Bird Day.

This is Bird Day in the public schools
of the state. The idea of having the
school teachers first learn something
about birds, and then tell their scholars
Of it. originated with Prof. Babcock of
Oil City. and it is good idea
a writer in the Sunday Gazette,
blames the boy with gun. the woman
with hat and the statesman with a
bounty, for destroying many useful birds
and also says that the disappearance
Of owls has brought rs plague of field
mice
The United States Department of Ae-
riculture and the researches of individ-
ual ornithologists are fast demonstrate
ing to legislators and farmers what mis-
takes they have made in this bounty
business. and relief along this line is i'm
minent
The matter, in its complete aspect,
shows the Importance of little
links in the chain of life. The
woman who argues with a fruiter-
er over the outrageous price de-
nanded for some table dainty, and who
is told that the crop was short does not
realize that it was eaten up by insects
because she and other women are wear
ing on their hats the birds that would
have eaten up the insects. The fact is
that bros are the most expensive orna-
ments ever put on millinery. They
cost the farmers of our land millions of
dollars, and the woman who goes to
market must pay back these millions to
the farmer. We need no ininitesimal
calculus here to trace the relation be-
tween cause and effect. 1t is not fan
tastic and far-fetched illustration like
Darwin's old maids and red clover.
The humming bird eats its own weight
in insects daily, the robin eats ] times
its own weight; there is not one of the
birds that does not do a heroic day
labor, to say nothing of the estketic
pleasure they afford us by the beauty of
their song and plunage Slaughter the
birds, and the plaques Of Egypt will be
as nothing compared to the armies of
caterpillars, clouds Of locusts, and myr-
lads Of nozious insects of all sorts that
will deyour our land.
Perhaps Bird Day will spread abroad
some Of that wisdom which has made
the owner of vineyard near Pittsburgh
wealthy man, though ours is not ia
nous wineproducing region. He was
asked the secret Of his successfully his
neighboring vineyards were bare and
empty. In moment Of confidence he
gave away his secret: There's none O
my men dast even say shoe TO bird. "

a Short Lesson in Cookery.

When one is awakened at night by
what is called the nightmare" ie,
awaking just in time TO escape being
impaled on the horns Of mad bull
falling off wall, or other calamity, he
sometimes remembers of eating some
thing that did not taste right. and if
subject to what is called dyspepsia, he
may investigate the matter ana seek a
cause.
AS rule we believe that everything
that nature has made for food il perfect
in itself, though it may require cooking.
bnt some of the mixtures the cooks
make are liable to be erroneous.
For instance n mixture of sour milk
and soda, used in the making of Il batter
for cakes or corn bread, and baked i'm
mediately, Is liable to make trouble
Sour milk is, in part, an acid; while
soda is an alkali; the two are antag
onistic and create fermentation, which,
if allowed to complete itself may do no
harm. But, that fermentation is arrest
ed by the baking; then, after eating,
the acids of the stomach start it up
again, and the victim is in distress,
without knowing the reason though
he may know that drink Of liquor
will arrest that fermentation, and thus
stop that pain, and he may go 10 the
bar
IL would not be bad idea for our
high schools TO drop the courses in
Greek and Latin, and adopt in their
stead a course in everyday chemistry.

