A SHORT STORY HOLDER.

The wife of a physician devised a
way by which tedious waits in her
husbands outer office were made
much more bearable. She pro-
vided herself with several medium
sized scrap books, not too bulky to
handle easily. In these she pasted
stories, old and new, that in the
course of wide reading she had cut
from magazines, says the New
York Press.
The stories were arranged under
different headings, as telepathic,
detective, love problem, dialect.
In this way one could easily find
the kind of literature that was
liked.
There was a special book or two
for children filled with pictures,
funny rhymes and fairy tales, that
kept many a small patient peace
full until the doctor appeared.
A short story scrap-book, if
bound in a handsome cretonne or
silk cover, with the initials of the
owner, makes delightful gift for
a seml-invalid, or will be appre-
ciated by any woman if it is good
looking enough to lie on the draw
lng-room table and pacify her
callers while waiting for their
hostess to appear.

AHAPPY FAMILY.

A Manayunk woman going to
her mouse trap the other morning,
found a mouse i'll it, with six lit
tie mice as we'll. They had, of
course, been born after their
mothers capture-an amazing
thing. But more amazing still
was the fact that they lay in a
small, round nest, like bird's-a
nest made of bits of paper, thread i,
and shreds of linen and flannel.
The woman, instead of drown
ing forthwith the mother and her
brood, retired, and from the next
room watched the trap. Her
watch was soon rewarded. An
other mouse trotted out with great
caution, thrust a straw through
the bare, aud few moments later
returned with a shred of pink cal
leo. The captive mother, with
these contributions, proceeded to
complete her nest.
This incident so moved the wo-
man that on retiring that night
she put fine piece of cheese in
the trap and opened the tiny door.
When she came down in the morn
ing, the mother, her young, and
the cheese were gone; the nest
alone remained to witness the truth
of her tale.-Philadelphia Bull

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FOR BIRDS.
lengthens Their Day, Giving Them
More Time fer Feeding.

Winter has always proved a trying
time for rare and delicate birds i'm the
geological gardens One interesting
theory has been advanced, that owing
to the long nights in these attitudes
in winter the poor birds do not feed
long enough during the day TO keep
body and soul together" In The old
insect house some good was effected
by inducing the birds to feed before
dawn with the aid of powerful motor
lamp which was placed there an hour
in the winter.
In the new small birdhouse, says the
London Daily Mail, an elaborate in.
candescent gaslight installation has
just been completed It is controlled
from outside and at six O'Clock in the
morning a Waterman switches on the
lights
Immediately chorus of SONGS
breaks out from the aroused birds,
which start breakfast Immediately.
This extra feeding time has already
produced good results in the shape of
improved condition of the birds of par.
adise, mynahs and other rare tropical
birds in the house

Phenomena Awed Europe.

Europe and Asia we're covered by
fog during the summer Of 1888. Says
Gilbert White Oetter 1907: "The sum-
mer of the year 1888 was an amazing
and portentous one for, be-
sides the alarming meteors and tremen-
dous thunderstorms the Pc
culiar haze, or smoky fog. that pre-
vailed for many weeks in this island
(England) and In every part Of Eu-
rope, and even beyond its limits, was
a most extraordinary appearance. The
heat was intense. Calabria and part
of the Isle of Sicily were torn and
convulsed with earthquakes" Cowper
also refers to this phenomenon, In
speaking of nature, with. dim and

Work for the Unemployed.

Lack of employment is not a new
question. Says the Liverpool Mercury
of February IA, 1912: 1T is of the
highest Importance that q committee
OF the legislature should Immediately

want Of employment among the labor
ing classes. and whether means might
not be found in nation OF which the
revenue is immense by which a sue

There were at that time, nearly 100 years
ago, 10000 unemployed in Liverpool

TREE HOUSES OF THE PAPUANs.

DuELs AMONG suDANEsE ARABS.
w. &c Pastoral Life Doesn't Always
lead to Peace and Quiet.

The country to the southeast of
Tekar, in Africa, is the home of the
Hasas; the Hadendoas occupy the
khors to the south and the plateau to
the southwest Both of these are
black Arabs, speaking different Ian
guages.
The Hasas live almost entirely on
sour milk, while the Hadendo"' are
agricultural as we'll as pastoral Their
dokhn and durra, miIletlike grains,
were ripening in February and being
protected from countless swarms of
small birds by men who stood on ele-
waited platforms, from which they
cracked loudly large whips with palm
leaf lashes 90 feet long.
The dress of these Arabs is a cotton
sheet held in by a belt in which they
carry crooked knives. For other weap-
ons they use sticks, spears and
swords. Firearms are prohibited.
Judging by the many scars borne by
the men the pastoral life is by no
means so peaceful as the poets would
lead us TO think. Many of the scars
come from suels, in which the men
cut each other alternately in the back
till one cries Enough"

Washington, May 22.-That Senator
Bailey was today still smarting under
some of the wrongs he thought had
been inflicted upon him in the senate
yesterday was made evident when he
entered the senate chamber early to-
day. Just before adjournment yester-
day he. had again unavaillngly sought
to obtain an agreement to vote upon
an income tax amendment to the tar
If bill and this failure was immedi-
ately followed by another which con-
sisted in the refusal on the part of
the senate to adjourn over from Friday
until Monday to permit the senators
whose general official business is run
ming behind to catch up. In both of
these matters he was balked by Sem
ator Aldrich, in charge of the tariff
bill.
