The kosof Birds.

Birds of very small size and slen-
dor build not only live to very old
age, but in their old age are freer
from accidents and sign of senility
than is always the case among ami
mails. 1t used to be said that crows
and carrion crows lived over 100
wears. If this statement seems rath-
er exaggerated, there is no question
that well known naturalistS speak
of crows of fifty. sixty and even sew
enty years old. Eagles, horned owls
and herons attain similar ages, and
Mr.. Gurney, the English naturalist,
cites a condor of fifty-two years old,
a horned owl of si1ty-eight and a
roval eagle that died in its fifty
sixth year. But the record of lon
gevity undoubtedly belongs to the
parrot. NJ. Abrahams declares an
Amazon parrot reached the ripe old
age of 102 years, and Frenchman,
NJ. Lepaillat, tells us of a parrot,
Jacko by name, that had lost its
memory at sixty, its sight at ninety
and had died at ninety-three.-Par-

Building Walls I With Bags.

The practice of constructing
breakwaters and the submerged
parts of piers with concrete enclosed
in bags has been largely developed
in Scotland. The concrete is pre-
pared a. near as possible to the place
where It is to be used. 1t is inclosed
in bags to protect it temporarily
from the effects of contact with the
sea water while it is lowered into
place. The bags are placed in a
box suspended directly over the
spot where they are to lie. The
touching of a trigger opens the box
and allows a bag to drop out. A
line of bags having been deposited,
the longer axis Of each bag in the
next series is so arranged that the
meeting edges of two of the bags in
the lower row will be covered. Thus
a regular wall is built up, and as the
concrete hardens it becomes solid
and immovable.

Some Pockets.

"Most people know what 'poach-
er's pocket is, but how many have
heard of a music pocket?" said a
tailor. "Many professional singers
have their overcoats fitted with such
a receptacle. Usually they are
placed in the back of the coat just
above the waist line and will hold
half a dozen pieces of music with
out crushing. Some detectives, too,
have their business suits fitted with
a handcuff pocket in the sleeve.
The special advantage of this is that
the manacles can be withdrawn un-
seen. When an obstreperous pris-
oner sees the officers hand seeking
a pocket he knows what is coming
and acts accordingly, But with the
special pocket the bracelets are out
and snapped on his wrists before he
can resist.
Gone of my customers makes a
point of having his trousers lined
with leather from the knee down.
ward. Why? Because a dog once
bit him severely in the calf, and he
doesn't want it to happen t"iee." -

There 10 an Order Higher Still.

You are set in an age when the
material civilization of the world
has been piled up to gigantic
height, to testify that: there is an
order higher still; that as the soul is
more than the body and eternity
than time, so the moral order is
above the material; that justice is
above power; that justice may SUI
fer long, but must reign at last;
that the power is not right; that no
wrongs can be sanctifrd By success,
nor can the immutable laws of right
and wrong We confounded.-Cardi-

GAlN IS LOYAL.
The Plant Will Grow Only In Certain
Sections Of the South.


Many persons whose interest is
attracted daily by the wreaths OF
dark green or bronze foliage labeled
"gala1 leaves" at the doors OF the
florists shops probably do not know
that the plant from which these
leaves are picked is one of the most
loyal and truly American to be
found. In fact. the galax root re-
fuses to grow in any other soil than
that OF the United States.
Not only is the galay American.
but i; is barn and bred southern.
1t will no more flourish outside OF
Dixie than in an alien soil. Few
plants are restricted in growth to
so narrow an area. In small Sec
tion OF rugged country in the Ap-
palachian mountain range, where
the c, rners of Virginia, North Caro-
lima, ieorgia and Tennessee run up
together, the gala1 clusters grow in
profusion. They are indigenous to
this region, elevated many thou
sands Of feet above. sea level, and,
although many attempts have been
made to introduce the plants in
other parts of the United States
and in foreign lands as well, the e1-
periments have always proved fu-
tile. Neither will the gala1 thrive
in the hothouse. Only the rare air
and mountain loan of its native soil
seem adapted to its growth.
Accordingly since the discovery
of the value Of galax leaves for dec
orative purposes hundreds of tons
of them have been sent to the
northern markets from their native
corner in the mountains, where dur
ing certain seasons whole families
devote themselves to gathering and
packing them for shipment. There
are many points in favor of the use
Of the gsla1 in decorative schemes.
A dark green during the summer
months and a rich bronze after be-
ing touched By the frost. the leaves
retain their hues for weeks, after
they are gathered. Furthermore,
they are very hardy, permitting
rough and ready packing, which
renders their shipment inexpensive.
They retain their freshness and col
: or for a long time without being
kept in water.
Possessing these qualities, it was
only natural that the gala1 should
have come at once into favor for the
Frightening of rooms and the dec
grafton of tables. Carloads of the
leaves are shipped into the north
not only for sale in New York, Phil
adelphia and other centers, but also
to be transferred to steamships and
carried abroad.-New York Sun.

