Sunshine,

If we only knew how some poor soul would find happiness in what we care lessly throw away! When l was in the newspaper office and saw all those bright pictures that would brighten the hours for those I knew in a min ing towA so ruthlessly destroyed 1 told our exchange editor that 1t hurt my heart to see him put them into the waste paper barrel, when those poor miners I knew of living down in the dark all day and only occasionally coming to the light would seize upon them with such delight. For l remem bered my joy when a little girl in that same town in the mountains 1 saw for the first time the beautiful picture on a can of tomatoes that had been sent to the camp and my agony of despair when some one who opened 1t ruthlessly cast the empty can down the miners slide. didn't stop to crawl, but rolled all the way down the dump, captured the can, and with trembling fingers tore off the precious picture and ran home with 1t clasped to my bosom. What cared if it was only off an old tomato can? It was red, it was lovely. it was bright-the only bright thing in the camp.-Pil- grim.

Tine Chinese Hotel Rag.

A book on China contains; the follow
 ing account of a .mandarfnis toilet: "A Chinamah always sleeps with his clothes on--tAat is. he removes the outer garments, and, having undone the waistband. anklets, collar and so on, retires to rest in his linen. The first thing on getting up is to clean his teeth, which is usually a long and noisy op- eration.t Tn order to do this he takes a large mug q silver tongue scraper, brush and often bit of willow twig and goes out into the courtyard to com plete this part of his toilet. One of the handmaids' has already filled the copper basin with warm water and brought the rag Often and often have enjoyed the luxury of the shotel rag at Chinese inns This rag is a purely Chinese institution and consists of an old dishelotll dipped in boiling water The mandarin fubs his head, face, neck and hands with tie family rag, ties his drawers at the ankles, hitches himself up generally, puts on g pair of silk leggings and long robe, and his undress toilet is complete"

DESERT scAvENGERs.
Each one Keeps a ConsNnt shaRy
 Eye on thc Othck.

Eye on thc Othck.
 It is probable that one never fully credits the interdepenGence of wild creatures and their cogniZance of the affairs of their kind and other kinds. Mrs. Mary Austin, in "The Land of Little Rain," says that the scavengers of the desert all keep an eye on one another.
 Never coyote comes out of his lair to hunt, in the country of the carrion crows, but looks up first to see where the crows gre gathering. It is a suf- ficient occupation for d windy morn ing on tie listless, level mesa to watch the pair of tEell eying each otl.er fur lively. with d tolera3le assumption of u!,concerll. but no doubt with a cer- tain amount of good understanding.
 Wien tie i've coyotes that range the lyon from Pasteria to Tunavai planned relay race to bring down an antelope str:ye from the band, an eagle swung dow Il from Mount Pinos. buZZards materialiZed out of invisible ether and hawks came trooping like small boys to a street fight. Rabbits sat up in the chaparral and cooked their ears, feeling themselves quite safe for once ns the Eunt swung near them. -s --. -, t Nothing happens in the deep wood that tLeS bluej"ys are not all agog to tell. The hawk follows the badger, the coyote the carrion crow, and from their aerial stations the buzzards watch each other
 Very clean and handsome, quite be- lying his relationship in appearance, is Clark's crow, that scavenger and plum derer of mountain camps. 1t Is per missible to call him by his common name, camp robber." He has earned it. Not content with refuse, he picks open meal sacks, filches whole pota- holes in packing cases and is daunted by nothing short of tin.
 All the while he does not neglect to vituperate the chipmunks and spar rows that whisk off crumbs of comfort from under the campers feet
 The camp robbers gray coat, black and white barrel wings and slender bill, with certain tricks of perching, accuse him of attempts to pass himself off as woodpecker, but his behavior is all crow. He frequents the higher pine belts and has a noisy strident call like a jays; and how clean he and the frisk tailed chipmunks keep the camp! No crumb or pairing or bit of eggshell goes amiss. ...z.
 The cunninecst hunter Is hunted in turn, and what he leaves of his kill is meat for some otEer.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The Stately shaft Causes #hes H1M@&m' of ThousRmds of n1Nds.f
 1houslr eTsfg olIe in Washineton 1s acdua i1,fed with fhe molihment by sight sl< least, few are awnfe that 1he stately Shaft causes the death of tElou- F'sandA of birds, every fall as they nii grate southward for the winters The birds fly by night against the shaft in great numbers and are killed or stunned, when they drop to the ground, where they are found always on the north side of the Structure. In order to realize the mortality thus caused among the -feathered tribe it may be stated that one man in. this city se- cured over 400 dead birds in one night. AS the birds thus secured in- clude "a number of wild ducks and other game birds it is ot-unusual for persons to stay around the monument all night during the migrating season. Tn addition to these food seekers there are the orhftlfologists from the Smith sonfan institution who come to secure specimens. And then there are the cats, which gather in considerable; numbers, whose, nocturnal sight and quick movements enable them to seize bird almost the instant 1t falls to the ground and make off with their prey.
 "Fhe variety in species of the birds that are found around the monument
 hors de combat is. surprising ob- served man who has on several Occa-i siOns waited around the. monument of nights in order to secure specimens for. purposes of taxidermy. ''There is. for instance, the beautiful bluebird, whose color is as delicate as that of a flower, with which most persons in this city are totally unacquainted. This bird. with others of fine plumage which are to be found in our vicinity. is timorous and retiring, while the ubiquitous sparrow. the yellow breasted warbler and the catDird are prominently seen. A considera ble proportion of the mon17 ment's victims arc swallows, these birds flying close togetEer. A large number, too, are birds of passage merely flying through Washington from far removed localities on theil: way south. The birds seem to be at- tracted in some strange way by tLe ghostly looking shaft. Perhaps they imagine 1t is an opening instead of a barrier, or 1t may be that arEthing lighter than the surrounding night at mosphe.e. tefnpts tl:em. All down the river tile lighthouses offer deadly ob- stacles, or, rather, attra ctions. to the migrating birds, many thousands of which are dcstroyeI every season in this Washington Post
