Here is part Of an actual speech de-
livered in an East Indian court of law
by pleader: "What they say is very,
If not most, rldiculously absurd to be-
lieve. Indeed, tits incredulous. They
say that the blood flew, and they did
nothing to put the wounded into ease.
This. sir, is lie, an unmitigated lie,
or, rather, falsehood or fable or story
or, as Byron sarcastically observes, q
terminal exactitude. These buffaloes
never used to Craze on the field, which
is not actually even proper grazing
meadow. The destination which they
started was half mile from tho
cynosure to which they went. Unless
they did not ride on lightning horses,
how could they reach to that premises
In five minutes? Can any man-idiot
even-will not believe such stupid

In the reading Of the British riot

customary to recite the whole Of the
statute, which is rather long one,
but only the following proclamation.
which it contains: "Our sovereign lord

Mexieo,s Famous Parrots.

In the state of Tamaulipas, in Mexi-
co, parrots of the much priced double
yellow head" variety, famous as con-
versationfsts, are found in countless
focks. Indeed the woods are literally
full of them and are vocal with their
harsh cry from sunrise to sunset. They
seem to have but one note 1t Is only
In confinement that they are initiative.
In this country they are worth $40
apiece. Parrots build their nests in
holes and hollows of trees, and in
parts of Mexico they are so numerous
that every available cavity is occupied
by them in the nesting season. Never
theless the work Of procuring their
young Is extremely arduous, even for
the expert natives. Trees in the trop-
les are commonly festooned with many
climbing vines Of thicknesses varying
from n thread to the size of ships
cable, and all this network of vegeta-
tion is usually infested by myriads Of
desperately fierce ants Of large size,
which both bite and sting. Many an
unfortunate peon, it is said, has lost
his life while engaged in this pursuit,
because, tortured beyond endurance by
the ferocious insects, he was unable to
retain his grip.-Argonaut.

DR.. Shambaugh's Find

One Of the greatest historical finds
in the history of the state of'4owa-
one promising to parallel in import
ance the famous Lucas find" Of
about two years ago-has just been
made in Kentucky by DIR. B. T.
Shambaugh, of the university OF
Iowa, superintendent of the Iowa
Historical society.
Prof. Shambaugh has just return
ed from the Blue Grass state, re-
joicing.
The "6nd" embraces an autobi.
ography Of Gov. John Chambers,
the second governor of the territory
70 1owa-best Of all, written in Mr..
Chambers own handwriting-and
providing the first satisfactory, and
and practically the only data for the
work on his life and the Iowa State
Historical society has desired for
years to publish.
There are; also included letters,
papers, documents, and portraits.
Very little has been known about
Gov. Chambers, officially, and the
archieves at Des Moines have but
a limited quantity of documents, etc.
A likeness of the former Iowan was
absolutely unobtainable.
The new find" also supplies the
longed-for pictures, as one oil port
rait of the governor, and two mini
ature on ivory-representing both
Mr.. and Mrs. Chambers-are among
the discoveries. These ivory mini
atures are worth hundreds of dol
lars, intrinsically, to say nothing of
of their sentimental value.
Gov. Chambers life is interest
ingly linked with Iowa politics OF
early days-when civil service re-
form" was not even an 'irridescent
dream" He lived in Iowa City,
from lS4l-lS45 when the old Capi-
tol was there. He was an appointee
Of President Harrison, Gov. Lucas
having been removed to make way
for him. Later, in lS45 he was re-
moved in turn by President Polk, to
make way for James Clark Demo
crat being deemed necessary to
succeed Wing.
One of the most notable acts OF
Gov. Chambers was the securing of
the treaty with the Sac and Fox In
dians, in lS42-a pact that opened
to settlement by the Whites millions
of acres, about three-fourths of the
state including vast tracts near Des
Moines.
Gov. Chambers also served three
terms in the U. S. congress. He
came here from Kentucky, where he
was a member of the legislature nu-
merous sessions.
After his gubernatorial career
here ended, he returned to Kentucky,
to live and die among his children n
and grandchildren, and in Kentucky
he breathed his last in 1852.
Since then Iowa has practically
lost all knowledge, of documentary
type of him, and hence the tremen-
dous value OF the Shambaugh find"

Eat Less, Live Longer.

The Romans said: Eat, drink and
be merry, for tomorrow you die. .
And their banquets quite equalled
those Of the American millionaire Of
this 10th century. They ate, and
the Roman empire died. But we OF
America choose to live, and to live
long and live we'll. And SO the
maxim Of today is, Eat less, and be
merry anyhow"
Why eat less? Simply because,
as q nation, we eat too much. Thir.
ty years ago 80 per cent of the diet
was meat. Today it has diminished
to one third.
"Never eat quite as much as you
think you want" is the continual
advice of learned physician to tile
young man who would gladly be a
Roman if he could.

The Ants of the Himalayas

In the Himalayas, on the side facing
India, the limit of perpetual snow is
about G,50O feet higher than in the
Alps. One result Of this is that yarl.
GUS forms of life are found In the
great Asian mountains at an elevation
which seems extraordinary. Among
these are many species of ants. Up to
nearly 10000 feet the ants are very
abundant. and even ut the elevation of
1900 feet four species have been
found, and 1t is believed that more
careful investigation would show that
they exist even at $1,000 feet or more.
"A unique fact not found in any other
great mountain range is that the Him.
alayas possess an immense variety of
local species of ants. Out of 115 forms
recognized in the Hlmalayas fifty are
peculiar to those mountains.-Yout

A standpat Protest.
(From the Cedar Rapids Republican,

The Hampton Chronicle says that
The Cedar Rapids Republican has
been shedding tears over the defeat
OF Porter for governor last year.
That is not true. This paper has
simply condemned the obloquy that
was cast upon Mr.. Porter. This is
the manner, as related by the Iowa
City Republican: "Cummins refer
red to Porter in his Davenport
speech as an excellent gentleman
(sic) prohibitionist, who, as coun-
ty attorney had enforced the laws in
Appanoose county, and as an elder
in the Presbyterian church" Af-
ter he had drawn that picture of
Porter, he confidently told the Dav-
enport audience '.and I am sorry I
cannot say these things of myself"
1t was from such utterances that the
people of Davenport understood
that the governor would be their
friend. When the governor spoke
in Grinnel, a few days after, or be-
fore, the Iowa City paper says he
omitted all reference to Porter being
a gentleman, a prohibitionist, a Pres
byterian and a law enforcer. OF
course, the governor did not tell the
Grinnell audience what he told the
Davenport audience. 1t was the
skill of the orator and the adroit.
ness of the logican that made the
difference. This paper has protest.
ed, mildly, against the methods used
to defame Porter, but these are the
only tears it has shed.
