Falcons as Messengers.

The experiments of Col. Smollon, O.
the Russian army, with falcons as car
riers of dispatches have proved success
full and the Russian army hereafter
will employ them in preference to the
ordinary ''homing' birds. The colonel
has found that the falcon can carry
l,04O grams without diminishing its
rate of speed, which is considerably
greater than that of the pigeon. The
falcons, he says, are less likely to fall
prey to other birds, as they are better
fighters than the pigeons. 1t is on rec
ord, according to the officer, that a
falcon once flew from the Canary
islands to the estates of the duke OF
Larma in Spain. 1t seems highly prob
able that the falcon will become the
servant of other European armies.-N

Tho water Hen.

The water hen, which is found from
Siberia to the Capes seems able to
adapt itself, like human being, to
any climate. An English lady, having
fed hen and her mate, had the pair
for regular visitors. They became quite
tame, built their nest in thorn-bush
covered with ivy, which had fallen
into the water, and, when the young
were a few days old, the parents
brought them up close to the drawing.

they learned to look upon her as their

would, when attacked, fly to her for
refuge. Whenever she called the whole

The Mnnuracture OF selssors.

Though no complexities are involved
in the making of scissors, yet the pro-
cess is very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness, each blade being cut off with
sufficient metal to form the shank, or
that destined to become the cutting
part and bow, or that which later on is
fashioned into the holding portion
For the bow sInall hole is punched,
and this is afterward expanded to the
proper size by hammering it on conf
cal anvil, after which both shanl, and
bow are filed into more perfect shape
and the hole bored in the middle for
the rivet. The blades are next ground
and the handles fled smooth and bur-
nished with oil and emery, after which
the pairs are fitted together and tested
as to their easy working. They are not
finished, however. They have to under
go hardening and tempering, and be
again adjusted, after which they are
finally put together again and polished
for the third time. In comparing the
edges Of knives and scissors 1t will be
noticed, of course, that the latter are
not in any way SO sharply ground Al

His Mothers Joy.

Presence of mind is gift not pos.
sessed by people in common. There is,
however, a young man, very young
man, who lives in the west end of this
city, who possesses it in a rare degree.
His name is s. A. Martin, and he is his
mothers pride. Recently he has been
coming home late at night, and has
caused his mother no little uneasiness
First he began by coming in about 80
p m, when the clock in the hall was
striking the half hour. Not much at.
tention was paid to that and Martin
staid out later. Usually when he came
in the noise would wake his mother,
and she would ask the time. 1t was
always about 11:30 in the answer.
There are two clocks in the Martin res
idence, hall and parlor clocks. One
morning this young man came in just
as the clock struck four. His mother
asked the time, adding: II know it's
past twelve"
"Yes, mamma, it's two o'clock this
morning"
Two! Why, that clock has just
struck four"
"Oh, no, mother; that was both
clocks striking you heard"
And mother was satisfied. st. Louis

and his face flushed and he smiled con.
fidently, for the first card dealt 70 him
was n fve-spot and he now held q
pair. The teacher drew the deuce u
diamonds. Bart showed his elation
when the next card that fell before
him proved to be the five spot Of clubs
He now had three fves, and he was
sure the game was his. TO the teacher
fell the four spot of spades Her luck
was, indeed, wretched, but she didn't
seem to be the least Disconnected as she
looked over at Bart's pair Of fives and
then down Mt her sevcn-spot high. The
last turn came and the queen OF clubs
fell in front of Bart, and the seven spot
of spades was the teachers draw. She
had pair of seven spots in sight.
Bart smiled. "Your luck came late"
he said. "Im afraid ,.W,ll lose the
kiss, for here's another five. He turned
up the first card and it gave him thre,
fivcs.
'You did well. SIR" said the teacher,
'but I've got another seven spot here,
and / believe three of these are better
than your fives" She turned up the
roll card and sure enough it was a
seven spot.
Bart was set back for an instant, but
when he realized that he had been
fairly beaten he smiled and, helping
the teacher to her feet, said: Gentle
men, I've lost mighty big stake.
Come up here, one at a time, and get
what belongs to you out of that hat" "
The passengers joyfully obeyed the
order. Bart retained their firearms.
In few moments the passengers were
in the coach and were going up the
trail with dash.

again, however, on the opposite side
of the pavement, and swiftly followed
them to the center of the town. She
saw them enter a gate next to church,
and mount the steps of quiet red

the parsonage. How her heart beat!

The Sailor Hat.

The summer hat for wearing with all
kinds of outing dresses is the sailor hat,
which is seen this season in two shapes,
one very English, the other distinctly
French. AS the English people are
most given to yachting, their taste in
such matters is better worth following,
and the preference here is given to the
wide-brimmed English sailor hat of
white straw, with simply band around
the crown of white satin ribbon with a
fiat bow on the left side. Paris hats in
sailor shape of wilite or black glazed
leather have q very narrow brim, and
are trimmed with white and gold gal
loon around the crown of white hats,
or with cluster of violets or other
small blossoms II the hat is black. Still
another fancy is that of putting box
plated ruche of black or white lace
around the crown of ecru straw sailor
hats. and adding q white veil of dotted
net that drops below the chin.-Har.

Germ Theory of Disease,

De Foe seems to have been acquainted
with this theory, and not to have
thought much OF it. In his "Journal
of the Plague Year" he refers to the
talk there was "of infection being car.
ried on by the Air only, by carrying
with it vast Numbers of Insects, and
invisible Creatures, who enter the Body
with the Breath, or even at the Pores
with the Air. and there generate, or
emit most accute Poisons, or poisonous
Oy@, or Eggs, which mingle themselves
with the Blood, and so affect tho
Body" In De Foes opinion this was

ity, and manifested to be so by univer-

arrival they had been occupied by a
dentist.

The doctor did not quite recall what

politely requested Nora to walk into
the operating room and get ready.
This, in the language of the chiropo.

The child seated herself in the QUITE,

little room where Nora was awaiting
him.
There she sat leaning back in the big
chair with nervous expression upon
her face, but without any change in
her attire. The doctor was trifle
surprised, but he supposed this was {

"Just remove your shoe and stock

Looking out acioss the land

On distant domo and spire,
And heard low voice calling:
"Como up higher, come up higher,
From the lowland aod the miro,
From the mist Of earth desire,
From the vain pursuit OF pelf,
From the attitude OF self;
Come up higher, como ap higher

Though eternal SHOWS have crowned US;
Think not that we are old,
Though the ages die around us;
Underneath our breasts of snow
Silver fountains sing and flow;
We reflect the young days bloom
While the valleys sleep In gloom;
We receive the newborn storms
On our rugged rock-mailed forms,
And res tore the hungry lands
With our rivers and our sands.

And the oceans wild embraces
And the elemental wars
