A Punctunl Bird.

What tempts the little humming
bird that we see In our gardens to
travel every spring from near the
equator to as far north as the arctic
circle, leaving behind him, as he does,
for season, many tropical delights!
He is the only one of many humming
birds that pluckily leaves the land of
gayly colored birds to go into volun-
tary exile in the north, east of the Mis-.
sissippi. How it stirs the Imagination
to picture the solitary, tiny migrant, n
mere atom of bird life, moving above
the range of human sight through the
vast dome of the sky! Borne swiftly
onward by rapidly vibrating little
wings. he covers the thousands of
miles between his winter home and his
summer one by easy stages and ar.
rives at his chosen destination, wealth
er permitting, at approximately the
same date year after year.-Country

SEA FLOWERS AS PETS.
rLc Queer Little Creatures know.
as incY,Ones

The qucerest pets in the world are
kept in q beautiful row of clear, fash
Ing. round glass tanks on an upper
f1oor of large aquarium. AS you ap-
proaeh the tanks you behold glowing
little groups of color and artistic blend
Ing and mingling of fantastic weeds
and shining stones. Then when you
peer into the tanks you see what at
first seem to You just like particularly
handsome and gorgeous flowers grow
ing all over the little rockeries Some
of the flowers lock like dainty pink
and white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahlias. Others look almost
like daisies, with lacelike petals.
Others look like little star flowers, all
pure white and perfect. These flowers
are of all sizes. from tiny ones barely
large enough to see to great ones al
most large enough to fill saucer.
But if YOU will watch these "fow-
ers' for few minutes you will jump
suddenly. for all at once you will see
one move Its petals. Then you will
see another and another do it. Slowly
the petals unfold or contract. with
little jerking movements, sometimes
twining In the wnter like snakes.
Tap smartly on the table on which
the tanks stand. and like lightning all
the petals will have disappeared.
These sea flowers are really not flow-
ers ut all. They are living creatures,
known as sea anemones.

animated flowers actually have come

withdraw their petals and shut up
tightly when the stick approached,

their dainty arms out as far as they

Near Leeds is a summer house made

entirely by the ribbons of cigars, near

DON'T GET TOO FULL.
A Lesson That May He Learned From

A Lesson That May He Learned From
the Habits of the Bees.
Don't stir up beehive unless you
know 1t Is rich one" said an apiarist
to Il visitor at his bee farm.
II think that would leave them
alcne altogether" was the reply. "They
have too angry a buzz about them to
win my confidence"
You are not used to them, that's
all" said the beeman. For example,
these hives are full of honey, and If l
puff little smoke into the doors SO as
to sort of suffocate the sentrics can
topple a hive over, handle the bees
like SO many beans, clean the honey
combs and carry them off. The bees
won't harm me-" And, to prove his
words, the speaker performed his ex.
pertinent and came back to his friend
with Il smile and several heavy combs
of honey.
"If those hives had been nearly
empty" said the apiarist, II would
have been lucky to have escaped with
my life. The tenants of poor hive
sting to kill"
That's strange" said the visitor.
Il should think that they would de.
fcnd their loards with especial jeal.
ousy, and the more they have the hot
ter they would fight
"l'he reason is" said the becman,
that when alarmed the bees fly to
their storchouse and gorge themselves.
When full of honey, bee can't bend
its body and sting"
(Which should be a lesson to u.s."
said the other. "Don't get too full."-

After a time she smiled a smile of
intense satisfaction. and her face

WE ARE MARCHING ON,

But within the past decade we
have been making progress.
Truth is mighty and will pre-
