HWell, she replied, there are usually

the other is girls who don't happen to be

The perfectly healthy tongue is clean.

at the edge, and has no prominent pa,

local causes or from sympathy with the

tongue occurs most frequently in fever

simply of the feverish condition, with
perhaps sour stomach. When it is moist

A CALIFORNIA BIRD CAGE.
Phea~ants and Quail Bred in nn Enor.
nous Ayiary,


California ma well boast Of its big
trees, its waterfalls of the Yosemite, and
its magnificent fruil and vegetable prod
nets, but it has added another laurel to
its crown in possessing the largest aviary
in the world. An hours Journey from
San Francisco by water and rail. the
Chronicle of that city says, brings one to
the quiet little town of San Pablo in Con.
ira Costa county, and a short drive from
there is the old well known Alvarado
rancho, now owned by Henry +. Emeric.
Over an area of 2 800 acres of fertile
ground are scattered orchards and wheat
fields that yield wonderful crops. and
near the center of this domain is the old
home of Mr.. Emerics father, now de-
ceased. 1t is quaint structure. with
shaded verandas, and its roof is robed in
season with a mantel of pure white
Castilian roses. Fronting the house are
parterres OF choice flowers of innumer-
able kinds, bright with color and as
fragrant as the breeze waited odors Of
Ceylon. There are, in fact, $40 varieties
of roses alone to be seen, and in the con-
servatory there are rare orchids and
other valuable plants.
Through the vista OF weeping willows
and peach and apple trees, heavily laden
with bellhowers and Winter Nellies, the
aviary is seen. This feature Of the place
is an airy structure of closely netted wire
sustained at intervals Of Is feet by
wooden uprights. forming perfect cage.
1t is 175 feet long by 60 feet wide. With
-
ounce trees. tho tops of which emerge
through the nettings. This, in addition
to a covert of thick brush, affords admi-
rable shelter for the birds in summer,
while in the winter they have the use of
large house that is in the cage for their
protection against the elements. With
commendable foresight Mr.. Emeric has
stocked this avary with English pheas-
ants, and there are also hundreds of quail
there. merely as IA side issue.
Mr. Emeric estimates that he will have
over 400 pheasants next season, and he
proposes to set loose 100 or more of them
each year to run wild through the coun-
try and will give many away to those
who desire to propagate them. This will
of course be of great benefit to all lovers
of bird shooting, and besides will assist
materially in increasing the numbers Of
what are now rare species Of fowl in
this State. The pheasants are fed with
wheat, and occasionally chopped liver is
given to them. They are crossed with
Bantam hens, the result being game
cocks that are as pugnacious as their inn
ported sires. and the pheasant is notably
a fighting bird. The golden pheasants
are only fit for an aviary, and occupy
the position that Sevres vase does in
drawing room. Mr. Emerio has just
completed negotiations to have a largo
invoice of bob whites sent to him from
the East next spring, and then he will
increase the proportions of his aviary to
three times its present size.

Sometimes smile of gladness, and then a
stab of pain;
Sometimes a flash of sunlight, again the drift

Sometimes it seems to borrow from the Grim

Sometimes black with thunder then changed
to a brilliant blue;
Sometimes as false as Satans, sometimes as
Heaven true.
Only the same old story But, o, how the
changes ring!

scholar and king;
Sometimes the warmest hand-clasp leaves in

Sometimes in the hush of even, sometimes in

Sometimes with dove like calmness, sometimes
with passions rife,
We dream it, write it, live it, this weird, wild
story of life.

Just why Fat Man Puffs

In suggesting a new theory of the suns
light and heat to the members of the Bos-
ton Scientific Society, Mr.. George Smith
recently showed scientific reasons why a
fat man should suffer more than a lean
one in summer.
The new theory, briefly put, is this ;
Gravity is an ethereal force continually
streaming from space through every solar
and celestial body. If the body is not
movable with relation to some larger
body, this force of gravity becomes that
form of molecular motion which we call
heat,
AS gravity depends upon the mass of
body, and heat is, according to Mr..
Smiths theory, in one sense gravity, it
follows that the larger body is the
hotter. Hence the fat mans discomfort.

