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

Helpless Birds That Arc 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 eb- ieets and killed. Shore birds, when fac- ing gale, will take every advantage of frees 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 headway. They frequent Ky advance before the gale by a series of side eyelutions, flying at right angles to the wind until they have attained con. siderable velocity, aud then wheeling about straight against the wind and making some headway 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 fre- quently blown out to sea by strong hurricane, where some of them have been picked up by fishermen. In nearly all such instances they are caught by tho gale when high in the air, and be- fore they can recover themselves they gre 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 tho shore in the face of the wind. On our inland lakes and rivers this is a more common sight than along ths 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 thsy 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 luekless victims can be found on the beaches of our Atlantic coast. t.-0ur Animal Friends

Irish Dueling Code.

The Irish dueling code has been adopted with certain notifications by duelists both in England and the Unit ed States. It was drawn up by the Irish bar at the Clonmel assizes in 1777 and appears to aim at so arranging matters that no Irishman anxious to fight shall be baked by his wish. "The first off, fense requires the first apology, al- though the retort may be more offen- sive. !" After one fire the retort may be explained away. But if either par ty," the code hastens to add, would rather fight on, after two shots each the principal who made the retort may explain and then the original offender tender his apology" "When the lie direct is the first offense, the aggressor must either beg pardon in express terms exchange two shots previous to apolo- gy, or three shots followed by ex- planation, or fire on till severe hit be scored by one of the parties. ' ''No dumb firing, or firing in the air, is admissible. D In slight cases the sec ond hands his principal but one pistol, ill gross cases two, holding another case ready charged in reserve.

Read and Prayed.

A writer in the Rochester Post-Ex- press tells a good story about an English bookseller of whom a lady inquired for pne of Browning's works, and the good man answered that he had given up keeping Browning, and what was more he had tried to read him and could make nothing out of any of his poems. "Indeed, ;" the lady answered, and then, being in search of another poet, she added, ''But have you Praed?' ''Yes, indeed, ma'am, I haze prayed over it, but still I get no light. J

CYCLING AND ASTHMA.
| London Physician Says the Former VIII
 Cure the Latter.

Dr. Marcel of London recommends bicycle riding as a remedy for asthma. Here is what he says about 1t in let ter to The Medical Record: 'H asthma is a form of mountain sickness and if that distressing affection of high alti- tudes can be cured by training for the exercise of climbing, why should not asthma also yield to the training of the respiration carried out by praeticing the respiratory movements needed to carry the tidal air through the lungs? Of all means of training respiration 1 think cycling is the best. When person first takes a cycling exercise, it will be found, especially on going up hill, that the breath is wanting, the heart beats uncomfortably and the legs tire, but after training these discomforts disap- pear, nothing will be thought of ascend ing hills, the heart has become perfectly comfortable, all breathlessness has dis appeared and the legs will no longer feel any fatigue.
 Cycling exercise, first of all, in- creases the depth of breathing, and that without fatigue, as the respiratory movements are automatic. At the same time it will accustom the rider instinct lively to take in at each respiration the volume of air required to aerate the blood. Persons who do not care for ey- cling out of doors can take the same kind of exercise at home by means of a dummy cycle, consisting of an iron wheel driven by pedals, the resistance of the wheel being so contrived as to simulate bicycle riding. A strap carried partly around the rim of the wheel can be frightened at will by the rider, thus increasing the labor and recalling the effort of riding up hill. My experience of the results of this treatment is unfor- tunately limited to only one person. In this case it has proved eminently suo- oessful. This person took to bicycle rid ing three years ago for pleasure and in very great moderation for the first two years. He observed that the attacks of asthma to which he was subject became fewer. The tightness and wheezing which occurred every night have now entirely disappeared. "

Smoking Statistics.

Holland holds the first place in the world as nation of smokers. Every Dutchman consumes on an average 100 ounces a year. The Belgian comes a good second with an annual consump- sion of 80 ounces followed closely by Turkey with 70 ounces and the United States with 60 ounces. Germany, France, Spain and Italy tread closely on their heels, while the United Kingdom comes comparatively low on the list with 93 ounces. London Tit-Bits.

THE SMILE OF A CHILD.
he smile of child to weary heart, | -l.-. H. |. i....A=. III.

