1t will become tangled and look I'M
tidy, but more serious things happen
to bird who does not comb his feath-
ers.
These feathers are not packed close
together, you know. but lie loose and
have places between filed with air.
When bird wants to get warmer
he lifts his feathers so that these air
spaces may be larger, but if his feath'
ers are tangled or wet and dirty he
could not raise them and soon he
could not keep the heat in his little
body anu would die of course
Perhaps you have noticed sparrows
or other birds in the winter time. They
always look larger, but they have only
huffed out their feathers because the
weather is cold.
Mr.. Canary does the same thing
when he goes t0rs-ur night A water
bird has to be even more particular
about his clothes, for il he should get
them wet he would die of cold.
1t seems odd, does it not, that he
can go in the water and not get wet?
1t is a fact, though, and it is only
because he oils his feathers. All
water birds have an oil can, or an oil
gland, as it is called, located down
among his tail feathers, and after he
mas smoothed himself carefully he
reaches his head down to the oil
gland and gets nip of oil in his bill
and with it he oils his feathers with
the greatest care.
If he does it properly the water will
run OH and not soak in the least bit
Just watch a duck when you get a
chance and see how he does it.

Do You KNOW

That If you stroke black cat in the
dark, sparks will fly out of its fur?
That the sea is blue in the deepest
part, because of the reflection of the
light which is blue, but it is greenish
yellow in the shallow parts because
of the sand and seaweed which show
through the water?
That horses have no eyebrows and
fish have no eyelids?
That snakes can go for months and
months without food, and that huge
snake which recently died in the Zoo
in Paris had not eaten anything for
nearly two years and a half?
That camels are said to be the only
animals that canlOt swim?

to get back from Lisbon to Madrid.
especially IL your ticket obliges you
to go by way of Badajoz, where you
arrive at Z o'clock in the morning
and have to wait until the middle of
the afternoon. There is nothing to
see here, but the town is historically
interesting, having sustained several
sieges and passed into the possession
of one country after another, until
it was finally taken by the French
and given back to the Spaniards by
the Duke of Wellington in 1912, while
Napoleon was away in Russia. UP
to this time we had had delightful
summer weather, but it began to be
cold in Madrid, and at the Escurial
we were plunged into winter again.
The Escurial is the only "scrougey"
place in Spain, but here they lay a
trap for you into which you can
hardly help falling. The two hotels
send omnibuses to the station, each
provided with a guide, whom you can
scarcely avoid employing. although he
is quite superfous, for tickets to all
parts of the Escurial are distributed
gratis and each division is presided
over by it's own custodian. Then, hav-
ing you at their mercy, they can ask
you what price they please for meals,
and altogether the visit to the Escu-
rial is attended with some veXation
of spirit The palace itself is, as it had
remained in our recollection, dull and
gloomy, and even the Pantheon of
the Kings" where all the rules of
| Spain are buried in black sarcophagi,
one above another, was not particu-
larly impressive. The Pantheon of
the infantas, however, is interesting
and rather beautiful II is a series of
white halls filed with snowy sar-
cophagi, numbers of them occupied.
but many awaiting their future ten.
ants One wonders whether sover-
eigns enough will ever sit on the
throne of Spain to furnish infantas
for all these marble collins. Don John
of Austria lies alone, as If in state,
and admirably chosen notices and
verses from the Scriptures, engraved
upon the sarcophagi, lend an added
dignity to these resting places of the
soma and daughters of kings.

is A CITY OF HILLS
apital Of PORTUGAL

s u n n y

Lisbon is a city all up and down
hill. The seven hills of Rome are
nothing to it; it seems to be built on
about fifty, and to facilitate matters
there are numbers of small cog-wheel
cars continually ascending and de-
ascending from one level to another
apparently always full. There is also
q vast system of open electric street
cars for the level places, called car
ros Americanos, built in Philadelphia.
The chief open space is the Praco
do Commerce., large and handsome
square, which is surrounded by pub
lie buildings. The harbor is one of the
finest in the world, and the quays ex-
tend between two and three miles
along the bank of the river. The town
itself is a place of remote antiquity.
Its earliest name was Olisipo, by
which it was known when it was the
capital of the Lusitanians. 1t has
been neld since then, in turn, by the
Romans, the Goths, and the Moors,
but in 1147 Alphonso |. of Portugal
wrested it from the infldel. The city
suffered from a severe earthquake
in 1874, and was visited by a plague
in 134S; the greatest disaster, how
ever befell it Nov. 1, 1855, when in
less than ten minutes the greater
part of the city was made heap of
ruins, from 10000 to 10000 persons
were killed, and damage was done to
the amount of nearly twenty millions
sterling by one of the greatest earth
quake commissions on record.
There are several other rather
queer things in Portugal, but the beds
are the queerest. A wooden floor
sometimes seems to yield, the human
form adapts itself, fits in as it were,
more or less to the inequalities of a
rock surface; but these beds are adj
amantine and when you wake up you
feel as if you mad passed the night
on a gridiron. The meals also are

Jim.


