The Claws of Birds.

Let us note that the art OF standing be-
gan with birds. Frogs sit, and, as tar as
| know, every reptile, be it lizard, croco-
die, alligator or tortoise, lays its body on
the ground when not actually carrying it.
And these have each four fat legs. Con-
trast the flamingo, which, having only
two, and those like willow wandS, tucks
up one OF them and sleeps poised high on
the other, like tulip on its stem.
Note also that one toe has been alto
gether discarded by birds as superfluous.
The germ or bud must be there, for the
Dorking fowl has produced tiith toe IN
der some influence of the poultry yard,
but no natural bird has more than four.
Except IN swiIts. which never perch,
but cling to rocks and walls, one is tnrn-
ed backward, and by cunning contri-
vance the act of bending the leg draws
them all automatically together. Soa hen
closes its toes al every every step it takes
as lift grasped something, and, OF course,
when if settles down on its roost they
grasp that tight and hold it fast till morn
ing.
But TO birds that do not perch this me-
chanism is only an incumbrance, so many
OF them like the plovers abolish the hind
toe entirely, and the prince OF all two
legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid oi
one OF the front toes also, retaining only

Nobody Told.

We associate courage and reticence
with the highest type of character Cour-
age is most often displayed when some
thing mustbe done quickly; and reticence,
although not so spectacular, is usually
manifested by men or women of noble
family traditions and high training. OF
less disciplined folk we say critically,
"They tell all they know, and more,
too!
But no sooner have settled generall-
zation in regard TO human nature in given
conditions than an exception arises to
destroy it.
A few months ago an ocean steamer
with thousand passengers on board was
three days out from New York on the
way to Liverpool when the chief engineer
discovered fire in one compartment Of
the hold. The work of subduing the fire
could not begin too soon. HatcheS were
battened down and sealed, that not an
ounce of air should feed the hungry flame.
Steam was pumped in. Smoke was
pumped out. As the heat still increased,
carbonic acid gas was injected in large
quantities. That at last stopped the rise
OF temperature in the ventilating stacks.
q Meantime upon the discovery of the
fire, the order had been given: ''Tell
every officer and every member OF the
crew, including stewards and StewardeSs-
eSS; but caution them that no word OF the
accident be breathed to any paSSenser." "
So the days paSSed-Slowly, anxiouSly,
silently, for the scores OF men and wom-
en- to whom the safety and the service OF
the ships company were entrusted;
pleasantly and without care for the pas
SengerS. The twenty StewardeSSeS, as
it to dlsprove woRan's proverbial inabii-
ty to keep secret, went on their placid,
helpful way. There were double hours
Of duty for every one. No one OF the
company's servants undreSSed for five
nights. Chief engineer and captain had
but two hours sleep in the five days.
When the Liverpool dock was reached
the secret had been kept. Not a paSSen-
ger dreamed of danger. Not a nervous
woman had been i'll by apprehension.
Not child had been less merry because
there was monster eating at the heart
of the ship.
When the last person and the last piece
OF luggage were landed, the moment came
to open the hold. The hatch was lifted.
and with roar the flames eaped high
above the upper deck. But the Liver
pool fire department made short work OF
them. The great ship and its resources
had stood the test. The'men and women
who served it had proved themselves as
Staunch as its steel.
Moreover when some one praises them
for courage and silence, they enter slow
English protest, "Oh, that's all in our
job"

A New Fable.

A new fable is told by Edward J.. SHY,
a well-known eastern advertising mana
ger in pointers" II follows:
This story give TO you just as ! heard
il from man who employs many men.
He said that in his plant il was an ef-
fective eye-opener for the fellows who
think il pays ito sit down in The traces"
Down in Virginia farmer had an OK
ard mule that he hitched together 10
plow. One night after several days OF
continuous blowing and after the OK and
mule had been stabbed and provendered
for the night the OK said TO the mule:
"We've been workin' pretty hard, let's
play off sick tomorrow and lie here In The
stalls all day"
"You can il you wantto," returned the
mule, "but believe III go TO work"
SO the next morning when the farmer
came out the OK played off sick; the farm
er bedded him down with clean straw,
gave him fresh hay, bucket OF oats and
bran mixed, left him for the day and went
forth alone with the mule to plow.
All that day the OK lay in his stall,
chewed his cud and nodded, slowly.
blinking his eyes and gently swishing his
tail.
That night when the mule came In the
OK asked him how they got along plow-
ing alone all day.
"WelI," said the mule. iii was hard
and we didn't get much done, and
"Did the old man have anything TO say
about me2" interrupted the OK.
NO" replied the mule.
"Well, them" went on the OK, 81 be-
lieve III play off again tomorrow II was
certainly fine laying here all day and rest

"Thats up to you" said the mule. "but

So the next day the OK played off again,
was bedded down with clean straw, pro.
wondered With hay bran and oats and lay
all day nodding. blinking. chewing his
cud and gently swishing his tail.
When the mule came IN al night the OK
asked again how they had got along with

the mule, coldly.
"Did the old man have anything 10 say

Vertigo.

