have not. 1t is suggested that in birds the
sense of the instinct of direction, which is
what enables them to find their way during
migration, is so intimately associated with
That OF self-perservation, that when the for
mer is lost the latter goes also.
Now: these birds that find their way on
to ships far out at sea have no doubt lost
their sense of direction. Up in the higher
regions of the atmosphere there are currents
at different attitudes which constantly stream
along, and our little migrants must have flown
too high, been caught in these, and carried
ON and on, exerting just sufficient strength
to keep themselves up. This explains there
sudden appearance so far from shore, and is
the only seemingly possible suggestion to ex-
PLAIN there remarkable tameness.
Darwin found birds on the GALAPAGOS Islands
which were extraordinarily tame, but it seems
more likely that these were tame from alb
solute ignorance of and unfamiliarity with. hu-
man beings
Not only are small birds seen out at sea,
but even insects often come aboard, and this
particularly in warmer ATTITUDES. These must
certainly be carried out by wind, for their
own feeble powers of flight could never serve
unaided such exertions.
The whole subject is a very interesting one,
and the further research which is now going
on into curious air currents in the higher
regions of the atmosphere doubtless tend
to throw more light on this long-standing
puzzle to naturalists.

competitors Hector, who was so angry
at being conquered by an utter stranger that
he pursued him, and would probably have
slain him had he not taken refuge at the altar
of Jupiter.
Here he was seen by Cassandra, a daughter
of Priam. who had the gift of prophesy, and
who, noticing the likeness he bore to her
family, made inquiries which resulted in es-
tablishing his identity as her brother, and
Priam, forgetful of the calamities it had been
foretold that he would bring upon Troy, re-
ceived and acknowledged him as his son.
Priam's sister Hesione, had been carried
to Greece by Hercules, and married to his
friend lebanon; and Priam, desiring to obtain
intelligence of her, dispatched Paris to Greece
to bring him tidings.
This is represented as being only the ostcn-
sible reason for the voyage, while the real
one was the desire of Paris to see and obtain
possession of Helen of Sparta, who was re-
nowned for her beauty, in fulfllment of Venus
promise.
His brother Heenus and sister Cassandra
both of whom could see into futurity, en-
deayored to dissuade him, saying that it would
bring only disaster to Troy But Paris per
sisted in his intention, and landing at Sparta,
was received and treated with great hospitality
by Menelaus, the king.

The waters of the harbor were lashed into

not at all account for many such instances.

2ARIS, one of the heroes. of the Tro,
- jan War, was a son of Prlam and
y Hecuba, the king and queen OF
MfSS}5M Troy; but, during his childhood and
9x&t3aSU early manhood, he lived among the
shepherds, unconscious of his real
birth and lineage.
Before he was born, it was predicted by
soothsayer that the. child would ruin the
country, and for this reason the king and
queen ,purposely exposed the babe, In the
hope that it might perish, and thus save the
country from impending ruin.
The infant was consequently given to a
servant, who was instructed to leave it upon
Mount Ida. The servant in five days return
ed to the spot and found the babe still living,
as it had been nourished by bear The
singularity of the occurrence induced the man
to take the child home with him. He named
it Paris, and reared it as his own son.
Paris became a shepherd, and, on account
of his strength and courage in protecting the
shepherds and their hocks from the depreda-
tions of the robbers, he received from them
the name of Alexander, or "Man-protector."
While living here quietly on the Mount, he
married Oen0ne, the daughter of the river
Ceboeri but their domestic happiness was
of short duration, for events soon happened
which took him out from the shepherds life;
he learned his parentage and took his place
in his fathers family.
At the marriage of Peleus, King OF Ihes-
sally, to Thetis, a sea nymph, one OF the nifty
daughters of Nereus Ia sea god representing
the calm and pleasant aspect OF the sea-,
the goddess Eris (Strife) was not invited.
In revenge she threw golden apple among og

