These old horses never forget the
calls, no matter how long it has been
since they last heard them.
One day some years ago, when l
was passing an open lot in the out
skirts of Chicago, / found a boy try
ing to play ON the cornet. While the
boy and / were at work on the cornet,
an old ash hauler came along driving
an animal that had once been a good
horse, but was now only collection Of
skin and bones. The horse stopped
when he heard us and stuck up his
ears. / came to the conclusion that
he had once been a cavalry horse and
asked the old man where he got him.
"From a farmer" he said. could
not find III. s." on the horse; he had
probably been discharged so long ago
that his brand had been worn off. But
taking the cornet, sounded the stable
call, and the horse began to dance.
"Hold fast to your lines, now l
warned the old man. 81 am going to
make that old horse do some Of the
fastest running he has ever done since
he left the cavalry Then. beginning
with the call for the gallop, next
sounded the charge, and the old plug
went plunging up the road at his fast
est gait, dragging his wagon after
him. l gave him the recall next and
he came down to a walk, much to the
relief of the old driver. He said that
this was the first time he had ever seen
the horse run. He had never been
able to get him TO go faster than a slow
walk before. You don't feed him well
enough to get him to do much run
ning' l told him. THAT horse, when
he did have to run. got his twelve
pounds of corn and all the hay he could
eat every day."-Forest and Stream.

For the first two days through which
a strong and healthy man is doomed
to exist upon nothing his sufferings
are perhaps more acute than in the
remaining stages; he feels an inordl-
nate, unspeakable craving at the stom-
ach at night and day. The mind runs
upon beef, bread and other sub
stances, but still, in a great measure,
the body retains its strength. On the
third and fourth days, but especially
on the fourth, this incessent craving
gives place to a sinking and weakness
Of the stomach, accompanied by nau-
sea.
On the fifth day his cheeks appear
hollow and sunken, his body attenu-
ated, his color is ashy pale and his
eyes wild, CLASSY and cannabalistic.
The sixth day brings with 1t in.
creased suffering, although the pangs
of hunger are lost in an over-powering
languor and sickness. The head be-
comes dizzy, the ghosts of well-re-
membered dinners pass in hideous pro-
cession through the mind

creasing lassitude and further pros

Skin fruits are generally exposed FOR

the skin should be a protection to the

fruit that has not had its outside prnc-

than another which has been cut or
bruised AS soon as the skin is bro

weak point in the fruit TO cause its
destruction. Apples with the skin even
Slightly punctured cannot be kept in
cold storage more than q few months,
but those which are absolutely perfe t

indicates to us how numerous ard dah-

has been punctured and is exhibited on

THE STUDY OF BIRDS
Ways of Making Subject
Interesting to Children.
BY FRANK N. CHAPMAN.

After the nest comes the egg. AS
it is believed that the birds descended
from reptiles, and as all reptiles lay
white eggs, it is believed that all
birds originally laid only white eggs
Color has come for protection. This
Is proved by the fact that all birds
that lay in, protected places, like owls
and woodpeckers, lay white eggs;
while all that lay in exposed places
are almost exactly like their surround
ings. The terms egg in the open
beach cannot be distinguished from
the beach pebbles without close in
spection. The grebe lays white eggs
in low nest. but she never leaves
the eggs no matter how hurriedly,
without pulling the nest material over
to hide them.
Then come the young birds, and hui
man interest multiples, and the cam
era becomes of immense value. The
study of the traits Of young birds is
most fascinating. Their first instinct,
after that of hunger, is that OF abso-
lutte obedience to the parents. Young
birds feel no fear till they are old
enough TO try to escape. Before that
they will regard the intruder with per-
feet fearlessness. But at a single note
Of command from the parent they win
lie low, silent and motionless till the
danger passes Young skimmers on
the Virginia beach will let you step
upon them in this blind obedience. /
watched nest Of newly born blue
jays for an hour and three-quarters
one day in hopes the mother would
come back and sit for her picture.
Those little birds had been fed every
five minutes up to that time, and yet,
though starving, they maintained alb
solute silence all that time, in re-
sponse to the parents command. Bit
terms at seven days old have no fear
of the camera Ten days later ii
throws them into a paroxysm of
fright.
Then there is the feeding. How does
the parent raise a nest full of birds,
ell equally fat and well fed, when
every little mouth is agap every time
she comes to the nest? Amid so many
attractive openings, how shall she
know the one most in need of food?
Perhaps the little scamp fed last gets
the new worm or bug. But there is a
involuntary reaction of the muscles
which does not take place when the
bird has just been fed, and the parent, |
keeping tab on the greedy ones,
snatches out the tidbit deposited in
the wrong place and puts it where it |
will do the most good.-New York Tri-
bune.

THE FINANclERs.
Some Women's Ideas Issgarding the
Saving OF Money.


Saving OF Money.
The Linnet Club Of ladies had been
listening to a lecture in which econom-
les and sociology were subtly blended.
1T was very able" young Mrs. Tenney
said, judicially, "but l don't entirely
agree with Mr.. Hope in what he said
about women's slips5od business ways.
/ think the average woman Is as good
financier as the average man."
80 do Ig' said Mrs. Pell, emphatic
ally. Il don't spend half the money
Mr.. PelI does for shines and newspa-
pers and things"
"She is every bit as discriminating
in savings and expenditures as he is,"
continued Mrs. Tenrey. returning to
the abstract.
Besides, she doesn't smoke" sup
plemented Mrs. Pell, dropping back to
the concrete.

gan, thoughtfully, Il don't believe I've
ever saved a penny in my lire."

''Why don't you start bank ac-
count? 1t might help you," said Mrs.
Tenney, kindly.
'Yes, why don't you?" Mrs. Pell said.
"rve had one for years-long before
was married"
"Of course you have one?" Mrs.
Stedman asked Mrs. Tenney.
''Oh, yes; it is so much less bother
to pay with checks. So much more
business-like, too. you know" Mrs.
Tenney replied.
''I've always thought it might be
hard to keep straight in one's ac-
counts" said Mrs. Stedman, timidly;
''lt seemed simple to ask for money, or
have things charged. But I'm going to
have an account. What is your bank,
Mrs. Tenney?'
Mrs. Tenney reflected briefly. Il
use the same one that my husband
does" she answered, discreetly.
HAS it name-or anything| Mrs.
Stedman asked. ''I'd like to have my
money where somebody know has an
account"
"Oh, try my bank" urged Mrs. Pell.
"I've been there for years, as I said,
When was married Mr.. Pell spoke Of
his bank, but said, No; where father
kept his money is good enough for me,
and I've been going there ever since
1t is a perfectly splendid bank, with
a special room for women"
whats the name of itY" Mrs. Sted-
man asked, hopefully.
'The nameT' repeated Mrs. Pell. |
"Oh, that doesn't matter at all. Ill |
tell you where it is, and when You go
there they'll give you book Of blank
checks and do all that sort Of thing
for you. It's right between that hat
shop and Dressler's--there couldn't be
a better place for a bank, right in the
heart of everything"
'I'm sure it must be good bank"
said Mrs. Stedman, warmly. Il sim
ply adore Dressler's cafe mousse.
Thank you very much, Mrs. Pell."
