How Birds Migrate.

Many of the smaller and weaker
birds, like the fly catchers, vireos,
wrens, kinglets and bluebirds, in order
10 avoid their enemies, the hawks,
make their long flights by night, stop
ping for rest and food in the daytime.
The larger and bolder ones. like the
hawks and crows, and those of ex-
tremely rapid fight, like the swallows
and humming birds, migrate fearlessly
by day, and there are some, like the
Canada geese, which travel just when
they choose, by day or night. Migrat-
ing birds usually fly at a height Of
from one to three miles, and this ena-
blcs them to see the rivers, the noun
tain ranges and the coast line. BY
these they direct their course, the old
birds remembering the way they came
before and the young ones following

Swallowing Abilities of Snakes

The jaws of the chicken snake, says
Texan, are hung on hinges that can
be taken apart or displaced for the
time being, as the case may be, and an
entire Texas cottontail rabbit can be
persuaded to enter, head and ALL with
little effort, and the body, being made
of india rubberlike material and very
stretchable, the kicking little animal
soon finds lodgment in the stomach.
His snakeship then carefully resets
his jaws so that his mouth assumes
it's normal size and blissfully reposes
for the succeeding six hours. The
powerful gastric juice does the bal
ance, and no Texan can testify that he
ever heard a chicken snake suffering
from indigestion or chronic dyspepsia.
The capture and digestion of chickens,
song birds, turkey eggs and rats con-
stitute simple pastime to the chicken
snake and do not call for q six hour
layoff in feeding time.

fry to Get Out of the Gloom and the
shadows OF Life.
Nothing contributes more to the high
est success tLan the formation of the
habit of enjoying things. Whatever
your calling in life may be. whatever
misfortunes or hardships may come to
you. make up your mind resolutely
that, come what may, you will get the
most possible real enjoyment out of ev-
cry day; that you will increase your
capacity for enjoying life by trying to
knd the sunny side of every experience
of the day. Resolutely determine that
you will see the humorous side of
things. No matter how hard or un-
yielding your environment may seem
to be, there is Il sunny side If you can
only see it. The mirth provoking fac
ulty, even under trying circumstances,
Is worth more to young man or wo-
man starting out in life than n fortune
without it. Make up your mind that
you will be an optimist; that there
shall be nothing of the pessimist about
you; that you will carry your own sun
shine wherever you go.
There Is longevity in the sunny soul
that eases our jolts and makes our
sides shake with laughter.
There is n wonderful medicinal effect
in good cheer. Good news and glad IT,
dings have magic effect even upon
invalids.
We often see whole store or factory
or home transformed by one sunny
soul. On the other hand, we have seen
them blighted and made dark by

In a book entitled Domestic Man
ners of the Middle Ages" we are told
that in those days dinner tables were
covered by a 'nappe," or tablecloth
Upon it were placed large saltcellar,
bread and cups for wine, but no knives
or plates. The reason for the absence
of the knives arose from the common
practice in vogue of people carrying
their own knives in sheath attached
to their girdle.
In an early work, written by Lyd-
gate-"Rules For Behavior at Table,
the guests are told to bring no knives
unsecured to the table, which can only
mean that each one was to keep his
own knife-that is, the one he carried
with him-clean.

A Remarkable Sentence.

The Latin sentence, "Sator arepo ten
ct opera rotas," which is, it must be
admitted, pretty bad Latin, is a curios-
ity nevertheless. 1t can be freely trans
lated as 81 cease from my work; the
sower will wear away his wheels" Its
fine oddities are these:
1t spells the same backward as for
ward.
The first letter of each word spells
the first word.
The same may be said of the second,
third, fourth and fifth letters.
The last letters, read backward, spell
the first word, the next to the last the
second word, and so on throughout.
There are just as many letters in
each word as there are words in the
sentence.