the most beautiful" The three goddesses,
Juno, Minerva and Venus, each claimed 1t as
belonging to herself.
Failing to agree, they appealed to Jupiter
But Jupiter, unwilling to decide between them,
instructed Mercury to take them to Mount
Ida. to Paris, who would decide the question,
stipulating that they must abide by his de-
cision. :,
On their arrival before Paris, each goddess
set forth her own claims and each also tried
to win his favor by proffering him gifts.
Juno promised him a kingdom II he decided
in her favor Minerva offered intellectual
superiority and martial proves" While
Venus told him she would give him the most
beautiful woman in the world for his wife.
Paris assigned the prize to Venus, thereby
gaining the bitter animosity of the two dis
appointed goddesses-an enmity which they
extended not only to his family but to the
whole Trojan race.
Not long after this event, Priam proposed
a contest between his sons and other princes,
the victor to receive as a prize one of the
finest bulls to be found on Mount Ida.
Those who were sent to select the bull from
among the herds, chose one that belonged
to the herds Of Paris, who consented very un-
willingly to part with it.
Hoping to be able to recover it, he Joined
in the contest, and was successful over all

In the Odyssey he gives the trials and ad-
ventures of Odysseus, or Ulysses, on his return
from the siege of Troy. So that, while Homer
contributes the most valuable and important
part of our information concerning the war,
many gaps or lapses in the narrative have to
be supplied from contemporaneous poems.
There were series of popular poems, called
Cychc poems, which gave a full narration to
the Trojan story, giving completeness to the
brilliant fragment which has been adorned by
the genius of Homer"
Paris was noted for his beauty of form and
face, but is generally thought to have been
rather effeminate His brother Hector, one of
the bravest among the Trojans, frequently re-
preached Paris with being the cause of his
country's woes, and absenting himself from
the rigors Of the battlefield, seeking, instead,
his own ease, pleasure and qualification.
He is stung into action, at times, by the
vehemence OF these reproaches At one time
he offers to engage in single combat with

When Paris found that he was wounded
he sought his wife Oenone. She had warned
him that he would lose his life in consequence
OF his journey to Greece and had also told
him that when he was wounded none but
herself could save his life
She was, however, so panied and indignant

came to her for relief, she refused to aid him
After he had left her, she repented her hard

But it was then too late. She flung herself

The most valuable asset of a
good newspaper, says the Monte
video Leader, is not its fine office
and up%-to-date machinery, its
tone of type and cams of paper;
not even the wisdom of its edi-
torials or the wit of its reporter
and correspondents, but it is that
indefnable something that goes
into its columns every week and
month and year, whereby it gains
and holds the confidence and es-
TEEN of the people. 1t is that
which begets friendship as we'll
as respect. 1t is termed good

WATCH MADE IN 1878.

A western jeweller has in his pos
session one of the six hand made silver
Swiss watches which we're constructed
in England in 1878. 1t keeps splendid
time and is more accurate than some Of
the modern watches. 1t was in 1851
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was
hrst made, and practical experience is
proving every day that it is far superior
to all modern remedies for curing
such ailments as sick headache,
Aatulency, heartburn, poor appetite,
sleeplessness, liver or kidney trouble,
Indigestion, dyspepsia, cramps, bilious
ness, female ills or malaria, fever and
ague. No matter how long you have
been a sufferer the Bitters will posi-
lively help you. Then why not get a
bottle today and give it a chance to
prove its merit. The genuine has our

A REPORT of the US. Geologi-
cal survey of the coal production
of the state for 1905 gives the
quantity of coal mined at $4,000
tons and the value of the coal at
S424,ooo. 1t is likely this total
is considerably below the actual
volume of coal mined in the state
for the reason that many mines
are operated on a small scale and
no report of the production is
possible to obtain. The signih-
canoe of the figures lies, however,,
in the fact that they show a large
increase over previous years, so
that it is evident the use of native
coal in the state is increasing.

will come to be a source of more
wealth to the state than is now
contemplated and will be distrib-
uted over a much wider field than
