a Law to Preserve the Birds.

A new law in Massachusetts makes
the possession Of the skin or feathers of
any bird which is protected by the laws
of that state punishable by the same
penalty as is imposed for killing the
birds. This seems to mean that the
guileless maid who buys her feathers of
a milliner runs as much risk of fine Or
imprisonment as the hard hearted man
with a gun who goes out and pots the
bird. In state where the schoolmaster
is less comprehensively abroad than in
Massachusetts this law might make
trouble, but the presumption is that in
the Bay State every schoolgirl is orni-
biologist enough to know which birds
are protected citizens, and which are
aliens and safe to wear. The ostensible
purpose of the new law is to preserve
the birds which eat the bugs which feed
on the crops of Massachusetts, but the
promoters of the law are not likely to
grieve if it goes beyond that and dis
courages the wearing of feathers in hats
altogether. Harper's Weekly.

Why do SO many towns grow and
prosper while others, equally favored,
lag behind? An exchange is of the
opinion that cit is because in one case
there are men of push and energy,
who are not afraid to spend their time
and money to boom their town. They
erect substantial buildings, organize
stock companies and establish facto
ries, work for public Improvements
and use every means in their power
to build up their town. Wherever
they go they tell of it's advantages,
they write about it in every letter,
they send ont circulars and newspa-
pers to every acquaintance whom
they think can be induced to visit
their town, and when anyone visits
them shows him all the attractions
and treats him SO kindly that he falls
in love with them and their town at
once" This view of the matter is
certainly worthy of the thought
among all good citizens.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Gin no one single little thing" said
the middle aged man, has there been
a greater advance since [ was a boy
than in the introduction of the door
spring into comparatively common use.
I suppose there must be now hundreds
of patents on door springs Some OF the
springs aare well nigh perfect. 1t is
difficult to see in what respect they
could be improved. But the main fact
is the door spring itself and its common
use in buildings of more or less public
character and in many others as we'll.
1--WE don't shut doors now nearly as
much as we used to. We don't stop to
shut them. We are spared that trouble,
and we save time. We open the door
and push on through and leave the door
to take care of itself. In the time that
it would have taken us to close it we
are six, eight, ten feet off, but the door
is not neglected Tt shuts itself calmly,
quietly and with certainty as the man
marches away. There is less slamming
of doors now than ever, and fewer doors
are left open, and the saving of time
effected by the use of the self closing
door is in the aggregate tremendous.
"Truly, in no minor feature is the
progress of civilization more apparent
than in the present common use of the
door spring. New York Sun.

Tamerlane On Playing Cards.

The picture of the king in a pack of
playing cards was originally intended
to be a portrait of Timour, the great
mogul of Tartary, who is better known
in history by the name of Tamerlane.
Timour was a mighty conqueror He
surpassed Alexander the Great in the
extent and success of his warfare and in
the number of nations he subdued At
the height of his power he was the SOW
ereign of almost the entire known world
His dominionsk extended from Hindu
stan to the Bosporus and frona@the In
dian ocean to the Arctic sea:FHe ruled
all Asia except the Chinese empire and
died while on an expedition to subdue
China in 1403.-Chicago Record.

Progressive Australia.

Australia c1aims.the largest automo-
bile carriage ever constructed for ac-
tual service. This car utiliZes rs horse
power. The car travels from Coelgardie
to the coast for the transportation of
merchandise to the mines Besides the
load on the car itself it drags two trail
ers over Il distance of 400 miles. A rail-
road was too expensive a luxury to in
dulge in in that country, andso the idea
of the big motor was conceived. So
scarce is water along the route travelled
that the steam is not exhausted into
air, but saved, 'reconverted into water
and thus used over and overaagain.

Excused.

A pleasant story of her youth is told
by an old lady whose early home was
in Concord, Mass. She was on her tardy
way to school, crying in anticipation of
disgrace and possible punishment, when
a deep voice by her side said:
"What is troubling you, my child?''
Between her sobs Annie explained.
81 will write a note to your teacher,
asking her to excuse you," said the
stranger kindly.
The little girl protested. He did not
know her teacher. It would be of no
use. But the big, black haired man had
written a few words on page of his
notebook, and tearing out the leaf
handed it to the child.
eff you give your teacher that I
think she will excuse you," he said
smilingly.
Still unbelieving, the little girl hand
ed the scrap of paper to her teacher,
who read its contents and promptly ex-
cused the delinquent. The note read:
Will Miss excuse Annie for being late,
and oblige her most obedient servant,

Effect Of Coffee on the Nerves.

The impression prevails in many
minds that coffee is extremely injurious
to the nerves and also to the liver. How
true this may be it is not easy to decide.
Normal constitutions do not as a rule
seem to find coffee in moderation i'll the
least degree injurious. Dyspeptics may
experience distress from its use, but ac-
cording to some carefully conducted ex-
periments it is quite as likely to be the
sugar and cream in the coffee as the
coffee itself. Persons who have been in
the habit of taking coffee prepared in
the usual fashion and have found it to
disagree with them have tried black
coffee without sugar or cream with
most excellent results. From which it
may appear that the caffeine may not
be so injurious after all. Indeed, it has
of late been used in cases of myocarditis
with excellent effect Small doses of
caffeine are recommended and these at
intervals, the remedy being given stead
lily, then discontinued for awhile. In
this way the system does not become
accustomed to the medicine, and it is
not necessary to increase the dose of the
drug. York Ledger.

Out Of 222 pupils in the grammar
schools Of Chicago who attained a
certain percentage of efficiency only
twenty five were boys. This would
indicate that girls are about four
times as bright as boys. It's hard to
understand these things and to
straighten up the rules of heredity.
1t is, we believe, an excepted rule
that boys stake after'7 their mothers
and the girls after their fathers. If,
then, the women are the smartest,
the boys, taking after'' the mother,
should also be smartest. IF the men
are the smartest, then the girls, ''tak-
ing after" the father, should be
smartest. It is difficult riddle to
unriddle.
