Gigantic Quadrupedal Bird.

The Connecticut River sandstone is
the geological wonderland of the New
England states. The bad lands of Wy
oming and South Dakota have rocks
and fine clays that are literally filled
with the remains of antediluvian mons
tiers, but they all appear to have be-
longed to the order of four-footed
mammalia. The prehistoric monsters
Of the Connecticut valley were also of
the four-footed kind, but were prob
ably the oldest creatures OF hat class
that ever walked. These old-time
freaks were birds of a size larger than
any horse that now exists; but birds
though they were, they walked on four
legs, just as any other q%uadruped does.
No remains of these creatures have
ever been found other than their tracks,
dozens of which have been found on
sandstone and carefully gotten out and
sent to the large museums of the
world. The bird tracks recently found
at Hastings, England, are as canary
tracks to those of an ostrich when COM
pared with the gigantic impressions
left by the four-footed bird of the Con-
necticut Valley.

Love Stronger Than Death.

That was a touching story told by
Mr.. Disraeli when announcing the
death of The Princess Alice in Parlia-
ment. She had been cautioned by the
physician not to inhale the breath of
her little boy, who was i'll with diph-
liberia. The little fellow was tossing
III his bed in the delirium Of fever. The
princess stood by the side of her child
and laid her hand On his brow, and be-
gan to caress him. The touch cooled
the fevered brain and brought the
wandering soul back from it's wild de-
llrium to nestle for a moment in the
lap of a mothers love. Then throw
Ing his arms around her neck he whis-
pered, Mamma, kiss me- The in
stlnct of a mothers love is stronger
than science, and she pressed her lips
TO those of her child. And yet there
is not a woman il all the wide world
but would say she would not have had
a mothers heart if she had not kissed
her BARN. And SO it will be to the
end of time. The mother will kiss her
child, the wife her husband and the
lover his sweetheart, though death in
q thousand forms lie concealed be-
meath the vermilion coloring of the
pouting lips.

Half a Point.

A gentleman crossing the English
channel stood neal the helmsman. 1t
was a calm and pleasant evening, and
no n dreamed of a possible danger to
their good ship, but a sudden Tapping
of sail, as if the wind had shifted,
caught the ear of the officer on watch,
and he sprang at once to the wheel, ex-
aiming closely the compass.
you are half a point off the course"
he said, sharply, to the man at the
wheel.
The deviation was corrected, and the
officer returned to his post.
You must steer very accurately"
said the looker-on, when only half a
point is so much thought Of"
"Ah, half a point in many places
might bring US directly on the rocks"
he said.
So it is il life. Half a point from
strict truthfulness strands us upon the
rocks of f%alsehood. Half a point from
perfect honesty, and we are steering
right for the rock of crime.

Big Room In Cabbage Leaves.

1.-THE hot spell has been good for me
in one way" said an uptown produce
dealer. You know there is a popular
belief in the county that cabbage
leaves will protect one from sunstroke.
That belief has beer communicated to
the city, and the idea has cropped out
wonderfully in the past few days. You
know it's only the green leaves that
are supposed to be protectors, and the
only thing for a person to do who
wants n of them in n hurry to put
under his hat is is to buy a whole head
of cabbage. Truckmen and street
cleaners are my best customers this
week. Yesterday afternoon a half doz-
en- of the latter came in here, bought
four heads of cabbage, divided the
green leaves. and, with helmets stuffed
with them, went confidently back to
their broiling work New York

The Value of LITERARY History.

Literary history belongs to the do
main of fact just as much as geography
does, and the ability on the part of a
child to reel off the names of authors
and their dates is just as useless as his
ability to tell the capital of Bolivia or
to draw a map of Afghanistan. A Ger
tain amount of literary history is use
ful,-the amount given in MIR. Stop
ford Brooke's and Prof. Richardson's
primers and in Mr.. Brander Mathews
volume on American literature,-but
not a bit more, for as intellectual
training literary history is not SO eff

Bird Colonies.

