TWITTERING SWALLOWS.

In and out and under the caves,
Blown about like the falling leaves,
Twittering swallows spend the season
Now the days are shorter and chill,
There come from many a musical bill
Notes of instinct that sound like reason
Well have they dined on bug and nudge.
Now they are perched upon the ridge
OF the old barn, that's warped and hoary.
There they sit, bright birds of a feather.
Holding twitter-talk all together,
Each telling an after dinner story.
They will follow the summer bland;
To them no land is a foreign land.
One exclaimed, with a joyous filter
True cosmopolitans are we,
Home is where we happen to be,
And swallows understand our twitter."
Then, in soft notes | scarce could catch
One spoke of a nest under the thatch
If a cottage where waves the willow.
Another shook his velvet head,
And with his noisy %neighbors plead
To fly with him DER field and billow-
They talked about all sorts Of things;
Sharpened their bills and preened their wings;
Then away, away, the tourists started,
Sailing over river and main,
Will they ever return a0ain
To the old home from which they've parted?
o happy tourists of the air.
Unburdened, free of debt and care,
Would that | had swift wings to follow
In the flight over land and sea,
With heart as light and wing as free
As the happy travelling swallow!

A Word About a Millinery Firm Which

A Word About a Millinery Firm Which
Is Fast Getting to the Front.
Durham has one millinery firm which,
while it does not make much noise has
recently given gratifying evidence OF a
prosperous business and proved that in
spite of all competition it is still on
earth.
We allude to the firm of Mrs. A. J.
Faucette 6 Co which, while not so long
established or so widely known as some
others, is looking after its affairs
and steadily getting to the front.
Miss Patterson, the lady directly in
charge of the business, is thoroughly
versed in the art Of stylish millinery, as
are also her assistants whose study it is
to please all patrons.
Their store is on Main street and their
fall stock is the latest and most attrac-
tive. 1t will pay you to see their styles
and get their prices before purchasing.

A Fish That Turns to Water,

A curious animal is the medusa. Writ
ing in 1901, Reamur says: 1T is a true
sea water jelly, having little color or con
slstence. If we take one in our hands,
The natural heat is sufficient to dissolve
it into water" A medusa looks more
like a mushroom than anything else, and
Is often of a pale blue or rose color, while
in some localities it is violet. The tissue
Of a medusa is 80 fragile that when
abandoned by the waves on the beach it
melts and disappears, without leaving q
trace of its ever having existed" They
are found principally in the arctic seas,
and constitute one of the chief supports
Of the whale.-London Tit-Bits.

The Nutmeg Tree.

The nutmeg is the kernel of the fruit
Of severel species of trees growing wild
IN Asia, Africa and America. The Gull
sivated nutmeg tree is from fifty to
'e~venty-tve feet high and produces fruit
for sixty years. The fruit is of the size
and appearance of a roundish pear, yell
low in color. The fieshy part of the
fruit is rather hard and resembles can
died citron.
Within is the nut, enveloped in the
curious yellowish red aril known to us as
mace. Up to 1896 the Dutch, being in
possession Of the islands producing the
Dnly valuable variety of the nutmeg,
jealously tried to prevent the carrying of
the tree or a living seed of it into n
territory independent of Dutch rule

The Painstaking French Soldier.

1t is said that a French soldier, sta
tioned at a picture gallery, had strict
orders to allow no one to pass without
first depositing his walking stick. A
gentleman came with his hands in his
pockets. The soldier, taking him by the
arm, said: "Citizen, where is your
stick?" Il have no stick" Then you
will have to go back and get one before
can allow you to pass"
AS this man read his orders the inten-
ton was that, as a preliminary to in
specting the gallery, everybody was to
deposit a stick-not that those who had
a stick should not be allowed to carry 1t
with them into the gallery.-Temple

shakespeare's knowledge of Insomnia.

Shakespeare's knowledge of Insomnia.
Touching upon the question Of insom-
MIA, DR.. Charcot, the great specialist.
made a remark which was not only in
teresting in itself, but which proved his
thorough acquaintance with the works
Of E~ngland's greatest dramatist. 1T is
curious to note" he remarked, chow
feelingly Shakespeare dwells on the
question of sleep, not only in the famous
passage of Macbeth beginning, Mac
beth hath murdered sleep but in many
other places in his plays. made at one
time a collection of fifty quotations
from his works on that subject. So |
I'm inclined to think that he suffered
from insomnia"
remarked that perhaps the death Of
the great poet when SO few years past
middle age might have been caused by
the vast mental strain consequent on the
production of his marvellous works, and
n that case insomnia would certainly
have formed one Of the symptoms Of his
condition. "Great genius" remarked
the doctor, sis almost invariably the
offshoot Of i'll health, either mental or
physical" THAT was hardly the case"
| responded, with Victor Hugo, who
lived to be past eighty and was always
as sturdy as an oak" "But you forget,
madam, that he came of a family of
maniacs," was the response. "His
brother died insane and his daughter is
the inmate Of an asylum for lunatics." -

DOODLE STREET CONTRACTORS TO THE
FRONT.

Now that we are to have boom in
street work on account of the easy pay
ments under the new street law, it be-
comes of the first Importance to proper
ty-holders that the work should be care
fully watched so as to be honestly done.
If it is possible, under the machinery Of
the Vrooman act for contractors to i'm
pose cheap and inferier work upon the
property-holders in spite of the terms of
the specifications calling for good work
and first-class material, then the people
had better call halt to street improve
ment. In our local columns attention
is called to the gutter work at point on
Also street. The swindle here was so
barefaced that the city engineer noti-
fed the contractor that he would refuse
to sign warrants for it. Granite blocks
were to be laid upon four inches of
concrete, but the contractor ignored the
concrete foundation altogether, and the
inspector placed over the work by the
street superintendent was conveniently
blind to his duty. Under the Vrooman
act the city engineer has no power
over street work. The city su-
perintendent OF streets supervises the
work as it progresses, and if it is not be-
ing done according to the terms of the
contract, he alone has the power to
compel the contractor as he goes along
to comply with the terms of the specif-
cations. If the superintendent of streets
neglects his duty and the inspector he
places on the work is conveniently blind
to the way in which the contractor is
boodling the Job, there is no help for it.
The property-holders will be compelled
to stand the swindle. We might be able
to get some honest street work done if
the council would authorize the city en-
gineer to appoint an inspector where an
important and costly contract was to be
carried out. If, for instance, the
proposition to pave Pearl and Fig
ueroa streets to the city limits
should be finally authorized, it would
be an outrage of the most exasperating
character for the property-holders along
those streets to pay at the rate of $7.75
per foot front for the improvement, not
withstanding the contractors had noto-
riously and deliberately scrimped the
work and cheapened the material. If
the street superintendentiand the pecu-
liar inspectors which that officer seems
to gather round him report upon the
work favorably, that is the end of it.
The swindle must go. But the council
can bring this kind OF imposition down
to the minimum by continuing the
authority of the city engineer over the
work after it has gone to the street
superintendent, and by giving the former
an occasional inspector to report to him
upon it as it progresses.
