Birds Fly Fast

William W. Murphy, locomotive
engineer on the Burlington's fast ex-
press between Hannibal and St. JOS
eph, No, has been making observa-
tions on the speed Of various birds
and insects. Many birds, he says,
make a practice of flying beside or in
front of his engine, and when the
weather is clear and there is no wind
he opens the throttle and races with
them.
BE finds that a chicken hawk and
crow can make twenty-five miles an
hour. \ turkey buzzard flies at the
rate of twenty-one miles an hour.
The pigeon is one Of the fastest birds
in the United States. 1t makes a
speed Of torty-si1 miles an hour with
ease. When chased by an eagle 1t
can beat the Burlingtons ST. Louis
express.
The wild duck is travelling at the
rate Of forty four miles an hour while
the hunter is pumping the contents Of
a repeating gun at it, The blackbird,
robin, dove and other small birds
travel at a speed of thirty.eigh: miles
an hour. The huming bird can, and
does, excel speed Of mile per min
ute. Murphy says that honey bee,
the other day, few in and out of his
cab window while he was going at the
rate of sixty-three mile, an hour.
The performance lasted while the en-
CINE travelled half mile.

Too obIiging.

An actor on train left his grips
in the seat and went forward to the
diner. When he returned to his COM
partment and glanced around for his
belongings he found that they had
disappeared. He looked searchingly
into the faces of his fellow passengers
for information, but discovered moth
ing but a peculiar smile. The only
man in the car besides the comedian
who wasn't smiling was a kind-faced
little man who was manifestly i'll at
ease. Presently this little man, in
reply to stern look Of mute inquiry,
pleaded apologetically, 81 am really
very sorry, but when you didn't re-
turn to your seat at that last station
l supposed you had been left behind,
so to save you trouble and anxiety, l
threw your baggage out Of the win
dow as we were leaving the station. "

What Became Of n.

This story is told Of a Washington
school principal who was trying TO

The NEXT Sunday, in accordance
with his plan, the teacher interro-
gated bis class on the subject Of the
buttons.

Timed the Burial.

In country districts 1t ls frequently
necessary, and nearly always e'om,
for people who are called TO mourn
their dead to borrow mourning appa-
rel from their nelghbors, the facilities
for buying and making up being far
from good. One OF the Kentucky rep
resentatives IN speaking Of this cus-
tom said
1T il practiced by rich and poor
alike, aud nelghbors are always glad

where the man who had lost his wife
had to borrow, and the neighbor even
loaned his watch, an article which the
man had never had any experience in
using. During the funeral service he
would pull the time-piecs out Of his
pocket, look at it, and then snap II

Trusts and Prices.

The campaign bookmakers labored
long and hard and demonstrated to
6nish-it you accept their figures as
gospel truth-thst there are no real
trusts, that trusts have not put prices
up, and that, in fact. prices have not
gone mp They show, for example,
what weak, puny little affair our
blllion-dollsr steel trust is-produciug
but little more than one.half of our
steel output They say that "it is
obvious that company producing
only one-half Of any given article en-.
tering given market could not main.
tain excessively high prices" The
misrepresentation in these statements
lies in the fact that as to many OF the
finished products of steel the trust
has an almost absolute monopoly and
can and does charge exorbitsnt prices,
as is demonstrated by its export prices
Of these same goods. In tin plates,
barbed wire, wire nails, and many
other articles, the trust has virtual
monopoly OF our markets and charges
u from 80 TO 100 per cent. more than
il charges foreigners for these goods.
In nearly all other of its products,
such as steel rails, billet plates, struct-
ural work, etc, in which it produces
only half Of the countrys output, 1t
has "gentlemeus agreements with
other manufacturers, which enable II,
as well as other manufacturers, TO get
the full benefit Of the high tariff du.
ties on these goods. In this way 1t
gets SOS a ton Tor steel rails sold IN
this country, while selling them
abroad for Sis and $40 1t gets $32
tor plates here which 1t sells in En-.
gland at SIS.
1t ua pity that these little correc.
tions could not have been obtained IN
time for insertion in their campaign
book; for, surely, the Republicans
would not knowingly and wilmlly
mislead the dear people.

The Nervous Woman q.

1t has been said that one in every
three women is afflicted with nervous
ness in some form and physicians u.s.
ually have long Gst of women pa
tients who are suffering from nervous
break down. An explanation and a
cure are given by physician quoted
as follows in the Indianapolis News;
"When women patients come to me
with incipient nervous troubles evil
denced by their symptoms l always
prescribe a change in their habits. If
they are of the busy, hustling sort in
society or in their domestic affairs l
prescribe the rest cure.
lone rule which always seems to
the nervous woman a dreadful waste
of time is to spend one day every one
or two weeks in bed. This is a mild
form Of sleep cure. A patient whose
nerves are tired may keep up the end
less routine of worry, depressing
thought, and looking forward to ills
that may never occur in her waking
moments, but in a darkensd room,
with sounds and visitors and letters
and newspapers barred, she will drop
asleep and will be amazed, and per-
haps shocked to find that it is quite
possible for her to sleep for eight
hours-with occasional wakingS for a
cup of milk or bouillon.
occasionally we find persons who
advance the theory that people sleep
too much, and that it is possible to
do with three or four hours' sleep in
twenty-four. It's true people can keep
this up for some time, but even though
they begin with thoroughly sound
nerves and good physical condition,
it can only last for certain time.
MANY Of the women who make
Lenten retreats take the rest cure in
the weeks during which they are in.
side convent walls. The way of life
is changed, the hours for rising and
going to bed are different. Even the
meals are an entire change of pro-
gram. This is all restful. Routine
is the evil that nourishes and encour-
ages nerve troubles.
women are especially susceptible
to the habit Of living in an accustomed
rut-every day Of the year the same.
They frequently boast that they al
ways get up at the same hour and
get to bed at the same time. They
even eat the same dishes on certain
days, wear the same colors and travel
over the same roads.
This is the sort of thing that fills
our sanitariums and ssylums. The
average person eats too much and
sleeps too little. Women are the
worst offenders. A great many Of
them seem to mistake hysterical ner-
vousness that almost approaches in
sanity for vivacity. 1t has become
the fashion to be extremely lively.
A quiet woman has no show, and this
is what causes so many women to run
to drugs and stimulants a, spur.
