SHAW PLANS FOR
 BURNING GARBAGE
DEMONSTRATION OF NEW PRO- CESS WILL BE MADE AT NORTH BIRMINGHAM PUMPING STATION TOMORROW MORNING.

A demonstration of the invention or Andrew Engle of Des Moines for the sanitary disposal of garbage and other refuse matter will be made at the water works plant at North Birmingham to- morrow morning at 11:s0 o'clock.
 MT. Engle and James Maine, president and vice president of the Engle Crema- tory company, which manufactures the new garbage consumer, arrived in Bir- mingham yesterday from Des Moines to make arrangements for the demonstra- ton to be held tomorrow. They come direct from Iowa to conduct the demon stration here, which will be the first ex- hibition of the qualities of the. consumer made outside of Des Moines the home town of the invention.
 A quantity of garbage and other refuse will be collected at the pump-house at North Birmingham tomorrow morning. and the consumer will be mixed with It. The mixture will be thrown under bat tery of boilers and burned, showing the method of sanitary disposition and at the same time exhibiting the usefulness of the consumer as a fuel
 It is claimed that the consumer will completely do away with wet garbage absolutely without any offensive odor, and at the same time furnish fuel of equal heating capacity of the best soft coal mined in the Birmingham district.

Bands of Mountain Sheep.

Denyer.-Trainmen on the Denver
& Rio Grande report the recent ap-
pearance of two bands of mountain
sheep on the cliffs just beyond the
Royal gorge, near Spike Buck. The
animals are roaming about on the
rocks hundreds of feet above the
tracks, their outlines sometimes sill
houetted against the sky, but more Of
ten barely discernible against the ir-
regular background of the cliffs. They
pay no attention to the trains and as
the s1aw forbids anyone to shoot at
them, they have not become frightened
at the appearance of human being in
the distance.
One band contains eight sheep, as
near as they could be counted from
the moving trains, and the other con-
tains about fifteen. The train crews
have come to watch for the agile ami
mails in and about the Royal gorge,
and there is seldom a day when they
are disappointed. The precarious pas
ture they have found is apparently al
most inaccessible for other animals
and the feeding is proportionately
good in consequence. If the elusive
sheep do not move on to some other
stamping grounds, they will doubtless
become another of the sights which
are pointed out along the Rio Grande
lines

Profitable Lamb Feeding.

Laramie, Wyo-J. d. Towar, direc-
tor of the experiment station of the
University of Wyoming, has just re-
ceived complete returns from a sale
of eight lambs fattened on the expert
ment station farm here. The eight
lambs averaged 129 pounds, bringing
the station sS.57 net each. One of the
lambs weighed 146 pounds and another
was poor and small, the latter holding
the average down as much as the
larger lamb brought it up. The lambs
were dropped last March, the sires
being the imported bucks belonging to
the experiment station, and the dams
are grade ewes. bred on the Laramie
plain. The eight were taken into the
sheep pens at the station about the
middle of December and were then
fed a pound of grain each per day.
Prof. Towar says the experiment was
one that could have been conducted
by any ranchman or fiockmaster in
the state.

Rushing Montezums Canal.

Denver.-A Cortez, Colorado, dis
patch says: Work on the Montezuma
valley irrigating system is being
pushed rapidly ana a full supply of
water is assured for this season. New
camps of the contractors are being es-
tablished over the valley and men are
being added daily. The weather, which
has not been favorable for this work,
is now breaking. The frost has al
most left the ground so that more pro-
gress may be made. This is one of the
largest irrigating schemes in the West
and means much for Colorado, as it
waters one of the largest bodies of
fruit and agricultural land in the state,
there being C0.000 acres under Its
canals.

