man and the internal revenue depart
ment are clashing on the liquor ques-
tion. Collector Townes recently noti-
fled the governor that whisky seized
by the dispensary was liable to seizure
under the United States statutes, and
Gov Tillman told the collector that if
he attempted to seize liquor confiscated
by the dispensary he would go to the
courts, and If they decided against him
he would still seize it and dump it into
the streets. The governor declared
that Townes was acting under instruc-

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
FATHER KlNGElshER.
How He Builds His Nest and Provides FOL
His Family.

How He Builds Iiis Nest and Provides for
His Family.
"It is getting towards spring" SAYS
Father Kingdsher. "Time to think of
another nest"
Father Kingfsher is handsome fell
low. He is of dull blue back and breast
marked with black. His under parts
are white and he has black tail feath-
ers with curious white lines across
them. His pretty blue head is long
and adorned with tuft of feathers.
Ills nest is not little affair, woven
OF sticks and grasses, like the majority
of birds.
"Tlike to live near a quiet mill pond"
says Father Kingfsher, 'and there I
dig good tunnel, perhaps six or eight
feet long, in the side of the sandy bank
At the end of this tunnel let Mother
Kingfisher arrange the nursery. l
bring her plenty of good, clean fish
bones to make the cradles for the lit
tie ones. They make the most COM
Portable beds in the world-for little
Kingfishers."
1t is on account of meals that Father
Kingfsher finds the sand bank n good
place for home. He sits for hours on
dry limb or a high post overlooking
the water. When his sharp eyes spy a
fish swimming below him he darts
down and seldom misses striking his
prey. Then, with the fish in his beak,
he mounts again to his perch and beats
the fish against the tree or post until
its spine is broken.
Father Kingfsher does not look as
If he enjoyed his dinner. He swallows
it in great gulps, dislocating his neck
and jerking his body and wings during
the process. But he is a good pro-
wider, although it is to be hoped that
the little lIingfshers do not tire of a
fish diet, for they get little else.
The kingfishers are large, noisy and
assertive birds. They dash across the
water, looking like long blue streak
in their swift fight. When they spy
the fish for which they have been
watching they dart down, plunging
into the water with sudden dash.
The little kingfshers lie warm and
snug in their dry, sandy hole. No |
doubt they think it far pleasanter
than the most daintily woven nest in
the top of the tallest tree!-N. Y.

There is u cat in the seclusion of
Hampton Court, England, which has

for her chief diet scarlet runner beans
Cucumbers she also likes, and carrots,

But, for some inscrutable reason, this

VERY CLEVER TRICK.

How to Boil Water with the Heat of
Ones Hand.
A very clever trick whereby cold
water may be made to appear to boil
from the heat of the hand is easily
managed by the boy magician.
Take tumbler and fill it three-quar-
ters full of water. Show your audience
that is ordinary cold water. or ice
water, if you choose. Cover this with
coarse linen handkerchief, allowing
its center to fall to the surface of the
water.
Place the palm of the hand tightly
over the top of the tumbler and gently
invert it with the right hand, which
will hold it in the air after the left

hand is removed. The edges of the
handkerchief are to be firmly held
around the side of the glass, and when
the inversion is complete it will be
found that not drop of water has
been spilled and that by the pressure
OF the outer air the handkerchief re-
tains its concave form in the glass.
Now with the left hand slowly and
firmly draw up the handkerchief ends
SO as to stretch it tightly over the
mouth of the tumbler, when, of course,
the water will follow it to the lowest
point, leaving vacuum above it.
This vacuum, being something al
ways abhorrent to nature, as we are
taught at school, must be filed at
once; hence the outer air will force
itself through the handkerchief and ND
through the water in rapid success
sion of bubbles. So lively will this be
that the operator will clearly feel the
vibrations in his hand, the audience
will hear the bubbling as of boiling
water, and If the glass be long and the
handkerchief properly arranged, so
that the glass is exposed to view be-
tween the four corners of the hand
kerchief, the violent disturbance NAV
plainly be seen, an exact counterpart
OF the steam bubbles in boiling water.
Ii this trick be introduced by appro-
pirate remarks and with the panto-
mime of rapidly rubbing the hands
together to generate high degree of
animal heat, it is very effective. Of
course, it is well to practice feu
times over basin until proficiency is
attained.-St. Louis Republic.

LAW OF HEREp!TY.

From Father to Son.
Tho progress of science has diffused
much knowledge without which man
OF to-day could scarcely endure exist
ence. AS we telephone the doctor, and
ne wnirls to the house on an electric
car or by rail- do we ever think of the
oay when doctors were not, or were
not so capable as now, and that the
average of human life has increased a
score of years in couple of centuries?
NO more, perhaps, than we stop to
consider that telephones, electric-cars
and locomotives were unknown to the
fathers of the revolution.
This Illustration shows that man
should be supremely grateful he is
living now, and not hundred years
ago' Another and most profound de-
Veiopment of scientific teaching is seen
IN the application of hereditary law as
governing the parental relations to
the child. Instincts, preiudices, pas
sions, tastes, habits, moralities and
immoralities are as surely handed from
sire to son as the color of the skin and
the shape of the nose.

upon the innocent to the third and
fourth generations. And the man who
represses soul to crafty sense is culti-
waiting apples of Sodom for some of his
future kinsfolk to eat.
But good is transmitted, too. The
