An Odd Bird that Likes Fishing.

Away up on the mountains, near
Tacoma, Washington, where the numer-
GUS streams find their way through deep,
dark canyons down to the pulse-beat of
old ocean, is the natural summer home of
the water ousel, the strangest of all
strange birds. You seldom see more than
one of them at time. They are of a
dark blue color, and are easily recog-
nizeed by peculiar quick, jerking mo-
ton, which they never seem to tire of.
And as they fit from rock to rock they
are continually bobbing up and down,
performing such polite little courtesy
as would cause you to smile to see it.
Owing to their peculiar habits and the
isolated spots they select to build their
nests, no one but the most ardent sports
men and naturalists succeed in finding
them. Hence a water ousels nest with
two or three eggs in it has a commercial
value among pest collectors of $25. They
always build their nests just back of some
waterfall or under some overhanging
bank, where they have to go through or
under the water to get to it.
Another strange habit of this bird is
the deliberate manner in which they ap-
pear to commit suicide. They will start
slowly, very slowly, to wade right down
into the water until they disappear from
view, but if the water is clear and you
have sharp eye you can see the little
dark forms clinging to the bottom in
search of their morning repast, which
consists of periwinkles. = Commercial
Aaoertiser.

Revolution in Naval Construction.

Sir Henry de Burgh- h-Lawson thinks that
he will revolutionize naval construction
by his plan for constructing ships with
three keels, between which their bottoms
are curved in combination with special
internal propellers worked and housed
in chambers from which the water is par
TALLY excluded, each propeller having a
a separate set of machinery, working in
dependently of each other. Sir Henry
claims that rolling would be almost pre-
vented, and that the ships power of
climbing waves would be immensely in
creased. Chicago Times.

Cleaning Stained Books.

Often, through carelessness, the pages
of valuable books become stained. An
old grease spot may be removed by ap-
plying solution of caustic potash to the
back of the leaf. This may cause the
printing to fade, but that can be re-
stored by weak application of muriatic
acid-about twenty-five parts of water
to one of acid. A fresh spot is removed
easily by chloroform or benzine, aud ink
spots disappear by an application of
oxalic acid and hot water, which will also
take off rust spots. .--Neu York Telegram.

Paths That Become Water. Courses.

On the West Coast of Africa, for miles
inland, the forests are so choked with
impenetrable underwood, that the trav-
eler can only follow the narrow pains
that have been made by the natives.
These are only wide enough to allow
people to march in single file, and as
these paths always become water courses
during the rainy season, they are any
thing but pleasant to walk on. The
forests themselves are chiefly made up of
immense bombax or six-cotton trees,
their smooth, gray trunks standing out
like sentincls among the dark, gloomy
bush and the quiet, death-like silence.
Enormous buttresses stretch out from
their bases on every side, often twenty
and thirty feet high. Between them,
however, one can generally make good
camp, except for those pests of every
tropical forest, the ants. One of tho
worst places to camp in, though looking
the most inviting, is ina cocoanut grove,
owing to the danger of a nut falling and
striking one.
In these forests tho hum of life at
night is as great as in the forests of
tropical America. One need not 20 far
inland to be awakened at night by the
sullen roar of the lion, but the most awful
cry to be heard in these forests is the cry
of the small lemur. These ghosts of the
forests begin with low, plaintive cry
that, gradually increasing, sounds as
though some human being was in the
last throes of torture. In the Ashantee
war the writer remembers sentry who
was absolutely paralyzed with fear at the
grewsome noise. He stuck to his post,
butfew men have ever been so frightened
as that man was. Snakes, as a rule,
cause but little trouble. They will In
variably crawl away from man, and only
when trod on or attacked do they strike.

The Horned Toad Industry.

One of the peculiar industries of Kern
County, is the collection and shipment
of horned toads. They are sold to the
Chinese, who use them for medicinal pur-
poses. They are considered especially
valuable in the treatment of rheumatism.
The formula is as follows: Two parts
whisky and one part horned toad; mix
and let it stand one year. 1t may then
be taken internally or applied externally

Exercise for the Lungs.

At the present era, when physical
culture is part of the curriculum of our
most intellectual schools, and is so
generally regarded as a necessary element
toward supplying and maintaining the
sound body for the sound mind, it is
worth while to consider recent state
ment of eminent physicians that the
mere exercise of singing is great help
toward the prevention, cure or alleviation
of lung diseases. In the incpient state
of such diseases it is even said to be a
powerful aid to cure. 1t is, indeed,
somewhat curious that the medical fra
ternity have not exploited the theory Of
lung exercise by singing more fully here
tofore than they are now doing, for the
action of calisthenics in strengthening
muscular tissues has for years been a
universal practice, although, as matter
of fact, the mere physical exercise of
singing brings into play an extraordinary
number of muscles that can hardly be
suspected Of action in connection with
the throat expansion. 1t was disclosed
by statistics in Italy some years ago, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, that
vocal artists were usually long lived and
healthy, and that brass instrument
players, who bring their lungs and chest
into unusual activity, have not had
consumptive victim among them. No
matter how thin or weak the voice,
children or young people should be en-
couraged to indulge in song. There can
be no happier medicine, and if hearers
sometimes suffer, they should be en-
couraged and strengthened to bear the
infiction in view of the good it may
occasion.

A YOUNG LADY TELLS WHAT
KIND OF MEN TO PUT
IN OFFICE.

Mr. EDIToR:-Just give me a little
space somewhere if it is on the eighth
page, for I want you to "lend me
your ears" a few moments. You saw
stop unless | have something worth
telling? Well l have; several things.
if you please to hear them-if not
kindly jam your fists in your ears"
One thing to begin with: I wish to
express my very critical opinion of
your or mora properly our paper, and
l must say for its increasing influence,
it's general excellence, it's continued
improvement and "spjcy editorials, it
far exceeds our most sanguine expecta-
tions. Indeed we can but admit there
is some motive power at the head of
all this grand improvement of the
best paper in the State. Oh yes, |
know very well what l am saying;
don't interrupt me, please. Really
yes, it is on a boom-a Big boom. l
tell you it must be true. This new
associate editor must be the motive
power If his head is read " well,
rel, I mean.)
Now there is something else l
wanted very much to say, as the
preacher said, which is simply this:
A great many are proposing that we
nominate u patriotic friend, Hon.
W. J. Green, for the next Congress.
This meets my hearty approval.
Brother Alliance men, here is where
| want your special attention. With
such meu as Col. Green and Elias
Carr in Congress we may we'll expect
better times. We will see that our
Interests are needed, our wants at.
tended to. There never was a nobler
specimen of "chivalric man " or a bet.
ter statesman than Col. Green. With
his powerful intellect and command
ing ways he is fitted for any office of
honor; being one of u s~taunchest
Alliance men, it is we'll worth your
while to consider this matter. Broth.
ers, give him your support. With
such men as Cleveland, Polk and
Green and Carr and others of like
note at the helm, we can bid def
ance to monopolies, trusts and com.
b1nes and feel u crushed wings be-
gin to expand until we realize that
We are once more a free nation
with equal rights. What are we now
but slaves of toll and monopolies that
rule with a golden scepter to their
own increasing wealth and our in
creasing poverty?
Again let me feebly ask the breth,
rem to nominate men who cannot be
bought by these ruling kings of trusts
to support their infamous bills. Then
and not till then may we expect bet
ter tines l know l but voice the
sentiments of our entire common
wealth. Hurriedly yours,
EvANaELINE UsHER. y
