Rabbits. which have proved a valuable
source OF food in Europe during the pres
eut war, may well be raised more exten-
sively in America by way of reducingthe
drain on the ordinary meat supply, ac-
cording 10 biologists OF the United States
Department OF Agriculture. The business
oil growing rabbits, the specialists point
out, can be carried on by youths and adults
not engaged IN military or other national
service, or in regular industrial employ
ment. The animals may be raised in
back yards OF cities and towns as well as
on farms.
The BelgiaR hare, says statement by
the United States Department OF Agricul-
hire. breeds rapidly. natures quickly, and
produces palatabe and highly nutritious
meat. The cost OF production is less than
that OF any other meat, not excepting
poultry. The supply can be greatly in
creased within few months without
requiring space that may be needed Tor
the production OF crops. Practical ex-
perience has demonstrated that rabbit
meat can be produced in unlimited guam
lilies at a cost OF about cents pound
and by utilizing lawn cuttings and other
vegetation that would otherwise be vast
ed, the cost can be made even lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rabbits
are recommended for meat production. as
the ordinary tame rabbit is smaller aud
develops more slowly. Stock OF Belgian
hares may be dought from breeders in
nearly all the States at 81 10 So each.
They may occasionally be had from pet
stock dealers. Fancy pedigreed stock is
not required Tor meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat hay,
grass. lawn cuttings and green vegetation
OF many kinds. Females should be
allowed 10 breed when s or 10 months
old, and during The year should raise
four Iitters OF about six young each. Well
fed, the young reach remarkable size
when or months old and average from
5 to pounds, live weight.
The Department OF Agriculture has
published bulletin on raising rabbits
which will be helpful 10 those who wish
10 engage in the pursuit.

SaIuting Mount Vernon.

When the Mayflower, bearing the
French commissioners 10 the United
States up the Potomac TO Washington,
passed Mount Vernon, we are told by the
newspapers that the crew OF the vessel
were drawn up at salute and the ships
bell was tolled. Marshal Joffre was par
ticularly touched by this ceremonial, and
as the yacht passed on up the river, he
walked to the stern and stood silently
watching the old mansion until il was hid
den from view.
What the newspapers did not tell US
and what many Americans do not know
is that the ceremony that so impressed
our distinguished visitors has been Tor a
great many years prescribed by the naval
regulations. No United States ship OF
war may pass Mount Vernon withoutpay-
ing that tribute OF respect to the memory
OF Washington.
AS the vessel approaches the beautiful
old place, the commander orders The bu-
gler TO "Sound TO quarters The crew,
officers and men hurry 10 their places,
the word passes TO form along The side
of the ship that faces Mount Vernon, and
to stand at attention. As the ship comes
abreast of the mansion the command "Sa-
Lutte p rings out. Every mau raises his
right hand 10 his cap and holds II there
while The ships bell tolls twenty-one
times, once for each gun Of the national
salute.
"Souni the retreatl' comes the order
as the last stroke of the bell trembles in
TO silence; and the bugle sends its plain
tive notes across The water 10 the tree
clad slopes OF Mount Vernon, from which
the echo faithfully. repeats them to the
the ship.
II is a charming ceremony, simple, yet
indescribably moving, no matter how Of
ten one sees if No wonder Marshal
Joffre, who, like all good Frenchmen,
reverences the name and memory OF
Washington. was stirred. II is fortunate
that his earliest impressions of America
should have been shaped by the beauty OF
that scene and the tender meaning OF the
ceremony that he witnessed.

Shephrdsown Jefferson County, Thursday
A Prophecy Fulfilled.

