CHICK SWALLOWS ITS TONGUE
Owner Rescues UnruIy Member, But the Sick Fowl Dies Not Long
 Afterward.

Lebanon, Pa.-Out in the neighbor- hood of Buzzard's Glory, this county, lives a woman who probably knows more about chickens than any other person in the county. She Is Mrs. Sarah Sinclaire and she tells of a freakish prank played by one of her own chickens.
 Seeing the youngster. but a few days old, which she thought by it's action was afflicted with bad case of gapes, she caught it, opened it's bill and discovered that the chicken had no tongue. She was very puzzled. but decided to take chance, so ran a horse hair down its throat and when she pulled it out 1t brought forth a piece of bread which the chicken had swallowed.
 The miraculous part of the story is that the bread had become wrapped around the chicks tongue and it had actually swallowed the tongue along with the bread. In a few hours the chick died.

DANGER IN THE LARGE HAT
1t Is Now Declared That Wearing IL Tends to Make Woman
 Bald.

New York.-The gigantic hat is still fashionable in London and Paris, de- spite the ridicule heaped upon it by masculine critics. A London hair specialist now declares that the big hat is dangerous as well as ridiculous, a London letter to the New York Sun says He warns women that if they persist in wearing big hats they will lose their hair. The specialist said:
 AS grass turns yellow under a mushroom. so women's hair will lose it's color and deteriorate under the gigantic hats which are now the mode. There is every possibility of the fair sex going bald unless revolution in hats is effected.
 First of all. these enormous noun tains of millinery shut out the health giving sun and air. Secondly, they present such vast surfaces to the wind that they tug against the detaining hatpins like a kite on a string. For both reasons they injure the hair"

Faith in Himself.

Men of unusual capacity generally know their power perfectly well, but the majority of them are too reserved to express this knowledge. The artist Millais, however, writes J. D. Reid, was as open and frank as boy in express ing his belief in himself.
 When the Leyland collection was on view, previous to it's dispersal, Millais went to see it, and openly asserted that his Five of St. Agnes" was the best picture there. This egotism was part of his character, thing it was impos- sible to resent on account of the man. ner in which it was expressed.
 Millais never lost the self-confdence of youth. In this respect, as in many others. he remained boy to the end. Neither was the egotistic note confined to art matters His public speeches were invariably about himself; his con- yersation on all subjects was impreg- mated with the essence of sincere con- yiction of his own authority to speak. He liked to be always right; and such were his grasp of realities and his pow CT of reasoning that it required very strong evidence and very clever argu- ment to convince him that he was wrong

separating Then.

MT. Grubb, an elderly bachelor, hay ing been troubled for a week or two with a pain in his back, went to his doctor. The physician, who was just starting to see a patient, prescribed two large porous plasters, and told him to call again in about fortnight and report.
 MT Grubb complied with directions. He went to a drug store and bought the plasters, and after prolonged struggle with them in his own room succeeded in getting them properly in place. Being very small man, however, the two nearly covered his whole back. At the end of two weeks be called at the physicians office again.
 Well, how is your back?" asked the medical man.
 Sound as a dollar. Hasn't pained me any for ten days or more"
 Glad to hear it. You may take the plasters whenever you please"
 Not much!" exclaimed MT. Grubb, removing his coat and vest, taking of his collar and locking the door of the doctors office. q won't touch 'em. They're bigger than I am. What I want you to do now, doctor, is to pull me off the plasters."

