ANIMALS KNOW THE DAY.
They all Remember That Sunday
Comes Once a Week.

1t is an undoubted fact that many
animals are able to tell from other
days the day that comes betwixt the
Saturday and Monday" The trades
mans dog that accompanies its owner
on week days makes no attempt to turn
out on Sunday. Sparrows and other
birds that come to school Fairgrounds
for the unconsidered trifles they may
pick up at luncheon time do not show
up on Sunday.
Ravens, crows and rocks are most
fearless and do most damage on Sun
day, well knowing that the man with
the gun is an absentee on that day. A
dog that visits for his private ends the
bakers shop every week day morning,
stays at home on Sunday. Other dogs
that have been tied up on Sunday, have
been known to hide themselves on Sat-
urday to avoid this interruption of
their freedom. And collie dogs, not
above the enjoyment of fun and frolic,
have accompanied their masters to
church and behaved with extreme pro-
priety during the service

CLEVER CONTINUANCE.

A cleverly contrived stamping ma
chine and postbox has been invented
by Mr.. David Lewis OF Bridgend, on
the penny-in-the-slot principle. After
placing a penny in the slot the letter
Is placed in an aperture, a knob IS
pressed, and the letter falls into the
box stamped to the amount Of the post
age free and ready for transmission.
BY the mere turning OF key the ma
chine is made 10 stamp any amount of
letters without the pennies, but a
hidden register indicates the number
of letters posted This would make
the postbox a great convenience in
business-houses where a large amount
Of correspondence is carried on. The
Chief Supervisor Of the Postoffice is pre-
pairing a report on the machine.-Lon-

UNIFORM TEMPERATURES.
May Be Maintained by Silk Next the
Skin.

Everyone knows that silk is some
what electric; that is to say, that it
easily becomes charged with electricity
when it is rubbed. In communities
ton to the Franch Association for the
Advancement of Science, at Boulogne,
it has been demonstrated by various
exeriments with registering thermom-
eters that the electricity of a covering
insures the constancy OF the temera-
ture of the body which it covers; It's
sue that can be charged with electric
ity, when warmed tends to cool itself.
and when 1t is cooled tends to warm
itself.
Here is the mechanism of this Curl
Gus PHENOMENON: When the tissue be-
comes warm the air enclosed in its
threads dilates. In dilating-that is
to say, in going out of the tissue-it
rubs and electrifies itself. Electrified,
it returns to discharge itself into the
tissue, but this movement determines
current of air to the surface of the
tissue; consequently there is a cooling.
When the tissue cools the air in
cluded in its threads contracts. In
contracting-that is to say, In pene-
trating into the interior-it rubs and
discharges itself. Electrified, 1t re-
turns to discharge itself at its starting
point. The particle of air then oscil-
lates where 1t is used. II prevents the
access of the cold outer air; therefore.
it produces a relative warming.
To sum up: In tissue that can be
electrified there is in the case of warm
ing tendency to cool again; in the
case of cooling a tendency to warming
again. In short, we are in the pres
ence OF one of those autoregulating
mechanisms of which examples are
found in many chapters Of natural
philosophy, and which are destined to
In -ure the stability of nature.

WOMAN'S TEARS, IDLE TEARS.
Modern Goddess Is No Longer a Weep
ing Niobe.

What has become of woman's tears
idle tears? A cynical old bachelor
lately remarked in the hearing of a
woman that he wondered what had be-
come of all the crying members of her
sex. He said that he had not seen a
woman cry in some years, and that, sc
far as he could see, there are just as
many things to cry over as as there
ever were, and just as many women.
He did not object to the absence of
tears; he only wondered about it.
This thing has received attentions
of various kinds before now. 1t was
first noticed in the novels. The young
woman in modern fiction does not do
nearly so much weeping as she used
to do. To be sure, she has not always
so much excuse for it. When a young
lady was carried away by fierce ana
determined lover whom she did not
want, and told that unless she married
him at once her family and all her
immediate friends would be killed,
there was really considerable excuse
lOl ICdlo anu oWOOnS On llCl pal
This type of heroine fiourished in the
beginning of the present century. She
was followed by the heroine, who cried
as a child does, to get something she
wanted-and usually got it, if it hap
pened not to be the moon or anything
equally unattainable.
Sometimes she was young lady of
religious predictions and shed tears
own religious sentiments. 1t has been
estimated by careful statisticians that
Miss Ellen Montgomery, heroine of
The Wide, Wide World, must have
shed at least five gallons, two quarts
and one pint of tears in the course of
her adventures in two volumes. But
the young lady in the modern work of
fiction does not cry. If she is of a
passionate nature she now and then
bursts into a storm of sobs," but she
does not often do it, as old-fashioned
people would say, before folks" She
is more likely to preserve a calm and
more or less uncomprehended silence.
Another type of modern heroine is
the CHEEKY girl who endures all her
fluctuations in silence, or laughs about
them, and is the sunshine of the fam
lily circle while her heart is secretly
breaking. 1t must be confessed that
this type of young lady would be con-
siderably more to the taste of the ord
mary man than the old-fashioned type
of fearful patience. The mans wo-
man"-courageous gay, tolerant and
reserved as to her private feelings-is
coming to the front in fiction, and this
ideal is decidedly worth studying by
the novel-reading girls of today.

