Recovery Of SIGHT.

Wilbur Wright really got to talking
about the art and science of flying the
other day, according to the New York
correspondent to the Cincinnati Times
Star. Some men take to it natural
w." said he. Others can't be taught
Still others run along for a time ap-
parently without learning anything
and all at once you find that they have
become accomplished aviators. You
don't know when the transition from a
dub to a devil has taken place. II
makes me think of my old friend Davis
up in Dayton. Dave was fine old
fellow, a member Of the colored church
and one of my trusted semi
employees. One day Dave came to me-
"'Somep'ns de mattah wild nah ayes
suh,' said he.
We'll, I took Dave to an oculist
The eye doctor gave him one sort OF
medicine, and it did no good. Then he
gave Dave another sort of medicine
and that did no good. Finally he tried
a third sort of medicine, but with mis-
givings. The very next day met old
Dave.
Seems to me I'm noticin' a leetle
improvement, suh,' said Dave. Well
he was quite right. That night
caught Dave in my chicken coop-and
it was one of the darkest nights l ever
saw"

stupid and mischievous.

KEEP THE kidneys We'll
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
YorkviIIe People Knox How to
Save II.

Many Yorkville people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are RESPONSE
BILE for a vast amount of suffering and
i'll health, but there is no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger when all dis
eases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per-
manently cured by the use Of Doan's
Kidney Pills. The following statement
leaves no ground for doubt.
D. E. Fincher, 119 N. Wilson ST.,
Rock Hill, S. c., says: For more than
year suffered from severe pain IN
the small of my back and sides and
there was often a soreness through my
kidneys. During these attacks / felt
miserable and on arising in the morn
ing l was so lame and sore that could
hardly get around. I knew from these
difficulties that my kidneys were dis
ordered and 1 finally began taking
Doan's Kidney Pills. They did me a
great deal of good. I seldom have any
pain now, my kidneys give me no more
trouble and ! am better in every way.
l do not hesitate to recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills to other kidney sufferers"

insects, will seek a roosting place at
night. The chimney swift will soar
and dart about until after sunset and
then suddenly dive into some chimney.
The birds have very sharp pointed
claws and cling to the sides of the
sooty f1ues Old or unoccupied facto-
ry smokestacks make excellent places
for the chimney swallows to roost in
vast numbers.
In early spring before robins begin to
nest these birds gather in large num-
bers in some group Of trees or grove,
where they sing until almost dark, and
they remain quiet until the first
signs Of day, when they break forth in
song, filling the air with the sweetest
of music AS soon as they begin nest
ing each pair seeks a sheltered roost-
ing place near the spot selected to
raise their brood. After the first egg
is deposited in the nest and until the
Young birds are able to leave one OF
the robins remains on the nest while
the other sits near on some limb. When
the young birds can fly the parents in
duce them to go with them to some
protected thicket or sheltered location.
Some birds roost in very exposed
places. Others will select protected
spots and secrete themselves in such
manner in the foliage of the trees and
vines that even their enemies cannot
find them. Many birds chose a natur-
al shelter from the rains by getting
beneath leaf which sheds the water
from them, while others sit out In the
open, taking the storm in all its fury.
Many birds roost upon the ground.
All sorts of places are chosen. Quail
sit in a circle with their heads out,
always ready to fly If disturbed. They
have been seen sitting in such posi-
ton in daylight. Many smaller birds
roost in large weeds, and others select
tuft of grass in which to spend the
dark hours. Other birds build their
nests on the ground in pastures and
meadows, and while the mother bird
is Matching and caring for the brood
the male bird is always near at hand
on the alert or gathering grubs or in
sects for the little ones. At night the
male bird remains near the nest, and
in some instances both parents sit on
the little nest.
A few birds that prey upon others
and destroy both birds and eggs re-
main wide awake all night and fly
about doing all the harm they can
Some birds sing at night, but most OF
them remain silent-Milwaukee Even

CRASH OF WORLDS.
Scientific Theory Concerning the End
of Our Planet.

