Il am glad to see that the travelling men of Montgomery have taken up he spirit of the 1910 movement" said one of Montgomery's enterprising cit- izens yesterday. T notice that the Travellers Protective Association has gone on record to lend their services in the support of the movement by the fneans at their disposal and they have even gone so far as to appoint a committee to cooperate not only with the promoters of the 1910 movement, but of the Montgomery State Fair.
 "As little as drummers think of it, they can render great service in ad- vertising city. By talking Mont gomery wherever they go. gives our city name and people want to come here to see what all this talk is about. Each mite of free advertising appro- priated by everyone of the numerous travelling men who go out of Montgom- cry will, in the course of time, evolve into a mountain. The T. P. As have my commendation for the action they have taken and 1t would be just the right thing for all other organizations and sets of business men to adopt sim liar resolutions. Thanks to the drum mer and his interest in the 1910 move- ment."

A Visitors View.

Montgomery is one of the liveliest and best cities I make on my rounds" said D. Goldberg, a well known trav- cling man, who has for a number of years been on the Southern circuit for well known Philadelphia house.
 "A man who comes into Montgomery and doesn't look for any signs of pro- gress further than the outside of the business buildings will always miss his mark. No man can get an adequate idea of the business done in Montgom- cry by merely looking at the business structures. You want to see what is going on in the inside. You want to see what class of goods the merchants are selling. You want to see what sort Of stock they are carrying. In these things Montgomery sizes up with the best cities of the country. You can't hardly go into a store in the retail dis trict of Montgomery without seeing rush of trade. If you notice the stocks these Montgomery merchants are car- ryfng you will see that they are modern and up to date. And you will find in some of these buildings whose front except the show windows looks dingy a great stock of goods. of the best merchandise, filling every nich of space in the buildings The dne and modern buildings in the retail district will come in due time, but at any rate the Montgomery mer- chants are doing the business and you can take my word for it.''

A Persistent Nest Builder.

One of the most energetic nest build
ers is the marsh wren. In fact, he has
the habit to such a degree that he can
not stop with n nest, but goes on
building four or five in rapid success
sion. And there is nothing ~slovenly
about his work either. Look among the
cattails in the nearest marsh, even
within the limits Of a great city, and
you will find his little woven balls of
reed stems, with a tiny round hole in
n side. There is a certain method
ven in his madness, for the nest in
which his wife is brooding her even
or eight eggs is less likely to be found
when there are SO many empty one
around. Then, too, he uses the others
as roosting places for himself.-London

Too Curious,

One well known New York woman
has discovered, like some others of her
sex, that it does not pay to be too Curl
Gus. One of the old family retainers is
q ScOtchman named William, who does
not believe in CLOSING over the truth
for the sake of sparing his listeners
feelings. The woman in question, al
though possessed of considerable charm
of manner, is not a beauty and knows
it. Her husband, recently deceased,
was a remarkably handsome man, and
his wife was one of his SinceFest adj
mirers. One day when she was looking
at her husbands picture on the mantei
in the sitting room William was fuss
ing around the CRATE. and in Il moment
of impulse she asked:
william, what do you think made
such q handsome man as Colonel S.
marry such a plain woman as me?"
William looked from the portrait to
the speaker, meditated a second and
answered:
"Must have been heavens will,
ma'am."

"Carat. ns Applied to Diamonds.

Although the term "carat" is applied
to diamonds as well as to gold. it does
not the same thing. Used with
regard to the metal it expresses quality
or ~fineness, 81 carat being pure gold
and % carat equal to coined gold. But
applied to the diamond carat means ac-
tual weight, and by this measure 1852
carats are equal to an ounce troy The
value of a diamond is not merely so
much per carat. irrespective of size.

The African Drum.

The African drum appears in varied
and often picturesque forms. The ma

trunks IT e~arthenware, covered with
the skin Of some wild animal or some
times with india rubber. OF the Origi-
nal calabash drums there is probably
only II specimen in Europe. Some Of
the drums are highly ornamented
either by painting or carving. One
specimen, indeed, has puzzled travellers,
for there is depicted on it unmistaka-
bly, a cross and also a head of European
type. A drum found in upper Lualaha
has a unique popularity in the way Of
a Sympathetic cord" formed by means
of a small tube ingeniOusly inserted in
the side of the instrument, which
causes, when the drum is beaten, a vi

A Plea For Soup.

A learned doctor, pleading for soup
on every dinner table, says: "a person
comes to dinner weary and hungry
and needs first something to stimulate
the secretions of the stomach. The
first course, hot soup, does this by its
action upon the nerves which control
the blood vessels. Taking the soup
slowly is an aid to digestion, and if
not a favorite dish fish or oysters can
be substituted, serving the same pur-
pose. The joint or roast can then be
taken with benefit to the system, and
the game, vegetables and sweets
should follow in their order, not nee
e~ssarily in courses for the plain fam
lily dinner, however,"

THE BIRD OF DEATH.
1t Is the Only VenomOus Member of

1t Is the Only Venomous Member of
the Feathered tribe.
Among all the thousands of feathered
creatures classified by the trained or
nithologists but one, the rpir n'doob,
o. bird of DEATH" is known to be ven
omous. This queer and deadly species
of the winged and feathered tribe is Il
native of the island of Papua, or New
Guinea. The bird is described as be-
ing about the size Of a common tame
pigeon, of gray plumage and a tail of
extraordinary length, ending in Il tip
of brilliant scarlet red. 1t is a marsh
bird and is found to inhabit only the
immense stagnant pools adjoining the
lakes Of the interior of the island. The
rpir has a hooked beak as sharp as a
cocks spur and hollow. The venom
with which it inOculates IS distilled in
a set of organs which nature has pro-
vided for that purpose and which lie in
the upper mandible. just below the
openings of the nostrils. Under this
poison secreting laboratory in the roof
of the mouth is a small fleShy knob.
When the bird sets it's beak in the
flesh of a victim this knob receives a
pressure which liberates the venom
and inoculates the wound. No man.
native or otherwise, was ever known
to recover from a bite inflicted by a
rpir n'doob. The suffering in such
cases is said to be much more agoniz-
ing than in cases of rattlesnake and
ella monster bites.

Mileage of the Blood.

The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astounding facts in our
personal history. Thus it has been cal
culated that, assuming the heart to
beat 60 times a minute at ordinary
heart pressure, the blood goes at the
rate of 207 yards in the minute, or sew
en- miles per hour, 16S miles per day
and $500 miles per year. If a man
of e~ighty-four years of age could have
n single blood cOrpuscle floating in
his blood all his life it would have
Travelled in that same time 5,15O,SOS
miles.
