The Anvil Bird.

At dusk in the wilds of the gloomy
Brazilian forest you will think it
strange to hear the clink of a hammer
on an anvil. You would imagine that
you were approaching some settlement,
and the picture of the rudy glow OF
the forge would come up before your
eyes.
But if your guide were a native, he
would tell you that the sound was made
by a campanero, as they call it, al
though to foreigners it is known as the
anvil bind.
This bird is a little larger than a
thrush. The plumage is perfectly white.
the eyes are a pale gray color, and the
naked throat and skin around the eyes
are of a fine bright green, while its
more northerly relative is orange and
black. very much like our oriole.
1t is generally in the early part of the
day that the campanero sends forth the
wonderful note that can be heard at a
distance of three miles. Marvellous in
deed must be the mechanism of the vo-
cal organs of so small a bird to produce
SO f~arreaching a note, but there is no
doubt of the fact, for many travellers
have heard the strange sound uttered
by the bird when perched on the top
most branch of some withered tree. -

Comfort in travelling is an important
consideration, and the newest idea for
a journey is one worth regarding. Dodg-
ing railroad cinders and dust is some
thing not to be thought of. When a
thoroughly clean railroad trip is posi-
BILE. this millennium will have arrived,
and this period is still, according to all
beliefs, a long distance off. But, owing
to a simple thought of a practical man,
the traveller can now protect his or her
hat, which was out of the question be-
fore.
A humble paper bag, obtained from
the nearest grocer, is the god of the ma
chine. This is folded compactly and
slowed away in the pocket lin the hand
bag or purse if the traveller is q woman
and is pocketless). Before the oars start
the bag H. opened, the hat placed there
in, the bag pinned across its mouth and
the whole laid in the rack. Thereafter,
until the destination is all but reached,
the traveller need have no thought OF
his headgear, for no dust or cinders can
reach it. 1t will be found in the best OF
condition upon opening. So simple is
this device that it is n wonder it was
never thought of before. New York

Even on Sundays.
A story is told of an old commodore
at the Boston yard Whose method Of
measuring religious affairs was with
the same memorable rule used for tenn
poral things. One Sunday morning he
was aroused from his nap by something
out of the usual routine being announc-
ed from the pulpit, and he sternly adj
dressed the chaplain with: Whats
that? What's thatf" The chaplain de-
murely repeated the notice that ''by or
der of the bishop of the diocese divine
service will be performed in this chapel
on Thursday evening next" etc.
"By whose order?"
"By order of the bishop of the do
cese, sir"
"Well," Numbered the commodore,
"In let you know that | am bishop Of
this diocese, and when | want service
in this chapel I'll let you know. Pipe
down, and he cleared the chapel.
On occasion he heard a different
voice in the pulpit from usual, and,
looking up, he asked: "Who is that up
there? Is that you. Billy McMasters?"
Eyes, sir"
BILLY was a religious foreman in the
yard who sometimes helped the chap
lain along.)
Come down out of that, " Numbered
the commodore. when | want a relief
for the chaplain, I'll appoint one. Don't
you ever let ms catch you up there
again." and he cleared the chapel
again. ION a Man-of- War"

The highest, If not actually the larg
est, safe In the world has been con
structed in Liverpool by a well-known
safe manufacturing firm for n bank In
Scotland. 1t is a steel structure, quite
as big as many a cottage, or even a
house. 1t is built In two stories, and
is In height rather more than seventeen
feet. Its other measurements are;
Depth, fifteen feet; width, thirteen
feet. The whole is divided off into
rooms or chambers of a fair size. This
enormous safe Is to stand In a large
room, its bottom resting on steel Cir
ders. 1t Is believed that this kind of
n safe Is immensely superior to cham
bers or vaults built of stone, having
nreproof and burglar-proof doors, be-
cause all such vaults can be under
mined, as has actually happened In
more than one instance. As this safe
stands free Of the ground, 1t is, of
course. quite impossible that 1t can be
entered by any process of undermining
without detection. = Cincinnati En-
quirer.

Children a. GrammarIans.

Two little tots of 4 and 8 years re-
spectively, living out Of town, were
anxiously awaiting the arrival of a ia
vorite uncle from whom they were ex-
pecting q visit. The train came in, but
no guest appeared, to the bitter disap-
pointment of the little ones. They ran
to their mother for consolation, the

lie was taken to his bed with pneu-
monia and his overworked brain al
most collapsed. For several weeks he
was seriously i'll.
Catarrh had taken root in his system
and his mind was in a delicate condi-
ton. lie was sent to Colorado where
he spent three months without %receiy-
ing any benefit. Then a noted special
ist from Cleveland treated him without
avail, and then a hospital in Chicago
wal tried, but all absolutely without
benefit. Finally his physician recon-
mended DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and from the first box he
began to improve. When he had taken
nine boxes he was completely cured.
This famous blood and nerve medicine
had accomplished what all his former
expensive treatment failed to accom-
plish. Mr.. Kemper says his catarrh
has entirely left him; he is strong
again and weighs nine pounds more
than he ever did. lie gives the pills
the entire credit. He is starting
teaching again and feels a~bundantly
able to continue the work. To prove
that the above is true in every respect,
Mr.. Kemper made an affidavit as fol-
lows:

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter TO Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. NJ. RANK, No. 1854
East S~usquehanna Ave. Philadelphia,
Pa, is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago Ihad womb trouble
and doetored for a long time. not see-
ing any improvement. At times l
would feel well enough and other
times was miserable. So It went on
until last October, / felt something

time. I was SO depressed in spirits
that | did not wish to live. although l
had everything to live for, Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, l thought I would lose my
mind. No n knows what l endured.
~ continued this way until the last
of February, when l saw in a paper a
testimonial Of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia Il. Pinkham's vegeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try it.

well woman, and a say from my
heart, Thank God for such q medi-
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen

INSECT HEAVY DRINKERS.
Butterflies SIT For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.

Butterflies Sit For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.
By means Of a large number of OBJ
servations Mr.. j. w. Tut is able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted to drink.
In a paper published In the proceed.
ings" of the South London Entomolog-
ical and Natural History society Mr..
Tut says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than is required
by theii tissues under any possible con-
ditions. He has known PoIyommatus
damon TO sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
of sucking up and discharging tho
moisture almost continuously.
What this internal bath may really
mean cannot be surmised. Another i'm
portaut factor as TO this drinking habit
is a strange one, the thirsty SOULS
as far as his observation goes, being al.
most entirely males. Possibly If exact
observations could be made it might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams
for drinking purposes, but as far as Mr..
Tut has been able to discover it is the
males alone who indulge IT. these copi.
Gus libations. while the females arc
away laying eggs. Moths and butter
flies of both sexes visit sugar, oyerripo
fruit and similar dainties, but they do
so for food. The males alone seem to be
attracted by pure water. and Mr.. Tut
suggests that, their extra activity hay
ing originally given them greater need
in this direction, a habit which was at
first a necessity has become SO pleasur.

ly become a vice.