Credulous individuals who are al
ways fearful that some of the ends of
the world predicted by sensational
prophets may prove to be true will find
considerable comfort in the assertion
of Prof Lowell that there is good
scientific evidence for the belief that
mankind will have many years warning
of the great catastrophe that is des-
tined to put an end to all things on
this planet.
According to Prof Lowell's state
ments, the Brooklyn Eagle says, there
is somewhere within the remote con-
fines of space a great mass of matter
once a world, but now dead-that is
hurting itself toward our sun. In time
it is certain to reach the goal to which
it is tending, and when the two come
together the globe on which we live is
destined to cease to exist.
While it would then be certain that
the end of the world was in sight,
there would still be ample time in
which to prepare for the inevitable. If
the first view of the intruder was
caught at the eleventh magnitude-it
could scarcely come nearer without be-
ing detected-it would not be until
twenty seven years later that it would
become visible to the naked eye, and
three years more would elapse before
it appeared to us as equal in size to a
first magnitude star. In two years and
three months more it would have come
as near to us as Jupiter, and by that
time it would be far the brightest star
in the sky.
Fortunately for our peace of mind,
there is at the present moment no such
dead world within dangerous proX-
unity, and yet any day it may appear.
Any day the morning newspapers may
announce that one of these dark bodies
has come within the reach of the tele-
scope-that it may readily be seen by
the light of the sun reflected upon it.
In short, it's effect upon the world
would already be felt. Our seasons
would change and the days would grow
longer Finally, just 145 days later,
those who were still alive would wit
ness the beginning of the end. The
stranger would not strike the earth,
but would pass so close in its dash to
the sun that the earth would drop ST.
lently into the sun.

AS Natural as Life.

The train had just left Easton sta
ton, says a writer in the New YORK
Times, bound for New York. AS the
conductor made his way through the
coaches, he spied a small white dog
with a bushy tail and bright black
ewes sitting beside little girl. The
presence of dogs in passenger cars be-
ing contrary to rules, the conductor
had painful duty to perform-doubly
painful in this particular case, for lie
himself had at home a small girl who
possessed a dog. not exactly like this
one, but still dog.
I'm sorry, very sorry" he said to the
little girl, but it is against the regu-
lations to allow dogs here"
MY! o my, is that SOP" she replied.
What shall 1 do-what shall l do
You see it is nothing but little"
Yes, I know, but rules, are rules,
you know" interrupted the conductor.
1T will be all right; We'll just put
him in the baggage car"
What! Put this nice little dog in
your dirty old baggage carr"
Very sorry, awfully sorry. miss
but 1 shall have to do it." continued
the conductor.
We'll, 1 just know that somebody
will steal it: but of course, if you say
it must go there I suppose"
Here, Bill" called the conductor to
the brakeman, take this pup into the
baggage car and tell 'em to treat 1t
Well"
The brakeman reached over and
lifted up the dog. He did it as tenderly
as if it were a baby. But as soon as
he got hold of it he began to laugh.
Why, boss" he said, It's a worsted
dog"
Yes, sir" spoke up the girl, as she
looked at them both with her innno-
cent delft-blue eyes, its worsted!
thought you knew it all the time. It's
for my brother in Brooklyn"
The brakeman laid the dog back in
the seat. The conductor forgot to
punch the girls ticket, and he and the
brakeman retired to the rear platform
to figure out what was the matter with
them.

BIRDS AT NIGHT.
What the Different Feathered Great.
ures Do After Dark.


ures Do After Dark.
Children often ask where all the
birds go at night. 1t would seem to
one not familiar with bird life that
many of our feathered visitors find
difficulty in securing suitable places in
which to spend the night.
An observer will notice that birds
become quite active as twilight ap-
proaches. Many kinds, such as black
birds and crows, have regular haunts,
and as the sun nears the western ho-
rizon thousands of these birds may be
seen flying in great flocks toward a
certain orchard or grove. Many select
a thicket in some lonely hollow, while
others will select some large lawn
where shade trees stand.
Crows often select dark, deep hol-
low with trees and bushes on all sides,
where they form a sort of rookery.
They like dead trees to roOst on, and
in some places they visit certain fa-
vored spots until their continued oc-
hlllS many vi Tie lIetS
Crows and blackbirds are quiet dur
ing the dark hours if unmolested, but
occasionally some enemy besides the
human hunter will disturb them, and
there is a great chatter and flutter of
wings. A hungry owl, or a cat with
some of it's wild nature still remaining
will frequently visit such place, and
of course has no trouble in obtaining a
meal. Such a visitor often disturbs
those near, and the frightened birds
will nutter away in the darkness to
seek another roosting place.
