Yawn a Yawn Whenever =
You Feel Like Yawnihg

A good, wide, open mouthed
yawn is thing not to be de-
spised. OF course, IL 1t is indulg-
ed in the privacy of your own
room so much the better, but,
wherever taken, it's splendid
thing for the whole body. A
yawn is natures demand for rest.
Some people think they yawp
only because they are sleepy. but
that Is not so. They may he
sleepy also, but that is not the
real cause of the yawning. They
are sleepy because they are tired.
So take this advice. Whenever
you feel like yawning yawn. Don't
try to suppress 1t, and IL you are
where you can stretch at the
same time so much the better
This is natures way of stretch
ing and relaxing the muscles.
Even If you do not feel like yawn-
ing there is nothing that will rest
you so quickly as to sit straight
back in a chair, lift the feet from
the floor, push them out in front

Who could it be-a robber? Yes
in his fright Harry was sure 1t was
a robber.
"Hey, there!" he called.
Harry's heart stood still. Prob
ably in another second he would
say, Money or your life." Then
what was to be done? He hadn't
any money. His watch, his pre-
cious Christmas watch that really
told time, would have to be given
|up. The robber was coming near
Ter. All Harry could think of was
to run, run, run. He started pell-
NELL, and ran right into the
lrobber.
"Here, take it," he cried, as he
thrust the watch into a hand and
dashed madly on. ], think no little
boy ever ran so fast as he did fol-
a few minutes. Then he saw the
light shining from the kitchen
window, and was soon stumbling In
at the door. Before he could gel
his breath to tell the dreadful
tale, brother Dick came in, holding
out something in his hand and

HOW AN UMBRELLA
49, SHOULD BE ROLLED

The process of rolling an UNI
brella up neatly is simple. The
majority of people hold It by the
handle and keep twisting the
stick. Instead of this. they should
take hold of the umbrella Just
above the ribs of the cover.
+ These points naturally lie even
iy with the stick. They should
be kept hold of and pressed tight
ly against the stick and then the
cover should be rolled up. Hold
ing the ribs thus prevents them
from getting twisted. out OF place,
or bending out of shape, and the
silk Is bound to follow evenly and
foil smooth and tight. If an UNI
brella is rolled in this fashion
until 1t is old enough to look
rusty it will look as IL newly
bought.

Every year. according to an old GUS
tom. In the second quarter OF the Sep
TENDER or October moon. the inhabit-
ants OF the Chinese province Of Shan
tung so to Mongolia to hunt the eagles
which abound In that region. The
huntsmen march In troops along the
roads, carrying on their shoulders long
poles from which are suspended their
baggage and provisions and on which
are perched tame eagles to be used as
decoys-
The hunters make use OF a large net,
spread open on the grand and baited
with small dried fishes. In the midst
OF which Is placed tame eagle. The
decoy naturally begins to devour the
bait and thus invites it's wild cousins
to follow its example. When the birds
have alighted and are feeding the
hunter. from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant. quickly
closes the net by means of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The
feathers are used in the manufacture
OF fans aud are sold Mt a high price
even in China. There are three sorts

ma. white spotted with black; Tout

eral eagles contribute to the making
OF n fan, for only a small part Of the
plumage can be utilized; hence these
fans are very costly.

Changes In the Partridges of the Ca
nary Islands.
A remarkable example OF the effects
Of environment and changed condi-
tons OF life upon the forms OF ami
mails is furnished by II species OF par
fridge living in the Canary islands
Over 400 years ago the Spaniards in
trOduced the red legged partridge from
Europe into these islands. and the bird
has continued TO flourish there; but, as
recent examination proves. IL has I'M
dergone notifications clearly brought
about by the conditions under which
II lives.
Its back has turned from russell
color to gray. This looks like pro
tective coloration. since the bird passes
its life among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that Of its
ancestors and OF its European rela-
lives. and its legs also have increased
in length and grown stouter.
These changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit It to the life that
1t Is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountain sides OF
the islands. where a more rigorous
physical development is required than
was needed in its former home.-Har-

The Guilty. Stool.

The Guilty stool was the seat Of re-
pentance formerly employed in the
Scottish church for the exposure Of
offenders against the moral law. The
transgressor. having been deprived OF
church ordinances and duly taken to
task privately. WAS then compelled to
make a public acknowledgmento OF the
misdeed print To being restored to
favor. Each culprit did penance by
occupying the Guilty stool in the pres
ence OF the whole congregation and
was openly lectured 10y the minister
on the enormity Of the Offense.
