A Four Footed Bird.

There is a four footed bird, the Ops
thocomus crstatus, which has such
anomalies of structure that it is i'm
possible to class it along with any 9th
er family. 1t is one Of those survivors
which tell us of extinct groups Of
whose past existence we would other
wise have remained forever ignorant.
These, the only species of four footed
birds, inhabit the island of Marajo in
the lower Amazon. 1t is only during
infancy that this remarkable feature
of these birds is seen, the two fore feet
appearing early in the development of
the embryo and continuing perfectly
formed for several days after hatch
ing, when they are gradually shed. 1t is
also known as the hoactzin or evil
smelling bird, the flesh having an I'M
pleasant odor, making it unpalatable
to both man and carnivorous animals,
which is probably one cause of it's sur
vival.

The Lost Forty.

There is a tract of land in Tazewell
county, ILL.,, lying along the Mackinaw
river, which consists Of a continuous
series of abrupt and deep ravines. Not
a foot of the tract could be cultivated.
The ridges are full of fox dens, wolves
are occasionally found, and turkey buz-
yards hover over it in large fiocks
Even people familiar with the territory
have been lost in the dense forest. EX-
cept for few giant oaks the wood
has no commercial value.
The tract is known as the "Lost
Forty" because no one knows who
owns it. For years it has been used
for trading purposes, and many I'M
wary persons from distance have adj
vanced money upon it and taken mort
cages in various sums, only to receive
a questionable title to worthless
piece of land. On the Tazewell county
taxbooks the Forty" appears with
'owner unknown" The land is water.

Life Aboard an Arctic Boat.

The days and weeks pass without our
taking any account of them. We get
up at 6:3O in the morning. At we
feed the dogs. At we have breakfast,
and at IL we dine. Then we work till
$50, when we have supper, after
which we smoke and play cards or
chess till bedtime. It is not at all cold.
Rarely does the thermometer descend
below zero. Yesterday the sun shone
gloriously. The Ice reflected it with a
binding glare and in brilliant colors.
The ship has withstood all the as
saults of the ice. 1t is splendid to see
how 1t breaks up ice that is sometimes
three or four feet thick. At other
times, when 1t is even thicker the ship
is rushed against it at full steam. The
shock splits and breaks it very often
for distance of 40 or so yards. The
Duke of AbruZzi is always on the
bridge and loses no opportunity of get
ting ahead. Sometimes he does not
even come down to his meals. When
ever we get the smallest opening, he
orders us to go on, and we are glad of
1t, because the more we advance at the
present time the less we shall have to
do next year.-Leslie's Monthly.

Bees, Venom For Rheumatism.

Dr.. Terc, a medical man of much re-
pute in Vienna, advocates as an effec-
tive remedy for rheumatism the satu-
rating of the patients body with the
venom of bees. For the purpose he eX-.
tracts the venom, treasuring it up in
quantity and applying it artiticially in
the way of punctures. He Pounds this
treatment on his discovery that rheu-
matte patients do not suffer from a
bees sting to anything like the same
degree as other people. He found that
the tumefaction or swelling that fol-
lows the singing Of bee does not ap-
pear in the rheumatic patient unless
he has been stung several times, while
in some cases the singing is hardly
felt When the patient suffers himself
to be stung repeatedly, his immunity
against the poison of the bee becomes
complete, and he feels no pain whatso-
ever. What is more, he gets cured Of
his rheumatism.-Londo GLOBE.

One day, when the perspiration flow

due to calmness of soul, but rather the

was tempted to indulge in strong Ian

An Attack Of Pneumonia Warded

To BE Cheerful.

The sovereign, voluntary path to
cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheer
fulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully
to look around cheerfully and to act
and speak as if chGerfulness were al
ready there. If such conduct doesn't
make you soon feel cheerful, nothing
else will on that occasion. So, to feel
brave, act as if we were brave, use all
our will to that end, and a courage fit
will very likely replace the fit of fear.
Again, in order to feel kindly toward a
person to whom we have been inimical.
the only way is more or less deliberate
ly to smile. to make sympathetic in
quiries and to force ourselves to say
genial things. One hearty laugh to-
gether will bring enemies into closer
communion Of heart than hours spent
on both sides in inward wrestling with
the mental demon of uncharitable feel
ing.

People who Used to Eat spiders.

People Who Used to Eat Spiders.
The enjoyment of particular kinds of
food is, after all, a matter of custom,
and the African who revels in white
ants is no more peculiar in his tastes
than the European who eats cheese
mites. A lady whom NJ. Reaumur knew
was accustomed to devour spiders as
fast as she could catch them, and a
German lady gave it as her opinion
that these creatures resembled in taste
the most delicious nuts. A fellow coun-
tryman of this lady was in the habit of
regularly hunting spiders in his own
and his friends houses. He used to
spread them on bread, Rozel tells us,
and vowed that they We're far pleas
anter to the palate than butter.-Corn-

WHY We Wink.

No satisfactory determination has
been made of the reason we wink.
Some suppose that the descent and re-
turn of the lid over the eye serve to
sweep or wash it off; others that cover
ing of the eye gives it rest from the
labor of vision, if only for an map
preciable instant. This view borrows
some force from the fact that the rec
ord of winking is considerably used by
experimental Psychologists to help
measure the fatigue which the eye suf-
fers.-Popular Science.

LIVES GROWING LONGER.

Increase OF Al Years in the Last Decaed
--PneumOnia the Chief Danger.
People are growing healthier and
lives are becoming longer in this coun-
try, if medical statistics can be relied
on. According to figures published in
the last week life has been heightened
by an average Of Al years in the last
decade.
In 1890 the average length OF life in
the United States was 31.1 years. In
1900 this mean average had risen to
35.2 years. chiefly by reason Of the de-
crease in mortality among the very
young.
The three diseases which nave caused
the most deaths in recent years are
pneumonia. consumption and heart dis
ease. in the order named Deaths
from the first cause have increased
slightly and medical science has made
comparatively little progress in finding
a specific treatment for it,
Pneumonia is an infectious disease
like tuberculosis Although it is not
so contagious as are many other dis
eases, the sanitation Of houses. schools,
shops, factories, places Of business and
amusement, in medical opinion. un-
dOubtedly determines to a great ex
tent the vulnerability of the system

Neglect OF the ordinary laws of
health is responsible for many cases
Of pneumonia. Among personal meas
ures suggested for its prevention are
avoidance OF undue exposure to in

ill-ventiIated gatherings; temperance
in eating and drinking, daily bathing
and regular exercise in the open air
