LIKE UNTO THE DAYS OF OLD
Ia Camargue Alone In France Pre-
serves the Ancient and Honorable
Sport Of Falconry.

La Camargue scorns commonplace
diversions. La Camargue alone, IN
this latter-day France Of ours, pro-
vides the great and enhancing spec
tacle Of hawking. Falcon on w-ist'
the southern sportsmen come to the
Rhone delta to indulge in the aristo-
cratic pastime of falcony, which Is
the princely relaxation Of Arabia,
India and the Kirghiz Steppes, the
noblest sport of old France. the royal
sport above all others.
One cannot meet a hawking party
in the Camargue plain without having
irresistibly brought to mind vision
of the days of old. Behind the varlets
urging on the greyhounds, the howl
ing, barking pack, the whole court fol
lows the fight of the falcon pursuing
the kite in the clouds above; gallant
chase, II ever there was, in which the
ladies on their palfreys, clad In velvet
gowns and feathered hats, worn Guel-
phic fashion. canter in the front rank,
with their coats looped up above the
knee and boots of embroidered leather,
vigorously squirting the horse. 1t was
for them, always for them, that each
We'd with the other in the skill and
elegance wherewith he threw the fal.
con. recalled him after his victory and
placed him gracefully upon his mis-
tress' gloved wrist.
La Camargue Is one great heronry;
and, to a falconer. nothing In the
world comes up to flying a heron"
He is the finest bird of all to hunt.
The pink fiamingo let's himself be bled
without uttering a complaint, hardly
more than a sad little cry, as though
to beg for mercy; few drops OF pale
red blood and all is over. He dies
gently and easily. With the heron the
game is more evenly matched; he Is a
fine. strong bird, q formidable and
very crafty enemy. The falcon shoots
up like an arrow in pursuit. The
gray bird tries to disappear, but his
enemy, who Is struggling to soar
above him in order to swoop down
upon him, runs him close, harnesses
him, compels him to pass the clouds.
The tragedy is contaminated at
giddy height.-Andre Castaigne, in

Secret Of Successful oratory.

The most effective orator l have
ever heard says writer in the
Windsor, was an Italian eX-friar, an
old Garibaldian, Sig. Gavazzi by name,
who lectured in England when l was
in my teens. He was addressing some
5000 men and women of the hard.
headed north country type. He was
speaking in English. which was TO him
AN acquired and foreign language. He
played ON his hearers as if they were
an old fiddle in the grasp of Paganini.
He made them literally laugh and cry
at will He would one moment hush
them in spellbound silence, and the
next, by word or gesture. he would
explode the charged mine of their en-.
thusiasm into deafening cheers. AS
listened to him first understood why
Demosthenes insisted so strenuously
on action-action or delivery as the
first. second and third secret Of sue.

Had 70 Have Her Cigarettes.

Because the management of the
hotel after frantic but fruitless
searching of the city, was unable &c
provide any of the peculiar brand OF
London cigarettes which she is &C
customed to smoke and which she says
are absolutely essential TO her hap
piness. Mrs George Wyndham. a
wealthy and pretty young English
woman, from exclusive Hyde Park
London, gave up her handsome apart
ments in the Hotel Plaza in New
York. With her pretty and demure
English maid she went 10 visit friends
in Tuxedo park, where, she said, she
would have no trouble in getting al
of the cigarettes of the brand she SC
much desired. but of which she has
been deprived.

New War AirShip.

A new type of airship will be
added to the German aerial fleet.
The new dirigible differs in sew
eral important points from other
types. In shape it is similar to a
torpedo. The envelope of the
balloon is yellow to protect it
from the suns rays.
Its four cars are directly at
tached to the framework of the
balloon. 1t will be driven by
four motors, each of 125-horse
power. 1t will carry forty per-

adapted for military purposes.

WHEN SNOW WAS 40 FEET DEEP.
Took 600 Soldiers to Clear the Way In
the English Blizzard Of 1886.

The mogul engines which were
stalled in the recent blizzard out west
do not appear to be worthy successors
Of certain Hercules engine which cut
noble figure in the English blizzard
Of 1886.
To appreciate the role played by the
Hercules some idea must be given of
the effect Of the storm on other meth
DDS of travel. Fourteen mail coaches
were abandoned on as many roads.
Another was dug out of drifts five
times between Exeter and London.
Another was buried so deep that it

miners, several hours to make a pas

the military being turned out to the
lumber Of 600 to clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten feet
deep and hundreds of men and carts
were employed hauling snow out to the
fields in the suburbs. The markets
were in bad way. One day only four
stall holders were able to reach a main
market Greens which few days be-
fore the storm were being sold for
three pence q bunch at market, now
fetched from ten pence to one shilling,
turnips, carrots and celery becoming

pence, and the happy possessor OF a
bunch which he had previously pur-
chased for ninepence realized for his
prize no less a sum than Ell rs Sd.
Amid all this confusion the pioneer
railways covered themselves with glory
by running trains almost without inter-
ruption. There was a deep cutting ox

along. They imagined, Of course. that
she would be stopped, but TO their as

into the drift, clearing her way

Springtime.

Springtime.
The following is a poem from one
of the members of the present senior
class of the High School.
Soft, from the southland the warm
breath of summer
Steals Ger the meadows of rustling
brown
Calls s. to so1 the sleeping ones, "UD and
Summer is near you and springtime
has come !"
Red-breasted bluebirds on wings never
Voice on the air their abandon of joy,
Robins, their freedom in carols pro.
claiming.
Sing of the pleasures that nothing can
cloy.
Down by the watercourse mods the
gray willow
Music of brooklets resounds over
Half-open buds on the beech-tree and
maple
Spread their bright sheen to the
quickening air.
Cowslips spring up from the moss in
the marshes,
Raise to the blue each bright chalice
of gold
Echoes of springtime now thrill thru
the meadows,
Waking all nature in valley and void.
List, as the call of the southland, en-
ticing,
Floats DER the meadows that once
were all brown
Calling the sleepy ones, Cup and be
doing,
Summer is near you, and spring time
has come"
