TRAINING THE HAWK.
A Feeding Lesson Given BY an Old
Bird to tie Young.

A Feeding Lesson Given by an OLD
Bird to tie Young.
While fishing In a remote and wild
part of Scotland British naturalist
Glanced to witness an entertaining per-

A cry Of a young hawk TO It's parent
was heard. and the naturalist soon To-
Gated three young peregrine falcons
sitting side by side on n shelf Of rock
overhanging the lake In which he was
fishing Presently the old bird came
in.0 view. like dot out Of the sky,
and made straight for her vociferous
young
She poised high above the shelf on
which they were sitting and to the
surprise OF the watcher dropped the
bird she was carrying. She had so
chosen her position that the bird clear
ed the rock as II fell toward the lake.
Instantly youngster No. l dashed of
the cliff. Evidently this was not Its
first lesson. for II hurled Itself into
beautiful swoop and actually caught
the prey before II reached the water.
The youngster was not allowed to
enjoy 1t. however. for down came the
old bird and with the utmost grace
snatched 1t from the young ones grasp
and assembled in rapid rings to the
height Of several hundred feet. The
discounted youngster with some diff
iculty returned to the rocky shelf.
The old hawk repeated this maneu-
yer, dropping the prey this time in
front OF No. 2.
The young all knew their lesson, for
neither No. nor No. 3 ventured to
stir. 1t was No. who started in pur-
suit and. like its brother or sister.

prey before It reached the water.
The old hawk did as before. snatch

ing high in the air. she this time drop
ped 1t before No 3. who In turn caught
It. But No. 3 was not allowed to pos
sess the prize. The old hawk now rs
cended TO the shelf beside the yount
ones. tore the prey to pieces and pro
ceeded to divide II equally among her

hay is fed IN connection with II. and

THE HEAD OF THE HERD.
Care Should Be Taken Not to Develop
an Ugly Disposition.

II may seem strange. but nevcrthc
less II is true that all bulls after ar
irving at the age Of one year or more
are liable to become playful. and often
times their playful FRANKS lead to more
serious intentions. such as attacking
people. and for this reason II Is very
important TO protect attendants against
more serious trouble by having n cop
per ring placed In the bulls nose. as
by so doing 1t enables the attendant to
handle the animal with more safety.
II Is exceedingly important never
TO pet bull or punish him. as this
gives him an opportunity TO either get
rough by being petted or resist pun
ishment and thus develop an ugly dis.
position. II is important to give bull
plenty OF exercise. as he is less liable
to become ugly than II closely housed

The 46th General Assembly.


There were 1,249 bills introduced
into the house and 479bills introduced
into the senate, grand total of l, 728.
Of this number, probably 228 were
duplicates, bills reintroduced because
the original bills were destroyed by
the fire. Of the 1900 bills which
aspiring statesmen sought to enact
into laws, 1858 fell in the first skirmish
for endorsement. Committees slaugh-
tered Ala. Some were knocked out
on the floor of the house or senate in
open debate. A large number, 4O5
to be exact, died ofneglect, notenough
merit in them to warrant a respect
able funeral. This left 269 bills-the
number that passed both houses and
were sent to the governor for his
signature or veto. Of this number,
the house fathered 122, while the
senate will have to answer for 147.
The great number of bills caused a
vast amount of work to be thrown
upon the public printer, but the Hugh
Stephens Printing Co. handled the
business in such an expedious and &C.
curate way as to awaken the admira-
ton and win the golden opinion of
every legislator in the state. The fire
doubled the troubles of the printer,
but Mr.. Hugh Stephens rushed the
heavy grist through the mill in record
breaking time without a jar and with
out delay.
The 46th general assembly was free
from the breath of scandal. There
was no lobby harrassing the members
and no suspicion of undue influence
seeking to shape legislation. The
bribe-giver was not in evidence be-
cause the bribe-taker did not have his
open hand behind him. The person
mel Of both houses, like Caesars wife
was above suspicion. The moral tone
and atmosphere Of the legislature was
all that could be desired. The trou-
blesome railroad pass was also con-
spicuous by its absence. Nobody
was on hand distributing pasteboard
favors, good on the various railroads
Of the state. In fact, there was not a
railroad pass issued to anybody con-
nected with the legislature during the
session, a thing that never occurred
before in the history Of the state.

ding of the payroll, no folks at home
drawing salary for services never
rendered. When the footings are
made it will be found that the clerical
force of the Democratic house did moi
cost the state one-half what the clerical
force of the Republican house did two
years ago. And this is something the
people should appreciate.
The 18th general assembly was a
working body. Speaker Barker ap-
pointed the committees of the house
within twenty-four hours after his
election and the senate committees
were named within a few days after
the organization of the upper body.
The election contests delayed the pro-
ceedings for a week and then work
progressed Systematically and rapidly
until the fire occurred, putting the
general assembly out Of business for
practically two weeks. Barring the
intervention of providence, the legis-
lature would have transacted the
business of the session we'll within
the prescribed seventy days. Not
withstanding the calamity of the fire,
with the decentralization attending the
securing and fitting up new quarters,
the assembly made a record for the
dispatch Of business, considering
1900 measures and passing 269 laws
within seventy-five days, or in reality
sixty-five days, counting out the time
lost by the destruction Of the capitol.
This certainly is a remarkable show
ing and one that reflects credit upon
every member Of the general as
sembly.
There was no general demand
among the people of the state for any
special legislation, and hence the
general assembly cannot be charged
with having failed to respond to pub
lie clamor for legislation. There were
a number of meritorious laws sent to
the governor, however, and many,
minor statutes either local in their
character or Of minor importance to
the people Of the state. A resume
Of the measures passed by the gen.
eral assembly Of vital interest to the
people will clearly show that the
Democratic party made good IL
