To Raise tho Kangaroo.

A movement has been started in
France which has for It's purpose the
preservation, Dr., rather. the cultivation
OF the kangaroo, which has been rap
idly proceeding toward determination.
DR.. Brisson, a French surgeon. says
that there is likely soon to be an ex-
ceptional demand for the animals In
consequence of the success attending
the use of the kangaroo tendon in the
hospitals. 1t has been employed In
scores of instances to tie up the frac-
tured bones of a mans leg, in order
that he may use his knees while the
bones are knitting together. Kanga-
roo tendon, he says. is as strong as
silver wire. 1t Is taken from the tail,
and being animal in its nature is alb
sorbed, and the leg does not have to be
cut open, as is necessary when silver
wire Is used.

Have Insects Favorite CoIors.

1t has been asserted that insects
are particularly attracted by the colors
Of certain flowers. Felix Plateau, after
investigating the conduct of insects in
their visits to various flowers, con-
cludes that while they may perceive
colors and thus be enabled to distin-
guish. at a distance. between flowers
and leaves, yet they show no prefer
ences among the different colors. Blue,
red, yellow, white are Indifferent to
them. He thinks that the ordor Of
flowers affects insects more than their
colors do.

Sunshine and Sugar.

The experiments of the French
grape growers in Algeria have shown
that too much sunshine is %unfavorable
for the making of good wine. = In the
more temperate climate of France
grapes possess a proper proportion OF
sugar to acid for wine making. but the
hot Algerian sunshine induces so ac-
tive an assimilation by the vines that
the quantity of acid is reduced and
that of sugar increased. In conse-
quence the wine makers of Algeria are
driven to many devices for improving
the flavor and lasting qualities of their
wines.

sickly smile.

.coming Down with a Parachute.

Coming down from the clouds in a
parachute is like q dream" said a cir
Gus balloon artist. Ever dream Of
falling from a high place? You come
down, alight quietly and awake, and
you're not hurt. Well, that's the para
chute drop over again. No; there is no
danger 4 parachute can be guided
readily on the down trip, but you can't
steer balloon. To guide a parachute
out of harms way a practiced hand
can tilt it one way or the other, spill
out air and thus work it to where you
want to land or to avoid water, trees,
chimneys or church spires.
'tCircus ascensions are generally
made in the evening. When the sun
goes down, the wind goes down. The
balloon then shoots into the air, and
the parachute drops back on the circus
lot or not far away.
ga balloon is made of 4 cent muslin
and weighs about 500 pounds. A para
chute is made of cent muslin. The
rope that secures the parachute is cut
with a knife. The aeronaut drops
fully 100 feet before the parachute be-
gins to fill. It must fill if you're UP
high enough. Invariably the fall is
head first. When the parachute be-
gins to fill, the descent is less rapid,
and finally when the parachute has
finally filled it bulges out with a pop.
Then the aeronaut climbs on to his ira
peze and guides the parachute to a safe
landing. In seven cases out of ten you
can land back on the lot where you
started from."-New York News.

LADIES' COLUMN.
THE GRACES OF SOCIAL LIFE.

Avery noticeable point of difference
between the conversation of a gath
ering of what is known as fashionable
society and social gathering of
unsophisticated people, is that the
former do not talk over their troubles
or their health. They have schooled
themselves to suppress their feelings,
to talk of impersonal subjects, to be
gracious and attractive to those about
them, and to avoid whatever may be
unpleasant in conversation.
There should be no need to enter
this society in order to initiate their
example in this respect. Even if
ones life is narrow, self may be, in a
measure, forgotten when we are with
others; and it is a doubtful sort of
pleasure that one can get from the
rehearsal of private woes or i'll health
Even the most inquisitive and preying
soon tire of hearing this, and it is
often said by one person of another
that she is bore, constantly talking
of her aches and pains.
cannot hear such remarks. 1t would
be shock doubtless, but in the end
kindness. A good plan is for person
to forget herself and what others may
be thinking of her. One must be
broad, open, generous, and kindly
tempered, in order to wear the small
courtesies easily and naturally.
In the desire for sympathy from
friends, one is apt to be selfish, and to
forget that each one has his or her
own share of troubles in this world.
No one is exempt, and what we are
all instinctively craving is happiness
and freedom from care, which we can
not get through the tale of another's
sufferings. It is the old story so well
told in the lines:
"Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.''
