Mr.. Blaine,s "StanWood.O

Bar Harbor was the creation of day.
However jealousy those fortunate people
who first became aware of the beauty and
attractiveness of the Maine island guarded
their secret in their selfishness it leaked
out. The secret once out Bar Harbor was
invaded, and in short time the splendid
slope of the wooded hills before the pictur-
esque harbor bore upon it's face summer
town of beautiful houses, called cottages
by courtesy, in reality superb villas. There
is perhaps no cottage" in Bar Harbor bet
ter known for its beauty and delightful
situation, independent of the prominence
of its owner, than that of Mr.. Blaine.
And there is an interesting little story
connected with the naming of Mr. Baine's
place. You might see across the front por-
tico, traced in old deity worked lettering,
SO skillfully done that the word would
not catch your eye did you not know it was
there, "Stanwood." When the cottage was
building, and Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine were
wondering what name it should bear, it
was discovered upon further examina-
ton of titles and deeds of the place that
the property was part of what many years
ago was an estate in that part of Maine
owned by Mrs. Blaine's family, the Stan
woods. That settled the question of a
name. So this, the most beautiful part of
the old Stanwood estate, quite unknown to
Mrs Blaine, came back to her family

voRAcITY OF YOUNG BIRDS.
Two Nestlings That Consumed Snake
For Single Meal.

For a Single Meal.
A friend who loves to note the WAYS of
birds tells robin anecdote which might
find a place among the humors of Arcadia.
Over a nest of two fedglings which he
had for some days been watching he one
day noticed the mother robin fiuttering
about and scolding in unusual agitation,
and climbing to discover the reason he
found the two young ones nearly choked
in an effort to swallow the opposite ends
of snake The snake was little brown
one, that would have made light lunch
for secretary bird, but of course was en-
tirely diversified for the capabilities of the
half feathered robin. If the mother bird
had even heard about the reptilia of the
antipodes she must have captured that
snake under the impression that it was an
Australian angleworm. Or perhaps tired
of continual small foragings, she had de-
termined to procure her family days
supply at one swoop and give herself rest.
The result alarmed her when she found
that her chicks were in a fair way to kill
themselves deglutinating their dinner.
The first impulse was to relieve the
struggling nestlings, but on close inspec-
ton he satisfied himself that their predica-
ment was more droll than dangerous. The
snake had evidently lost all interest in the
proceedings, but the little birds had not.
First one would give a mighty gulp and
then the other, each time putting out of
sight small section of serpent, and the
watcher concluded that if let alone they
would meet half way by and by and settle
their disputed meal themselves. At any
rate curiosity got the better of any desire
to help them. For full hour he looked
on to see the resolute little gluttons pull
themselves outside of that snake, the old
robin returning every few minutes to offer
some excited remarks, and then he was
called away.
After two hours he got back to the tree,
and found one of the young ones doing
TRANQUILITY over his finished dinner, and the
other holding about an inch of detached
snake and still swallowing. The two had
compromised matters somehow, but
whether the last swallower or the first
got the bigger share in the division he
could not tell, for examination of the sew
cred reptile indicated that the missing end
had been digested off. The amazing peptic
power int young bird, enabling it to dis
pose of several times it's own weight of
food in day, is well enough known; but
the idea of digesting one end of a single
meal five times as long as the eaters body
was so ludicrous that the listener vent
ured to guess that the old bird herself had
finally pecked the snake in two. The friend,
however, insisted on his view of the case
Instead of biting off more than they could
chew, these redbreast babies had actually
chewed more than they could bite Off
1t should be added that the remaining
inch of SNAKE was successfully slowed
away at last and assimilated into juvenile
robin, neither of the little birds being at
all the worse for it's huge repast.-Boston

The Brush Brigade.

Not long ago, says writer in Wide
Awake, heard mother tell her boys that
intimate and constant acquaintance with
brushes went great way toward making
a gentleman The remark struck me, and
I asked how many brushes one needed tc
be familiar with.
Tell her, boys" said their mother, and
the merry fellows shouted:
One to brush our hair we need
And one to polish our boots,
One to clean our nails indeed,
And one to dust our SUITS
And one to give our hats switching,
To make us all look very bewitching,
And that's the song of the brush brigade

Genius Should Be Recognized.

1t is ungenerous to withhold an express
sion of sympathy for those who have failed
in the accomplishment of great under
takings in which they have embarked all
their pecuniary, physical and intellectual
resources. AS a general rule people are
hardly considerable enough toward the I'M
successful. There is too great DISPOSE
ton to forget their pluck and perseverance
and sneer at their trustfulness. We ought
to bear in mind that it is this sublime au-
dacity of faith to which we are indebted
for the marvellous achievements of our age

Having Faith.

The confidence some families have in a
doctor was well illustrated in a recent case
in Philadelphia. The family physician
made call, detected sewer gas, and the
owner of the house ripped out his station

find that the smell came from dead rat,
which could have been hauled out of its
hiding place in ten seconds.-Detroit Free

Poetry Plat Pays.

If you intend following literature as a
livelihood, and can write prose with the
same ease as poetry, by all means follow
prose. Except where an author has world
wide renown or has a peculiar style of
verse. as Will Carleton and j. Whitcomb
Riley, poetry is very poor bread earning
product, although it is delightful and
elevating recreation if it can be followed
as such in connection with some other
work or business.-Ladies' Home Journal.
