Another Point Of View.

Florence Kelley, the secretary Of
the National Consumers League, has
at heart the welfare Of factory work
ers, and in her study Of factory con.
ditions has made many odd friends,
and heard many whimsical remarks,
says the Minneapolis Journal.
"We often ask,'' she said the other
day, why women dress-whether it
is to please the men, or to please the
women. There seems to be only these
two motives for the fne dressing, but
this morning third motive was point
ed out to me.
1.-TWO girls stood at cop winding
machine in spinning mill, talking
shout clothes.
The new white dress of yours,
said the first girl, will never please
the men,
"The other, tossing her head, re-
Piled
lin! I don't dress to please the
men, but to worry other women.

THE GROUND CUCKOO.
Remarkable Cunning 1t DiapInys In

Remarkable Cunning 1t Displays In
Catching Rnttlers.
One of the most interesting geological
oddities is the California ground cue
koo. He usually is from twenty to
twenty-five inches long, including his
tail, which measures one-half Of his
whole length. On account Of his small
wings he is Il poor tlier, but what he
lacks in aerial deXterity he makes up
In pedestrian velocity. With his four
yard jumps he can outrua the swiftest
race horse. His geographical range
is confined to southern California,
Mexico and some parts of Texas. AS
a bird Of prey the ground cuckoo out
wits his most avidious fellow crea-
lures Snails and large WORMS consti-
tute his principal food, which he is
busy all day in digging out of the
ground. But lie does not hesitate to
attack larger animals. 1t is no trou.
BILE for him to get the better Of small
snakes, and when domesticated he
beats any cat or dog in the extermina-
ton OF mice and small house pests.
Most. curiously interesting is the
strategic sagacity he displays in the
capture Of large rattlesnakes These
he dare not meet in fair and open
combat. AS soon as he espies rattle
snake sleeping in the sun near cac.
tus hedge he surrounds his victim with
heap Of the prickly leaves until he
is well hemmed in. He then pricks
at, the reptile few times with his
sharp bill, which causes q sudden COM
motion in the cactus heap. In his at
tempt to disentangle himself from the
leaves he wounds his tender flesh, and
it takes but an hour or two for the
average rattler to die Of sheer ex-
haustion and furnish much coveted
tidbit for the sly cuckoo. His meth
cd with his prey resembles that Of the
cat with the mouse

Why the Change Did Not Please tho

An artist was talking about the noted
German painter Adolf Won MenZel.

Everything with him was worked out

In a discussion Of Il certain impress

once heard Won Mcnzel say:
This man Markhcim sold to the
Countess y. two years ago one of his
landscapes. The countess after she had
had the landscape Il few weeks tired Of
it, and to another artist who dined
with her one night she said:
"'"I think the new picture that Herr
Marklcim sold Inc lacks animation. 1t
need: life ia it. Would you be willing
to paint for me Il man or woman on
that road that runs through the mid

why, surely, madam" said the
second painter. And he took the pic
ture home with him, made the addition
and returned it the next morning.
Later, meeting Markheini, he said
""I had the audacity to alter a
landscape of yours the other day. 1t
was the landscape you sold the Count

to oblige her painted an old peasant

'Markheim frowned.
"'"The road!' he said. "The road ?

"'"Oh, yes, there is a road," said
! the other.
"'"I can't recall It," said Markheim.
Finally, to settle the matter, they
went to the house Of the countess and
stood before the picture.

Little Whiskey In Hers.

Hudson Tuttla, the Ohio lecturer,
m ade an address recently wherein he
described the pitfalls of the lecture
platform, says the Philadelphia Re-
cord.
"a temperance lecturer wished to
prove to his audience the deadly pow

Accordingly he caused drop of
water to be magnified and thrown up.
on a magic lantern screen. Worms
bigger than pythons, crabs bigger
than elephants, spiders the size of q
ship fought together in the drop Of
water like fends in the internal re-
gions.
1.-THE lecturer now caused drop OF
whiskey to be added to the water.
Watch, friends, he said, watch
the whiskey's effect.
1.-THE effect was marvellous. The
liquor killed all those ferocious hor.

tentaoles and feelers stiffened. All

use by watching the wild bushes and
capturing those that bear the best
fruit. A bit of string, or q tag, will
mark the bush selected, until the time
comes to remove it. Blackberries are
gone for the present season, but there
arc many who may remember certain
bushes from which they obtained fine
fruit, and be able to locate them, and
mark them for the fall transplanting.
Before the new shoots begin to come
up in the summer, mulch the bushes
well with stlaw, grass or pine needles.
Stable manure makes first class fer.
tilizer for blackberries, especially Il a
little sulphate Of potash is added to it.
The objection is sometimes made to
the transplanting Of these brambles
to a garden or house lot that they
will spread all over the ground, as the
wild ones do, and, that once estab.

however, to plant the blackberries in

and their roots reach out far and
