A writer describes as follows the
abode of a colony of herons near
large city in this country: ssThe her
onry of which am writing is situ-
ated In a piece of swampy woodland
not more than 200 yards from a
main Travelled road. Let one ~at-
tempt to enter the confines of this
city of birds and he will Immediate
ly be made aware of the nature of
the place. At first he will be greet
ed by a few croal1s from the outly-
ing members of the colony, the
suburbanites, as it were, and then,
as he inadvertently steps on a dry
twig that breaks with cracking re-
port, such din win suddenly arise as
viii cause him to think he has en-
tered bedlam. Birds appear by the
hundreds where before not one could
be seen. The air is full of the rustic
and rush of wings, and each bird
vies with his fellows in making the.
most noise until their combined ef-
forts produce racket that can be
ikened to nothing / know of and
that can easily be heard from quar-
ter to half mile away. The voices
of the night herons are anything but
musical.
Everywhere are pieces of half
digested and decaying fish and the
bodies of young birds that have met
an untimely end by falling from the
nests, and consequently the odor is
not what might truthfully be called
sayory. Altogether it is hardly the
place one would choose for an early
morning jaunt unless one had par
ticular object in doing so, especial
" as there is but little solid ground,
the rest being mud, water and de-
caying vegetation. And yet, despite
all these unpleasant features, it is
altogether delightful place to visit
for one who is lover of birds.
Occasionally resounding thump
coming from some part of the swamp
announces the fall of a young one
too eager to obtain its portion of
food. These falls when the herons
are fairly well grown seem to trou-
BILE them not at all, even when the
drop is fifty or sixty feet. But they
must be able to climb again into the
trees or provide for themselves upon
the ground if they would live, for
the old birds appear to be entirely
oblivious to the cries of the fallen"

At best it is only in the exercise
of a great unselfshness that the eld-
erly spinster can continue to enjoy
the sunshine of happiness. So long
as people are young there need not
be much loneliness in the single
state of either a man or a woman.
The sweets of liberty and the uncon-
scious hope of happiness to come
make up for much that is lost in the
present. 1t is when life begins to
grow gray, when old friends, through
death, through marriage or through
eNgencies of time and place have
fallen away and new friends are
more difficult to make-it is then
that both the spinster and the bach
elor will feel the inexorable ache of
loneliness. And the outlook then is
worse for the spinster than for the
bachelor Lecause it is more inexora-

An AnecdOte of TaIIeyrand.

Two friends of Talleyrand, ladies
of rank, had chosen his study as a
place of meeting. They wished to
select some ring, some bracelet, for
a gift, and the great jeweler of Paris
was to send one of his salesmen with
sufficient to choose from. OF course
the choice was soon limited to two
and there paused until Talleyrand,
sitting at the farther end of the long
library, called out: "Let me under
take to help you to make your de-
cision. Young man, of these two
trinkets tell me which you prefer" "
'This one, certainly, your excellen-
cy." 'Then," ended the experienced
cynic, "please accept it for your
sweetheart, and l think, ladies, that
you had better take the other"

HABITuAL CRIMINALS.
Al Arc supsrstitIous and Believe In
Signs and omens.


Al Are SuperstitIous and Believe ln
Signs and Omens.
Habitual criminals are very super
stitious. No pickpocket would dream
Of working uRless he had in his
pocket or somewhere about his per
son either a small piece of coal,
chalk or "luciy stone" as talisman
against misfortune, according to an
English writer. Even if the amulet
fails them and they are captured
with it In their possession they ac-
count for the fact by remembering
that they have disregarded some
other warning that was given them
earlier in the day. For instance,
should thief be riding on top of an
omnibus and the horse slip, he re-
CARDS it as a warming that he must
do no work that day. ALI habitual
criminals regard the Bible with awe.
To man almost they viii lie With
out motive, but when IN the witness
box they viii do anything to evade
kissing the book. A common mode
of getting out of the difficulty is to
kiss the thumb that is helping to
hold the Bible instead of the actual
book.
Should a pickpocket steal a purse
containing foreign money he regards
it as certain that before the year is
out he will have Travelled in strange
lands. To find gold in purse stolen
at wedding is sure sign of good
luck, while it is equally bad to
"worR at funeral By every class
of criminals funerals are regarded
as tokens of i'll luck. To meet one
while on the way to a house where
a burglary is to be carried out means
that death or imprisonment awaits
the attempt. There is an old man
named Cowper, now in an English
prison serving his twenty-eighth
term of imprisonment, who is per-
feet encyclopedia on criminals SUI
perstitions. He firmly believes that
he can never be sentenced again
after his present term has expired,
because twenty-eight has always
been a lucky number with him.
If a burglar meets sleeping dog,
he regards it as sure sign that he
will be lucky for long time. To see
a flag flying over private house is
taken as an invitation etto crack the
crib" Women who squint are i'm
mune from the attentions of the
criminal classes. No burglar would
break into house if he knew that a
maidservant who squinted was kept
there. Similarly pickpocket would
have nothing to do with the posses
sions of woman with cast in her
eye. A man in the habit of passing
counterfeit coin will never attempt
to get rid of any to a woman who
squints.

Snakes and EATING.

Snakes in menageries often fast
many months. Gases were recorded
at the Paris museum of a rattle
snake which refused food twenty
six months and a python which fast
ed twenty-nine months. But the
record belongs to a Japanese python
which arrived in Paris in Novem-
Der, 1899. 1t died IN April, 1902,
after having refused food for two
years, five months and three days.
During that time its weight had de-
creased from seventy-fve kilograms
to twenty-seyen.

