vantages of sleeping in the open air
are enormous. Pallid cheeks take on
a ruddy hue, colds are unknown,

Wanderinas Of a seanuII.

On Oct. 2S last there was shot at
Oushy. on Lake Leman, seagull, aged
about 16 months, which was found to
be wearing on its claw a silver ring
engraved with the words 'Vogel Sta
tion, Rossiten 90" Rossiten is situ-
ated on the Lido of the Courland la.
COON. between Konigsberg and Memel,
in the Baltic, 1900 klometers from
the Lake of Geneva. NJ. Florel, of
Lausanne, communicated with DIR. J.
Thienemann, director of the ornitho-
logical station at Rossiten. According
to the latest notes the full No. 20 was
hatched there and was marked with
the ring when a few weeks old, before
1t could fly. on July 4, 1905. 1t seems
probable that IL had thus made two
winter migrations before It fell vic
time to the human barbarian.-Ne

Close Confinement.

The new phonograph had just ar
rived, and in her husbands absence,
Mrs. Jones thought she would give her
parrot a treat, so she set the machine
working on a record of "In Old Ma
drid,' sung by Mr.. Jones in his best
style
At the very first bar Polly opened
her eyes in surprise, and rocked her
self to and fro in deep and speechless
wonder.
She was evidently thinking deeply,
and her excitement was intense. She
cooked her head on one side, with an
expression that indicated interested
conjecture, and irritation at not ar
riving at a satisfactory conclusion.
AS the song finished, an idea dawned
upon her
We'll" said Mrs. Jones with pride,
what do you think of that Polly?"
Then the bird found words:

Lono Time TO sweep.

Everything, even a magnificent
church, must be regarded from the
point of view of the beholder. A Lon
don paper says that two country girls,
who acted as il they might be enjoy
ing n holiday from domestic service,
we're observed walking down the
aisles of st. Paul's Cathedral. Under
the great dome one of them stood
and gazed around her with an air of
such wonder that a spectator might
well suppose that she was awestruck
by her solemn surroundings. But
when she spoke. the idea was dissi-
nated. "Oh. Sarah," she exclaimed,
wouldn't this place take long time
to sweep?"

The Tell Tale Voice

eff you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm ard straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But IL he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing YOU"
