CHARM OF GERMAN "CURES."

Germany Is a strong and well-regu-

q nation frequent 1t so much. The pro-
prietor Of our hotel attributes it to the
fact that re English drink too much
champagne at home; zey come to Ger
many to get we'll" Which is about the
truth OF the matter. writes "A Countess
in London Outlook. Champagne for
dinner and aupper every night for three
months is apt to play havoc with the con-
stitutton of the strongest, and since most
women find 1t Impossible to keep up the
pace" without It. they have to pay the
penalty Don or later. Whether 1t be
any other OF the ills to which flesh is
heir, Germany at this time of the year
Is full OF English and Americans doing
water cures. What with the quantity !

The great charm of this sleepy German
watering place is It's very dullness. Once
a year at least the heart Of even the most
hardened society woman pines for
period OF rest. when she can cease from
waving her hair ard let what mind che
possesses become a blank. When ths
only excitement Is a new arrival at ths
hotel. or the fact that It is another wei
day. life grows extraordinarily simple
and ones brain reposefully vacant. Tt
eat and drink. sleep snd walk. take baths
and go to church OF Sunday is tie whole

Every day or two the fact ia brought
to the notice of hunters that a deer car

q person who has never been deer hunt

a fact that the average human being has
better vision and e greater range than
has the red deer Of the north woods

This is easily proved. A person may
stand in full view Of a deer, and the ami

says that almost every deer he has killed
could have saved itself II It's sight had
been as good as his, and other hunters
say the same thing. With the wind
blowing away from the deer. one. OF
even a drove. will sometimes stand In full
vision for half an hour. until their keen
sense of smell or hearing gives the alarm
and they scramble away through the
brush.

INTELLIGENCE OF BIRDS.
Pigeons That Learned How to Avoid
Having Their Heads
Snapped on. +,

The central prison at Agra Is the
roosting place Of great numbers of the
ommon blue pigeon. They fly out to
the n~eighboring country for food every
morning, and return In the evening,
when they drink at a tank just outside
the prison walls. In this tank are q large
number of fresh water turtles, which lie
in walt for the pigeons. just under the
surface of the water and at the edge Of
it. Amy bird alighting to drink near
of these turtles has a good chance of
having It's head bitten off and eaten; and
the headless bodies OF pigeons have been
picked up near the water, showing the
fate which has sometimes befallen the
birds. The pigeons, however, are aware
Of the danger, and have hit on the fol-
lowing plan to escape It: A pigeon comes
in from Its long flight, and, as it nears
the tank, instead Of flying down at once
to the waters edge, will cross the
tank at about 20 feet above its surface,
and then fly back to the side from which
it came. apparently selecting for alight-
ing a safe spot which 1t had remarked as
1t flew over the tank; but even when such
q spot has been selected the bird will not
alight on the edge of the water, but on the
bank about a yard from the water, and
will then run down quickly to the water,
take two or three hurried gulps of 1t, and
then fly Off to repeat the same process at
another part of the tank till its thirst is
satisfied. l had often watched the birds
doing this, says a writer, anH,could not
account for their strange mode of drink
ing till told by my friend, the superin-
tendent of the prison, Of the turtles which
lay In ambush for the pigeons.
