WI Ss!,l TIT.
BIRDS IN THE ARCTIC.
The Spring Rush That Breaks the Mo. notony of the Year.
The one great break in the mo-

The one great break in the mo- notony of the whole year along the arctic coast IS the coming of the birds in the spring. The nature of it is almost violent. The last of May they begin to arrive. The notes of the first few corners are musical and buoy one with feeling of mes sages from home and friends. But the stream of birds rapidly grows, and the few first joyous notes merge into ceaseless, hideous, distracting din that robs one of his rest and fol a few days becomes unbearable. Swans, cranes, geese, brant, ducks, gulls and terms sWoop down upon the coast by thousands. The old birds are delighted at the sight of the old family nesting ground and the young ones at reaching once more their birthplace, and the thou sands of them are all talking and screaming at the same time. The contrast of the now endless days of sunshine and abundant and animat- ed life with that of the still arctic night is very great.
 In few days, however, each hap py family has settled down in it's own little home, and quietude reigns supreme through the short summer, and then again sets in the long soi- tudinous night.
 Many interesting things may be learned of the birds that annually visit the arctic coast for the pur- pose of bringing up their families of their reasons for going there and of the intelligence displayed by them in many ways. They have not the enemies there they have farther south. The fox is very nearly their only foe, and they find so many ways of avoiding it that it would surely go very hungry were it dependent on birds for food. Little islands in lakes and streams that are free from foxes become great nesting places, and the birds swarm to them until on many of them every available space suitable for nesting IS pre- empted.-From "Camp Life In Arc tic America,'' by Andrew J. Stone, in Scribner's.

CONDENSED STORIES.
E. H. Sothern's Story of the Time
 When He Had Not a Cent.


 "We worked our way home," said E. H. Sothern, relating an expert ence with a stranded theatrical ven ture, "and when 1 landed on the New York side of Desbrosses street ferry l hadn't even my qast cent left. While l was standing there, refecting on the disadvantages of primitive means of locomotion, a young fellow named Armstrong. who had been out with us, came up and said:
 Well, shall we take a cab or a street carp
 "We looked at each other a mo- ment, while hope gleamed in the eyes of each that the other could pay some kind of fare. I knew l could not, and l was afraid to take chances on Armstrong, so said:
 I'm going to walk up, It's such a fine day I really prefer a walk
 "'What shall we do with our bags?' said Armstrong.
 I'm going to take mine with me- said. It's got a lot of things in it l don't like to trust out of my hands,
 "'Good idea,' said Armstrong. T don't like to leave my bag with any one either. I'll go along with you.
 "So up we trudged, halting at ev- cry block to set down our bags for a change of hands and to exchange expressions of unconscionable ad- miration about the fine weather.
 "When we reached the Sturtevant House." continued Sothern, "I lean- ed, exhausted, against the desk and inquired in an offhand way if there was any mail for me. A letter was handed out by the clerk, and upon opening it I found a draft for G3 for song l had written long time before flor Walter Slaughter, now a well known London composer. With far more princely air than I had ever simulated on the stasG I or. dered a room and with infinite sat isfaction watched the bellhcy stag ger off with my bag. ."-Pearson's.

An Extraordinary Country.

Louis Sherry, the caterer, tells an amusing story of a chef whom he brought over from France. The chef before his contract with Sher- ry began lived in idlcness for a month in Brooklyn. During the month lie walked all over Brooklyn, and he dincd all over it as well What impressed him was the multi tude of churches that he saw and the uniformity with which every thing he ate was served with a melt ed butter dressing. At the months end, when he reported for duty, MT. Sherry said to him:
 Well, Alphonsc, you have had 8 month to look about you. What do you think of America ?"
 Ut is an extraordinary country" Alphonse answered. 1t has twenty religions and only one. sauce."- Washington Times.

A Good Doq.

The man wanted to sell the dog, but the prospective buyer was sus- picious and finally decided not to buy. The man then told him why he was so anxious to sell.
 EYou see," he said, '|I bought the dog and trained him myself. l got him so he'd bark if person stepped inside the gate and thought, of course, I was safe from burglars. Then my wife wanted me to train him to carry bundles, and I did. If you put anything into his mouth it would stay there till some one took it away. Well, one night I woke up and heard some one in the next room. I got up, grabbed my gun and started to investigate. They were there, three of them and the dog"
 "Didn't he bark?' interrupted the man.
 ''Not bark; he was too busy.'
 "BusyI What doing?"
 "Carrying the lantern for the burglars. If you know anybody who wants good dog send him around. "

Window Curtains.

ln most rooms curtains should 1natch the walls in color, for if of different color the wall space is cut up, and in the small rooms of a city that should be avoided.
 If the room to be curtained is light and delicate in color the cur- tains may be light. But in this case let the material be chintz- When chintz is used for the curtains try to cover the furniture with chintz of the same design.
 Plain curtains are more effective. especially if the walls are plain. Al figured curtain gives the room 8 jerky look. Even if the walls were
 gured would a figured curtain be ! tty, for there would be differ ence of pattern.
 If a pattern must be used intro duce 1t into the border. A plain curtain with a rose border is prefer able to a rose covered curtain. Heavy materials look better hang ing in straight folds. The thin ma- terials can be caught up and draped.

Topped and Won.

Some years ago a remarkable wager was made between Captain Machell, racing celebrity, and an- other officer who was noted for his activity. Captain Machell bet his fellow officer G1O that he would not hop up a certain flight of stairs ''two at time" The bet was talk en; but, as there were forty-one steps in the flight, he found after taking twenty hops that he was left only one step to negotiate and had lost his bet. He accused Captain Machel of sharp practice, but Ma chell replied, "Well, I'll bet you an- other 91O I do it.'' The officer, thinking to get back his money, ac- cepted the bet. Captain Machell then hopped up forty steps in twen- ty hops and, hopping back one, fin ished by going up the last two steps and won,

A Good Rfnd Trick.

'FDo any of you boys and girls know how to place your hand in water without wetting it? Let me have a bowl full of water, please, , said boy to a number of persons gathered in his mothers parlor.
 "What for ?" he was asked.
 "Oh, to show trick" he an, swered. So the water was brought in.
 "Now," said he, "will some one please lend me finger ring?"
 One was lent him, and then he continued:
 ''Now I shall put it into this bowl of water and then take it out with out getting my hand wet
 |FPshaw! You can't do thatv' ex- claimed everybody.
 He placed the ring in the bowl oi water, and everybody looked to see that it was really there.
 Then from his pocket he took a small paper package and from il emptied out on the water a powder.
 "What's that?" asked some one.
 "Oh, that" he answered, lis anti wet powder. Now look while I take the ring out.'
 He plunged his hand in, took the ring out and held his hand up-dry
 Lycopodium was the name of the powder.

Hanging Pictures.
Euic

An artist gives as simple gener> al rule for hanging pictures that where only one row is to be hung the central point in each picture should be on the level with the eye of the ordinary person, This point is easily discovered, for the eye un- consciously rests upon it at the first glance. In a vignette portrait, for example, the central point is the chin. Careless and ignorant fram- CTS of pictures often disregard this point, which should regulate their work. The central point should be at the exact intersection of two di- agonal lines drawn from the corners of the frame, not the mat. It is a disregard of this which often gives the picture the effect of slipping out of it's frame.-Harper's Bazag.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Polly Tanned the Fierce Dog That
 Rushed at Her.

Mamma, I don't want to go to school alone," said little Polly "There is a great big dog that runs out and barks at me every day!"
 Mamma thought a minute. She was sorry for her little girl, but she wanted Polly to be a brave little woman who never gave up what she had undertaken.
 "See here, Polly" she said at last, 'T will wrap up this bit of meat and lay it in your dinner pail. When fowler rushes out you can give it to him, and then he will be sure to stop barking"
 Polly thanked mamma and start ed off with rather an anxious little face.
 She walked more and more slowly along the pleasant country road till she reached the white house by the poplars, where fowler lived.
 As soon as he saw her he jumped down from the doorstep where he was summing himself and ran out with terrible uproar. Polly thought he looked bigger and crosser than ever before.
 With trembling hand she drew out the meat and threw it toward him. Sure enough, he was quiet at once, smelled it, tasted it and then actually thumped his stumpy yellow tail against the groufd, which, you know, is a dogs way of saying, "Ihank you" - Youths Compan-

To Wash Out Stains.

The asserting of the clothes m one of the most important parts Of the washing. Many stains there are which, like those of precipitation, disappear magically with little soap and cold water. Others, like fruit, must be treated with boiling water and are permanently set by lukewarm water. If it is the prac- tice of the family to soak all the clothes in cold water before the washing Is begun great many stains will be permanently set. If the various stains are carefully sort ed out and properly treated hours of rubbing will be saved.
