Some Birds That Don't Migrate.

1T is curious thing" said Prof.
Henry Bird, an ornithologist of Rye,
N. Y, at the Rennert that birds of
European origin do not adopt the mi,
gratory habits of our native birds, The
English sparrow never seems to get
wise to the advantages Of going south
in winter to avoid the rigors of a
northern climate, though he might get
the tip from our wild fowl or the
robin family. OF late years we have
had in Westchester county the starl
ing, also an English importation, and
notice that this newcomer follows out
the exact ways of his predecessor the
sparrow, in that he stays constantly
in one place, regardless of the sea-
sons. s."-Baltimor American.

Fools,

What do you suppose fools were
made for? That you might tread upon
them, and starve them, and get the
better of them in every possible way?
By no means. They were made that
wise people might take care of them.
That is the true and plain fact con-
cerning the relations of every strong
and wise man to the world about him.
He has his strength given him, not
that he may crush the weak, but that
he may support and guide them. In
his own household he is to be the
guide and support of his children; out
of his household he is still to be the
father that is, the guide and support
of the weak and the poor; not merely
of the meritoriously weak and the in
nocently poor, but of the guilty and
punishably poor; of the men who
ought to have known better; of the
poor who ought to be ashamed of
themselves.-JohnR Ruskin.

SPEED CONTESTS WITH BULLS
Form of Sport That Is Extremely Pop
ular in Burma.

A form of sport very popular in
Burma is bull racing. These contests
are largely attended by the natives,
who bet considerable sums of money

who owns one of these bulls, values it
at $4,000, and it is said to bring him
in an annual income of from $4,000 to

Sneezino as an Art.

a teacher who sneezes, but person
who teaches other people how to
sneeze. | had always understood that
New York attracts instructors in every
art known to modern education, but a
professor of sneezing struck me as a
decided novelty.
II am going to take few lessons.
The professor argues that he is a very
useful member of society, Nobody, he
claims, can prevent sneezing, no mat
ter how many formulas and medica-
ments may be absorbed. But though
sneeze may not be avoided it may
be cultivated, and from a stertorous
snort it may be modified into gentle,
melodious trill. For anybody who is
likely to startle the neighborhood with
freqent sneezes the experiment is well
worth while"

MUST PLEDGE GOOD BEHAVIOR.
Terms on Which Strangers May Enter
British House of Commons.

One of the most important altera-
tlons which members of the British
house of commons will notice when
they reassemble will be a strangers
bureau Its construction, which is now
in progress, is the sequel to the scenes
created by tse suffragettes in the
house during last session. In the
last month Cf the autumn session as
the result of their conduct no stranger
was seen within the house of COM
mons.
A committee was appointed to draw
up new rules for admission of
strangers. The members recommend
ed the passing of an act making it
criminal offense for strangers to brawl
within the chamber, and they also
recommended that strangers should
be made responsible for their own
good behavior and should sign a pa
per accepting that responsibility. That
being done the committee saw no REQ
son why women, as well as men,
should not be admitted to the
strangers gallery.
1t is in preparation for the change
that the new bureau is being made. AS
heretofore, tickets for the gallery will
be balloted for by members in ad-
vance.

Strength of Money.

When we consider the amount Of
wear and tear to which a bank note
is subjected, We ought to be able to
realize it's physical strength. In re-
cent experiment sheets were drawn
at random from piles of paper weigh
ing IA pounds to the ream. Each
sheet was halved and weighed, and
each half was folded double when
tested. One, offering 61 square inch
es, stood strain of 100 pounds. The
same-sized sheet, 16 pounds to the
ream, stood a strain of over 300
pounds. The average results of Crane
paper, IA pounds to the ream, with
sizing, were perpendicular strain
of 1-3 pounds to the square inch,
and transverse strain of AK pounds.

GOOD WORK AMONG FILlPlNos.
Women's Club Responsible for Amel.
ioration of Conditions.

