Nine men dropped by„the side of

made to work the presses with,
men in overcoats, succeeding
each other in gangs. The ther

— Russlia's Internal Troubles.
Though the anti-government
riots in St. Petersburg Sunday
•book, tbe empire to its very
foundations and filled the breas's
of the Czar and those who stand
lor the'perpetuatlon of Russian
despotisnrwitb' an alarm which
they well Tfiay heed, tbe Russian
mess dismissed the affair with
the briefest possible reports.
The rigid band of the censor
kept out-of the public prints
anything approaching a full his
tory of tbe affair—just as though
the news would not spread fr,,m
mouth to mouth, from City t >
village and from district to dis-
triet. The efforts the. impeiial
'.government makes to deceive
' the people is'completes! evidence
of its lmpoteucy, and the fact
that the Russiau press it begin
ning to manifest a bolder spirit
in calling for reforms is proof
that the time is near when the
‘‘divine right’' of tbe despot
will have to make way fo^the
divine right of the peiple.—Al

In tlio south there Ih oue bird which
everybody kuows whether beds a na
ture student or not ! refer to tbe
turkey vulture, or turkey buzzard, ns
most peoplo call him. This bird seems
to be an ever present feature of the
eouthern landscape, for look upward
when you will you may see him sweep
ing tbe sky wlfti outspread wlngn,
wheeling In broad circles or soaring In
graceful spirals, with seeming never a
stroke of tbe mighty plnldns for hours
at a time.
One day X saw a vulture sailing thus,
says Ernest Harold Bsynes In the
Boston Herald, and X carefully marked
his flight until ho descended from the
white clouds and disappeared near the
edgo of a distant wood. Supposing
that he bad come down to feed on some
carrion-* dead horse perhaps, which
had been dragged Just outside of the
woods and left—I made the best of my
way to the spot where I lost sight of
the bird, that I might be a witness to
the feast
I arrived at the wood, but neither
bird nor carcass could 1 see. Then I
bethought ipe that this was the month
of May, and that perhaps the buzzard
had a nest thereabout I hunted un-
des the bushes,*along the side of fallen
trees and in some old stumps which
were etaodhig near, but not a feather
was to be seen.
Presently 1 spied a log which lay
somewhat apart in the shadow of oopie
shrubs, and as I approached It out
from somewhere came a big turkey
buzzard, which qtrickly disappeared
behind the trees. On coming up to the
log, which was a largo one, j found
that it was hollow, and in the cavity
there were two eggs, which doubtless
belonged to the vulture which had just
departed. They were considerably lar
ger than the eggs of a domestic hen,
and In color they were dirty whits,
heavily spotted with chocolate brown.
I left them that 1 might have an op
portunity to atndy the young.
The next time X visited the hollow
log the parent birds ware not In sight,
but In tbs nest I found two downy
fledgelings, which could scarcely be
called pretty. They were in every way
less attractive than young hawks of
the same age. They expressed their
disapproval of my presence by a weak
growling sound.
I could not visit tha spot again for
some weeks, and when X did one of
them bad disappeared. Tbe other was
no longer In tbe hollow log, but stand*
Ing at a tittle distance, and 7 was In
terested to see the change In his sp*
pea ranee. In tbe first place, be bad
grown tremendously; the down which
bad formerly covered the whole body
was now confined cblefly to the head,
neck and under parts, and the rest of
the bird was clothed with firm black
feathers. He looked fat and well fed.
I reached out my hand and cnoght
him by *one wfng. But here he had a
surprise for me, for ho seized my fin
ger In his booked bill and with a turn
of bis bead twisted off a bit of the
flesh before I lmd' time oven tp object
After hurriedly cleansing tbe wounds
again advunced on Abe enemy, wbo
was gnino enough to satisfy any one
and came to tbe attack with open bill.
Of course bo was not dangerous in the
least, for bo was very young and could
not even fly, but for a fledgeling tbe
grip ha could give with bis bill was
ustonlsblng.
However, I picked him up. took him
homo and tethered him In tb© garden
with a strap to one leg. Tbe first night
be ate n good-meui of liver, and ufter
that be took nlmoat any kind of meat
thut was given him. I let him have
carrion whenever it was convenient,
but at other times be ate freahly killed
frogs, fresh beef, opossum and eveu
fish.
One night soon nfter I bad brought
him homo I went out to see bow be
looked when be was. asleep. It-was so
dark that bis black plumage was not
visible against tbe grass. All I could
see of bltn wax n white spot, bis bead,
as It bung near tbe ground.
1 approached very quietly and was
within five feet when, something hap
pened. Out of the darkness there come
s flash of white atralgbt toward me
with a speed which caused me to step
quickly backward, and at the same In
stunt there was a stsrtJJng. rustling
sound, accompanied by a guttural
growl, wblcb for a moment 1 did not
recognize as tbe voice of the young
