THE WINGS OF BIRDS.

M. de Lucy, French naturalist, has
shown that the wing area Of flying
animals varies from about forty nine
square fee! per pound of weight in the
shallow, to half square per pound Of
weight in the Australian crane, which
weighs twenty one pounds, and yet
flies we'll. If we were to adopt the
last or smallest proportion, a man
weighing twelve stone would require
pair of wings each of them fourteen
feet long by three feet broad. or double
the area of an ordinary room door, to
carry him, without taking into account
the weight of the wings themseles. To
pick out other aeriel instances, it may
not be generally knowo that a frigate-
bird can travel at the rate OF hundred
miles an hour by cronograph, anc live
in the air week at a time, day and
night. without touching roost; that
large and heavy birds can remain
almost motionless in the air for hours
without Tapping their wings that birds
can exert continuously about three
times the horse power per pound OF
weight that man can, and about the
same amount more than horse can.

WHAT SHALL WE HAVE FOR
DINNER.


What shall we have for dinner?'' DO not ask
me that again.
1 am so sick and weary of that merciless refrain
It's meat, potatoes and dessert-dessert, potatoes

Till 1 think Chinese diet might be joy and
treat
What shall We have for dinner" 1 hear seven
times week,
And now it would be relief to have it asked In
Greek.
Why is it people must have food? Housekeeping
would be sweet.
But for that one recurring thought:-"What can
l get to eat?"
II we were like the fairies, and could thrive on
honeydew,
This world would be Paradise. with pleasures
ever new.

entreat
The goddesses untiringly for Something good

ing ink
might give
Some hints for the survivors, who indeed must
eat to live.
For now not only through the day. but in my
dreams at night,
l try to plan some odd means, the palate to
delight.
And still my tortured brain can think OF nothing
else to eat
But meat, potatoes and dessert-dessert, po:a-
toes meat.

TELLING TIME WITHOUT 4
WATCH.

Actual and repeated experiments
have shown that the nearest hour of
the day or night may be ascertained
in the following very curious way:
Make small running loop in a
piece OF sewing thread about foot
in length, place quarter a dollar
in this loop; see that the coin is
accurately bisected by the thread,
and then draw the loop tight up so
that the coin is firmly slung at one
end OF the thread.
Put on solid table a glass tumb-
Ter with fairly wide mouth. Rest
your right elbow on the table in a
firm and easy position so as to avoid
any shakiness in your hand, hold the
other end of the thread between the
first finger and the ball of the thnmb
II. e. the fleshy top joint OF the
thumb-so that the thumb nail is
undermost and a few inches above
the middle of the mouth of the
glass.
Now, if you keep your hand quite
steady, the movement of the coin
which is hanging inside the tumbler
will become less and less until the
quarter is motionless. Then in halt
minute or so, a very slight and
regular vibration will commence
the coin oscillating from side to
side like pendulum, and gradually
increasing the length of movement
until it gently strikes the side of the
glass.
This strike goes on in the most
regular and automatic waY-hrst on
one side OF the glass and then on the
other-until say eight strokes have
been struck; the vibrations of the
coin again become motionless and it
hangs in the middle OF the tumbler.
You look at your watch and find
that eight O'Clock is the nearest
hour.
There is something very curious
about this phenomenon. Whether
the thread is influenced by the pulse
in the ball of the thumb, or whether
there is some unconscious transfer
ence Of intention from the brain to
the thread is not known; but in any
case, the matter is sufficiently inter
esting to be worthy of a critical test
by persons who will carefully and
without bias carry out this singular
experiment of telling the time.

THE MAJORS STORY.
by Gilbert L. Overson.

A cold, wet night. Seet, rain and
snow strive with each other to make
Washington weird and dreary. The
city editor had detailed me to watch
for the arrival of Senator-- at his
hotel and get, if possible, an inter-
view from him covering the existing
political status, in order that the readers
of the progressive newspaper on the
reportorial staff of which had recently
been placed might have the benefit of
his powerful horoscope with their toast
and eggs the next morning.
The detail was not dissgreeable-
much better, thought, than would
have been anything exposing me to
the unfrendly elements then domlnat-
ing the streets. | went 10 the Senator's
hotel, but he had not yet arrived. l
settled down in an easy lobby chair to
await him and to have quiet read and
smoke, but with the instinct of my
craft mad an eye and an ear to spare
for passing words, persons and events.
Sitting near me was grizzled and
| heavily mustached man, we'll on the
down grade of life. He had the
ear marks of a son of Mars whose
career had not been passed among the
glitter and tinsel of eastern service.
Finishing my paper and being inclined
to chat, l made an excuse to relight
my cigar at his, and through this com.
mon form Of acquaintances amcng
men began a conversation that | can
not even at this late day recall without
a shudder.

question, nave seen some pretty hard

wasn't business.

