BIRDS SHOW AFFECTION.
Largest and Strongest of the Flock Help
the Little Ones.

Largest and Strongest of the Flock Help
the Little Ones
Numerous incidents have been recited
showing how the larger and stronger
animals have assisted and protected
smaller and weaker ones, says the New
York World.
Among the birds, however, there is a
practice which is Just as interesting as
any of the acts of consideration per.
formed by animals. A striking instance
of that is shown on the continent Of
Europe.
For smaller birds to attempt to fly
across the broad Mediterranean would
because of the inadaptability of Their
wings and powers of endurance, be i'm
possible. To reach warmer climate
through Asia Minor, Syria and Pales
tine would be quite as certain to result
in their death.
Through the kindliness of the crane
however, the small birds are enabled t.
reach the warmer climate with little
effort.
When the crane is about to migrate i
flies in wide circles close to the ground
uttering a loud and peculiar cry, as o.
alarm, and can be heard at great dis
lance. The small birds recognize it a:
a call for them, and they immediately
fly to the crane and take up position
on the cranes back. When he has al
the passengers he can carry comfort
ably the crane starts on his long jour
ney. Arrived in the warm south lands
the small birds fly from the back o
their friend and are safe for the winter

TWO YOUNG TRAVELLERS.
Boy and Girl Cross the Ocean Togethe
on the Rhynland.

Boy and Girl Cross the Ocean Together
on the Rhynland.
Among the passengers on board the
steamer Rhynland recently were two
little children, boy and a girl, who
were travelling alone to different points
in Ohio, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The boy was George Cough, nine years
old, bright sturdy, little fellow, who,
owing to the serious illness of his
mother had been sent from Harrington,
England, to be cared for by his Uncle
Jack" at Hammondville, Jefferson coun-
ty, O., until the mother again leaves the
hospital. The boy was well clothed
and very sedate. He was the proud pos
SCISSOR of $3.50 pocket money and APP
peared to feel rich.
The girl, in marked contrast to the
boy, was as wild as she is pretty, a
curly, fair-haired eight-year-old, Mabel
Blaney, of Walsell, England, who was
going to join her mother at 272 West
Sixth street, Cincinnati. Both children
had become great friends while crossing
and were familiar with almost all the
passengers. The boy took his place by
Chief Inspector Hughes desk, and as
the immigrants filed in front he would
correctly give the name of almost every
one. Each and everyone of the passen-
gers had kindly farewell for the little
lad.
On the pier the children Toasted on
such delicacies as were to be purchased
at the lunch counter and drank copious
draughts of soda water with evident
relish. They rushed hither and thither,
the girl always in the lead, and varied
their delight by occasional quarrels.
AS soon as the majority Of passengers
had left the pier the two children were
provided with railroad tickets, pro-
visions for the journey, and, after be-
ing duly tagged with the full directions
as to destination, they were turned over
to the railroad company's representa-
tive, their friends being duly notified by
telegraph of their coming.

THE INTERESTING BEETLE.

One Kind Carries q Cannon Loaded with
Fluid-The Dytiscus.
OF all the insects the beetles are the
most interesting. There is one that car
ries q cannon, which naval man would
call stern chaser, and is loaded with
fluid. When pursued the beetle fires
1t, and the other insect, usually car
niverous beetle, is blinded by the dis
charge Of fine, acid spray. Hence its
name Of bombardier. The latest thing
that has been learned about beetles is
that Dytiscus marginalis cuts it's way
through the shells Of snails and mol
lusks and eats the inhabitants.
w. B. Tegetmeier writes TO the Lon
don Field and tells about the curiosity
Of naturalists at finding shells mani
testify gnawed by some insect or other,
and the final discovery of Dytiscus mar
ginalis at work on the shell. Then he
tells some things about the Dytiscus
family. Says he:
"Iknow of no more interesting animal
In an aquarium than Dytiscus, who
soon acquires the habit Of following the
fingers for food, and amuses himself at
night If the aquarium is open, by fly
ing round and round the room, and oc-
casionally misses the way, and being
unable to return is found on the floor
in the morning. There is one draw
back to the habits of this creature. He
Is bloodthirsty tyrant of the aquarium,
requiring the whole place to himself,
for If kept with tadpoles, frogs, fish, or
any other animals he quickly destroys
them, even if many score times his own
size"
What hawks are to the other birds,
cats are to other mammals, sharks are
to other fish, the Dytiscus is to other in
sects.

COLD
CURE.

Colds lead to coughs, cough to
pneumonia and Consumption;
therefore, it is all important to
check a cold before it reaches the
lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure will
positively break a cold inside Of
twenty-four hours II taken as soon
as the cold maniiests itself. When
the cold reaches the lungs or bron-
chial tubes the Cough Cure should
be used alternately every half
hour with the Cold Cure. The
Cold Cure is guaranteed to pre-
vent pneumonia If used in the be-
ginning of q cold. Pneumonia or
Inflammation of the lungs can be
controlled by the use Of these two
cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures
bronchitis, tickling in the throat,
hoarseness, loss OF voice, soreness
Of the chest, difficulty in breathing,
hacking cough and sll pulmonary
diseases, where the lungs are not
too far consumed by disease or
covered with tubercles.
A separate cure for each dis
ease. At all druggists, mostly 25c.
