Instinct Leads Birds to One Spot
When Sands Of Life Are Low.

Il seems from the accounts given
by Darwin and Mr.. w. H. Hudson,
that all the guanacos Of the southern
part Of Patagonia must resort when
the hour Of death approaches, to a
certain spot which has become a per-
feet mansoleum OF their bones.
Mr.. Hudson notes that 1t ID only
the guanaco Of the southern extrem-
ity Of the South American continent
that has this habit, habit restricted
to descendants of forefathers who
lived in an extremely rigorous cli-
mate Mr.. Hudson conjectures that
among these forefathers the instinct
grew up, when the stress Of hunger
and cold was very dire, Of resorting
to this sheltered place in the river
bed, where they might find warmth
In their own closely collected num-
bers, and possibly food. BY con
tinual survival Of those which be-
took themselves to this place OF ref
uge the race instinct would be formed
OF resorting thither when they felt
the tides Of life running low This
feeling, Mr.. Hudson argues, their de-
scendants are likely to experience
now at the approach Of the hour Of
death
But now 1t is no longer just pass
ing spell OF extreme cold that leads
them thither. The death call has
come. and they must lay their bones
In the common mortuary. 1t is not
lin order to die" that the guanaco
seeks this place; 1t would be nearer
the truth if we were to say it was lin
order to live"
But the most true account Of all Is
that it Is in mere obedience to the
inherited instinct that the guanaco re-
sorts to this refuge.
Yet another instinct of this mystic
rious guidance is afforded by the
habit OF the rattlesnakes in the cold
er countries to assemble together for
Information in caves. These snakes,
on emerging from the caves, cover
long distances in their wanderings,
their young are generally born far
away, and yet these young succeed in
finding their way to the caves with
thte greatest certainty.

English actors now in London, after
touring ''the states" say that they
have been surprised at the rise in
prices In this country. One was
struck by the high cost Of hair cuts in
the hotels. The story goes: Tired or
paying so cents to be clipped, and
seeing a sign exhibited to the effect,
Firstclass hair cut. 25 cents he en-
tered and was attended to. At the
close he casually asked: How much 2
and was surprised to be asked for so
cents. He reminded the barber Of
his sign outside. Yes. stree, said the
latter, the signs all right, but say,
you haven't got first-class hairl"

When THE Man with the Hoe was
first printed one OF the most widely
heard comments as to its fitness to
conditions Of American rural life was
that we had no such conditions in
this country as inspired Millet's we'll
known painting Every one who went
out from New York to Nassau coun-
ty to see the automobile races do
their "try outs had occasion to
change his mind, IL he held that opin-
ion, by the spectacle presented by
the women who work in the fields in
that section of Long Island, says a
New York correspondent of the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Every morning at
seven o'clock one could see the groups
Of these women on their way to
work in the fields with their skirts
kirtled up to their knees, their feet
and legs innocent of shoes and stock
ings. Many Of them trundled baby
wagons with them, and all day long
the babies would lie out in the fields
while their mothers, or temporary
nurses, would be hard at work in the
fields hoeing or wedding the crops.
Although most of these women were
of foreign birth, they did not re-
semble the animal-like women in
Millet's canvases, for the simple rea-
son that they had already absorbed
some of the brightness of our country
folk and always had time to show
keen interest. not only in the flying
racing macines, but also in those OF
more leisureiy speed, the touring
cars, and more particularly in their
occupants, for whom they had bright
eyed glances Of appreciation as bits
Of relief from the ordinary monotony
Of their lives.

A Peculiar Book.

One of the most curious books in
the world belongs to the De Linge
family of France. This book is Meth
er printed nor written. All the letters
are cut out of the vellum and inter
leaved with a peculiar shade of blue
paper. The work is so carefully done
that the book is read with the greatest
of ease.
Rudoiprus II. of Germany offered H.
600 ducats for #; but it was not sold
The most peculiar thing about this
vciume is that it bears the royal arms
Of England: but as far as can be
traced It has never been in that coun-
try.

4ysteria Contagious, Says Doctor.