Yes, said Jake, vaguely, but it
wasn't business.
Perhaps not Mr.. Mallery. but |
fail to see why business shouldn't be
fair dealing.
Seems like it is almost impossible
to carry on business and go by the
Golden Rule. said Jake. | guess
its because we have all come to think
so. Maybe the other way would be
better after all
The doctor went back to his office
muttering about foolish woman
but some how Mrs. Marlow's act
kept returning to his mind that day
and he, too, wished it we're possible
to change the existing order of
things.
Mrs. Marlow's son had remained
quiet but interested listener. When
they reached the house he helped
his mother down, fairly carrying her
to the steps; then TO her surprise
she saw a tender look come into his
eyes: Mother, you're a brick !!
That's the best preaching l ever
heard. That's what | call real live
doxology.

A SURE CURE.

1t IS told of Hannah More that she
had a good way of managing tale-bear.
ers. 1t is said that whenever she was
told anything derogatory to another her
invariable reply was, "Come, we will 60
and ask if this be true" The effect was
sometimes ludicrously painful. The
le-bearer was taken aback, stam-
mered out qualification, or begged
that no notice might be taken of the
statement. But the good lady was
inexorable off she took the scandal
monger to the scandalized to make
inquiry and compare accounts. 1t is

BUSINESS HONESTY VS.. BIBLE
HONESTY.
BY MARIE ]. HESSE.

Mrs. NARROW had just driven her
horse before DR.. Meuller's door and
called him out.
l want you 10 see Dolly's eye,
Doctor,it looks so sore and inhamed.
After a series of pokings and press
ings about the injured member, and
lifting the eye to peer into it, inters-
persed with encouraging words and
pats, for Dolly resented such famil-
iarity, the doctor turned from his
interesting investigation to the
owner.
Well, well, Mrs. NARROW, this is
bad! Wehre did you get this animal?
Without noticing his question she
asked anxiously, Why Doctor, what
is the matter; nothing serious, trust
You don't mean that Dolly will be
blindP
Yes madam, that's what | mean.
Its like this you see-here the doctor
went into details about peculiar and
insldious disease OF the eye which
was fatal, and always meant total
blindness.
Where did you get herr repeated
the doctor.
Why from Deacon Dunton.
Alb! slowly calculated he. This
IS the third case l have had from his
farm.
But Deacon Dunton didn't know
OF this, for he assured me Dolly was
sound.
Perhaps not, slowly assented the
doctor. But it was mean trick to
sell her to woman, he quickly
added.
Mrs. NARROW wondered, woman
fashion, why it was any worse to sell
bad horse to a woman than to
man.
I'll tell you what you can do, Mrs.
NARROW, I'll treat her eye carefully
and then in six weeks, perhaps inside
of a month, her eye will look as well
as the other, and then is your time
to sell her. The doctor looked pre-
foundly satisfied with his advice.
Sell her, hesitated Mrs. NARROW,
why no one will want her with this
disease.
Oh no one will suspect it after
nv treatment, exclaimed the doc
tor.
But, Doctor, urged Mrs. NARROW
innocently, when tell what your
decision is2
But you mustn't tell, persisted
he.
| couldn't do that; why tha
wouldn't be honest! and Mrs. Mar
low looked grieved that her trienc
had misunderstood her so.
Honest blurted the doctor, O
course its honest. Why its business
When he saw the look of genuine
surprise on her face, he added: Oh
of course, if you have any scruple
YOU needn't sell her to friend or
neighbor; but go down to Jacl
Mallery, the horse buyer, and he'l
take her quick at your own figure
She is a fine animal, and he patte
Dollys sleek side and beamed at Mr.
NARROW, as though to dispel from he
narrow horizon every cloud OF dout

IAN HAS WHEELS.


He Was . Professor In Notre Dame
University.
Minneapolis, July 16.-The unknown
irsone man found on the streets Friday
was found to be q John b. Zan, that
name being on his shirt. He is re-
markably fluent man, speaking English,
French, Italian and Spanish with pure
accent, and appears to be of the better
class. He could not be prevailed upon
to talk of himself or his past history,
confining bis conversot ton to religious sub
jects. He was committed to the asylum
at St. Peter. Father Cleary went to
the Jail and held conversation with the
unfortunate man, learning that he was q
professor in the Notre Dame university
at South Bend, Ind. He stated that he
had let himself down from window
twenty-five feet above the ground, BY
means of tying his bed blankets to-
sether. He then purchased the clothing
he now wears ~ disguise, and boarded
. train. From that time his wanderinss
began.
