Birds Hate Loud ColOrs,

DIR. c. G. Abbott says that in expert.
menting on the intelligence of birds he
placed a number of pieces of woolen
yarn-red. yellow, green, purple, and
gray in color-near tree in which q
couple of Baltimore orioles were building
their nest. The pieces of yarn were all
exactly alike except in color. There was
an equal number of threads in each
color, the red and yellow being purposely
placed on top. The birds chose only the
duller colors, taking all of the gray and
few threads of the purple when the
nest was nearly done.
Not single thread of the red or bright
yellow was touched, the birds seeming to
instinctively know that such loud colors
would make their domicile too conspicu-
Gus. Again he experimental by grid
ling the branches upon which nests were
located, causing the leaves to slrivel and
blow away. Although they had laid
their eggs, the birds invariably left their
nests. II the Nests contained yoang
when the leaves dried up, notwithstand-
Ing the exposure they would feed the
little ones until they were able to take
care of themselves.

Deafness CANT Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed
condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars

through the winter SHOWS of the mountain
passes struggled the long, gaunt train of
chasers of the new Eldorado; how some
staggered grimly onward under their heavy
packs, while others sank sobbing in the
great white drifts; how a few ''struck it
rich" while the forgotten thousands wore
out their lives in toihng for the fortune that
never came. This is the poetry and the
romance of the Rockies.
One story this shaggy-browed, tangled
bearded '49er told me was characteristic.
In 1877 a wealthy Detroiter went home
from his mines in Leadville and told some
very large stories. His exaggerated and
Dragging accounts led several hundred poor
men to return with him to Leadville, where
he glibly promised them employment. They
got there only to find the camp already
crowded with unemployed men dependent
on the charity of the miners. Most of them
were without means, and soon starvation
stared them in the face. When the miners
learned the situation they made the braggart
millionaire a frontier call An impolite
rope was stretched over cedar branch, and
one end disconnected his neck "Now,"
said the visitors, "you fooled these men out
here to starve by your blowing. They've
got no work and no way to get home. Give
them $50 apiece to take them back to
Detroit or you'll dance on nothing in less'n

A QUEER SPANISH CUSTOM.

Why the Crews Of Men-of-War Always Go
Aloft at Sundown.
New York Tmes.]
The presence of the Spanish schoolship
Nautilus In the North River recalls a
curious custom in vogue on war vessels of
that nationality. It originated in super
stition and has long been the subject of
many jeers from English-speaking mariners.
Years ago, SO the legend runs, Spanish
man-of-war was lost under peculiar circum-
stances. The ship was careening before a
Levant breeze, when suddenly the heavens
grew dark with an approaching squall 1t
became necessary to shorten sail quickly
and the seamen were hurried to their sta
tions The vessel heeled under her bellying
canvas and the sailors tugged at the clew
lines, but not a sheet would start.
As O last resort the halyards were cut,
and under ordinary circumstances the yards
would have fallen upon the caps and spilled
the wind out of the sails. But they re-
manned mast-headed, and in a few moments
the vessel capsized. 1t was afterward dis
covered that the sheayes, through which the
ropes for shortening sails were rove, had
been so tightly plugged up with sticks and
other small Instructions that it was impos-
slble 1or the ropes TO sllde through. 1t was
urged that no human agency could have
done 1t, and the deed was laid at the door
of the evil one.
Shortly after the fateful occurrence gen.
eral order was promulgated directing that
the crew Of every Spanish war vessel be
sent aloft to chase His Majesty out of the
sheave holes every evening at sundown
From that day to the present it has been
the custom for the crew to go aloft for this
purpose when the colors are lowered at sun
set. They scramble up the rigging as the
flag comes down, run out upon the yard
arms and closely examine every hole and
crevice. Their patient search for the elusive
old gentleman has hitherto been as fruitless
as that instituted by single ladies under
beds for long-lost burglars.
What would happen if they should ever
find what they search for can only be i'm

shadow of the peak crept up on the

A perpendicular mile below my feet that
night the soft, feecy clouds went drifting
along the SCARED tanks of the grim, un-
mindful giant, while the full moon poured
down ON them her cold, white glory. It
was one of the views that make the heart
fairly ache with its unearthly beauty.

slid the IL miles from the station down to
Manitou in 1:40-a downhill race which is
very exhilarating at the time, but is apt to

