Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.

The fact Is that the sparrow hawk
almost invariably catches flying bird
for its meal, even striking down birds
as large as the wood pigeon, though us,
rally going no higher than black
bird. If it does not exactly swoop like
the larger hawks, yet 1t must have
conditions of chase of Its own choos-
ing.
That is why the small birds usually
mob it with impunity when they are
numerous enough to bewilder 1t. Once
however, I saw a sparrow hawk that
had been molested for some minutes
bN a perfect cloud Of green fnches dart
among them and secure victim. The
other day l had one of these birds
pointed out as the one which a few
days earlier had come close to the
house toward dusk and caught bat
on the wing, That, however, is a very
unusual meal.-London News.

Il BOULE YARD.

Now that the South Texas Gar
den is getting ready to turn on the
water at its pumping station and
make the grounds at Fort Brown a
fue ub-tropical garden, it would
be well if the city of Brownsville
could pay a little attention to the
valuable attraction the United
States government has given the
civ bv establishing the garden
here. Lots of cities would have
gladly paid out $4,000 to get the
Garden established on their lands.
Thousands of men and women will
1e attracted to the garden and 1t
xzlI be a source of profit to the city
both from a monetary and artistic
standpoint. The city of Browns
vile should undertake to construct
Il boulevard 200 feet wide around
zde garden from the river at the
foot of Fifteenth street to the river
sank on tie south end of the
garden. There Is not the slight
est doubt that the government
qgouId gladly furnish the trees, and
eshrubbery to ornament the boule-
Yard and the water to irrigate
chem 1t would convert section
of the city that is not very attrac-
tive into one of the most unique
ee5riueways in the world. The own
,srs of AUDITING lands should with
cut hesitation donate the land for
she construction of the road as if
would mean thousands of dollars

Five Feet of Snake.

Montgomery Chronicle: Dick"
Nailor killed a rattlesnake near
his home last Saturday that had
eight rattles and a button. He
says the body of the reptile was
at least four inches through and
that it was nearly FIVE feet long.
If Dick" Nailor had captured
that snake alive and sent it to the
snake pens at Brownsville, or to
the snake oil factory in San An
tonic, he would have received pro-
baby as much as much as S. for
it. The Mexican snake catchers
along the Lower Rio Grande would
have been elated over the capture
of such large RATHER. Galveston

A Great Roast!

Over ton of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee is roasted at time, In large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in suffi-
Gent demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepara-'
ton.
The sales of Arbuckles' AriOsa
Coffee exceed the sales of all other
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very magni-
tude, reduces our cost to minimum,
and enables us, with our other advan-
tages,to givebetter valuein Arbuchles'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else.
Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in
the world, and the best of all

ELEvATING ROAD GRADER.

east and west. A person wishing to
cross the country i'll any other than
these directions must necessarily do SO
in rectangular zigzags. 1t also neces-
states very often the crossing and re-
crossing of hills and valleys which
might be avoided if the roads had been
constructed on scientific principles.
In the prairie state of Iowa, for ex-
ample. where roads are no worse than
in many other states, there is Il great
er number of roads having much steep
er grades than are found in the noun
famous republic of Switzerland. In
Maryland the old stagecoach road or
turnpike running from Washington to
Baltimore makes almost '.bee line"
regardless of hills or valleys, and the
GRADES at places are as steep as 10 or
II per cent where by making little de-
tours the read might have been made
perfectly level or by running it up the
hills least abruptly the grade might
have been reduced to or per cent,
as is done in the billy regions of many
parts Of this and other countries.
Straight roads are the proper kind to
have, but in billy countries their
straightness should always be sacri-
feed to obtain level surface. so as to
better accommodate the people who
use them.
Graceful and natural curves conform
ing to the lay of the land add beauty
to the landscape, besides enhancing the
value OF the property. Not only do lev
el curved roads add beauty to the land
scape and make lands along them
more valuable, but the horse is able
to utilize his full strength over them
Furthermore, horse can pull only
fOur-fifths as much on a grade of two
feet in 100 feet. This gradually lessons
until with grade of ten feet in 100
feet he can draw but one-fourth as
much as he can on level road.
All roads should therefore wind
around hills or be cut through instead
of running over them, and in many
cases the former can be done without
greatly increasing the distance To
illustrate, il an apple or pear be cut
in half and one of the halves placed on
a fiat surface, it will be seen that the
horizontal distance around from stem
to blossom is no greater than the dis
tance over between the same points.

Kissing the Feet.

The custom of kissing the feet of
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo-
pie of oriental nations used to kiss the
hands and feet or hens of the clothes
of the persons they wished to show
respect for. The ancient Egyptians got
this custom from the Assyrians, and
later the Greeks adopted the habit
from the Egyptians. The Romans fol
lowed the Greeks, and then Pontifex
Maximus had his great toe kissed by
celebrities. The toe Of the sultan Of
Turkey is kissed by subjects of high
rank. Those Of more lowly position
are merely allowed to touch the fringe
Of his garment to their lips, and the
poorest classes must be content to
make low obeisance in his presence.

SOME NEW YORK "FIRsTs. !"

The first street used for building pur-

The first manor house was erected
by Killian Van Rensselaer, in 1850.
The first man sentenced to be hanged
for murder was negro known as "the

The first record of marine signaling
was a small redoubt erected in 1911
upon the eastern headland Of the is
land, where flag was raised when
ever vessel arrived.
The first building on the site of New
York city was erected by the Dutch in
the spring of 1915. 1t was tiny struc-
ture Of logs, answering the double pur-
pose Of storehouse and fort.
The first ferry to Long Island was
established in 1857. 1t was in the vi
cinity of Peck slip. CoInelis Dircksen,
who had farm near by, came to fer
ry passengers at the sound Of horn
which he hung against tree near his
skiff.-New York Herald.

GOOD ROAD PROBLEM
Importance of Laying Out a High

but In HilIy Countries Their Straight

ness Should Be Sacrificed to Obtain
Level Surface.
All the important roads in the United
States can be and doubtless will bs
macadamized or otherwise improved i'll
the not distant future. This expecta-
ton should govern their present loca-
ton and treatment everywhere. Tn
less changes are made in the location
Of the roads in many parts of the Unit
ed States it would be worse than folly
to macadamize them. "Any costly re-
surfacing of the existing roads will
fasten them where they are for genera
tions," says General Stone. The chief
difficulty in the United States is not
with the surface, but with the steep
grades, many of which are too long
to be reduced by cutting and filing on
the present lines, and ii this could be
done it would cost more in many cases
than relocating them, says Motor News.
Many of our roads were originally
laid out without any attention to gen
eral topography, and in most cases fol-
lowed the settlers path from cabin to
cabin. the pig trail, or ran along the
boundary lines of the farms regardless
of grades or direction. Most Of them
remain today where they We're located
years ago, and where untold labor, ex-
pense and energy have been wasted in
trying to haul over them and in en-
deavors to improve their condition.
The great error is made of continu-
ing to follow these primitive paths
with our public highways. The right.
course is to call in an engineer and
throw the road around the end or
along the side of steep hills instead of
continually going over them or to pull
the road up on dry, solid ground in
stead of srlashing through the mud
and water Of the creek or swamp. Far
more time and money have been vast
ed in trying to keep up a single mile
Of one Of these pig track surveys
than it would take to build and keep in
repair two miles of good road.
Another and perhaps greater error is
made by some persons in the west who
continue to lay out their roads On ''sec-
ton lines" These sections are al
square. with sides running north. south.
