A Bird That Is Feared.

The elster Pica candata) is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to the
raven tribe and is about the size of a
dove, with black and white feathers
and long, pointed tail. 1t builds its
nest in orchards, and its life is sacred.
If it is seen three times in succession
on the same house top in a place re-
mote from its home it is believed to be
a sure sign of death in that house. If
1t files and gives its peculiar cry the
sick person is sure to die,. but If it
does not scream the patient may re-
cover. 1t is better for the sick per-
son If the bird does not come near
No one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and If by chance one of them should
die it is q sign of bad luck to the owner
of the property where it is found.
The bird is a valuable insect destroyer
and in this way probably more than
compensates for the fear it occasions
among the farmers.

Pedicurine nm E1enhnnt.

The tools for trimming elephants feet
are carpenters drawknife and rasp
for the soles and q horseshoers knife
and sandpaper for the toe nails. The
operator places beer keg or a strong
box behind one huge hind foot, lightly
prods the thick ankle with his elephant
hook and commands the beast to "Hold
up" Up comes the mighty foot, slowly
and heavily, but obediently as the vel
vety paw Of kitten. The foot is rest
ed on the box or the keg, where it re-
mains while the expert works on it
much as horseshoer pares the hoof of
a horse. Great slivers Of the horny
sole are sliced off until 1t is cut nearly
to proper thickness, when the rasp is
used to smooth off. Similarly the toe
nails are treated with the knife and the
sandpaper, while the big patient stands
with swinging trunk and an occasional
wag of an ear, too full Of satisfaction
for utterance. When the turn of the
forefoot comes, the great beast is made
to lie down on it's side and the hoofs
are propped up and treated Clure's.

Different From a Mountain.

A certain Philadelphian, who is at
once minister of the gospel and a reg
istered physician, had an amusing eX-
perience in his attempt to corner a
Christian Scientist, according to the
Philadelphia Ledger.
Every time they met this scientist
took occasion to scoff at medical sci
ence and to dwell upon the wonders
that could be performed through faith.
You are convinced that through faith
you can do anything" said the medical
man one day.
YES" he replied; faith will move
mountains"
A week later he was in the doctors
office with swollen jaw, due to tooth
ache.
What! You here?' the doctor ex-
claimed, with feigned astonishment
ooh, DOCTOR" he said, 81 have suf-
fered agony all through the night. 1

"Have you tried faith?" the physi-
clan asked him. You know you told
me faith could move mountains"

Animals Become Insane.

Insanity in the human subject is sup
posed by some to have no analogue in
the lower animals. Yet many cases,
according to DR.. Sneilson, will lead to
the permanent loss of self control.
Cattle driven from the country through
a crowded town will often work
themselves into a frenzy. Horses
have gone mad on the battlefield At
Balaklava an Arabian horse turned on
its attendant, threw him down and,
kneeling on him, attacked him like an
1nfuriated dog. An instance is related
of docile horse suddenly going mad
on a hot day. Everything that came
in its way 1t seized In its teeth and
shook as terrier does a rat. A scien-
tist of authority even goes so far as to
prove by what appears to be incontest-
able evidence that cats, dogs and
monkeys have been observed to have
delusions very similar to those of in
sane people.-London Globe

A Worthy Man.

When William E. Chandler was in
the United States senate he was visit
ed by delegation from his home town,
Concord, N. II. The object was to
have Mr.. Chandler assist in selecting
a candidate for mayor of Concord.
Name after name was offered to the
senator only to be rejected. Finally a
delegate who was not especially pleas
ing to Mr.. Chandler asked: well. who
in thunder do you want, anyway? How
arc we going to know when a man
does possess the qualities that will en-
title him to your approval?'
when you find a man who isn't
ashamed to show respect for women,
love for children and animals and who
will walk to the edge of the sidewalk
at midnight when no one is watching
to do his expectoratipg into the street
you may be sure that he possesses all
the civic virtues and is fully worthy
of any Office you may be able to give
him." was the quiet response.

Washington Named 1t.

The question, "'Who named the EN-
pire State?" Is often asked. but seldom
properly answered. General Washing
ton is the man to whom that and many
other honors belong. In his reply to
the address of the common council Of
New York city" the great general said: :
II pray that heaven bestow its choicest
blessings on your city; that well reg
ulated and beneficial commerce may
enrich your citizens, and that your
state, at present the seat of empire,
may set such examples Of wisdom and
liberality as shall have tendency to
strengthen and give a permanency to
the Union at home and credit and re-
spectability abroad"
This is, Of course, an inferential al
fusion, but was the origin of New
York's popular name nevertheless.

but with dread. He heard footsteps In
the house.
"Anna-Anna Saratovskyr' he cried
in low voice. He heard an inarticu-
late sound. Alexandrovitch strobe over
the dead. He sought the living. He
peered into the house. In a corner
silent struggle-a struggle to the death
was being fought. 1t was a young
girl, Anna Saratovsky, gagged, but
with free hands that she had torn clear
of their bonds, fighting for dear life
against two men. 1t did not last long,
for Alexandrovitch was there. He
sprang into the midst and struck out
right and left.
$50, SO, Boroskd," he cried to one of
the men. ''It is you who are the das-
tard. That for you. Borosfd! And that
for you, Mongolovitchr'
These two men were men that Alex
androvitch knew as well as he knew
his brother, but it was all one now,
for there was murder in the heart of
Alexandrovitch, even as there had been
murder in the heart of the two men,
for AleXandrovitch was fighting for
something more than his own life, and
he was a maniac for the instant-a
wild beast. Finally he drew his hand
across his brow and turned to Anna
Saratovsky. Then he stepped back and
opened rear door.
"Anna Saratovsky," he said, "thy ia

even leave them where they are. The
Holy Mother will protect them. Come

was a long silence between them.
Suddenly Alexandrovitch bent down
his head. Little one," he whispered,

Thou didst save me once from death.
Ny life belongs to you and yours to me.
Let us go through life together, little
one. Today our faith is one-our creed

Dividing the Sexes.

While worshiping in little chapel
of-ease a few. miles from Ruthin, on
the Wrexham road, the sexes are so
strictly divided that they cannot even
see one another. The building forms a
right angle, in one arm of which the
men sit and the women in the other.
1t was built and endowed by a mi
sogynist Of the Stuart period who OBJ
jected to having his devotions distract

sympathizing with male posterity,
stipulated expressly for this division
in his deed of Observation-Disclosures

Happiness.

II am sometimes accused" writes
Sir John Lubbock, "of being too op-

denied the troubles and sorrows of life.
I have never said that men are happy,
but only that they might be; that if
they are not so the fault is generally
their own; that most of us throw away
more happiness than we enjoy"
