A Bird That Kills Rttlers.

Riding in California one day, saws a
traveller, my companion called attention
to bird in the road ahead of me. 1t
was something like prairie chicken,
but much more slender and graceful in
build. Itwas not using its wings, but it
moved very rapidly, and We had to keep
the horse in pretty good trot to keep up
with it. My friend told me it was a
"road runner" a bird that was noted there
tor its pedestrian accomplishments, and
peculiar habit they have is to walk al
ways in the center of the road.
When one of these birds meets a rattle.
snake, it behaves in such coy manner
that it leads the snake to think it will
become the victim of its charm, and
while it is keeping the snake in doubt as
to Its attention it runs about in the cactus
and picks off the thorns with its bill.
dropping them in circle around the
snake until it has him completely sur
rounded by cactus thorns, then it flies to
some elevation and it sits there to watch
the snake stick himself to death on the
thorns, trying to get out of the ring.

Lazlness q Foe to Originality.

We do not know who said it, but it is a
fact we'll stated, and we regret not being
able to give the writer proper credit
The great enemy to indivldualism is lazi-
ness, and those who know anything OF
human frailties will, am sure, bear me
out when l say that "mental" laziness
is far more common and far more diff
cult to overcome than that Of Il e body.
1t is so much easier to accept dogmatic
teaching, and to shift the responsibility
of our views on to others rather than to
concentrate our thoughts and work out
the lessons of our own observations. 1t
is much more pleasant to butterfly from
theory to theory than to seek truth with
patient tenacity; why trouble ourself to
learn self reliance, when natural Incidence
protests against the sacrifice?
1t Is easier to Initiate than to originate
plagiarism and mimicry are such prom
inent features in our lives, that their
presence might almost be quoted as an
argument in favor of our evolution in
past ages from simian ancestry. How
plausible are the excuses we make for
our want of individualism We are so
dreadfully afraid of being thought bump
tious. we are SO delightfully."- humble, we
really do not wish to intrude our opinion,
and yet all the brightest lights of our
profession have been men of strong in

Fathers Of the Republic Young Set

No falacy is more firmly fixed in the
public mind than that which represents
the establishment of our Government as
the work of cid men. The delusion is
imbibed in childhood, and is uuconsciou
~ cultivated by the text books used in
school. The "fathers of the Republic
are depicted in all the histories with wigs
queues aud other accessories of dress that
apparently betoken age, and the pupil
naturally concludes that they must have
been old when the nation was born.
In point of fact they were an uncom-
monty young set Of men. George Wash
ington, senior in age as we'll as in author
ity and influence, was but forty three
when the Revolution broke out. and fifty
seven when he became first President;
Thomas Jefferson. only thirty three when
he wrote the Declaration of Independ-
ence; Alexander Hamilton, but thirty
two when he became Secretary OF the
Treasury; James Madison, only twenty
three when he was made member of
Virginia committee of safety, and thirty
six when he was Hamilton's great col
laborator in the production of that polit-
ical classic 1.-THE Federalist''
Nor were the leaders in the great enter
prise exceptional in this matter of age.
Forty names we're signed to the Constitu
ton Of the United States on the 18th of
September, 1887. Leaving out of account
four whose birthdays are not given by
the books of reference, only five of the
remaining thirty-slx had reached the age
of sixty; twenty of the number were less
than forty; among the latter being one
(HamiIton) of thirty, another of twenty
nine, third of twenty eight and fourth
who lacked some months Of twenty seven
when the convention met. The average
age of all the members did not quite
reach forty. five years. The most impor-
tant committee to which the instrument
was referred for final revision consisted
Of five members, four of whom were be-
tween thirty and thirty six years of age,
the fifth and least prominent being sixty.

Sudden Death of Public Speaker

on being asked in relation to the death of
the deceased, stated that "whi.e he was
addressing large outdoor assemblage of

platform on which he was standing gave
away beneath him, whereby he was pre-
cipitated several feet with such violence

A Sensational Preacher.

A sensational preacher died some years
ago, says the Rocky Mountain News.
Often in the excitement Of his preaching
he would work himself up to such de-
gree that he would occasionally shed tears,
which had great effect upon his congre-
cation. After his death his sermons were
examined by his executors, and it was
frequently found in some of his most ex-
citing sermons that he had enclosed in
brackets the words, "Cry here"
