BIRD MIaRATIoNs.
Some Do Not Dare Travel by Day
Night Has Its Dangers, Too.

From Good Health.
The birds that are surest and swiftest of
wing. as the swallows, do not hesitate to
travel by day. Those less strong of wing
and Of conspicuous plumage dare not risk
the daylight.
special dangers, too. The gas and electric
lights Of cities and towns, with the network
Of wires in their vicinity to say nothing of
church spires and light houses are the
cause of many bird disasters during MI
grafton time.
These same lights prove friend to many
OF our night foraging birds during the
insect season, when good meal Is always
easily secured In their vicinity.
Many screech owls have been seen around
these lights in town the present summer.
Their whereabouts during the day was al
ways easily traced by the excitement of
the birds in that locality. -.
/ One morning we were awakened by q
clamor among our birds, the special cause
OF trouble seeming to center in two large
maple trees. This continued all day, and
do the best we could nothing could be
discovered to warrant such tumult The
mystery was explained when dusk came
on and number of screech owls began
making Investigations in our birdhouses.
We captured one of the owls and kept It
long enough to observe some Interesting
things, chief of which was the double set
these particular birds. The under lids
look as II they might have been made from
mica and are edged with little dark line.
These serve to subdue the strong light OF
day which Is so trying to owl eyesight.
The outer lids close only in sleep.

KAISER DISCUSSES SELF
he SAYS THE GERMANS WANT TO
KNOW.

A dispatch from Berlin says: The kaisers
opinion of himself is revealed in a state
ment made by the poet, Ganghofer, about q
lengthy conversation he had with his maj
esty during the satter's recent visit to
Munich. Talking over Ganghofer's writings
the kaiser said that their optimistic tone
greatly pleased him, as he himself was
thorough optimist. Happen what might
he would remain such to the end Of his life,
He described himself as filed with Joy
in his work. He added:
Il want to go ahead. will be happy
If my people only understand my purposes
and support me-"
The kaiser complained of the distrust
which every hard worker meets with;
quoting q sentence from Ganghofer's "Si-
lence in the Woods" to the effect that one
should not mistrust another without reason.
Doing SO wrongs the other and harms
himself.
The same ruie, he said. applies to poll
tics. The German people have a future
whatever may be said, and consequently
the kaiser Is always hurt on hearing the
words empire WEAKNESS" He works with
out WEAKNESS and thinks he is making
progress.
Fondness for Travel.
The kaiser next explained the reason for
his fondness for travelling. He said his
work was fatiguing and he must refresh
himself with frequent change of scene.
Therefore he regarded criticism in this re-
spect and his nickname Of the travelling
emperor as good joke. He would not
allow 1t to diminish his pleasure in seeing
the world.
He regretted that many Germans did not
know the beauty of their own country and
said they ought to travel more. as to do SO
would tend to strengthen their love for
their country. He regretted the compli-
Gated arrangements for his journeys He
would prefer to go automoD,,Ing alone, re-
turning refreshed. Such recreation was
doubly needful to a man Of his calling, who
had to light SO many misunderstanding,
and all the more, as a monarch Is not
allowed personal independence He added:
asks who advisea him; when he fails it says
he did not understand the matter. When
am doing things that are regarded as HARM
less when done by other princes the people
demand the reasons. My only reply is that
my acts are for the good Of the German
empire and the German people,
The kaiser conseled himself with the fact
that he often found appreciation. especially

This Is movement which means much
to American art, and follows the recent
gift Of money from George A. Hearn for
the purchase Of American paintings as
distinct attempt to give greater recognition
to the works of contemporaneous Ameri-
cans-a recognition almost totally lacking
up to the time Sir Purdon Clarke became
director.
The bronzes were bought as a nucleus
around which the museum hopes to gather,
lection. They include works by Eli Har-
vey, Alexander P. Proctor Hermon A.

of carved woods which were purchased by
Sir Purdon in England, to which are add

which have been used by soulless peasants
for watering troughs are vastly improved
by cleaning and renovating. The examples
are divided into four groups-Gothic, rem
aissance, German renaissance and French
eighteenth century.
A unique exhibit which was on view in
the new accessions room Tuesday for the
first time is complete collection of all the

THE LEMON SUPPLY.
Where It Comes From-How the Val
y.- liable Essence is Obtained.

