The pelican is funny looking bird.
His wings are very strong, and under his
lower bill he carries queer kind of
pouch, which he finds very useful when
he goes on fishing excursion. His up
per bill is provided with strong hook.
and this is all the fishing tackle he re-
quires, and there is no necessity of his
carrying any bait, He generally catches
enough fish at one haul to last him for
some time, and the supply is as handy as
if he had market in the house.

fishes laugh uproarously to have seen
the pelican take bath in the pool pro.

Such dirty bird as he was. You
wouldn't imagine he had taken a bath
for month at least.
One bright October day the pelican
made up his mind that what he needed
most was good washing, so he waddled
along to the bath-tub provided for him,
and padded and splashed until he was
thoroughly wet. and there was almost a,
much water outside the tank as there
was inside.
When you come ont of the bath, you
generally fly fora towel. So did the pcli-
can. The air was his towel and he flew
around at such rate, with his wings cx
tended, that all the other birds got out
of his way as soon as possible.
Then you would have laughed to have
seen him dress himself, all the while keep.

tiny feather might dry, as our clothes

Still Is 1t Night.

Still is it night
The thought which moved my heart but now
hath gone,
But with the light
It must return-I will await the dawn.
'Tis winter still;
The world is cold as yet; so late the snow
Lies on the hill,
The footsteps of the waking hours so slow.
Yet one may hear
The soundlesS music of the frozen stream
By bending near;
Thus joy is mingled in this sorrows dream.
Shall repinel
At all times-somewhere on this turning
earth
The sun doth shine;
The death of hope must be the new hope:

If then the shade
Must ever fall where / shall chance to be,

Still shall | climb,
Even though the stars shine not on my SHARP
way;
Sometime--som

Hath closed the path, yet my last step shall be

A Brazilian Swell.

Brazilian titles are not hereditary but
for three generations the descendants Of
noblemen are entitled to the appellation
of ''mosa tidalgo,' or ''young gentle
man," and enjoy the rights and priv-
lcgcs Of their noble progcnitors. These
privileges consist mainly of being allowed
by law to ''put on more style" than or
dinary individuals If a "mosa fdalgo"
wants to enter the army he can do so as
cadet, and is entitled to wear star on
his coat sleeve. When he goes to the
palace he can wear his hat until he comes
into the presence Of the Emperor, and
while ordinary officers have to hitch up
their swords before entering the Imperial
portals, he can 90 in with his weapon
jangling and humping along the marble
floors. This privilege of wearing
hat in the house and
making racket in the Emperor's
presence is highly priced by the youth of
Brazil. Then, too, 'mosa tidalgo"
cannot be arrested except by special
warrant from some high official--I have
forgotten which onc-and when he goes
on a "racket" and breaks street lamps
and windows. the police cannot arrest him
and the police justice does not give him
lecture with his fine the next morning.
Instead of that he is arrested with solemn
pomp and long warrant, and is confined
in the " Place of Honor in the prison.
When ''mosa tidalgo" leaves the coun-
try he goes to the palace and says good
bye" to the Emperor, and that monarch,
awfully bored, graciously permits him to
purchase ticket by the first steamer,
But in order to enjoy all these great priv
ilcgcs one must not only be "mosa f.
dalgo' but must take out II patent as
such. Then he can have the title printed
on his visiting cards and is recognized

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.


Inhammations are more sifely and far

be forwarded to the heart, and faster
than it can be purified by the more in

Water cannot satisfy the thirst which
attends cholera, dysentery, diarrh9a and

drinking cold water seems to increase the

Origin and Use Of Neckties.

The very word cravat derived from
the Croats, regiment OF whom, all era
waited, arrived in Paris in 1900 has been
nearly lost. We no longer wrap up our
throats in thirty-two ways, which could
be taught in sixteen lessons. Cravats,
even in Paris, disappeared before the
revolution, when citizens named Brutus
or Timheon wore their free nccks bare,
which, also, was convenient when it came
to being guillotincd. But, as the terror
went out, crayats came in, and mounted
as high as the human cars, while they
ovcrlapped the exquisite chin In this
reaction the fashionable neck could not
be turned round, but Gen, Lassalle's life
wa saved by his cravat, which stopped a
pistol bullet. In 1915 the English had
their so-callcd victories" printed on
kerchiofs, which they wore round their
vainglorious necks even in Paris. Napo-
leon changed his luck, and lost Waterloo,
by wearing white cravat in place of the
black necktie twice rounD which
adorned his person at Lodi, Marengo,
Austcrlitz, Wagram, and other successful
encounters. The most illustrious way of
tying the cravat was in "thc Gordian
knot" much like that still worn by pco.
pie who wear pins. There were also the
Irish, the sentimental (as in modern even
ing dress, the American, the Oriental
0ike a turban), and the mathematical
knot, which dcfcs description. The
"Ball" knot was not knot, but a sim
pier arrangement, fixed by pins to the
braces or fastened to the shirt. No one
under 40 wore the ''gastronomic" cravat,
which "unties of itself in case of apo
plexy"-a most valuable arrangement.
The knot Colin is still worn by French
men, the hunting knot" is like Il cork
screw, the Italian is run through ring.
No one who respected himself could trav'
el with less than eighty cravats and an
iron for smoothing them with. Such

atons of the cravat under the happy

nTold a Lie with His Finger,

A little boy, for trick, pointed his
finger to the wrong road when man
asked him which way the doctor went.
As result, the man missed the doctor,
and his little boy died because the doctor
came too late to take fish bone from his
throat. At the funeral the minister said
that the little boy was killed by a lie
which another boy told with his finger.
suppose that boy did not know the
mischief he did. OF course, nobody
thinks he meant to kill little boy when
he pointed the wrong way, He only
wanted to have a little fun. But it was
fun that cost somebody great deal; and
if he ever heard the result Of it, he must
have felt guilty of doing mean and
wicked thing, We ought never to trifo
with the truth. -ChidrenS Friend.
