Mrs. Kingsley then went to the door
of the bedroom where her baby lay,

over to the merry-makers, and the

1t has been said that when Mrs.
Kingsley laid her baby down the first

after he had sufficiently enjoyed the

a young man, dressed in a summer

The young man stood still, for a mo-

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
A High Standard of Devotion to Duty
Is Maintained.


One clerk was busy throwing mail In

when suddenly, without an instant's

track and I.aszd a terrific crash. When
he regalned consciousness the wrect'

Ing not less than half a ton. How the
mail clerk escaped unhurt will always
be mystery, says the Worlds Work.
There is probably no department OF
the government service in which a
higher standard of devotion to duty Is
maintained than in this During a
heavy freshet on the SusQuehanna Riv-
er, in 1890, all bridges were swept
away and the railroad tracks along the
banks practically destroyed. Four mail
clerks remained in their car until the
water rising and flowing through the
doors compelled them to take to an i'm
provised raft which consisted of pieces
Of floating sidewalks and other debris
Of the inundatlon, dashed together. On
this frail craft they put their pouches,
and carefully propelling by poles along
with the current, gained the postoff1ce
a mile away. They found this aban-
doned, with eight feet of water In the
street at that point They were almost
exhausted and their condition was pre-
carious. Finally, however, they were
rescued by boats and taken into
houses through the second-story win
dows. The letter mail was all intact
and in fairly good condition.

Do not condemn the teacher with

to even the worst criminal. There ara
usually two sides to story.
Do not send a scathing note to tbs

of triumph Is not soothing, and the
teacher Is only human.
Do not make unfavorable comment
Upon the methods of the teacher in

Canning Hints.


Equal parts of currant juice and SUI
gar gives a delicious flavor to canned
black raspberrles.
The gummed flaps Of unused en-
velopes furnish handy strips to mark
jelly. jam, etc, plainly.
Don't risk spelling a can of choice
fruit for the cost of a new rubber band
for the top of the fruit jar.
II in canning fruit old rubbers must
be used on the jars, try using two at
a time to keep the contents of the jar
alright
Should the jelly threaten to boil over
while cooking blow hard on the foam
ing liquid and it win at once subside.
To prevent jam sticking to the kettle
when cooking, pour few drops OF
olive oil in the kettle and rub it over
the bottom with bit of clean tissue
paper.
In cooking gooseberries piece OF
baking soda the size of a pea, used
with quart of the tart fruit, will
materially reduce the amount Of sugar
required to sweeten.

SOME OF THE
EXTINCT BIRDS
IN SAMOA IS FOUND THE NEAR
EST LIVING RELATIVE OF THE
DODO-THE DIDUNCULUs.

Perhaps the best known Of the many
extinct species Of birds, -.-cOrdlng to
Andrew Wilson, Is the great aux. Its
eggs bring marvellous prices. It's re-
mains have been discovered I'm Dem
mark in Scotland and in the north and
south Of Ireland. Newfoundland haN
also yielded traces Of the bird. The
last two living auks were captured off
Iceland in 1874. Prior captures are
chronicled in Scotland and elsewhere
between 1912 and 1894, while an instance
Is also recorded Of catch at st. Kilda
in 1910. Another of the best known Of
the vanished birds is the .doIO. This
bird, which If alive would probably be
classified with the pigeon tribes was
an inhabtant Of auritius. The dod0
itself was a big clumsy bird, present.
ing the appearance of much over
grown turkey. PICTURES Of II eX st,
while actual specimens are preserved
I'm the British museum and at Cam
bridge. The first mention of the bird
dates from 1898. 1t received from the
Dutchmen the opprobrious designation
of the 'walghvogel," or "nauseous
bird" an alluslon to the fact that its

Wilson, is found the didunculus, the
nearest living relative OF the dodo.

For reasons of safety II would appear
that this bird has changed its habits
and now takes to trees instead Of
spending its life on the ground. The
