Birds, Muscular Power.

Birds are possessed OF enormous
muscular power, far exceeding in some
cases that of any other warm blooded
creature. There is an instance on rec
ord Of an eagle weighing no more than
fourteen pounds lifting and carrying
off a young pig which weighed no less
than forty-two pounds. How many
men could even stagger along the
ground carrying three times their own
weight in their hands? The kick Of
an ostrich Is a fearsome thing. l,
will break a mans thigh or even the
leg Of a horse.-- Exchange.

WOOD RHT TYPIFIES MAN.
Tie Is Small, but His Acquisitivcness
IL Unsuitable.

~
Too many Americans have the wood
rat instinct" The wood rat, the ami
NAL, is a native OF southern Oregon,
but the wood rat typifed in man is
not restricted TO any small section Of a
state or nation, but is well nigh uni
versal
The wood rat is small no larger than
a common rat. but his ambition and
acquisitiyeness are Unsuitable, His

crease the size Of his pile Of sticks.
The neighborng field is placed under
tribute. First. all the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then as
these are cleaned up, he goes farther
and farther away from home, and ev-
cry twig is eagerly seized upon to in
crease the size Of his pile Of sticks.
The wood rat regards bis pile Of
sticks as refuge in time Of trouble
On the first sound Of alarm he rushes
for the pile and crawls underneath. 1t
Is here that he often finds his destruc-
ton, for summer fire sometimes
sweeps through the woods, and the
wood rats pile of sticks makes a
verltable furnace. The larger the pile
the hotter the fire, and thus he has
piled up the means of his own agony.
We do not need to carry the COM
parison any further. The lesson Is
obvious, but still many Of us do not
appear to realize that we are like the
wood rat, worshiping a pile Of sticks.
We marry n man because Of the size
Of his pile Of sticks and not from an
innate attractiveness. We call this
man a success because he can gather
sticks faster than any of his compan-
ions. We call this man SHARP and
"shrewd" because, after fellow
worker has laboriously made a huge
pile, he steps in and Gusts his fellow
from the pile and appropriates all the
sticks for his own.
Let us take warning from the wood
rat and the summer fire-the larger
the pile of sticks the iiercer burns the

The common iucncy Of speech In
many men and most women is owing
to scarcity OF matter and a scarcity
Of words, for whoever is master OF
language and hath a mind full of ideas
viii be apt In speaking to hesitate up
on the choice Of both, whereas com
mon speakers have only one set Of
ideas and one set Of words to clothe
them in, and these are always ready
at the mouth, so people come faster

rae WAY OF TIE WORLD.


Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep. and you weep alone
For this brave old earth
Must borrow its mirth.
Il has trouble enough OF its own.
Sing. and the hills will answer;
Sigh and It's lost on the air;
The echoes rebound
In a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men win seek You;
GrIeye ana they win turn and go
They want full measure
OF all your pleasure.
But they do not want your woe.
BE glad, and your friends are many;
BE sad, and you will lose them all;
There are none to decline
Your nectared wine.
But alone You must drink life's gall
Feast, and your halls are crowded.
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give,
And Il helps you TO live,
But It cannot help you TO die.
There is room in the halls Of pleasure
For long and lordly train
But one by one
We must all file on
Through the narrow isle of pain.
