Aluminium Paint.

II Is stated that aluminium, when
reduced to powder and mixed with a
solution In water Of gum lac, gives a
metallic paint which covers well and
may be shaded with aniline colors
dissolved in water Tho solution Of
gum lac Is made by bringing to boil
Ing point a mixture Of gum lac and
bor,ax and an alkali such as soda or
ammoniac. The solution must con-
tain at least from Is TOGO per cent
Of gum lao. Anilino colors are add
cd to produce the shade desired, and
aluminium Is added in sufficient
quantity to produce o paint sufh'
GENTLY fluid for application with e
brush. Tho color is brilliant, very
durable and impermcable and may
be applied to metals, paper, wood
and wooden materials 1t may bo
rendered supple by tho addition of
small quantity of glycerin.-St

English View OF Our Cooks. d.

Tho American is en- admirable cook

may fail. The rush of modern ideas
is too great for him. The sewing ma.
chine, the reaper and the corn ele-
vator take up too much time. The
application Of electricity and steam
20 the arts Of peace and the ever pres
ont cares brought On him by tho
working Of the finest constitution in
the world distract him from his boil
Ing and his baking. He has indeed
tho same interesting reason for neg.
lecting his clam chowder and his
baked pork and beans, that most in

Alfred had for letting his hostess

WHAT THE BIRDS EAT.
Professor Washburn Divides tho Foatherod
Tribes Into Three Glasses.

Professor Washburn Divides the Foathered
Tribes Into Three Glasses.
Professor E. L., Washb,1rn Of the
State Agricultural college read pa
per before the State Horticultoxalso-
ciety on 'Brds and the Horticultur-
ist, in which, after showing the re-
suit Of many painstaking expert
ments in examining birds stomachs
ETC., he goes on to say:
Summarizing from what has been
done in this line elsewhere and from
personal observation, it would seem
that we might classify the commoner
birds in rather vaguely defined
groups, it is true, under four heads.
We would, however, reserve the
privilege of condemning any bird
when it became a veritable nuisance
to the fruit grower.
Under Birds Worthy of Our Pro
lection" l would place the robin,
bluebird, all tho sparrows Except the
English SPARROW, bullocks, oriole,
all fycatchers and virees, swallows,
most of the woodpeckers, most Of
tho thlushes, tho red tailed hawk.
tho red shouldered hawk, swainson's
hawk or buzzard, marsh hawk, spur
row hawk, long cared owl, short
cared owl, barred owl and the
scrCGch owl.
Under birds Probably Beneficial
wo might place the following: Black
birds, red shafted flicker, hngDird
found i'll parts OF eastern Orcgo1).
cherry bird on cedar bird, the horned
lark, black winged yellowbird, or
wild canary" China phcasants,
quail, rufiicd grouse Or native pleas
ant, blue grouse and great horned
owl.
Under "Doubtful' 7 would place
the jays, crows, meadow lark, black
headed grosbeak, ground doye,'
golden eagle, bald eagle.
And under "Dccidcdly Bad
should llnhesitatinsly place the pur
pie linnet, or "cherly thief" the
woodpccler called the sap sucker"
Cooper's hawk and sharp Skinned
hawk.
In considering tho above arbitrary
divisions it should be borne in mind
that many birds placed in the Doubt
full" column may really deserve
better place, though the claminar
ton of stomachs have not extended
through long enough time to show
this. The eagles, for instance, in lo-
calitieA where their natural food is
abundant arc undoubtedly beneficial.
1t is only when this supply is cut
of that they become injurious. The
China pheasant Is reported to me by
some as consuming much grain,
feeding on fruit and garden stuff
and even pulling up young pear and
peach pits just sprouted. Yet the
bulk of testimony seems to point to
the fact that all Of our game birds
consume enough injurious insects to
more than balance their bad quail
ties. Gunners in this vicinity assure
me that they find many grasshoppors
in the crop and stomach Of Denny
pheasants, and ono man mentions
seeing these birds hunting field for
hoppers much after the manner OF
turkeys.
Of the English sparrow can say
nothing good and trust it may never
get a foothold in Portland or else
where in Oregon. 1t il noisy, pug
nacious and dirty, and though it has
a penchant for canker worms it
drives away other birds which prey
upon pests for which an English
sparrow has no iking.-Portland

How to Get Warm.

It may not be generally known
that when exposed to severe cold a
feeling of warmth is readily created
by repeatedly filling the lungs to
their utmost extent in the following
manner: Throw the shoulders we'll
back and hold head well up. In
tlate the lungs slowly, the air en-
te1ing entirely through the nose.
When the lungs arc completely
filled, hold the breath for 10 seconds
or longer and then eApcl it quickly
through the mouth. After repeat
ing the exercise while one is chilly a
feeling of warmth will be felt over
tho entire body, oven in the feet and
hands. 1t is worth while practieing
this exercise many times each day
and especially when in the open air.

A Table and n Moral.

CnrealiEGd Authorizations

That Long Islanders arc not wholly
devoid Of hunIor, which has been
charged against them, is clearly
demonstrated by recent occurrence
at Riverhead, the Suffolk county
seat.
It seems that the local debating so
ciety had under consideration the
old topic, whether there is greater
pleasure derived from anticipation
than from realizationg" THIS weighty
subject was discussed ct length and
was finally carried in favor of antici-
patton by heavy majority.
Now, it happens that q favorite
dish Of RiverheederS is rabbit stow,
and that one Of the losing faction,
Nate Downs, is esteemed as tho best
concocter Of rabbit stew on the east
ern end Of Long Island.
Not long after the fa1 nous debate,
Nate invited the whole company to
visit his house and partake Of the fa-
vorite dish. Anticipation ran high,
and at the appointed hour the club
assembled en- masse, but alas for re-
alization! there was no rabbit stew,
only tho usual paraphernalia Of
serving it-dishes, knives, etc.
Nato had sought by this practical
method to force tho society to rccon-
slider its hasty decision and was cln-
inontly stcccasful, Tho company
left, very angry, hut with tho settled
conviction that so far as rabbit stew
was concerned realization would be
moro satisfactory than anticipation.
