Snuff Spoons.

All the world is familiar with snuff
boxes, but snuff spoons are pretty lit
tie reinements Of which this genera
ton has hardly heard. Very probably
they came into use about two years
after Sir George Rockies expedition to
Vieo bay in 1902. when he captured
half a ton Of tobacco and snuff from
the Spanish galleons. and snuff thus
became a common article in England.

published at oxford in 1904. entitled

Baker. says. But | carry sweet snuff

A VETERAN CORRESPONDENT.

Few among the thousands who enjoy
the youthful vim and enthusiasm of
Walter Wellman's special dispatches
in the Chicago Record-Herald are
aware that with the present year Mr..
Wellman will round out q quarter Of
a century as a Washington c%orrespon-
dent. The Record Herald has always
been noted for the brilliance Of its
special correspondents, but Mr.. Well
mans career reaches far back of the
consolidation which gave the paper
it's present name.
Walter Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, in 1858. At the age of IA he
founding a weekly newspaper in SUIT
ton, Neb. In the next dozen years he
was laying the foundation for the
success of later years. In 1884, when
he was still a young man of rs, he
was intrusted with the responsible
post Of Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Herald, a position which,
through all his polar quests and var
ious changes in the paper itself, he
has held with undiminished honor to
the present day. In that quarter of a
century he has won a national reputa-
ton as a magnetic and forceful writer,
a shrewd political prophet, a genius
at news-getting and a daring explorer.
In 1892 Mr.. Wellman visited the
West Indies for his paper and located
he spot where Columbus landed, mark
irg it with a stone monument. In
1894 he made his first dash for the
pole, reaching the latitude Of 81 de-
grees northeast Of SpitZenberg. In
1898 he tried it again, penetrating as
far as Franz Josef Land and mapping
many islands that had never before
been explored. Two years ago he
made a daring attempt to cross the
arctic ice field in an airship. Mr.. Well
man has not yet reached the pole and
perhaps never will, but he has given
bundant proof of his courage and
perseverance. His chief ~laurels, how
ever, have been won by his years of
splendid work as a Washington cor
respondent.

A Tramp Of Resource.

Much experience Of thirsty tramps
had caused the author of IAN English
Holiday" j.. J.. Hissey. to foreknow
almost exactly what they would say
to him. One day. when sending his
motorcar slowly along a shady Eng
lish road. he net one of this guild. who
accosted him with the preliminary
touch of his cap Mr.. Hissey aDtici-
pated him by e~xclaiming:
81 be mortal thirsty. Have you. good
sir, the price of a glass Of ale about
you? I've driven nearly fifty miles to-
day, and since the morning not a bite
Of food has passed my lips"
The look of establishment that tramp
gave me was a delight to observe. But
this tramp was a man Of ready re-
source. and. seeing l was a hopeless
case. he rose to the occasion and
promptly exclaimed, with what dig
nifty be could command and with a
comically serious expression:
IF there were a policeman In sight

OWL HOUSES WITHOUT LINING
One Pecuiarity of Bird That Looks to Be the Wisest of the Feath-
 cred Tribe.

Owls houses are for the most part quite without lining Whether from design or pure laziness, the bones and skulls of small animals which they have killed are left scattered about the floor. Grewsome playthings for the owl children! But one can scarce ly imagine even a baby owl being anything but wise and dignified It is easier to picture them apparently gravely musing on these skulls like monks in their dark cells
 Since so many of the owls have their hones in hollow trees, we might expect some of their near relatives, the hawks. to be inclined to live in the same way. One of them, the lit- the sparrow hawk, does nest in the flicker's abandoned home and in com fortabAe knot holes.
