A Gall Bird.

Old Man Franklin, father of the poat-
wagon mendicant, has a novel way OF
making living He was passing down

This is my call bird; he is not for
sale, responded the old man.
What do you do with himP" queried
the scribe.
"He calls up the other birds and
catch them in this trap was the re-
spouse 'Didyou never see trap like
this?' asked the old man.
The reporter confessed that he had
never beheld such an affair, aud the old
man got down on his knees on the side
walk, and set the trap. The trap COLI
sisted OF wire cage, about half as large
as a candle-box, and slantng TO point
at the top like the roof Of house. On
each side was a wing made of network,
and attached to the lower sides of the
cage by little hinges and operated by
stout springs These wings were passed
out, and a trigger was set to bold them
In position, The young bird was put
inside of the cage 10 scream and act as
caller. The idea was to let the young
bird call the old one. As soon as an
old one would fly down to the cage and
light on the trigger, the wing would fly
over and secure it.
ut never fails, remarked the old man
as he sprung the trigger, and the wing
closed against the side Of the cage with
a crash.

the reporter.
II caught over forty knocking birds

The old man is about blind, and goes
into the woods and fields picking his
way along until he hears the siivery
song of the hooking bird. Then he sets
his trap and stays around until he hears
the wings of the trap spring together.
Sometimes he spends hall day around

The Education Of Girls.


A little paper called GIRL Life, just

that with the new and freer ideas now

tic arts SO much better than the too
early friyolity and freedom so many
girls enjoy now, The little daughter
sent ME by my dying sister has given
me renewed interest in the education
of girls and fresh anxiety concerning
the sort OF society she is to enter by and
by. Health comes first and early
knowledge Of truth, obedience and self
control. Then such necessary lessons
as all must learn, and later such ac-

THE TERTIO-MILLENNIAL
CHEAP EXCURSION RATES EVERY DAY DUR =
ING THE SUMMER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO

CHEAP EXCURSION RATES EVERY DAY DUR
ING THE SUMMER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest city
in :he United States. 1t has reached the
end of its first third of thousand years
its tertio-millenlal period. The Tertio. Mil
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the I'd of July and close on the Sd
of August, will be an event of great hlsto-
rica as well as practical importance to the
country at large, 1t is intended to COM
memorate the three hundred and thirty
third anniversary of the Spanish settlement
OF the place.
THE EXPOSITION,
Which will constitute the practical part of
the celebration, will be an epitome of the
mineral agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
bilities of the Territory Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock raising will have good op-
portunity to visit New Mexico this season,
Ms the low fare will be great inducement
to make the trip. The development of the
mines OF this vast region has but begun
yet in the past year the proportlonate in.
crease in the output of ore was greater than
in any other State OF Territory. New Mex.
ico's showing at the mining exposition held
at Denver last season showed, more clearly
than anything else, the vastness of its min
era wealth.
1t has been the general belief heretofore
that agriculture in New Mexico would not
pay This is an unfortunate error. At the
exposition will be seen samples of all sorts
of fruits and field products which vie with
those of prolific Kansas. With irrigation
the soil of the Territory can be made to
yield immensely, and there is no pursuit
more remunerative than that of farming.
Agricultural products, of all kinds, bring
nigh prices upon ready market, always
accessible in the growing mining towns,
and the cost of raising is comparatively
small. AS cattle and sheep country, too,
New Mexico cannot be surpassed. Her
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. As the cele-
bration at Santa Fe will be the means Of
drawing larger number of people into tho
Territory than usual, owing to the cheap
fare, an opportunity will be offered those
who may be interested 10 stock-raising
to investigate.
THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical, the Tertio. NJ ilenial
will embrace many features the most novel
and romantic. For instance. three days.

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of a
silver case was made Of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount OF cutting and soldering. which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece Of metal hammered into
shape The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering soAens 1t.
