BIRDS NEST ON ROOF.
Night Hawks Select Top Of Office

Night Hawks Select Top Of Office
Building for Abode.
The janitor of one of the tall Office
buildings had occasion to go out upon
the roof recently and was more than
startled by large bird which took
to flight with protesting cry from a
place beneath his feet, and he barely
escaped stepping upon two darkly
marked eggs. There was not sign
of a nest, for night hawks, roof dwell
ers that they are, lack either the art
or the inclination to provide other
than hard bed for their young.
The bird Matched it's little ones un-
molested, the janitor telling but one
person of his find, and tonight, it
may be, they will take their first fight
into a darkened world. They will
see their way well enough, for the
night hawk holds in contempt the crea-
lures needing anything brighter than
starlight to make clear the path. The
parent birds have kept up their food
bearing trips after all the world has
been asleep, no matter what the dis.
turbances down on the ground; they
have been faithful as birds are always
faithful to the parental instinct.-Co.
lumbus Dispatch.

Believed To Be "Missing Link"

Believed To Be missing Link
Prof. Van Sickle, who for some
months has been making geological
charts of the northern part Of Java,
cables the Academy Of Science in Am.
sterdam that he feels certain that he
has discovered the long-looked-for
missing link. He does not claim the
honor of the discovery himself, but
says that some weeks ago he was in.
formed by Dutch merchant, Ven
Beuren, that he had discovered a
new species of monkeys in dense
forest in which he had lost his way.
The professor started out to look
into the discovery of the merchant,
and while watching for the animals to
appear he heard peculiar, half hui
man voice. Locking up, he saw an
enormous nest and two apelike ami.
mails looking down uCon him.

Party Of castaways Kept Alive on
Peculiar Diet.
The hardest fare that six young
mel and boy Of Is ever kept alive
on was the daily menu Of the Wind
overs survivors, who were cast up
on the Irish coast near Kilsegg. They
lived for sixteen days on stewed rope
yarn, without a crumb of anything
else to help digest 1t, except water.
and though 1t made them III, they
kept alive on 1t and did not waste
away very much.
The Windover was dismantled and
abandoned about 1000 miles out on
the Atlantic. The crew took to the
whaleboat and set out for Britain. Be-
ing in too much Of hurry, they took
too little food, but three large butts
Of water. besides the tank the boat
already held. The result was that
they ate up their provisions in four
days, but had water enough for a
month, and, after starving two days
more, they tried boiling lengths OF
tarred hemp rope into q pulp and
swallowing it.
They had GEEK Of parafiin wax, and,
though 1t made them very Ill at first,
they eventually contrived to live on
the boiled hemp, the tar, boiled to a
jelly, adding to the nourishment OF
the rope.

"Has eyestrain anything to do with
the drinking habit?" asked writer in
the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Some of the men who claim to know
have declared that this increasing
habit is due, in great many In
stances, to eyestrain, and so they
reason the habit into the list OF all
ments to be treated by oculists. Come
to think of 1t, the theory is plaus-
ible one in many respects, though
doubt whether any considerable per-
centage Of drunkenness is due to eye
strain. But you take men whose cali
ings require them to use their eyes
graf deal, men, for instance, who have
to read and write nearly all the time,
and you will, as rule, find that q
large majority CT them naturally take
to the habit of drinking.
Literary men drink great deal.
Newspaper men drink. Lawyers

those who give more attention to the

clined to think so. Of course it would
not be reasonable to assume that in
al! cases of drinking among men OF
this class the habit Is due to eye
strain, because in some instances we
will find other special causes, maybe
an inherited taste, environment and
other influences that might be men
toned.
IF we take the most favorable view
of the theory, allowing all that Is
claimed for 1t by those who advance
and advocate it, we will yet find that
ether causes and excuses must be
found for the vast majority Of cases
of drunkenness. Still these theories
are all interesting, ard we do not lose
anything by considering them. We
must not permit them, however, to
lead us to wrong conclusions, nor
must we accept as altogether true
that drinking Is a necessary thing
when we overstrain our eyes"

why is It that the tenderest feet must
tread the toughest road?
why IS It that the weakest back must
carry the heaviest load?
While the feet that are surest and hrm-
est have the smoothest path to 60,
And the back that Is straightest ana
strongest has never a burden to
know.
WHY is It that the brightest eyes are the
ol,es coon dim with tears?
Why Is it that the highest heart must
ache and ache for years?
While the eyes that are hardest and cold
est shed never bitter tear.
And tie heart that Is smallest and mean
est has ne> er an ache to fear.
why is It those who are saddest have
always the gayest laugh?
why is II those who need not have al
ways the biggest half?
While those who have never sorrow
have seldom a smile to give,
And those who want just a little must
strive and struggle to live.
WHY is It that the noblest thoughts are
the ones that are never expressed!
Why is 1t that the grandest deeds are the
ones that are never confessed!
