everywhere round the old castle Of
Duntroon and even up the stairs and
into the rooms. One of his little play
fellows had been obliged to give up his
room 70 u gentleman who had come to
stay there aud the surprise of the guest
was uubounded when the head and
neck of a roe protruded through his

Yet. justas kitten would be the most
delightful of pets except for its I'M
fortunate habit of growing into a cat,
SO roe and especially a buck, becomes
too much of handful as a pet when it
grows up. Their beautiful little horns
are both sharp and dangerous and a
tame roebuck very nearly put an old
woman off the road and into the Crinan

meant no harm; il really expected to
get a lump of rock salt, with which it
had usually been rewarded for its
caresscs bat the old dame did not APP
prcclutc its uucanny approaches and

The American w. {. II. L. Helped
Maintain Them.
During the latter part OF the cam
paign in Greece excellent service was
done in the field hospitals by few
English nurses who left home to care
for the wounded soldiers in the Greek
army. The princess of Wales was much
interested in the project, and lent her
influence 10 aid it, and Lady Henry
Somerset took an active part in the ar
engagements for the nurses departure,
SAYS the New York Tribune.
This country also had its part in the
affair, for the National W. c. T. L. sent,
through Miss Frances Willard, 81, 500,
representing the expenses of sending
one nurse The women, who were all
enthusiastic for the Greek cause and
experienced in hospital work, sailed
from London and arrived a few weeks
ago at Athens. They were heartily
welcomed there, and the people who
bad assembled 10 greet them cheered
them warmly as they landed. The work
which was assigned TO them was tax
ing TO their strength and frequently of
the most trying and disagreeable ma
ture. but they had come with the knowl-
edge that war meant hardships, and
they have acquitted themselves nobly.
The task of caring for the wounded is
not ended vet, and the nurses will
doubtless stay as long as their pres
ence can be Of use.

MOVING a BRICK CHIMNEY.

Carried Nearly Tbousand Feet over
Uneven Grouud.
The moving Of an ordinary brick
building has always been consid-
cred a feat of more than passing inter-
est, but the transportation of "a brick
chimney without accident or damage,
over considerable stretch OF uneven
ground, was recently accomplished at
Manhansct. Shelter Island, Suffolk coun-
ty, y. y.
The chimney, says the Scientific
American, is So feet high and seven feet
square at the base. with outer and in
ner walls eight inches thick and wcigl $
nearly 100 tons. 1t was moved about
$50 feet over very rough ground and
quite grade, both up and down. The
cradle rested on two sltids creased on
the under side and sliding on creased
blocks. The purchase used was "a grain
capstau, and one horse at $50 fold. and
the time occupied i'm loading and NOV
ing was only nine days. with the labor
OF only -four men. The chimney was
placed ON it's new foundation without a
particle of harm. This is the second
chimney OF the above description moved
by the same contractors. The first one
was 81 feet high, at Bridgehampton,
and in both cases the work was COM
pleted without accident

Parrot Diseases.

Psittacosis, the peculiar form of bron-
chial pneumonia communicated by par
rOts. has broken out i'm Genoa, IA cases,
eight OF them fatal, being traced 10 "a
single importation of two sick Bra
lillian parrots. The health board has
warned the citizens against harboring
parrots as pets. At Berlin the veter-
mary school has found that out of ia
sick parrots 81 were suffering from
tuberculosis. The disease is hereditary
in the birds. and is intensified by the
close confinement and discomfort of the
voyage TO Europe.

THE COLOREO BROTHER.
Not Good Tenant FOR the Southern

The typical negro tenant arrives at a

Extinct Animals.

In a late number of Science DR.. C.
Hart Merriam closes an article which
criticiscs in a rather destructive way
some of the geological theories of Theo-
dore Roosevelt with AN appeal TO mu-
seums, spOrtsmcn and uaturalists to
take advantage OF every opportunity
before it is too late TO secure and pre-
serve specimens Of our larger mammals
from remote parts of their ranges.
Many species have been cNtcrminatcd
in Europe by man, and in this country
the process has already begun. The
familiar story of the vanishing buffalo
is only one of many. The giant grizzly
of southern California, the largest
carnivorous animal of the United States,
is about eXterminated, and il is doubt
full if a museum specimen will ever be
obtained. The large wolves have been
cXterminatcd over more than half the
area they formerly possessed, and no
one knows what forms have disap-
peurcd An unknown form of elk or
wapiH, which within the memory of
men still living inhabited the Allegha-
MES from North Carolina 10 the Adron-

RINGING DOOR BELLS.
A Pnstime That seems tn he Disnp-

pcRring from the sports of Youth.
"In the days when knockers graced
the house door," said MIR. Stoggleton,
reports the New York Sun, 1.-THE
small boy found sport in banging
the lnocker and running When bells
came in ne yanlIed on the bell pull and
then fled Nowadays he mysteriously
presses the button; but the sport of
calling people TO the door for nothing
is not what it was; and it seems prob
able that with the general introduction
of the push button, IL will finally fall
into decadence.
There was some fun in pounding
with the door knocler, whose thunder
reycrberated through the hall and filled
the house, all of which you could hear
yourself And you could yank the bell
pull out to the limit, causing the bell to
fly almost off the spring; there was fun
in this. But there is no such fun in
pushing in a push button. You can
press that IN perhaps quarter of an
inch, and that is all you can do with it.
Say you are in the vestibIIe of fiat
Very likely you don't hear the bell ring
at all; It may be that it is MP three or
four fights of stairs; you hear no sound.
Nobody comes TO the door; you don't
have to run. Possibly the people whose
bell you have rung may press button
up there in the air somewhere and you
may hear the click of the door-opencr
at your side, or they may not do even
that.
1T is dry fun; not like the old slam
bang Luockcr on the outside of the door
or the bell pull with the jingle bell right
in the hall"

FRENCH COOKING.
The English Feed, the Americans De-
VOur, the French Eat.


People may sheer at judging a ma
ton by the amount of attention il
pays 10 it's fomach; but the stomach is,
after all, very important part of the
human anatomy, and those who sur
round the physical necessities of our
animal nature with agreeable charms
that make them less coarse and brutal
certainly have a claim TO being consid-
cred In some degree promoters of civ
ilization, says the Chautauquan. 1t
is lioel both upon nature and natures
God 70 hold that everything pleasant
is wrong and that the refnements Of
life have no place in that great evolution
that is gradually raising mankind to
a higher plane, even though such
refnements descend to the accessories
IF the table 1t is in this respect that
French cooking is superior to all other
cooking; il is more refined The Eng
fish feed, the Americans devour; only
the French really know how TO eat.
Their meals, as a rule, are less heavy
and solid than those of other nations,
yet quite sufficient in quantity, while
the great fact that distinguishes their
cooking is their perfect comprehension
of the part played by seasoning. Like
the Gallo wit which havors their lit
erature, their thorough knowledge OF
seasoning gives zest to their cooking.