From the London Daily Mail.
Lemons have become quite a domestic
question The housewife is discovering
that lemons are scarce and dear. The ex-
PLANTATION of the shortage is a simple one.
This has been a record summer for the use
of lemons, and the supply has not equaled
the demand; prices have gone up and the
end of the summer finds a great inroad
made into the autumn stock.
Our lemon supplies are mostly guaranteed
by Sicilian summers The Messina and
Palermo crops begin in November and
sometimes last through the whole year. so
that the same ship may bring the last cases
of the old crop and the first OF the new.
But this has been lemon summer and so
the last shipments from Sicily did not pro-
vide more than enough to meet the August
heat wave. Next to Sicily we depend upon
Naples and the Neapolitan crop, which be-
gins In the early spring, usually lasts until
October. but this year, again, Neopoiitan
lemons have lasted only until the beginning
of September. Then comes sunny Spain,
with Malaga, Murcia and Carthagena lem
ons. and the groves of Lisbon practically
complete the tale of our supplies.
California has. during the last thirty
years. supplied some portion of the Ameri-
can demand, but the United States Is not
independent of the lemon groves Of Europe.
and 1t Is the largest consumer Of European
lemons, with Great Britain a good second.
most of their supplies come in the form Of
picked rinds and citrate Of lime. The Mes
sina lemons. having the most acidity. are
the best for the purposes of the manufac-
ture OF citrate On lime. and II is In Mes
sina that the lemons whose products are
wanted by the confectioners are dealt with.
The pulp Is there turned into powdered
citrate of lime. as II Is more convenient to
export than the concentrated lemon juice
from which the manufa cturers here derive
their citrate of lime; and the rinds, are put
In brine and sent over to England to be
turned into that adjunct to Christmas cheer,
candied peel.
The essence of lemon Is squeezed out of
the peel by hand. Sicilian girls stand with
pile of peel cut into quarters at their side
and before them is a sponge. That Is all
their apparatus. They squeeze each quar-
ter OF the rind and a jet OF essence issues
forth and Is soaked up by the sponge Then
the sponge Is squeezed and the costly es-
3ence Is bottled. but thousands of lemons
are necessary to IA a tiny vial. 49,
The lemon tree Is a frail plant and not so
hardy as the orange. IL Is SO used to the
genial kindness of the sun that a nip of
frost is fatal to It. One hour OF frost on
January so last year almost destroyed the

THE SILENT OPINION.
What Men Think Of Women and Wo-
men Of Men.

From the London Spectator.
Most men have some silent opinions about
women and most women about men. There
are certain, types of face, certain kinds
of manner, certain methods of expression
even, for which many men and women are
utterly condemned in the minds of some
Of their brothers and sisters. A DISPOSE
ton to dislike certain types Of face Is at
times so strong as to suggest a previous
existence.
We do not openly say that all women
with such and such eyebrows are hard
hearted, or that a man must be a char
!atan II the color Of his eyes and hair con-
tradict each other; but we act continually
upon notions hardly less unreasonable.
Educated men with small vocabularies, for
instance. are divided rule by clever wo-
men into fools by birth and self-made
fools. according to whether their want of
equipment be ascribed to nature or to Of
lection.
To the first they are Indifferent; to the
latter they have almost always a more or
less active dislike. Such men are often
aule, fact their own sex invariably rec
ognize. The man whose words are few
and i'll chosen may be man Of prompt
and reasoned action, who having been
brought up among the silent wise or the
garrulous silly deprecates the waste of
pains occasioned by the game Of talk,
All mental athletics bore him just as physi-
cal athletics bore others.
In the same way the fact that a man
pretends to know no more words than a
savage may be a matter OF awkward
though genuine humility-a fear of pre-
tending to culture he does not possess
or an act of superficial conformity to
passing fashion among small set. It
may have no more to do with his real
mind than an ugly figure or an ill-cut coat.
Circumstances will sometimes convince
even clever woman Of these facts SO far
a given man is concerned, but she will
never alter her silent opinion as to the.
generality. -
Clever women are very hard on the men
they imagine to be fools. Able men, on the
other hand. are not at all hard on women
they know@o be stupid. Where youth and
beauty are concerned the fact Is easily un-
derstood; but youth and beauty by no
means explain the whole of this phenome-
non. Many men are inclined to think that
the kind of mental power in women which
1--WE co1loquially call brains exists IN inverse,
ratio to their. common sense and serves
fonfy to carry them with fatfguing rapidity
through verbal fallacies to false con-
.cluston.

How Housewives May Organize.

From the New York Tribune.
''Housekeepers must find some way to
organize for protection against servants

claimed woman who has been famous
among her acquaintance and friends. for
the skill with which she has managed the
manservant and maidservant problem
"All the intelligence offices are filled nova
days with would-be employers and en-
ployes, but the employees have grown ex-
acting even to inso.ence, and quite beyond
endurance. The other day I had gone so
far as practically to engage a capable
looking woman as cook, when she turned
upon me with the remark: I suppose can
come out and look your house over? In

much do you have? AS much as 1 want
