Here is story as told by gentle
man who spends the greater portion
of his time studying the habits OF
birds:
A humming bird with an angry dash

ence of a big bumblebee in the same
tree. The usually pugnacious bee in

the tree. He darted back and forth

In short, the bird and the bee con-

FOR HIcHsTRUNG NERVES.

Americans, as a people, are prob
ably the most nervous of any in the
world, and there is a growing ten
dency to use ''bracers"-a use which
quickly develops into habit. With
men it is usually a drink and with
women some bromide preparation.
Tea and coffee are also called upon
to a large extent, but their effects
are slight.
Probably the best ''bracer" for
the nerves-and one which is GER
tainly harmless-is cold water. The
Russians have great faith in this
cure, splashing it over the face and
holding the hands in it for several
minutes. Then a glassful is slipped
slowly. The Japanese prescription
is a glass of hot milk slipped very
slowly, and many English physicians
indorse that remedy. The milk
should be as hot as the patient can
stand it.
A number of the best French doc
tors advise such of their patients as
suffer from nerves to sit quietly for
half an hour with bare feet.

TAKE CARE OF CLOTHES.
Proper Treatment Will Add Much to
Their Usefulness.

I know many men who would be
quite well dressed If they would only
refrain from numbering up their peck
cts; in fact, l wonder that some tall
ors do not send home printed warn
ing with each suit: This suit Is NOS
constructed to carry heavy weights"
Take those bundles of papers out OF
your inside pockets and button your
coat up and you will find that you
look much better than you do now.
You have stretched the coat bit out
of shape, but it may recover itself.
Remember to take everything out
of the suit and fold 1t up. That is the
only fair treatment for good suit,
Clothes are warmed by the body
while they are being worn, and while
they are warm they get nodded into
shape. If you always keep one pocket
loaded with a handful of loose change
and another pocket weighted with a
huge bundle of keys, those pockets
will become permanently damaged.
Possibly you may have noticed that q
new suit never looks quite SO well
as suit that has been worn half q
dozen times; that is because the new
suit has not been warmed by being
worn, and therefore the cloth IL not
nodded to the shape of the figure. A
new coat should always be worn but
toned up for the first few days.-Chi'
