BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES
All Have Not Same Ranse-SwaIlows'
 Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to and from one country to another in spring and autumn are regularly fol. lowed. One great thoroughfare, of course, is in the spring from south to north, and conversely in the autumn from north to south; another is south. east to northwest; a third southwest to northeast, with the return into the game starting points, says the Scot. man.
 me great southern wintering region is south of the north of Africa and extends to far beyond the equator, and from it, under the breeding in- stinet in spring, birds hurry away to disperse themselves over the wide spreading palaearctic or northern lands, which extend as far, in the case of some species, as long way within the arctic circle South of the equator during the northern winter the migrants fly toward the south pole to breed. The seasonal range limit nf some of the northern breeding birds is enormous-seyeral extending from Patagonia to Greenland.
 All migratory birds have not the same range; some fly longer, some shorter, distances. The best known of all the birds of passage, the swal- low has one of the longest ranges from 1000 to 10000 miles In this extended range are also included such birds as the gray blower the knot, the pectoral and eurlew sandpipers and the Asiatic golden blower
 The longer range-from 5000 to 1000 miles-includes such well-known birds as the cuckoo, the cornerake. the sedge warbler, the greenshank; the moderate range-from 5000 to 5000 miles-embraces the turtle dove. the crane. lapwing, mallard and jack snipe; the third range-from 1000 to 2000 miles-such birds as the wood chat shrike, the stone curlew, the woodcock and black tern and in what Is called the restricted area-with a mileage of 1000 miles downward there are the waXwings, several gulis and the cider duck

Boonville. Ind.-That the best relief and cure for the white plague are in fresh air, nutritious food and hygienic measures is shown by cure in Rock port. Mrs. w. A Fee, of that city, had tuberculosis several years. and a gear ago could hardly get around her home
 Secretary Hurty, of the board of health of Indiana. sent out a set of rules which were intended to be nlaeed in the hands of the afflicted, and contained the latest methods as to how to combat the malady. Among the most important of these rules Is the injunction to have as much fresh air az possible when sleeping, advo- eating sleeping out of doors in tent. Or other structure where the patient would get nothing but fresh air,
 A large tent was placed in her yard near the house. A floor was placed in it and stove arranged so that 1t could be heated, but at the same time there was opportunity for plenty of fresh air to get into the tent around the walls Her husband assisted her to keep open air home. for she was not able to walk that short distance at that time They slept in the tent all through last winter, and are still sleeping there.
 From the beginning Mrs Fee began to show signs of improvement until she is now almost well.

Gloucester, Mass.-The former fish. ing schooner, John R. Bradley, which LOOK Dr Frederick A. Cook, the Brook. lyh explorer, to Etah, from whence he IS 10 make a dash for the pole, is at ahchor in the harbor here.
 capt. Moses Bartlett. her command. er. who was with Peary in the Roose- velt, says that Cook accompanied John h. Bradley, the owner of the schooner ostensibly upon a hunting trip and un. III their arrival at Etah he had not announced his intention of trying for the pole to anyone. He took only one man from the Bradley. Rudolph Frank eron, a cook. His plan is to stay in Etah until December or until the ice pack becomes well hardened. then dash along the pack. When open water is met he will cross it in two canvas boats. Capt Bartlett says that had Peary had these boats he would have succeeded in his attempt.
 Dr Cook will take only a few Es. kimos and dogs and will relay them in stations all the way. He will take substantially the same route as Peary. It was found that the Eskimos had rlned Peary's food caches and even overturned his boats MT. Bradley ieIt Dr. Cook supply for IS months.
 Dr. Cook from Etah has about 1000 miles to cover. He must return by the same route-across Smith sound overland S4 degrees, then over the ice pack and sea.
 The attempt will not be costly one. Dr Cook was a guest on MT. Bradleys trip and the expenses of the Eskimos and dogs will not be ex- cessiye.

A LittIe-Seen Rird.

How many of the Wide-Awakers
have ever seen the little, night-bird
called whippoorwill? That's Il queer
name for a bird, isn't It? 1t Is called
that because it's note sounds like the
word One Is rarely seen ii the day
time, for it seldom appears until after
the swallows have gone to their roosts,
when 1t skins along the surface of the
ground, seeking moths and ether soft
bodied insects, of which it is very
fond. Sometimes 1t appears also be-
tween daybreak and sunrise, and its
low notes are heard then as In the
evening. Strange to say, 1t does not
build nest, but lays its eggs, gen.
orally two, of greenish white spotted
with blue and light brown, In sort ;,
hap hazard fashion, on fallen leaves.
One popularity of the bird Is the for
nation of Its mouth, which shows how
nature adapts living things to their
necessities and surroundings. The
mouth is wide and gaping, and has
stiff bristles at the base of the bill to
keep insects from escaping after they
are caught.

