WHY THE BIRDS MIGRATE.

spring journey of the birds, but it is now generally conceded that insufn- ciency of food rather than cold is the chief factor that causes the return migration in fall.
 some of the hawks and other birds repair and reuse an old nest for many years. When a pair of birds appear at nearly the same date year after wear at a given nesting site, 1t Is reason- able to suppose that 1t is one and the same pair, and that an attachment for that particular site Is indicated.
 While we readily see where birds as class profit by migration, 1t is not easy to understand how certain indi- viduals are advan ntaged by 1t, or what induces those individuals to undertake lt. To explain this some ornitholoRfsts have brought in the theory of the aaiIr- vival of the fittest," arguing that such birds as remained oyercrowded n Southern breeding place. where coinpe- tition was keener for food for them selves and young, would be at a dis- advantage with those who sought more room and greater abundance of food In more northern breeding grounds. while In the Fall the birds that re- mained in the locality of growing scar city of food and the greater severity of climate during the trying winter season would not have the same ad- Vantages as those which sought their southern quarters again. Thus the birds which did not conform to the migratory movements would eventually be eliminated ana the instinct of migra- tion would be handed down by an ever growing number until 1t became uni versal.
 It may be noted that while g won derful instinct guides birds to and from their northern homes and often enables them to avoid storms. yet 1t Is not in. fallible, and they are not infrequently surprised by such severe weather as decreases their numbers sadly. Bird students wildly remember how a few years ago the formerly abundant and now again happily numerous bluebirds were so reduced in one winter that theJ were scarce throughout their range for several ars MT. Thomas s. Roberts of Minneapolis, Minn., has recorded that on the night of March IS, 1904, an immense northward flight Of Laplano Iongspurs was overtsken in Southerl Minnesota and Northern Idaho by severe snowstorm. and, being coated with snow. were driven heavily t earth. perishing in great numbers Counting the dead bodies on a meas

Story Told by Justice Brewer of $

Story Told by Justice Brewer of a
 Scene In a Western Court.
 Justice Brewer in the November Att lantic monthly as an article on ''The Ideal Lawyer" In 1t he tells the story:
 The following story illustrates the exceeding cleverness of one of our leading counsel in this respect. A wealthy family In the West had an only son who came to an Eastern city and engaged in business He left the West an unmarried man and lived for some years in the East So far as his family knew, he never married, but on his death a woman claimed to have been his wife. and sought a widows share of his property She had no certificate of marriage nor was Lnere any registry of 1t, Most of the family, in order to avoid publicity, were willing to allow her something In compromise of her claim, but the mother, proud of the honor of her family, repudiated the'idea

DOROTHY DIX AGAINST < BREACH PROMISE SUITS.

have letter from q young girl that tells story that Is one of the sad. familiar tragedies of life: Six years ago this young woman became engaged to a man with whom she was deeply in love. and who professed af- lection for her, but who was not ready to marry, and asked her to walt for him.
 She did.
 She denied herself attentions from other men and cut herself off from the opportunities of marriage that might have come to her in her bloom ing girlhood.
 He has tired of the girl who waited for him so patiently, and Is going to marry another woman, and my corre- spondent asks me what she shall do.
 Out of the depths of her sore and bruised heart she cries out that she wants revenge. and asks can she get any satisfaction by suing him for breach of promise.
 Iwish that might speak to her with the voice of angels and entreat. beg. implore her not to deg rade herself and shame her womanhood by, doing any thing so vulgar as to drag her slain love into a court of law and have a jury assess damages to it in dollars and cents. as If 1t were a calf killed
  niture broken by careless lodger.
 Only . Trick.
 The breach of promise suit is the trick of the adventuress---of the female grafterA-who is willing to get money out of a man at any price, even the price of her pride. and decent women should have nothing to do with 1t. Of course, respectable women do resort to 1t now and then, but they are of g fibre 50 coarse that one would think that the men they sue would be willing to pay any amount of money rather than marry them.
 There are some things in this world so fine and delicate that the scales of justice are not sensitive enough to weigh them in. The promise of mar rlage Is one Of them.
 When a man.. wins a woman's heart and asks her to marry him, he enters into a definite obligation to her.
 A woman's youth Is as much her har- vest time of opportunity as. the sum- mer is the harvest time of the year. It is the time when she has practical ly all the chances she ever has to marry. and if she foregoes these for the sake of the man to whom she Is betrothed. she has sustained a definite financial loss, just as much as if she had been prevented from entering into profitable business partnership.
 This takes no account of the deeper loss--of the loss of love, of the loss of faith, of the loss of hope. of all that is best and sweetest in a woman's life; nor does 1t comprise the bitter burn ing agony of shame and jealousy with which a woman sees herself discarded -jilted-made mock of before all who know her.
 Money No Cure.
 No wonder that such a woman wants to be revenged on the man who has houted her--who has worn out her youth and beauty sonly to throw her

scarless surgery is numbered among the most recent achievements in medi- cal science. It Is explained that in making the first incision the scalpel does not cut the skin at right angles with the surface. but passes tn ough if at a slant. After the operation Is performed a rigid dressing of wool and glass Is applied to prevent contraction and as much pressure is brought to bear on the wound as Is safe. Accord ing to foreign advices. the London sur eeon who conceived the idea and suc- cessfully put it in practice is unable to meet the demands for his services.

