THE GOLDFiNCH.

Changes In P1umage That Arc Pu1-
sling to the Novice.
Most every one In America Is &C
quainted with the goldhnch, but many
people know the bird by the name Of
lettuce bird on account Of its bright
yellow color. Goldfnch is very ap-
propriate name, as the bright yellow
Of the male when in breeding plumage
is like FURNISHED gold. The female
goldfnch is more modestly dressed
than her mate. The changes in plum
age Of the male are very interesting
and to the novice somewhat puzzling.
Until the student becomes acquainted
with the bird he may wonder why he
sees no males during the winter. The
truth Is at this season the focks Of
supposed female goldfnches are really
Of both sexes, the male bird having as
sumed in the previous fall, usually BY
the end Of October, a plumage closely
resembling that Of the female and
young bird Of the year. The male re-
tains this inconspicuous dress until
late In February, when one can no
tice gradual change taking place In
some Of the birds. This renewal Of
feathers IS actively continued through
March and April, and by the first OF
May our resplendent bird Is with US
again. The song period with the male
goldfnch continues as long as he wears
his gold and black livery, for It COM
mences as early as the middle OF March
and ends late In August. Goldfnches
are very cleanly in their habits and
bathe frequently. Their nests are ex-
quisite pieces Of bird architecture, the
inside being lined with the softest
plant down. The mother bird Is the
builder, her handsome consort during
the nest building time devoting most
of his efforts to singing to cheer bis In
dustrious mate.-Philadelphia Press.

How Any Trait May Be Fixed In .
Normal Human Being.
There is not q single desirable attri-
butte which, lacking in plant, may not
be bred into it. Choose what improve
mant you wish In flower, a fruit or q
tree, and by crossing, selection, culti-
vation and persistence you can fix this
desirable trait irrevocably. Pick out
any trait you want In your child, grant
ed that he is a normal child, be it hon
esty, fairness, purity, lovableness, in
dustry, thrift, what not. BY surround
ing this child with sunshine from the
sky and your own heart, by giving the
closest communion with nature, by
feeding him we'll balanced, nutritious
food, by giving him all that is implied
in healthful environmental influences
and by doing all in love you can thus
cultivate In this child and fix there for
all his life. all Of these traits-natu-
rally not always to the full in all cases
at the beginning Of the work, for he
redity will make itself felt first, and, as
in the plant under improvement, there
will be certain strong tendencies to re-
version to former ancestral traits, but
in the main with the normal child you
can give him all these traits by pa
tiently, perslstently guiding him IN
these early formative years.
And, on the other side, give him foul
air to breathe, keep him in a dusty fac
tory or an unwholesome schoolroom or
a crowded tenement up under the hot
roof; keep him away from the sun
shine, take away from him music and
laughter and happy faces, cram his lit
tie brains with 80 called knowledge,
all the more deceptive and dangerous
because made 50 apparently adaptable
to his young mind; let him have asso-
ciates In his hours out Of school, and at
the age Of ten you have fixed In him
the opposite traits. he Is on his way
to the gallows. You have perhaps seen
a prairie fire sweep through the tall
grass across a plain. Nothing can
stand before It; it must burn itself out.
That Is what happens when you let the
weeds grow up In a child's life and
then set fire to them by wrong environ
ment.-Luther Burbank in Century.

Fellow citizens Since this is the year
to elect Congressman to represent the
people, hereby announce my candidacy
for Congress from this the Second Con-
gressional District of South Carolina; and
most respectfully urge the voters to ex-
anime my record as public servant, for
not only few months, but for my entire
service of six years as member of the
House of Representative of South Caro-
lima. Truly unfortunate that the Federal
laws encourage contests in the South !;
that so many of our representatives are
molested, certainly provision for an
allowance of about two thousand dollars
to the contestant, and also to the one
whose place is contested for, should be
modified or repealed, and forever put an
end to the practice. By reason of a laud-
able ambition-that of my promotion
coupled with a God given desire to serve
the Second District as have my home
county (promising to contend as earnest
ly and as vigorously as in the past for
such measures as would be conducive to
the best interest of our great country, l
seek the suffrage of my fellow-country-
men. I pledge myself to abide by the
rules and regulations of the Democratic
Party, and to obey the new election laws
(see Acts of General Assembly 1905 on
the subiect) governing primary elections.

ENCANiPMENT OF ODD FELLOWS
HAVE \ GREAT TIME.

The special session of the Encamp-
ment of the /. o. o, f. held last might
Tor the pfTpose OF greeting Grand
Patriarch Harvey Lewis and con-
ferrtng the Patriarchal degree on
nine Candidates. was one of the most
pleasing evenings in the history of
The branch in this city. Encamp-
ments are not always honored with n
visit from the high official who pre-
sides over the order in Colorado and
the fact that the Grand Patriarch had
favored the camp of this city with an
official visit. made the members strive
all the more to provide for the com
fort and entertainment OF Mr.. Lewis
as well as the membership In general.
The attendance was large and the
string of nine candidates put through
the degree in excellent STYLE. with The
visiting Grand Patriarch acting in his
oihcial capacity. After the second
part of the floor work. an adjourn
ment was taken to the rooms over
the Gourley-Platt store where the
ways and means committee of the Re
bekah lodge served an BANQUET roval
The spread was delicious and The
manner in which 1t was prepared
would have done credit to a caterer.
The tables were loaded with tooth
some and appetizing dishes and before
the mighty array OF Patriarchs disap-
peared in rapid manner.
Following the banquet the third
part of the degree was worked and
an hour devoted to the good of the
