APPETITEs OF BIRDS.
A Theory That Much Feeding May BE q
Cause OF Long Living.

A Theory That Much Feeding May he .
Cause OF Long Living.
A German ornithologist has been look
ing into the subject of birds ages re-
Gently. The swan, he concludes, is the
longest lived of all birds. The oldest
swan of which there is record lived 800
years. Many falcons are known to have
lived 16a years. The vulture and the
eagle are also very long lived
In 1919 an osprey died which had been
caught in Ills, at which time it was full
grown and probably five or six years old.
A white-headed vulture caught in 1706
died in the bird-house of the imperial
pleasure palace at Schonbrunn, near Vi
emma, in 1924.
Parrots often live century after they
have been captured and tanned. Sea and
swamp birds usually live several gener-
atoms. Geese. il left to themselves,
and cuckoOs also reach very old age.
Ravens rarely die under 100 years Of
age Magpies seldom pass more than
twenty or twenty-five years in confine-
ment When free they live forty or fifty
years.
The barn-yard rooster in good luck is
generally healthy and strong till he has
passed his fifteenth year. Pigeons are
good for ten years; singing birds for
eight to eighteen years. Nightingales
in captivity live about ten years; black
birds about fifteen years; canaries, in
captivity, twelve to fifteen years; al
though on the islands where they origi-
mated they often live twenty-five or
thirty years.
JUST why birds get so much more OF
life than men is something that nobody
knows One reason often given is that
they eat so much. A birds appetite Is
tremendous. A thrush puts down with
one swallow the biggest snail. To per-
form corresponding feat man would
have to take whole leg Of beef at bite.
A robin Fedbreast is also a terrible
eater. 1t has been calculated that q
mass Of food equivalent TO an angle
worm fourteen feet long Is required daily
to keep robin in good condition.-N.

why 1t Should Bo Worn In Summer ~
Well ~ In winter.
Without going so far as to say that
every article Of mans apparel ought
to be wooden, it is an undisputed fact
that this material is tho best suited for
underclothing, either in winter or sum-
mer. And the reasons are not far to
seek. Neither linen or cotton is capable
Of protecting the body from external
heat in the summer. nor Of conserving
the warmth Of the body in winter, be-
cause, being good conductors Of heat,
they allow 1t to permeate. Wool, on the
other hand, Is non-conductor; and
there is little doubt that the death rate
in this country would be greatly re-
duced, and the wards Of the hospitals
for diseases Of the chest less crowded,
were wooden garments to be worn by
young and old.
But to parody the words Of an ancient
advertisement, when we ask for wool we
should see that we get it. Two kinds
Of articles will be placed on the counter
before the intending purchaser cheap
and dear. The latter, however, will
be the cheaper in the long run, for ten
to one the former is well-put-together
mixture of cotton and wool. 1t is easy
to show any one how to tell such MKT
ure at glance almost but difficult to
describe on paper, so the novice in this
matter should take some one with him,
or her, when going to shop, and should
pay fair price and deal only with re-
spectacle tradesmen.
Beware Of. wearing dyed hannels next
to the skin. l know there is great
run on red, but this color is just as like
ly to contain poisonous matter as any
other. Silk for the undergarments Of
men with tender skins has much to
recommend it, though it takes but SEQ
ond place to wool. Then in point
of cold-resisting qualities, comes merino.
This may be worn next the skin by men
wearing the time-honored linen shirt.
The undervest or semmet must not be
of dyed material.
Another thing may be said in favor Of
wooden underclothing- keeps up the
healthfui action of the skin far better
that any other material can.-Cassell's
Family Magazine.

HE THINKS HE'S THINKING.


