We know there are many people seek
ing properties of the character OF those de-
scribed below. They merit your investl'
cation There are special features IN con-
nection with each which make them pecul-
iarly desirable to certain people for GER
tain purposes. We might make some big
statements concerning these features
but that isn't our style. We are aiming to
be conservative People seem to know
this. We want the statements made IN
our advertisements to sink in. In our
opinion the only way to obtain that result
is to make conservative statements. We
do not want to daily throw load of brick
ior a ton of coal at the readers OF our adj
vertisements in order to impress them
with our statements. That would be Ia
borious. Our statements do not have to
be so reinforced. Recognizing these facts
will you, if interested, kindly aud quietly
confer with us concerning these properties
or any other class or kind that you may be
seeking. The result will be to your adj
vantage whether you buy of us or not If

STATISTICS OF NIGHT HER oNs
They Are Sought by the Smithsonian
Institution.


Eight hundred night herons are wan.
dering free about the United States,
each wearing ON ore leg an aluminium
band inscribed Smithsonian 1nstitu-
ton" and a number. If any person
shoots one OF these birds he should
write to Paul Bartsch, biologist Of the
Smithsonian. telling where it was and
how large was the bird. The night
heron is one Of the most beautiful
of the aquatic birds of America, but
scientists know less about it than they
are satisfied with. Last year Mr.
Bartsch discovered several breeding
places of these birds on the Potomac
in the District Of Columbia. Recently
he visited the place with several as
sistants in the night and the 800
aluminium bands were fastened to the
legs of as many young herons. Science
is anxious to know how long the night
heron lives, where it spends the Win
tiers and how much of the country it
covers in its wanderings. 1t is be-
lieved that by the time few of the
numbered aluminium bands have been
reported some of these facts will have
been established to the satisfaction of
the ornithologists. - Cleveland (O)

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several Important Points That Must
Be Remembered.

Be Remembered.
To teach a child with success re-
CURES only common sense, good judy
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
Of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is. to blame. Second, there is the
indexible rule that requires a teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present it
in an interesting and ineligible way
Third, there is the ever present dan
ger of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fire.
quently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped so long as to-
morrow represents another day.-The

"but l find that it costs me about SIS
a year. My trade is with nice people,
and when fashionable women come
into the shop have to tip my hat to
them. A butchers fingers are always
more or less greasy from handling the
meat, and in about month new hat
Is no longer fit to wear. Grease is

VITALITY OF BURNS FAME.

It Is One Of the Great Facts Of Our
Literature.
"The inquest" on Robert Burns was
concluded long ago, but from time to
time the findings are reviewed by crit
ical writer's. as in a recent symposium,
says Golfers. A curious result thus
chances. From every such inquisition
the poet energies the more radiant and
triumphal-the critics are lost in the
splendor they have evoked. 1t is one
thing to make literature; it is another
and quite different thing to write about
literature and the makers thereof. This
is truism, and yet the distinction is
often confused, especially by the writ
ers Of criticism. Burns has survived
several generations of critics, many
of whom made vain bid for remem-
brance by their praise or dispraise Of
him. The vitality of his fame is one
of the great facts of our literature.

Brainy Tramp.
When Wilkinson went to his Office
one day last week he felt calm and
contented. He hadn't any need to
worry about his wife's loneliness any
more, for he had bought capital
watchdog for her.
But alas! when he arrived home
his wife met him with the deplorable
news that the dog had gone.
"Eh!" said Wilkinson. did he break
the chain, then?"
No, she replied; "but a great,
ugly-looking tramp came here and
acted so impudently that let the dog
loose. But instead of tearing the tramp
to pieces the nasty dog went off with
him."

FlLARlA is A NEW DISEASE.
Responsible for the Death Of Many
American Soldiers

American Soldiers.
Capt. Charles Kieeffer, a United
States army surgeon, says the Phil.
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome and dangerous from
medical point of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange malady known as flaria is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
CHARTERED on the islands. Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.
The first indication Of flaria ap-
pears in the form of a worm in the
victims %thorax. This develops into
elephantiasis, which causes the pa
tient terrible pains, accompanied by
a constant cough. The sufferer is
worst at night, and the patient be-
comes a prey to insomnia.
The only remedy lies in an opera
ton, which in itself is dangerous and
rarely successful. If the worm, which
is female, is injured and dies
through the operation, its poison gets
into the blood, the disease is increased
thousandfold and the chances of re-
covery are small.

What One Man Said.

At the City Federation meeting In
the Waldorf there were many amusing
incidents. Husbands Of the broad
minded women tarried in the ante
room waiting for their spouses to go
home. One of these patient escorts
was Leroy Sunderland Smith. He
gazed through the glass doors once,
sighed and returned to his chair. Men
would come, inquire for their wives,
and then retreat to the cafe below. One
man heard few minutes Of a certain
paper. He said: IF these women's
clubs did not struggle with the prob
lem OF how to raise other woqen's
children they would have no excuse
for being" He flung out the last
words savagely and then disappeared
to the place where highballs are con-
cocted.-New York Press.

TO GET RID OF RATS.
Writer Recommends Dipping the Yer.
min in Varnish.


All tradesmen being liable to the
incursions and depredations OF rats,
it may not be out of place to mention
a method of getting rid of these pests
which is recommended by cores
pondent of the Birmingham Daily
Post. This consists in thinning down
with petroleum ordinary sow-drying
tar varnish such as bedstead makers
and japanners use and pouring the
mixture into the runs of the rats.
The vermin are said to loathe the
smell of the stuff, and will do any
thing to get clear Of it. A still more
effective plan is said to be to catch
rat alive, dip 1t up to the neck in the
varnish and turn it loose. Its fel'
lows will fee from it as from the
dell. The dipping process is said to
be harmless to the rat. But some
ironmongers may not care to dip
live rat up to it's neck"

The Modern Race After Wealth.

The mania for money-making has
developed into downright madness.
And the explanation is easy. People
see that it is fast becoming the chief,
if not the only, standard Of respecta-
bility. When Talleyrand was asked if
he was not ashamed to sell his influ-
ence in making treaties under the
first empire he replied: My friend,
do you not see that there are but two
things left in France-money and the
guillotine?" We are rapidly ap-
preaching the period in our own his
tory when there will be but two things
left in Ameri ca-money and contume-

THE OUTLOOK FOR AUTHORS
Really Good Writers Need Not Fear
Discrlmln alton


The rush of the crowd to read q
book which may have no literary merit
or vitality, either of material or Of
presentation, simply because It is
talked about, is never wholesome, and
IL the crowd has grown more critical
and clear-minded in its judgments,
and has ceased to move upon sudden
impulses and learned to decide for
itself, the loss will fall, not on writer's
of real merit, but on few whose re-
wards were generally beyond their
deserts. The average Of literary work
In this country in many departments
Is high. If great books are not pro-
duced in large numbers, good books
are produced in very considerable
numbers, and in soundness of knowl-
edge, in good taste and literary work
manship, a great advance is evident
over the work of an earlier generation.
1t is period Of quiet progress, time
Of preparation rather than time Of
accomplishment.

is nearly twice as much as the Kohl
