Where starIinas Bring Ruin.

In "Quiet Days In Spain" the au-
thor, G. B. Huffman. describes the raw
ages of the starlings in hacienda de-
voted to raising muscatel raisins near
Malaga:
dogs and goats are very fond Of
grapes and are only kept of them by
rural guards, but the greatest enemy
Of all is the starting. This bird flies
bver from Africa in such millions as
literally to darken the earth. When
ever they camp for the night they
leave desert. Every particle Of fruit,
leaf, tender shoot and piece Of soft
bark vanishes. AS the saying is,
Many crops spell various fortunes; one
crop Of starlings spells ruin The
blowing Of a southern wind and the
sound Of wings in the air produces
panic, mems faces blanch with terror.
In despair, bells are rung, guns fired,
torches lighted. and donkeys, mules
and horses are galloped up and down
and round about to scare los bichos'-
the beasts-as they are termed"

WOMEN OF FRANCE.

They Are the Bosses Even Though the
Men Won't Admit It.
The women Of France have been de-
scribed as the backbone Of the French
nation. The remark applies more to
the middle class than to the aristoc-
racy. The bourgeOlse, truly hepmeet
to her husband, Is In fact more often a
manager and as a rule efficient In that
capacity. IL is she who carries on the
little shop, while her husband, perhaps
nomlnally the head, runs errands at
her bidding Not that the Frenchman
would admit that; nevertheless It is the
truth. 1t may be, too, that he has bust
ness interests elsewhere as well. Thus
he may work for the railway or for
some other enterprise.
In Paris one enters an attractive lit
tie picture or jewelry shop on the Rue
de Rivol. A smiling Frenchwoman
comes forward to cajole the tourist into
buying all sorts Of fascinating things
he really does not want. 1t Is the same
at the shops where are sold kodak
supplies and postcards-nOt man to
be seen except as purchaser.
If one ferrets out little hardware
store and goes In to buy rope or nails
or anything Of that sort, there may be
man, the proprietor probably, to hunt
for just what is desired, but even then
his wife sits at the desk, guarding the
money drawer and keeping close
watch over all that Is happening.
Likewise at the butchers madame
sits in state at the receipt Of cash
The case is the same at the grocers,
where she gives out change and keeps
the accounts No mere hirellng is to be
trusted with such weighty matters
All customers should stop TO greet the
mistress Of the shop as they enter and
must on no account forget their "Bon
jour, madameg on departing. These
little courtesies are among the essen
tials with the French, and If the for
eigner forgets or neglects them he fire.

Magazine. stands on the very summit
of hill more than 200 feet high at
Camp Meeker, summer resort in SO.
noma county, Cal II was Captain
Meeker, an old pioneer, who first con.
celved the idea OF building tower on
the very summit of high hill near his
hotel, and while looking around one
day for a suitable site he found -four
young redwood trees standing about
twelve feet apart, representing a per
feet square. The trees were each
about 100 feet high. Fifty feet Of each
top was Topped of. and the work Of
building six stories was then com
menced. From top to bottom the liv
ing tower was a hundred feet high.
Each floor is about IL by u feet and
rests on strong timbers, the ends Of
which are securely attached to the four
trees by means Of steel cables and
bolts. SO strongly was every part
braced that the whole structure does
not move as much as one would natu-
rally suppose. even when rocked by
heavy winds. In the building great
care was taken by the workmen to cut
only the branches growing on the In
side of the square. and the trees were
not chopped, mutilated or weakened
any more than could be avoided.
Leading up from each story are
broad stalrways, no that one may as
cend and descend with ease and per
feet safety, while around the edge OF
each floor are strong rallings to pro.
vent accidents Since this tower was
completed the trees have grown aud
fiourished just as well as before. This
living tower is claimed to be the only
one OF Its kind In the world.
