HE LOVED TO GIVE.
The Touching Lesson of a Very CharI-
table Life.

The story of George Francis Train
sitting in the park surrounded by birds
and children is familiar one. 1t is
not so generally known that North st.
Louis was the home of a child and bird
lover who died some years ago, says the
st. Louis Republic
1T was this gentle old mans custom
to leave home every morning directly
after breakfast with his pockets full of
bread crumbs and rock candy. He
would go to one OF the parks near his
home and sit down on one of the bench
es there. No matter how cold it was
he never forgot those bread crumbs.
AT sight of him the birds would f1y
toward him. There were not so many
sparrows then as now, but sometimes
hundreds of them would flutter about
him. He has often been seen sitting
there quietly with the little birds
perched on his hat and shoulders.
When the birds had collected he
would bring out his store of bread
crumbs, and then there would be afeast.
The rock candy he kept for children
and poor people. He was always gener-
Gus with it. He would say that it was
pure and would help the poor wretches
to keep warm.
1t is told of him that he once paid a
debt of $3.50 for an old friend. The
creditor was told to say to inquirers
that the bill was paid by zone who loved
him" When they asked the old man
about it he smiled, but did not acknowI-
edge that he had paid it.. He merely
said:
k"AhI Love has paid many debt"

The Foot of the REINDEER.

Everything in any way connected
with Alaska and the K1ondike is of spe-
cial interest at present, and among
other items the foot of the reindeer de-
serves particular mention. The forefoot
of the horse to great extent deter
mines it's value, as upon this portion
of its anatomy its speed and endurance
depend. The foot of the reindeer is
most peculiar in construction. It is
cloven through the middle and each half
curves upward in front. They are
slightly elongated and capable of a
considerable amount of expansion
When placed ON an irregular surface,
which is difficult to traverse, the animal
contracts them into a sort of claw, by
which a firm hold is secured. When
moving rapidly the two portions of the
foot, as it is lifting, strike together, the
hoofs making a continuous Gathering
noise, which may be heard at consider
able distance. 1t is this popularity of
the feet that makes the reindeer so sure
footed and so valuable in that rocky and
uneven country, where almost any
other animal would prove a failure as
beast of burden--N. Y. Ledger.

CATCHING coNpoRs.
Price Upon the FerOcious BIRDS
In Chilli.


Chill offers bounty for condor heads,
and an American in that country has
made from $500 to $500 month killing
this bird of prey. One month he got a
warrant for $1,OsO. Condors steal
sheep and calves. He writes, says the
Chicago Chronicle:
''How did we capture these ferocious
birds? Our first job every morning be-
fore we had even peep of sunlight
over the mountains was to carry the
eow-out on the plain, where it could
easily be seen from all points of the
compass. We sometimes made car
cass do service for fortnight, but it
required a strong stomach and indiffer-
ence to stencil. We moved about every
few days from one locality to another,
and never put the rotting body twice in
the same place, because of the extreme
suspiciousness of an average condor.
Generally we would move three or four
miles every "A hours.
'After we had placed our bait carcass
we set up our tents and the canvas flies
that concealed us and our horses from
the view of the condors. Breakfast was
no sooner over than we could see from
the peepholeS in the canvas that hid us
several condors coming down through
the clouds from the mountain crest
straight toward our bait. When the
birds had eaten heartily we sprang to
our horses, which stood near, bridled
and saddled, ready for the chase. When
condor has gorged itself with food it
cannot rise without running to give it.
self momentum. An expert lassoer
could send his rope over a condor's head
and so manage it that it was slipped
down until it touched the shoulders of
the wings before it would be frightened
on the bird. Then the rider would turn
the horse about and lead the chase him
self, forcing the unwilling bird along
until tumbled, spent, to the ground,
and was dragged to death at the horses
heels"

0ne OF Them Was Delivered to the
Mi1lard Family.

