Eighteen Lives.

Ida Lewis recently celebrated her
fftieth year as keeper of the Lime

Ida Lewis has lived a remarkable life.
Her bravery and skill ir handling a

How Birds Learn to Sinu.

Do young birds learn their songs by
direct imitation of their parents or is
the power of song an innate quality :?
Some observations made by w. H.
Hudson on a species of tinamou
(RhynchOtus rufescens) throw some
light on the question. This species
has a peculiar and characteristic song
or call of its own, and according to
Mr.. Hudson's observations, it does not
require to learn it. A young bird was
taken from the nest when just break.
ing the shell and brought up in a
house where it could never have had
the chance of hearing its parents. Yet
long before it was full grown it would
retire to a dark corner of the room
and give its characteristic song in
great perfection. Here the song must
have been innate. The experiments
of Hon. DANES harrington, in which
various species were reared under lin
nets, and learned and sang the linnet
song instead of their own, suggest, on
the other hand, that the young bird
learns by direct imitation.

CHARACTER in FACE
READING OF THE FEATURES NOW
AN EXACT SCIENCE.
Temperament and Disposition of In
dividuas Plainly Shown, Ac-
cording to Woman Who
Has Studied Sub bject.

The face as map of character and
disposition is the subject of an elab-
crate study by an English woman.
She holds that the reading of the fea-
lures can be reduced to an exact
science.
There is an elaborate classification
of eyes. Among the broad deduc-
tions is the dictum that dark eyes
invariably indicate a strong, passion
ate nature, while light blue ones show
a calculating, cool and resolute char
acter.
Light brown eyes are signs of in.
telligence, fancy, fickleness in love
and rapidly fuctuating tempera.
ment. A sure indication of oratorical
gift is projecting .eyes and they also
betoken literary skill in the use of
language,
A strongly developed nose is
mark of superior endowments. The
owner of big nose has more energy
than the owner of a small one. 3,
The nostrils also have their sig
nificance. Large nostrils indicate
courage; fttle ones, cowardice. Long
narrow onss show activity and bodily
vigor. Broad nostrils opening toward
the side show a prediction for
horses.
Mouth and lips are full of sug.
gestivenesS. The man with a hang
ing underlip is apt to lack perse-
verance and concentration of pur
pose. The modest individuals lower
lip is habitually pressed close against
the upper lip at the center
The chin and lower iawbone are
important indices of character. True
love is evident in face in which the
jawbone broadens clear back to the
level of the wisdom teeth. This is
true, both of men and women.
The youth who seeks an amiabe
spirit in his sweetheart must choose
girl with gently curving lower
lips and full and well rounded chin:
her eyes must be soft and brown. If
he desires great constancy, he must
look carefully to the spread of her
lower jaw. Economy is promised by
jaw. Economy is promised by
widening of the nose just above the
wings of the nostrils.
On the other hand, the young WON.
an who desires an Industrious hus.
band should choose a man with long
upper lip. If she desires even good
temper in her spouse. she had best
choose one with round face and curly
hair.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
treme precautions should be used to
Keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
II there is any suspicion of damp.
ness in a bedroom it is probably DUE
if there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of its dampness but also
because of it's power to retain infec-
ton of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
bastined wall is a perfect wall 1t
never flakes off, chips or peels. 1t ab-
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window sills should be thoroughly var
nished or waXed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

Sheep Rais:nu i- Australia.

The greatest industry of Australia is
sheep raising, mainly for the sake of
the wool, but also in part, of course,
for the meat. Australia now ranks
second among the great sheep-raising
countries, Argentina being first with
92,O0O,000 sheep, Australia . econd with
100000. and Russia third with TO
100000. Only few years ago Aus
tralia was first. possessing no less
than 106,260,00 head of sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause of the destruction of many
millions of Australian sheep, but since
1902 there has been an annual gain.
Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro
duced in 1897, being of the Spanish
merino species.

Greensburg, Ind. May 1.-The bitter

assault on Mrs. Seton, eighty years old,
last Saturday night, caused q race riot
here last night. Six negroes were badly
beaten, one of whom may die. The mob
was formed by three white men and rap
idly increased to 500 men. All saloons and
other places frequented by negroes were
visited and the furniture and fixtures de-
molished. Negroes found in the places
were beaten II warned to leave town.
The authorities finally induced the crowd
to dispense after promising that all ne

to leave Many negroes nave already de-
parted and others will be notified by the

Little Rhody's Celebration.

On May 1 Rhode Island celebrated
the one hundred and thirty-frst ami.

hoped that before long she will muster
up courage enough to declare her indie

have made her politics a hiss and by

of them are not in strictly prime con-

ever. The senatorial deadlock which
leaves her with only one senator of
the United States was simply a dead
lock among moneybags. Some folks
