SPREAD PLEASANT ODORS.
Perfumed Lamps and Rings May Be
Used for Distinction Of Rooms
and Cars.

The use OF perfume as disinfectant
is well known. and the scented dandy"
has perhaps more hygienic wisdom than
his detractors give him credit for. says
the London Express. II Is he who Is
trying 10 revive the use of the perfumed
fountain ring. an article de luxe which
may either be used as an ornament or
as a means OF a pleasant disinfectant
in stuffy underground trains or in in
salubrious districts.
The ring is an ordinary gold one fitted
with ball at the back. II is filed by
pressing the ball nearly fat, and dipping
the ring into a cup OF scent, when the
elasticity Of the ball draws the perfume
into the interior till quite full. By the
least pressure the wearer of the ring
can cause a jet of scent to shed its re-
freshing aroma any moment he pleases,
and he may thus act as benefactor OF
a nuisance TO those in his vicinity.
The perfume lamp may also be used
as another pleasant method of disin-
fecting a room. A ball OF spongy plat
mum is placed over the center OF the
wick. and is fixed in its position by a
thin glass rod, which is inserted into
the wick. The lamp Is then filled with
any scented spirit, and when lighted Is
allowed TO burn until the platinum gets
red hot. The flame is then blown out
and a pleasant odor fills the atmosphere

THE GREAT HORNED OWL
Tom Cat In Pitched
Battle.

The cruel and powerful great horned
owl is bird of the. eastern states, but
It's brothers-the western horned owl,
Arctic horned owl and others-are found
in the west and north. II has been
known. says Woman's Home Compan-
ion, to kill a large tom cat in pitched
battle. and on one occasion. while l was
handling an owl OF this species. it drove
its talons through two thick pairs OF
leather gloves. and deep into my hand
have seen one break the back Of a
squirrel at single bite, and only last
January I learned of another, which
picked up and carried a full-grown
struggling grouse over a hill for a dis
tance Of more than so yards before de-
vouring it. The great horned owl nests
very early in the year, sometimes even
in February. utilizing the deserted nest
Of hawk. crow or squirrel L, lays two
or three eggs, which. like the eggs Of all
other owls. are white. Woe to the small
boy who ventures to take these eggs
or the downy white nestlings which
come out of them. have known a man
to be nearly scalped by the parent birds
while trying TO steal young horned owls.

TWixf LIZARD AND BIRD.
The Hoatzin q Curious Animal and an
Important Link in Evolu-
ton of the Fowl.

One OF the most interesting birds
known To science is the hoatzin, say
Jerrard Grant Allen and Leonard But
tress, in an article on Bird Babies"
in Pearson's. Indigenous to South
America. this precocious youngster
has made itself famous by the arboreal
feats which it performs while yet II
very tender age. On the thumb"
and ''forefinger" of the young hoat-
armed with these, the tiny creature
crawls out of its nest and chambers
about the boughs of trees, using them
as hands. by means of which it hooks
itself along. The progress, indeed. ex-
actly corresponds to the early pedes-
trian efforts of the human baby, whose
first perembulations are made with the
assistance of friendly chairs and otner
furniture. These little claws of the
hoatzin are used only in infancy, drop
ping of as soon as the power OF flight
has been attained. The chief interest
of the species, however, attaches 10
the fact that it is one of the most
primitive forms of bird now in exist
ence. and affords an important link
with the ancestry of the fowl Of to-day.
Originally. as is generally known,
birds were evolved from the lizard
family, and the hoatzin forms COM
paratively early step in the progress
sion from reptile to bird. Even when
its wings are full grown. SO imperfec'
are they that no upward soaring car
be negotiated. and their only use is In
making short flights from a higher &c
a lower branch. while the ease viii
which the hoatzin climbs affords an
other indication OF its proximity to thu

KEEP BIBLE FOR LUCK.
Business Firm of sycs more, IN, Locks
Book in the Safe to Avoid =
Robbery.

At Sycamore, ILL.,, a well-known
business firm makes it a practice to
keep Bible in the safe. This custom
was commenced a long time ago and
the big steel box is never locked up
unless 1t contains the book. II is
kept in the money drawer of the safe.
1t is found necessary to remove II oc-
casionally, but 1t is always carefully
replaced.
The men who adopted this queer
practice when they commenced busi-
ness years ago have little to say in
explanation. In all their business life
their safe or store has never been
robbed or entered. They have had a
continuous good business, and are
among the most successful business
houses Of the town. All of the men,
bers Of the firm attend the churches
Of the town, but al are liberal in their
religious Views, and the prevailing be-
lief In the town 10 that holy writ ID
kept In the safe principally for good
luck.

Prophet.

Father John, of Cronstadt, Russia,
is credited here with an alleged mira
Gle. A St Petersburg workman re-
lated to him sad story Of domestic
woe. His wife was bedridden, his eld-
er son a confirmed drunkard, his only
daughters whereabouts were unknown
and the younger son was losing his
sight through disease.
Father John said he would intsrcede
for the relief of the workman by
prayer, and told him he might expect
result on q certain evening. On the
evening named the workman's wife
arose, dressed and went about her
housework. which she had not done
for years. Later the elder son entered
the house, his eyes filled with tears
Of penitence. and declaring that he had
reformed. Then the younger son ar
rived, stating that an oculist had told
him his eyes were cured. To complete
the parents Joy the daughter returned,
explaining her absence satisfactorily.
The next day the workman received
a letter from Father John saying that
he had reason to believe the prayers
had been heard, and asking for con-
frmation.

REVENGE ON A GRAVESTONE.
Reckless Maine Marksman Put ON
Record There for an Acci-
dental killing.

Shot by the son of Elnathan Will
liams," is the inscription carved in
large letters on a gravestone recently
made to order by an Augusta (Me.)
marble worker and erected in ceme-
terry at South China, Kennebec coun-
ty, over the grave Of 16-year-old Her.
bert B. Plaisted, who was accidental
ly shot by another boy last summer.
Young Plaisted, with his brother,
was out in boat on China lake On
the shore, hundred yards away, was
Harold Williams, of Waltham, Mass.
Thinking that the Plaisted boys might
like to hear the hum of a bullet, the
Williams boy fred his 22-caliber
weapon in their direction, aiming 20
feet to one side. The bullet struck
the water, was DETECTED and entered
the forehead of Herbert Plaisted just
above the left eye. He died in few
days.
The boys parents were divided be-
tween grief over the loss of their son
and Indignation at the Williams boy.
They could not prosecute, but the in
scription on the gravestone Is an in
dication Of their feelings. The marble
cutter says this Is the first instance
Of the kind that he has known in 40
years experience. The neighbors are
indignant, as the shooting was purely
accidental.

A belief in coal as talisman is said

dreams maintain that TO dream of coal
is certain sign of coming riches Then,

pin for Master who Values
Him Highly.

Hillie Donelson. Of Lower Alloway
Creek, near Salem, N. j., has bird dog
which he values at high figures, because
1t points" terrapin. Donelson is some
thing Of trapper, and on one of his trips
recently he ran across terrapin OF good
size. He gave the turtle a wash, and
let his dog sniff It for minute. Later
on the intelligent beast stood" at a
hole In the ground, as II to say to his
master: Better look here; there's some
thing doing"
Donelson was for ignoring the dog,
but thought better of it. Upon exam
lining the hole he pulled out a fine, large
terrapin. A few hours later In the day
the animal repeated the performance
with gratifying results, and his master
considers him the only turtle hunter in
the state.