As TO Looking One In the Eye.

There is an old theory that man is
not to be trusted who will not look one
straight in the eye, Yet this power of
habit depends far more upon the amount
Of self esteem or natural courage which
one possesses than upon guilt or inno-
cence. A rascal may be either shame
faced or brazen, One of the latter sort
ould look the recording angel in the face
without the quiver of an eyelash while
committing the most atrocious trime.--

Wealth and HRppiness,

Some very rich men have written
answers to a correspondent who asked
them whether wealth brought happiness.
Most of the replies are interesting, but
only few contain anything new in
sentiment or suggestion. The general
refrain appears to be that the cares of
great wealth more than offset the hap
piness derived from its use and posses
sion. The fact is, that no general rule
can apply to the subject. For instance,
great wealth could not bring much hap
piness to a man afflicted with painful
and incurable disease or to man who
has exhausted vigor and mortgaged
vitality in the pursuit Of wealth. 1t
could not bring happiness to him who
looks for happiness only in this world,
and knows that he has but little of this
world left.
Few men acquire great fortunes while
at the time of life when, from physical
point of view, life is most enjoyable.
John w. Mackay's answer to the query
is that "he enjoyed poverty and hard
ship while winning wealth more than
he ever enjoyed the wealth itself" Very
likely. Not that Mr.. Mackay was really
delighted with poverty and hardship, but
that he was young then, and the brave
struggle of vigorous youth, with fortune
ahead and perhaps in sight, had in it
more real zest and pleasure than the
actual possession of the prize in calmer
and more calculating years. George M.
Pullman voiced similar feeling to that
of Mr.. Mackay. He was much happier,
he said, when poor and hardworking
man than now with his millions, and
Vice President Morton was also happier
when young man, clerking in country
store, than with his ample fortune to-
day New York Press.

The Great Gums of the japanese Navy

Ihe Ufeat Gums OF the japanese Navy
The attention of naval and military
authorities has been strongly drawn of
late to the remarkable difference in the
effective power of the heavy guns of
English made and those of the French.
The 40 ton guns of the English navy,
constructed at immense cost represent
the latest and most formidable type of
armament which Britain has produced.
If the calculations Of the makers could
be realized in practice, the power of these
guns would be astonishing. They are 43
feet s inches long, l6! inch bore, intended
to sustain charge of 900 pounds of
powder, carry projectile of 1,SOO
pounds, with a muZzle velocity of 2,12S
feet per second, equal to penetration Of
almost "a inches of wrought iron. Sew
eral trials of these guns have been made
with charges much below the maximum,
and in every instance the guns have been
SO much in jured as torendcr it dangerous
to subject them to full tests. The latest
trial was that of the 40 ton gun of the
war ship Sans Pareil, at Shoeburyness,
with moderate charge of powder The
result was the bore Of the gun was found
to have dropped, and also to have become
laterally DETECTED. This is much to be
regretted, for the gun is magnificent
specimen of mechanical construction.
In France the great company known
as the FORCES ct Chantiers de la Medi-
terranee, at EIavre, under contract with
the japanese government, have produced
some large canet guns for the war vessels
of that nation, which must be conceded
to stand at the present time in the front
rank. Japan may be said to beat the
world in the actual power of her heavy
guns They have been subjected to the
severest tests, no expense having been
spared in these trials to render them sure
and effective. Each round fired cost
$4,000, and some $40, 900 in all were spent
for the purpose. These guns weigh &C
tons, 12! inches bore, Al feet 8 inches
length, maximum weight of projectile
1904 pounds, powder charge 5G22
pounds, muzzle velocity 2,262 feet per
second, penetration Of wrought iron
45.16 inches, maximum range over 13
miles. Twenty rounds were fired with
out the least injury to gun or carriage.
These are wonderful results, and show
that the French makers have advantages
above all others.--lScientific American.
