Read the Book of Nature.

Deprived of the contemplation Of these
love of nature early into the heart of a
child is the greatest good that can be con-
ferred. To found library is a great and
good deed. But the world needs to see more
we'll as read much. To give a child the
chance to read the book of nature is a
greater deed. There every true emotion will
be played upon; there only the true and the
beautiful will be held up for admiration
And the music and the harmony of the
great book will pass over into the life Of
the reader.
The twelve little American Italians who
did not know what a clover blossom was
were Tribune Fresh Air guests. Hundreds
of other true and pitiful little stories might
be quoted to show how meagre and warped
are the IDEAS of such children. a little girl
singing America" on the day of her ar
rival at a Fresh Air home said with en-
thusiasra as she looked around her:
Now I know what My Country means;
it's this place; it isn't New York
During the remainder of this week more
than a thousand children sent out through
the kindness of the subscribers to the Trib-
uae Fresh Air Fund will return from the
first peep into the great book OF the coun-
try. and more than a thousand others will
go out to take their places. And VINO
knows what those who return have learned
and what they have felt during this golden
two weeks just passed?

A Birds aarbed Wire Fences.

There may be seen along the road
sides In Central America q brown wren
about the size of canary which builds
a nest out of all proportion to its ap-
parent needs. 1t selects small tree
with horizontal branches growing close
together. Across two OF the branches
it lays sticks fastened together with
tough fiber until Il platform about six
feet long by two feet wide has been
constructed. On the end Of this plat
form nearest the tree trunk it then
builds a huge. dome shaped nest foot
or so high with thick sides Of inter-
woven thornS. covered passageway

A Benevolent Censor,

A trio of young ladies spent some
weeks last year at an out Of the way
village in the mountain region. They
found the village postmaster a quaint
old character. whose ways were as ORR

the daily trip to the postoffice became
a real event.

his freedman. T. Tullius Trio, and was
inconsolable when temporarily depriv-

a letter to friend that, while "Tiro
takes down whole phrases in few

need not. however. suppose that the

Finding Mark Twain by Faith.

One evening few years ago Brander
Matthews and Francis Wilson were
dining together at the Players club of
New York. when the former made the
suggestion that they write letter to
Mark Twain. But" objected Mr.. Will
son. I'VE don't know where be is" for
it was at time when Mr.. Clemens
was away travelling somewhere. oh"
said Professor Matthews. that does
not make any difference. 1t is sure to
find him. ! think he is some place In
Europe. so we had better put on a
five cent stamp" So the two sat down
and composed letter. which they adj
dressed to MARK Twain. God Knows
Where"
Within three weeks they received a
reply from Mr.. Clemens which said
briefly. He did" The letter had been
sent by the New York postofice to
Harper & Bros. thence to Chatto &

in Vienna. and from the bank to the

He Got BadIv Left.

Experiences OF a correspondent of
Nuremberg paper go to show that the
German adulteration laws are drastic
He says: "A French friend sent me
four bottles of burgundy. After pay
ing the duty l was informed that all
wine coming from abroad has to be
analysed. AS my consignment incIud
ed two kinds of Wine double analysis
was necessary. and for this ! paid a
fee of 1924 AS the end of a week
received first certificate attesting that
my wine was pure and. second. the
case in which the bottles were sent
was also Informed that two bottles
had been required to form the basis Of
each analysis and that consequently
there was no wine left. l am natural
ly grateful to the state for the precau-
tons taken to guard my health. but
cannot help thinking am entitled to
the empty bottles Surely these were
not also analysed"

The Ways Of MoIes.

Among common animals few have
been less studied in their life history
than the mole. An English natural
list, Mr. Lionel e. Adams. says that
under the fortress" which the mole
constructs above the surface of the
ground will always be found a series
of tunnels running out beneath the
adjacent field A curious feature al
most invariably found is perpendic-
ular run penetrating about a foot be-
low the bottom Of the nest and then
turning upward to meet another run.
A mole is never found in his nest, al
though it may be vet warm from his
body when opened. Guided by smell
and hearing. a mole frequently locates
the nest of a partridge or pheasant
above his run and. penetrating it from
below. eats the eggs. The adult mole
is practically blind. but there are en-
bryOnic indications that the power of
sight in the race has deteriorated.

Snuff and a Crook.

Robert Pinkerton once told story
Of his father. the founder of the de-
tective agency. which illustrates the
elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained in Pinkerton's
Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room and when he returned
took the precaution of holding a re-
volver in front of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with a snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkertoh's desk in his hand.
This is good snuff" affably re-
marked the crook as he took a sniff.
For the eyes or the nose" asked
Pinkerton. who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
to escape.
"Well." remarked the criminal, Pm
sorry to say that the nose gets it this
time"

which small round hole had been
punched to receive an eyelet for hold

little circular scraps Of paper cut out
by the punch accumulated on table,
and one of the machine men amused
himself by scattering a handful OF
them over working girls hair. She
Immediately snatched up handful
and threw them in his face. Other
girls followed her example. and the
first confetti battle began. The head

No Pure Water,

Owing to the extremely solvent pow
ers. pure water is never found in ma
ture, the nearest approach being found
in rainwater, which. as it is formed in
the upper regions Of the atmosphere,
is the purest that nature supplies. but
in descending it brings with it what
ever impurities are floating near the
surface. which in the neighborhood of
cities are always numerous; hence per-
fectly pure water is hardly to be found,
even the artifcially distilled being only
approximately so.
