A CALENDAR THAT STAYS.

The calendar crop is never short, a.
the post office people will testify. We
always get our share, and begin the
new year with a great assortment,
but the one we select for keeps" is
that of N w. Aver & Son, the keep
ing everlastingly at it advertising men
of Philadelphia. This one spends the
whole year in our company. 1t Is
piece of fine printing, but It's gooo
looks do not constitute it's sole charm.
1t is clear and plain. Utility has been
put first He who seeks the date can
find he who writes may read. The mat
ter on in interests more people every
year, but the edition Is limited. While
they last a copy can be obtained
postpaid by sending 25 cents to the
publishers.

Oue.r F.ct. About ch;n..

China, or ''the Celestial Empire" as
it u sometimes called, is land Of mys-
terry and curiosities to most Of u.s. From
an American point of view the Chinese
do many things upside down." and
even nature seems to ape this, to us,
contrary system. For instance, the
Hwang-ho. or Yellow River. one Of the
two largest rivers in the emDire.
through a large portion Of its course Is
higher than the surrounding plain. An.
other river. the Han Keang, il only 200
feet wide at Its mouth. but grows wider
as the distance from its mouth increas-
es. In the summer this river is higher
than its natural banks, with the result
that, were 1t not for walls that hold the
water In check, the surrounding coun-
try would be under water for the great.
er part Of the year.

The shrike's ordinary method OF cap.
turning prey closely resembles that OF
the Hy-catcher. to which, however. II
is not really related. The resemblance
is merely one Of those due to similar
lty Of habit
Every well-conducted butcher-bird
has q settled perch or pitch on which
be sits to watch and wait, and to which
he returns after each short excursion.
Flies and bees he catches on the wing,
darting down upon them suddenly
with a swoop like a king-fsher's; but
he also often takes them sitting. espe-
cially when they are seated on a leaf
CT q branch, or are eating carrion.
One Of his favorite hunting boxes is
u telegraph wire, and he prefers one
that crosses the corner Of a wood; there
he will sit with his head held sapiently
on one side. keeping a sharp lookout
from his beady brown eyes in every di-
rectton. If q bee hight on a head OF
clover, II a cockchafer stir, IL q mouse

woe bstide the poor innocent; our
butcher bird is upon him. with a fierce,
darting beak, and in ten seconds more
his writhing body adds to the store In
the shrike's larder.
A geod place and time to watch a
butchsr-bird at work is In quiet field
by q copse Just after the moving. But
you must hide carefully. The short
grass is then full OF beetles, crickets
and grasshoppers, as well as Of mice.
shrews and lizards, which can conceal
themselves less easily than they were
wont to do in the long hay before the
cutting.
At such times, hawks and owls made
a fine livelihood in the fields; but their
habit is to hunt their quarry on the
open. They hover and drop upon 1t.
That is not the butcher-bird's plan; he
Is a more cautious and secret fo,; he
sits casually on his branch or his tele-
graph wire. with his head on one side.
till his prey stirs visibly; then he
pounces on him from above, making a
short excursion each time, and return
ing to rest on his accustomed position.
When he catches bird, and eats it at
once, he begin, by splitting 1t on a
thorn; then he attacks the skull first.
breaking 1t through and eating the
brain, which is his favorite tid-bit. He
also raids on the nests of other birds,
and carries OF the nestlings.-Grant

''The family doctor should din it in

the feet. No child should be allowed
