The Barn Owl.

The barn owl, when she has young,
brings to her nesta mouse every twelve min
utes, and as shei actively employed both at
evening and dawn, as both male and female
hunt, forty mice Il day is the lowest COM
putation we cun make. How soft is the
plumage Of the owl; how noiseless her
fight! Watch her as she floats past the
ivy tod, down by the ricks, and silently
over the old wood. Then away over the
meadows, through the open door and out
of the loophole of the barn, round the
lichened tower, and along the course of the
brook.
Presently she returns to her four downy
young, with mouse in one claw and a
mole in the other, soon to be ripped up,
torn and eaten by the greedy, swapping
imps The young are produced from April
to December, and not infrequently both
young and eggs are found in the same
nest. If you would see the midday sesta
of the owls, climb UP into some hay now
There in an angle of the beam You will
see their owlships, snoring and blinking
wide their great, round eyes. Their duet is
the most unearthly, ridiculous, grave, like
nothing-else noise you ever heard-Corn-

Thirst in Corpulent People,

Corpulent people very generally suffer
from thirst and need large quantities of
water to satisfy it. The thirst is also the
most intense after eating hearty meal.
just what causes this symptom is not clear,
but it is quite safe to attribute it to a low
form of irritation of the stomach. As a
rule, also, these people insist that they are
comparatively "small eaters" whereas, as
matter of fact, the most of them have
abnormally large appetites, and eat more
than others who are at or near the standard
weight
Again, very many Of them suffer more or
less from dyspepsia, digestion being much
less active than normal. The stomach of a
healthy person disposes of hearty meal
in the course of four or five hours, while
that of corpulent person does its work
indolently and occupies several hours
longer. Corpulent people are also singu-
larly inclined to biliousness, which is not
Surprising considering the condition of the
stomach. AS rule, too, there is sluggish
intestinal action.
The popular method of treating corpu-
lency is by restricting the diet to foods
which are poor in fat, and others which are
not convertible into fat within the system.
This leads to q reduction in weight; it also
lessons the work of the digestive organs,
and gives them chance to rest and regain
their strength; moreover, it indirectly, if
not directly, favors all vital organs. As
soon as this effect is felt, the discharge of
waste products from the system is decided
ly freer.-Boston Herald.

How to Enter and Leave a Room.

How Co Enter ana Leave q Room.
II there are other guests in the room,
greet each one pleasantly upon entering
I No matter if you cannot recognize them at
any other time. Etiquette demands that
you treat those guests p olitely whom you
meet in friends house. Don't slide into
the first chair you reach, but pass well into
the room before seating yourself
"A gentleman holds his hat and cane while
making formal call. Try and appeaAin-
terested in whatever subject is introduced,
and never suggest subject which is not of
general interest to those around you And
when it is time to bring your call to close,
don't begin to fidget about in your chair,
dreading to make the first move.
1t is very awkward to leave the room
during q lull in the conversation Wait
until you yourself are talking, then rise to
your feet 1t is quite unnecessary to ask
every one in the room to come and see you,
and even the friend upon whom you are
calling knows that you will hope for call
from her in the near future without your
announcing the fact.
Now before leaving turn to each one in
the room, make slight bow and address,
ing each by name bid them ''good after
noon." Do not keep your hostess standing
for great many last remarks, but having
gained your feet, move easily toward the
door and take your departure.
For those who are invariably awkward
and shy on entering or leaving room it is
a good plan to practice the above rules at
home before the members of ones own
family. 1t will become great help to
them in acquiring natural ease and grace.

Forest Sanctuaries

The legislatures of eight different states
of the great west contemplate the enact
ment of more stringent game laws, but it
is probable that the last big horn sheep of
the Rockies and the last wild turkey of the
Alleghenies will have followed the buffalo
to the eternal hunting grounds when the
swamp forests of Florida will still afford a
refuge to thousands of bears and deer.
The draining of the Everglades would
battle engineers that have tunneled the
rockiest Sierras, and only twenty miles
south of Tallahassee there is jungle chaos
that has defied the enterprise of the pluck
lest explorers so completely indeed that

Exhaustion Of silver Mines.

1t is worth noting in view of the silver
discussion that by the modern and espe-
cially the American system Of mining, the
richest mines are most rapidly exhausted
It is in them that capital can afford to CON
centrate the most expensive and effective
machinery, and the costly plant once
placed, the more rapid the extraction and
reduction of ore the greater is the econ
omy. 1t seems but yesterday that the
Comstock and its combinations made
Nevada the greatest silver region in the
world. but now one rarely hears of the
Comstock, and in the last decade Nevada
lost heavily in population. The silver
mines of Colorado develop for the most
part slowly, which is not SO good for in
vestors, but is far better for the building
OF permanent community.

The Wonderful Number Seven,

Seven is a number of great prominence
and singularity There are seven planets,
seven metals, seven coiors and seven tastes.
There are seven principal virtues-three
divine and four cardinal. There are seven
days in the week and seven ages of man.
There are seven windows through which
the ordinary senses are exercised-the eyes,
the ears, the nostrils and the mouth.
There are seven liberal arts, seven sciences
and seven notes in music. The seventh son
is wonder and the seventh son of a

The medical name of near sight is my
opia. In this defect the rays of light con
verge to focus before reaching the retina.
The opposite of this, in which the converg-
ing point is beyond the retina, is called
hyperopia. Hyperopia gives rise to head
aches and neuralgia from the constant
strain of the muscles of accommodation in
viewing distant objects. Persons afflicted
with it need convex glasses, but naturally
select concave ones

Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1891-06-03

The late Philip WEIGH, who flooded all
tine comic papers ana some OF the serious
ones with the most original, the most con-
else and pointed paragraphs, wrote each
one-they were always short-in the mid
die of a sheet of good, thick note paper.
Thus he secured two advantages Hav-
ing sheet of paper for each joke he was
under no temptation to lengthen his wit
ticsm to suit the page; and for the nature
of his material, such as one would use for
an invitation to an evening party, natur
ally led him to be concise and finished-to
have beautiful bon mot in the exact mid
die of beautiful expanse of white

vations chiefly for the benefit of my friend
Penloper, whose comparative failure rs a
