The gavel which was used by the
Washington Masons at the Gel emony
OF laying the corner stone of the
Office building for the house of rep
resentatives, when the president
delivered his muck rake speech, is a
historic implement. 1t was used by
George Washington at the laying of
the corner stone or the capitol in
1893, and has been handled by five
other presidents since that time,
James X. Polk, Willard Fillmore,
James Buchanan, William Mckinley
ard Theodore Roosevelt. The gavel
is considerably larger than those
made for presiding officers nova
days. 1t is fully a foot in length
with very large head made of
marble taken from the original
capitol, with one end covered with a
gold plate. The gayel is the prop
erty of Potomac lodge of Masons, of
which George Washington was grand
master.

The African Ostrich.

The African ostrich. from which the
best white feathers are obtained,
stands six or seven feet high and
weighs from so to 100 pounds. Its egg
Is equal to about two dozen hens eggs.
Its feathers sell In Africa for about
$500 q pound at wholesale. While
walking quietly it's step is about twen-
ty-six inches, but when frightened the
stride increases to about twelve feet,
and at this gait it can run something
like twenty-five miles an hour. When
pursued it sometimes turns and deals
the pursuer a blow with the foot that
makes him think Of the kick of mule.
The African ostrich is the largest bird
now existing on earth The American
ostrich Is only about half the size of
the African and has three toes, while
the African bird has only two. The
plumage Of the American ostrich Is
gray.

The Tailor Bird.

The brilliantly PLUNGED birds Of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and If they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful instincts they
would fall ready victims to their enc
mics. Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their offspring are preyed upon by foes
on every side. But 1t takes a sly mon
key or snake to get ahead of the tailor
bird, small East Indian singing bird.
She hides her nest so skillfully that her
enemies cannot find 1t, no matter how
hard they try. This she does by using
her long, slender bill as needle. With
the tough fiber Of parasitic plant
abundant in the tropics, as a thread
she sews a dead leaf taken from the
end of slender and hanging branch.
and between these leaves she builds
her nests, where neither monkey nor
snake can approach, because the
branch will not bear its weight.

Labor In Old Times.

Twelve hours in winter and fourteen
In summer was a fair average days
work, but in Lyons in 1871 the print
ers worked from o'clock in the morn
Ing till or in the evening In other
trades the working hours were often
from A in the morning till 8 at night
or from to 10. Workers in the same
meter generally lived together In the
same street. but the maitre artisan
had his own maison. The ground floor
was his shop or workshop; above was
his bedroom, which was also the sit
ting and eating room; small room ad-
Joining accommodated his children, and
above was garnet where various
commodities were stored. = Brisson's

Capsicum.

The capsicum plant. from which the
different varieties Of pepper are pro-
duced, is indigenous to the tropical re-
gions Of Europe, Asia, Africa and
America. 1t grows wild almost as
well as under cultivation In an these
countries. and In each Is used by the
natives as seasoning for food. Its
extensive employment has suggested to
medical theorists the thought that 1t
must be considered rs natural tonic
for the stomach In tropical countries.

Human nature Is beginning to revolt

CURRENT EVENTS.
Clipped from the Exchanges Which
Come to Our Table.
Elijah III.

"And now" says Bailey, OF Rritt,
poor old Dowie has gone up the
spout, Elijah first went up in a
chariot of fire, number two seems to
have gone up in chariot of wind.
At any rate he has gone up the
financial spout. He is down and
out Britt people should feel a
deep interest in this, for it was here
that Mr.. Elijah saw the angel that
told him to 60 to Chicago and start
his heaven. That angel has never
been actually located yet, but there
is little doubt but he saw an
angel as he says be did, and what
object could he have in lying?
Angels are very expensive in this
world and the Chicago brand must
be more expensive than any others,
as Mr.. Elijah has run his heaven
short about 100000. Just whether
he took the particular angel that he
saw here with him or not we do not
know, however, none have been
missed; be that as il may the angel
that guided him did a good job for
him financially for long spell and
just why she doesn't stand by him
now we don't know. We hope he
will come back here and dream
some more when he gets well
enough, and If he is going to start
any more heavens, start them here
where he can get a new vision at
any time. A man who will leave
Britt and go to Chicago to start a
heaven ought to go up the spout.
Besides all this there is prolific
contiguous country for Dowie to
work; all he asks is Cor someone to
furnish the money and let him fur
nish the brains. Garner has always
Dragged how easy it was to raise
money for court houses, railroads,
etc, and Forest City can raise half
million any old day to build hotels
with; Algona has stock food graft
that will raise thousand a minute
and some blue sky proposition that
makes anything in the graft line
look sick; we have elevators all
around us that even the stockholders
don't know whether the stock is
worth ten cents on the dollar or sells
at premium, and the banks the
same; We have farmers who deal
with department stores when they
could trade cheaper at home, they
buy apple trees Of smooth tongued
Council Bluffs CRATER aud read
Montgomery Wards catalogue
instead of buying and reading their
home paper. Dowie was con-
lfouLGed fool to go to Chicago to
start a heaven for graft; why. in
thunder didn't he stay in Iowa ?
Let's get Dowie back. When the
Pauls went to Des Moines and got
skinned out by the hungry insurance
gang Of that city, they did not sit
down and whine, they started the
Homesteaders and are doing better
business than ever, and Dowie could
come back here and in thirty days
have "fiddlers green" that would
double discount his old Chicago
Heaven"