The Philippine Women's club, the
first of its kind in the Philippines, is
struggling to supplement its work of
supplying sterili2ed milk to siclily, i'll
fed infants by establishing a small
maternity hospital and a training class
for maternity nurses. This club was
due to a suggestion from Miss Con.
cepcion Felix, who was at the time a
student of law and who in the course
OF her studies became interested in the
woman movement in the western
countries. This was in the summer of
1905, and Miss Felix's suggestion was
so enthusiastically received that a
club with membership of several
hundred native women was quickly
formed.
Having determined 10 establish a
center for the distribution of pure
milk, the club gave a garden party in
the palace grounds for the purpose of
raising the necessary funds. More
than $4,000 was cleared at this enter
tainment and the sterilizing apparatus
was imported from Paris. A building
was contributed by Dr. Doherty and
the work begun under the personal
supervision of number of well-known
Filipino physicians.
At present the number of children
cared for is between so and 75 The
sterilizing department is said to be a
little model of it's kind.

How to Get Thin.

When one has just begun to acquire
superfluous flesh complete abstinence
from sweets and starches, moderate
exercise either. indoors or out will eff
feet cure. The effort, however, must
be persistent, and the watchfulness
must continue even after the desired
weight has been reached. Spasmodic
efforts either at diet or exercise will
be absolutely without lasting results.
When ones weight has crept far be-
yond the normal amount the restraint
in diet must be more strenuous and
the exercise more violent.-Harper's

MAKES KNoTTY POINT IN LAW.
Owners of Property Have Right to For
bid Flight Of Airships.

A law framed thousands Of years
ago by the ancient Romans, and the
only one bearing on the subject, may
have to be amended or wholly nullified
before airships go shooting about
through space at their own sweet will.
This important fact was brought out
at meeting of aeronauts in London.
At present nobody has the right to fly
across occupied land The world is
governed by the ancient Roman law,
"Usque ad Coelum." 1t means that
every landowner has a right to the air
above his head as far up as he
chooses to go, and can get an injunc-
tion to restrain anyone from flying
through it. So far nobody has attempt
ed to put the law in force. 1t would
be most uncomfortable, not to say dis
astrous, for a farmer suddenly to
emerge from his barn or smokehouse
and pepper ones airship with bullets.
The fact that the aeronaut from his
lofty perch could not be expected to
see the mo Trespass" sign might not
prove mitigating circumstance with

HIGH IN CIVILIZATIONS SCALE.
Unknown Peoples Of America Who

Between the region occupied of old
by the Aztecs and the realm far to the
south over which the Incas ruled lies
an immense stretch Of territory,
thousand miles long and 800 wide.
where the remains Of unknown and
wonderful civilizations are being dis
covered, says a writer in Van Nor
dens Magazine. This region extends
from the northern boundaries of Peru
to the southern limits of Costa Rica.
In one section alone along the coast
of Ecuador six entirely unknown civili-
cations were recently brought to light
by Prof. Marshall II. Saville, and a
vast collection of relics has been
brought to New York. This collection
is to be the nucleus of a great Amer
lean museum, which will represent
the history of ancient peoples who at
tanned an extraordinarily high degree
of civilization, yet whose very exist
ence has been hitherto lost in an
tiquity.

LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE.
Firms Devote Summer Months to En-
joyment and Pursuit of Health.

In Finland everybody lives the sim
pie life in summer time. They camp
out on islands, in the forests and al
ways somewhere near the water, for
everybody swims and bathes. Almost
all classes sleep and eat al fresco at
this time of year, and the town coun-
ellis of the towns in this progressive
and altogether delightful little country
provide public fireplaces and public
bathing sheds in all places where the
working classes go in search of fresh
air.
But the simple life is by no means
dull with the frisky Films. They COM
bine it with a surprising amount of
gayety. They eat, drink and are merry
in their picturesque little log cabins
outside the cities.
When they are tired of bathing and
splashing they dance, they sing, they
watch fireworks and practice gymnas
tics, they all become like children and
are the happiest, merriest, most good
natured, most easily pleased and most
healthy holiday makers in the world.
