apparently without any injury to his
system until one morning. after par
ticularly strenuous attack on the to-

constitution shattered.
Very promptly he called in a ply

Of his doctor or not.

only 50 years old-Pattison has been

the world stronger than Kentucky to-

And If one kind OF Kentucky tobacco

kind that comes IN twists. Either

same as In the case OF Pattison-earIy

smoked eighteen or nineteen pipes OF it
every day for something like seventy

Body should rise to inquire
y simple arithmet.caI proposition
shows that Mr.. Pattison smoked $50
pipes OF tobacco every year while he
was breaking down his constitution.
Estimating that each pipe contained an
eighth OF an ounce of the deadly stuff
we soon find that in seventy-fve years
he smoked 492.75O pipes. containing. in
the aggregate. 6159e7t ounces or 3,224I5

BIRDS WITH ODD WAYS.
BurrOwing Owls. Ostriches and Mound
Builders,

OF course all birds live in more OF
less close relation to the earth, but
some are peculiarly associated with
1t, or depend upon it more especially
for certain requirements. Not the least
interesting Of these are the burrowlng
owls. 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 owlets are Matched, and here they
are fed on fat grasshoppers and mica
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
Of birds which have found 1t SO good
for them to spend their life in running
| that they are without the power of
fight, and are never able to rise above
the ground-"winged creatures" Of the
earth, not the "air."
The bird which is pre-emfnently OF
the earth earthly lives in the far anti.
podes-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
mound of leaves and dirt, leaving
them-reptile-lik hatch from the
heat generated in the pile Of decaying
vegetation. 1t is thought that the par
ents never see their offspring, which
are fully feathered when they leave
the egg 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 men,
Der of this class Of birds, made to
spend it's life partly in the air, Matching
In a tightly packed, damp mound of
earth six feet below the surface! We
cannot censure the parents for shirk-
ing the responsibilities of incubation
when we think of the enormous
amount of work necessary to collect
such masses Of rubbish, which measure
sometimes so feet in circumference and
fourteen feet in height. OF course, this
is not collected in one year, but it is a
great undertaking for birds no larger
than our common grouse. Thus we
see man cannot take the credit of hav-
ing first used an artificial incubator to
hatch the eggs Of birds.-C. William
Beebe. Curator of Ornithology, New
York Geological Society. -.

Chinese Careful Buyers.

OF one thing the American manufac-
turer should in particular beware.
namely, of the delusion that it is possi-
BILE to pass off a spurious article on
the Chinese as the real thing. The
Chinese are very careful in sampling
the goods they buy, and they take
nothing for granted on receiving the
goods, but are exceedingly patient in
examining them to find out if they are
according to contract. There has been
tendency on the part of American
exporters to the empire to ignore that
fact. The first thing an occidental
merchant needs to get into his head
in dealing with the Chinese merchants
is that he is dealing with a class of
people fully his equal in business as
tuteness. The Chinaman knows what
he wants, and he is no more disposed
to take what he does not want than
anyone else.-Wool and Cotton Re-
porter.
