The Vision of Birds.

Birds have very acute vision, per-
haps the most acute of any creature,
and the sense is also more widely diff
fused over the retina than is the case
with man. Consequently a bird can
see sideways as well as objects in front
of it. A bird sees, showing great un-
easiness in consequence, hawk long
before it is visible to man. So, too,
fowls and pigeons find minute scraps
of food, distinguishing them from
what appear to us exactly similar
pieces of earth or gravel.
Young chickens are also able to find
their own food, knowing its position
and how distant it is, as soon as they
are hatched, whereas child only very
gradually learns either to see or to
understand the distance of objects.
Several birds, apparently the young Of
all those that nest on the ground, can
see quite well directly they come out
Of the shell, but the young of birds that
nest in trees or on rocks are born blind
and have to be fed-Chambers' Jour-
nal.

Told Out of School.

The infant terrible is always with
US and in making trouble runs a close
race with the wagging tongue Of
scandal. Accompanied by her young
hopeful, woman was calling on a
friend who happened to live in one Of
row Of houses Of exactly the same
appearance.
1.-THE great objection to living in a
row of houses" remarked the hostess,
''is the liability of making a mistake.
Do you ever have any difficulty, my.
dearr
'+Oh, no." replied the little flend,
breaking in Unexpectedly. "Ma says
she can always tell your house by the
dirty windows" New York Times.

WISE MEMS MISTAKES.
Some of the Queer BIunders Made
by Famous Writers.

Some of the Queer B1unders Made
by Famous Writers.
Now and then one meets with pas
sages in the works of the most cele-
brated authors which display an ig-
norance of things that every schoolboy
is supposed to know.
Sir Walter Scott in his Heart of
Midlothian" speaks of his heroine as
having "the merit of those peacemak-
ers to whom it is pronounced as a
benediction that tl'oy STALL inherit the
earth" Born and bred and passing
his life in Bible reading Scotland, Sir
Walter was yet ignorant of the fact
that it was to the meek that the in
heritance of the earth was promised,
and the benediction of the peacemakers
was that they shall be called the chill
dren of Cod
Dickens in his Tale of Two Cities
says "the name of the strong man of
old Scripture descended to the chief
functionary who worked the guillo-
tine" One does not have to be pro
to know that the notorious executioner
who chopped off heads in the Place de
Ia Revolution was named Samson and
not Samson.
The lowest pupil in the lowest class
in history in the public schools knows
that it was Balboa who discovered the
Pacific ocean, yet Keats in his i'm:
mortal sonnet "On First Looking Into
Chapman's Homer" makes Cortes the
man who stood "silent upon a peak in
Darien" and saw the great "south sea"
stretching away before him.
The great Gibbon, who was so intoi-
Grant of the errors of other men,
speaks in his Roman Empire" of "the
OXus and the JaXartes, two rivers of
ancient renown which descend from
the mountains of India toward the
Caspian sea-" Yet every school geog-
raphy shows that the two rivers flow
into the sea of Aral, and the Jaxartes
most certainly rises in no mountains
of India"
Shakespeare wrote of "the coast of
Bohemia" and in his Gertrude Of
Wyoming Campbell had tigers prowl-
ing through the jungles of Pennsylva-
MIA. Such Ignorance in high places
cannot be excused, for, with ordinary
ease. Gibbon, Shakespeare and Camp
bell could have ascertained the facts.

the commercial traveller, "and the time

MAnslo-saxon English. /.

There is an old fallacy that Anglo
Saxon words are the best. The fallacy
is based on the belief that words OF
Anglo-Saxon origin are more simple
and vigorous than those derived from
Latin. In point Of fact, some Anglo
Saxon words are obscure and long, and
many of our commonest, most simple
words are from the Latin. The Lon
don News tells story in point.
A barrister more remarkable for the
vigor of his address to juries than for
his learning was commenting on the
proceeding of the other party in case
under trial.
II do not know what gloss my
learned friend is going to put upon this
matter, but will not mince my words.
I denounce it in plain, downright An
glo-Saxon as a nefarious transaction. F"

Chinese Scandal Merchants.

In China there is a profession for
ladies, strange because openly and
handsomely remunerated in the cur
rent coin Of the realm. 1t is carried
on by elderly ladies, who go from
house to house of rich people, announc-
ing their coming by beating a drum
and Offering their services to amuse
the lady Of the house. This offer ac-
cepted, they sit down and tell her the
latest scandal and the newest stories
and on dts and are rewarded at the
rate Of half crown an hour, besides
handsome present should some portion
of their gossip have proved particular
ly cceptable.-London Tit-Bits.

PAPERING THE PINS.
An Ingenious Operation That Is Per
formed by Machinery.

formed by Machinery.
The first pins made in this country
were very crude indeed, merely a bit
of wire twisted into a knot for a head
at one end and sharpened to a point at
the other. Their successors of today
undergo a surprising variety of opera
tions before they are considered fit for
use
In comparison with the size of the
object manufactured the operations
seem bewilderingly numerous, but if
there be one process more remarkable
than another it is "papering the pins y
The papers, having been passed
through an ingenious machine which.
at regular intervals, according to the
size of the pin, pinches up a fold and
pricks hole in it, are ready to receive
the pins.
For this purpose there is another ma
chine, worked by two children. One
feeds the pins, the other the papers.
The first part of the machine is a box
about twelve inches long, six broad and
four deep. The bottom is composed of
small square steel bars, sufficiently far
apart to let the shank of the pin fall
through, but not the head. These bars
are just as thick as the space between
papered pins The lower part of the
bottom of the box is made to detach it
self as soon as the row of pins is COM
plete. Row after row, at regular in
tervals, is received and passed down a
corresponding set of grooves until it
reaches the ready pricked paper. By
the incest possible adjustment these
pins come exactly to their places and
are pressed into them. By this method
two little girls can in one day put up
many thousands of papers.-Kansas
City Star.
