EMBROIDERED MAP.

A. Henry Peterson of the Seattle
office of the United States shipping
commissioners department has
hanging on his Office wall a map Of
Alaska which is something of a
curiosity. Like most sailors of the
old school. Peterson is handy man
with the needle and ein the spare
time at his disposal it took him
ten months to make the map. 1t is
all of silk embroidery, and nearly
800 skeins of silk thread were used
in its manufacture. The different
divisions of country are done in diff.
ferent colored silk, and all the
names are worked in. The map ia

CAUSE FARMERS HEAVY LOSS
Malicious Destruction by Hunters Of
Birds Greatly to 30 De-
plored.

"The loss to the farmers Of the
United States through the wanton
destruction of friendly birds is over
$800,000,0OO," said H. R. Walms-
ley, president of the Mississippi Au-
dubon society, at the meeting of the
Missouri Horticultural society, in
Kapsas City, Mo. re-
'Tt is not the sportsmen but the
market hunter and the man who
kills to get the feathers for the mil
liners that are decimating the bird
population of this. country and do
ing vast injury to the. farmers as a
result. There is only one class of
birds that are of no value to the
farmer and in fact are detriment
to the country, and these are the
English sparrows. They eat the
farmers grain whenever they can
get it, to the exclusion of other
foods. The quail. on the other hand,
live on the insect life and worms
which they find on the farms, eating
but very little grain"

REARRANoINa HIS HAREM.

Despite his trials and response
bilities, Mulai Hafid, sultan of Mo-
rocco. finds opportunity for dis
fractions. His chief amusement at
the moment is the rearrangement Of
his harem. Six fair Circassian
slaves have recently arrived. His
majesty has also divorced one of the
four legitimate wives allowed by
Koranic law, and is about to espouse
the daughter of a late vizier. 1t is
rumcred that two other royal d.
vorces are pending, and that the
places Of these discarded wives will
be taken by the daughters Of loyal
subjects.

RICH BOOTY FOR ROBBERS.

A great stir has been caused in
the religious Mussulman circles at
Constantinople owing to the theft
by burglars of one Of the most
precious relics of the prophet Ma
homet from the dervishes' convent
at Eskijebir. The relic is lamp Of
Arab workmanship of the tenth CEN
tury, set with diamonds and other
precious stones, and it is valued at
$50O,O0O. 1t is the general belief
that the robbery was engineered by
the sect known as the Wahabite
Mussulmans.

FIND IT HARD TO CLASSIFY
Lovers cf che Noble oame OF Chess
Differ ss TO Just How II
Should Ne Ranked.

Chess is a very old game, but II
has hardly yet been clsssed as a
mere form or entertainment or as a
science. Those who would invest it
with the latter dignity have received
important support from the Brook
lyn Institute Of Art and Sciences.
The management has made arrange
ments for course Of lectures on the
subject during the coming two
months. The managing director
says: with the playing Of the
game, the institute, as such, is not,
of course, concerned, but as an edu-
cational or chronological element,
with its history, general theory and
esthetic phase, it is quite in our
line" The public may not really
recognize its chronological value, but
that probably lies in the transfer
ence of this ancient game from coun-
try to country and it's effect upon
the mental processes Of various
peoples. In its essential features it
was played in Hindustan almost as
far back as history runs. From
there it spread to Persia and thence
to Arabia. The Arabs introduced it
into Spain in the eighth century
and it was then gradually adopted
in the other countries of Europe.
AS a player and writer Benjamin
Franklin was the first American to
bring it into prominence. It no
doubt furnishes mental discipline of
value, but the number Of noted
players who have become insane
through devotion to it suggests that
its introduction into the sciences be
carefully guarded.

HEN GIVES A coMIcaL TURN
Not on the Program. but Perform.
anoe Intensely Amused the
Audience.

AT concert in Glasgow, Scot
land, recently, a hen provided nm
amusing turn not included on the
program. The bird was the prop
erty Of Chinese conjurer and after
the trick in which it played a part
was over it disappeared behind a
screen and escaped observation. A
selection by the orchestra was next
on the program. Enchanted with
the strains, the bird popped its head
around the screen and came forward
TO investigate. Perkily it strode
down the empty stage and, reaching
the middle, pridefully cooked up one
leg and emitted a most hoarse and
.pnmusical crow. The audience was
convulsed and members of tho ar
chestra doubled up with laughter.
Pleased with its efforts, the fowl
proceeded to walk up and down the
stage, growing when some strains
specially pleased it. Despite every
effort it eluded capture for several
minutes, until valiant attendant
chased it off the stage into the lap
of a lady sitting in one of the front
seats. More from fright than from
intention the lady threw her hands
over her lap, imprisoning the i'm
promptu performer until the at
tendant arrived and conveyed it be-
hind the scenes.

RAISING HOGS DOWN SOUTH.
The Agricultural Department Finds
Pork Profitable Product.

Pork Profitable Product.
In a recently published bulletin upon
Feeding Hogs in the South" the follow
ing conclusions are reached with refer
ence 10 growing pork for home consump-
ton or for sale in the markets in the
Southern States:
Hogs can be raised at a profit in the
South, and Southern farmers should raise
more Of them.
Hogs cannot be raised prohtably on
corn alone.
While FORK can sometimes be made at
a profit when corn is supplemented with
nothing but a concentrated feed, stiIl 1t
is not wise TO use concentrated supple
ments alone.
Hogs can be produced cheaper when
pastures are used along with grains than
when grains are used alone. By means
of pasture crops, pork can be made
cheaper In the South than It Is possible
10 make it In the corn belt
The advantages arising from the use of
pastures are:
Pork costs only One-third 70 one-half
as much when pastures are used as when
concentrated feeds alone are used.
The soils are improved very materially
as a result CT growing the legumes for
the hogs and feeding extra grains to the
animals.
The crops are harvested Through the
hogs) without danger of loss from rains.
and without expense.
The hogs are under favorable health
conditions; therefore losses from disease
Will be lesscned.
