intruded egg is so like it's fellow as
to be hardly distinguishable except in
it's slightly larger size. 1t is doubtful
whether the sparrow in particular, ow-
ing to it's similarity, ever realizes the
deception. Indeed. the event Is pos
sibly considered the cause Of self con-
graduation rather than otherwise-at
least until her eyes are opened by the
fateful denouement Of a few weeks
later. And thus the American COW bird
outcuckoos the cuckoo as an attendant
on the spring." taking her pick among
the nurseries Of featherdom, now vic-
timizing the oriole by a brief sojourn
in the swinging hammock in the elm,
here stopping a moment to leave her
charge to the care Of the indigo bird,

wink. And, uneccountable as 1t may
appear, here we. find the same deadly
token safely lodged in the dainty cob
web nest of the vireo, a fragile pendant

which in itself would barely appear
sufficiently strong to suspend the
weight Of a cowbird without emptyinS

TRAFFIC REVOLUTION
InaUgurated in Suburban Service
by an Ohio Road.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. ia deal
was closed here today by which the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Rail-
way company purchased the street
railway lines Of Middletown, o. The
street car tracks will be connected with
the tracks Of the steam railway and
through cars will be operated from all
parts of Middletown to Hamilton with
electricity, a distance of fifteen miles.
The most modern Equipment will be
adopted.
This step is but the initiative and will
be followed by an extension of the
system as rapidly as circumstances
will permit, to Cincinnati and Dayton
Recognizing that the public demands
low rates and trains at shorter inter-
walls than is practicable with the steam
motive power and heavy equipment
the Cincinnati, Hamilton, & Dayton
has decided to adopt a lighter equip
ment for the handling of short local
business in some of its most densely
populated territory, and 1t will not be
long before the electric service on this
line will be extended south of Hamil-
ton to Cincinnati. This will bring
about q revolution in its suburban
business, which, under the present
methods, is the heaviest Of any line
running out of Cincinnati, and will
no doubt be followed by a very speedy
increase in the population of the
suburban villages stretching along the
Mill Creek valley.

MEN MAY LIVE A CENTURY.
What Scientists Prescribe in Order
to PrOlOng the Duration of Life.

1t is possible for a man to so regu-
late his life nowadays that he can cas-
lily live to be 100 years old. 1t depends
very largely on what is eaten after the
age of thirty-flve years is reached.
says the New York Journal
The first thing to do is to aviod food
that contains limelike properties. For
swear table d'hote dinners and live
strictly according to the rules of health.
Eat fruit Of all varieties. Fruit can
tains large amount of acid, and this
neutralizes the effect of those elements
which make old age creep fast upon
us. The next thing to avoid is bread.
It is queer that just the thing the
world eats most of it in a great degree
cOntributory to shortness Of human
existence, but medical science declares
this to be a fact. So we must cut
bread off the bill Of fare altogether.
Not long ago a German discovered
that all you had to do in order to live
forever was to eat a sufficiency of
lemons. There was only one objection
to the plan, but that was fatal. You
had to eat daily one lemon for each
seven years of your age. When, there
fore, you arrived at the second or
third century your length of life would
be of very little, use to you, for it would
take all your time ito eat the pre-
scribed quantity Of lemons.

what you eaG you must also be doubiy
discreet about what you drink. In the
Alps and in the Pyrenees there is a
race of people where boys become old
men at fifteen and die of old age at
thirty, all because they drink lime

the Chinese. drink only rain water, if
1t might seem a simple matter to
keep lime out of, theUsystem, but when
you come to examine the matter great
difficulties present themselves. Every
article Of food contains lime All veg
etables gather it up from the earth.
The cows and the sheep get lime from
the vegetables and man gets it from
both. Of course there are some articles
Of diet that are freer from lime than
others, and IL these only are chosen
then something can be done about
frightening the ordinary span Of life
Onions, the doctors say, are admir-
able youth preservers, and next to them
comes the great food Of the Eastern

WASPs ARE USEFUL.
A Swarm of Them XIII Five Hundred
Flies in Twenty Minutes.

BY common agreement the wasp is accepted
as mathematical Of irritabilty and petty
malignity; but even this much-abused hy-
menopterous insect plays beneficial part
in the work Of nature, says the st. Louis Post
Dispatch.
A number of wasps were seen by r. M.
harrington, an Irish naturalist, buzzing
about his cows. Closer inspection revealed
that they were all busy catching flies, and
bouncing with the rapdity Of hawks after
birds on the flies they tried to settle or
rest on some favorite part of the cow. One
white cow drew more wasps than any of the
others, because the moment a fly alighted
it was seen at once against the skin. When
a wasp catches fly 1t Immediately bites
off both wings, sometimes leg or two and
occasionally the head.
Mr.. harrington saw some of the wasps
when laden with one fly catch another with
out letting go the first, and then fly away
with both. There was a constant stream
of wasps carrying away flies, probably to feed
the larvae in their nests, and returning again
to the cows to catch more. In about twenty
minutes Mr.. Darlington estimated that be-
tween 800 and 400 flies were caught on two
COWS lying close to where he stood. Per-
haps this narrative Of good deeds accom-
plished will lead people to think more lenent-
ly Of the vices of the wasp.