Vertigo is not a disease, but Symp-
tom. lis underlying causes are so num-
erous that ii would be difficult to enumer-
ate them all. II is loss OF the sense of
equilibrium OF the body, accompanied by
extreme dizziness, with a loss of the
power TO walk in straight line, or, in
excessive cases, even TO stand up, and
also by nausea and vomiting. II is a
symptom so annoying and even terrifying
to those suffering from it that the tiScov-
cry Of the reason back OF it becomes one
of great importance. -
Vertigo is sometimes one among other
indications that there is some serious dis
order 6f the brain or spinal cord, and il is
also often one of the symptoms OF heart
disease. In these cases, of course, the
organic disease is recognized, and there
is no doubt as to the reason for this par
hcular symptom among the many others.
In many instances, however, people will
COMPLAIN OF recurring attacks OF vertigo
who seem otherwise quite well, andit is
only by careful questioning and examina-
ton that the physician will be able to de-
termne what is the root of his patients
trouble.
II may be gastric in IFS origin, coming
on suddenly after full meal, and accom-
panied with headache and sometimes
dimpesS of vision. Gastric and bilious
vertigoS are relieved by any treatment
that enables the system to do its work
properly and carry off the polsons that
are producing autotoXication.
Vertigo is often one of the symptoms
complained OF by the nervous or the ane-
mic patients. If there are found at the
same time the usual accompaniments OF
the nervous state, such as a history OF
overStrain, a lack of nerve force, a con-
slant feeling of fatigue, the vertigo may
be safely considered part OF the general
condition, especially if it is rather mild in
type but occurring often.
When vertigo accompanies anemia II is
probably cerebral, that is TO say, a direct
consequence of poor supply OF blood to
the brain.
When vertigo is due TO eye-Strain II IS
usually not very severe, but persistent,
growing better if the eyes are kept shut,
and disappearing for time when they are
rested. As soon as the eyes have been
properly fitted with glasses this type OF
vertigo will Immediately cease.
Many physicians place ear trouble very
high in the list of the causes OF vertigo,
and wherever it is complained OF the ear
examination should be extremely thor
ough. 1t may be simplymechanical in its
odgin-the presence OF hardened wax or
foreign body in the ear; or there may be
serious trouble in the labyrinth OF the ear,
calling for immediate and radical treat
ment.

In the RoYaI Guard.

King Frederick OF Prussia was always
very anxious to have large, welI-built
men in the Royal Guard. No matter
what the cost, his recruiting officers were
under no restrictions in obtaining them.
Upon one occasion the recruiting officer
discoyefed a very tall lrishman. he
spoke TO him in English, and proposed
that he should enlist A soldiers lite,
and especially the large bounty, proved
a great inducement, and Tim consented.
"But you must learn TO speak German,
or the king will not pay you so much, y
said the officer.
"Och sure" said Tim, 'an' ! don't be
able TO schpake a word O. German y
"Never mnd," sain the officer, "you
can learn in a short time. The king
knows every man in the guard. AS soon
as he sees you, he will ride up and ask
you how old you are. You must say,
'Sieben und zwanzig. Next he will ask
how long you have been in the service
you will answer, 'Dreiwochen.' Then
he generally asks whether you are prop
erlg provided with food and clothes; you
answer, 'Beides (both).'"
Tim soon learned his German answers,
but forgot 10 famiIiarize himself with The
questions. In three weeks he appeared
before the king in review. Suddenly his
royal highHess rode up TO him. Tim
stepped forward and presented arms.
"How old are you?" asked the king.
Three weeks" said Tim in German.
"How long have you been in the ser
vice 2"
"Twenty-seven years." faithfully an
swered Tim.
cam ! fool or are you one ?" thun-
dered the king.
both, /" replied poor Tim; whereupon
he was Immediately sent to the guard
house. Later, when the king had the
matter explained to him, Tim was par
doned.

A Bit of Discipline.

A reprimand which takes the form OF a
Joke is sometimes more effectual than a
burst of anger. Such an example was
furnished by a Confederate officer, and
described by T. o. Moore in his "Anec-
dotes of General Cleburne" The South
ern army, marching across the mountains
of Georgia, had its supply-trainS cut off,
and was obliged to live upon the country.
Apples, chesinutS and perSimmons
were plenty, but the army had strict or
ders not TO depredate upon private prop
erty. One day was trudging along in
the rear OF General Granbury'S brigade
when saw, down the road, ,IGeneral Gle
burne sitting on the top rail OF a fence,
while below HIM lay five or six bushels
of fine red apples. Near by stood num-
Der of soldiers who looked as mean as
men could look.
General Granbury saluted General Gle
burne, who remarked:
"l'm.peddling apples to-day"
"How'S that?"
"These gentlemen, 'iipointing to the
soldiers whoihad stolenIthe apples, "nave
been very kind. They have gathered
apples for me and charged nothing. III
give them TO you and your men. Now
get down and take one, and each Of your
men take one, only one. mind you, until
all are gone"
TIE invitation was accepted, the men
cheering for "Old Pat" When the ap-
pies were gone, the general made each
man who had stolen the apples carry
rail for mile or two.

The Three Old Ladies.

There was an old lady all dressed in silk,
Who lived on lemons and buttermik;
And. thinking this world was sour old place,
She carried its acid all over her face.
Another old lady. all dressed in patches,
Lived upon nothing but lucifer matches;
So the world, it made her strangle and cough
And sure as you rubbed her you set her of.
And another old lady, all sunny and neat
Who lived upon sugar and everything sweet
Exclaimed when she heard OF their trouble
IL never
For the world is so nice could live on forever.
Now children. take your choice
OF the foods your hearts shall eat
There are sourish thoughts. and birthstone
Thoughts
And thoughts all good and sweet;
And whatever the heart feeds on,
Dear children trust TO me,
Is precisely what this queer old world
Will seem TO you 10 be.
Mary Mapes Dodge.
