objects meet with your appreciation, VIII
you not kindly consider the ACCESSIBILITY of

she filled the office Of owner. carrier and

arrived from San Francisco and deliv-
cred them at the houses of her cuSto-
mers. She collected the bills for the
paper herself and in the time that was
left between collecting. delivering pa
pers and studying Kant she made a
houSeto-houSe canvass of the entire
town of Berkeley for subscribers. The
canvass was very successful, for in n

The Sea Gull Is q BenefactOr.

The sea gull is doubly the benefactor
OF 1t not only follows the pillow

eat the freshly-turned grubs. but II
scours the surface of the sea near the
shore, and %frequents harbOrs to seize
on floating garbage, dead fish, or other
putrefying morsels. The service OF
these birds have saved many a seaport
town and village, round which they
hover, from plague and pestilence.
Yet every year they are m~assacred ny
thousands for idle and cowardly sport
used in millinery. Their eggs are plum
dered wholesale for museums and 10
FIJI the shop windows of naturallsts.
One man boosted a year ago that he
lad killed 1000 kittiwake gulls in a
single season with his own gun, ana.
an order was given and executed from
one London house for 10000 pairs or
wings. At this rate gulls must soon
disappear altogether.
The carriOn crow, the raven and otn-
ers which follow their example, more
or less, confer an immense boon on
mankind. Sparrows clear the cutters

savory morsels would soon become dan

The gross hlundcrs about the United
States and its people. nee SO common
in even the best-informed English
newspapers. are rarely met with oWa
days. once in awhile we hear some
thing about the state of Albany" and
occasionally that the Indian savages
threaten Chicago. but as Il rule Eng
liSh editors avoid serious errors. though
they sometimes make laughable ones.
OF this latter character is the follow
ing which we clip from the last num-
Der OF the Westminster Gazette. Ii
certainly ought To have Il startling eff
feet wherever it is read:
A COLONY OF TIPPLERS.
One of the most curious colonies init
have Yer been established on the
American continent is. We learn from
the London American. about to settle
III North Dakota. 1t is a colony of
drunkards. T~Wenty-one drunkaris
and their families are about to move
from Indiana to take up their abode
upon the virgin soil of North Dakota.

purchased 1000 acres of land, and each
family will receive an allotment of
about fifty acres. The colony will be
watched with much interest. 1t begins
operations this month. Very likely all
the ~colonistS will want to start saloons.
and then the question arises. who wiV
be ready to till the soil?

Orn Swallows.

A flight OF swallows made of the
most g%littering brilliants is one of the
newest ornaments with which the sum-

Each of the five jeWeled birds can be
separated and worn either as a brooch
or as an ornament for the hair. To
those who find the swallow too modest

Men have Tilted their loves, and MANY
a tickle woman has changed her mind.
but 1t is rare that a bridegroom reaches
that point of seeing his bride in we'd
ding attire and then fleeing for dear
life TO avoid taking the marriage vows.
But such ungallant behavior recently
happened to mar the bridal ceremony of
q New York couple. The girl was all
decked in white gown and roses. and
her young man in his bridal outfit, but
~unluckily he added to his weight on the
way to the brides home. and she in
an evil moment reproached him for the
load. That settled the affair as far as
he was concerned. Away he flew. but
the bride. nothing daunted, flew after,
and unmindful of wedding gown and
white shoes boarded a car in the forlorn
hope of keeping up with the fugitive.
But, alas! he was too Spry. and the
bride was forced TO return home. be-
wailing her faithlesS lover. who p.oba-
bly, drowned his sorrow in the nearest
beer fountain. Moral: Twas better SO.

Three TerSe Thoughts,

No one who is at all familiar with
child life has failed TO note how much
more a child "a comprehend than ii
can express. The value Of any process
in teaching is determined very largely
by the teacher who applies 1t. We
must have order and quietness in the
schoolroom. But we should ever re-
member that order is not mechanical
stiffness, neither is it thoughtless rig
idity. 1t is a happy combination of
thought and action working toward the
Il common purpose for which schools
exist at all.-F. B. DreSslar.

Who Will invent an instrument 1nat
can estimate the depth of water under
q ship without taking soundings? The
disaster TO the Drummond Castle has
awakened interest in the problem,
which Sir William Siemens once tackled
and for which ne devised an instrument
called a hathomeier. 1t was exceeding
~ delicate. and made very sensitive 10
the earth's attraction. showing a vary
ing record as a ship passed from deep -
shallow water, and vice versa. But i,
was never perfected. one of the diff
cultieS Sir William Siemens
ed was the disturbing effect of continent
tai attraction. Now. however. in this
age of the impossible made possible.
1t would seem that our inventors could
nave no nobler incentive thar to pre-
vent such a catastrophe as happened ~
