A BIRDS QUEER DEATH,
Impaled on u Weather Vane 1t Swings

Impaled on u Weather Vane 1t Swings
with the Wind.
one or the strangeSt monuments IN
existence is situated near Cold Spring.
N. Y, says the New York Journal 1t
is slowly disappearing and in a short
time will have entirely vanished, but
it tells marvellonsly true tale of the
life and death of the being which
caused 1t to be erected 1t is composed
of the bones Of n swallow which met
its death on the weather vane Of q
barn while in full flight. Every one
las noticed the peculiar diving motion
which swallows mako while on the
wing, 1t was this method of fying
that caused the birds death. In maxi
ing its quick dive it evidently mlscal-
culatcd, or else did no: see the vane,
which was arrow shaped, pointing d.
rectly toward the swallow. The farm
err who owned the barn noticed a bird
perched on his wcathcrvane The vane
was swinging in the wind, but did not
trouble the bird, which apparently re-
fused to be unseated. The next day
the bird was still there and the day
after as well. The farmer determined
to investigate. He found the bird i'm
paled on the vane. He left It where
1t was and it swung there for months
Why it did not fall to the ground was
mystery until when only the skele-
ton remained 1t was found that the
sharp point of the vane had penetrated
the breast bone. Then the bones
dropped apart one by one and now
nothing but the breast bone remains.

PERTAINING TO HEALTH.

A simple and excellent plan to
strengthen and preserve the eyes is 10
follow this rule: Every morning pour
some cold water into bowl: at the
bottom of the bowl place a silver coin
or some other bright object and theI
put your face IN the water with your
eyes wide open and move your fac.
gently from side to side. This will
make tho eyes brighter and stronger
A Vienna professor has just made
public the fact that the chances of n
smoker suffering from diphtheria or
throat diseases as compared to the
chances of a non-smoker are as one to
twenty-eight.
A curious and slightly known fact il
that it is impossible to move the eye
while looking at its reflection in tho
mirror. The eye is the most movable
part of the face. yet If you try to look
at il and move ii a thousandth part @.
an inch YOU will be baked in your pur-
pose. The moment you endeavor to
perceive the motion of the eye 1t be-
comes fixed. This is why person s
expression as he sees himself in the
glass is entirely different from the one
by which his friends recognize him.

last Friday night at O'Clock, says the
New York Herald They were then to
have dinner at a hotel, and attend tbs

had not yet arrived, so he patiently
waited on the sidewalk with his eyes
on the door that she might not come
Without his knowledge. lie paced back
and forth, reading the bulletins, Oh
serving the direction of the wind and
looking at the clock as it marked the
passing minutes: but he saw all who
entered the building. He heard load
changing of songs. as a fire engine
