GAME WARDEN OF THE GULF
Captain Sprinkle Of the Royal Tern
10 an Efficient Protector Of
Bird Life.

The Royal Tern, boat which is the
property CT the Audubon society, is
commanded by Capt William Sprinkle
born and bred on this gulf coast, who
knows the sea fowl, and the islands
where they breed and dwell. as hs
knows the winds and the lovely, smil-
ing, treacnerous gulf waters. He is
game warden and he and the Royal
Tern are the police force of more than
five hundred square miles of sandbars,
shallow waters and intricate channels.
The man and the boat are two of the
chief obstacles in the way of the poach
ers, the plume hunters and eggers.
who always threaten these bird sane.
tuaries.
Many of these poachers are at hear,
good men, who follow their fathers
business, just as respectable men on
the seacoast once followed the bust
ness of wrecking. But when times
change and a once acknowledged trade
comes under the ban of the law the
character of those following it also
changes for the worse. Wreckers are
no longer respectable, and plume hunt
ers and eggers are sinking to the same
level.
The Illegal business of killing breed
ing birds, of leaving nestlings to starve
wholesale, and of general ruthless ex
termination more and more tends te
attract men of the same moral cate
CORY as those who sell whisky to In
dams and combine the running O.
blind pigs" with highway robbery an(
murder for hire. In Florida one of the
best game wardens of the Audubon
society was killed by these sordid bir(
butchers.-Theodore Roosevelt, IL

Salt and Pellanna.

A sharp increase in the number of
cases Of pellagra among the poor of
Italy is expected to follow the issu-
ance Of royal decree. adding an addi-
tonal tax OF 1 cent on a pound of salt.
There are about 10000 cases of
pellagra in Italy at present. Twenty
per cent Of the cases brought under
observation are fatal. Pellagra de-
velops almost exclusively among the
poorer classes who subsist almost en-
tirely on cornmeal in one form or an
other.
Investigation has convinced Italian
medical men that the use Of salt In
cooking Of corn products prevents fer
meDtati0u and checks tho disease
The new tax will put salt out Of the
reach Of many thousands of Italians

The board of supervisors are
mind readers which accounts for
the awarding of the county
! printing to the Holbrook News.
Our readers will recall that the
defense of the supervisors, in
calling the News man on the
telephone to ask him if he meant
single or double column meas
ure, was that the bid was indefi-
mite. The Holbrook News bid
reads as follows:
For publishing the proceedings of the
board of supervisors, one insertion
only, Is cents per inch.
The Winslow Mail as follows:
Publishing proceedings of the board
of supervisors one insertion, Is cents
an inch.
The supervisors could read the
mind of the editor of the Wins
low Mail, and knew he meant
single column measure; but as
the Holbrook editor had no mind
to read they had to call him up
on the telephone. Don't the
conspiracy of the court house
gang improve with their various
subterfuges for a defense? Per-
haps the truth would be their
best defense. They ought to
try it once. .-WinsloW Mail.

How to make starch from corn
by Thomas Kingsford, a mechanic
One day he threw a mess of corI
meal mush into the garbage pail. His
wife emptied some lye into the same
pail and in the morning when he emp
tied the pail he was astonished to find
a small quantity of starch at the bot
tom.
Thomas Bolsover, a Sheffield me
chanic, was mending the handle of
knife made of copper and silver. He
saw these metals fuse together and
the idea of silver plating was born in
his mind. He laid a thin plate of sill
yer on a heavier one of copper and
heated them till the edge of the silver
began to melt He took them from the
fire, let them cool slightly, then rolled
and hammered them to the desired
thickness. This was the origin OF
in this way until electroplating was
invented.

INDOOR BLOSSOMS

A foretaste of spring may be had reigns in the field and forest, if he will force few twigs to bloom in the house.
 Go into the garden, the orchard, the forest, the hedges, and cut twigs a foot or two long and sort them into bouquets-each sort separate. Place in vases in water in a sunny window A little charcoal added will help keep the water sweet.
 Change the water twice a week and wash the cut ends in warm, sOapy water once week. The vases should be washed thoroughly every time the water is changed. Once a week it is well to soak the branches in warm water, before the flowers open, and thus take the place of the warm, spring rains. Do not keep them in dry hot atmosphere.
 Hazel tassels will develop in the sit ting room, so will the pussy willow. One of the earliest and quickest shrubs in the house is the forsythia, along with the Towering almond The dogwood unfolds it's lovely disks side by side with the fragrant crab apple.
 Almost all the fruit trees will bios. som indoors, but they take a long time to do so. Many Towering shrubs may be relied upon for blossoms, while the maple, grape, willow, beech. horse chestnut, etc, will give leaves that we prize. as they come before the swallow dares," and remind us that the resurrection of nature is at hand.

GROWING WATER LILIES

Fortunate are those having a natural pond or site where one may be easily constructed. Yet a minia- ture pond in the garden is within the reach of anyone
 In selecting site, choose one, if possible, partly shaded from the noon- day glare, yet having the full benefit of the morning sun.
 It should be on low ground, the top being preferably just below the ground level.
 If there is not natural depression, an artificial one can easily be made, the earth removed from the pool be- ing arranged at the proper place at the sides to make a gradual slope.
 It should be about two feet deep for our native lilies and lotus, but an other foot must be added if you are so ambitious as to try to grow that giant beauty, Victoria Regina
 Have it protected from high winds in some way; trees or shrubs serve nicely.
 The material used in making the pond may be concrete or brick An outlet or an overflow pipe are essen tial.
 Unless the pond is large, one must be shy of trying many varieties, as the stronger soon crowd out the weaker.
 If the tank with pipes Is not within reach beautiful effect may be ob- tained by sinking tub or half bar rel into the ground and placing one or two plants in 1t.
 The soil should be very rich and filled in to a depth of two-thirds. An ideal soil is made by composing barn yard manure with rich sods of loamy nature, using in the proportion of one and two-thirds, respectively.
 Sprinkle a little sand over the top and fill the tank with water With a sunny exposure during part of the day, the plants will grow and bloom nicely.
 Unless one Is willing to pipe the water, it must be supplied as needed, by filling from pails As the plants need very little other care, this can we'll be afforded.
