The EARLY Catbird.

At 4 o'clock the catbirds have it all
to themselves, and they will not only
sing their hearts out into the trees and
the sky, but they will give us imita-
tons and will sing over again all the
sounds and melodies they have heard.
My nearest neighbor, who builds in the
Tartarian honeysuckle, comes near to
me with evident comprehension of my
admiration and undertakes to tell me
that he is not like other birds, but
understands human folk. He jumps
about the limbs neal to me and with
whistle calls back and forth, I envying
his musical ability and he possibly
wondering somewhat about my books
and my balconies. 1 should be very
lonely in the country without the cat
bird. He only has the power Of COM
partnership with us.-Independent.

The Ibos on the Niger.

Ivory anklets, often very heavy, are
only worn by the Ibo women of wealth
and Importance, but the metal anklets
worn by others may be many pounds
In weight, and some of them wear huge
brass plates, perhaps n foot in diam
eter, which, once fixed to the ankles,
are never removed. The men wear a
single strip Of cotton cloth, but those
who come much in contact with the
Europeans are now learning to wear
trousers. Their weapons are flint
locks, bows and spears, the latter both
for hurting and thrusting.
The huts are built of mud and mat
ting and are quadrangular in shape.
The center is an open courtyard, at
one end Of which is the apartment Of
the head of the house, while the wives
and family are accommodated in other
rooms on the right and left Of the
courtyard. There is no furniture or
ornament and but a few household
utensils and w~eapons.-All the Year

He Built One Of the Pyramid..


The British museum, the great Euro
pean ~storehouse of things out of the
ordinary, has hundreds of Egyptian
mummies of all dynasties carefully
slowed way within its walls. Some of
these are comparatively recent efforts
at embalming, and others date back to
the wide revolving shades of centu-
ries past" The oldest of the entire col
lection Is the mummy of Mykerinos.
He was a king in Egypt in what is
known to history as the fourth dynas-
ty" and wore his golden tiara and sat
on the throne of thrones 1000 years be-
fore the wise men followed the star of
fate till it stopped over that lowly
hovel in Bethlehem where the infant
Jesus lay.
Mykerinos was the builder of the
third pyramid at Gizeh, where his
headless mummy was discovered in
the year 1886. The stone coffin in
which he was being transported to
England was lost at sea and lay at the
bottom of the ocean for two years be-
fore being recovered. 1t is seldom that
a mans bones are subjected to vicissi-
tudes, especially 5000 or 5000 years
after his death.

THE N

Am Ingenious Operation That Is Per-
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 M end and sharpened to a point at
the other. Their successors of today
undergo a surprising variety of opera
tons before they are considered fit for
use.
In comparison with the size of the
object manufactured the operations
seem Overwhelmingly numerous. but if
there be one process more remarkable
than another it is "papering the pins"
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 a 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 o
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

Leisure at Meals.

Take at least one meal a day leisure

take one meal a day ~leisurely at any
cost. The other two meals eat lightly.
Let the hearty meal be the leisure

men is after the days work is over.
Do not hurry in getting to the table.
Take time in getting ready for it. Hav-
ing come to the meal in an unburried
state Of mind, you VIII enjoy it better
because it will taste and digest better.

The Decimal Point.

In both France and Germany one
fourth CD reduced to a decimal is writ
ten as %; in England it is written
% always with the period at the top
of the line) and in the United States in
this way, %. France and Germany
always use the comma, England and
the United States the period, the only
difference being the manner in which it
is placed upon the line. Sir Isaac New
ton is given the credit of originating
the present English method of using
the decimal point, his reasons being
that by placing it at the top of the line
it could be distinguished at a glance
from the full stop" punctuation mark.
All English mathematicians use the
mark in the way proposed by Newton
and the period as a sign of multiplied
ton.

The Glove Is as Old ns History.

1t might be readily supposed that the
glove was an article of modern luxury.
On the contrary. these hand coverings
date back almost as far as history it
self. Homer mentions them in his writ
ings, and Xenophon also. stating that
the great Cyrus once forgot his gloves
on an important occasion. From the
earliest times the manufacture Of
gloves has been an important trade in
France, and in 100 Charlemagne grant
ed an unlimited right to the abbot and
monks of Sithin to make gloves from
the skins of deer they killed. The word
glove being of Anglo-SaXon origin, it is
conjectured by some hat the Saxons
introduced the trade Of glove making
into England.