Visitors at museums often comment on
the sadness OF the present state OF the
Egyptian mummies who were buried with
such great care in hope that their rest
might never be disturbed; but such
thoughts never enter the minds OF natives
who pillage their ancestors graves, nor
do they disturb the more civilized ex-
plofer. To superstitiouS person, how
ever, story OF a mummy that Mr.. K.
Cation Woodville tells in Random Recol-
lectionS might have sinister meaning.
After the ill-fated expedition TO relieve
Gordon, Walter Ingram brought TO Lon
don the mummy of an Egyptian high
priest that he had brought from an Arab
near Assuan When he unrolIed the
mummy he found on its chest gold plate,
upon which was inscribed, "He who dis
turbS my rest and takes me 10 a distant
land shall die violent death. His bones
shall ne'er be found; they shall be scat
tered to the four points OF the world"
Shortly afterwards Ingram went to
Somaliland on a big-game expedition.
He had four-bore rifle, and when in the
elephant region got two good tuskers !;
so he lent his rifle 10 one OF his COM
panions who had not so heavy weapon,
TO give him better chance OF bagging an
elephant. He himself mounted pony
and went off with three SomaliS, armed
With $50 Express, which shoots bullets
Of only two hundred and sixty grains, 10
bag an antelope or perhaps panther,
As luck would have ii Ingram came up
on fine old rogue elephant with mag
nificent pair OF tuSkS. II was too great
temptation 10 be resisted. Galloping up
10 The elephant. The hunter fired both
barrels at the beasts forehead from about
fifteen yards. The bullets flattened upon
the animals skull and only made him
very angry. Ingram galloped out OF reach
and reloaded, rode up and fired again,
with a similar result, again galloped away
and reloaded, and so on, until he had ex-
pended all OF the cartridges.
AS he was galloping away after his last
shot, with the furious brute in pursuit, his
pony suddenly stopped stockstill. appar-
emily for no reason whatever. The ele-
phant thundered up, whisked the hunter
out OF the saddle, dashed him TO the
ground and trampled him TO death. The
tragedy occurred in the bed OF dry null
lah, and was witnessed by the three So
malls, who had climbed for safety to the
tops oftrees. They were armed only with
spears, which, OF course, were useless
weapons against the elephant. After the
brute had gone, they climbed down, dug
a hole with their spears, placed the body
OF poor Ingram in it, and returned 10 camp
with their sad story.
Some time afterwards Mrs. Ingram, the
hunters mother, sent out an expedition 10
find and bring back 10 England the re-
mains of her son. The spot was found,
but two rainy seasons had passed and
the dry nulah had become roaring river
that had washed away the remains 10 the
four points OF the earth. Thus was the
prophecy fulfilled.

The American Eagle.

Young people often wonder how II
happened that the American eagle was
taken as the emblem OF the United States.
This bird is really the bald eagle, and II
first received The honor Of becoming our
national bird in 1885, when il was dis
played as the emblem OF this new Amer
ican Republic.
Many prominent men OF the time did
not approve OF the choice. For example,
BENJAMIN Franklin declared that the bald
eagle was the most evil-disposed bird in
the land, and that it did not earn an
honest living, but secured its livelihood
through violence, deceit and treachery.
Franklin's criticism, while il delayed
matters considerably, did not prevent the
eagle from being chosen. Others consid-
cred that this bird was one OF the greatest
possible dignity, as well as beauty and
bravery, and they especially desired il TO
be our national bird or emblem because
OF its very strong attachment 10 its home
and young. In this way they hoped to
be able to make the colonies stand
together, should anything come later 10
trouble them or cause any one OF them 10
falter.
John J. Audubon gave this bird the
name OF fhe Washington eagle, because
he claimed that il was like Washington in
its bravery and the terror Of its enemies
in seeing if, and that just as WashingtoH's
fame was mightiest among en- OF his
day, so was the fame OF the eagle great
est among the feathered tribes.
The ordinary name. "bald," is not
rightly given, inasmuch as the adult birds
have their heads and necks covered with
very white feathers. The bird, however.
does seem bald because, when seen in
the distance, the head and neck shine
and look just as if there were no feathers
covering them.

Our First Temperance Petition.

The water wagon started on its jour-

most persons realize. We offer you as
a proof OF this assertion copy OF quaint
document that had its birth in the month
of April in the year 1851. This old doc
ument is in the form OF petition to a
royal governor signed by twelve men
who were determined that the brewers
big horses shouldn't run over them, and
reads as follows:
Whereas, wee, ye inhabitants OF ye
neu Seated ToWne near ye falls OF Del
aware called Crewcorne), finding our
selves aggrieved by ye Indians when
drunk, informeth that wee be and have
been in great danger OF our lives, OF our

insomuch that wee are afeared TO 90 about
our Lawful affairs least when we come

done wee hope wee shall live peaceably.'

The commission for the manage ment and control of state instltu- tions returned on Wednesday even ing from the southern Arizona Nor maj school at Tempe, that institution having the honor of being the first school visited by the new commis sion.
 First to be done at the Tempe Nor nal, declared the commissioners after their return, is the construction of the dormitory for boys, to be started immediately and which will accom- modate so boys. Considerable pre- liminary work on the heating plant and the dormitory already has been done by the Normal school board ot education, the commissioners an- nounce, and this will enable them to take up the work with more alacrity than otherwise possible
 The cottage system of accommoda- tions for the girls at the Normal was highly commended by w. L. Jamieson the engineer on the commission These cottages accommodate 36 girls each. The commission will rush the work of construction as rapidly as possible in order to have the dorml- tory and heating plant in readiness for the opening of school on Sep tember 15.
 The entire commission, accompanied by Charles B. Christy, secretary, left Phoenix last night for Fort Grant where it will spend Friday. Saturday and a portion of Sunday visiting the Industrial school at that place. The will return to Phoenix Sunday night.
