A Rain Of Quail.

Odessa.-The town of Nicolaief has
suffered from plague of quail. More
than 10000 birds, dead and alive, were
harvested in the town and suburbs af-
ter thunderstorm of exceptional vio
lence.
While the town was being Hum
mated by vivid lightning flashes, quail
dead or alive, were observed falling
helplessly and fluttering in nearly ev-
cry street and courtyard. Men, women
and children Immediately became OBJ
livious to the deluge and the danger
Of being struck by lightning. Even the
droschky drivers abandoned their
horses to join in the unturned skirts
OF their long gaberdines.
The unusual violence of the storm
must have beaten up in a myriad flock
the great numbers Of quail that haunt
the marshy and reedy reaches about
the confluence Of the Boug and the
lngul, which make peninsula of Nico-
laieff. The birds were evidently ex-
hausted by their enforced flight. and
many Of them were apparently killed
by the lightning.

Must Take Sunday Rest.

Berlin.-Sunday rest in Germany is
to be enforced in future more strictly
than hitherto, in pursuance of orders
from the minister of the interior. who
is determined that no labor, unless alb
solutely necessary. shall be done on
the Sabbath day. Factory inspectors
have been making inquiries into the
possibility Of closing the factories in
various branches of industry which
until now have been accorded permis.
sion to work seven days a week.
The result Of their activity has been
that the minister decided not to re-
new the permissions at the expiration
in large number of cases. Shops
are already closed on Sundays in both
towns and country during church hours
in the morning and evening, but the
question now under consideration ia
whether to allow in future only those
where necessary articles are on sale
to open for few hours on Sunday
morning.. The regulation will not az.

Harvest.

In . current humorous paper lady
on horseback is represented looking
over wall at q farmer. She says.
Il am SO glad you are going In for
wheat. Mr.. Hayrick! My husband
made a great deal OF money in It on
without intending 1t. the profound fact
that under all our material prosperity
lies the produce Of the earth: that
every man, from the farmer to th:'
master of the stock market, succeeds
or fails with the crops. One OF the
most promising American novelists.
who died in his prime, set for himself
the splendid imaginative task OF
tracing through series OF novels the
kernel Of wheat. from the field to the
loaf of bread. In his Epic OF the
Wheat" he attempted to tell in a new
kind of harvest fable the story OF mod
ern man. As far as he went, he did
succeed in making the kernel Of wheat
the heart Of a large section of our
highly complex life. The flooding in
Of millions Of bushels OF wheat about
his hero. who stands in the wheat
pit" In the stock exchange, is as pow
erful as the rush Of armies in the old
military epics. All summer long the
world watches the crop indications
There Is a shortage of grain-crops."
The cotton crop is moderate COM
pared with last year" AN improve
ment Of a hundred million bushels
was made in the corn crop in July"
Complicated by other forces not sure
ly discerned by the wisest statesman
and the shrewdest capitalist, these
crop reports swing the world up and
down. says Youths Companion. until
the harvest ia all in and the facts are
known. There is a momentary settle
ment In business and politics, the
world breathes a sigh Of relief. and
than all industry that depends on the
crops begins to hum. Harvest is a
great taking OF stock between the
coming In OF the raw materials OF life
and the winter months. when those
materials are converted to the mani.
fold uses Of man.

The city of Erie. Pa, has done well

the number of sick, wounded and dy-
Ing soldiers at Siboney, and the
scarcity Of doctors and nurses, made
I demand upon his sympathies which
ne could not resist. Four days and

he devoted himself to this humane
work, and then he collapsed. Dart.

DON'T piE-LivE ALWAYS.
You Are Only . Babe at 500 and Ole
at 1000 Yearsf

New York.-An amazed audience at
the West Side Y. NJ. c. A.. No. 3lS
West Fifty-seventh street, was told re-
Gently by Harry Gaze. lecturer from
London, that those present could live
100. 200, 1000 years or eternally. II
they would follow faithfully the simple
system Of Gaze's secrets Of perpetual
life.
Your are old because you think you
are old" said Gaze. Il am young be-
cause l think | am young. For the
main part keeping young Is only
mental process. You read in the Old
Testament and learned the allotted
span of life for man is three score and
ten years. 1t is fallacy. as are many
things in the Old Testament.
Il have been lecturing for fifteen
years and people tell me l look like a
kid do because have forgotten that
there is any such think as growing old.
| have refrained from worry and led a
clean life. That is all there is in the
secret of life.
DO you ever expect to die?" asked
one of Gaze's audience.
Il have died more than 100 times al
ready" he replied. This is not the
same body to which my mother gave
birth. l die after manner every few
months and am reborn-that is. my
strength, energy, brain and youth are
reborn that often. am simply reborn
more vigorous than ever before.
When man gets to be fifty he says
he is getting old. When he says SO he
holt Il @$ a It,
Ing more than the three score and ten
allotted years and as result does not.
He is old because, he thinks he is
and there is relaxation. II at sixty
he decided that he was young and
would live to be 200, would refrain
from worry and live cleanly, he would
live to that age"
Mr.. Gaze says he is going to remain
in New York long enough to teach So
ciety women who now use cosmetics
10 hide the marks Of years, his secret
of eternal youth. Incidentally. Gaze
believes that when the world is sufi-
ciently populated by persons who will
live forever, nature will see that gen.
Grafton ends. He declared that every
one in the audience was mere baby.
Il am ninety" said one man.
Just in your swaddling Clothes"
Gaze replied.
AS examples Of his theory Gaze
spoke OF a Frenchman now more than
ITO years old and of girl who was
placed in an English insane asylum.
She was twenty when committed. She
imagined her lover would remain
young until he come At seventy,
Gaze said, she looked to be only
twenty.
