THE BIRD OF DEATH.
It Ii the Only yenomous Member OF
the Feathered Tribe.

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,
or "bird of DEATH" is known to be ven-
omous. This queer and deadly species
of the winged and feathered tribe is
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 tail of
extraordinary length, ending In a 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
cocks spur and hollow. The venom
with which it inoculates Is distilled in
q 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 small fleshy knob.
When the bird sets its beak in the
flesh of a victim this knob receives q
pressure which liberates the venom
and inoculates the wound. No man,
native or otherwise, was ever known
to recover from n bite inflicted by q
rpir n'doob. The suffering In such
cases Is said to be much more agoniz-
ing than in cases of rattlesnake and
Gila monster bites.

The sweynes-feathcr (hog's bristle).
which seems to have been the original
prototype Of the bayonet, was a long
rapier blade, fixed in handle and car
ried in a sheath, which was given to q
musketeer for defense after he had dis
charged his piece. Stuck by its handle
in the muzzle of his gun, it constituted
very efficient weapon for acting
against pikemen. To diminish his in.
cumbrance the swcynes-fea ther and
musket rest were combined, the latter
forming sheath for the former, in the
reign of James 1.
Toward the latter part of the civil war
the use Of the musket rest was aban-
doned, and 1t became the practice to
stick the dagger by its handle into the
muzZle of the piece after discharging It.
In 1850 two rings were added by
which the bayonet was placed on the
muzzle without interfering with the
firing. This improvement, the inven-
ton Of General Mackay, an English
officer, was introduced into the French
urmy by Vauban in 1903. By the Eng.
lish themselves 1t was not adopted un.
til after the battle of Fontenoy Q745),
where the advantages its use conferred
on the French were only too painfully
manifest, the Duke of Cumberland's
army being defeated with the loss Of
Tx 000 man !. p6n rama Wnoklv

SCHUYLER.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The long drought
is broken at last, and it came none toe
soon. The hay crop is likely to be
considerably short as it is. Timothy
will still make a fair growth but
clover is too late. Oats were suffer
ing and in some cases showed signs Of
dying but now they are coming out il
good shape. Lots of corn would not
have come up without rain. Some
fields that were planted early arc
showing up well. Wheat is heading
but the straw is short; the rain viii
cause it to fill well. Cherries will be
a light crop. 1t is thought they were
frozen. 1t is little early yet to form
an estimate of the apple crop. There
were plenty blossoms if that may be
taken as an indication.

1t has been remarkably cool since

not be a protest from anybody if the

we had better turn our farms over TO

INITIATIVE FLOWERS.
The Caricature Plant Is One of Bra
ziPs Peculiar Growths.

The Caricature Plant Is One OF Bra
zfPs Peculiar Growths.
The Brazilian flower known as the
running antelope is so called because
its white petals have a series of well
defined, dark colored lines and dots in
which the imagination can readily
trace the form Of an antelope, with its
limbs outstretched and head thrown
back, seemingly fleeing for its life. In
the "caricature plant" one species has
the initiative form on the petals, an
other has 1t outlined in the ribs and
shading of the ribs. This last men,
toned curiosity bears a remarkably
well executed likeness of the Duke of
Wellington and has on that account
been named Arthur and His Nose.
Among the orchids the initiative
form is entirely different in character,
being exhibited In the shape of the
flower itself. Some are exact counter
feits of bees, butterflies, moths, etc,
while others take upon themselves the
form of worms and beetles. Natural
lists believe that in the first instance
1t is natures trap to lure other bees,
moths and butterflies, but in the case
of the worm and beetle orchids or
those that are exact counterparts of
toads. lizards and huge spiders they do
not attempt to explain.

A Girls Twenty Dollar Salary.

"After all is said and done, twenty
dollars week is no mean competence
for an Independent woman" says
Miss Harriet Martin, writing in the
New IDEA WoMAN's MAGAZINE for
June on spending Twenty Dollar
Salary" She goes on to show what
may be done and how girl may live
on this amount. Her first girl is
starting from the beginning and
spends $3.50 on furniture out of her
yearly one thousand and forty dollars,
S120 on clothes, S216 on food and
gas, S276 on rent, S35 on amuse-
ments and 500 on incidentals, and
saves the remaining $143. Miss
Martins women readers who them
selves earn twenty dollars a week or
more will doubtless differ greatly in
opinion as to the fundamental recti-
tude of this division. AS for those
who earn less than this amount, they
will doubtless declare that here is no
problem at all-that the real crux of
the question arises when food, rent,
clothing and incidentals have to be
met out of weekly salary of S15,
SO, or even less.

AVERAGE HUMANITY.
Most People Are Not Very Good No,
Yet Very Bad.