WHAT MOVED THE DOGp
A Remarkable story of Canine In
taIIircuna ,pJ ARacttnu

A Remarkable story of Canine In
teIIiGcnce and Affection.
Among the tales told of the intelli-
gence and affection of our canine
friends by Mrs. Sarah X. Bolton in her
book, "Our Devoted Friend, the Dog"
Is the story of Dan, deerhound owned
by Mr.. l.. G. Meachamp of Homer, La.
Mr. Meachamp was one day going ON
a squirrel hunt and, not wishing Dan
to accompany him, tied the dog to a
post by rope. Dan whined and beg
at last 10y down quietly before his
kennel.
1t was growing dusk and time for
the hunter to return when Mrs. Mea-
champ was suddenly disturbed by the
whining and barking of the dog, who
had been quiet all day up to that time.
She spoke to the dog, but instead Of
being pacified at this attention he re-
doubled his exertions and broke the
rope which held him. Then he bounded
away, over the fence and into the
woods.
He was gone perhaps half an hour
when he came running back, painting
and almost breathless, with his mas
ter's hat in his mouth.
Mrs. Meachamp became at once
alarmed, and, calling her son, they set
off to find the missing man, Dan all
the time bounding ahead and leading
the way. At length they came upon
Mr.. Meachamp lying helpless in the
woods, where he had fallen into little
ditch and broken his leg
The accident happened, as nearly as
could be reckoned, at the moment
when the dog began to show his un-
easiness. That he should have had
knowledge of the accident seems in
credible, but his master firmly be-
lievcs that he did know it and that it
was because he knew it that he was so
anxious to get away.

Beauty And Strength

Arc desirable. You are strong and
vigorous, when your blood is pure. Many
nay most-women, fail to properly
digest their food, and so become pale,
sallow, thin and weak, while the bright
ness, freshness and beauty of the skin
and complexion, depart. Remedy this
unpleasant evil, by eating nourishing
food, and taking a small dose of Herbine
after each meal, to digest what you have
eaten. SOC at i. Taggart's.

a Corn Cure.

To cure corns get little gutta percha
tissue from a druggist, cut it into strips
and then wind piece round the corn,
which must first be moistened with oil.
See that the edges of the tissue are as
even as possible, and when you have
wound it round wet the inside of the
end with spirits of turpentine. This
will cause it to stick firmly if you
press it down. With feather dipped
i'll turpentine touch the edges of the It's
sue, and they will unite. Leave for
four days, then take off the dressing,
and you will be able to remove the
corn with the back of penknife.

Dreadful Attack of Whooping Cough.

Dreadful Attack of Whooping Cough.
Mrs. Ellen Harrison, Of 300 Park

"Our two children had severe attack of
whooping cough, one of them in the
paroxysm of coughing would often faint
and bleed at the nose. We tried every
thing we heard OF without getting relief.
We then called in our family doctor who
prescribed Foley's Honey and Tar. With
the very first dose they began to improve
and we feel that it has saved their lives" :"

A School Of Romances
From The Cleveland Plain Dealer

FROM the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One OF Chicago's most versatile col
lege professors proposes TO add a de-
| partment of novel writing TO his aca,
demic grove, where IL win touch elbows
with the departments of poetry and
journalism. The professors believe
uhat novel writing can be taught with
the same facility that the other
branches can, and there are few persons
with opinions worthy OF attention who
viii doubt this The professor will
seize upon the embryo Balzac, or Hugo.
or Dickens, or Hawthorne, and develop
him at rate that those eminent nar-
rators never dreamed OF attempting.
From time to time the professor will
save from mercantile or mechanical
obscurity examples of genius that
otherwise would be lost to the world
OF course, as a forerunnSr in this new
field, he will adopt certain novel meth
DDS OF establishing the budding novelist
on firm footing. For instance, in an
earnest effort TO clear the mental alt
mosphere of the Juvenile beginner, he
suggests that the first three works OF
the young romancer be destroyed He
doesn't explain why ne pauses at three,
but, OF course he must pause some
where, and TO destroy more might be
too great a disccuragement for the un-
happy victim of this heroic process.
AS far as known, the professor, up TO
the present time, has failed to turn out
any eminent poets Oh noted newspaper
men. but he doesn't despair He may
have better luck with his novalists.
And yet III would be quite too hypocriti-
cal to express the hope that he will
succeed. There are altogether too
many story writers in the field now Ito
make this plan of graduating them in
classes ait all pleasing to the reading
public.

Durham and others Of equal erudaion.
1t should have as its motto: "Pennsyl-
yania has no ills worth mentioning"
The project moves us to observe that
the scheme would not be bad Ito apply
to Delaware. BY glossing over a few
of the deviltries which have blessed us
in the last few years, we shcmid feel
better. The tuought should bring re-
lief TO our hearts. We have been labor
ing under the impression that what
has been done cannot be wiped out;
and that the contemporary chronicle
of events must stand. This is a mis-
take: an official history under the sane
ton OF the Legislature has all the ef-
feet of law. II may be quoted from as
may law report, and it is conclusive
evidence. With such history properly
written, NJ. s. Quay could claim the
right of beatiflcation, and John Edward
Addicks, too. would go into the calen.