A SONG.

The rose takes earth's kisses for
its meat;
The rose-leaf makes its blush from the
suns heat,
The rose-scent wakes--who knows
from what thing sweet?
Who knows
The secret of the perfume OF the rose
"A rose ungathered is but rose:
Pluck II. lover, don't mind a thorn,
Tuck II away In your bosom-clothes
And drink its beauty from night to
morn"

lips cling tight.
Prune, gardener! keep those bushes 10

Then, gardener. sleep. He brings this
scent by night.

Pale, pale are the rose lips. sweet,
Red Is the heart Of the rose.
But red are the lips mine meet.
And your heart white as the

THE GOLDnN-CROWN SPARROW
OF ALASKA.

oh, minstrel of these borean hills,
Where twilight hours are long,
I would my boyhood's fragrant days
Had known the plaintive song.
Had known thy vest of ashen gray,
Thy coat of drab and brown,
The bands of jet upon thy head
That clasp thy golden crown.
We heard thee call in cold White Pass,
Where cloud and mountain meet,
Again where Muir's graf glacier shone
Far spread beneath our feet.
l bask me now on emerald heights
To catch thy faintest strain,
But cannot tell If in thy lay
Be more of joy or pain.
Far off behold the snow-white peaks
Athwart the seas blue shade;
Anear there rise green Kadiak hills.
Wherein thy nest is made.
| hear the wild bees mellow chord,
In airs that swim above;
The lesser hermit tunes his flute
To solitude and love.
But thou, sweet singer of the wild,
l give more heed to thee;
Thy wistful note of fond regret
Strikes deeper chords in me.
Farewell, dear bird! / turn my face
To other skies than thine
A thousand leagues of land and sea
Between thy home and mine

THE maid OF honor editor OF the
Democrat, in a screed in Mondays S
issue, attempts TO justify the board
OF county commissionersior letting
the county printing to that sheet
at full legal rates. He says the
republican commissioners did the
same thing last year to republican
newspaper, which IS quite true, bu,
the board had no option in the
matter. Every newspaper IN the
county, including the yirtuous
Democrat, which rails so bitterly
against trusts in its heavy editor
ials secured from patent Office
in Washington IN payment Tor ad'
vcr,ising, bid legal rates and the
contract was let to the Rocky Ford
Times Republican. Never in the
history OF this county has the
board OF county commissioners let
the printing 10 a newspaper at iail
legal rates when there were other
bids in at lower rate. The maid
OF honor editor simply begs the
question at issue. His assertion
that the county clerk and treasurer
both asked for an increase this
year in the amour, allowed fol
deputy hire is plain, unvarnished
lie OF the pures, ray serene.
Both OF these officials deny the
assertion, aud We believe them
to be truthful and honorable gen
tlemen something the maid oi

for the reservoir from the Home
Place Company Tor $3.50, but neg
lec,ed to close the deal and secure
a deed for the property. Now
that the reservoir is nearly com
ple,ed they find that the provisions
OF the deed are not to their liking,
and some OF the city dads declare
that they will not accept them un-
der any circumstances A clause
is inserted in the deed which per-
mits residents OF Home Place to
the same privileges in regard to
the use o. city water that is granted
to consumers within the corporate
limits. The Home Place people
are outside OF the city limits and
do not pay city taxes, and to grant
them the use OF city Improvements
without an adequate consideration
would be an injustice. The Home
Place Company maintain, however,
that an adequate consideration was
given when the city was permitted
to lay its water mains across twenty
acres Of property from Ration ave
nue. to the reservoir, and it was SO
understood BY the city officials who
made the deal for the property.
There is talk of condemnation pro-
ceedings being instituted and a

be the essence OF wisdom for the
