The hummina Birds Eliaht

The flight OF the little cumming bird
is mere remarkable than that of the
eagle. We can understand the tapping
of the eagles immense wing support
ing comparatively light body. But
our little bird has plump body. His
wings are not wide. but long, so he
must move them rapidly to sustain his
weight. and this he can do to perfec
ton. The vibrations Of his wings are
so rapid as TO make them almost in
visible. He can use them to sustain
himself in midair. with his body as
motionless as If perched on twig
In this way he can sip the nectar Of
the delicate, fine stemmed flowers
without alighting for a moment. He
never alights while so engaged. He
moves from flower to dover with a
graceful and rapid movement. some
times chasing away a bee or hum
ming bird moth. of which he is very
Jealous. Nor is he much more favora-
bly, impressed with any small birds
that seem in his way. He knows his
power of fight. and he has no fear of
any other bird.-St. Nicholas.

Free Postage.

When the postottice was first opened
at Kai Feng. China. the clerks had a
fight with some men who bought
stamps and refused to go away until
the stamps were licked and stuck on
their envelopes for them. The foreign
postotfices in Palestine are usually con-
vulsed by spirit of keen competition.
If parcel exceeding the regulation
weight or size is taken TO an office
and refused the traveller in the ma
jority of cases has only TO threaten to
take it to a rival office. and it is
straightway received without a muir
muir. So keen is the rivalry between
some of these offices that residents in
Palestine possess free post within
certain districts. Between Jaffa and
the surrounding colonies and also with
In Jerusalem the German and Aus

Orioin of White Race.

The discussion of the precise locality
where the primitive man developed
into the white race is by no means
settled as yet. The old theory that the
Aryan or white race began In Asia
Is still held by many high authorities,
but other authorities equally nigh
maintain that the original white
mans country" was Europe and that
from Europe the race spread to other
parts Of the world. 1t is safe to say
that the last word upon the subject
has not yet been spoken. The debate
is still open and will probably remain
50 for a very long time to come.-New
York American.

 Not everyone knows" he said, that the dragon fly Is the worst nat ural enemy that the mosquito has. Both of them are born in the water and both wiggle around in the mud and ooze till the time comes for them to emerge. Then they come out on the stock of a lilypad dry off in the hot sun and split their skin down the back and emerge from it with wings.
 The dragon fly has a wonderful lower jaw that shoots out like an arm and can grab almost anything that comes its way, but what 1t likes bet ter than anything else is mosquito

New York.-All churchmen have been interested fin the census bulletin recently issued giving church statis- ties
 There were 164,s30 Christian minis ters in the United States. besides ,0S4 Jewish rabbis, and they increase at the rate of nearly 4,0o0 year. Their average salaries are not so small as many suppose. for the sum Is S663. Baptists and Methodists have more than half the whole number of minis ters in the country. due to their large number of small churches. especially In rural districts.
 There are in Manhattan and Brook. lyn several scores of ministers whose salaries exceed s5,000 a year. The highest salary ever offered a minister 10 preach in New York, and given out in a public call. was $1S,000 year and a house. offered last year by the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, and declined. Several ministers re ceive $15,000 a year, and there are a dozen or more who get S12.000. These salaries are the highest in the world. A minister in London who gets $3,000 a year is near the top, In New York he Is near the bottom.

Still another use for automobiles. The town of Jamaica, L. l., had an unpleasant time when a main burst and the water supply was shut off completely. To say nothing of the an- noyance, inconvenience and danger in private dwellings, the orphan asylum and other institutions were subjected to especially distressing experiences, To meet at least partially the demand an automobile service was organized. the machines going with tanks, bar rels and other receptacles to points where water could be obtained and bringing it to those in need. This was at best but poor substitute for the regular system, yet it proved that in time of stress the auto is valuable auxiliary.

Treat Peevish Zoo Python

CTS fearlessly took the creature from the reptile wiggled for half hour while the three keepers tried to straighten 1t out so that it could be stuffed. And they had to be extreme ly careful. for if the python should coil itself around the body of one of him to death. After a hard struggle the big snake was forced to swallow two roosters which had been pur- chased in Bronx butcher shop for the banquet.
 In captivity the regal python Is vicious and resents any familiarity on the part of the keeper. While con- fined it prefers to feed on poultry and can engulf without difficulty. as 1t did few days ago. two eight pound roosters in full feather Two such fowls usually constitute square meal. but very hungry snake of this spe- cies will consume four chickens of this size and be ready for more with in ten days time.
 During the first few months of confinement very large specimens of this variety of snake appear to sui fer from the restraints of captivity, and refuse food. Whenever a large serpent is thus languishing and ap- preaching suicidal end, 1t is neces- sary to feed 1t by force and thus coun- teract it's sluggish appetite General. ly young rabbits are killed and tied together with twine; the snake is then held by the keepers as nearly straight as possible and by means of a pole the meal Is forced down its throat distance of about six feet. Food thus administered usually changes the snakes demeanor toward captivity. With such meal once di- gested, there comes an appetite for food. which usually can be detected by the snakes actions, although for a time the reptile may lack sufficient courage to feed voluntarily. Atten- ton on the part of the keeper usually renders repetition of compulsory feeding unnecessary, although occa- .sional specimens are very stubborn as in the case of Czarina at the park
