OCCUPY NESTS BY SEASONS
suzzards Seldom Use Same "Home"
Twice Consecutively for Some
Reason Unexplained.

The flight of the buzzard is as well
nigh perfection as is possible to find.
In fact, he might be called the most
perfect aeroplane in existence. To
see him soaring between the bare
hills, with vast green fertile valley
below him, and with the spring sun
lighting up his brown plumage as he
slowly sails around. with outspread
pinfons, is a sight never to be forgot
ten.
The buzzard usually chooses a
ledge on cliff for an eyrie. but in
certain parts of Wales there are a few
well used nests in trees. and as
fhese are generally used by some
bird of prey each season. they grow to
an enormous size. The buzzard does
not as rule. use the same nest two
consecutive seasons. but returns to
1t the third, and after that allows an
other season TO elapse before occupy
ing 1t again.
Two nests are often constructed In
one dingle. and an amusing incident
happened few years ago in one of
these places. The hen laid one egg in
each nest. and as it was quite i'm
possible for her to sit on both az once,
we did her good turn by placing one
OF these eggs in the nest with its COM
panion. The result of our kindness
was that a collector passed by about
two hours afterward and put both
eggs in his collecting box.
When thought the matter over I
came to the conclusion that that old
onzzard was not half such a fool as
we took her to be. End if we had
left the eggs as we found them the
bird might have ha, chance of rear.

DESCRIBES RULES OF LIFE
Admirable Guides for Conduct Set
Forth in His provisional Self.
Government"

In the discourse of Descartes upon
The Method of Using Ones Reason
Rightly" he says that he had always
had an intense desire to learn how to
distinguish truth from falsehood in
order that he might ba clear about his
actions and that he might be able to
walk surefootedly in this life.
Therefore he resolved to set up what
he termed "a provisional self-govern.
ment,' of which these were to be the
rules | give the rules as somewhat
broadly paraphrased by Mr.. Huxley
F.st-That he would submit him
self to the laws and religion in which
he had been brought up.
Second-That he would act, on all
occasions which called for action
promptly and according to the best
of his Judgment.
Third That he would seek happ,
ness in limiting his desires rather
than in attempting to satisfy them.
Fourth-That he would make the
search after truth the business of his
life.
Deseartes was just coming Of nge
when he laid down for himself these
rules of life.-From Personal Power

Cuts and Court Plaster.

Many people make the mistake Of
using court plaster over cut. The
plaster closes the wound prematurely.
preventing the natural cleansing of
the wound and the egresssof any par
ticles of dirt which may have entered
1t also keeps the edges moist, encour-
aging the pus formation. In the
treatment of cut do not be in too
much of hurry to stop the bleeding.
Unless an artery is severed. which
becomes evident by the forcible squirt
ing of the blood, there is no need of
haste. Each moment of free bleeding
aids in rendering the wound antisep.
tic, as the blood coming from within
eleanses the wound better than any
other application. After free bleed
ing has been allowed for a few min
utes let stream of hot water. which
has previously been boiled, run over
the wound. This will cleanse tba
edges and check the bleeding.-Fam.

After the Rats.

As country Germany has fewer
rats than any other in the world. This
is due to the interest taken by the
government in their destruction. If a
boy applies to the mayor of his town
he is furnished with traps and paid
half cent for every skin he brings.
IN large tow IS there are 100 bows at
work all the tine. The cost of traps
and bait makes each skin cost the
government about penny. but as
every rat destroys Eve dollars worth a
year, this makes tremendous saving.
The mice, though destructive, are
not looked after by the government.
1t IS expected that every household
will protect itself However, reward
OF penny is paid for every three
