OF Whistler Lady st. Heller in
Memories of Fifty Years" writes
thus: He was genius and had all
the defects and qualities of one. To
him everything was Joke, the sub
ject of bonmot. The lightest and
daintiest of persifage was what he
excelled in, and one never had dull
moment in his company. He was al
ways late for dinner. arranging the
immortal lock of gray hair In Its
proper place as he came into the room,
with apologies and excuses, none of
them true-of which he was perfectly
conscious and also of the fact that
his host and hostess knew that they
were not. Wherever he was there
would be circle listening to him, and
his ringing laugh would be heard all
over the room as he sent his shafts
right and left into the joints of the
armor of those who were attacking
him. 1t was great surprise and al
most shock when he appeared as a
benedict"

Women of the Eufure.

There Is not country in the land
but bristles with Jane Austen women,
says writer. With good many ex-
ceptions, one would not be sorry to
see them go. They are kindly, but
small-deadly small.
The woman of the future is not of
this type. She is far too busy to be
womanish, but she will never grow out
OF being feminine. She is shedding
her smallness. Like the genie in the
Arabian Nights, now the cork has
been removed, she is darkening the
whole sky like pillar of smoke; but
presently the smoke will settle into "a
figure of gigantic size" She will be
the Meredith woman, softened by real
ity, as Galatea softened into life.
She will not glide about with up
lifted finger like Agnes, nor drive tired
men to distraction with her prattle,
like Dora, nor weep eternally when
George is unkind, like Amelia. No,
when she feels hysterical she will go
and sit on Himalaya till she is cool
er, and when her husband annoys her
out of her usual placidity, sticking a
few pigs in Texas or India will soon
put her straight. And with it all she
will wear her frills as we'll as ever.

DECREASE I'M BIRD LIFE.
Whole Species Extinguished by Pot
Hunters I'm One Generation.

Hunters I'm One Generation.
In times of record the chief birds
absolutely to drop from human sight
are the dodo (16S1), great aux (1S44),
Nestor Productus parrot (1S5D, and
Pallas' cormorant (recently). These
can only be reconstructed from skins
and bones and old descriptions.
New Workers remember when the
Labrador duck was common in the
market. Sailors easily shot and
brought 1t to port by thousands. Now
only three are preserved In all the
world. Walter Rothschild of England
has two Of them-one obtained from
Gordon Plummer of Brookline, Mass,
who bought 1t In Fulton Market, New
York, In 1860; the other from william
butcher of New York. by whom 1t
was received from the widow of a man
named Thompson, who shot 1t In the
St. Lawrence River in 1852. Nine
years afterward one was killed on
Grand Manan, and four years later
the last to be known was shot by J. q.
Bell, who sold its skin to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington.
You see how carefully the roll is
called and identifications are made
when the battle is over. The battle Is
about over for the beautiful passenger
pigeon. In 184S it came down the
Hudson River In such numbers that
the then owner of "Claremont," near
the place where Grants Tomu now is,
shot from his roof 100 In morning.
Twenty-eight years later pigeon
nesting near Petoskey, Mich, oc-
eupied an area twenty-eight miles
long, averaging four miles wide, That
season (according to freighting rec
ords) billion passenger pigeons were
destroyed in Michigan. when roosting,
by guns, bludgeons and pots of sui
phur. Railroads had been laid and
markets were ready. The birds sold
in New York for cent apiece.
Nobody has noted passenger
pigeon, and proved it. since 1900. The
only attested living specimens for
years past were in captivity. A few
were in the Cincinnati Zoo, few in
Milwaukee; others had been bred from
a single pair owned by Prof. G. y
Whitman of Chicago University. Six
years ago Prof. Whitman's refused fur
ther to interbreed. All that were
known were presently dead, except
one male In Cincinnati and one female
in the Whitman aviary. The lone fe-
male was sent 20 the disconsolate male.
OF the tremendous flocks which once
flew over the United States, only these
two birds are left.-Everybody's Maga.

.ro Express our Appreciation.h

John Smith, says a writer in the
Monson Register, had worked for the
Valve Corporation for forty-two years,
and decided to quit. The company, In
consideration of his long and faithful
service, arranged to give him none

The superintendent of the works, a
German, was asked to present 1t. He
was advised to use a little sentiment
in making the presentation speech, and
this .s the way he did 1t:

would not be so difficult to keep the
boy and girl under the parental roof.
A happy, joyous home is a power
full magnet to child and man. The
sacred memory of it has kept many
person from losing his self-respect
and from the commission of crime.
Fun is the cheapest and best medi-
cine in the world for your children
as well as for yourself. Give it to
them in good, large doses. It wifi
not only save you doctors bills, but
it will also help to make your chill
dren happier, and will improve their
chances in life. The very fact that
the instinct to play-the love of fun
is so imperious in the child shows
great necessity in its nature which
if suppressed will leave a famine In
its life. A sunny, joyous, happy child
hood is to the individual what rich
soil and genial sun are to the young
plant. If the early conditions are not
favorable, the plant becomes starved.
This Is true with the human plant.
A starved, suppressed, stunted child
hood makes dwarfed man. A joyous.
happy, fun-loving environment devel-
ops powers, resources and possibilities
which would remain dormant in a
cold, repressing environment.

Twenty-Five years ago, during the

over his ruined field for the last time
before trekking back to Vermont, no.
ticed that in the tracks made by his
old lame mule, where the soil was
packed by the weight of the animal,
the wheat had grown strong and tall
AS a result of this observation South
Dakota now harvests one of the larg-
est wheat crops of any state In the
union, and Is filled with prosperous
farmers, while the erstwhile discour-
aged farmer himself, H. w. Campbell,
is owner Of five big wheat farms ag-
gregating 5000 acres, which produce
an average of sixty bushels an acre,
says a Lincoln (Neb.) correspondent
OF the New York Herald. He Is known
as the Bonanza Farmer" of the west.
And all because lame mule tramped
across his wheat field one day.
The good stalks of grain growing
in the mule tracks and surrounded by
puny stems set Campbell to thinking.

Professor Mahaffy, the oldest English

From 1t he evolved new system of
farming. His neighbors laughed at
him and remained poor while Camp
bell grew wealthy. When he wanted
new tools with which to farm accord
ing to his new ideas, the farm imple-
ment manufacturers made light of his
ideas. Campbell made his own tools,
and today they are being manufac-
tured In Odessa, Arad, Hungard,
Hyderabad and half dozen cities In
the United States.
He wanted to tell the western farm
ers what he had discovered, so he
turned editor and has had the salts
faction of seeing his articles repro
duced in dozen different languages,
One of these, an article on soil value,
was translated into Russian by Tschai-
kowsky, the Russian political writer,
while he was a prisoner In the fortress
OF Peter and Paul at st. Petersburg.

through the great wheat country OF. the