Five years old-a frail little lad
Who can't quite fathom the worlds Dig
noise.
Thoughtful eyes that seek those Of his
dad
For half of his tiny Joys;
Oh, the piping voice and the busy gait
And the inhnitesima hand of him,
And a trust in me mistaken and great
And love profound-thats jim
When he cllngs to my finger and forth
we go
He talks to me frankly and comrade-
wise,
with a lore more perfect than aught I
know,
And wondrous light in his eyes;
Or when he fares forth to his bed at
night,
And family calls from his chamber dim,
The world seems filled with a sweet de-
And / think, THANK God for jim"
There are cares to face and battles to
fight
And serious looks ahead to take;
And sometimes | lie far into the night,
Troubled and wide awake.
But mostly I'm eager of mind and feet,
Cheerful of heart and steady of limb;
And | scorn the freedom ! once deemed
sweet
Freedom? Why, I've got Jim.

you will see the microbe slowly sink.
When he reaches the bottom loosen
the cork a little. The microbe will
rise again, and by pressing me cork
and loosening it you may make him
go up and down as often as you
please, or stay at the bottom or at
the top. The bottle being quite full,
pressing the cork down forces little
water into the quill through the pin
hole at the bottom. Being now partly
filled with water, 1t is heavier than
when it contained nothing but air, and
so it sinks. When you loosen the cork
the pressure is relieved and the air
compressed in the top of the quill ex-
pands and forces the water out So
the quill. being as light as at first,
floats up with it's burden. The spec
tators, If at little distance, will not
notice the transparent quill or the
thread, especially If the bottle is g
colored one, though they will see the
bright tinfoil plainly. Nor need YOU

The Obedient MIcrobe.

Of course, you know all about mi
crobes, or think you do, and are tired
of hearing about them. You know, at
least, that they are very small organ
isms, or tiny things, that are found
in great number and variety in pretty
much everything we eat and drink
and the air we breathe, and are for
ever giving us all kinds of diseases.
OF all the countless microbes known
to science. don't believe there is one
that looks in the least like the mon
ster here depicted, and l am quite
sure that none of them is as big as
the hundredth part of this one.
He is made of tinfoil and is so big
because we couldn't have any fun
with him if he were too small to see
and handle. He hangs by a very fine
thread from a piece of goose-quill
about two inches long. The ends of
the quill are closed with wax and a

The sInnaI Master Game.


Clear the middle of the room and
place in a row number OF chairs,
three less than the number of play
ers.
Blindfold one of the players and
select another for signal master. The
blindfolded one stands apart from the
chairs, holding a wand. The signal
master takes his place at one end of
the row of chairs and the other play
ers arrange themselves in a chain
behind him, holding each others coats
or dresses.
Then the chain of players walk
slowly around the chairs, the blind
folded one waxing his or her wand,
and singing:
The signal master will give a call;
Take your chairs then, one and all"
After the players have thus marched
grayely around the chairs two or
three times, the blindfolded one sud
denly gives a tap with the wand and
the signal master Immediately calls
out "Chairs!"
All now run toward the chairs, each
trying to secure one, but three are
left out, Of course, two of whom will
be required in the next game for sig
nal master and blindfold, the third
being the first blindfolded, who counts
as out.
Continue the game in this way, re
moving chair for each repetition, un
til all the players are out.

How the Birds Dress.

AS bird fashions do not change, the
lady birds of to-day wear the same
kind of dresses their grandmothers
wore and are not troubled about
styles.
Two suits year are quite enough
for most birds, but they need to take
great care of them.
Each separate feather must be
cleaned and looked over and the use
less ones pulled out.
You have seen a canary preening
his feathers by lifting them and
smoothing them out with his bill, and
you may have thought him vain to do
this so often.
But necessity and not vanity is the
cause of his frequent dressings.
If you neglect to comb your hair

when their bills are presented to

that you are indebted for tens of thou
