A VERY QUEER BIRD.

The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
 Upon the Scientists.
 Mark Twain's father was an ornithol- ogist. He had several friends who were also enthusiasts on the subject of birds Whenever any one of them dis covered a rara avis it was the custom to have a consultation. Mark had been q witness of several of these bird in. quests and had noted the delight the old men took in discussing a new found specimen One day it occurred to him to provide the Hannibal orni- biologists with real circus in the form of bird. He killed a crow and also barnyard rooster. Plucking out the tail feathers of both the crow and the rooster, he substituted the rooster's tail feathers for those of the crow, pro ducing unique effect. When he had the specimen nicely prepared he went to his father and, handing it to him. said:
 Here. father, is very curious bird I shot thought you would be inter- ested in it'
 The old gentleman gazed upon the specimen with astonishment. That evening the ornithologists of Hannibal were assembled in Mir. Clemens par lor The rare specimen was put be- fore them. The discussion was long and learned The opinions expressed were various. One thought the bird was an offshoot of the bird of para disc family; others had equally ridicu- Ious notions as to its ancestry. But there was one who refused to be swerved by the peculiarity of the birds tail from the judgment that it was of the crow family.
 ''Why, just look here," he said. lift ing the bird by it's tail feathers. He got no further The feathers came out. There was a quick closing of door. Mir. Clemens started to leave the room.

The Commons.

The ''second chamber" or "com- mons,' or popular assembly," or house of representatives" as 1t is variously termed, takes us back to the hattie between the Patricians and Plebs in republican Rome. In the Ian guage of very high authority on the subject, ''The first real anticipation of second (popular) chamber. armed with veto on the proposals of sep arate authority and representing diff feEent interest (the interest of the body ot the people as opposed to the inter est of the hitherto dominant aristoc- racy), occurs in the Roman tribunate." !" When the Roman Plebs got their tribunes the very beginning of the modern machinery of the commons or house of representatives was estab- iished New York American.

Mercury Laden swords.

Inserting running mercury In the backs of swords was a comparatively common practice among the Italian, French and Spanish swordmakers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centu- ries, but it was more of fancy than anything else, for it never came into general use. It was not. of course, used for rapiers or the lighter kind of swords, but for the heavier cutting swords. The method was to cast the blade rather broader at the back than usual, with hollow running down 1t. This was half filled with quicksilver and sealed up. The idea was that when a blow was struck with such a sword the quicksilver would fly to the point and so increase the weight of the blow. This theoretical advantage, how ever, did not at all counterbalance the general clumsiness of the weapon and its unhandiness in guarding, and so the mercurial swords, as they were called, from which their ingenious in- ventor hoped so much, were rather military curiosities than practical sue cesses.
 Cheerfulness is one of the surest in dtcations of good sense.

WHY SALvES FAIL
 no euRE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid is required, not an outward salVe that clogs the pores.
 We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Pre- scription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, win instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from it's use. We recommend it t@ our patrons.
