THE ANGELUs BIRD.

When travelling in the forests OK
Guiana and Paraguay, 1t Is not uncom.
mon to meet with a bird whose music
greatly resembles that of an Angelus
bell when heard from a distance. The
Spaniards call this singular bird a
bell-ringer, though it may be still
more appropriately designated as the
Angelus bird, for. like the Angelus
bell, it Is heard three times a day,
morning, noon and night, declares the
Guardian Angel. Its song, which de-
fies all description. consists OF sounds
like the strokes Of a bell, succeeding
one another every two or three min
utes, so clearly and in such a reson-
ant manner, that the listener, If q
stranger, imagines himself to be near
a chapel or convent. But 1t turns u
that the forest is the chapel, and the
bell a bird.
The beauty of the Angelus bird is
equal to his talent; he is as large as
a Jay. and as white as snow. besides
being graceful in form and swift In
motion. But the most curious orna-
ment of the Angelus bird is the tuft
Of black, arched feathers on Its
beautiful head; 1t is of conical shape
and about four inches in length.

An up.to-pate DOC.

An up-to-date dog is one that an
swers the telephone. The senior
partner of an influential london firm
has taught his dog not only to guard
the Office during his absence. but also
to report "All's we'll" during the time
the premises are closed during week
ends. One of the old-fashioned tele-
phones, which does not require that
the receiver should be taken of its
holder, is fixed up in the Office, and
under this the dog stands. His mas
ter rings up the Office and then calls
until the attention of the dog is a
reused, when the canine care-taker
banks loudly to show that all is well
with him and with the Office. !.

PPLEBLOSSOM

Dick and Eugenia live In Boston,
and every summer they go down to
Maine with their mamma, to visit
grandma and grandpa. Last summer,
before it was quite time for them to
60, Eugenia got a letter from grand
ma, telling her that grandpa had just
brought home a dear little pink-and-
white pig with a curly tail, and they
wanted her to send them a name for
It..
When the letter was read to Eu-
genia, says Mabel Hastings Skinner
in Holiday Magazine, she stood by
her and thought for a min
ute, then she said:
Pink and white! Well, l think I'll
call her Appleblossom."
Grandma laughed when she got the
name, but the pig was always called
Appleblossom; and such a funny lit
tie piggie as she was! She would
stand right up on her hind feet and
try to catch an old whip, which the
children would hold over the gate OF
her pen, and. when she got 1t In her
mouth-as she always did, for she
was very quick-she would hold 1t
tight In her teeth, and, bracing with
all four feet, pull back as hard as
she could. If they threw in a stick.
she would play with it just as dogs
do sometimes. She would get 1t In
her mouth and u about with 1t or
whlrl around and around. One day
she got so excited she slipped and
fell.
Dick and Eugenia were always ask
ing for something to give Appleblos-
som to eat, and she always expected
it. If they came into the barn. she
would jump up, rest her fore feet on
the top of the gate. and squeal until
they came to her.
One day Rowdy, grandma's pony,
whose stall was next to Appleblos-
SONS pen, rubbed against a door
between the two and burst 1t open.
Piggie at once ran out into the barn,
and then such a time as they all had
to get her back! She would u
everywhere except through her gate.
Grandpa, grandma, Aunt Decide. n
both children worked as hard as they
knew how, but Appleblossom got
ahead of them every time.
They were almost ready to despair
of ever getting her back to her pen
when Aunt Decide, who Is a big,
strong girl, suddenly made a dive and
caught piggie by one hind foot.
Grandpa jumped quickly and caught
the other one; and 1 don't know who
was the most excited, grandpa. Aunt
Decide, or the children.
They all did a great deal OF jump
ing around and squealing; but they
finally made Miss Appleblossom walk
back into her pen on her two front
feet, and got the gate closed once
more.
Then the children rushed around
and got her a great big dinner to
keep her from feeling SO sorry that
she could not u out and play as
they could. Appleblossom ate it with
grunts of satisfaction, as much as to
say that, even If she did not succeed
in doing all she intended. she a
really accomplished something.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

