Reasons for Interesting Facts IN
Natural History.

Why have birds gizzards? Because,
having no teeth, the tough and tibrous
gizzards are employed to grind the
food preparatory to digestion
Why does black down grow un-
der the feathers OF birds as winter ap-
proaches? Because the down i. =
non conductor of heat, and black the
warmest color.
Why have ostriches small wings?
Because, having long legs, they do
not require their wings for flight !;
they are merely used to steady their
bodies while running.
Why cannot flesh eating animals
live on vegetables? Because the gas
trio juice Of flesh eating animal, be-
ing adapted to the duty which it has
to perform, will not dissolve vegeta-
BILE matter.
Why are there so many bodily
forms in the animal creation? Be-
cause the different creatures which
God created have different modes Of
life, and the forms of their bodies
will be found to present perfect
adoption to the lives allotted to them.
Why have birds with long legs
short tails? Because the tails of
birds are used to guide them through
the air by steerage. When birds
with long legs take to flight, they
throw their legs behind, and they
then serve the same purpose as tail.
Why have fishes air bladders? Be
cause, as the density of water varies
greatly at different depths, the en-
largement or contraction of the blad
der regulates the relation of the spec
ifc gravity of the body of the fish to
that Of the water in which it moves
Why are woodpeckers' tongues
about three times longer than their
bills? Because, if their bills were
long they would not bore the tree SO
efficiently and when the trees are
bored, and the insects alarmed, they
endeavor to retreat into the hollows
of the wood, but the long, thin tongue
of the woodpecker fixes them on i'll
sharp, horny and draws them in
to the mouth Of the bird.
Why has the elephant short, un
bending neck? Because the elephant
head is 50 heavy that it could not
have been supported at the end of I
long neck, or lever, without provi
sion of immense muscular power

am not sure that the new custom
of making expensive presents is bet
ter than the old one of writing love-
letter, and it certainly is not a proof
Of greater affection in the senders.
A pleasant Improvement might be
made upon both the old and new
customs without sacrificing the obser
vance Of the day. Let the boys ana
girls make their own valentines, du-
ring the long winter evenings. All
the necessary materials may be pur-
chased for twenty FIVE or thirty cents
at stationer's store. Suitable de-
signs are to be found in many books,
and some tinsel, crayons, water-col-
ors, and lace paper would enable
clever young fingers to produce very
pretty things. There might, for in
stance, be simple Grecian border
around sheet Of lace paper, and, in
closed within this, lily, a rose, or
some illuminated verses. Dccalco-
mania would do very well, in case the
valentine-maker could not draw; or,
better still, pressed leaves might be
called to the service. A red autumn
waif or two, carefully dried, and sur
rounded by wreath of ivy, would be
pretty. Or one might make some
thing lovely out of very delicate
grasses, mosses. and lichens, arfang-
ing them at the head of the paper,
leaving space for letter beneath.
This would call for tasteful box-en-
velope. A little care, taste and pa
tience would work wonders with the
simplest materials.
Valentines of this kind would be
more highly prised by sincere friend,
too, than the finest productions Of
the professional valentine-maker. At
the same time, their preparation
would afford you many hours Of
amusement, and exercise in the use
of color and form that would be prof
liable to you in countless ways.-.N.

Judge Ellis, Of the Circuit Court of
Jackson county, Friday, gave a de-
cision of interest TO Iowa liquor deal
ers. The action was brought by Mrs.
Fuller against saloon keeper named
Aborn, for selling liquor to her hus-
band. She had repeatedly forbid
him, Offering to give him every day
money to the amount of liquor con-
sumed by her husband. Aborn, dis
regarding her entreaties, she had him
arrested, and the court awarded her
two thousand dollars damages. As
Aborn has no meaRs, the owner of the
property in which the saloon is loca-
ted was mulcted for the amount. AS
the law is very explicit, any appeal
can but confirm the decision.

The Iowa Reform school.
Iowa CRY, Iowa.
Jan. 9th. 1875.

