Aularion of the United States. American men
- - and women not much given to marrying
HEMSNNNH las formerly Many who do marry, postpone
RSsSA the until youth has passed. and for this
and other reasons they rarely have large fami-
lies, and very frequently children at all.
Whether this decrease in the number Of fruitful mar

probably 1t Is the fault of bothf fault it be. The
bachelor maid becoming prominent feature In our
social life the bachelor and she has many apollo
gfss But those arguments which advanced in defense
Of her position founded nothing noble They are
taken from epicurean philosophy of selfshness,
which, if widely adopted would put end to the nation

DESERT SCAVENGERS.


1t Is probable that one never fully
credits the interdependence Of Wild
creatures, and their cognizance Of the
affairs Of their own kind and other
kinds. Mrs. Mary Austin, in 1.-The
Land of Little Rain" says that the
seavengers of the desert all keep an
eye on one another.
Never a coyote comes out Of his hair
to hunt, in the country Of the carrion
crows, but looks up first to see where
the crows are gathering. 1t is a suf-
ficient occupation for a windy morn
ing, on the listless, level mesa, to
watch the pair of them eying each
other furtively, with a tolerable as
sumption of unconcern, but no doubt
with certain amount of good under
standing.
When the five coyotes that range the
lyon from Pasteria to Tunawai
planned a relay race to bring down an
antelope strayed from the band, an
eagle swung down from Mount Pinos,
buzzards materlalized out of invisible
ether, and hawks came trooping like
small boys to street fight. Rabbits
sat. up in the chapparal and cooked
their ears, feeling themselves quite
safe for once as the hunt swung near
them.
Nothing happens in the deep wood
that the blue jays are not all agog
to tell, The hawk follows the badger,
the coyote the carrion crow, and from
their aerial stations the buzzards
watch each other.
Very clean and handsome, quite be-
lying his relationship in appearance,
is Clark's crow, that scavenger and
plunderer Of mountain camps. It is
permissible to call him by his common
name, Camp Robber;" he has earned

open meal-sacks, flches whole pota.

1t Is the steady-going sort Of worker
er who gets the most done in the end.
It is with men as it is with watches
the most reliable and serviceable are
the ones that are steadily at work
There Is Pennsylvania engineer who
has retired on q pension after forty
eight years of service. ~ have car
ried one watch for more than twenty
six years." he says, land it always
kept the right time" Needless to say
he has been sober, orderly man. For
forty years he has not touched drop
Of liquor. He never even smoked or
chewed. His health has always been
good The fact that this man has
been able to carry one watch so many
years is not surprising, although its
life" has been much longer than the
average timeptece. All watchmakers
say that watch partakes Of the traits
Of the one who carries it. If the owner
and never flies Off the handle, his
watch behaves itself in the most prop
er manner. If the owner is a genius,
with an erratic. excitable, uncertain
temperament, the watch cuts up all
sorts Of pranks and is too fast or too
slow, or else will not run at all. Watch
repairers look with considerable sus-
picion on men whose watches always
need regulating. The man whose watch
Is always right, "just to the tick" is
sure to be one who keeps regular hours,
does not eat or drink to excess, con-
ducts everything in methodlcal man
ner, and consequently enjoys good
health. Men who partake of wine sup
pers, eat Welsh rarebits and stand Off
their tailors are always complaining
that their watches do not keep good
time. The vacant house decays soon
est. The watch, or the man, that is
kept running regularly lasts the long
est and is Of best service while it
lasts. The stingy old miser who stops
his clock every night SO 1t won't be
wearing out while he Is asleep gains
nothing for his trouble. This old en-
gineer's watch has kept good time for
twenty-six years for the reason that
the man himself has kept his habits
correct all the time. Had he ever
gone out, just once, on a high old time
and wound up by pawning his watch
the next morning. we never should
have heard of his wonderful timepiece,
for no watch was ever known to keep
good time after being subjected to
such humiliation. The retired engi-
neer Is old in years, but young in spir-
its. He has kept himself as he kept
his watch. He enjoys the admira ton
and gratitude Of all the officials over
him, for the reason that, whatever the
run assigned to him. he made it on
time and had no worries left over. The
watch that works only by fits and
starts Is never to be trusted. Nor is
the man who does his work only In the
same way ever capable Of the highest
moral achievement possible to his sta
ton

An English-speaking nation has
grown up ON the west side of the At
lantic which has done and Is doing
more than the parent country to give
the tongue a world vogue. Two-thirds
Of the people who speak English live
In the United States. The industrial
and commercial conquests which this
country is gaining tell in favor of its
peoples tongue. A century ago
French. Spanish and German were far
ahead Of English in the number of per-
sons who used them as a vehicle of
speech. But in the lapse of time Eng
lish has passed all Of them and is
spoken by more people to-day than is
any other civilized tongue.

crashed and lightning flashed. she
has believed herself to be safe from
the forked tongues of anne emitted by
the clouds as long as she could roll up
in the intricacies of a feather bed. To
be able to crawl under feather bed
was supposed to afford immunity from
the rayages Of lightning. But at Kan
sas City the other day a thunderstorm
which swept in from the sundower
plains proceeded to knock the feather
bed theory into something that was Of
much less account than a cooked hat
At the home of Nathan HOFFMAN a bolt
Of lightning butted its way through
window and, having found Miss
Becky and Miss Anna, the daughters
Of Nathan, huddled together upon
feather bed, ripped 1t from under them
and scattered the feathers all over the
house. The young ladies were so bad
~ shocked that for several hours they
couldn't have told the difference be-
tween feather bed and an elegy, but
they have now fortunately recovered,
and in future will make no effort to es-
cape the wrath Of heaven by reposing
on or hiding under feathers. What re-
manned of the feather bed to which
they had flown for safety convinced
them that as lightning arrester the
feather bed Is wholly unworthy of con-
hdence. While 1t is unfortunate that
woman may not hereafter fee with
confidence to the feather bed when a
thunderstorm arrives in town and
opens up for business, 1t may be a
good thing after all that the theory
concerning the protective quality of
feathers has at last been exploded. If
the feather bed will not insure people
against the ravages of lightning there
can be no further excuse for its ex-
tstence, and it should be abolished.
With its passing will disappear a most
fertile breeding place for Germs, and
there will be one thing less in the
world to distress the blameless victim
of hay fever.