The smile of child to weary heart, Like dew on the thirsty earth, fs a springing well whence teardrops start In flow of joy from living worth. The smile of child is gift from hearsn. Frightening the way of toil; E1i1e golden clouds floating at even, Bathing with beauty Gods flower gem
 med soil; Like incense as it's fragrance waves And floats on the air the while Meath richly sculptured architraYes Or thicl1ly 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 child. --Clark W. Bryan in Good Housekeeping.

Maohinery and Modern Farming.

The smallest implement upon big wheat farm is blow. And from the blow to the elevator-from the first operation in wheat farming to the last ---one is forced to realize how the spirit of the age has made itself felt here and has reduced the amount of human labor to the minimum. The man who blows uses his muscle only incidentally in guiding the machine. The man who operates the harrow has half dozen levers to tighten his labor The "sower who goeth forth to sow, walks leisure ly behind drill and works brakes. The reaper needs a quick brain and a quick hand, but not necessarily a strong arm nor powerful back. He works sitting down.
 Tine thrashers are merely assistants to q machine, and the men who heave the wheat into the bins only press but tons. The most desirable farmland is not the fellow who can pound the s'mauling machinea most lustily at the county fair. He is the man with the cunning brain who can get the most work out of a machine without break ing 1t. The farm laborer in the west to- day, where machinery is employed, finds himself advanced to the ranks of skilled labor and enjoys position not widely different from that of the mill hand in the east. Each is a tender of machine. William Allen White in Scribner's

NO MACINTOSH.
Contrary Effects of the Absence of One on
 Friend of Colonel Ca1liper.

'sI knew a man once,'' said Colonel Calliper, ia young man who had ev- erything that heart could wish for who notwithstanding that fact was a pretty sane and sensible sort of young man, but who nevertheless did at times in his younger days before he had learn ed the philosophy of life occasionally have periods of depression. In one of these on his way home once from Eu- rope he came to the conclusion that life wasn' t worth living, and he made up his mind to end it all right there by jumping overheard. AS he looked over the rail and realized how wet the wa ter was and how much there was of it he knew that he ought not to go out in 1t without mackintosh.
 ''Going below, he discovered that he had neglected to bring one. On this oo- casion of all others when he wanted one most he had none. But he couldn't think of eneountering the wet inappro- priately clad, and so he deferred jump- ing overheard until he could do so in proper form. Next morning, with the resiliency of youth, he was feeling bet ter, and he arrived in New York buoy ant, hopeful and strong.
 "And, euriously enough, while in other respects he remained as punotil- ious as ever about his dress he never after that wore a macintosh, and he went ont in all sorts of weather with out hesitation. It was his carelessness in this regard that led finally to his death, Out without a mackintosh in a heavy rain at the age of 97, he caught cold that settled on his lungs, develop ed into pneumonia and carried him off, and so it may be said of my friend that he owed his long life and his death to the same cause.

A plan for rendering paper as tough as wood or leather, it is said, has been recently introduced on the continent. It consists in mixing chloride of zinc with Che pulp in the course of manufacture. 1t has been found that the greater the degree of concentration of the zinc solu- eion tho greater will be the toughness us tho paper,

Our Citizen Sailors.

At the outbreak of the Revolutionary
War England had justly earned her title
Of Ruler of the Waves" The British
sailor had proved in many a hard
fought fight that he could, up to that
time, whip anything afloat."
Surely and slowly, however, a great
power was growing. A power that he
was destined soon to meet, and a power
that was to lower his flag that had
floated so proudly for so long.
The time arrived, and with 1t the
men. The American sailor came into
being, and he swept the sea before him.
From Portland, Portsmouth, Glouces-
ter, Marblehead and New Bedford there
sprung, as If by magic, a race Of men
fit to conquer the earth and the waters
thereof.
: They were only fishermen, merchant
sailors, whalers and even longshore-
men, but they carried the American
flag victorious to the four corners of
the world. The British navy was the
largest and most powerful then known,
but the citizen sailors of America
laughed 1t to scorn and sailed their
ships into the harbors Of old England
itself.
They were not only fighters, but they
were leaders, too, and the names Of
Jones, Lawrence and Perry stand with
those of Nelson and Drake In later
years the deeds of Decatur and Farra-
gut are equally glorious, and the Amer
lean sailor, whether he comes from
Kennibunk or Key West, is rated first
among the mariners of all nations.
The spiri. is there, too, as well as
the skill and daring If America has
need again of her sailor boys she will
find them ready, and famous fisher
men fighters of '76 will find fitting de-
scendants in the whitehead Naval Re-
serve of '9S.

