood the fierce and fearful cold until the last man laid down his line.