Out In Iowa they Raise that Kind and
Buy II In Themselves.

Ten dollars seems pretty
big price to pay for just one ear
of corn, but out in Iowa they
raise corn which brings even
more than that. 1t is not un.
common for a man out there to
raise corn which he cannot at
ford to OWL.
Improbable as this sounds, IT
is true, and the explanation is
that prize ears of seed corn be-
came the property of the asri-
cultural courses where they are
exhibited. They are then sold
at auction and the man who
raised them does not always
feel that he can afford to bid
them in.
That was precisely what hap.
pened to an Iowa farmer named
Mccullough not long ago. he
entered a good many ears OF
corn in the competition held at
Marshalltown under the man
aeement of the State Agricultur.
al College. Over 5000 ears
were entered and one of McCul'
lough's won first prize.
The prize was a $3.50 water
supply system, so the farmer
probably felt that he could af-
ford to bid in the prize ear for
sl1 50. But when it came to
buying back eighty other ears
which he had entered he had to
let them 20 to Others.
Those eighty ears brought
$2O4.5O. so that, provided he
could have sold the eighty.one
ears of corn tor what they actu'
ally brought, s2l6, he could have
bought his prize water supply
system and had $66 left.
GF Howard won 500 with a
single ear of corn in the same
competition and paid $40 for the
ear to get it back. For ten 9TH
er ears which he entered he had
to bid up to $41.75 for the lot in
order to get them.
Thirteen bushels of the corn
that was entered brought an
average of S3O.5o bushel. To-
wa farmers have walked up to
the importance of improving
their crops by improving the
seed. The consequence is that
Iowa raises the finest corn in the
country and is constantly i'm
proving the quality and the
quantity to the acre.

THE FIRST RUBBER SHOES.
They Melted In Summer and Became
Brittle In Winter.

Brittle In Winter.
India rubber shoes were first
manufactured in Roxbury, Mass, in
1883, and verify they were fearful
ly and wonderfully made" They
really bore no resemblance what
ever to a shoe. They had the ap-
pearance of having been run into
molds or blown, the same as glass
bottles are made. They were Aade
of pure rubber gum. No attempt
was made to initiate the shape OF
the shoe or foot they were intended
to cover. In shape they were hol-
low tubes, tapering toward the toe.
At the place where the, opening
to pull on the overshoe should be
was an irregular hole, without
shape, just as they came from the
mold. The hole was enlarged with
a sharp pair of shears to fit the in
step or cut high or low to suit the
taste or caprice Of the customer.
The work was done by the salesman
after the buyer had selected. accord
ing to his requirements, heavy or
light, thick OF thin. Mems sizes
were very heavy, the soles being
frequently from one-fourth to a
, half inch in thickness. They were
tied in pairs and stuffed with straw
or hay to keep them in shape for
shipment. A lady's foot, incased in
such a huge, i'll shaped mass of india
rubber gum, Weighing at least a
pound, presented a clumsy appear
ance indeed, particularly when COM
pared with the light and truly ar
tistic appearance of the present
styles.
The first attempt at making over
shoes Of india rubber did not prove
Ga success, a large amount of capital
being sunk in the experiment, as
we'll as all the unsold stock. They
answered the purpose in cold wealth
or, but would not stand the heat,
melting into a disgusting mass.
Experiments to remedy this diff
Guilty resulted in reaching the oppo-
site extreme, the cold weather
freezing them brittle, so they could
not be drawn over the shoe until
they were thoroughly warmed, and
this obstacle to success was not
overcome until Charles Goodyear
discovered his process of vulcaniz-
ing rubber, which has rendered his
name immortal
Rapidly following this era of i'm
provements, the india rubber shoe
began to assume beauty of proper
tions and practical utility. - St
Louis Post-Dispatch.
