Sleeps While Flying.

One of the most marvellous Of crea.
tions is the bird which sleeps while
flying, declares the Kobe Chronicle,
The friSate bird is the most striking
example of ability in this direction,
1t is provided with large pouch be-
meath it's neck. which, when it wishes
to float in the air, it fills with air,
From this pouch the air is forced into
its hollow bones through the lungs,
When the air enters il is colder than
the birds body, but after inhalation
it gains rapidly in heat, and so ex.
pands. The heated air not only fills
the lungs, pouch and hollow bones,
but also permeates between the skin
and flesh of the bird. Altogether a
remark able bird!

FOOTBALL in ITALY.
Il IL Quite Different From the Englls
~> Game.

q Is Quite Different From the English
.-> Game.
The new game Of Calico QootbaD
is taking on in Milan, writes the Milan
correspondent Of the Paris Messenger.
some people compare 1t with the old
italian game of Calcio, but there is
great difference between the two. The
Italian game is played in an open
space divided in two equal parts, with
twenty-five players on the fenced
round spot. On each side there are
four groups Of players; the lnnanzi 10
front and all in a close line TO the boun
Diary. After these come the Sconcia'
tori, then the Datorlinnanzi, and then
the Datoriindietro, who closed the
lines. The players on each side wear
different colors. This year, when the
game was played in Florence, the
colors were red and blue.
The game itself consists OF neutral
throwing ball against q slab on one
Of the walls round the place where the
game is played. The lnnanzi imme
diately try to catch the ball when II
reaches their lines and throw it TO the
Sconciatori at their back, who, in their
time. throw 1t to the Datorlinnanzi who
must then try TO send it over the fence
Of the opposing party. But as there
is usually a battle to fight with the
opposing party, before this can be
done, the Datorinnanzi throw the ball
TO the Datorlndetro, who are in more
protected place and have greater
chance of success When the ball Is
thrown over the fence Of the opposing
party that finishes the game.
Sometimes a clever lnn0nzi may win
the game by himself by selling the ball
and reaching the enemy's fence by
lodging backward and forward among
the lines. But this is very difficult and
seldom successful.
In olden times the games often ended
in a real battle, in which one at least
of the players was killed.
The game Of Calcio is always played
in medieval costumes. Like tourna.
ment, it used always to be played on
the occasion of a princely marriage. 1t
had not been played, however, since
1899; but, in 1898, it was again played
in honor of the visit Of King Humbcrt
and Queen Margherita to Florence.
1t was again played this year in Flor.
ence, and the most noble families Of
the city took part in it.

nevertheless, even as such, it is taking

There is commotion at Sarum and
the sleepy old city is being reused
out of its somnolency by the aggres-
siveness of the Mormonistic propa-
ganda, says the London News. The
agents Of the Latter Day Saints
cult have stormed the citadel Of
Episcopacy and captured some of the
pillars of the Church and lights of
the Dissenting churches These dar.
ing raiders have laved their captives
in the classic waters Of the Avon at
midnight in the chilly months Of De-
cember and January. Strange scenes
have been enacted under the stars
and in semi-sccrecy. There is wall
ing in many homes, and fulminations
from pulpits Episcopal and Noncon-
formist. On Wednesday evening last
the rector of Fisherton sacrificed the
Mormon doctrines and pilloried the
emissaries. Two Of the Mormon eld-
ers and one of their converts were
present, but sat unmoved. On the
authority of the editor of the Sails.

there are at least two thousand elders
from Salt Lake City in this country

Misapplied Zeal of Agent for New Kind
of Polish.
Ono CT the points Of interest in the

United States sub-treasury on Wall
street says the New York Press. II
is invariably pointed out to visitors,
and almost Invariably the question is
asked.
why do they polish only the knees
and not the whole statue?"
Mentor and guide has to shake his
head, and admits that he does not
know.
1t appears that scme years ago a
peddlor with some new kind Of polish
came to the sub-treasury and extolled
the virtues OF his compound to one Of
the guards. Why he said, 81
could even polish up that rusty old
statue out there in a jiify.'
Go ahead" said the guard.
The agent went to work with a Will
and In a few minutes had succeeded
in taking oil the beautiful dull oxy-
dizinE from the legs of the statue as
far as the knees. Just then Mr.
Muhleman. the deputy assistant treas
urer, came up the steps and in less
time than it takes TO tell it the agent
found himself sitting at the foot OF the
steps, while Mr.. Muhleman lectured to
the surprised guard in forcible lam
guage on the vandalism of indiscri-
inmate polishing.
But not even the variability of the
New York climate has been sufficient
as yet to restore to the polished parts
their old dull beauty.

An Eagles Eye.

"The eye of the American eagle has
not come in for its share Of attention"
said a patriot who has an ardent love
for the national bird, "and it seems
to me that some man who is capable
of developing to the fullest the
grandeur and almost lmitless possible
tiles of this finished work of nature
should take the subject up. The eagle
has been conspicuous in literature and
in art generally. Poets have sung
their songs about the aerial wonder
They have allowed their imaginations
TO soar out into the upper air, and all
that sort of thing. have read some
where of a little sketch about the rare
delicacy and skill ma ture has displayed
in carving the eagles beak. The trib'
ute is amply deserved. The eagles
beak, his pinions, his claws, and in
fact everything about the eagle, appeal
to me.
But ! was speaking of the eagles
eye. Did you ever look into the eye of
an eagle? If so, have you not been
impressed with the unspeakable ear.
nestness the frankness and honesty 10
be found here? Have you thought OF
how much of the eagles nature you
could find in an eagles eyes-how
much of that wild, passionate love of
freedom? How much of that splendid
craving to soar forever above and be
yond the callous nothings of a too re-
stricted life nearer the ground Could
you not read somewhat Of the eagles
virtuous love of things almost human-
the love of mate, and the love of home?
There is a world in the eagles eyes,
world Of phlosophic rehection, and The
pity is that the colors cannot be pre-
served. At any rate It is an interest
ing subject, and one which might be
developed if some person would but
take the time in this rushing age tc

NHE day was when men of prominence
l. hesitated to give their testimonials
70 proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true to-day of most propre-

so justly famous, its merits are known to
so many people of high and low stations,
that no ono hesitates to see his name IN
print recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong Endorsement. Men
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.

licly that he has used Peruna in his family
and found it cured when other remedies