You know him we'll. you've seen him oft;
The man who holds his head aloft
Ald keeps his eyelids winking;
lie meets with little sympathy.
This man who would thinker be-
This Ounce who thinks he's thinking.
He 10 his friends has naught to say
Tho while he strolls along Broadway,
From them he's always shrinking;
He knows them, yet he sees them not,
Right past them he will brisklv trot,
This wretch who thinks he's thinking.
Each morning for an hour he'll stand
With platc-glass mirror In his hand,
INDUCING in much prinking;
For, though his friends he fails 70 see,
Upon himself he'll gaze with glee,
This ass who thinks he's thinking
Sometimes he'll ut the corner wait
AS II deciding nations fate,
Outlandish ideas linking
Together, all devoid Of sense,
For common mortals too intense.
This fool who thinks he's thinking.
The while he IN the street car sits,
His bullying brows he tightly knits,
And keeps his orbs a-blinking;
His stupid Chances upward aim,
He holds himself child OF Fame.
This dolt who thinks he's thinking.
I've watched him sitting ut his lunch;
And. while his sandwich he doth MUNICH,
His glass Of cider drinking,
He stares around with vacant gaze,
AS II recalling distant days,
This fraud who thinks he's thinking.
But, IL he Ger falls overheard,
And straight rope 70 him Is lowered,
TO rescue him from sinking.
You'll see him seize 1t every time.
And 20 the deck he'll quickly climb,
For now he's really thinking.

money into the treasury; and many that
were rich cast in much. And there came
a certain poor widow, and she threw in
two mites, which make farthing. And

saith unto them: Verify say unto you,
that this poor widow hath cast more in

1854:
''In the midst of n sharp cavalry en-
Uagement with Sheridan's men i'm a charge
near Bt.rryville thers, came riding into our
line like n whirlwind a Yankee soldier on
a black horse. A score of men tried to
stop horse and rider, but the old
blacks blood was mp, and he went
ON clean through our lines before he was
under control. The rider was sent to
Libby prison, and we mustered the black
charger into the confederate service. A
few days later we charged some OF GUS
ter's men. and that old horse was ridden
into the engagement by one of our sol
diers. The old black evened up things,
too. for he carried his rider into tire fed
erat lines and never came back

to the excellence of that beverage. The
sales during the holidays have been enor-

THE PRESIDENTS COURT.
Pensscolians Wondrin If the Regu-
lar Jury List Will be Used.

~ II EL6 h6Ru-
lar Jury List Will be Used.
PENSACOLA, FLA, Jan. 1S.-Apropos of
the emphatic protest which has gone forth
from the Democratic party of Florida on
the arbitrary methods Of selecting jurors
Tor the federal court Of this district at
Jacksonville, the following will prove Of
interest. Some years ago in Pensacola two
jury commissioners, one a democrat the
other republican, as prescribed by the
law, selected from the registration lists of
the district 900 names, the posseSsors of
winch were to serve as petit jurors as coca
sion demanded. Three hundred were demo-
Gratis and 300 republicans.
These names were placed in a box. and
up TO date there have been drawn there
from 2l9, the parties named having duly
served as drawn. After every drawing
the box was locked and sealed with the
sign manual of the justice, aud thereafter
opened only in open court, the judge hav-
ing examined the seal to see that it had re-
manned intact in the meantime. The KEY
Is kept by the local deputy clerk. There
are now In the box 3Sl more names, which
should he drawn upon the March term to
be held In this city
The box was last sealed by Judge II. T.
Iaulmln OF the Southern Alabama district,
who Is democrat and an appointee of
Cleveland. Postmaster Humphreys of this
city, late clerk of tho court at this point,
holds the key, and he says he will only turn
the instrument over to his successor in open
court. Whether these facts viii deter the
marshal from an attempt to secure a Jury
of only tried and true republicans" as he
succeeded in doing at Jacksonville, remains
to be seen.
There are fears felt here by the demo-
Gratis that the list now in the box may be
set aside in the issue of a special venire, the
fear being based on the well known
arbitrary ruling Of Judge Swayne, who,
during the present session at jacksonville,
refused to admit in evidsnce a letter written
by Marshal Mizell TO deputy, instructing
the latter in sending in the jury list to send
the names of none but tried and true re-
pubhcans.n
