UnpIeasant for Coal Barons.

The fact that the presidents commission
has been unearthing many unpleasant
phases Of life in the, coal mining regions
and that these details are bound to be
made public at time when the country
is suffering for lack of coal, will make the
coal barons rather unpopular to say the
least. In New York city, even the
wealthy have suffered from the famine,
being unable to get fuel at any price.
What the poor have suffered goes without
saying. The price of golden grain belt
beer has not advanced, and as it is the
best fuel to create bodily warmth, it will
be of great value in keeping off colds and

EXCURSION INTO BIRD LAND

the birds without a gum for example,

ed in 1.-The Garden of Commuters

jerks Smith, bird study is all the
rage.
give stopped wearing feathers, any
way, till the excitement dies down.
And we's stopped driving birds out Of
the fruit trees and we've put up boxes
to draw them. They won't come into
them, though, because, the doctor says,
the rooms aren't separate and the open
ings draw a draft through. | call that
going a little too far. AS if birds that
fly all day in the air can't stand draft
at night!
''In the spring, when we return here,
I'm going to have bird class and pro-
fessor to take us out and point out the
birds.
Its awfully nice, my DEAR contin-
ued Mrs. Jenks-Smith; much easier
than giving garden party; no trouble,
no fuss, managed like a Cooks tour IN

all! Did you ever know anything so
appropriate?

One of the most disagreeable fea-
lures of protracted illness is the more
or less close confinement to which the
patient is subjected. If he is compelled
to keep his bed, his discomfort and i'm
patience are Of course greatly intensi-
fed Even in health a life spent in
bed would soon become intolerable to
the most arrant sluggard; and we can
well pardon one whose nerves have
been made irritable by long confine-
ment, for showing at times a dissatis-
faction with everything around him.
A little skill in the arrangements Of
the bed, however, will at least render
the patients condition endurable.
First of all, we must have a mat
tress which presents a firm, even sur
face; one stuffed with curled hair will
exactly meet our wants. Feather beds
are a constant nuisance to both patient
and nurse. The mattress should be
turned and shaken at frequent inter-
walls, in order that 1t may not become
compacted at any point.
The sheets and linen should be soft
and kept as spotless as possible. If the
sick person is very restless, it is better
to change them often, as the accumu-
lation of wrinkles is extremely irr1-
tating. 1t is better to be over-part1cu-
lar in this respect, since during a long
confinement the skin becomes exqui-
site1y sensitive, and predisposes the
patient to bed-sores.
The coverings of the bed should be
warm, but not SO weighty as to be I'M
comfortable The top spread should
either be of spotless white or Of some
fancy figure which may be changed at
intervals, and so give relief by pleasing
the eye.
1t is not necessary to urge the pro
priety of taking the whole bed to
pieces every morning, and thoroughly
exposing the mattress and each piece
of bedclothing separately to the action
Of fresh air.
There are many other things which
will suggest themselves, If only we are
sufficiently impressed with the import
ance of making as comfortable as pos
sible those who are condemned to
spend a greater part of their days in
he'd -HOuseWife.

makes It hurtfu1 to adult swimmers

makes 1t hurtful to adult swimmers
and dangerous to children.
Cars have been taken from the Mis-
sissippi which measured eight feet in
length and weighed nearly 200 POUNDS.
These sullen monsters are not afraid
of anything and are more apt to attack
a swimmer than are many kinds OF
sharks. Plenty of people living along
the big river bear scars on their arms
or thighs from gar teeth.
In the small lakes, however, they do
not often attain greater weight than
six or eight pounds and measure in
length from eighteen to thirty-six
inches. These are not big enough to
hurt human beings, but play smash
with the anglers bait.
The gar's jaws are as formidably
armed as those Of the muskallonge. 1t
has row upon row Of teeth, some as
sharply pointed as needles and others
having slicing, cutting edges to them.
These Jaws are nearly half as long as
the fsh's body and work like a pair
Of scissors, as certainly and more rap
idly.
The gar is the only one Of our fishes
able to cut a silk line Of any size, no
matter how small, and it does this with
a quietness and precision highly exas-
perating There are many waters, good
bass waters, which fishermen have
been compelled to desert, fishing them
with success being rendered impossi'
BILE by the CARS.
The gar has sense. It Is almost i'm
possible to hook it in the usual way
even when it takes the attached bait,
which does not happen often.
The interior Of the snout Is hard,
bony substance with a thin stretching
Of skin over it, and the hook will not
sink in sufficiently to hold. In gen.
era1, however, the gar, which Is ex-
ceedingly wise, will not seize the bait.
Instead it swims near, makes a sur
vey, carefully locates the line, swims
nearer, opens its jaws, makes a snip,
and then eats the minnow or frog at
leisure. All that the angler feels Is the
merest twitch Of the tackle.
He may think that it is bass gin
gerly taking hold, or he may recognize
the willy and fatal work Of the gar. In
any event, he has nothing to do save to
reel in swiftly, find hook, bait and
swivel gone, and bend on new ones.
A prejudice exists against the gar as
edible, yet it is not wholly bad. It is
a clearly fish in feeding, living on min
nows, frogs and such things, and not
touching decaying matter. In this re-
spect it Is better than the catfish, which
will eat anything it can swallow, taste
being something Of no value to 1t.
The flesh of the gar is in alternate
strips Of white and dark meat the
white lying along the sides and the
dark near the backbone.
