Birds as Scouts.

Field Marshal Sir Edelyn Wood, in Lon
 don Saturday Gazette.
 During the night, July 2-3, before the battle of Sadowa, division commanded by the archduke. retreating before the Prussian army, had bivouaclSed near a town in Bohemia facing north.
 At midnight the archduke, when rest ing in peasants cottage, was awakened by the arrival of a gypsy, who insisted on seeing him personally. having come to report the advance of the enemy.
 The archduke, who spoke Romany fiu- ently asked: How do you do? Our outposts have not reported any move- ment."
 That, you hghness, is because the enemy is still some way off,"
 Then how do you know?"
 The gypsy, pointing to the dark sky lighted by the moon, observed: You see those birds flying over the woods from north to south?'
 "Yes; what of them?'
 Those birds do not fly by night unless disturbed, and the direction of their flight indicates that the enemy is coming this way"
 The archduke put his division under arms and reinforced the outposts, which in two hours time were heavily attacked.

WILLOWS GIVE
 PROFITABLE CROP Government Makes Important
 Experiment IN BASKET WILLOW One Hundred Thousand Cutting VIII Be Distributed Free to Farmers Who Desire to Engage in New
 Industry
rom the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 The government is right in the midst of the harvest of a most unique crop at Its experimental farm near Arling- ton, just across the Potomac from Wash ington, where a corps of laborers in charge of trained foresters Is preparing for the anual distribution of 100000 bas- ket willow cuttings
 Uncle Sam Is encouraging the growing of high grade willow rods in this coun- try, and in tho five years since the estab- lishment of the holts at Arlington ap- proximately a half million select cuttings have been distributed among farmers, with directions for planting and pre- pairing for market Particular attention is given to selecting the varieties and strains best suited to the soil where the plantings will be made.
 Willowcraft is an industry which is constantly growing in importance in this country, yet the culture of basket willow in the United States made very little progress until five or six years ago. Even now practically all of the best grades of basket willow are imported from Flu rope, chiefly from France. European manufacturers compete keenly for the best products in their countries, and until recently only the inferior rods were sent to America, where they have been bought at three times the prices quoted for similar stock a few years ago. Experiments have shown that the best grades of willow can be grown in this country at q good profit, and farmers are

CONTRAST IN CEREMONIES.
Japanese and Russians Commemorate
 the Battle at ChemuIpo.
On Sale


 The dismal city of Chemulpo, on the west coast of Corea, recently witnessed two strangely contrasting ceremonies, each conducted by aliens in the land and each commemorating the historical event which served to make the name of the town known around the world. The occasion of the demonstration was the anniversary on February of the battle between the Russian and Japanese naval detachments outside the harbor.
 Hundreds of Japanese came down from Seoul. the capital city, 60 miles away, to join with the large Japanese colony at Chemulpo in making the day typical holiday of their home land. All of the Japanese quarter in the town blossomed with bunting, flags, and lan- terms; day fireworks banged off the new stone quay at the waterfront and every sendo and rickshaw man in town was out behind brass band, trailing his enthusiasm through the narrow streets of the mongrel town.
 There were long speeches in the high sounding formal oratory of the Japanese, a parade drill of some of the Japanese soldiers still retained in Corea for the good of the Coreans and long night afterward of saki drinking and dancing l by the geisha.
 1 The Ruussians who came down from Seoul had no part in the Japanese fes- | tivities. With NJ de Somow the Rus sian consul general, there were M. Biru- 1 koff, the archimandrite of the Orthodox | church of the diocese of Corea; a few | attaches from the consulate and a half | dozen Russian merchants and travellers. l They went out to the little foreign | burying ground on one of the bleak, tree l lfI He oaly nf la | where all of the dead that had been re- covered from the Variag and Korietz af- for the battle were buried, the archi- mandrite conducted the orthodox service for the repose of the dead. The responses | were sung by Corean converts.
 Among some of the foreigners who stood in the cemetery with uncovered heads while the priest offered up prayers for the brave dead were those who re- membered the day when the Variag and ! Korietz came limping back Into harbor after having stood off for more than ar hour the overwhelming squadron under Admiral Uriu. The Variag, her unpro-
 tected sides punctured like a sieve. was listing to such an extent that the black
 ened shouts of some of her starboart guns were dipping in the waves. The
 Korietz, a little gunboat hardly bigger
 than an American revenue cutter, hat
 been under the protection of her bigger
 sister and was practically unhurt.
 Then 1t was that, as the foreigners who
 ranged the hillsides back of the town ant
 the knobs of the harbor island saw thu
 conquering Japanese squadron coming il
 to take it's prizes, the roar of fired mag
 azines smote the ugly little town and thu
 two Russian ships dropped to the mud O
 the harbor. Even as the smoke of thu
 explosion mushroomed out into the highe
 air strata and the bays waters were pep pered with the falling fragments of thu

His Fixed Income.

