A FEMALE TRAMP.

Sunday morning woman with four
small children ranging from two to four
years of age was on the streets telling a
story of desertion by her husband and
soliciting aid to go to relatives in Ala>

uted enough to buy them dinner and
tickets to Eufaula.
The woman gees by the name of Bow.

several years she has been visiting the
towns of Georgia and Alabama with the
same story of desertlon, and always finds
people who contribute to her through
sympathy for The dirty and thinly CLAD
tots she pulls around with her.
She was in Dawson about a year ago,
and related the same sad story of deser-
tion aud desire 10 reach relatives.
1t would be an act of humanity TO take
the children from her and send them to
an orphanage.

Curious Bird Habits.

It Is a well-known fact that II the

taken from the nest before they can

attentively II the cage In which the
little birds are inclosed Is placed some
where where the parents can reach 1t:
and a popular but erroneous belief Is
current that they do this for q time.
and end by poisoning tie young ones.
This. however. Is a mistake, the fact
being that at q certain stage OF a
young birds existence. when II IL nat.
urally able to begin catering for itself,
the parent birds, also quite naturally,
cease to attend 1t. and then, IL the
birdlings are shut up in the cage and
their custodian has not thought OF
placing some food at their disposal,
they necessarily die. not from poison
administered by the parents. but from
starving.-Pall Mall Magazine.

In a weighty paper just prepared for
the French Bulletin Med,cal, DR.. Bru-
non, an eminent medical writer, de-
clares that the greatest national peril
hanging over France just now is alco-
holism, and more than all. alcoholism
among women. Singularly enough his
researches have demonstrated that the
women Of picturesque Norm.0ly are
more completely in the grasp OF the
drink fiend than the women OF any 9TH
er province of France. Drink is sold
by the grocer, the coal dealep-even by
the green grocer: and what is still
more fatal, nearly every shopkeeper
dispenses wee drops" to customers
worth cultivating-just to steady the
connection. The question assumes a
dark aspect in its relation to the ter
rible infant mortality in Normandy,
which DR.. Brunon attributes to the al
most universal prevalence of chronic
alcoholisIn among women of the peas
ant and artisan classes.-Londou

No Grass For Working Horses.

It seems almost cruel not to give
horses a feed Of grass occasionally,
even when they are hard working at this
season, when grass and clover arc at
their prime. Yet every farmer knows
that il allowed to run to grass, even
for q few hours, the working horse
will have an attack Of scours. will lose
his appetite for the solid food that
gives him strength, and be incapable
for several days thereafter Of doing
full days work. Horses are exceed
ingly fond Of grass and clover. Some
times, if old nay is scarce, the farmer
tries to economize by cutting some
clover, and after drying it nearly into
hay feeding it in place OF the hay. But
even this has to be given very care
fully or it will work injury. A horse
at work should always be slightly COS
tive. If the excrements grow soft it
means that his efficiency for work is
lessened. If there is too much Co.'S
tiveness tablespoonful of old process
linseed meal which will give strength
will put the bowels in good condition.
That is better than giving grass or
clover which when green furnish little
strength. It is not till late in the
fall that it is safe to feed new hay to
horses that have hard work to do.

Before the land of the enemy every

CALCULATIONS In Many Languages to WARD

In many a family. particularly In
New England, sneeze is generally fol-
lowed by hearty God bless us"
though little thought is ever paid to
the meaning of the phrase or why 1t Il
used. A curious explanation OF the
origin OF the phrase is given. 1t seems
that several centuries ago an epidemic
like our present influenza became rife
all over Europe, the first symptom OF
which was violent sneezing. The pope
at that time prescribed prayers against
the epidemic and recommended GER
tain short CALCULATIONS, to be made
when anyone sneezed In such way as
to show signs Of having contracted the
malady. Hence all over Europe we
have these CALCULATIONS, practically OF
the same character. Italy: "Dio vi
benedica!" in Germany, "Gott segne
dich!" (also "Gesundheit!") in France,
"Dieu vous benisse!" among the Span
lsh speaking people of New Mexico.
Jesus te favorescal!" in Arizona. "Je-
sus to oyude!" The English, GOD
bless you," or God bless u.s." CORE
spends to the Gaelic, 'Dia linn" God
with u.s." Sometimes the response.
"Agus l-uire!" land Mary" is added,
and in violent attacks, "agus Eoin
Baiste," and John Baptist" In New
Mexico they say to children sneezing:
"Dios te haga crecer." God make thee
grow! An equivalent expression b
used In Gaelic as q thank phrase. and
have heard people say In Ireland to q

All day the angry clouds had swept
Athwart a saffron sky,
All day tho restless winds had wept
To natures fearless sigh;
Twas eventide, and enger eyes
stu watched the brazen west
with fearful gaze. while aching throbs
Filled every anxious breast.
Then, suddenly came from above
A thing OF awful form,
The rolling chariot OF Jove,
The monarch OF the storm;
With thnnderous and deadly roar
And black ms Satan's frown,
On cnms the raging, baleful thing
That doomed the happy town.
"Fiy for your lIvesl It's coming down!
The people wildly cry,
But roar on roar their voices drown
Those luckless ones must die.
The coursing couriers OF the air,
The storm kings midnight steeds,
Come laundering down the raven sky,
And naught their course impedes.
Now round and round, In mazes dark
The whlrling monster goes,
And from the inky heavens vault
A shrieking hurricane blows.
All, hear the screams OF wild despair,
Ana sec--tnat mnhgled FORM
Goes kissing through the angry air
There's murder In the storm!
With crash and roar the houses fall,
Or soar aloft on high,
To mingie with the blnckaned smoke
That fills tho weeping sky,
A moment, and tho monsters gone
We pause to gain orr breath,
While DER that smoking ruined path
There broods the hush OF death.
The widows sob, the orphans cry,
The groans that fill the air,
Tho trembling hand, the fearless eye,
Bespeak supreme despair.
And all night long tho faithful toll
Beneath the ruined heap
Until each manglcd form Is found,
And then sit down to weep.

Learning to Play Golf.

The best way to learn the game Of
golf is to get out on the links and prac-
tice it. Over q dozen kinds of clubs
are used, but lack of space makes it
impossible to describe them and their
special uses here. The driver is q
wooden club used for making long
strokes. The putter is made Of iron,
with the exception of the handle, and
is used for making short strokes. The
lofting iron, or club. is for lifting the
ball when it gets into depressions and
has to be driven out, or for lifting the
ball over mounds, fences or other
bunkers. These three clubs are suf-
ficient for the uses of the beginner
