been story Of his own recollections.
Thomas Dunn English wrote Ben
Bolt in 1913, and some fifty years later
George Du Maurier made the tender
song famous the world over.
1t has been mentioned as proof Of
Alexander Pope's love of economy that
he wrote most of his verses on scraps
of paper and particularly on the backs
of letters.
Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre was
rejected by nearly every publisher in
England before it scored one Of the
greatest literary successes in the

The ChcEgcable Pink Hind :cd the
Rainbow IIUe1 Parrot Fish.
The clear, l;mpid waters that sur
round Bermuda and the West Indies
lie above coral reefs covered with
plants and animals, many of which are
brilliant in color IS L rainbow. They
look like glimpses Of fairyland. and IS
your eye wanders from one wonder 10
another you catch yourself striving to
peek just around some corner into a
strange nook, half hoping to see 4
bevy of mer,nen and mCrTaiGS sport
ing and playing within the H:ranncs.
Here is patch Of pale green sea let
tuce, there group of great purple
sea fans, yonder some golden cora!s
standing out like shelf or branching
like a tree, while among them all
swim lovely fishes that take the place
of the fairies that should dwell in this
magic land and fascinatc YOU By their
gorgeous colors and their graceful,
wavy motions.
There is a great green parrot fish,
as brilliant in color as his nameSake
the bird, showing himself boldly and
swimming along slowly, secure from
any assault. His scales arc green as
the fresh grass Of springtime, and each
one is bordered by pale blown line.
His fins are pink, and the end Of the
tail is banded with nearly every color
Of the rainbow. He is showy, but this
showiness serves him good purpose.
His flesh is bitter and poisonous to
man and probably so to other fishes as
well. and they let him well alone, for
they can recognize him afar off, thanks
to his gaudy dress.
Underneath the parrot. lying on the
bottom. is pink hind" You notice
him, and as the parrot passes over him
he suddenly changes to bright scarlet
and as quickly resumes his former
faint color. Had the parrot been look
ing for his dinner and thought the hind
would make a good first course this
sudden change Of color might have
scared him off, just as the sudden bris-
Ting Of Il cat makes 4 dog change his
mind. When the hind is disturbed at
night, he gives out flashes of light to
startle the intruder and send him away
in fright.-Professo c. L. Bristol in

Spring Fever.

Spring fever is another name for
biliousness. It is more serious than
most people think. A torpid liver
and inactive bowels means poison

DeWitt's Little Early Risers remove
all danger by stimulating the liver,

the system of impurities. Safe pills.

T. SLurdevant of Merry Oaks, n. G.
"After I had tried many doctors and
medicines, to no avail one of my
friend spersuaded me to try Kodol.
It gave me immediate relief, I can eat
almost anything I want now and my
digestion is good. I cheerfully re-
commend Kodol." Don't try to cure
stomach trouble by dieting. That
only further weakens the system.

Hid Her Love.

Charles Dickens, though he married
Catherine, one Of George Hogarth's
three daughters, in 1886, was later de-
votedly attached to her sister Mary.
Why he did not marry Mary in the
first place is not certainly known un-
less it be that Mary, young woman
of great loveliness Of character, had
successfully concealed her own affec-
tion for GATHERINGS betrothed in order
to save her sister from disappointment.
Percy Fitzgerald, friend Of Dickens
expressed this idea in an article in
Harper's Magazine entitled Dickens
In His Books"

OSTRICH TACTICS.
Big Bird That Displayed as N1eh
Cunning as an Apache Indian.


Cunning as al Apache Indian.
A we'll known hunter and taxidermist
tells this story Of personal experience
in South Africa; it goes far beyond dis
pelling slaDder that has long clouded
the fair name of the ostrich:
Arriving at one of the monster hills
of the white ant, climbed upon it and
raised my observation glasses to my
eyes for careful survey Of the region.
My first glance showed me, arising
from the dead level Of the plain be-
yond, two Objects each having the
form of q capital S. These | knew
were the heads and necks Of two os-
triches. Though l believed they had
sighted me, 1 remained immovable un-
til their necks We're suddenly drawn
down to the level Of the tops of the
bushes which screened their bodies.
Then knew for certainty that they
were aware Of my presence and would
make quick retreat.
without losing an inStants time l
ran to the spot where the birds had
been standing and found their tracks.
These l followed as far as they were
distinguishable End then took course
which I believed the birds would nat
urally follow. No sooner had l reached
the top of the ravine than saw one Of
the ostriches climbing the side hill. Es-
tinating the distance, 1 took sight and
fred The ball passed Immediately be-
tween his legs and struck in the sand
of the side hill behind him.
I'm an instant the bird darted away
like an arrow in the direction Of
small cump Of bushes in the center Of
an open space. That he would pause
behind this bush and then finally
emerge Oh the other side seemed GER
tain, and aimed to catch him as he
made a fresh start from behind the
thorn. He flew over the sand. at a ter
rife rate and reached the bushes. Then
l waited fully five minutes for him to
emerge from his hiding, with my rifle
ready sighted so that I could pull the
trigger the second he reappeared. but
finally went forward to rout him out.
When I reached the clump Of bushes,
an examination of the sand showed
that the crafty old bird had shifted his
course at a right angle, making the
turn so suddenly that his feet had
plowed up the sand for distance Of
several inches This wary tact had
placed the bushes between the bird
and myself, and be had made his way
to new cover while I was innocently
waiting for him on the other side Of
the ambush. An Apache Indian could
not have executed this maneuver more
cleverly, and l smiled at myself for
having ever been foolish enough to be-
ieve the traditional story Of how the
silly ostrich buries his head in the
sand and believes that he is thereby
concealed" d."-Philadelph Post.

Among all people the sucl:ing of the
wound has ever been considered the
most effective remedy Of immediate ap-
plication for snake bites. In Africa a
cupping instrument is employed in
emergenc IS Of the kind to draw out
the poisoned blood. The ancients fol-
lowed the same methods, and when Ca
to made his famous expedition through
the serpent infested African deserts he
employed many savage snake charm
ers, called psylli. to follow the army.
They performed many mysterious rites
over men who were. bitten. but the eff
cacy Of their treatment appears to hays
consisted in sucking the wounds.

How He Proposed.

He wished to propose to the girl of
his choice, but he was nervous. First
he thought Of the old romantic style:
"By my halidom, fair one. would
fain take thee for my bride. Say thou
wilt be mine. and ere the sun gilds the
turrets of yonder castle the friar shall
unite us in holy bonds.'
In the face of the prevalent rage for
dramas Of the olden style. this form
seemed satisfactory. Being an eminent
ly modern young man, however, he
thought again and determined to test
the thea trical mode.
But just at that moment the fair
Mary tripped into the room, and he
blurted out:
"Er-Mary-er-will you-er-welr'-
But Mary was far from being con-
trary. "Oh, that's all right, George"
said she, 81 know what you mean.

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
liable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and we'll set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives it free mo-
ton and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, little
prominent, and the eyelids fine and
thin. The ear should be small and
erect and quick in motion. The lop
ear indicates dullness and stubborn
ness. When too far back, there is
disposition to mischief.

The city itself has narrow, dirty

Russia's Many HOLIDAYS.

In addition to the fifty-two Sundays
Russia has about thirty-nine holidays
or feast days of the church. They are
kept as risidly almost as a London
Sunday. Business ceases except in
hooks and corners, while drunkenness,
the bane of the Russian, cripples work
for twenty-four or forty-eight hours
after each feast. In round numbers
there are thirty days on which the
western world works while the Rus
sian stands idle.-Scribner's Magazine.