A New. submarine.

Mfr. Henry M ddIeton, a London in- ventor, has patented submarine from which 1t appears possible for the crew to escape iR4 the machinery should get out of order whil ethe boat is at the bottom of the sea.
 The coming tower is a detachable compartment, which can be separated from the boat. proper by compressed air. It is lighter than water, so that when detached it rises to the surface. and It's top. projecting above the wa- ter, becomes visible to rescuers
 The inventor claims so for his boat that 1t can be submerged quic'ter than the present type of subma ines. The craft has two pairs of fins at the sides, worked by electricity.
 The sci" said Mir. Middleton, like the fins of a fish in propelling the boat, while. according as they are in clined up or down, they cause the ves- se1 to sink or rise"
 "A large crew fs not necessary. All the work can be done by one man. who stands at table on which are several levers. He directs the movements of the submarine by turning a handle or pressing button"
 Experts say the only drawback to my invention Is expense but they ad- nit that 1t will work. It is the result of eighteen years of study and experi- ments.'

aside for q younger. fairer face--who has given her treachery for her faith, and disappointment for her waiting, but there is absolutely no way in which che. can balance her account with him
 Least of all she can do 1t 6y suing not compel the man to marry her un- less he wants to, nor can she heal the wounds in her soul with a pouitice made of greenbaeks.
 The woman who has been tilted has been grievousiy wronged, but she has for her consolation the respect and sym pathy of all who know her as long as she wraps the mantle of silent dignity about her pride
 Not so if she takes her troubles into court and attempts to make a man pay for the tender words he has written her. the foolish love talk he has bab- bled, the very kisses he has given her.
 She becomes then a figure of fun to every onlooxer. a subject of jest and laughter for the ribald, a creature with sensibilities so dull and callous that she Is willing to exhibit the wounds of her heart, turn her soul wrong side out. and drag into the light and before the public gaze the things that are so sacred that they should He only be- tween woman and her God.
 The Better way.
 No man on earth Is of enough im- portance for a woman to dishonor her. self and her sex that much in order to get even with him. No money could pay her for doing 1t. and so. as my correspondent h a good girl and not an adventures. I entreat h1r to think no more of doing anything so fool ish. and which she will regret so much. as suing man for breach of promise.
 If she would only look at the matter rightly and sensibly she would see that she is really subject for congratuia- ton instead of commiseration. Any man who would 5tit the woman to whom he had been engaged for years is dastard that Is not worth single tear. or regret
 He would make a faithless husband, and the woman who has escaped being his wife is playing In all sorts of luck, If only she knew 1t. Better a million times false lover than a false hus- band.
 Moreover. there are many other things In the world besides love, and a wo- man is very foolish to let an unhappy love affair. no matter how ill-treated she has been. spoil her life.
 So. If she Is wise, this girl will make a bonfire of her love letters instead of taking thtn into court to be read aloud for the derision, of the multitude.
 She will put a lock upon her lips so that whatever her friends may guess they VIII never know anything for sure about whether she tilted the man or he tilted her. She will buy herself , some new clothes and go everywhere she Is asked, instead of staying at home and pining away into a green and yellow melancholy, and, in a word, "for- get it."
 In that way alone can she, as the Chinese say, save her face." She will prevent her friends from plying her, and deprive the nan the satisfaction Of thinking she is pining for him.

AUDITORS ON TRAINS.
Will Take Place Of Conductors II
HANDLING Money,

Train conductors on the Memphis ana
Charleston division Of the Southern
Railway no longer go through theiI
trains collecting fares ana punching
tickets. In the office of the Master OF
Trains at Tuscumbia is bulletin an
nouncing that auditors will be placed
on all passenger trains of that division
who will be charged with the duty of
handling all tickets, passes and collect
ing all cash fares.
This means that conductors who have
always handled this business in CON
nection with the movement of their
trains will be superseded by auditors
The latter will be required to wear
uniform, and will be armed with a GER
tificate signed by the comptroller and
approved by the auditor at Washing
ton. which. when presented to the train
conductor, will be passport for the
auditors. The bulletin states that the
auditors will nave nothing to do with
the physical movement of the trains
but their duties will be to handle the
transportation held by the passengers
The train conductors will have absolute
charge of the trains movements. as
formerly.
The bulletin comes as a surprise, anG
whether it is an experiment or is tC
be permanent remains to be seen. II
will minimize the work of the condTc-
tors, and relieve them of a vast amount
of work, and they seem to be pleased
with the innO+ alton.
