Migration of Birds.
Exchange.

There arc rules of the road which the
feathered tribes obey; some travel by
night some by day. and the latter, as a
rule, are said to seek safety in their num-
bers and the rapidity of their flight.
Rocks and jackdaws have curious habit
of varying the height at which they fly.
They generally press forward on their
journey at a great elevation, till, sud
denly, some among their number drop
down several hundred feet with closed
wings, when others follow suit, till pres
emily the whole company has changed its
level. and is pressing on at only 100 feet
from the ground
The f1ocks of migrating birds are
usually irregular in shape, with open
spaces between several patches Swallows
catch insects as they go, and pilot bird
usually precedes them. Among all the
migrants the fight of storks affords the
most beautiful spectacle. owing to their
extraordinary powers of wing and to the
gambols and aerial ballets which they
practice while still advancing rapidly witt.

Practical, Day-Working TOilers Who Stand
High in Scientific Specialties.
Scientific Americana
A recent notice of mechanic in Mas
sachusetts who is an expert in that depart
ment of natural history of which the but
terty is the chief representative, suggests
other and similar instances. 1t may be
that the exactness required In mechanical
work develops taste for close study, or
it may be that natural history and pure
science become pleasant tolls to the mon
otony of mechanical work. but it is the
fact that some practical, day-working
mechanics stand high in some scientific
specialties.
There is machinest-a fine tool maker
who is well known, and widely known,
as an amateur astronomer. He has con-
tributed Importantly to the science, and is
not surpassed in nicely and preciseness in
designing astronomical mechanism
Another is an expert steel engraver by
choice and as a pastime. and yet, incredi-
bic as 1t may appear, he is smith Or
forger, handling steel and iron in bars and
the heavy hammer of the blacksmith all
day, and doing delicate steel engraving at
night or on "off hours. He has nearly
finished designing and engraving series
of plates representing the childish legend
of the death of Cock Robin, the proofs
of which are really fine.

A pretty young mamma, with a little girl
by her side nearly as pretty as herself,
was being entertained by male stranger,
who had struck up an acquaintance
through the usual and always convenient
mediumship of the little girl The
stranger did all the talking. He was one
of these men who think they know every
thing, but only rarely get a good chance
to tell it. The lady answered only in
monosyllables. The little girl listened
patiently and demurely for time. and
then began to fidget around in her seat.
Finally, as the stranger stopped for breath,
she said:
Mamma, you've found one, amt you?"
what, my dear?"
why, don't you remember what you
told papa when he said you'd be lonesome

Antiquity of Arizona.
iCor. Portland Transcript.

Many regard the southwest as new
country and look for new things when
visiting the far southwestern lands But
in reality the territory teemed with an
active population, versed in science, in
the art of government, in the knowledge
of manufacturing centuries before Milton
and Shakespeare and Cervantes and Co
lumbus were born. 1t is possible, indeed,
and quite probable that Arizona was a
progressive and populus region when
Noah built his ark, when the battle of
Thermopoly9 was fought. when Homer
wrote his. epics. In fact, it is an old
country, rich with history that may
never be known, sacked and pillaged,
neglected and forgotten during the years
in which the east grew up.

Foreigners Res uIts'
Utica Observer
The immigrant train on the Central
this morning was have an hour late, and
consisted of one solitary car, in which
were forty-seven passengers. Come with
me and take walk through the immi-
grant car; would like to show you the
difference between foreign and domestic
teeth" The speaker, addressing the re-
porter, was an old and we'll known dental
surgeon of this city. Il have come down
here for the express purpose of noting for
myself the teeth of our newly arrived
cousins, " said the dentist as he led the
way to the train, which was just pulling
into the yard
In the car were Germans, English,
Swedes, two Danes, and four Polish Jews.
"Look at that fellow in the third seat
there getting away with that bacon; see
those beautiful grinders, said the knight
of the forceps as he intentiy watched
sturdy German who, with huge jack
knife, was cutting alternate slices OF
schwarz- brod and bacon which he was
putting under his vest with marvellous
rapidity. His teeth were indeed magniti-
cent specimens of sound grinders, milky
white, evenly grown and regularly set
Passing two seats further on were
mother and two children. The woman
was English, and. when spoken to, dis
played very beautiful worries. In answer
to question of the dentist as to whether
she had ever had any trouble with her
teeth she laughed and said: No, don't
know what toothache is. " Behind her
was group of several persons chatting
together and while talking they all dis
played perfect teeth.
How do you account for these people
having such handsome teeth?" was asked
of the dentist. After speaking Of the
difference between the thick and musty
Odor within the car and pure ozone out
side, be said: The whole difference is in
the food that is eaten. These people at
home were wont to eat the coarsest kind
of food; they never touch sweetmeats or
delicacies of any kind, and consequently
the acids which are in all fancy tidbits do
not touch their teeth Therefore, decayed
teeth are something utterly unknown to
them. have not the least doubt that
some of these people never saw tooth
brush They don't think of their teeth at
all, and yet they look as pearly and round
as if dentist examined them every day.

The Camera at the Polls.

When there is much probability of re-
peaters getting in their peculiar work, l
would suggest that arrangements be
made to have camera and a good operator
at the polls to take lightning picture of
any suspected voter. 1t would have the
effect of making some of the toughs
rather slow to expose themselves to such
an evidence for identification If it after
wards appeared that there were two pic
lures of the same man it would be suffi-
cient evidence for conviction.
