Why Is a Turkey So Namedf
Why the turkey is called the tur-

ly occidental is IA subject that has puz-
lied many persons. There are several
reasons given by Nose who have
d"lved deeply into this problem. and
n is privileged 10 take his choice.
In the first place, it is stated that the
turkey was originally supposed to
have coine from Asia. Thus at Il
time when ii great stretch of territory
on the Asiatic continent was called
'Tdrkcy' the bird derived It's name
from its supposed origin. Another
speculative chTuulripr records that th,
Indians called tlir bird 'irke.' and
tllat from this its commo name was
crclted. Then, again, it is somewhat
generally believed that the bird naiird

airy to refer to them as bread. An
other chroniCler sets forth the fact
that the breast of the wild turkey
when cooked in butter was esteemed
by even the epicures among the ex-
plorers. But in spite of their album

NEW MILIT TARY UNITS.
Formation of Auxiliary Units
Goes on in mississippi.

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. l8-While
no further infantry unit can be
accepted in or from Mississippi by
tie war Department, according to
official advices received by Adjt.-
Gen. Erie @. Scales additional to
those which have been Blready
mustered in to the national army
forces now in the field, there is an
excellent opportunity for enter
prising and far-seeing leaders of
men in the Magnolia State to Or
ganize other uuits. This auxiliary
organizations would include field
hospital a company of engineers, a
battalion of artillery and two troops
of cavalry,
1t is known that since the irst reg
iment of infantry left jackson,
month ago for Fort Wilson, Texas,
much inquiry has been received
from different parts of this state
from men who have been active in
organizing additional units, and
this fact was referred to the chief
of the militia division by Adjt..
Gen Scales.
In reply to letter Submitted TO
the chief of militia the Mississip
pi authorities we're advised that nc
additional infantry units would be
recognized or authorized until the
auxiliary units allotted to Missis-
sippi are organized and mustered
into service.
According to Adjt.-Gen Scales
who was questioned in regard to
this matter the auxiliary units eliot
ted to this state are: Two troops
of cavalry, one battalion. composed
of three companies or batteries Of
artillery, one field hospital and one
engineer corps
As stated by Gen. Scales, his Of
fee has been advised thet an infan
try organization was about ready
for muster in at Gulfport. The

plotnOt0lo nave USou duVlS0u, HOW
ever, that under the departments s
ruling, as referred to, this contin-
gent could not be accepted as in
fantry instead, If the promoters SO
elect, the same prospective recruit
could be organized into the service
as cavalry. 1t is belived that an
efficient cavalry force could be or
ganized on the coast, and main
tanned by the cities of Biloxi, Gulf,
port, Pass Christian, and other
points contiguous.
Iu view Of the fact that the cav
airy branch of the military service
is recognized as "gocd thing" to
"jine," as Gen. Jeb Stuart obser7-
ed. It seems as if the men of the
coast region have an excellent op
portunity, in view of the coming
birthday party celebration which is
now being staged to organize a
fine cavalry command.
A prominent officer of the ma
tional guard who was on a visit to
day at Gen. Scales headquarters,
discussed practical arrangements
for the muster In of fine troop,
to be. made up by Lexington and
Carrollton people and it is believed
that fine troop can be organized
between the two placas, and that
they will undou btedly make good.
AS to the field hospital, steps
are already being taken to organize
such at Bclzoni.
1t would not be difficult to or
ganize company of engineers
about Indianola, so the officers
believe for there is excellent ma
teriel in that part of the state from
which to draw for both officers and
enlisted men,
As to the artillery battalion, it
will rest between Green wood, Cor
inth, Clarkdele or Macon
Officers have their eyes particu-
larly on Corinth, in which no mill
ta1y organization has existed for
many years, as we'll as on that
great little City of Clarksdale,

high-spirited young men.

All Goods Frozen,

The markets Of Irkutsk. in Siberia,
are an interesting sight, for the prod
ucts offered for sale are in most cases
frozen solid. Fish are piled up in
stacks like so much cordwood, and
meat likewise. All kinds of fowl are
similarly frozen and piled up. Some
animals brought into the market
whole are propped up on their legs,
and have the appearance of being actu-
ally alive, and as one goes through the
markets one seems to be surrounded
by living pigs, sheep, oxen and fowls
standing up. But, stranger yet, even
the liquids are frozen solid and sold in
blocks. Milk is frozen into a block in
this way and with a string or a stick
frozen into or projecting from it. This,
it is said, is for the convenience of the
purchaser, who is thus enabled to car
ry his milk by the string or stick-han-
die,