Automobile
 Antagonists
By CARL JENKIN

Phillip Cranston was driving his automobile along a highway in the Berkshires at gait of ten miles an hour and smoking a cigar to please and soothe, when Miss Winnie Ora ham appeared in cloud of dust in an other auto and whizzed by him at gait of 30 miles and missed nim by less than a foot They looked into each others faces for a second, and they felt immediate antagonism, one to the other-he because she was reckless and had her chin in the air, and was good looking and knew 1t and she because she saw reproof in his eyes and had no patience with man who would crawl along when he could as easily fly.
 They had been staying at the same hotel for two days without seeing each other That evening they were intro duced. They had the opportunity to refer in laughing way to the incident on the road, but neither of them did. On the contrary, they bristled at each other.
 That young man thinks every girl ought to be poke, like his Slsters, was the mental comment of the young woman.
 That person is wilful as well as reckless, and rather conceited to boot" was the mental comment of the young man.
 The antagonism was there and both felt 1t, but they didn't groan and snarl and threaten. Oh, no! They would have done it in the days of Adam, but times have changed. There was one little outbreak of sarcasm as they chat. ted and sized up each other and looked for trouble. MT. Cranston quietly asked:
 Does it happen that you drive an auto?"
 There was an accent on the word drive which meant thirty or forty

TO EAT SPARROWS
NEW DISH'S POPULARITY MAY
 AID IN DETERMINATION.
Their Flesh Now Has Market Value Which Helps Naturalists Who Fa- vor Extermination-Chef Say
 They Are Good.

Washington, D. C.-Extermination of the English sparrow, desired by naturalists for the reason that these birds have in large measure driven out the native song birds, may soon be accomplished. it having been dis covered that sparrow potpie" equals some of the game food served at fash ionable cafes.
 Advance in the cost of living is re. sponsible for the adoption of the Eng fish sparrow as a food In the west and northwest, when the prices of fresh meats reached a point prohibi- tive to the poorer classes. the sugges- ton was made that the sparrow as an edible bird possessed merit worthy of consideration.
 Experiments in serving the sparrow were made, with the result that spar row potpie became popular and at- tracted attention of restaurant and cafe proprietors. who discovered that the bird could be served not only in potpie form, but on toast and in other ways not under the name of sparrow on the menu, but with some high oSuhuAh6 rTSuCH Clll6. 140 QlSu pleased patrons and at once estab- Hshed its popularity and success.
 As result of the popularity of the new dish, it is said that the great droves of English sparrows that have for years been public nuisance in all of the large cities are being killed in large numbers, the flesh of the birds having market value which will con- tribute to their extermination.
 Those who have partaken of the sparrow potpie and sparrow on toast say 1t is preferable to the reed bird, the difference in the flavor of the meat of the two birds being imperceptible even by epicureans.
 The chefs os the local hotels and cafes. while not admitting that the sparrow is being served at their ta- bles, say they can see no reason why an English sparrow should not be as good eating as many of the standard game birds popular with diners. It was said that while the birds are a little larger than the reed bird, they are tender and possess a good flavor.

HOW TOTS REGARD DOCTOR
Reason for Sudden Affection Was Not at All Complimentary to
 Physician.

A Chicago physician gleefully tells a child story at his own expense. The five children of some faithful patients had measles, and during their rather long stay in the improvised home hos pital they never failed to greet his daily visit with pleased acclamations. The good doctor felt duly flattered, but rashly pressed the children, in the days of convalescence, for the reason of this sudden affection. At last the youngest and most indiscreet let slip the bitter truth.
 we felt so sick that we wanted awfully to do something naughty, but we were afraid to be bad for fear you and the nurse would give us more hor- rid medicine. So we were awfully glad to see you. always, cause you made us stick out our tongues. We stuck 'em out awful farl"
 Another laughable doctor" story deals with little Edna. who played mother with such realistic enthusiasm that her immediate maternal ances- tor one day found the child weeping violently c-Ar supposedly defunct doll.
 My des Annie has died and gone up to heaven" the child mourned, be- tween sobs.
 What was the matter with herr" inquired the sympathetic but some what perplexed listener.
 ''She had the doctor dreadfully." came the surprising reply.

Men and Animals.

