INCUBATOR ON DESERT.
Birds in Vast Wastes Cool Their Eggs Instead of Giving Them
 Warmth.

Many a person who has watched . mother robin nestling patiently on her eggs in a blossoming apple tree has wondered how the little creature or her ancestors ever learned that the long process would cause the eggs to hatch. A greater puzzle is set for them, says the author of "The Land of Little Rain, !" in the great desert, where the same birds have learned to cool their eggs instead of warming them. In the unsheltered nests of the sandy plains it becomes nec- essary to keep the eggs from cooking. One hot, stifling spring in the Little An telope, a traveller had occasion to pass and repass the nest of pair of meadow larks located unhappily in the shade of a very slender weed. The birds were never sitting except at night, but at midday they stood or dropped above the nest, half fainting, with pitifully parted bills, spreading their wings between the sun and the eggs. Sometimes both of them together, with wings spread and half lifted, maintained spot of shade in a terrific temperature. Their patience was in this case rewarded, for the com- passionate traveller at last spared them a bit of canvas, which she mounted over the nest as a permanent shelter.

JAP COMPANY FOR ARMY.
Majority of Sandwich Islanders Hail from Far East-Are Organizing
 Militia Command.

It may not be generally known that the United States army of the future will include command of Japanese soldiers, but this is fact, claims the New York. Herald. They will not come from the armies which are lighting in the far east, but will be enrolled from our Japanese citizens in the Sandwich islands. It is needless to say that a very large portion of the population of the islands, and especially of Honolulu, is composed of this nation. They are found among the bankers, merchants and professional men, and are included among the wealthiest residents of the city. One of the principal schools of Honolulu is attended exclusively by Japanese children, and here has been enrolled a command of cadets which is to be mustered into the United States militia as soon as it's members are old enough. It is drilled by former Japan ese army officer and although organ ized but few years ago, this battalion has already attained a high standard of efficiency It is frequently seen on parade in Honolulu and attracts much attention.

NEEDALL-RoUND EDUCATION
Desire for Physical Development Comes to Parents Slowly-The
 Views of Ono Mother.

It is . curious fact that the desire for physical development for their children comes to many parents more slowly than that for intellectual development, says Youths Companion. It is pretty we'll acknowledged now by everybody-from the illiterate immigrant to the 'poor white"-that "book-learning" is good thing for. the children. But the schools in England meet the same opposition as those in America when they try to put the development of muscle on the same basis as that of memory. Many school principal has listened to protests sub stantially like that of the good woman who carried her views of education to the grammar school-teacher: '.'I want ye to teach me girl readin' writin', and 'rithmetic," said she, "but she ain't t larn amy more of this physical torture. If it's jumpin' she needs, c'n teach her jumpin' meself!
 Presently we shall make good our re- turn to the Greek system, which in cluded music and gymnastics as essen- tials to education, and so produced a wonderfully balanced creature-wfth body, mind and spirit in such due pro- portion that no one could overtop the other. The professional athlete, the puny scholar and the religious fecluse are each the result of the separation of one department of education from the others. The symmetrical man is the re- suit of the well-considered union of all the departments.

Scores of rats were left half dead, and lay writhing, while the well-dressed sight seers shrieked with excitement. H. V. Barnett, an Englishman, who was pres ent, ventured to protest against the cru city of the affair, and was promptly turned out by the police.

HORSE FALLS IN cIsTERN.
Then Battles with a Water Moccasin for Life-Rescued by
 Bremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales, of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The. animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water
 When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived large water moccasin about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times.
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile
 and for a few moments the firemen hesi- tated about going down in the we'll. Vol unteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest
 climbed down on ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and g veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the com bined effects of the fall and the snake bites, it will recover.

cozY HOME FOR TRAMPs.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans . Comfortable Refuge for
 the Aged.

Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America, who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, at the expense of a western rail- road magnate, as result of wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months, is to build home for aged tramps. Hans recent ly received $25,0 900 by the will of rel ative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in 8 New York bank.
 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor- cester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and, while talking about Hans project, said: f
 "It sounds like the dream of a crazy man, but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. I asked him why he didn't take his money.and settle down and he said 1t is much more fun to be tramp.
 ''He. said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is home to live in when he gets too old to catch freights. so long as he had to build himselfe home, he declared that he might as well build one large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew 5000 tramps on the road in the United States. Some of these friends of his, he ex- plained, are getting old and stiff and cannot tramD much 1Onpor
 "He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by little work, such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running ex- penses. When I asked him how soon he is going to build this home he said that he is looking for suitable place, and that as soon as he finds one he will take his money out of the bank and build"

ExToLs MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Gen. sickles Declares War Was Or
 dained by God and We Will Always Have It.

The cornerstone of monument to be erected in Salem Fields cemetery, Cypress Hills, L. l., in honor of Jews who lost their lives in defense of the union was laid recently. Nathan Straus, chairman of the auxiliary committee of the Hebrew Union Veteran association, presided. In the course of his remarks MT. Straus referred to "A time when war will be reckoned. a survival of bar barism." This brought protest from Maj. Gen. Daniel B. Sickles, retired. who lost leg at Gettysburg.
 Although we are assembled in a cemetery" said Gen. Sickles, "this is not funeral occasion. No death is more glorious than death for ones country I know many think that wars are dreadful, but we have had our wars since the world began, and we shall always have wars. In the provi- dence of God war was ordained, and the human race will always fight for what it loves. This nation was found- ed through war. Would George III. have agreed to arbitration to let us found an independent government? No. We have liberty because our fathers fought seven years for independence, and we will always have to fight to maintain our freedom.
 "I hope the time will never come when we shall cease to be a martial people, or be unwilling to take up arms in defense of our country In the day we are unwilling to fight for our lib- critics we shall surely lose the respect of the world"

FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
Flames in Room of Dumb and Par alyzed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring, a dumb and par alyzed old man living with his son-in- law, E. Moss, in London, was so over come with fright when a fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is 71 years old, was a robust man, and up to short time ago was enjoying good health, even work ing at small blacksmith's forge. One day he suffered stroke of paralysis. which also left him speeches..
 The other evening two men rushed in shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his father-in-law Moss saw that the window curtains were ablaze and the woodwork was alight The wind had blown open the window and this had knocked over a lamp, causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the bed helpless, unable to stir hand or foot or raise cry of alarm. The agonized look on his face showed, however, that he realized the terrible nature of his
 
 before they had made much progress, and the patient escaped unhurt
 Shortly after the family were sur prised to hear the voice of the par alyzed father, He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent. The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice, and was able easily to converse with the family. .'
 The restoration of the lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on the outbreak of the fire.
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains, MT. Herring's health has inn proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to a hospital, where 1t is the opinion that he may live . long time.

ODD WILL OF RICH MAN.
Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from
 Uncle After Serving Three Years as Soldier.

"That he shall serve at least one full term of not less than three years in the ranks of the United States army, at the expiration of which, if his dis charge shall read: Service honest and faithful, character excellent and shall have reached the grade of a noncommis- stoned officer and bring to the executors herewith appoint a letter of com- mendation from the officer under whom he served bequeath to the said George o. Travis the sum of $130, ,000 knowing that, after such service, he will have had enough experience of the world and disciplinary training to insure the proper disposal of what has taken me a lifetime to accumulate"
 Such are the terms of the will of the late s. Houston, wealthy man of Chi cago, made to his nephew, George O. Travis, a telegraph operator of Okla hoEa. The other day the young man 'became of age and appeared at the Unit ed States army recruiting office and en- listed for the purpose of carrying out the dying request of his uncle. MT. Houston was an old soldier, hav- ing served in the civil war in the Fourth United States artillery. Unable to con- tinue an army career, Houston, having no sons of his own, was determined that his next of kin, his nephew, should be- come a soldier.
 Young Travis said it was not neces- sary for his uncle to make that clause in his will which makes service in the United States army compulsory for him, as he had always intended to enter the army as soon as he was 21.