A southern congressman who formerly practiced law in Mississippi tells of an amusing case he once tried in that state He was then a student in the office of his uncle, Colonel Martin, who figured in local politics.
 The main figure in the trial was a lazy darky named Dick Sutton. arrested at the instance of his wife, who alleged that he contributed nothing to her support and refused to work.
 During the examination of Sutton the young lawyer asked:
 Dick, have you any fixed incomeT
 Sutton was puzzled by the term. Coun- sel explained that the expression meant a certainty, money paid not for odd jobs, but for steady employment; in other words, compensation at stated intervals on which one could absolutely rely.
 Upon the conclusion of counseFs re- marks, the darky's face frightened.
 "I think I has a fixed income. sah. ' said he.
 And what is this fixed income" wal the next question.
 "Well, sah," answered Dick, with a broad krin in the direction of Colonel Martin, de Colonel dere alters give me fo' dollars an sack O flour on lection dayi"

 Agriculture has not long been consid- cred a great industry, although some of our greatest men considered 1t an honor to be called great farmers, Jefferson among them. He prided himself and de- sired to be called the greatest farmer tn the United States.
 Times are changing. The young men are beginning to understand that the best opportunities to them are on the farm. and why not? Agriculture is the greatest among all the arts or man, as 1t is the first in supplying his necessities. It fla vors and strengthens population, 1t ere ates and maintains manufacturers; 1t gives employment to navigation and fur nishes material to commerce; it animates every species of Industry and opens the channels of wealth safest to all nations. It is the strongest bond of well-regulated society; the surest basis of eternal peace and natural associate of correct morals. Among all the occupations and profes- sions of life there is none more honor- able, none more independent and none 1 more conducive to health and happiness.

turning their attention to Its culture more and more each year.


 This years harvest began early in March. Four approved varieties are being sent out, and only the best and most thrifty rods are selected for dis tribution, says the New York Evening Post. The management of the holts and work of free distribution of cuttings is charged to the United States Forest ser vice. Cuttings for experimental plant ing and information on management of the willow holts are furnished to those who make the request of the Forester at Washington.
 The government recognizes the impor- tance of good cuttings, point more commonly overlooked than the matter of cultivation. Only the best and most thrifty rods are selected for each sea sons distribution. To produce a desira-
 ble grade of rods it Is very important to select planting stock not only from thoroughly tested stocks. but the cut tngs should be taken from the tallest,
 perfectly straight. cylindrical branch less, and fully matured rods. High grade basket willow can be raised only by being sure that the cuttings planted are from parent stock above the average.
 The policy of the Forest service is to
 increase the number of important bas-
 ket willows and determine their value
 under different soil and climatic con-
 ditions, and as the final tests of new
 varieties are completed, those proved to
 be valuable will be added to the dis
 tribution list.
 Cuttings of new and untried basket
 willows were obtained from Europe a
 year ago and planted in the services ex-
 perimental ground. Close observations
 will be made upon the growth of these,
 and if the results are favorable during the first three years. cuttings from these
 varieties will be distributed in the United States In case of some varieties much longer time may elapse before their value can be established.
 The Forest service is receiving a con- stantly increasing number of requests for basket willow. cuttings. These re- quests come from farmers all over the country many of them coming through members of Congress. The service Is endeavoring to stimulate the basket will low industry in this country by distribut- ing cuttings of the most approved va rieties of willows, and the four vari- cities tested fer the last five years in the experimental holt at Arlington, Va, can now be confidently distributed. The behavior of the plants has been care | fully observed as to the quantity and quality of the crop, to their resistance | and lack of resistance to diseases, as well as other points that would affect | the proftableness of each variety. The | observations made during the first two years were pu~..shed fin circular 14S by | the Forest service. At the close of this springs harvesting, now going on, the
 results of the past three years tests will
 be published. -,.a