Washington.-Senator Burnham of
New Hampshire Monday introduced in
Congress 9 measure of distinct impor-
tance to rural interests throughout the
United States. 1t is a bill to provide
a rural delivery parcels post for mer-
chandise and other articles actually
mailed on rural delivery routes. The
rural free delivery routes now number

cess of 100000 people receive daily

The measure introduced by Senator
Burnham has the endorsement of the
L resident and Postmaster General

tablishment of a rural parcels post at
special rates of postage for the delivery
of foodstuffs, dry goods, drugs, books
and other merchandise. The rate Of
postage shall be cents for the first
pound and cents for each additional
pound or fraction thereof, and on par
GELS weighing less than one pound, as
follows
Two ounces or less, cent; over two
ounces and under four ounces, cents;
over four and not exceeding eight
ounces, 3 cents; over eight and not ex-
ceeding twelve ounces, 4 cents; and
ONtI lNGlNe OunCeS ohO
pound, ) cents.
Two important limitations are placed
on the use of the proposed parcel post
by the following provisions:
"That nothing herein contained shall
be taken as authorizing the acceptance
or delivery at the special rates of post
age herein provided of any parcel Of
fered by any person acting as agent or
representative upon commission or
otherwise, or person not resident OF
such rural delivery route.
THAT only such parcels shall be re-
ceived 4or delivery at the special rates
of postage herein provided as are Of
fered by bona fide merchants or deal
ers whose places of business are on
rural delivery routes, covered by this
act, in the ordinary and regular course
of their business and by residents on
such routes in their individual capa-
city. The bill provides that the parcels
carried shall not weigh more than
eleven pounds or be more than three
feet six inches in length. Perishable
articles will be sent at the sender's
risk and will not be accepted at any
postcflice more than three hours before
departure of the mail"
Senator Kean of New Jersey Mon
day introduced a measure presenting
Postmaster General Meyers plan for
reducing the rate on parcels sent
through the mails from 16 to u cents
a pound and increasing the weight
limit from four to eleven pounds.

Twenty Thousand Acres of Reets.

Denver.-A Greeley dispatch says:
Already arrangements have been made
by the farmers and the sugar company
for raising 10000 acres of beets in
this district this year. Heretofore It
has been necessary to ship in labor dur.
ing the beet season, but this will not be
the case this year, and the 1900 Rus.
slams, Japanese and MeXicans required
to handle the beets are permanent resi-.
dents. The sugar company predicts
that in five years the beet crop of the
district will be grown by Russians and
Japanese to whom the farmers will
rent their lands.

Colorado is taking an interest in pro-

Press to place on the retired list of the
regular army surviving volunteer Off
GERS of the Civil War. Mr. Walsh held
conferences with Senator Warren and
Representative Hull, chairman of the
senate and house military committees,
respectively, and urged that hearing
be given and favorable report made
upon the bills for this purpose now be-
fore their committees. Both Warren
and Hull favor the proposed legisla-
ton, but doubt that it can be enacted
at this session.

Bargain Sales In Japan.

Cigars foot and half long, which
are, made for one days smoking, are
shown in the American Museum of

Far up the Rio Nigra, tributary Of

Color Gossip.

Have human beings. like animals, q
tendency to clothe themselves in colors
that reproduce the prevailing tone OF
their surroundings? There is another
question for scientists who have dis.
covered that different colors produce
differing effects on the health and dis
position Of individuals. At all events
color conventions in different parts OF
the world are decidedly at variance
For example, while we use black in
mourning the Chinese wear white
gowns, white caps. white shoes and
white ties on their cues. The royal
color in Europe is purple-a hue Of red,
not of violet, as often misrepresented
In China the imperial color is yellow,
and a certain shade Of yellow may not
be worn by the common people, but is
conferred upon high officials as great
distinction.
Some individual color preferences are
historical. Cleopatra loved yellow.

Blindness of Conceit.

"Ever notice the density of a con-

ITO me that's the most striking thing
about such an individual. Maybe he
has some qualities that justify his
good opinion Of himself, and maybe
not. He's dense just the same, and
the proof of it is that he doesn't realize
how he impresses his associates un-
pleasantly. If the average conceited
man had the least idea of the handi-
cap under which he is laboring he'd
shed it mighty quick. But he hasn't.
and it's impossible to drill it into him.