-
A trained nurse says: "In the prac
tice of my profession l have found SC
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that 1 unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate ian essential in food for the sick
and can be adapted to all ages, being
softened with milk or cream for babies
or the aged when deficiency Of teeth
renders mastication impossible. For
fever patients or those on liquid diet
find Grape-Nuts and albumen water
very nourishing and refreshing. This
recipe is my own idea and is made as
follows: Soak a ~teaspoonful of Grape
Nuts in a glass of water for an hour,
strain and serve with the beaten white
Of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice
or fiavoring. This affords a great deal
of nourishment that even the weakest
stomach can assimilate without any
distress.
my husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.

Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or

Every ma and every woman feels
ance upon conduct. You have heard OF
the lonely man in the Australian bush
who always put on evening dress for
dinner, so that he might remember he
was a gentleman. Addison could not
write his best unless he was well
dressed. Put a naughty girl into her
best Sunday clothes and she will be-
have quite nicely. Put a BLACKBOARD
into khaki and he will be a hero. Put
an omnibus conductor into uniform
and he will live up to his clothes. In
deed, In a millennium Of free clothes
of the latest fashion we shall all be
a%rchangels.
New Workers have recently become
as dependent on the auxiliary adverb
as il they had been accustomed to it
always, and had not just begun to
borrow it from the talk of London.
The average dweller in Manhattan
was formerly satisfied to a that a
place was full. Now he cannot ex-
press his meaning without adding the
adverb and describing It as Gull up"
Nor Ices he any longer try anything.
He must try 1t on" presumably be-
cause it is done in London. In several
other instances words which were
formerly complete in themselves re-
quire now the aid Of the additional
adverb for no other evident reason
than that London talks in that way.
Different factors contributed toward
the era Of plenty in 1905 as in prior
years. The first is undoubtedly our
marvellous natural resources-marvel-
lous in variety and marvellous in
quantity. The American railroad is
another factor in our country's
Astounding prosperity. By increasing
settlements our railroads have caused
two blades of grass to grow where
one grew before" Climbing the
Rocky Mountains and stopping only
at the waters of the Pacific and then
loading ships with American farm,
mine and factory products, our rail-
roads have performed Brobdingnagian
feats in the accomplishment and con
tinuance of American prosperity.

North Country England Custom.

In the north of England, and espe-
cially in Cumberland and Lancashire,
a large bowl of rum butter is made
before the birth of a child. It is
made from brown sugar worked into
as much butter as will absorb it and
favored with rum and nutmeg.
The mother of the child is allowed
to partake of this dainty, but its chief
use is for the entertainment of call
ers, who drink the health of the new
conner and eat biscuits spread with
rum butter.-Food and Cooker.

FAGGOTS.

This game requires a rather large
room, or 1t can be played with more
freedom out of doors. It consists In
forming a circle and placing the play
ers two by two, SO that a gentleman
stands with a lady in front of him. and
this forms a double circle; each pair
thus standing is called a Faggot. The
players must be an eve number. The
Faggots being formed, two persons
are chosen to chase. n running at
ter the other. The person running
first has the right to cross the circle
in every direction, and for that reason
the faggots must be wide enough
apart for them to run easily around
and among them. When the person
who is being pursued does not wish
to be caught and made to take the
place of the person running after him.
he places himself before one OF the
faggots, in the midle of the circle
wherever he pleases. Then this Tag.
got Is composed Of three persons
which must not be. The one who
finds himself number three. outside
of the circle, must then escape to
prevent being caught. If he is caught
he takes the place of the runner, who
let's him run after him, or, If he pre-
fers it, enters Immediately into the
circle and places himself before a
faggot, which instantly provides a
new runner, who is obliged to fly Inn
mediately, like the first; but he can
on the instant force another to run,
by placing himself before a faggot,
which animates the game If the rum
ming Is done with skill and agility
