How Does the Robin KnowP

grubs in country dooryard. 1t is a COM

aEgleworm and drag it from its burrow
in the turf. but 1 am not sure that 1 even
before saw one drill for grubs and bring the
big white morsel to the surface. The robin
l am speaking of had a nest of young In a
maple near by and she worked the neigh
borhood very industriously for food She
would run along over the short grass after
the manner of robins, stopping every few
feet, her form stiff and erect. Now and
then she would suddenly bend her head to-
ward the ground and bring eye or ear for
moment to bear intently upon it. Then
she would spring to boring the turf Wig
orousIy with her bill, changing her attitude
at each stroke, alert and watchful, throw
ing up the grass roots and little jets Of
soil, stabbing deeper and deeper. growing
every moment more and more excited. till
finally a fat grub is Seized and brought
forth. Time after time, during several
days, I saw her mine for grubs in this way
and drag them forth. How did she know
where to drill? The insect was in every
case an inch below the suface. Did she
hear it gnawing the roots of the grasses,
or did She see a movement in the turf be-
meath which the grub was at work? l
know not l only know that she struck
her game unerringly each time. Only
twice did 1 see her make few thrusts and
then desist. as if she had been for the mo-

Cotton Industry Of India
rom the Springfield Republican


Among the cotton-growing countries of
the world our own ranks first; the second
place is held by British India. Taking one
year with another, midas cotton crop is
about 10000 bales-say, one-fifth of the
American cotton crop. There are about
800. 600 of people in India-the greater
number of them living in hot lowlands and
needing cotton clothes. In 1850 there wasn't
cotton mill in India. At the beginning
of the fiscal year 10000 there were 1871
cotton mills, having an equipment of 1859,
6s1 spindles and employing 13O,57O opera
uves. At the end of that fiscal year there
were 204 cotton mills, 5,213, 344 spindles and
1921 operatives. During that fiscal year
India exported SSS, PSI 600 pounds of raw
cotton. 252 100000 pounds of twist and
yarn, 76,00O.000 yards of cotton piece goods;
she imported 1888. 100000 yards of cotton
piece goods. Her yearly purchase of cot

A Kiowa Ball Dress.

From Field and Stream.
L. c. Reisner of Lancaster Pa. is the
owner of an Indian woman's buckskfn
dress trimmed with elk teeth. which is be-
lieved to be one of the most valuable gar
ments of this sort now in existence. Over
100 elk tusks cover this squaw dress and
most of them good specimens They
represent, of course, the death of not less
than $50 bull elks. 1t is not known where
all the elk were obtained. The garment was
finished in 1874, and was used as a state
robe for the wife of Little Boy chief of the
Kiowa tribe. 1t became one of the state
robes of that people. and after the death
of the chiefs wife was worn by Kiowa
Anna, reigning belle of the tribe 1t was

Privacy.
From Harper's Weekly.

1t is often the demand of crude youth
and half-developed women that they be
understood. All the literature of confess
sion, all the outbursts of unhappy wives
and forsaken Englishwomen and neglected
geniuses testify to this inherent instinct
In the young to make noise about them
selves, to strive, and cry out upon the
world to hear while they voluminously ex-
plain themselves. This form of publicity,
too, is futile and a mistake. There comes
an inevitable turning point. Maturity
makes a volte-face; self-knowledge yearns
for silence. There comes an age at which
one is haunted by the fear that he shall
be understood, and one seeks refuge in
the obvious rather than submit to public
ity. When a man really comes to know
himself he prefers to do it in silence. There
is kind of joy in private pursuits, an
interest attaching to personal emotions,
power of growth in reserve which warns
him from the mere dissipating of energies
in explanations
Youth may fancy any mention better
than none, and that any form of notoriety
confers distinction, but it is an unavoid-
able truth that those of whom there is
most to say are those who most persist
entity court privacy.

Don'ts for the Home,

From the Chicago Journal.
Don't be afraid of a little fun at home.
Don't shut your house lest the sun should
fade your carpets. and your hearts, lest a
hearty laugh shake down some Of the musry
old cobwebs there.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at
night and make the homestead delightful
with all those little arts that parents so per-
fectly understand. Don't repress the buoy
ant spirits of your children; half an hour S
merriment round the lamp and fireside or
home blots out the remembrance of many a
care and annoyance during the day, and the
best safeguard they can take with them
into the world is the influence Of a bright
little domestic sanctum.

Four things required to make good

labor. In England they have a saying that

trying to make suburban homes while you
wait, and where month or two seems
very long time, people are too impa tient
1t speaks well for their ambition that they
want lawns as soon as they move into

Elephant Bathed Circus Animals.

From Machinery
A circus train was pulling out of Spokane,
Wash, a few weeks ago, when suddenly the
injector "broke" and persistently refused
to take up water. After working with it
few minutes the engineer ordered an ex-
animation made of the tank; it was found
nearly empty, although filled at the water
crane but short time before.
No explanation of this mystifying condi-
ton was apparent until water in numer-
Gus streams running from the
elephant car next to the tender. and then
the cause was found Jumbo had amused
himself by reaching his trunk through the
open end of his car into the manhoie of
the tender and sucking up the water, with
which he had deluged the other animals in
the car.
They looked like drowned rats, and, need
less to say. had enjoyed their involuntary
bath no more than the trainmen had the
delay.

Plans Are Made to Hold a Series

ASSOCIATION MAY Sc FORMED

The Kenosha horsemen have begun
to get busy with the first touch of
spring weather and this afternoon an
informal matinee is being held at the
Uhlein park in which number of the
faster of the Kenosha Horses are en-
tered. The owners of the park have
kindly rendered the use of the track
to the Kenosha men for the coming
summer and plans are being made to
hold regular matinees during the sum
mer.
Nearly all of the horsemen in the
city have consented to aid the work Of
keeping up the track and there is
some talk Of the organization of a
regular association. Plans for build
ing track have been made in other
years but it is not thought that such
a plan would be feasible on account
of the cost of the track. The Uhlein
track is in almost perfect condition
and as the horses there are constant
1y being trained the track is well kept
up.
The matinee this afternoon was an
informal one but if the weather con-
tlnues favorable and the track is in
condition meet will be held on next
Sunday afternoon. Some of the horses
are showing up we'll for SO early IN
