ssshut Your Month -

George Catlin wrote a pamphlet eIti-
tied "Shut Your Mouth" to show the
bad effects Of breathing through the
open mouth. He did not tell us how to
keep the mouth shut during sleep.
I take clean white cotton string Is
or 20 inches long, put the middle part
of 1t in my mouth and tie it loosely on
my neck just behind my mouth. My
lips and tongue seize 1t and hold it as
long as 1t Is in my mouth. This process
is not patented and costs nothing

Old Gooseberry For New Ships.
1t may be ungenerous to dispel pop-
ular delusion, but there is no one
among the thousands who witness a
ship launch who does not believe that
the beautifully garlanded bottle of
wine broken against the stem of a ship
is anything but the choicest brand of
champagne drawn from the admiraps
cellar. Whenever ship is launched in
Q dockyard, the admiralty generously
allow f40 as the cost of the jubilation,
and included In this sum of f40 is the
item Of shillings for wine. Hence 1t
follows that not only is the wine not
drawn from the admiraps cellar, but It
certainly is not champagne of foreign
vintage.-English Navy and Military

The Diet of the Phoebe.

Among the early spring arrivals al
the north none are more welcome than
the phoebe. Though naturally building
its nest under an overhanging cliff OF
rock or earth or In the mouth Of a cave
its preference for the vicinity of farm
buildings Is SO marked that in the more
thickly settled parts of the country the
bird is seldom seen at any great dis
tance from farmhouse except where
a bridge spans some stream, affording
secure spot for nest. Its confiding
disposition has rendered 1t a great ia
vorite, and consequently it is seldom
disturbed. It breeds throughout the
United States east Of the great plains
and winters from the south Atlantic
and gulf states southwark.
The phoebe subsists almost entirely
upon insects, most Of which are caught
on the wing. These species are mostly
harmful. Small wild fruits and ber-
ries comprise the vegetable food. No
cultivated fruits are disturbed by the
phoebe. 1t Is evident that pair of
ph9bes must materially reduce the
number Of insects near a garden or
field, as the birds often, If not always,
raise two broods year. and each brood
numbers from four to six young.-Los
Angeles Times.

Lfncoinss Prophecy.

During the civil war President Lin
coin discussed the impracticability of
maintaining a discovered country and
submitted some proposed amendments
to the constitution looking to the
elimination of slavery, without which,
he said, "the rebellion could never have
existed" His plan was to purchase
emancipation In a period of 81 years,
and he entered into an elaborate argu-
ment to show that this would be more
prudent and economical than to con-
tinue the war. This led him to forecast
the probable increase in population,
which he believed would continue at
its normal rate of growth. He said:
AT the same ratio Of increase which
we have maintained on an average
from our first national census, in 1870,
until that Of 1860, we should in 1900
have population Of 1O3,2OS, 415, and
! why may we not continue that ratio
far beyond that period? . - We have
100000 square miles. Europe has
100000, with population averaging
73 1-3 persons to the square mile Why
may not our country at some time aver
age as many? IS Several Of our
states are already above that average,
and yet they have increased in as
rapid ratio since passing that point
as before."-New Lippincott.