English People Are Trying the Idea That
Came Out Here a Year Ago.
Pail Mall Budget.l
The other day well-known Bond street
beautifer showed and explained to me a
new and wonderful process for perfuming
the human body. By hypodermic injec-
tions of sweet essences, such as white rose,
lilac, or violet, ones skin may be rendered
as fragrant as that of Alexander the Greats.
The little instrument used for making the
injection is syringe of about the same size
as that used for administering morphia. It
will hold something like q half a dozen
drops of essence. The operation is painless,
and one may do it for oneself with only the
aid of ones right hand 1t only needs to be
performed once week, as the perfume re-
mains in the skin for that period. 1 was
assured that there was no risk of blood
poisoning. The beautifer said that the
fashionable ladies whom she waits on are
delighted with the idea.
/ had almost forgotten to mention the
fact that the breath as well as the skin is
rendered fragrant by the essence. Men will
no doubt find it handy remedy for counter
acting the odors of tobacco smoke, which
to some fsstidious ladies is $50 yery OBJ
jectionable." The little instrument. with
scent bottle and needles all complete, can
be had for 10 shillings. 1t was DR.. J.
Rousell's experiments for the cure of
phthisis that led to the discovery of the
process. He used eucalyptus for his
hypodermic injections, and the fact that
the skin and breath of his patients became
impregnated with its disagreeable odor
caused him to try perfume as q remedy.

thoughts, and from exploring turned to
gathering belated grasshoppers. A good
string Of trout soon dangled at my belt, and
then rolling boulder pitched me a dozen
feet into an 10y pool and gave me severely
sprained ankle. That ended the fun, and
stopping only long enough to hobble through
the two small but beautiful gorges hmped
of into the plains and was glad enough to
stop at the first cabin in my way.
The Romance of the Rockies.
1t was a very interesting spot-not for the
rough little shanty, but for the battered,
grizzly old miner whose home it was 1t did
me good to hear him growl away in some
tale OF the days in which he was part-when
Colorado was part Of the great des-
ert; when the three Ute tribes were
thick as grasshoppers on the plains; when
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-06-28

heard of this, he begged that if Conrad
knew of any remedy for his dear child, he
would tell it. Conrad then obtained per-
mission to gather some of the violets which
grew in the palace gurden, and when the
Princess had pressed the flowers to her lips,
she at once began to speak, and from that
moment could hear distinctly all that was
going on around her. In his gratitude, the
King gave Conrad a place in his kingdom,
and allowed him to bring his mother, who
had suffered so much want, to live in the
palace. At the death of the old sovereign
Conrad was made king, and with the Prin-
cess as his wife, ruled long and happily.
But no one ever heard again of Donald, and
it was thought that he perished in the great
forest. PAYSIE

steep along the dashing brook, whose fringe
of bushes bent with pear-shaped icicles. 1t
seemed odd to see icicles with the big end
down; but these came from the spray which,
of course, was thickest nearer the brook.
After getting up out of the canon. and
upon southerly spur of the peak, I began
to find trouble with the snow, which had
drifted a couple Of feet deep in the trough
like trail There was no lodging it, how
ever, for outside the one path all was loose,
sharp rocks At the wild, desolate timber
line, where the last scrubby dwarf of tree
clung sadly amid the rocks, matters grew
worse; for as soon as rounded Windy
Point, savage, icy wind from the snow
peaks of Sangre de Cristo fairly
Stabbed Me Through and Through.
My perspiration-soaked clothing turned
stiff in five minutes, and the very marrow
in my bones seemed frozen despite the vio-
lent exercise of climbing. Worst of al, it
was almost impossible to breathe in the
face of that icy gale at such an altitude,
though otherwise never felt any of the un-
pleasant symptoms, either in heart, lungs,
or nerves, experienced by many at that al
titude.
1t was $50 P. M when stood painting at

dumb, and shed many tears when saw
the fair creature walking in the palace gar
den, and unable to hear the rippling fount-
ain, or the sweet songs of the birds. Why
does not some one tell her to kiss the
little violets, which grow in the garden. If
she does so, she will be healed at once"
These and many other tales were told, and
then the animals took their departure, not
knowing that Conrad had listened to all
their talk. When the forest was still once
more the boy descended from the tree, satis-
fed his hunger with the remains of the feast,
and then laid down to sleep until morning
AT sunrise he arose and ran to the top of
the hill, which he found not far away. From
this place he could see the towers of the
city, and the Kings palace standing in the
center of a large park. Conrad was not
long in making his way thfther. He took
his stand near the palace gate, and when the
King came into the garden the boy cried:
80 King, here me; for 1 know how your
sight can be restored"
The King ordered Conrad to come nearer,
and asked the meaning of his words. When
Conrad had told what had happened the
night before, the King said: 81 shall go to
the forest tomorrow morning. If what you
have said is true, you shall receive great re-
ward; but if you have spoken falsely, you
shall lose your life"
The next morning Conrad conducted the
King TO the old tree in the forest, and when
after bathing his eyes in the dew, the proud
ruler found that he could see, his delight
knew no bounds. He was very grateful to
Conrad and gave him purse of gold and
handsome horse. Conrad then continued
his journey. As he passed the w1d-
ow's cottage, he paused long enough
to tell her to dig out the poisonous
plants, which were growing at the roots of
her trees, and then he hurried to the city
where lived the deaf and dumb princess.
When the boy announced that the Princess
should both speak and hear the people
shouted with laughter, and wished to drive
him from the city. But when the King