Unless one agrees with a woman
who says "Hysteria is not SC bad, for
madness is better than the common
placeness of mediocrity and the dull
sanity that takes nc flights Dr.. A. r.
Mitchell OF Lincoln. Neb., is likely to
cause trepidation. AT the meeting of
the American Association of Railway
Surgeons in Chicago he said that hys-
terra was as contagious as smallpox
and unless there was training in
calmness much damage might be
done. Physicians should mix the
spiritual with their treatment Of hys-
teria," said DR.. Corwin, who started
the discussion. Everybody wants SEN
sation. It has crept into our school
board and into the lives of women"
DR.. Mitchell said hysteria was looked
upon by most persons as an outbreak
of certain avertaxed, over-emotional
women, but She educated physician
knew 1t was a disease that might af-
feet any man Or woman. DR.. Janet's
statement that we are all madmen
and hysteria is only popular phase
OF a universal mental arrangement
sounds more agreeable. since it brings
all humanity to one level.

Commands Attention.

Inform alton About Pest That NOW
Commands Attention.
The following from Franklin Sher-
man, Jr, entomologist of the North
Carolina department of agriculture, is
published in the current issue of the
Progressive Farmer:
If the reader receives and keeps the
monthly Bulletin" Of the North Car
olina department of agriculture, he can
find discussion of this pest on pages
38 and 80 of the issue of May, 1905,
where it is discussed as a corn pest,
though 1t also attacks many other
plants.
These caterpillars are striped in ap-
pearance, a black stripe extending
along each side of the body. When
full grown they are from an inch to
an inch and a half long. They are not
usually serious pests, but in seasons
when weather and the other conditions
are just right, they suddenly appear In
great numbers, devouring various
grains. grasses, cow-peas, clover, al
falfa, sweet potatoes and garden crops.
Almost every complaint this season
mentions them as attacking crab-grass'
Mr.. Benbow of Guilford county, says
| they are swarming on his alfalfa, and
they have been likewise destructive to
alfalfa on the Edgecombe Test Farm
and the Experiment Station Farm here
at Raleigh. Alfalfa is too valuable a
plant to lose in this way.
After the worms have become no
ticeable, it takes them only a week or
so to get full grown when they bur-
row in the earth, change to brown
chrysalids or pupae, and from these
come out plain, innocent looking gray
ish moths in another week or ten days
The last brood Is thought to pass the
winter in the pupae state underground
When they thus suddenly disappear
the farmer often thinks that they have
died out, when in reality they are only
Transforming to the adult moth which
will lay eggs for another brood.
| If you have a sprayer, 1t is simple
matter to protect most Of the garden
vegetables by the use Of Paris green
In water, but this remedy is not to
be thought of for fields OF alfalfa OF
crab grass. But, did you ever think
how it would be to run a heavy roller
right over the field? Seems to me
that it would literally crush the life
out of them, and it won't hurt the crop
either, provided 1t is not too rank and
tall. 1t is not likely that we will have
another destructive brood Of this pes1
this fall. but II we do, use the roller
If you want more detailed information
write to me for 1t. want to hear from
every person who was troubled by this
pest this season.

determined to bring on a general fight
before Greene could reach the river
and cross over into Virginia
The country was filled with distress.
Every one that could leave home,
connected themselves with Greene's
army. All the able bodied men and
boys among the Wings. entered the
army as militia soldiers. The old men
and old women and little children only
were left at home. This was the case
only when the pecuniary circumstances
OF the family would not allow them to
do otherwise. The country was left to
the merck Of the Tories and Bl .tish.
These in smaE squads, secured the
country. devourirg and destroying ev-
|erything within their reach. To avoid
their treacheroas cruelty, old men were
forced to conceal themselves In thick
cts. The purpose of CORVALLIS, when
he left Winnsboro, was to supply his
army from the country through which
he passed. This purpose he literally
carried out. No requisitions were made
upon the British treasury for supplies.
The campaign cost the English gov
ernment nothing In money. It was a
terrible tax upon the Wings In the re-
gion through which the army passed.
