The Queens Birds.

Queen Victoria has rather an interest
ing aviary. In the Windsor forest there
are a number of wild turkeys from Can
ada, which it is hoped to breed and ac-
climatize. Near the head keepers home
two great eagles are kept in captivity.
Those birds were traced by their depre-
dations in the forest and trapped, one
of them quite 80 years since. Although
receiving every attention in the way of
food and lodging, they still refuse to
recognize their keepers. In small cor

A colonel in the Indian army met
with an unpleasant adventure recently
while dining at boulevard restaurant
in Paris. A well-dressed young man
who was seated opposite him spurte1
some soda water from a syphon over
the colonel's shirt front, apparently by
accident. The young man was profusc
in his apologies and insisted on careful
ly wiping the officers front and neck
with his serviette. While the colonel
was putting his collar and tie straight
in front of mirror. the stranger paid
his bill and went out. When the officer
went to pay for his dinner he discov-
cred that his pocketbook, containing
about 6 $50 in French and English
notes. had disappeared.-Westminste

TROUBLES OF A TROUSSEAU.

The Needs of a Eride-to-Be Are without
Number.
Have you ever bought trousseau, l
wonder? 1t rs astonishing the amount
of fol-de-rols bride must have that no
one else would think of needing. Gar
tiers, for instance, covered with thiclIly-
shirred lace insertion, edged with frills
of lace on both sides and finished with
bow, bunch of violets, n jeweled
buckle-a trifie that is wearable hardly
dozen times. DO you think she ever re-
places this bauble? Never. A riain ib-
bon gathered over elastic is its humble
successor. One particular outfit that |
have in mind is to have a number of
unique ideas in its building, more or less
practicable.
One of the prettiest of the sets, in
Guiding pantaloons, chemise, skirt and
nightgown, is built of the sheercst white
stuff trimmed with yellow lace and in
sertion and yellow ribbon. The night
gown has a round neck trimmed with
a deep bertha cut into vandykes and
reaching to a point Ia the jabct down
each side of the front of the waist. in
sertion and lace trim these points, and

back, laying the fullness there in
plaits that fit beautifully. Abroad rib
bon about the waist passes through the
lace straps, blousing the front of the
gown. The sleeves are of null, wrinkled
about the arm rather closely, ribbon
laid along the two seams holding the
shirrings firmly.
The skirt and drawers are edged with
deep vandykes of yellow lace and inser-
ton, and the chemise is trimmed with
the insertion only, laid in vandykes run
ming about the bust and waist, and NY
ing the soft fullness of the garments
close to the figure. The white petit
coats all have many hounces and frills
of lawn and lace and tucking. one over
the other in a foamy mass, the whole

of some bright, changeable silk to
match the ribbon bows, which is but

so easily accomplished. just reversing
things, silk petticoats have ruffies of

richness of the brccade, touch from
which the daintiness need not vanish.

KEEPING ROADS SMOOTH.
Why Every State In the Union should
Pass Wide Tire Laws.

Why Every State In the Union should
Pass Wide Tire Laws.
Abiding to the wide tire law of Con-
necticut, the Springfield Republican de-
clares that il is an eminently wise and
reasonable enactment, and the only
wonder is that people have to be forced
by legal measures into doing what is so
plainly for their own interest. No
other single element except ignorant
road-mabing adds so much TO the heavy
burden of supporting the highways as
the use of narrow tires, which cut up
the roads instead of ironing them
smoothly down. Look at the beautiful
glossy path which the bicyclists make
for themselves at the edge of the road,
before the puddles are fairly dried up,
and then at the bottomless abyss
plowed by the loaded wagons, and one
has the whole thing in nutshell. The
pneumatic bicycle tire, by fiattening at
the point of impact with the road, has
IL the effect of wide tire combined
with a comparatively light weight.
The horses hoofs chop up the road
somewhat, but this is nothing in COM
parison with the deep cuts of the mar
row wagon tires on vehicles carrying
heavy loads. II reasonably good roads
are made in the first place and vehicles
are equipped with tires, with some
thing near the same proportion of
weight TO width, as the tires of BIZ
cycle, and with the tread of the rear
wheel wider than those OF the front
wheels. so as not TO follow in the same
DO III, the surface of roads would not be
rutted, but on the contrary the wheels
would serve as rollers to roll the roads
down hard and make them better. 1t
seems rather trayesty on common
sense, as has been well said, to tax the
public to purchase expensive rollers to
smooth down the highways and then
permit narrow-tired wagons to cut
them up at their own sweet will. The
more economical way would be TO make
rollers out of the wagons by putting
wide tires on them.

ABOUT SWEET POTATOES.

Comments by Prof. Price. OF the Texas
Experiment Station.
There is great confusion IN the nom
enclature of the sweet potato. Its foil
age varies from round and entire to
split or lobed. while the flesh also varies,
when lobed, from dry and mealy to soft
and mushy. The latter cases have re-
ceiyed the name of Jams" in the sout h,
which has helped sn!l further to in.
crease the confusion in the markets as
well as among growers. This excellent
vegetable deserves to be brought out

do not know of anything more in

green corn. AS hunters know, bear
will always come and go out Of

cornfields are very large, ranging from

on the fence and carefully reconnoit-

il nothing alarming is in sight, the
bear climbs down on the other side
very much as an old lady would. He
will begin, then, next to the fence,
taking two rows, breaking down the
cornstalks right and left until he has
eaten all of the juicy, milky ears that
he wants. Then he leisurely retraces
his steps, always climbing over the
fence where he came in, and waddles
to his den to take nap. In the

TOBACCO INSOMNIA.
From the New York Ledger.

From the New York Ledger.
Many brain workers suffer from in
ability to sleep. This is frequently
met with among those who work late
at night. The sufferers complain that
they feel most lively just when the
time for retiring has come, and that
a long period of restlessnesS precedes
a troubled slumber, from which the
slightest noise awakes htem. This
is very often caused almost entirely
by an Oyerindulgence in tobacco.
They smoke just before going to bed,
ignorant of the fact that not only
may tobacco prevent sleep Temporal
rily, but may render it less deep, and
consequently less refreshing. A
grave responsibility attaches to those
who lightly seek to relieve symp-
tom which is really a warning to re-
course to a dangerous palliative.
The inability to sleep is often merely
the outcome of an unnatural mode of
life, and if this be corrected, the dis
ability disappears Of itself.
Men who work late are commonly
addicted to the tobacco habit. To them
tobacco is not a relaxation after a
days work but a mere Stimulant
which enables them to accomplish a
task which would otherwise be diff
cult of accomplishment. When the
mouth becomes dry, alcohol in some
form or other is resorted to, as flip
TO enable the smoker to tolerate still
another cigar or two. Under these
circumstances tobacco acts as a cere-
bral irritant, and interferes with the
vasOmotOr centers Of the brain to such
an extent that the vessels are unable
TO adjust themselves forthwith to the
condition required for healthy and IN
troubled sleep. Discretion in tobacco
use would save many from this dis
treSsing condition of chronic insomnia.
Smoking early in the day should be
discountenanced, and it is equally I'M
desirable within an hour or so Of re-
firing to rest. The best remedy for
the tobacco habit, short of total alb
stention, is to take short walk in the
open air after the last pipe.
