A Curious Painting.

In japan there Is . very famous
painting which no amount Of money
could Uuy and which Is the master
piece of. a, famous artist who lived sew
eral centuries ago. Viewing the paint
ing in the daytime. one is disappoint-
ed. 1t shows nothing more than very
commonplace landscape anrelieved by
mountains. or hills. As soon. however.
as night falls one begins to realize the
peculiar merit Of the picture. for upon
the canvas there appears a luminous
water buffalo (caribou) browsing upon
the grass at its feet. The artist who
painted this picture discovered GER
tain phosphorescent paint. which he
obtained from the bodies Of certain
mOllusks, or fish, and with which he
painted the buffalo that, invisible in
daylight Is lnminously brilliant in the
dark The secret Of making this paint
died with the artist. The picture,
which hangs In 4 Buddhist temple, has
proved q fertile source Of superstition,
the priests claiming that the buffalo
hides away in the shade behind some
trees in the picture during the heat Of
the day, coming out at night to Craze.

The Mules Ears.

Evolutionists explain satisfactorily
that the reason that the dogs ears lop
Is because for centuries the animal
has been domesticated by man and
has lain within the protecting influence
Of his hut and fire. The dogs ears are
said to have originally stood upright.
as do the VOLTS today, but gradually
as the necessity for keen hearing be-
came less imperative the dogs ears
began to lop. But how about the
mule? 1t is the duty Of somebody to
explain why the mules ears have not
Topped down. There Is no need for
him to have stiff ears. The donkey,
the horse and their progeny, the mule,
have been under mans protecting in
fluence for centuries and ages. The
ass is the beast Of burden Of the Bible.
His ears were stiff then. and they are
stiff now. 1t would seem it was about
time for them to begin to lop a little.

A. New Yorker decided to give a din
ner in recognition Of hospitality show
cred upon him by his friends recent
~. Re asked two women he knew to
go. to jewelers. and pick out some
little souvenirs for the women guests,
says, the New York Sun. The host did
not know it. but a detective accompa-
MED the gifts to the house. Each w0-
man found at her place at the table
handsome box. When these were
opened there were cries Of admiration.
One woman drew out diamond ring,
another an emerald brooch, another a
diamond crescent. q fourth necklace
Of pearls, another diamond tiara,
and so on. until the output of the
boxes represented about $4,000. The
host had forced smile when the first
box was opened. As each trinket re-
vealed seemed more costly than the
last his jaw fell. Precipitation began
to trickle down his face, which got so
red that the women became alarmed.
Then they explained that the jewels
were a joke and were borrowed for
the occasion.

Tho Picture In tho Watch.

The following anecdote is related Of
Jerome Bonaparte: He had been play
ing cards until he lost all his ready
money, then pledged his rings and
finally laid his watch on the table. It
was small gold one, the back of
which opened with a spring. A lady
overlooking the game admired the
watch aud took it up to examine 1t.
On her attempting to open the back
Jerome Immediately clasped it and
said that must not be done. His wife.
who stood by, insisted upon knowing
what was in it. grew angry. reproach-
ed him with having some keepsake of
a favorite there and finally, bursting
into tears. quit the room. Jerome then
opened the watch and showed to all
present that it contained beautiful
miniature of his first wife, Betsy Pat
terson, with the remark. you see, /
hope. that l could not with propriety
let her see it." 1t was notorious that
he remained deeply attached to his
first wife long after their separation.

lowing directions much that will in"

provided the hints are needed:
Place the cage so that no draft of
air can strike the bird. Give nothing
to healthy birds but rape and canary
seed, water, cuttlefish bone and gray
ell paper or sand on the floor Of the
cage; no hempseed; bath three times
a week. The room should not be over
heated-never above 70 degrees.
When moulting shedding feathers)
keep warm, avoid all drafts Of air.
Give plenty Of German rape seed. A
little hard boiled egg mixed with
crackers grated fine IS excellent.
Feed regularly at a certain hour in
the morning. BY observing these SIM
pie rules birds may be kept in fine
condition for years.
For birds that are sick or have lost
their song procure bird tonic at 4 bird
store. Very many keep birds who
mean to give their pets all things to
make them bright and happy and at
the same time are guilty Of great cru

in a cage should be each. one of a dif-

HOUSE PROBLEM Still
TROUBLES BISMARCK
IN SPITE OF LARGE AMOUNT OF
BUILDING IN THE PAST NO
HOUSES FOR RENT.
Expected That More Building witt
Be Done This Year Than In Any
Year in the Past.

1t seems remarkable that wilt all
the houses which have been built in
Bismarck during the last three or
four years that there are never
enough to go around and this spring
they are scarcer than ever. One
real estate dealer has sold three
houses already this spring to outside
parties coming here to live these
people being unable to rent any
thing. The prospects are that there
will be more houses built this year
than ever before Already work has
begun on a large number in all parts
of the city and as fast as 1t is an
nounced that some one is going to
build for rent his house is rented ev-
en- before work is started. Even
good building lots are growing scarce
where one can reach the water and
sewer The casual observer would
think there are plenty of vacant lots
around until he discovers that
great part Of these are owned by peo-
pie who have bought them In the past
year or two to build on and who will
not, for that reason, sell out.
The pressure on the lot question
will be greatly relieved by the OPEN
ing of the new addition next week
and it is expected there will be a
good many houses built out that way
this summer. There ought to be for
if Bismarck keeps going ahead very
long in the way it has the past few
years we cannot take care of the
good people coming here.
New faces are seen on the streets
every day, the hotels and boarding
houses are filled with travelling and
business men who are locating here
and every week We hear of some
business or industry starting in. 1t
used to be that every one knew ev-
eryone else but it's that way no more
and Bismarckers will mighty soon
wake up to the fact that Bismarck
is no longer a frontier town depend
ing on the Black Hills Trail and the
river traffic but is the distributing
center of a great empire
Look around and note for your
self the improved appearance of the
city as compared with only a very
few years ago and you will agree
with every outsider who comes here,
that Bismarck is the best looking
and the best city in North Dakota"