JdU. SttH, 1000.
Editor Gazette. - AS the Iowa
State Reform School and its manage
ment are matters that ought to deeply
concern every citizen of the State, |
thought | would drop you few con-
ciusions arrived at from observations
made while paying short visit to
the Reform School at Eldora. In the
first place, frankly acknowledge that
my bump of government, if there is
such bump on the Uranium, is not
largely enough developed to take
charge of two hundred boys, nor do |
know that would have any desire so
to do if it were. | have one, and |
find enough to govern him, let alone
taking charge of two hundred, each
one Of whom, by his conduct, has
proved beyond parental rule at home.
Among the boys ! observed great
many bright looking, intelligent lads,
who the influences OF the Reform
School may yet make good men and
shining ornaments in society.
These boys are all warmly clad,
and well shod, and, from their APP
pearance, should say that they are
taught what is considered next to
godiiness-cleanliness. Their food,
of which | tasted, though not as de-
licious as great many mi ght wish
for, is good and well cooked and APP
parently there was plenty of it. Their
beds are good and we'll covered, but
If the legislature would make an ap
preparation 10 pat in heating appara-
tus so that the chill could be taken
from the dormitorIes before the time
for going to bed it would do a good
thing.
The buildings are too small, or per-
haps should say, there are not
enough of them. In fact they are
crowded now, and this being the case
what must be their condition before
additional buildings can be erected.
supposing the legislature should make
an appropriation for this purpose next
winter.
The farm contains little over half
a section of as fine land as can be
found in Iowa, and is beautifully To-
Gated, about one mile from the flour
ishing town of Eldora, the county
seat of Hardin county. The institu
tion has some very fine stock iii the
shape of cows and hogs. It raises its
own beef and pork, and forty acres Of
the farm, devoted TO garden purposes,
supply it with vegetables. My opin-
ion is, if the State would act literally
with the Reform School, and give il
the care it ought to receive, in very
few years It could be made entirely
self-supporting. The management
seemed to be all that could be desir-
ed, and the task of keeping two hun
dred boys under discipline SO that
order and good conduct prevails
throughout the entire institution. is

There is no use holding any more
Senatorial elections. All the tardy
State Legislatures may as well ad-
journ. The United States Senate 10
nov provided for. Its constitutional
limits are now filled. Andy Johnson,
who has held every responsible posi-
tion within the gift Of the people, is
orce more to put in an apr saranse
upon the political arena.
We say political arena" Lec suse
that sounds like constitutional
phrase. although we don't know ex-
ac,ly what it means. But Andy does.
He has all those elements of states
manship that enable him to smother
his antagonist in a war of words.
He is, then, once more to appear
upon the political arena at Washing
ton and make things cheerful for
everybody, both Republicans and
Democrats. Born in 1908, Andrew
Johnson has managed to stay borned
ever since. He has more eyes than
Argus ever had, and they are oil cap
itals. They appear is his speeches.
He was born tailor, and is so fond
proclaiming himself selma le-mal
that he is generally held as an acces-
sory to the act of his birth. He learn
ed to read in 1918. and the day he
borrowed a book to begin his study
is still observed as day Of fasting and
humiliation in Tennessee. He was
not success as tailor. No living
man could tell which side of his
trousers was the front. And Andy
has always been just like the trosf9-
ers he used to make. In 1898 ~
was elected Alderman Of Greenvil1e;
in 1880 he was chosen Mayor Of the
same village; in 1885 he was elected
to the State Legislature; in 1910 he
was Presidential elector; in 184l
he was made State Senator; in 16-
43 he went to Congress; in 1857 he
was elected United States Senator,
and in 1864 he was assassinated into
the Presidency Of the United States,
and during his career - Chief Mag
istrate of the Republic he scolded
like fsh-wife, snarIed and quarreled
and called names, and threw stones
with mobs and rabble and riff-raf in
every city he visited, making such
spectacle of himself - ought to have
sent him into mortified retirement
and penance all the rest of his life,
but it didn't. The same year in which
he retired from the White House, be
was . candidate for the United States
Senate, and was defeated. And be
has been q chronic candidate ever
since. And he always will be can
didate for something Is long - b
lives. And when be thinks he Is go
ing to die, he will run for coroner.

who had been accustomed to enter
