Clever Needle Woman.

TT would seem that the use of the hands
 would be a necessity to seamstress, yet
 there is an expert in needle craft living
 insSag Harbor, L. l.. who has no use or
 either hands or feet She does the most exquisite work holding her needle in her mouth. When she wants to thread a needle she sticks it into the soft wood or her work table with her mouth, and then, biting off the cotton the right length. passes it through the eye with her lips with more quickness and dexterty than most nimble fingered women show. She can tie knots in her thread with her tongue andsworks quite rapidly. One of the speci- mems of her skill is a crazy quilt which contains over three hundred different fancy stitches. She is also an artist Of some skill in the use of brush and crayons.

Balloon Shooting.

INTERESTING experiments have been carried out by the Austrian army to as- | certain the possibility of disabling bal loon when floating in the air by either rifle or gun fire. A balloon was anchored at the height of about seven thousand feet, and the gunners, kept in ignorance of the range. were then commanded to dis able the balloon. The difficulty of hitting the balloon when in midair can be real ized from the fact that the gunners fired twenty-two shots before the approximate range was found. and it was not till tha sixty-fourth round that the balloon was hit, and then only slightly.

TT HIS toad is by common consent cred. \ ited to be the champion fly catcher Of | his species. Of course, there are other
 animals and reptiles that are thus gifted, but the horned toad is the only kind that can be domesticated and put to good service In clearing room of flies. A full grown specimen is about four inches in length and is of reddish brown. color, the back spotted with yellow and covered with small pointed scales. The house cat never molests it. Seldom found near the water, it lives in the mountainous parts of California and other sections. It IS per fectly harmless and easily tanned.

 Appetites of Birds.
 IF man were to eat as much in pro- | portion to his sIze as the sparrow he ! would need whole sheep for his din-
 ner, a couple dozen fowls for his break fast and six turkeys for his evening meal. A tree sparrow has been known to eat seven hundred grass seeds In a day. But if the birds have larger appe- 'tites than men they also can and do work harder than the ordiuary man. A pair of house martins when nesting will feed their young on an average of once in every twenty seconds-that Is, each bird, male and female, makes ninety journeys to and fro in an hour. or per haps a thousand In day. It must be remembered that the bird has the added work of finding and catching the insects. Even so small bird as the wren has been known to make no trips to and from its nest within 430 minutes, and the prey it carried home consisted of insects larger and heavier than those carried by the mar tins. rr4ts

CanarY's Appetite.

| T is common to say that those who are
 very dainty in eating have the appetite of canary. An experiment has recent
 ly been made in the direction of finding out just what the appetite of d canary is. A canary was weighed. and 1t was found to turn the scale at 2i7 grains, or some thing over half an ounce. The food also was weighed, and 1t was found that the bird eats thirty-two times it's weight every month, or actually more than it's weight every day. thus showing that the iproverbial pig is light eater compared with the canary.
