QUEER BIRD SAVED All SEA.
AS the Hotel Imperial Can't Give 1t Worms,
Punkje is on Hunger Strike.

When the steamer Bermudian, which
docked yesterday morning, was 800 miles
from BeImudn, a long-leg9td luudbird,
which none of the amateur ornithologists
aboard could ideI tify, fell exhausted OIL the
deck. After q short rest 1t flew aloft ard
followed in the wake of the ship for Il mile
or so. Then It dipped down to the water and
was soon lost sight of, but MOI for long.
Two hours later it agoin came aboard, and
tLis time to stay.
The hungry, weary bird made 10 attempt
TO escape from the engineer who caught it,
who gave it 10 St. George Tucker, who is
stopping ut the Hotel Imperial with his
strange bird.
"Pankie," so called after Mrs. Pankhurst,
because it has gone on a hunger strike, stea-
ally resisted forcible feeding yesterday uf-
teino0p. and not even the SAVIOUR of fried shud
roe could tempt it. It looks something like
a raven on Suits, and has excessively long
logs. brilliant black ~plumage, dark green
wings edged with turquoise blue, a reddish
brown bin and soulful eyes.
All yesterday afternoon "Ponkie" held an
informal reception in the parlour of the I'm
perial, where it was allowed to roam around
free and many came to view the unregis-
tered guest and tried to guess it species.
Director Hornaday Of the Bronx Zoo said
over the telephone that from its description
it might be a gallinule, and, if so, in addition
to fish. it would need worms and insects to
eat.
These delicocies are not on the Imperials
menu, so 'Pankie' vii! be sent to DIR. Horna-
day TO be fed and watered, and between
meals will hang in u cage in a window of the
hotel, where it is stopping.-N. J. Times,

A SUFFRAGETTE'S FATHER.
Alleged Assault On A Writ Server.

A scene in a Cornish garden, in which fig
nred two clerks and a Sutfragette's father,
was described on Friday last week when
Justices Ridley and Avory granted a rule,
returnable shortly, calling on the doctor to
show cause why he should not be committed
for contempt of court.
An ff1davit by MIR. Thomas Cowling, a
solicitors clerk, who went to serve q writ
at Whitestone Head, Cornwall, on Miss Olive
Wharry (the woman who set Kew Pavilion
on fire and was released after q long hunger
strlke(, stated -
On the first day DR.. Wharry dragged him
to the front door and he left.
On the next day DR.. Wharry met him and
shook hands, and Cowlm9 threw the writ
into the house. The doctor became very
angry and caught hold of him, saying "You
have assaulted me. Then he lifted his leg
and attempted to kick Cowling.
A friend of Cowling's named Rowlands
prevented that by catching hold of the doc
tors thighs, with the result that the doctor
fell to the ground, where a great struggle
took place between the two. Then Cowling
caught the doctor by the throat and the
struggle ended.
Following that the men ran round the
shrubbery to the garden gate, the doctor
following them closely.-Dai Nail, May

SMALL CANE MILLS.

Very few persons have my idea of the ex-
tent to which the sugar ana syrup industry
is carried on in the Gulf States with very
small mills. AS is well known, the genuine
sugar cane, commonly called ribbon cnne,W Will
grow tn oughOut all Of the Gulf States up to
their northern boundaries, excepting we may
say in the Panhandle country OF Texas and
the northern limits Of Mississippi and Ala
bama, but even there the same machinery
is applied to sorghum cane, from which I'M
mtnse quantities of syrup are made. A
builder of small mill, as we have repeated
" stated in this journal, reported to us TWEEN
t%y-tive years ago that they had then already
sold over twenty thousand small cane mills
to the Gulf States between Brownsville, lex
as, and Tampa, Florida. The demand for
these mills has been going on ever since and
is in fact increasing, as there is 10 other way
i'm which a small farmer can do as much good
for himself as by raising at least a limited
amount of sugar cane and perhaps a consider
able amount and with a little apparatus OF
his own, convert it into Il tirst-class cane sy-
rup TINT generally sells III the country towns
for fifty cents per gallon, and, as we all know,
becomes one of the best toodstutfs known Tor
man and beast.
The Golden Foundry AMI Machine Co of
Columbus, Ga., Y. .. a; are manulacIuIlhB
these small mills of all sizes, capable OF being
driven by one horse or many horses, or cattle,
as may be desired, also small mills for steam
power. The mills are all bnilt with inter
changeable parts, SO that should any piece
he broken, it can be replaced at once. The
mills are built proportionntely throughout to
the strains intended and include all OF the
latest ideus in large mill work that can be
applied to these smaller mills. The Golden
Foundry and Machine Go. also manufacture
several kinds of evaporators by means of
which the cane juice cnn be concentrated in
to syrup of any desired density and they
have lately issued a catalogue, No. 33, that
they will send to any parties Interested who
may write to them for it. 1t will be found
quite a little encyclopaedia, covering their
newest models of standard horse power and
steam power cane mills of moderate capacity.
Columbus, Georgia, is located right in one
of the most fertile sections of that State,
where q large amount of sugar cane is grown
in small acrenges and whore experience in
handling sugar cane and in the manufacture
of it into syrups and sometimes into sugar
has been very highly deveIoped.-Uid
