Those Haunting Notes.

There was a peculiar sound from
the direction of the woods as the
member of the Bird Lovers society
sat in the window of her friends
country home one summer after
noon.
She quickly took her small 'CBird
Guide" from her ever present bag
and rapidly turned the leaves. At
last she paused with a smile of sat
isfaction and listened, with her fin
ger between two leaves of the little
book, till the sound came again.
When it was repeated an express
sion Of doubt fitted across her fea-
lures, but still she was hopeful,
"You probably know many Of the
bird notes, living SO near the woods
and in such q quiet spot" she said
to her friend. "Can you tell me
what bird that is2"
"That," said her friend briefly
"is our goat. We shall have to move
him farther off" Youths Com

WastefuI Cutting Of Trees.

The thrifty Vermont farmer is
showing himself very unwise in his
reckless and wasteful cutting of
young evergreen trees for the Christ
mas market. For some reason the
slaughter of young trees is not
wholesale in this immediate vicinity,
but a year ago Vermont sent l,6OO,-
900 trees to market and probably
more than that this year. The
amount obtained by the farmer for
the trees is a mere pittanoe, perhaps
two or three cents each at the most,
SO the only way he can make it pay
is to cut in large quantities.
The farmer does not seem to real
i re that the tree crop is one of the
best he has, that timber is growing
in value faster than almost any other
commodity. He sees the two cents
in tree half as tall as himself, but
he can not see the two dollars the
tree Will be worth when it has
qaturity. The cutting and
trimming of young trees is all right
if it is done properly and with an
eye to future growth, but the whole
sale moving down of young trees is
a very serious mistake on the part
of the farmer.

A Well Dressed Ham.

Lord Russell when practicing at
the bar one day examined a witness
whose evidence promised to be dam
aging unless he could be previously
confused. The only vulnerable part
of the man was said to be his self
esteem. The witness, a portly, over
dressed individual, went into the
box, and the great lawyer took him
in hand.
"Mr. John Tomkins, 1 believer
eyes"
"You are a stockbroker?"
"I ham,"
Lord Russell regarded him atten-
lively for a few moments and then
said, "And a very well dressed ham
you are, sir"
The shout of laughter which fol-
lowed completely Disconnected Mr..
Tomkins, and the lawyers point
was gained.-Scottish Nights.

DOOR TAINTED AIR.
It Is Not In Itself Poisonous or Even
UnheaIthfuI.

It ls Not In Itself Poisonous or Even
UnheaIthfuI.
According to the American Mag
Azine, "bad" air is not so bad. The
point is explained as follows by
DR.. Hirshberg of Johns Hopkins
university in an article on Popular
Medical Fallacies :"
q "INoul a1r-which has for its ac-
eepted meaning mir heavy with the
gases and odors of DECAYS not in
itself poisonous or even unhealth-
full. Unless it contains such a large
proportion of foreign gases that it
is noticeably lacking in oxygen its
chief effect is psychic. Some per-
sons, in brief, cannot abide
stencil. 1t sets their nerves on edge
and excites their imaginations, and
the result is that they grow pallid
and at times seasick.
"Thus indirectly it may weaken
them and make them an easy prey
to wandering microbes. But of it.
self it produces little direct harm.
Medical students, breathing the I'M
speakable gases and odors of the
dissecting room, manage to eat vast
dinners and to grow fat. Tanners,
garbage men, workers in fertilizer
factories and other persons who are
habitually surrounded by hair rails
ing aromas are ordinarily just as
healthy as other folk.
"That foul air is usually laden
with rather more germs and germ
bearing insects than air which
seems Ito the nose) to be pure is
beside the point, Experience 81. 2ws
that pure air often contains as
many Of these enemies to health as
the most foul exudations from a
sewer outlet. The Stegomyia fas-
ciata, which carries the germs of
yellow fever, would be just as dead
ly on a mountain top as along the
shore of Louisiana bayou; hence
the absurdity of shotgun quaran-
tines and of all the other medicinal
manifestations of alarm that appear
when yellow jack RACES on the gulf

CALLED TOO LATE.
An Incident That Is Full Of Human
Interest.

"Shall we call ?" That is a ques-
ton so frequently asked and so con-
Btantly discussed that the following
extract from a letter recently writ
ten from a small town may be of in
terest. 1t tells its own story and
teaches its own lesson, says the New
York Tribune:
1t was a short romance, passing
summer episode, but my eyes fiji
with tears whenever | remember it.
They looked like children, he and
she, when they moved into the for
lorn little house on the roadside in
our village. Gust married, of
course" said the gossips. "Shall
we call? Better wait perhaps till
we know who they are and what his
business is" etc, So no one dis
turbed them. The young husband
went to town early every morning,
and the little wife sat alone on the
porch and awaited his return. They
planted morning glories and nastur-
tiums and hung a bird cage among
the vines, so the place blossomed
into new life and looked as it had
never done before. The young peo-
pie seldom left home. Only on Sun
days they walked to the Presby-
terrain church and sat in a far back
pew hand in hand through the
service.
One day I saw the doctors car
riage in front Of the little porch.
'Dear meP l thought. 81 wonder
what is the matter there. I must
surely look in tomorrow And I
did. But, Sias, grim visitor, who
will not be denied, had been before
me.
As no one responded to my
knock, l opened the front door and
found my way to the sitting room.
In an instant knew what had hap
pened, There sat the poor boy
alone, his face buried in his hands,
while his whole frame shook with
dry, fearless sobs. 1 put my hand
upon his shoulder-he was younger
than my own son-and 1 whispered:
ooh, let me help you if I can"
"Oh," he groaned, eff you had
only come beforel She was so lone
ly. She longed SO for a woman's
hand and a woman's voice. Yes"
he added, ''you can help me. Tear
down the flowers when l am gone.
They were hers. And give away her
bird. l shall never see this place
again after today"
The sorrowful departure took
place that very afternoon, and l did
as he requested. l never pass the
bare porch Of that house without
remembering that 1 had practically
denied the kindness and the sym
pathy so sorely needed and craved
by one of my sisters.

When You Are In a Tunnel.

"'S' = w TIC III q dHuOls
1t is most curious fact, but the
approach of a train in a tunnel may
be easily ascertained some seconds
before it becomes visible to those
travelling toward it in an opposite
direction. The length of tunnel
is no obstacle to the realization of
this curious phenomenon, and com
pressed air is the medium which
produces the peculiar "under wa
ter" sensation. Without any warn
ing the drum of the ear is pneu-
matically pressed inward the mo-
ment the locomotive Of the other
train enters the tunnel, which for
all practical purposes is only large
tube owing to the now limited air
space. Many persons must have
noticed this peculiar feeling in the
ears without giving the matter q
second thought. Others have won
bets upon the chances Of the tunnel
containing more than one train at
q time.
