IOWER RING BIRDS
After Bsing Shot in Flight They Ascend
and Die in the Air.

and Die in the Air.
Why is II that a mallard. a grouse. a
quail, and, for the matter Of that per-
haps, any bird when wounded In the
head during fight will frequently tow
er or mount upward at an acute angle,
oftentimes to die in midair and drop
dead to the earth like a plummet or
setting its wings, come to earth at a
long, sloping angle?
I remember a curious case of this
kind in connection with a sharp-tail
grouse. We were walking through
prairie grass well above our knees
when a long distance ahead upon a
knoll on the prairie we espied a sharp
tail grouse, an old cock bird. standing
erect in a sort Of oasis of short. vel.
vety grass not more than a couple OF
yards in diameter.
We walked quietly along, taking care
not to stamp feet upon the ground
any more than necessary. The bird
seemingly was engrossed with some.
thing, for with Its back to us 1t paid
no attention to us whatsoever until we
had advanced within about eighty
yards of 1t. Turning its head 1t sized
us up and then began to show symp.
toms OF restlessness, first standing on
n leg and then upon the other. The
early afternoon sun was shining bright
ly, and the beautiful bird, with neck
and head erect and body distended
upon its restless feet, made an attract.
i've and unique picture.
The wary bird evidently thought we
were close enough when, with a spring
and a COO COO he darted up in the air.
My friend. slightly in advance of me,
took the shot. The bird did not seem
to change its course or alter its flight
In any way. Up. up, up almost in a
straight line. the bird lowered, its
wings beating the ..ir and propelling II
skyward. We watched the towering
bird until we thought 1t would 60 out
of sight, when its wings ceased to beat
and became set, as when alighting
upon the ground.
Down. down 1t came, slowly at first
and then more rapidly at an angle di.
rectly toward us, finally falling stone
dead at our feet. Picking the bird up
and carefully examining it we found
a single shot had penetrated its head.
Presumably the nerves of direction in
the brain were paralyzed and the bird,
yet full Of life and vigor, beat the air
and assembled upward. l have seen a
mallard do this anne thing in the tow.

the explanation?-Charl Crlstadoro,

Dramatic Temperance Story.

Irving Grinnell, treasurer Of the
Church Temperance Society of New
York. told at a temperance meeting
a dramatic story:
"A INT entered a barroCm," he
said, "and advanced quietly to ter hus.
band, who sat drinking with three
other men.
She placed a covered dish on the
table and said:
"Thinkin' ye'd be too busy to come
home to supper, Jack, I've fetched it
to you here
And she departed.
"The men laughed awkwardly. He
invited his friends to share the meal
with him. Then he removed the cover
from the dish.
1.-THE dish was empty. 1t contained
a slip OF paper that said:
II hope you will enjoy your supper.
II is the same your wife and children
have at home."-Chicago Chronicle.

And now-no answering ~fervent fire

Yet thou art p~erilous fair. 1t seems,

The tap-root of all our political
evils, avows Leslie's Weekly, is the
apathy, the indifferentism, the ignor.
ance Of the people themselves with
respect to their political duties and
obligations, together with the dfsposi.
ton of many otherwise intelligent
and respectable citizens to accept and
practice a code of morals In political
affairs which they would be quick
to disown and repudiate in any other
sphere of life. 1t is the general &C.
ceptance of this double standard OF
morals that has wrought more evil
in every circle Of American govern
ment. from the lowest to the highest,
than all other causes put together.
We mean by this the acceptance OF
the shallow and vicious fallacy that
a man may himself practice, or con-
nive at, the conduct OF a rufian, a
thief. a falslfer, a cunning trickster,
or a criminal Of almost any sort to
gain his political ends and yet be
accounted a gentleman, and perhaps
a great public leader. IL not q states

An OLD minister in Weston, Mass,
tells how implicitly the people of a
generation ago trusted the weather pre-.
dictions Of the Farmers almanac. One
Of his flock had died, and the pastor
was consoling the widow. The sub.
ject OF the funeral came up, and he
asked when 1t was to be. "Wait, doc,
tor" said she, 1--WE must have It on a
pleasant day" She hurriedly searched
the almanac, and the day was set.