Most People Are Not Very Good Nor
Yet Very Bad.
What do we mean by good man or
bad one, a good woman or a bad
one? Most people, like the young man
IN the song, are mot very good, nor yet
very. bad" We move about the pas.
lures of life in huge herds, and all do
the same things at the same times and
for the same reasons. "Forty feeding
like one" Are we mean? Well, we
have done some mean things in our
time. Are we generous? Occasionally
we are. Were we good sons or dutiful
daughters? We have both honorcd and
dishonored our parents, who in their
turn had done the same by theirs. Do
we melt at the sight Of misery? Indeed
we do. Do we forget all about it when
we have turned the corner? Frequently
that is so. Do we expect to be put to
open shame at the great day Of judg
ment? We should be terribly frighten-
ed of this did we not cling to the hope
that amid the shocking revelations then
for the first time made public our little
affairs may fail to attract much notice.
Judged by the standards of humani-
ty, few people are either good or bad.
II have not been n great sinner" said
the dying Nelson; nor had he-he had
only been made great fool Of by q
woman. Mankind is all tarred with the
same brush, though some who chance
to be operated upon when the brush is
fresh from the barrel get more than
their share of the tar. The biography
Of a celebrated man usually reminds
me of the outside of coast guards
mans cottage-all tar and whitewash.

Columbia County Judgeshlp.

Editor of The Record:
In the editorial column of your is
sue of May 10 you state that "The
Record" has received a communica
tion from an old-time Democrat in
dorsing the candidacy of Hon. Grant
Herring for the Democratic nomina
tion as Judge of the Columbia Mon
tour district. Your article concludes
with the following statement: "Of
his (Herring's) faithful Democracy
there can be no question.
Evidently this old-time Democrat is
not very familiar with Mr.. Herring's
past record. Instead of his Democracy
being beyond question, the people of
Columbia county know that for the
past ten years the faithfulness of his
Democracy has been questioned or
denied by every one familiar with the
facts of his political life.
While Mr.. Herring was an office
holder, seeking still further prefer
ment, he was an active worker, speak
er and campaigner in the cause of
Democracy. But after he retired from
office his Democracy took sudden
turn for the worse. In the first Bryan
campaign he openly opposed the regu-
lar nominee and positively refused to
take the stump or cooperate with the
Democratic organization, national,
70 to nr local in 1000 xrhar
Bryan was nominated for the second
time, Mr.. Herring declined to assist
in any way. When Hon. @. r Buck
alew was defeated for Congress in the
Seventeenth district by Monroe H.
Kulp, Mr.. Herring's sympathies were
against the nominee of his party, and
he refused to speak or assist in any
effort to elect him. The same thing
| might be said of his attitude toward
the late Robert L. Pattison in his last
Gubernatorial campaign. Every voter
familiar with the political history of
Columbia county knows that for the
past ten years, and until the present
Judge fight assumed proportions, Mr..
Herring has neglected and positively
refused to speak or work in furtherance
of the cause of Democracy, or to lend
his aid in any way to the advance
ment of his party interest and his sud-
den regeneration when again seeking
office at the hands of Democrats, does
not tend to inspire confidence in his
faithful Democracy.
Permit me to add word as to Mr..
Herring's opponent for the Judgeship,
Hon. John G. Harnan. For nearly
eleven years Mr.. Harman was the Dis
trict Attorney of Columbia county.
His record in that office was not mere
ly respectable, but he displayed an
earnestness of purpose, a legal ability,
and a spirit of fairness and impartial
ity that was altogether remarkable. In
| the Legislature of Pennsylvania his
honorable record is known all over
the State. He is not as old as Mr..
Herring, but in point of judicial tenn
permanent, clear and deliberate Judge
ment and legal ability he will more
than outrank his opponent.

-HoN. VIM. T. GREASY, of Cata-
wissa, gave US Il pleasant call Monday
afternoon, and renewed his subscrip
ton to the lntelligencer. Mr.. Greasy
is one of Pennsylvania's leading citi-
zens, and has done much good for the
State in the great reform movement
He is a candidate for the nomination
OF member of the legislature, which
office he has filed so admirably, but
many of his friends insist that he ac-
cept the candidacy of Auditor General.
He is undecided as to which he will
aspire to but believes he could do
more good as Member, for he is more
thoroughly acquainted with the work
ings of that body. IF perfect harm
ony exists at the State convention,
and they still insist that he shall have
higher political honors there is no
doubt that he will bow to the will of
the many. The Prohibitionists of the
State have already named him as
their best choice for that office. None
are more sincere and active for good
than our friend, Mr.. Greasy, and we
would, therefore, urge that our State
Democracy act wisely and by all
means endeavor to do the right thing
at the right time.

VOTE
TOMORROW.

Tomorrow, Saturday the Demo-
cratic voters of Montour county will
practically select our next officials,
who will take charge of the different
responsible positions of the county
and manage the affairs good or bad,
as the case may be; they will also de-
clare their best convictions for con-
gresham, state senator and president
judge.
1t is at the primaries where the
greatest attention should centre, and
every good citizen ought not leave
anything stand between him and this
most important event. Not only
should it be his duty to vote, but he
should urge all Others of his friends to
do the same, and select well their
man, then, and then only can we
look for pure government. Again
we say study the man and be sure to
vote tomorrow.