ARTISTIC SLIP COVERS.
Modern improvements in the Dress O,

Modern Improvements in the Dress O,
Furniture in Summer.
New York sun: The ordinary gray or
cream-colored slip covers for furniture
have been superseded in the homes Of
those who know the latest and best
fashions in house furnishings by attrac-
tive chintzes, nnen t~affetas, and tickings
and cretonne. The usual spring clean
ings has heretofore brought out an array
of somber toned coverings that in some
cases was retained far into the winter. and
even in q few instances only put aside
for occasions Of formal entertaining. Now,
with the rapid advance In making the in
terror of the house beautiful, even the de-
tails of summer furniture coverings are
not overlooked.
The old-style hollands, when adopted
merely as a protection from dust In a
closed house, answered very well, but
many homes make only a pretense of a
summer closing, part of the family re-
naming and making use of the rooms.
Under these conditions q little thought and
expense should bring into the changes
necessary for the season not only the COM
fort that is imperative, but an artistic ele-
ment as well. A new material that gives
a crisp appearance to the furniture when
made UP into slips is a French liner en-
broidercd with tiny dots. This comes in
JO-inch goods at 81 a yard. and its range
Of colors-blue, red, green. heiiotrope and
~brown-adapts 1t to any color scheme that
has ben attempted for the winter months.
Cretonne has for a long time been used
for bed room furniture coverings, but only
lately has 1t been adopted in other rooms.
A daring use Of n big Powered pattern
made up WITH red binding made a sum-
mer parlor 80 distinctive that the idea is
worth repeating. Some OF the art tickings
nave particularly pleasing designs, small
and well defined, that make them serv-
iceable for certain pieces of furniture.
In the linen taffetas a hitherto unex-
plored field is now opened for the lovers OF
the beautiful in connection with the sum-
mer coverings or slips. The light brown
or natural linen colored groundwork Is
more durable for this purpose than the
white, and the all-over patterns are the
most economical. Roses tied with ribbon
knots, garlands of flowers with stripes OF
contrasting colors and conventional de-
signs are some OF the styles that are pretty
for slim covers

What a Knock-O Out Blow Does

The Glover RuroIar

London News: The plain and simple
means Of getting round the finger
mark experts of Scotland Yard has at
last commended itself to the burglar
mind. In evidence given in a case at
Windsor on Saturday 1t was made plain
That he CraCksmcn who made a haul
or JeWelry at Lady Mary Currie's some
months ago had worn gloves all through
the operation. The panels and panes
Of glass examined through the official
microscope showed no tell tale traces
OF the presence Of any we'll known
practitioner, but merely Il number OF
blurred marks. So another detail is
added to the already large outfit of the
modern burglar, who will now carry his
gloves along with his list slippers, his
keys, his drills, his saws, his centerbit,
his ~GlaSsCutter, his wrench, his dyna-
mite. his lantern, his revolver and so
forth. 1t is a business that calls for
some capital.

TEAL DUCK is NOT FLESH.
Why 1t Is Eaten in Lenten Season and
Mallard Is Not.

Mallard Is Net.
New Orleans Times-Denocrat: Did
you ever know that a teal duck is not
flesh" inquired one OF a party OF gen
tlemen who were discussing the high
price OF fish since the Lenten season set
in. It's a fact. The teal duck is not
flesh, even If 1t is a fowl. 1t Is the
same as a winged and feathered fish,
and any good Catholic can safely eat
ore for fish during the Lenten season
or on any Friday. 1 did not know this
was a fact until a few days ago, when
l happened to be n guest at n luncheon
whereat sat one of the great dignitaries
Of the Catholic church. 1t was on a
Friday and l was astounded when a
teal duck was served at every plate.
But l knew hat there were good Catho-
lies there and that one OF the arms OF
the church government in fact sat at
the same table and had 81 duck before
him, so l said nothing just at that
time.
After the luncheon / thought over
the matter n puzzled my mind to
know why a teal duck could be eaten
on Friday when n maliard would be
under the ban Of the church. For that
ItdSOl L dShtu II SOOl lIltllu Ol lllIle
who is n pastor in Ole of the churches.
He gave me the explanation. He in
formed me that a teal duck was not
flesh any more than a trout or a min
now. The teal Is the same as a turtle
or an egg, neither flesh nor fish. And
there is good reason for this, too, when
you come to analyZe the peculiar habits
and tastes of the teal. The little duck
will not feed on anything but fish, or
little things Of hat sort hat live i'm
water. That accounts for the teal hav-
ing such a strong fish taste. He lives
on minnows and small fish altogether.
On the other hand the mallard eats
grain, such as wild rice, corn, wild
grasses or the seeds thereof, besides
feeding, as does the teal, on minnows
and small fish. But simply by the
mixing Of diet the mallard is under the
ban so far as adjoining the Friday din

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of the Stomach Is Generally
Called Notwithstanding to
Produce Artificial Digestion
Is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and q Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach tho
Seat of the Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh.

Z X. Z. s. Senator NJ. G.. Butler from
L South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In q re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, ID. c., says:
al a recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for a short
period and ! feel very much relieved.
III Is indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. "---M. c. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. Ii cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This Is vastly better
and safer than resorting TO artificial
methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases Of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because il cures catarrh
wherever located. II catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply n remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because IL is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
