know birds by their air as well as
by their colors and shape; on the
ground as well as on the wing, and
in the bush as well as in the hand.
For though every kind Of bird has
not a manner peculiar 10 itself, there
is certain something about almost
all of them by which you can tell
them under almost any circum-
stances.
In the country you may see kites
and buzzards. They sail around in
circles. with wings spread, but still.
From this habit of gliding they are
called "gleads" in the north of Eng
land.
Owls move in a buoyant manner,
as il lighter than the air. Ravens
when on the wing spend much time
striking each other, and often turn
on their backs with loud croak,
and seem TO be falling to the ground.
In fact they are scratching them
selves with one foot and have lost
their center Of gravity. Crows and
DAVIS swagger in their walk. Wood
peckers fly opening and closing their
wings, and so are always rising or
falling in curves. When they run
up trees they use their tails, which
incline downward as a sort Of sup
port. Most of the small birds fly by
jerks, rising and falling as they ad-
vance, and most of these hop; but
wagtails and larks walk. Skylarks
rise and fall perpendicularly as they
sing. Woodlarks hang poised in the
air, and titlarks rise and fall in large
curves, singing as they come down.

Overfed Child rem.

Many young children suffer from
overfeeding. Mothers eager for their
babies to become fat, or fearful that
their crying may be from hunger, un-
Willingly feed them too often.
4 child of between six weeks ana
six months of age should not be fed
oftener than once in three hours,
From six months to ten months it
should not be fed more than six
times in the twenty four hours,
and at intervals Of three hours.
during the daytime. At ten months,
five times in the twenty-four hours.
Is sufficient for healthy children.
The stomachs of most children who
are too frequently fed become
irritable and incapable of retaining
food, while milk fed in this way by
the mother becomes so altered as to
afford less nourishment than it
should.
Other children too frequently fed
will continue to digest and absorb
the excess of food given them and as
a consequence will accumulate fat !;
some times showing the result Of
overfeeding merely in eczematous, or
scaly, patches on the cheeks, or
even over the whole face and head.
When intestinal disorders result,
as in the end they surely will, from
too frequent feeding, the child will be
really hungry; the surplus food act
ing as an rritant in the intestines is
expelled before a sufficient amount
for nourishment becomes absorbed.
The child will then waste away, and
if such treatment be persisted in
and if it survives-will surely become
a victim to chronic intestinal dis
orders.
Mothers cannot be too deeply inn
pressed with the importance Of reg
ular feeding at proper Intervals

An Australian mining journal is
responsible for the following story
A miner in that country, who was
obtaining fine gold by slucing was
asked how he saved it. He replied
that he employed the common ANAL
gamation process, but used novel
and ingenious retort for the purpose.
After amalgamating with quicksilver,

"cut of one end, and scoop out
cavity in il large enough TO take my
ball Of amalgam. ! next take a spade
or piece Of fat iron, and place that

And little sign-post stood on the

With four little paths from all around,
And If you could choose TO 60 either

But wherever you went you knew you

And still through the woods, but far

And if springtime lay at the fourth

SWEEThEARTS STILL.
And So They Repeated the Mes
saoes Of Lone Aoo.

There are in this city man and a
woman who have been sweethearts for
seventeen years. two years before they
were married and fifteen since that
time. When they were young and
perhaps no more lovesick " than
most sweethearts usually are, they
lived in New Hampshire. He was a
country boy who was ambitious and
worked hard, SO that he could not see
the parsons pretty daughter down at
the foot OF the valley so often as he
could wish. But il was Just as hard
for him TO 90 for day without talk
ing 10 her as for any young man OF
the modern age who calls in evening
dress and spoons increasingly and
untiringly.
This young country boy, who was
SO determined a chap that afterward
in New York he climbed way up 20 the
top OF the heap in his business, went
out one night and strung wire from
tree TO tree down the wooded valley
to the parsons house. Then he got
some telegrapher's instruments, ad-
justed one in his house and one down
where the parson wrote his sermons
and the maid her love letters, and the
two set to work 10 learn telegraphy.
Afterward till they were married they
cooed over an electric wire when he
could not come down from the farm

TURTLES AS PETS.

Fresh-water turtles make interest
ing pets. They live in marshy
ground and lie dormant in winter to
avoid cold, but summer vacation is Il
good time TO find them. If kept in
a warm place turtle will remain
lively all winter. Partly fill tank
with fresh water for the turtle to
live in, making some sort of an ISL
and for him to rest on. Spile of tiles
or bits of marble will do, or better
still, a brick that just comes above
water. On one end fasten a sponge,
sown with bird seed, grass seed, or
whatever will sprout in a damp place.
Part of the sponge must touch the
water to keep it moist. Cover the
rest Of the brick with moss, and have
one or two water plants growing be-
side it if you want it pretty.
A flower-pot piled round with
stones and filled with earth, in which
seeds are sown, makes another good
island. Feed a turtle every day, not
once in while, whenever you think
Of it-even if he can go long time
without eating. He will like live
flies. worms and little fish. Raw
meat cut in bits makes substitute
for them. Vegetables and bread are
also good for him, if he will eat them.
Supply fresh water to the tank by
taking out a cupful each day, putting
more in. Unless something dies in
the tank all the water will not need
changing at once.
A turtle will learn to come up for
food at the sound of taps on the
glass, and will snap at it if waved
before him on brown straw when
he is on his island. IL Atlanta Con-
stitution.

seemed to open and a shaft of fire
descended upon the massive pile. 1t

The building was parted and stood
a tottering mass OF ruins.

lulled-the conflict was over. The

A SUSPICIOUS MEXICAN
Makes a Fight on an officer With
Knife

About O'Clock this morning Officer
GuIwest made the arrest of a Mexican
named MeteriO Delgado and placed him
in the city Jail as a suspicious char
acter.
At the hour above stated while Iatrol-
ing his beat the officer discovered that a
box car had been entered and robbed.
He watched closely and soon discovered
the Mexican coming out of the car. He
approached him and placed him under
arrest. The Mexican pulled from his
pocket large butcher knife and made
every effort to stab the officer but was
not successful, the latter being too
active.
Delegado was arraigned before the re-
corder this morning and fined $25 for
carrying knife. The case against him
for being suspicious character was
transferred, and he is now in the county
jail in default of bond, awaiting the ac
ton of the grand Jury.
