CuriOSitieH About SnOX.

The pure white luster of snow is due
to the fact that all the elementary col
ors OF light are blended together in the
radiance that is thrown off from the
surface of the various crystals. More
than thousand distinct and perfect
forms of snow crystals have been
enumerated and figured by the vari-
GUS Investigators in that line. One

DaSSers for Women.

A prominent jeweler says that he
sells many daggers to women. These
are not ornaments, but serious weap-
ons. They are just large enough to
slip easily inside woman's gown.
Some women have these made to order,
when they are lavishly adorned and
incrusted with precious stones They
are frequently carried in travelling.
when they are intended as weapons Of
defense. They are preferred to re-
volvers, which are likely to go off sum-
marily and in the wrong direction.

Birds Killed by Unkind Words.

It is well known that birds are SEN
sitive to tones of the voice and are ter
rified at loud, angry words. A lady
who wished to make bobolink stop
singing, at last scolded it in loud
voice, and then took up a scarf and
shook it in rebuke at the Gagged bird
In moment the bird was still, but a
short time after made a futtering
about the cage. Its owner turned to
The bird, and was shocked to see it fall
dead. We know of two cases similar
to this. In one case canary bird and in
the other q mocking bird died within
five minutes after having been spoken
to in Violent angry tone.

Country BOYS In Luck.

A heavy snow fall brought a
calamity in curious way to the
Chinese pheasants that are to be found
in some parts of the Northwest The
sleet and snow stuck to their long tails
in such q way that they were unable
to fly. The country boys captured the
birds by the dozen, and as they are
said to be worth $40 a pair alive and
In good condition, some of the boys
consider themselves very wealthy.
