Strong Eird-Siqht<

Birds have very acute vision, per-
haps the most acute of any creature,
and the ems is also more widely diff
fused over the retina than is the case
with man. Consequently a bird can
see sideways. A bird sees a hawk
long before it is visible to man. So.
too, fowls and pigeons find minute
scraps of food, distinguishing them
from what appear to us similar pieces
of earth or gravel. Young chickens
are also able to find their own food,
knowing its position and how distant
it is as soon as they are Matched,
whereas a child only very gradually
learns either to see or to understand
the distance of objects. Several birds,
apparently the young of all those that
nest on the ground, can see quite well
as soon Is they come out of the shell,
but the young birds that nest in trees
or on rocks are born blind and have
to be fed.

DANGER in Health Fads

and in time make themselves as SEN
sitive as hot house plants.
There are, of course, certain general
rules of health which every n should
understand and comply with If they
wish to avoid illness, such as the dam
ger of breathing impure air in unven-
tilated rooms, of drinking impure wa
ter, contracting chills, eating n
drinking too much, and so forth.
This knowledge, however, need not
turn the care of the health into q
bugbear. We can make a fad" OF
our health as of any other useful
thing. We can grow monomaniacal on
the value of fresh air OF wooden I'M
d~erclothing, and the mischief OF u
mania is not the harm we do our
selves as much as the damage we do
others in turning them against the OBJ
ject of our fad.
Take the wearing of wool, for IN
stance. Have not many people been
resolutely set against it by those fad
dists who persist in wearing their
flannel shirts ostentatiously and who
maintain that their hygienic value
is destroyed if their h~ideousness is
softened by wearing linen collars n
cuffs with them?-Queen-

Middlinp
A New Liquor Bill.

A new liquor bill, applying to the
State in general, and amending the
| Watts act was introduced In the
| Senate by Mr.. Fleming, Of Pitt Co,
| It is a substitute to the Ward bill which
| also is a substitute to the Long, of Ire:
| dell, and former Ward bills. There's
| n strong point of difference between
the pending Ward bill and the su5sti-
tute proposed by Mr.. Fleming, and
that is that the latter absolutely Omits
| the provision that distilleries shall not
be licensed in any town having less
than 1900 inhabitants.
An amendment was offered to the
Ward bill changing the words 1,500 in
habitants to LOO inhabitants, limiting
the number of people in towns already
under the act to manufacture Whiskey.
The amendment was accepted by Mr..
Ward. The Fleming substitute pro-
vides that in every town where the
manufacture or sale of liquor is per
mitted a town or city government must
be maintained as provided in its char
ter. At least one policeman must be
employed regularly at a salary of not
less than $25 per month. He must be
a man of good moral character, who
is not employed by any manufacturer
OF seller of liquor, nor in any way in
terested in the manufacture Or sale OF
liquor, mol related by BLOOD or marriage
to any such manufacturer or seller. It
shall b the duty of this policeman, Or
the chief of police,in the even there
is more than one policeman in the
town, to visit the place where liquor
is manufactured or sold at least every
day and make a careful and thorough
inspection and examination with aview
to observing whether the laws are be-
ing observed and obeyed and whether
the business is conducted in an order
ly manner and make a written month
ly report, under oath, to the mayor
who shall lay these reports or report
before the solicitor at the next ensuing
term of court If m town fails to car
~ out these requirements then the
County Commissioners may revoke the
license. The substitute also follows
the Ward bill in that it provides that
the possession of a United States Ii
n to manufacture or sell shall be
prima facia evidence in any dry
county, city or town of the violation Of
this State law. The act is to become
effective July first, 1905.
