WATCH FLIGHT OF
DOVE AT EASTER
FIorentines Have an Odd Custom
Which Is Said to Commence
rate the Deeds of a Knight in
the Days of the CruSadeS.

A CURIOUS custom prevails In
~ Florence at Easter in the flight
l of the Dove. Its origin Is OBJ
scure, but the Rev. S. Barring
Gould, who has well described it in
his I'm TrOubadour Land" says that
it is alleged by some to commemorate
the deeds of a Florentine knight, who,
in the crusade led by Godfrey de
Bouillon, was the first to climb the
walls of Jerusalem and set upon them
the banner of the Cross. This knight
then sent back the news of the re-
covery of the Holy Sepulcher to Flor
ence by carrier pigeon, and SO it was
the first city in Europe to hear the
good tidings.
The caro-, a huge black structure
on wheels, is garlanded with flowers,
and covered with fireworks. 1t is
drawn into the Cathedral square by
white oxen, also decked out with flow
ers. Then the following ceremony
takes place. A rope is extended from
the caro- to a pole which is set up in
the choir of the DuomO, before the
high altar, right up the whole length
of the nave. Upon the rope, close to
the pole, is perched a white plaster
dove. At the stroke of twelve, while
the Easter eve Mass is in progress, ga
match is applied to a fusee, and in
stantly the white dove flies along the
rope, pouring forth a tail of fire, down
the nave, out at the west gate, over
the heads of the crowd, reaches the
CARO-, ignites a fusee there, turns, and,
still propelled by it's fiery tail, whizzes
along the cord again till it has reach
ed its perch on the pole in the choir,
when the fire goes out and it remains
stationary. But in the meantime the
match ignited by the dove has COM
municated with the squibs and crack
ers attached to the caro-, and the
whole mass Of painted wood and flow
erS is envelOped in fire and smoke,
from which issue sheets of flame and
loud detonatiOns. Meanwhile Mass is
being sung composedly within the
choir as though nothing were happen
ing without. The fireworks continue
to explode for about quarter of an
hour, and then the great garIanded
oxen, white, with huge horns, are re-
yoked to the CAIRO, and it is drawn
away
The flight of the dove is watched
with keen attention and interest by
the peasants, for from it's style of
flight they augur a variety of future
happenings. Thus, if the bird sails
along easily without jerks they say
the summer will be fine; while if it
goes sluggishly, and makes frequent
halts, they presage storms, late frosts,
hail, and, as consequence, bad crops.

ROAD DRAG MADE effective
Directions Given for Constructing I'm
pIement Weighing About 200
Pounds for Dirt Rgafl

In response to query as to the
construction Of a cheap, but effective
road drag the following directions are
given:
Take two planks each ten feet long,
two inches thick and twelve inches
wide, rounding both ends of one edge
in manner similar to the run
ners in sled. The two planks are
then placed on edge and connected on
the top by two planks six feet long,
thus making a sled ten feet long and
six feet wide.
The two runners are again connect
ed by two planls two inches thick and
twelve inches wide. These planks are
set on edge, the same as the runners,
and at an angle of about As degrees to
the runners, as follows:
On the right side OF the drag start
the diagonal plank II inches back Of
the front, and connect with the OPP
posite runner (Which will be the left
side), 5 feet back of the front runner;
then have another plank Of the same

front Of the two dragging planks, the
bottom of the iron shoe to- be one-haIf
inch below the runner on the right
side and exactly even with the runner
On the left side.
Large holes should be bored In
front ends Of the runners in which
to attach the rope or chain to pull the
drag. 1t Is well to hitch the horses as
close as possible. The total weight of
the drag, under these specifications. is
about 200 pounds and an ordinary team
can pull it on a dirt road, with heavy
man on, with less effort than any other
drag of the same dimensions on the
market and it will be found that this
road leveler will do far better work
than split-log or metal drag.
