Dangerous Rubber Bands.

Elastic bands are taboo in a certain
large Office in New York city, and en-
ployes are requested to dispense with
the rabbers altogether or to keep
them with great circumspection.
The reason for the precaution is
that the bands are known to be hardly
less siiprery than the dreaded banana
peel. with the same propensity for
causing severe falls. especially in con
Junction with the oiled wood floors of
modern buildings.
A valued woman employe of the of

ing to one OF these mischief makers
which resulted in an injury to hips
and spine which has incapacitated
her for all active work for some time

FISH DROPPED FROM CLOUDS
Originally Carried Aioft In Water
spout 10 Simple Explanation
OF Occurrences.

On Friday last a nun Der of towns
people taking walk on the slopes of
Knockscalbert hill were surprised to
see on the grass near Summerhill a
large number of very small fishes,
varying in length from l IL to 2
inches. The fish appeared to be the
young of the herring.
In August, 1904, shower of herring
fry was experienced at the head of
Longrow, but there was no doubt as to
whence the miniature fish had come,
for they fell from above on the hats
and clothing of several men, and at
the time a small black cloud OF re-
markable density was directly over
head.
The phenomenon of fish falling from
the clouds is of more common occur
renee than is generally supposed. 1t
is undoubtedly due to some small fry
of fishes having been lifted from the
water and carried over dry land by
what is popularity known as water
spout.
Many cases are reported from
abroad, and they are common in In
dia. Last year Caithness reported a
shower of small fishes. which were
identified as herring fry, and there
shire
Frogs, insects asd other living crea.
lures have also been known to be thus
transported through the air:-Calnp-

Why England Has No Flies.

The proof is that it has been done
Speaking rashly, there are no flies in
England; at least, there are so few
that the inhabitants do not think it
worth while to screen their. dwellings.
The reason is the simplest-the tight
little island is kept clean. Fifty years
ago flies were a nuisance in England;
though not the plague they are here
for no other really civilized coNntry
was ever quite SO dirty as the United
States OF America This nuisance is
pretty completely abated. In 80 years
England has been swept and gar
nished, and the flies have starved

GIRL f.0T A NATURE STUDENT
She Meant Well, but Evidently Had a
Lot to Learn about Care
OF Birds.

She was not nature student, and
when she saw sparrow on the side
walk, evidently too young to fly and
too badly frightened even to hop she
did not know exactly what to do for it.
She did not know how it had got
there, where its parents we're or what
relief measures would be advisable
All she could do, in her perplexity
was to keep the group of boys who
had gathered around it from harIning
it and see if any of them could suggest
course of action, for she was well
aware that in these days of nature
study the veriest infant knows more
about birds aud their like than many
an elder person.
Presently a big boy pushed through
the group, looked at the bird kindly.
then stopped and took it up. She was
much rclievas will You take care
of it?' she ASKED him "Sure." he 70
sporded, with ipalegant emphasis. She
was anxious that ii should have the
best OF care, SO she helpfully sug-
fnl1y, "netter give it little milk
The boy stared. Then he grinned
Then he yelled. Milk he roarea.
Milk, ha, milk" Then he streaked
iup the street, carrying the bird care
fully in his hands and derisively ejac-
ulating, Milk"

her way. and she was heard to muir

HOMEMADE TONlcS.

Some women prefer to make their hair tonics or
washes by boiling sage some other herb with
water. There is. Of course. money saving in this.
and tonics made without spirits have this advan-
tege-they will never weaken the color of the
hair Many of the tinctures made up for the mar
ket contain spirits for preservative, and conse-
quently Will not bad, but they tend to lessen
the color OF the hair.
Decoctions made at home with water have their
bad qualities also. however. They mildew very
quickly That doesn't matter much, but what
does matter is that they dull the hairs lustre.
Having slight penetrative qualities, great deal

hair. On the whole some good tincture is best for
the hair, and such a little goes long way that it
