The Snow Flower.

A traveller in Siberia tells us abont ii
wonderful plant found in the northern
part of that country. where the ground
Is perpetually covered with coating
OF frost and snow. 1t is called the
snow flower, and the description OF It's
birth and its short life reads like u
fairy tale. He says 1t shoots out OF the
frozen soil on the first day OF the year
and attains height of three feet. on
the third day it blooms, remaining
open for only twenty four hours. Then
the stem. the leaves and the flower are
converted into snow-in other words.
the plant goes back into Its original ell
ements. The leaves are three in nun.
Der, and the flower is star shaped. On
the third day, the day the bloom ap-
pears, little specks appear on the ex.
tremities of the leaves. They are about
the size of the head of pin and are
the seeds of the flower 1t is said that
some of these seeds were gathered
once and taken to st. Petersburg.
where they were buried in bed Of
snow. The first of the following year
the plant burst forth and bloomed Just
as 1t does in Siberia.

Trained Too Well.

In Baltimore the rule of the trans

over the age of five years must pay
full fare, those under that age being
carried free.
One afternoon not long ago there
were among the passengers on a
Charles street car a woman and her
son, the latter big boy Of apparently
seven years, but who was held in his
mothers lap as II he were baby.
Presently the lad grew FESTIVE.
''Mommer, mommer" he murmured,
'say. mommer"
The mother, with a premonition Of
impending danger, tried to silence the
youngster, but to no avail, for he con
tinued to cali upon his ''mommer."
Finally the woman asked, well,

Eeelina Hat and Cold.

The principal reasons that we feel
objects that are cold when brought in
contact with the skin quicker than
those that are warm is that the skin.
being very poor conductor OF heat,
absorbs heat slowly from an object of
a higher temperature than itself, while
other objects which are cooler and
which in nearly every instance are
better conductors of heat than the skin
absorb heat readily from the skin, and
hence sensation of cold is felt ut

ANIMAL TRAITS.
Reminders In the Foal and the Calf Of
Their Wild Ancestors.

Reminders In the FoaI and the Calf of
Their Wild Ancestors.
1t is an interesting study to note in
domestic animals the traits Of their
wild ancestors. There are some char
acteristics, of course, which are readily
recognizable as being similar to those
of animals still in a wild state, and
for this reason they give a fair idea of
the life and surroundings Of progeni-
tors. The habits of the dog and cat
are too familiar to comment on, but
take the foal and compare his traits
with those of the calf.
The foal when few days old can
gallop as fast as he ever can in after
life. He never leaves the dam and
takes nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding full meal, which would i'm
pede swift escape. In lying down no
attempt is made at concealment, and
when he stands his head is held high.
These habits show that the animals
ancestors spent their lives in the open
and not in the forests and that they
were great travellers.
The calf, OH the contrary, fills him
self with milk and is poor traveller.
When danger approaches his first i'm
pulse is to conceal himself. He holds
his head low in order to look under
the branches of the forest. All his
characteristics point to the fact that
the ancestral home of cattle was in a
moist wooded country, while the
primeval horse roamed the plains

WING SHOOTING.
Il Cannot Be Taught to Hunters by
READING Books.

IL Oanhoe BE au9nt TO nunterS py
Reading Books.
Wing shooting can no more be theo-
retically taught than can riding, skat-
ing, sailing a boat, milking a COW or
playing the violin. Practice and perse-
verance in this, as in all field sports,
can alone make perfect, while the most
persistent effort even then often fails
to make "crack shot" Certain rules,
however, must govern the beginner,
which, If observed, will materially aid
him in becoming an expert.
When a novice takes the field for
game he is very apt to become flus-
tered, or ratified" at the critical mo-
ment when the bird is flushed, and
then he will stare, open mouthed, and
wonder how it happened. This often
occurs in the field, and the tyro invari-
ably has some plausible excuse to Of
fer. His ''gun was not cooked" he
''stubbed his toe just as the bird rose"
or some equally weak explanation is
made, or else he lays all the blame on
his dogs. whose thoughts, could they
but express them, it would be interest
ing to interpret.
The best wing shooters do not close
one eye in aiming, nor do they follow
the bird in its flights with the muzzle
of the gun, but closing one eye is adj
mittedly better than tightly shutting
both, as many young would be sports
men have been known to do-James
