An Entertaining Catbird.

Nothing escapes the eye of our pet
catbird, for he is curiosity personi.
fed He wants to know the why and
wherefore of everything that is lit
tie strange and does not rest until he
has found out. When let out in a
room he will carefully examine every
nook and corner. He is an inveterate
joker and delights to play jokes on his
fellow prisoners, while his sense of
humor is almost human at times. The
pincushion is constant wonder and
delight to him. He flies to 1t us soon
as let out OF his cage and either pulls
the pins all out or drives them into
the cushion as far as possible. If he
pulls them out. he hops to the edge
of the table and drops them on the
floor, flirting his tail and uttering a
note of great satisfaction when they
strike the floor,-Suburban Life.

proved so profitable to its makers Is
the subject of an amusing legend. Il
savors strongly of belonging to th

much excitement. Eventually the ma

mechanical anarchy were of texture
quite unrivaled for use as bath tow

going backward again and has been
travelling in that direction ever since.

The Baby Turtle.

Turtles lay their eggs In the sand
and let the sun hatch them out. They
do not lay them all in one place prob
ably because they think 1t safer to
scatter them. Then. even though one
be stolen or broken, the others may eS-
cape. The mother turtle covers them
all carefully up. one after another. with
Il thin sprinkling OF sand and then up

Ravens and the Hapsburus.

Henri de Weiddel tells the story os
the late Empress Elizabeth and the
ravens which Maurus .Iokel gave in an
article at the time OF her majestys
tragic death. Early in her life Eliza
beth wrote some verses in Hungarian
on the subject OF the raven. the bird
Of Ill omen, which plays great part
in the history of the Hapsburgs. Ac-
cUrdinG 10 the imperial poetess. a
flight of ravens was lowering over Oh
mutz when Francis Joseph received
from his uncle's hands the crown
which was destined TO intlict upon him
such miseries. \ raven followed Max
imilian and Charlotte on their last
walk before their departure for Mex
leo, and when Maria Christina was
starting to receive the crown of Spain.
which was one day to be so grievous
burden, n raven flew over the horses
heads and accompanied the carriage to
the railway station. These incidents
were the subject of the poem.-West-

When Linen Is Translucent.

The whiteness and opacity of dry
linen. rs of writing paper. are due
mainly to the fact of repeated refiec-
tions at the surface. so that the light is
wasted in these reverberations before
1t can reach to any depth The body or
linen is a network of transparent fibers
not in optical contact. which intercept
the light by repeatedly refexing it.
Now, if the nterStices of these tiberS
are filed by Il body of the same refrac.
tive index as the tibers themselves the
refeXion of the surface Is destroyed
and the linen is rendered more trans
parent Water does this; hence linen
when wet is darker. but more trans
lucent, just as is the oiled paper used
for tracings by architects and engi-
neers. The same holds good with ordi-
nary glass and ground glass. the re-
peated reflections OF the latter making
it far less transparent. To similar
cause are due the whiteness and opac-
ity of snow. of salt and of pulverized
glass.

one occasion he dined with q large

was produced. In his usual genial
way the novelist pressed this on his
guests and, patting his neighbor, Lord

Women Suffer Agonies
from Diseased Kidneys
And Most Women Do This Not Knowing the
Real Cause of their Condition

These poor, suffering women
have been led to believe that their
misery of mind and body is entire
ly due to ellis of their sex" Usually
the kidneys and bladder are re-
sponsible-or largely so. And in
such cases, the kidneys and blad-
der are the organs, that need and
must have attention.
Those torturing, enervating sick
headaches, dragging pains in back,
groin and limbs, bloating and swell
ing of the extremities, extreme
nervousness or hysteria, listless-
ness and constant tired, worn-out
feeling-are almost certain symp-
toms of disordered and diseased
kidneys, bladder and liver.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills have, in thousands of cases,
been demonstrated as remarkably
beneficial in all such conditions of
female organism-affording the
most prompt relief and permanent
benefit.
AS an illustration of what these
Pills will do, Mrs. P. M. Bray of
Columbus, Ga, writes that she was
very ill with kidney trouble, and
that she is now weil-and that