Within the Arctic circle are the
great bird colonies. The largest and
most remarkable is that of Svaerholt
Klubben.
Every inch of this wonderful cliff,
which rises about a thousand feet from
the waters edge, and is of considerable
greater breadth, may be said to be
used by the birds. The discharge of a
small cannon in the immediate neigh
borhood will darken the air with mil
lions of birds, but even then a field
glass will reveal the innumerable
Lodges white with undisturbed millions.
These consist almost entirely of the
small gull (Rissa tridactyla), and they
are a source of considerable income to
the owner of the colony, who lives at
the little fishing station close by.
About the middle of May every year, by
means of a long ladder placed against
the foot of the cliff, he proceeds to col
lect the eggs. Of these there are at
most three to each nest, and the mum
Der taken averages from 5000 to TO-
600 annually, or the produce of, say,
1000 pair of birds. Ropes are cot used
for this purpose of Svaerholt, as they
are in the Farce isles, so that the
highest of the above figures represents
only a very small percentage of the
yearly production of the colony, as far
the greater portion of the cliff face,
where the nests are packed as closely
as they can be, remains absolutely I'M
touched.
The food of these m%ultitudes of birds
during the summer months consists for
the most part of fish spawn (more par
ticularly that of Goldfish, which is
abundant in these northern waters),
and of the small crustacea, which are
driven to and fro by the currents along
the coast in immense masses. To the
latter belong the tiny organisms Gala
nus Finmarchicus and Uphausia liner
mis-, the favorite food respectively of
the whales, Balaenoptera borealis and
B. Sinbadii, when these giants ap-
proach the mouths of the great fjords
in July and August. In winter the ia
nous cliff is completely deserted. By
the end of August the young gulls are
able to take care Of themselves, and all
take their departure, to return no more
until the following year in the month
of March.

A Wise Old Crow.

Gently and declares that an ordinary
well educated crow can count to TWEEN
ty. and that he has found a sentinel
crow, very old and very wise, that can
count to twenty-six. He made these
discoveries in a very interesting way.
Last summer he spent much time in
the mountains, where a cadet COM
pany of boys was camped. One Gay he
found a flock Of crows gathered around

THAT Reminds Me-"

A deaconess remarked one evening,
says the Deaconess Advocate, that a wo-
man she had that day called upon told
her with a %lugubrious face, that her
neighbor's child had died of spinal

enc said, THAT reminds me of a wom-

in%iscences were not in order.

and the five marched into the little
building and waited. No crows anne
back. Two of the boys went out. Still
no rows. Then the other two went
out and only the naturalist remained.
But the old sentinel crow had evil
IDENTIFY counted them as they went in,
and he knew they had not all come out.
So he sat on a dry pine stump and
said: Cav, cav" quite derisively. At
last the naturalist left the building. and
straightway all the crows returned.
This experiment was repeated a num-
her of times with varying numbers of
boys, but the crows kept count, and
would not come down until the build
ing was entirely empty.
At last a whole platoon of the cadets,
t~wenty-six boys in all, and the natural
list, marched into the old building. Then
slowly twenty of them went away. The
crows did not stir. Two more, four
more, five more went, but the old SEN
tinel warned his companions that the
men had not all gone. Then the TWEEN
ty-sixth cadet marched away, leaving
only the naturalist. In a few minutes
there were a number of hopeful caws
and a Hopping of wings and the crows
returned. The old sentinel could evil
IDENTIFY count twenty-six, but numbers
beyond this puzzled him. The expert
ment was tried several times more,
and it was found that the crows could
keep the count without difficulty up to
twenty, but beyond that they were I'M
certain. This shows that the GRO is a
very wise old bird.

for mending a silk waist: Use ravel-

darn fiat and trust to careful pressing.
If a bone begins to show through, do
not mend but cut off the Done an inch.
If the silk wears off around the hooks
and eyes, move them along ever so lit