An American lady went into q
French hairdresser's establishment
in Berlin to get shampoo. The
proprietor was tall, thin man, with
all the grace and suaEity. of a dane
ing master. He came forward in
haste as the door opened.
All, madame weeshes treatment

Landseer, says biographer, was
exceedingly fond of telling the fol-
lowing story of his meeting with the
king of Portugal and the latter's
unexpected greeting:
At one of the court balls Land
seer attended, when the king of
Portugal, who was also a guest, was
made aware of the presence of the
great animal painter he expressed
his desire for an introduction. Land
seer was presented accordingly, when
the king in his imperfect English

The proper bringing up of chill
dren was being vigorously and wise
ly discussed in New York woman's
club at one of its meetings, when
one of the members remarked that
women who had no children were
not competent to talk on the sub
ject, although they always seemed
to be the most willing to do so.
"Oh, of course" said another
member, eve all admit that it is a
great misfortune to be childless and
that parents who have never had
children are much to be pitied."
The snicker that followed this re-
markable statement was drowned by
roar of laughter when still an
other member remarked that she had
noticed that childlessness was hered-
itary in some families in America.

Infantry.

Some have supposed that the name
infantry was applied to foot soldiers
from the fact of the page boy or un-
der attendant in feudal times being
unmounted, while his lord rode off
to the battle. A far more likely der
ivation of the term is seen when we
remember that the infante is the of
fetal term of the heir apparent in
Spain, as the dauphin is in France.
Infantry, therefore, was originally
a particular army of foot soldiers
raised by the infante for the purpose
of rescuing his father, who had been
overpowered in one of the many
contests with the Moors in Spain.
The name finally passed from the
particular to the general use and
was adopted by other countries.

A MisappIied Word.

Everybody who has had expert
ence in carving knows that not only
are sharper knives required, but also
probably more skill and practice, to
carve duck than any other fowl.
Admiral Dewey was guest at a din
ner table where his host had that
serious task to perform. AS the ad-
miral watched the almost desperate
endeavors of the carver to disinte-
CRATE the bird he smiled mildly. His
host happened to notice it and felt
bit piqued, as he was not in the
best of temper anyway.
:.You appear to be amused at my
awkwardness, admiral" said he.
"Not at all, sir; not at ALL" was
the reply. 1 was only thinking why
the term duck was used as a word of
endearment and goose one of re-
proach."

SHAPE or THE NOSE.
Pay Attention 10 the Nasal Organ IN
Early Life.

Early Lire.
The shape Of the nose is thing
which troubles all of us more or
less at some period of our existence.
Whatever shape we have we feel that
We should have been better pleased
If it had been formed according to
some different pattern. This is on
the principle of always wanting
what we do not possess
In speaking of this or that feature
We often say that nature has given.
us this or that. The remark is cor
rect, as rule, but persons who pos
sess short nose may make mis-
take in saying it. As a matter of
fact, it can be shown that the nasal
organ might have been longer in
hundreds of cases if attention had
been paid to it earlier in life. The
ahoFtness of growth in these cases
IS due TO- some trouble with the or
ga1f s0f smell.
When a, child speaks IN a peculiar
manner, when it finds difficulty In
breathing freely through the nose,
then an examination should be
made. Some children have to all
appearances a perpetual cold, mani
tested only by "stuffness," but the
real state of the case is that they
are suffering from adenoids or some
other trouble that can easily be
remedied.
The Importance of being able to
breathe freely through the nose can
not be overestimated. One of the
greatest men in history said that the
power to take plenty of breath
through the nasal organ meant a
clear brain, clear lungs and a clear
heart. Your success in life as well
as your personal appearance may be
spoiled by an impediment which to
some people seems of little conse-
quence.
Adenoids will sometimes prevent
the growth of the nose, and the af-
f1icted person may grow up with
very stubby specimen. A small boy
afflicted with adenoids, as it was aft
erward discovered, was taken to an
expert in order to ascertain why the
child's nose did not grow. An OPP
Grafton was performed, and the med
ical man enjoined a kind of massage
of the organ several times a day
with view to increasing the size of
the nose as the child increased in
years. In order to explain to the
little one what to do, as massage"
was too big word, he said that he
must pull his nose. Every day the
father on returning in the evening
asked the seemingly strange ques-
ton, "Have you pulled your nose to-
day ?" One evening he received the
startling answer, ttNo, papa, auntie
pulled my nose for mel'-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

have known progressive young men
to stop growing, become ;hopelessly
rutty and lose all their progressive
ness by going into their fathers
stores, factories or places of busi-
ness, where everything was done in
the same old fashioned way and
precedents were followed in every
thing. They lost all expansiveness.
There was no motive for reaching
out for the new and the original,
because their fathers would not
change, and / have seen these splen-
did fellows, who might have become
great and grand men, shriyel to pyg-
mics in their fathers ruts.

ances when new devices or new

economic greatly on room and get
along with much less help! But
they cling to the old with fatal
tenacity.
This is why SO many old concerns
which have been strong and power
full for generations gradually shrink,
shrivel, get into ruts and fail, while
their newer competitors, the bright

"Children's Answers"
The following were asked by a
small boy during a two minutes
conversation:
1. Do kittens take off their fur
when they go to bed at night? 2.
Who cooked dinner when all the big
people were little boys? 3. Why
don't oysters have tails? 4 What
kind of medicine is it the chemist

Psr;wak Eeather..

On the apex of the Prince of
Wales crown, which he wears on
special occasions, is a curious feath-
er, or, rather, a tuft of periwak
feathers, the top of which is adorned
with a gold thread. This feather is
said to be worth 10000 and has
the distinction of being the only one
of its kind in the world. It took
twenty years to procure it, and it
caused the death of more than doz-
en- hunters. The reason the pursuit
of the periwak is SO dangerous is be-
cause it inhabits the jungles and
other haunts of tigers.