WHEELS WOULDN'T co ROUND
W0rlmen Do Some JaiI-Breakinc in
Repairing Locks

The county commissioners have gone into
the Jall-breaking business upon quite a large
scale 1t was not on the quiet, however, and
throughout the afternoon the noise of the
hammer could be heard through the court
house and city hail. as the workmen tanned
thelr tools unspaTingly into the inner work
lnSs OF those immense locks to find out what
made the wheels refuse to go round
The fact Of the matter is. that the Jail locks
dc not work. The contractors are alleged to
have written a letter to the commission in
which they say that it is undoubtedly due
to some settling in the cages which makes
the contrivance refuse to work. Chairman
Conroy presented this letter to the county
auditor, who has it ready to present at the
next meeting of the board. There is some
thing wrong certainly, and as far as can
be learned now, large portions of the caging
will have to be taken apart to get at the
mechanism These contrivances are in plain
sight, yet they are so protected by the con-
strgctfon that it Is impossible to get to them
TO fix them in working order.
Workmen for the county have been Obliged
to cut huge holes in the cage work at places
IN order to get at certain parts that the
cells might be locked, but a general over
hauling is thought to be necessary.

STATE CONVENTION OF DRYS.
PrOhibitiOnists to Keep Up Their
Campaign.

The Prohibitionists of Minnesota announce
their intention of keeping up an educational
campaign for the next four years, and believe
that the issue to which they pin their hopes
will attract more attention during the next
presidential campaign than it did in the one
recently concluded.
A general reunion and rally Of the Pro-
hibition forces Of the state will be held
nxet Monday evening, at the residence of
H. G. Neal, Cromwell and University ave-
nues southeast While political matters will
be discussed the affair will be somewhat Of
a social nature. Rev. George F. Wells and
his wife, Of Hamline, will be the guests of
honor. Mr.. Wells is secretary Of the state
league, and has devoted much time and money
to the Prohibition cause in Minnesota, and his
associates desire to testify their appreciation
of his efforts.
The idea Of holding meeting to review the
campaign Just past and outline plans for
the future, originated with the W. c. T. u.
women of this city. They are arranging the
affair, and the Prohibition campaign com
mlttee is aiding them. The majority Of the
guests will be from Minneapolis and St Paul.
but invitations have been sent to Prohibit
uonlsts throughout the state and fairly rep
resentative gathering is expected. No special
programme has been arranged. There will be
music, informal discussion and refreshments.
1t Is expected that q plan of work for the
future viii be decided upon.

MANY LUMINOUS PLANTS. 9

Several varieties Of the vegetable
kingdom are luminous in a greater or
less degree, says the Boston Traveller.
One Of the fungi, which is not at all
uncommon on the walls Of damp, dark
mines, caverTs, etc, occasionally enitS
sufficient light to admit Of the reading
of ordinary print by it. The emission
OF. light from a common potato when
in a state of decomposition Is some
times very striking. Several of the
Italian plants and grasses are also
luminous, and it is said that in 1S4a
the mountains near Syree were nightly
Illuminated by their means. The root
stock of a plant from the Ooraghum
jungle, supposed to be an orchid, pos
sesses the peculiar property of becom-
ing luminous when wetted while when
dry it is quite lusterless. The hairy
red poppy, the nasturtium and tbs
double marigold are also luminous to
certain degree.

SCORED THE FLAG.
Remarkable Language Used by DIR.
Curry Before COlOred Students.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 19.-Dr. j. NJ
Curry, eX-ninister to Spain and trustee
of the Peabody and Slater funds, made
an address today before the colored
students of Shaw university here, in
which he used this rather startling
language: Il don't believe much in
the idea Of having the United States
flag over our school houses. l would
like to know what the United States
government has done for our public
schools in North Carolina to demand
that the flag should hang over them.
1t never gave a cent to North Carolina
schools. 1t is deception and a fraud
to put the flag there. 1t is the state
that gives you education
Speaking of the negro, he said Il
never could understand why the negro
population remains SO compact in the
South, instead Of becoming scattered
all over the Union. The Northern men
freed the negro. Why is it the negro
does not go North to be with his
friends, instead of shaving in the South
among his enemies?"

the squash, the last line of which read:
