BIRDS WITH ODD WAYS.
Owls That Barrow anA Curious
reathered Msuud Bsilders That
Never See Their YOusx.

OF course all birds live In more or less
close rela ton to the earth, but some
are peculiarly associated with it, or de-
pend upon it more especially for GER
tain requirements. Not the least In
tereSting of these are the burrowing
owls, says c. William Beebe, curator OF
ornithology. New York Geological So
ciety. 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 owletA are Matched, and here
they feed 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 counting
in broad daylight.
Ostriches may be mentioned as types
for them to spend their life in run
ming that they are without the power
OF flight, and are never able to rise
above the ground-"winged creatures"
OF the earth, not the "air."
The bird which is prominently Of
the earth earthly lives in the far an
upodes-Australia and the Philippine
Islands. 1t is the megapode, or mound
builder, and has the curious habit Of
burying its eggs in the ground or in
a mound Of leaves and dirt, leaving
them-reptile~like--to hatch from the
heat generated In the pile Of decaying
vegetation. II is thought that the
parents never see their offspring,
which are fully feathered when they
leave the nest and able to dig out and
fly at once. This unusual development
at birth Is made possible by the great
amount OF nourishing yolk in the eggs,
which are very large in proportion to
the size OF the bird Think Of mem
Der OF this class Of birds, made to
spend its lie partly In the air. hatch

We cannot censure the parents for
Sinking the responsibilities of incu-
baton when we think Of the enormous
amount OF work necessary TO collect
such masses OF rubbish, which measure
sometimes $50 feet In circumference
and IA feet In height. OF course, this
Is not collected in one year, but 1t is
agreat undertaking for birds no larger
than our common grouse. Thus we
see man cannot take the credit Of hav-
ing first used an artificial ncubator TO
hatch the eggs OF birds.

look at this stone." said young
journeyman jeweler in a street car
the other day, removing tissue paper
wrapping from q piece Of white wax,
IN the center of which blazed beau
tiful diamond. THAT Is worth at
least $780,"
How is it that you can afford to
buy such valuab bic stone as that? he
was asked, says the New York Times.
81 will put you on" said the jeweler.
"That stone has been growing for .
year, and think it has got its growth"
what do you mean by diamond
growing?"
~ will tell you. You remember the
little spark l had in my scarfpin last
year? Well, thisis what it has grown to
in that time. That little stone cost
me $3.50. l sold the pin for So and
bought an eighth-carat stone little
of shape, for a trife over IS. / put
the stone in stud setting on spiral
and sold it the same week for $1S.
Then I went to the Office and bought
the best stone could get for SIS and
mounted that in the same manner. l
wore it a month, and then sold it for
$50 to q bartender, and put $25 IN an
other stone. 1t was little beauty. /
traded it for another of the same size
and got IS to boot. That put the stone
down to $50, and put it in setting
which stood me So. This combination
I sold in few days for $35. got an
other stone for $780, and this time two
months passed before could make
another trade. However, when l did
l cleared s12, which I put in fine
stone, which brought me up to $50.
This sold in a handsome stud setting.
"Then l got a chance to sell ring
for $75. / made it to order, putting in
a stone which cost me $42. so. Iput the
$75 into another stone, which after
carrying around with me for awhile,
I had about made up my mind 10 keep.
A butcher offered me 500 for 1t, and
you may be sure he got it. It was in a
crown setting which cost me $6.75.
For the 500 got dandy stone, and
1 was sure could keep that one, but
I have had four better since and have
lacked my figure up to $3.50. I'm
afraid can't go much higher than
that, for there are few men of my ac-
guaintance who can afford to tempt
me with a profitable offer for it. !
wouldn't sell 1t tonight for 5000, be-
cause I know that l have a bargain.
I'm pretty fair judge of diamonds,

Soon after Senator Tillman's dis
pensary law went into effect in South
Carolina the United States court de-
clared that liquors brought into the
state for personal use could not be
seized by the constables. Naturally.
every shipment was marked "for per-
sonal USE" and, respecting the fed
eral authority, the officers would not
seize it. A few days after the all
nouncement of the courts ruling, a
machinery establishment in Charles
ton loaded cotton gin for thu in
terror, and it went out on q big
truck. Five miles from the city the
truck broke down, and the cotton
machine was left on the road until
another team could be provided. Be-
fore it was moved a man drove by.
Taking a pasteboard box from his
buggy he tore of wide strip and

during the night. Jack alternated be-
tween bursts of passion and a devil
may care spirit. sprinkled with humor-
which served to Tighten momentarily
the gloom for the others. but only rem
dered me more wretched; Buck craved
food more than all the rest and after q
few vain efforts to appear unconcerned
took on a CHASTITY look that cut me to
the heart; Ginger spent great deal of
his time In prayer; Helen seemed calm,
yet l noticed strange look In her eye.
Up to this terrible morning she had
been the mainstay of the party. Un-
der the strain that smoldering fire
which burned within her Jared omi-
nously. Turning to me. she asked
harshly:
Are you Confederate or are you a

"What matters 1t now"

you to be Confederate"
would you abandon me now II you
knew me to be a Union MANI"
She turned away, and saw that she
was weeping put my arm about her
and drew her head down on my breast.
There she wept long and silently.

she did or whether her sufferlngs made

felt her heart beating against mine

love.
AS the sun rose higher 1t beat down
upon us with all the enervating heat OF
an unreasonable day. The water drip
ping back Of us alone sustained and
refreshed us. One by one we would go
to the cleft and, standing under the
cooling drops, receive them In our
mouths. We envied the birds the food
| they bore to their nests and the free
dom Of those soaring far above In the
limitless ocean of air. Why could we
not be given wings to fly from our
rocky prison? The wrecked are prone
to dwell on Authorizations. So to us
came sounds denOting the approach Of

Listen" said Helen.
We all listened, but so far as l was
concerned there was no unusual sound.
II hear them, too" said Jack.
1t was singular that these two should
agree. l looked anxiously Mt Helen.
My bearing was not especially acute.
II Helen had heard. might have
thought there was something to hear.
She listened long while, but no sound
came to her.

l turned away. 1t was plain to me
that they had been tortured by another
hallucination. Neither Buck nor Jack
heard anything more and the incident
was soon forgotten. at least by Helen
and by me, who had heard nothing.

Much Damage to Railroads.

Much Damage to Railroads.
Marysvillc, Kas., Aug. 97.-A cloud
burst struck in this vicinity, causing
the Big Blue river to rise sixteen feet
within a few hours and sending a great
food of water south down the bottoms
along that stream. Many Inhabitants
in the lowlands were driven from their
homes and heavy damage to property
was done. Frederick Ivers, of Bailey
vile, went down with Il bridge and
was drowned.
Marysville was deluged and the bot
toms were filed with water from three
to fifteen feet deep. Fifty houses were
almost entirely submerged, their in
mates taking refuge in trees and on
house tops. Seventy-five persons had
been rescued in boats at daylight, and
by noon twenty others had been taken
to places of safety. The storm washed
out the tracks on the Blue Valley
branch of the Union Pacific for several
miles, and wiped out telegraph and
telephone wires.
At Blue Rapids the Blue river rose
to within few inches of the highest
point in the June rise, causing much
damage to farm and property.
A wall of water struck Vleits, town
of 1000 on the Vermillion river, driv-
ing the residents of the lowlands from
their homes while 25 residences were
inundated The damage at that place
is estimated at $4,000. The river was
three miles wide.
Slight damage was also done at Mari
eta, north of Marysville, close to the
Nebraska line.
The same storm struck Seneca, where
four and three-quarters inches of
water fell. 1t was the heaviest down
fall since 1888 and it left the Nemaha
river the highest for years. Many
fields were Inundated, the Grand
Island railway bridge at Beattie went
out, and several miles of track and half
a dozen culverts on that road were
wrecked.

six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
after 1 had used three boxes 1 was all
right. 1 am as well as ever, and

highly.
