THE USEFUL YAWN.
This Lung yeutflattng Process Serves
Double Purpose.

The act of yawning Is distinctly bene-
fetal in two ways. In the first place
II serves the purpose of lung yentila-
ton. The lungs are not filed or ex-
hausted by ordinary respiration. There
is certain quantity of air which phys
biologists call residual air" left in tho
recesses of the lungs after the ordinary
respiration. This in time becomes witt
ated and affects the blood and, through
Ii, the nervous centers.
The result is yawn, which Is really
a stretching of the respiratory chamber
to its fullest capacity and the filling
Of it with freshly inspired air which
drives the vitiated air out Yawning Is
also beneficial In so far as 1t opens.
stretches and ventilates the vocal, IA
sal and auditory chambers in immedi-
ate connection with the mouth.
The cracking sound often heard when
yawning is due to the stretching and
opening of the eustachian tubes. which
form communication between the
middle ear and the back OF the throat.
The deafness which often accompanies
a cold is due to the congestion Of these
tubes.-London Hospital.

THE GOCCFINCH.
Changes In Plumnge That Are Pug
cling to the Novice.


Most every one in America is &C
quainted with the goldfinch, but many
people know the bird by the name of
lettuce bird, on account OF its bright
yellow color. Goldfinch is n very appro-
pirate name, as the bright yellow of
the male, when in breeding plumage, is
like FURNISHED gold. The female gold
finch is more modestly dressed than
her mate. The changes in plumage of
the male are very interesting and to
the novice somewhat puzzling. Until
the student becomes acquainted with
the bird he may wonder why he sees
no males during the winter. The truth
is, at this season the f1ocks of supposed
female goldfinches are really of both
sexes, the male bird having assumed
in the previous foil, usually by the end
of October, a plumage closely resem-
bling that Of the female and young
bird of the year. The male retains this
inconspicuous dress until late in Feb
ruary, when one can notice a gradual
change taking place in some of the
birds. This renewal of feathers is &C.
lively continued through March and
April, and by the LIST of May our re-
splendent bird is with US again. The
song period with the male goldf1nch

early as the middle Of March and ends
late in August. Goldfnches are very

HIS EQUAL IN HEIGHT.

Lincoln's Pleasant Little Interview
With a Coal HEAVIER.
When Lincoln was on his way to as
sumo the Office of president the train
was delayed at Freedom, Pa, by an
accident to a freight train that was a
little way ahead. Lincoln was accom-
panied by Major Sumner and Colonel
Elmer Ellsworth Of the celebrated regi-
ment OF Zouaves. Neither Major Sum-
ner nor Colonel Ellsworth was tall, and
as they stood beside Lincoln on the rear
platform while he made his address
they looked shorter than they really
were. At the close of Lincoln's short
speech a coal HEAVIER called out, ABE.
they say you are the tallest man in the
United States, but 1 don't believe you
are any taller than I am" Lincoln re-
piled, Come up here and let us meas
ure." The coal HEAVIER pressed his way
through the crowd and climbed on the
platform, where Lincoln and he stood
back to back. Turning to Colonel Ellis
worth, Lincoln said, (which is the tall
err"
Colonel Ellsworth, being so much
shorter, could not tell, so he climbed on
the guard rail and, putting his hand
across the top of the heads of the two
men, said, 81 believe they are exactly
the same height" Then Lincoln and
the coal beaver turned around and
faced each other. The crowd shouted
loudly when Lincoln took the black,
sooty hand Of the coal HEAVIER in his and
gave a hearty handshake to the man
who was his equal-in height.-Thomas
FL. Tibbles in Success Magazine.

LINCOLN'S DISPOSITION.
Ordinarily Cheerful, Ii Held q Strain
of Deep Melancholy.

Hopeful and cheerful as he ordinarily
seemed, there was in Mr. Lincoln's dis.
position a strain of deep melancholy.
This was not peculiar to him alone. for
the pioneers as race We're somber
rather than gay. Their lives had been
passed for generations under the most
trying physical conditions, near malaria
infested streams and where they breath
ed the poison of decaying vegetation.
insufficient shelter. storms, the cold of
winter. savage enemies and the cruel
labor that killed OFF all but the hardest
Of them had at the same time killed the
happy go-lucky gayety of an easier
form of life. They We're thoughtful.
watchful. wary; capable, indeed, or
wild merriment, but it has been said
that although pioneer might laugh he
could not easily be made to smile.
Lincoln's mind was unusually sound
and sane and normal. He had a cheer
full. wholesome, sunny nature, yet he
had inherited the strongest traits Of the
pioneers, and there was in him, more
over, much of the poet, with a poets
capacity for joy and pain. 1t is not
strange that as he developed into man
hood, especially when his deeper nature
began to feel the STRINGS of ambition
and of love. that these seasons Of de-
preston and gloom came upon him
with overwhelming force.-Helen Nico-
lay in st. Nicholas.

THE BARK OF TREES.
Natures Provision For the Relief OF
the Growing Plant.

Natures Provision For the Relief of
the Growing Plant.
The practical cultivator understands
that nature makes provision for getting
rid Of the bark Of trees as the trunk in
creases in size. On the growth of the
past season may be seen small olive
spots. These are formations of cork.
From year to year. in subsequent de-
velopment. these little patches spread.
really eating their way through the
bark. This is the provision which ma
ture makes for finally rifting the bark
in each species of plant These cork
cells have their own special lines Of de-
velopment, and this is the reason why
each kind of tree has its own particular
bark. The characteristics are so prom
inent that clever observers can select
different kinds Of trees by their bark
even at midnight. AS II is the evident
intention Of nature to get rid Of old
barES. it is great help to the tree to as
