Dancing Birds.

One OF the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa Ia par
ty OF Waiting ostriches. Their queer
antics hive been described thus:
when there are a number OF them
they will start OF in the morning and
after running a few hundred yards will
stop and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupeAed or
perhaps break a leg. The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court They kneel on their ankles.
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other
while the neck Is stretched on level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The birds appear at this time so alb
sorbed In their occupation as to forget
all that ia going on around them and
can be approached and caught The
male alone utters a cry, which sounds
much like an effort to speak with the
mouth shut tight"

Connection Between
Schools and Roads.

Al writer In the Southern Good Roads
Monthly has compiled list Of Stats
tics showing the connection between
schools and roads. 1t 10 made plain
that in the states where the roads are
poorest the iNiteracy is highest. The
child In the rural districts who must
wade through sand or mud to school
is surely seriously handicapped. Some
days that child will not be able to at
tend school and when he does he is
not as well prepared as he would be
If he had comfortable roads to walk
over.
Bad roads walk hand in hand with
poor schools, Indifferent teachers and.
at times. curtailed sessions of school.
Good roads enhance the land values,
tend to make prosperous communities
and therefore help to provide better
schools with full terms.
Some of the figures quoted are in
land, Connecticut. Ohio and Indiana.
may be termed good roads states and
in these states n per cent OF the chill
dren of school age are in school. In
i've states. which may be termed bad
roads states, Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia. Arkansas and South Carolina,
less than 90 per cent OF the children
are in school. In this last group OF
states. less than two per cent OF the
roads are improved. In the first named
group 35 per cent are improved.
The majority of poor roads states
are in the South and the percentage
of illiteracy is high In the South.
When we have better roads in Flor
ida we viii also have better schools
and an Improvement in both is needed
All Mfchiganders are not geese, as
recent political developments have
demonstrated.

The Scholar
In Diplomacy.

The tendency of PresiGeis. Wilson
to appoint great scholars rather than
milIionaires 20 the more important
diplomatic posts is not only pleasing
to the thoughtful people OF this coun-
try, but it seems to make q favorable
impression abroad. The British news
papers and magazines speak In terms
of highest praise OF the appointment
or walter H. Page to the court OF
St. James and recall the days when
the United States was represented by
Bancroft. Washington Irving. and
Lowell.
1t has been estimated that Levi p.
Morton spent $4,000 a year while at
Paris and that it cost John Hay the
same sum annually to live in London

To CONSERVE
AND IMPROVE
HUMAN FAMILY
BILL IS INTRODUCED TO PRE-
VENT THE MARRIAGE OF EPI-
LEPTIcs AND PERSONS AZ
FLIcTED WITH GRAVE MALA-
DIEs.
BY FRANK [. HuFFAKER

Tallahassee, April 20. = Senator
Bitch. Of Montbrooh. wants to con-
serve and improve the human family.
by reason OF which he introduced yes
terday bill which will undoubtedly
be the subject of an interesting fight.
Enforcement of the bill would pre-
vent the marriage OF epileptics and
persons afflicted with other grave
maladies. and would cause county
judges issuing licenses to such persons
to be severely penalized. The bill
would further require that brides and
grooms to be. to give notice of their
approaching marriage some time before
the license is applied for. thereby Civ
ing an opportunity for ascertaining If
they are victims Of dread disease
which should not be transmitted to
their offspring.

years. The birds are of great value to

such a law will be passed for some of

The Horneseekers
Are Coming.

It gives The Pensacola Journal a
great dea, Of pleasure to refer to the
statement made by the Live Oak Dem
ocrat that. "Suwannee county is get
ting the real homeseelxerst men with
their families. who are coming here
to buy land. not as an investment. but
to settle down to farming and de-
veloping the great agricultural re-
sources OF this great farming coun-
try"
All this is true and not only true as
regards Suwannee county, but the
same satisfactory condition of affairs
exists in all parts OF the state.
Tourists are all right. Florida wants
them, and wants more OF them each
year. and what is more and better
she is getting them In increasing
numbers with each recurring season
But the homeseelxers are the real thing
This is what Florida greatly and par
ticular.y needs. She wants men with
families and some means, however
small. to buy lands. build homes AMI
take part in the development of this
wonderful and fertile country.
It is not difacult thing to get mer
of the right kind to locate in Florida
The state has to offer the greatest
and most favorable climate on the con-
tinent and lands OF fertility ami easy
tillage at low prices. 1t only remains
to find the homeseeker and acquaint
him of the opportunities Florida ha.
to offer.