A bed-sore Is an ulcer that forms on
the skin of patient who, by reason of
continued illness, has to keep the same
position in bed for long seasons 1t is
generally the direct result of continued
pressure In one spot.
The parts Of the body most likely to
be affected are those where the bone is
near the surface, such as the hip or the
spinal column, and sometimes even the
elbow. The illnesses which confine the
patient to the bed for long unbroken
weeks-such as typhoid fever-are the
ones in which bed-sores are most likely
to develop, although In many cases of
paralysis and somediseases of the spin
al cord that may come spontaneously,
and seem to be traceable less to pres
sure than to some diseased condition
of the "tropic" nerves, that is to say,
the nerves the function of which 1t is
to govern the nutrition of the skin.
OF course where they develop spon-
taneously no one is to blame; indeed, in
some cases of severe injury to the cen
trail nervous system they may develop
almost Immediately, and with no refer
ence to the position of the patient or
to pressure on any one part. But in the
case of the ordinary bed-sore occurring
in the case Of long illness 1t may be
he'd as an axiom that it Is reproach
to nurse. The large hospitals hold
themselves rigidly to this theory.
The reason for this strictuess is that
a bed-sore Is thing for prevention
rather than cure, and it's prevention is
from first to last matter of strict and
scrupulous cleanliness and care. They
occur so often in patients whose sensi-
bilities are blunted that unless the at
tendants exercise the most watchful
care they are present without a word of
warning; but when a nurse once knows
what causes them, and in what illnesses
they are likely to appear, a shar look
out will naturally be kept
The pressure on one part can be re-
lieved in several ways. Perhaps the
best is the round air-cushon with a
hole in the center, as the Threatened
part can then be placed Immediately
over the hole. If cushion of this kind
cannot be procured, a wad of cotton
can be arranged to perform the same
service. Cleanliness Is absolutely es-
sential. The sheet must not be wrin-
kled, and there must be no crumbs in
the bed. The mattress should be
springy, but level and firm.
The affected parts of the body should
be kept perfectly dry. Some chemical
should be used occasionally to harden
the skin. Alcohol Is perhaps the best,
and may be combined with some astrin-
gent, such as tannic acid This serves
to give tone to the parts and render
them more resistant-YoutlEs Compan-
Ion.

Watch and Pray.

n. L. Hastings tells of a general
who, after gaining a great victory, was
encamping with his army for the night.
He ordered watch to be kept all around
the camp as usual One of the senti-
nels, as he went to his station, grum-
bled to himself, and said, "Why could
not the general let us have quiet
nights rest for once, after beating the
enemy? I'm sure there is nothing to be
afraid Of"
The man then went to his station and
stood for some time looking about him.
1t was a bright night, with a harvest
moon, but as he could see no sign OF
danger anywhere, he said to himself, I
am terribly tired, shall sleep for just
five minutes, out of the moonlight, un-
der the shadow of this tree" SO he lay
down.
Presently he started up, dreaming
that some one had pushed a lantern be-
fore his eyes, and he found that the
moon was shining brightly down on
him through the branches of the tree
above him. The next minute an arrow
whizzed past his ear, and the whole
field before him seemed alive with sol
dlers In dark green coats, who sprang
up from the ground, where they had
been silently creeping onward, and rush.
ed toward him.
Fortunately the arrow had missed
him, so he shouted aloud to give the
alarm, and ran back to some other SEN
tinels The army to which he belonged
was thus saved, and the soldier said,
II shall never forget, as long as live,
that when one Is at war one must
watch"
Our whole life is war with evil.
Just after we have conquered It, 1t
sometimes attacks us when we least ex-
pect it Jesus says to us, watch any
pray, that ye enter not Into tempta-
ton"

How to Save Asphyxiated Per.on..

Asphyxiation is such frequent hap
pehing that every one should know Just
exactly what to do in an emergency. In
this condition there Is actual blood pol
soning. The Illuminating gas, escaping
freely, Joins with the colorlng of the
blood, so that the blood can no longer
take up oxygen. The first thing to be
done If you are In the room is to get
supply of fresh air, and that quickly.
II the window sticks, break 1t with q
chair, fiatiron or anything handy. II
nothing else offers, wrap any thick
cloth around your fist and use that.
If you are outside and have to 90 In,
wet a towel In cold water, bind closely
over nose and mouth after taking sew
eral long breaths Of fresh air, then go
in and get the window open. AS soon
as possible carry the patient to room
where the air Is fresh. If the patient
still breathes, apply hot and cold show
er baths alternately until he can take
a long breath. If the breathing has
entirely stopped, apply artificial res
