Simply talk TO him good deal.
Place his cage near you on your desk

fingers Let him know that he can
never have that particular thing unless
he takes Ii from You. and he will soon

upon him.

AS soon rs he becomes really con

to his boundless curiosity about you.
He will pull your hair, pick at your

whv Water ouenches Thirst.

Thirst a word of Anglo-SaXon origin
and akin to the Latin torreo and our
torrid or parched, describes peculiar
sensation of dryness and heat located
In the tongue and throat Artificial
thirst may be produced by the passage
of current of air over the mucous
membrane of these parts. but normal
thirst is the consequence of lack of
liquid in the system. The agony OF ex-
IRENE thirst Is due to the fact that all
the tissues sympathize In this distress
1t Is then us refreshing relief that
Il supply Of water comes to thirsting
lips. replacing what has been lost, cool
ing the pnrched palate and rapidly
removing the craving which has de
pressed the system. In short. water
quenches thirst just because 1t supplies
what at the moment Is wanting and Is
most eagerly desired. so that Solomon
could properly compare the gift OF
cold waters to a thirsty SOUP TO the
advent of good news Thirst Is to
some extent appcased by the injection
of water into the blood or body, though
no fluid touches the part 20 which the
sensation Is referred.

Balloons and Eaales.

About HE invention Of air navigation

Jakob kicserer; published at the ex-
peuse of the author by Herr Loeschen-
kohl, kohlmarkt. Vienna. 1901" 1t Is
an elaborate treatise on aviation In
which II balloon is steered through the
air by eagles which have been trained
and deprived Of their talons." Minute
instructions are given as to how the
birds should be harnessed, and sugges-
tions are made as to the employment
Of double teams and relays. The au-
thor-inventor expresses the hope that
his idea may be employed first to ex-
pedite the delivery of letters and dis
patches and that persons competent as
trainers of giant birds will carry his
wonderful idea" into execution.

STUDY OF JAPANESE.
Difficulties of the Spoken and the
Written Language.


Army officers who are thinking Of
taking up The study OF japanese should
pause before they attempt the task
and ask themselves whether they have
a peculiarly strong linguistic aptitude.

very difficult. The Ango-Sa xons who
growl about the difficulties of our spell.

go what the subject of the mikado suf-
fers In the matter Of language.
1t takes Japanese child seven years
to learn the essential parts of the
alphabet There are pa signs which
tiers In English dictionaries. Then
after you have tracked down In one Of
these 24l signs some part OF the char
acter for which you are about to
make search you still have veri-
table darkest Africa ahead of you.
The pompous first personal pronoun Is
avoided whenever II is possible in
speaking japanese. II 1t must be
used 1t Is introduced casually, but gen.
orally the abstract noun "selhshness"
serves In Its stead.
For example. a japanese would not
say. Il don't drink wine," but wine

enough. .Selishness wine don't drink"

On the other hand, THAT beautiful

over, any one who wishes to learn
japanese must be prepared to learn
two languages-the written and the

Prairie Fires Frequent.

Saturday morning about 10
O'Clock a big delegation of fire
| fighters was hurried to the south
west OF town, to curb what threat
ened to be a bad prairie fire.
The two chemical engines We're
taken along, and by their aid,
although with considerable effort
the fire was successfully put out.
1t was a hot morning, and this
bit of kindness to rural neighbors
demanded many a drop of pers-
piration-but when the boys came
back, fairly out of breath and as
dust begrimmed as an automobile
race, they seemed to have enjoyed
the sensation and made the most
of it.
Both Saturday and Sunday
prairie fires started at various
points along the railroad on both
sides. 1t is claimed that these
fires were started by passing en-
gines, some of which appear to
be badly in need of repair as to
their spark sieves. Thus far the
damage seems to be nominal,
thanks to the vigilance of the
country side, but as it is, the
range is in daily peril of some
sweeping disaster, to avert which
is just now solemn duty.
Railroad officials claim that the
road has done everything that
the law demands in South Dakota
and, as to North Dakota, there
is no law to be complied with. -
And so, there you are. Let us
hope there may be no occasion
where the railroad Twill have to
be shown.'
Heavy smoke clouds to the east
today indicate a bad prairie fire
between ThunderhaWk and Nor
rlstoWn, and information is to the
effect that the fire is beyond
control, racing before the heavy
wind just now prevailing.

A hunting permit is not needed
by the person hunting on his own
land, but otherwise hunter
must have on his person a hunt
ing permit, costing one dollar, if
he is a resident, while non-res-
ident hunters will have to secure
a license for game birds at SIS
and for game animals at S25.
The penalty for hunting with
out license is from S25 to S1OO,
another section providing that the
penalty for each game bird killed
unlawfully is from $40 to $1OO.

and had then gone with his friend
Bonskald to the latter's place.
Both were in bed when the fatal
shock descended. Bonskald was
struck also, but managed to revive
sufficiently to drag himself to a

which stood close by receiving
