The National President received from Hughes

rendered a reception at the home of her uncle, DIR,
Rus1, which was a success in every respect. The
speeches made by the members of Hughes Post,
officers of Relief Corps and visitors from Zanes-

spring in their tone, lofty in thought that she
can but start out with enthusiasm for the cause and
feel that the noblest women Of our land are with
her in this work.

Navigation of the Air.

Among the securities to be dealt in for
the Consolidated Stock Exchange of New
York are those Of the National Aerial
Navigation company. a corporation Is
actually in existence, with large CAPT
tai, whose aim is to test the various in
ventions designed TO give man as COM
plete control Of the air as he now has OF
the water and the earth, in carrying him
from point to point on the surface Of the
globe. One good may result from the
war in Europe. It is known that there
is a French bureau which has made sue
cessfuI experiments in air navigation.
Captive balloons proved useful in the last
European war. Observations from them
gave some idea Of the movements Of the
enemy's various corps d armee. a navi-
gable balloon or aerostat, under some sort
Of control, would be of the utmost value,
as, moving from point to point, it could
discern and inform the general command
ing what the enemy's designs were. 1t
IS known that Capt. Ranard and others
have been able to navigate the air when
there was not much wind blowing. But
the full results Of the experiments have
been well kept military secret. I'm
dOubtedly, war in Europe would develop
all that has been done In aerial naviga-
ton. But why wait for war.-Demor-
est's Monthly.

The ..subIi1ne Porte,

The building Of the porte, called sub
lime, Is. or was. d kind Of long. low
barracks, without style and without
beauty. y fire destroyed part Of 1T some
years ago.
The phrase ''sUbline porte" Is applied
% both the building and the admini5tra-
ton. two things that are important, but
neither the one nor the other Is sublime.
This word has, however, a very ancient
origin. When the Turks, long before
the conquest, were only hOTdes of Tar
tars and nOmads. their chiefs or sultans
were IN the habit Of dispensing justice at
the door Of their tent. There the cadis
assembled and heard the complaint and
then the defense. The sultan appeared
upon the spot only at the cOnciuson of
the trial to get the opinions OF the judges
and to render bis decision. To go to the
porte was for the Turks the equivalent of
seeking justice at the hands Of the sultan
and his cOunselOrs.
As to the pompous epithet sublime
coupled with this poor porte, it is one Of
those Oriental speeches that the fattery
of the weak has bestowed voluntarily
upon the tyranny Of the strong. The
Turkish language aboUnds in these quail
fcatiges- highness. excellence, divine.
celestial, sublime-which IN our dav and
III the west offend the dignity of those
that receive them and Of those that
bestOw them. but which one in the east
can freely bestOw upon high personages
without laughing or making them laugh.

Catching Bird. with Fishing Nets.

This is the season for the red breasted
robin, as tOOthsome as he is pretty.
Abundant as these birds are In the up
county, they are nothing compared with
the number of those on the coast. In
the morning and evening they fly up and
down the ''b2pks' in gangs of millions.
The strips of Beach are narrow, and it Is
always easy to know just where the birds
fly, since they pursue a certain route.
SO the fishermen-this being dull sea-
son-employ their seines in catching birds.
They set the seines between tall poles on
the beach and catch thousands Of robins
In a morning or afternoon. At one
flight a man caught over 1000. He
put away half for food for his family and
shipped the others. On Bogue bank,
with small net, Mr.. Rose caught 500
robins. The birds fly quite low, and do
not observe the net at all. The people
who have set the nets are always con-
scealed near by Raleigh Cor. Richmond

A Rare and Interestinc Bird.

The devil hawk of Arizona is rare
bird, and an interesting one. He is de
scribed as having remarkably handsome
plumage but very ugly head. His
taIons are long and strong, and his beak
l. almost as sharp as a needle and very
powerful, The bird, but for his head,
when on the wing would pass for
pigeon. When seeking his prey he plays
pigeon, and flies in among them I'M
noticed on account of his similarity and
easily captures what he wants. He is
the picture Of grace and beauty and
speed. 1t is estimated that there are not
more than dozen Of them in the terri
tory. The Mexicans are superstitious
about him, and regard his appearance as
an evil omen.-New York sun.

Opium in the Cigarette.

Capt. John McCullagh, of the sixth
precinct, is an expert on all that pertains
to opium smoking. He has broken up more
joints than most New Workers would sup
pose ever existed. He can tell an opium
smoker by looking at him, but he con-
fesses that he is sometimes deceived by
the resemblance between the pipe hitters
and the cigarette smokers. Cigarette
smokers are so like opium smokers, . he
says, THAT they have even the peculiar
odor of the pipe hitters. They also have
the same dry and rudy cheeks. the same
parched lips, and the same habit of con-
stantly wetting their lips with their
tongues" The captain thinks there must
be great deal of opium in cigarettes
