BLOWN OUT TO SEA.
Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death
by Fierce Gales.

Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death
by Fierce Gales.
Birds driven before the wind are toss
ed about relentlessly, and they rarely
recover their balance after once being
caught by the gale. Shore birds are
either dashed upon the waves and made
to swim for their lives or they are hurl-
ed violently against trees or other OBJ
iects and killed. Shore birds, when fac
ing gale, will take every advantage of
trees, houses and hills as defenses
against the wind They will close their
wings and sink SO close to the ground
as to get the protecting shelter of
hedge fence, and then swoop up again
with renewed Roadway. They frequent
ly advance before the gale by series
of side evolutions, flying at right angles
to the wind until they have attained con
siderable velocity, and then wheeling
about straight against the wind and
making some Roadway before it over
comes them. This operation is repeated
continually until the desired place is
reached.
During our fall and early winter
gales cartridges and quail are quite fire..
quently blown out to sea by a strong
hurricane, where some of them have
been picked up by fishermen. In nearly
all such instances they are caught by
the gale when high in the air, and be-
fore they can recover themselves they
are hurried out beyond the shore and
dropped into the water. With their
plumage soaked with the spray they in
stantly become helpless and cannot
reach the shore in the face of the wind.
On our inland lakes and rivers this is a
more common sight than along the
ocean shore.
When once blown out to sea, the
shore birds have little chance Of escape.
Unable to battle against the heavy
wind, they yield themselves to their
fate and drift about until the storm
subsidies. By that time they are likely
to be so far from shore that they cannot
reach it again, and they either fly or
swim until they starve to death or die
of exhaustion. Their dead bodies, along
with those of the hapless gulls, terms
and herons, are finally drifted upon
some shore, where the waves leave them
high and dry. After every heavy storm
hundreds of such luckless victims can
be found on the beaches of our Atlantic
coast Our Animal Friends

Live Stock Points.

Farmers and breeders tend more and
more to the rearing of winter pigs. A
good warm house is necessary, but one
that will last ten years can be built for
So or less, SO that need not stand in the
way. In these times the farmer who
makes things pay must plan to have
money coming in all the year round
from his stock.
A sheep raiser who knows his bust
ness takes the following means to get
ewes to exercise themselves sufficiently
before lambing time: He lets the breed
ing ewes into a wood pasture in the
morning ON pleasant days all winter.
Then he takes sack of shelled corn on
his back and walks quickly about the
pasture himself, the ewes tumbling
over one another to get close to him and
follow him. As he goes he takes hand
fuls of the corn and throws it about
here and there for the animals to scram-
BILE for and eat. They thus are made to
run about actively, and the result is fine
and vigorous lambs.
Do not feed ewes too much wheat
bran before lamblng time.
The desperate quarrel between the
sheep men and the cattle men in Colo
RADIO and Wyoming seems to have been
settled in the only way it could have
been-by division of the range land be-
tween the two opposing forces. Cattle
and sheep cannot be pastured upon the
same ground, although the sheep herders
had exactly the same right to raise NUT
ton rron the public domain that the COW
men Id to raise beef. Sheep eat down
pasture to the last spear of grass and
their sharp little hoofs trample the
ground as though it had been raked over.

THE SMILE OF a CHILD.
) smile Of a child to a weary heart,

The smile of child to weary heart,
Like dew on the thirsty earth,
Is springing well whence teardrops start
In flow of joy from living worth.
The smile Of child is a gift from heaven,
Frightening the way Of toll;
Like golden clouds floating at even.
Bathing with beauty Gods flower gem
med soil;
Like incense as its fragrance waves
And floats on the air the while
Meath richly sculptured architraves
Or thickly peopled aisle.
Give me knowledge, give me health,
But in grief and sorrow wild
Give me the wealthiest known of wealth
The artless smile of a child.

NAMES WE MISSED.

Some of the Titles Intended For Our
Geographical Divisions.
TWAS intended that Maryland should
be called Crescentia, but Charles l
changed it to Terra Marie, in honor of
his wife, and we made it Mary's Land !;
hence Maryland (home pronunciation,
Merrylon) William Penn wanted to
call his state New Wales, but afterward
decided upon Sylvania, to which the
king prefxed the word Penn. In 1884
an ordinance was drawn up as follows:
"The territory northward of the forty
fifth degree-that is to say, of the COM
pletion of the forty-fifth degree from
the equator and extending to the Lake
of the Woods-shall be called Syl-
vania. 2 See what we missedl The ter
ritory under the forty fifth and forty
fourth degrees which lies westward of
Lake Michigan was to be called Michi-
gania, while that to the eastward, with
in the peninsula formed by the lakes and
waters Of Michigan, Huron, st. Clair
and Erie, was to be called Chersonesus.
Heaven forbade.
OF the territory lying under the forty
third and forty second degrees, that to
the westward, called Assenisipia; that
to the eastward, in which are the sources
Of the Muskingum, the two Miamis of
the Ohio, the Wabash, the Illinois, the
Miamis of the lake, and the Sandusky
rivers, was to be called Metropotamia
The country through which the Illinois
river runs was to be called Illinoia; the
next joining to the eastward, Saratoga,
and that between the last and Pennsyl-
vania. extending from the Ohio to Lake
Erie, Washington. All that region adj
jacent to which are the confluences of
the Wabash, Shawnee, Tanisee, Ohio,
Illinois, Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
was to be called Polytamia, and that
farther up the Ohio, Pelisipia. Verify,
watchful Providence seems to have
guarded us from these Affections. New

often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp

to hold urine and scalding pain in passing

pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
nrinate The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures

Breeding Ewes,

The month of December is in the
northern states almost universally re-
garded by old fashioned farmers as the
time to couple ewes for spring lambing.
If the ram is put in earlier, the lambs
will come while there is too long time
before the ewes can get at grass. This
to a farmer who has roots or ensilage
need not make much difference. Both
sheep and young lambs will endure
quite severe weather if kept dry. Those
who have barn Easements couple ewes
all through early fall, SO as to have
lambs dropped in time to market just
after Lent. The later lambs should be
marketed just before the Fourth of July,
when there is always good demand for
lamb and green peas.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty four hours; sedi-

condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain

that she, for one, is not born heroine
We cannot all have genius for passion.
Indeed that genius is, first, rather IN
usual, and, secondly, is apt not to be
confined to a single object. Girls ought
not to be educated in a belief in the
coup de foudre. Most of them will find
some good fellow who is much attached
to them, as they will be to him. They
will marry, if they have luck, and never
think of losing their heart, in the style

the prose fact of matrimony, and thus
'Hymen peoples every town. If young
women wait for the coup de foudre and
the handsome knight who comes riding
through the forest, they will Golf St.

prove the inadequacy of the ideal. The
