Male suffragism is spreading. 1t

"MLscat," a prize-winning turkey
gobbler, is the shining example.

cred monarch has assumed the
most delicate domestic function
of his kind, matching and success

young turks.
He is quite willing to sit tight

Matched three chicks out of a pos

his percentage by bringing forth
eight chicks from 16 eggs. It's
become a regular habit with
"Muscat" now. His owners only
fear is that the old gobbler will
completely demoralize the turkey
hens by showing them how easily
they can evade their maternal
duties.

Heads Fell Into 1t.

LONDON-Lieut. Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell has presented to the Museum of the Royal United Service Institution an extraordinary relic the brass bowl used to receive the heads of the victims of King Prempeh of Ashanti It was obtained in the course of the expedition of 1896. The bowl, which resembles an ordinary English bathtub in appearance and size, is about five feet in diameter. On the rim are four small lions, rath- CT well modelled, ard a number of knobs, evidently intended as orna- mentatiOn. There is a gap in the continuity of the series of knobs to allow a space in which the victim may insert his neck preparatory to execution. Any great public occa- sion, says The Times. was seized up on as an excuse for human sacrifice. There was the annual harvest festi- val, at which large numbers of vic tims were often offered. The king al so went every three months to pay homage to the shades of his ances- tors at Bantama, and on each occa- sion the death of twenty men over the great bowl was demanded. King Prempeh used to watch the sacrifices, seated in chair, with the Queen Mother on a stool to his left