BUYING CAVALRY HORSES.

An Experts Table oiving the Essential
|. Points They Should Possess.
Capt. Benjamin H. Chesver, tho
dandy Of the Dandy Sixth" knows all
that there Is to be known about horses.
But Capt Cheever says that horses
are not intelligent. "A horse Is slave
to habit" he said to Sunday World
reporter. For brute intelligence the
horse is not to be mentioned with the
dog. There is no comparison. say
that sftsc twenty-three years close ex-
perisace with the horse.
In selecting cavalry horses for the
Gsrvtos 70 must have animals that can
b turned into the ranks ready for
work.
1.-THE nervous, crazy horse Is as bad
body by the ears. The worst Of 1t 10
that he usually develops these traits
late In life. That IL why I recommend
buying horse between five and eight
years old. You can never tell how
colt is going to pan out. II put to
work too young he Is apt to break
down. Here 10 table giving the es-
sential points Of good horse:
l. Sound in every particular. wind
and-limb.
2. Short coupled and broad checked.
3. Good, healthy color, clean limbs
and good coat
4. Between five and eight years old.
s. Weight between 1000 and 100
pounds.
6. Between Is and 15h hands high.
: z. A half-bred is more durable than
thoroughbred for rough riding.
8. Free from bad habits-neither
nervous nor vicious.
, 10. An ambitious animal.
Sometimes you may pick up a good
horse that weighs less than 1000
pounds, but should prefer not to take
chances. The height mentioned gives
a chunky, sound horse, that does not
run to legs.
! THE Government officers who select
cavalry horses think a bay the best
color. 1t is more apt to be healthy
and sound. They won't have white
horse at any price. The enemy can see
them at night. don't know why peo-
pie who make pictures of generals in
battle want to put them on white
horses. A soldier who expects to get
into hot place never gets on one II he
can avoid 1t. A black horse Is equally
Objectionable to the cavalryman. My
experience is that the best horses come
from Kentucky"

sandbagged by Masked Robbers

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 24.-Five masked
men sandbagged, bound and gagged
Night Waterman Brennan at the Dick
son City brewery at an early hour in
the morning and then blew open the
safe. They secured $500 In cash, some
diamonds belonging to George Hof-
magic, manager Of the company, and
other valuables to the total value
of about $500. Waterman Bren-
nan was not badly hurt. There
is no clue to the men. That they
were a desperate lot Is evident. After
looting the safe they found Brennan
had regained consciousness and one
of the gang hit him a blow on
the head with the butt of a revolver,
again rendering him unconscious.
Brennan was found by Manager Hof-
magic, whose is next to the brewery,
and who was awakened by the barking
of his dog.

Johnstown, Pa. Aug. A.-The indus.
trial convention to be held In this city
in October next Is already assuming
large proportions. though the details
of the same are not yet sent out to
all the various interests that are en-
braced in the call. N. F. Thompson,
secretary of the Jamestown board Of
trade, under whose auspices the con-
vention is to be held has received a
letter from Senator Penrose. who is
O member of the national industrial
commission, to the effect that as soon
as the commission is completed, which

to obtain their attendance on this con-
vention. Colonel A. X. Mcclure, Of the
Philadelphia Times, has agreed to be
present and deliver the principal adj
dress.
All employers Of labor and all labor
unions will be asked to present their
views, respectively, regarding the right
relation between labor and capital,
while the press and representatives Of
commercial bodies will be asked to
consider these relations, together with
business conditions and other industrial
problems. All this data will be ten
dered the national Industrial commits
sion for their use in the investigation
Of the matters that called for their ap-
pointment.
1t is further contemplated to invite
all the candidates now in the field for
governor to attend this convention,
with the view that the leaders of all
political parties may be brought to the
fullest possible understanding Of the
industrial and commercial interests Of
the state.
Everything indicates that the con-
vention will be most notable one, and
Of great practical value at this time to
the entire country.
