The late Senator Pcttus of Alabama
was "Forty.niner." going overland
TO California in the early days and en-.
gaging In placer mining. He took with
him on that long and tedious journey
three books, the Bible. Shakespeare
and Burns poems.
He said OF them at one time not
long since: II read the Bible from
cover to cover: read the side notes:
rend the captions Of the chapters: ]
learned great parts Of II by heart. and
haven't forgotten them yet. learned
many Of Burns poems by heart and
much OF Shakespeare In the same way.
too" Such reading of these three
books was an education in itself. It
is not likely that many miners en-
gaged in that search for wealth spent
their leisure in as profitable n way.

eoshawk's Changing pIumaae.

I know no bird which passes
through so many changes OF plumage
and color OF eyes as the goshawk.
A young one which have mounted
is about the size OF small hen and
is covered with white down. His
eyes are pale blue. colored the eyes
exactly from life. When fully grown
the FIRST plumage is dark brown above
and the eyes are pale yellow. No
one would be likely to suspect this
being goshawk who had only seen
adult birds.
Later It changes to the dark shady
blue OF the adult, and the eyes, after
passing through all the intermediate
changes in color from straw yellow,
orange yellow and pink, finally as.
sumo the deep rich red of the adult