MiIIard Family.
Sometimes fate deludes one into
thinking there is such a treasure as
justice on earth, but she generally caps
it by dealing blow more stingine than
the first.
At least that is the sentiment of the
Millard family. The NilJards live on a
fashionable South side avenue, in a
row of quiet, unpretentious houses.
Their residence had always been the
abode of peace and harmony till the
fetal day when the daughter of the
people next door came from California
for an extended visit. Her husband
came also; he wore a silk hat rigidly at
every outdoor appearance, and had
fondness for frock coats at a. M, but
nevertheless he has nothing to do with
the story. The daughter proved to be
musical. The Millards had not known
that the people next door possessed a
piano till the daughter came, and at the
first were rather cheered by the ripple
of the piano keys which generously
penetrated the thin wall. After a week
the pianist settled down to hard work
Previously she had scrambled through
varied repertoire, but finally decided
on her life work, the Millards assumed,
when they heard Paderewslzi's ''Minuet''
one day from three a. m. to luncheon
time, and from then till dinner Wag-
ner's ''Seigmund's Love Song" The
Millards' brows were slightly CORFU
gated at dinner, but they did not COM
plain. After a few days, however,
feeling of nervousness, restlessness and
even acerbity of temper made itself
manifest

TOOK a COLD SHOWER BATH.

A New and Elderly Pupil Stayed
Under 1t Nearly Fifteen Minutes.
A gentleman about co years cf age en-
tered a gymnasium and physical cul-
tare school in Brooklyn the other day
and announced his intention of becom-
ing a pupil to "build himself up,' re-
ports the New York Times. After hard
exercise for an hour it is customary for
each pupil to take a warm or cold
shower bath and then be rubbed C-w-..
by an attendant with coarse towels
thus promoting TIE circ;t,aticn of t-lS

glow. The shower bath is in a small
compartment, ard the ruoi enters and
closes the door, manipulating the spig-
OTIS to suit himself, wki:e the attendant
waits outside until he is through.
The elderly pupil was told after his
first Lesson that he had better take a
cold shower, and he entered tie com
pertment and closed the door. The at
tendc1t waited for nearly Is minutes
outsiCc, and wondered what the man
was doing, as he could hear the cold
water running, but no ether sound.
Finally from the compartment came
the chatterirg query: "How long must
/ stay in this place? Tn frcezing"
The new pupil was p:'cr, rtly rescued
and resuscitated, and it w2s explained
to him that it was act customary for a
man to stay under the shower longer
than two or three minutes on a cold
winter day.

Some very remarkable bugs are be-
ing Matched and reared just at present
by the experts of the government bu-
reau of entomology at Washington.
Most people would suppose that there
were enough insects in existence with
out resorting to artificial propagation;
but the fact is that this kind of scientific
work has very useful purpose in view.
This, too, Notwithstanding the fact that
the species selected for breeding are
the most pestiferous that can be found.
The bug hatchery, or ''insectary," as
it is called, is a brick building close by
the department of agriculture. In con-
struction it resembles a greenhouse, the
upper part being of glass; so as to admit
plenty of light for the insects. 1t is
divided into two compartments, one of
which is artificially heated for the ben
eft of tropical and other species that
require warmth, while the other is cold.
On shelves all around the interior, and
on the floor as well, are glass jars and
queer glass-sided boxes containing a
great variety of odd-looking objects.
The objects in the glass jars are parts
of plants, fruits, dried-up vegetables,
pieces of branches or roots, etc. One
does not see any bugs at all, and the
reason why is simply that the veg
etables, fruits and so forth are the
natural food of the insects, and the lat
ter are either inside of them or else
are 'done up in cocoons for the win
ter.
For example, there is a huge cocoon
nine inches long hanging from a twig
in a jar of exceptional size. This is the
temporary communal dwelling built by
the so-called "gregarious butterfly" in
Mexico. More correctly speaking, it is
the erpillars-transforme later into
butterflies-that construct the cocoon
for a residence while they are under
going their metamorphosis. The CO.
coon looks and feels as if made of thick
parchment, and at the lower end of 1t
is a small hole that serves for a door.
The labor employed in building it must
be enormous. Under a powerful mag
nifying glass, it is seen to be composed
of an infinite number of shining and
very slender silken threads, crossing
each other in every direction. When
cut into, the nest is found to contain
100 or more chrysalids, attached to the
walls on the inside-each one repre-
senting a future butterfly.
The habit of combining together to
build a house seems to be peculiar to
this species among butterflies. The silk
composing the, nest is exquisite, and
from 20 to 25 sheets of it can be stripped
Off from the great cocoon as if woven
in loom. If the silk could only be
spun, the ''gregarious butterfly" would
soon displace the sil1worm, and the
silks and satins of commerce would be
of butterfly manufacture. Unfor-
tunately, the difficulty remains un-
solved, though many attempts in this
direction have been made. Could a So
luton of the problem be found, silk
would become at once enormously less
costly, inasmuch as the cocoons of this
kind of butterfly are to be gathered in
immense numbers as wild crop in the
forests of MeXico.-Boston Transcript.