It is difficult to make out just why at this period of history there should be a sudden multiplication of plays in which the animal and vegetable kingdoms take the chief parts. The genre Is, of course, as old as Aesop, but the new century has touched 1t with a fresh tenderness, new sense of the kinship of all life. Some day a German doctor of sociology will make research studies and decide what hidden influences are at work. In the middle of the nineteenth century the peasant and the plain man rose suddenly to the pinnacle of romantic attraction. Up to this time literature had concerned itself chiefly with the aristocracy. If the peasant was in- troduced, 1t was as jester, money maker, laughing interlude. But the tragedies. difficulties. the shining gifts of life seemed to belong only to those of distinguished social position.
 Is it the influx of religious ideas from the east; is it. perhaps, an ef- feet of the renewed interest in the mystic consciousness, "the Call of the Whole" the sense of the unbroken links of life. that has sent the drama itself to the life of the trees and in- animate objects. of barnyard fowls and insects, for characters ?-Har' per's Weekly,

coURTsHIP OF A DEAF MAN
Wonders Why Mabel Lowered Gas- Whether to Encourage or Stop

The Deaf Times prints a story of two men who were seen talking on heir hands on the top of an omnibus. Their conversation ran thus:

 Well, you know, I'm in love with Mabel. At last made up my mind to propose to her. Last night made the attempt"

 "Well?"
 Well, what is bothering me is this: why did Mabel lower the gas-to en- courage me and relieve my embarrass- ment, or so that she could not see the talk and so stop my proposal?"

STRIKING A LIGHT
ODD WAYS EMPLOYED BY CIVl.
 LIZED AND SAVAGE.
World Was Thousands of Years Old Before Matches Were Known Took Chemists Years to
 Perfect Tip.

The world was thousands of years old before matches were known. The little tip of the match looks very simple, yet it is made of so many sub- stances put together that it took chem ists years to discover just what ma terials could be used in making 1t.
 Savages know nothing about match es so make their light in other ways. Sometimes the uncivilized people rub two dry pieces of wood together until one catches fire. Often they use two stones, striking one against the other until a spark falls amid some dry leaves and starts small blaze.
 The Australian bushman uses a method of his own to procure light. First he selects two pieces of light wood each about foot long from the cork tree or black fig tree. One flat piece he lays on the ground amidst pile of dry leaves. Upon this strip of wood he kneels in order to hold down the ends. Then he rolls the other pointed stick between the palms of his hands so that it bores hole into the fiat strip of wood. This makes fine wood dust, which catches on fire. sending its spark among the dry leaves. By blowing upon the tiny light the bushman soon has a fire which he feeds with more leaves.
 The Malay sailors follow much the same plan as the bushmen. They use piece of split bamboo, making a notch across it's hollow side. Saving into this notch slowly, then rapidly with sharp edged piece of bamboo. wood dust Is soon made. This catches fire and falls upon the dry leaves, which the wise sailor has placed to catch the sparks. In the forests of South America the natives often strike two stones together until lit- tie spark flies out. Instead Of using dry leaves to receive this tiny bit of fire they prefer to build little heaps of fluffy bird feathers. Striking a light" is term which has come to us from our ancestors. They struck two flint stones together until the spark flew into a finder box of charred threads of linen. This tiny light was blown into a flame. Then a match tipped with birthstone or sulphur was lighted from the little fire so that the candles or stove fires might be light ed. These finder boxes and the brim- stone matches were always kept where they were very easy to get

BOLTS ILLUME THE MINES
Lightning Flashes Play 1900 Feet Be low the Surface and Light
 Up Cavern.

Pottsville, Pa.-Lightning 1900 feet below the surface of the earth was witnessed the other evening in the mines in West Schuylkill. When ter rife thunderstorm came up the over heated earth added to the f1erceness of the electrical display. and the light ming managed to find It's way along the electric power wires to the bottom of the slopes.
 The underground workings were H. luminated and made as bright as the sun at midday; but no damage was done, although number of mules. which have not seen daylight for years, are believed to have been blind sd by the dazzling lights.
