BIRDS WITH ODD WAYS.
Burrowing Owls. ostrIches and Mound
IuilderS.

Burrowing Owls. OstrIcLes and Mound
Builders.
Of course all birds live in more o.
less close relation to the earth, bu
some are peculiarly associated will
it, OF depend upon 1t more especial!
for certain requirements. Net the leas;
interesting of these are the burrowlns
owls. These, unlike their tree or tower
haunting relatives, make their home
underground, digging their tunnels TO
gether, and laying their eggs at the
farther end. Here in the darkness the
little owlets are Matched, and here they
are fed on fat grasshoppers and mice
until they are able to climb up and look
upon the world for themselves. 1t Is
curious that these owls, which of all
their family would seem to have the
best practice in their youth for learn
ing to use their eyes in the dark, are
not nocturnal, but dig their burrows,
catch their food and do their courtine
in broad Daylight.
Ostriches mag be mentioned as types
of birds which have found it so good
for them to spend their life in running
that they are without the power OF
fight, and are never able to rise above
the ground-"winged creatures OF the
earth, not the "air."
The bird which is pre-cmlnentlv O.
the earth earthly lives in the far anti
podes-Australia and the Philippine
Islands. It is the megapode, or mound
builder, and has the curious habit OF
burying its eggs in the ground or III
mound of leaves and dirt. leaving
them-reptile-l e-like-to hatch from INT
heat generated in the pile Of decayln2
vegetation. 1t is thought that the par
cnts never see their offspring, Wh;ci
are fully fcathercd when they leave
the egg and able to dig out and fly al
once. This unusual development al
birth is made possible by the great
amount of nourishing yolll in the eggs
which are very large in proportion tt
the size of the bird. Think of a mem
Der of this class Of birds, made tc
spend its life partly in the air, Matching
in q tightly packed, damp mound
earth six feet below the surface! We
cannot censure the parents for shirk
ing the responsibilities Of incubation
when we think Of the enormou:
amount of work necessary to collec
such masses Of rubbish, which measure
sometimes so feet in circumference an'
fourteen feet in height. OF course, tn:
Is not collected in one year, but 1t IS
great undertaking for birds no large
than our common grouse. Thus We
see man cannot take the credit OF nav
ing first used an artificial incubator tt
hatch the eggs of birds.-C. William
Beebe, Curator Of OrnitholoSv New
York Geological Society.

Chinese Careful Buyers.

Of one thing the American manufac
turer should in particular beware
namely. of the delusion that it is posi-
BILE to pass off spurious article OF
the Chinese as the real thing. The
Chinese are very careful in samplln!
the goods they buy, and they take
nothing for granted on receiving th'
goods, but are exceedingly patient II
examining them to find out if they art
according to contract. There has beer
a tendency on the part of American
exporters to the empire to ignore tha;
fact. The first thing an occidental
merchant needs to get into his heat
in dealing with the Chinese merchant:
is that he is dealing with a class o.:
people fully his equal in business as
t,.teness. The Chinaman knows wha;
he wants, and he is no more disposed
to take what he does not want thai
anyone else.-Wool and Cotton Re

Humors of Congress.

The March Century publishes the
first of two articles on "Humors Of
Congress-" by Francis E. Leupp, who
has gathered material during several
years experience as the Washington
correspondent CT a New York daily.
MIR. Leupp claims that Congress 10
rarely witty, but of its "humor there is
no end" One Of the many capital sto-
ries he tells is of Speaker Reed:
How much do you weigh9" a fel-
low member once asked Reed.

"Pshaw!" exclaimed his friend. "You
weigh more than that"

Smoking Cures Catarrh.
A Combination Of Herbs, Smoked in a
Pipe, Cures Catarrh Of Head,
Nose and Throat.
SAMPLES MAILED FREE.
Contains No Tobacco and is Pleasant

Contains No Tobacco and is Pleasant
and Easy to Use.
The fact that the smoking of tobac-
co is Injurious to the health is no ar
gument against the use OF DR.. Blosser's
Catarrh Cure in a pipe, or in the form
of cigarettes, as this remeuy contains
no tobacco or any injurious drug.
The effect Of a remedy applied direct
ly to the diseased part is much bet
ter than the uncertain action of medi-
cines taken into the stomach. This
is the philosophy, profound as 1t is
simple, of the treatment of catarrh
with DR.. Blosser's Catarrh Cure.
1t is the only known remedy that
can penetrate the recesses of the head,
throat and lungs. No liquid remedy
can do this. No spray that ever was
devised-surely no constitutional
nostrum taken into the stomach-can
reach the inhamed surfaces and
cleanse, soothe and heal them as this
medicated smoke-vapor does.
In order to demonstrate its merits,
a three days trial treatment will be
sent, absolutely free, to any sufferer.