Too Tall for strength.

In tall men, as a rule. the body Is
out Of proportion to the lower limbs,
with the natural result that such men
are unable to bear fatigue or Il com.
pete in the struggles Of life with their
lesser fellows more tremendously pro.
pOrtioned. Army experience bears out
these observations. In a long and ia.
tiguing march the tall men usually fall
out first. A soldier between five feet
five inches and Ave feet eight inches OF
nine inches is usually the one best
adapted for bearing extra exertion.

Roadway Repairing.


In a letter to the pelectmen of the
towns throughout the State of Connec-
ticut, James H. Macdonald. State
Highway Commissioner, gives some
practical points on repairing roadways
as follows:
All culverts and cutters should be
cleaned out and all shoulders on the
roads should be pared down so that
they shall be below the Travelled por-
ton Of the highway. This will permit
of the water running off into the gut
ter. Gravel roads should have a lit.
tie gravel placed on the marks In
the centre of the road and In the ruts.
IL this is. not done at this season no
good will result. All loose stones
should be removed from macadam
roads with the back Of a rake, not the
teeth. Loose stones injure a road as
much as any one thing, because they
are driven into the surface and break
the bond.
Where the stone is beginning to
show though a little splinters or chips
OF stone should be applied to form a
cushion. This cushion should not be
more than three-fourths of an inch
thick. No sprinkling or rolling Is nee
essary. A ton Of splinters will suffice
for from $50 to 800 square feet. An
ordinary farm roller, weighted down
and run afer tie road after loose stones
are removed, will improve II. 1t is not
necessary to use screenings on a stone
road, as they only furnish dust In dry
weather. II the road is watched, a
new surface will not be necessary, as
1t will not have the chance to get in
bad condition"

or the arrivals last year 23O. 1882 over
IA years Of age were illiterate, and
one-third of them brought less thon $50
in cash with them. 1t does not take
a very lively imagination to see that
this must form a burden too great for
a country even of the great wealth
and Of this, thinks the Nor
witch Bulletin. The statistics show
that these immigrants produce more
than twice the number of criminals
and three times the number of depend.
ents and lunatics in proportion to their
number than those to the manor born.

OAKLAND, April 22.-Crowded by
hundreds of refugees in search of aid.
the relief stations that were hurriedly
established in this city are now the
scenes of great activity.
Prominent among the departments of
the stations are employment bureaus
where men and women clamor to be
put to work.
The survivors are seeking work not
only for the money that 1t will bring
but as relief for minds that have been
sorely tried for the past four days.
Wealthy Seek Work
Gathered among those who are
searching for work are men who were
in prosperous circumstances. Former
rich and poor alike are willing to take
any kind OF employment that is Of
fered.
Women who were few days ago
the possessors of snug fortunes are
temporarily taking places as domestics
that they may secure homes while
order is being restored in San Fran
cisco.
The heads of the employment bu-
reaus announced today that they would
have work enough for nearly all ap-
plicants. Hundreds are being provided
with transportation and sent to Utah,
Nevada and portions of California to
work on the proposed route of the
Western Pacific railway.
Supplies Distributed at Once
AS soon as specials carrying food
arrive at the Oakland Mole the pro-
visions are carted to the relief sta
tions and from there distributed. Flour
is sent to private families that are
engaged in baking bread for the public
restaurants.
Special trains are arriving in fast
succession from various nearby VII
entities. Each train is resplendant
with banners announcing the section
from which the donation was sent.

A mass meeting will be held in the
city hall at Hollywood this afternoon
at o'clock for the purpose of organiz-
ing relief committees to do sewing and
other work of benevolence.
AS quick as the work is started the
donated articles obtained will be rushed
to the large relief stations in Los An
geles and from there transported to the
places to which the people of San Fran
cisco flock.
The women of Hollywood feel deeply
the need of the efforts on their part,
and will contribute, both rich and poor
working together.
