the road long strip of cotton cloth,

him was excellently adapted for
purposes of nest building. Confidently,
then, he seized one end of it in his beak,
and flew away with it. Soon, however,
the wind blew the long streamer about
his wings, and brought him tumbling
into the dust. He picked himself up,
shook himself, and, seizing the rag by
the other end, made second attempt,
which resulted as disastrously as the
first Then he seized the strip by the
middle, but this time he was entangled
more quickly than before, and brought
TO earth before he had risen to the
height of n yard. He then squatted

Presently his appearance changed; an

How to Take Ioe.
.,.nsse Ho
Iced drinks should never be taken

Iced drinks should never be taken at
odd times, when no food Is eaten at the
same time. The dauphin, son Of Fran.
cis l., is believed TO have died from
taking glass OF iced water in this way,
and several other terrible examples are
cited which, we fear, are little known or
remembered just now. Another grand
problem is whether wine should be iced
before being uncorked or mixed with ice
after 1t is poured into the glass. We all
know how opinions differ on this point
among the unlearned public; but the
doctors clear up the difficulty In single
phrase. When the bottle is iced the
temperature Of the drink is lowered to
the same level; whereas, when ice is
added by fits and starts to glass, 1t
varies greatly from time to time. Now,
it Is far less trying to the digestive Or
gans to take drink OF uniform than Of
a varying temperature, and therefore
the wise man will have his bottles iced,
and abjure the tempting knobs offered
for immersion in his champagne glass.
Finally, the eating Of ice creams should
also accompany or Immediately follow a
meal, and be washed down, il possible,
by q glass Of liquor, which will correct
the acidity noticeable in many Of them,
and also obviate the biliousness Of the
sweeter compounds. -L0ndon Globe.
