WASHINGTON, d. c.. March A.
Many messages of congratulation have
been received at the home Of Alexan
der Graham BeH in anticipation Of the
birthday anniversary of the inventor
of the telephone. Professor Bell was
born in Edinburgh, Scotland. and was
sixty-hve years old Sunday. He
made his first experiments with the
telephone while residing in Brantford,
Ont. The invention was placed on
exhibition at the Philadelphia centen-
NAL exposition and a short time later
the first practical line was put in OPP
Grafton between Boston and Salem.
Professor Bell is one of the few great
inventors who has lived to see the
fruition of his invention and also reap
the financial benefit of 1t. For q num-
Der Of years the inventor has made
Washington his winter residence. He
has a summer home and laboratory in
Nova Scotia. where he has conducted
experiments with view to perfecting
the flying-machine.

RIDING THE BUZZARD.
The Riesbird Uses His Bulky Ensmy
a. an Aeroplane.

The Riesbird Uses His Bulky Ensmy
~ an Aeroplane.
People generally associate size and
brute strength with victory. especially
among the lower animals. Many times
however, this is far from being the
case. especially in the bird kingdom.
Among the rice fats of the Carolinas
there abound at some seasons Of the
year tiny ricebirds. birds SO small that
it takes two dozen for q good meal.
though bones and all are eaten.
The great buzzard is found circling
over the flats at all seasons. He breads
the time for the ricebird to come. for
he is then nearly pestered to death. 1t
Is a common sight to see one of these
little birds fly up to a buzzard and,
after lodging this way and that round
the awkward bulk, finally alight we'll
forward between the buzzard's wings
on the back. Here the tiny passenger
grabs a few feathers in his beak and
holds on for grim life. After enjoying
a ride for as long as he desires the
little fellow hops OF and is gone before
Mr.. Buzzard IL well aware Of it.
The peculiar part Of the whole thing
Is that apparently the only purpose the
ricebird has In getting on the back Of
the buzzard is to take a free ride 1t
puzzles every one who chances to see
the little drama to find any other rea.
son. yet the fact remains that it Is a
frequent occurrence and the little
birds seem to enjoy it Immensely

CHINESE ART.
Materials the Painter Uses and His
Methods Of Work.

Materiais the Painter Uses and His
Methods Of Work.
Chinese painting is very frequently
described us calligraphic-that is to
say. closely allied to or derived from
handwriting. lnasmuch as Chinese
handwriting is brush work Of high
order. It follows that every Chinese
who can write well has the making Of
a skilled mechanical artist in black
and white. He has fine delicacy and
1exibility Of touch. SO that. II he pos
sesses any bent for transferring to pa
per representations Of objects Of ma
ture or the imagination. he would be
expected to produce work having Q
special character.
The nature Of the material used.
such as slightly absorbent paper and
sized silk and thin water color. also
leads to work having a special charac
ter. A member Of any western rnce
would have great diniculty in painting
a picture on kind Of blotting paper
with a Chinese pen filled with thin
watery pigment. These characters.
however. give the Chinese painting fts
chief charm. Birds and flowers and
landscapes and figures are put in once
and for all with no possibility Of SUBJ
seQuent touching up.
They are painted with unerring
strokes Of the brush. and the result Is
a clean, vigorous and living picture.
The Chinese artist. as rule. spends
a long time thinking out his picture
and then rapidly dashes 1t in.-Chica-

ten a message to the women of Am

those who heed it. She says:
Every Spring for some years l
have been debilitated, having general
weakness and feeling tired and worn
out all the time. This spring l de-
termined l would fight it off with vi
mol. Vinol has done all that was
claimed for 1t. 1t has given me new
strength and vigor, l can eat heartily
and my sleep is light and refreshing.
Il wish every tired-out woman could
know what great good Vinol would
do her" Spring is the most trying
time of year for most people, and it
is we'll to know that Vinol, our deli
cious cod liver and iron remedy
without oil. is the most valuable
spring medicine.
Its blood enriching and strength
creating effects are just what one
needs, and as We will certainly give
back your money if you are not sat
1sfied with Vinol, you ought to get
a bottle right away. Leo H. Fihe,

The Hopi Indian believes that the
souls of all deceased adults 60 to the
Grand canyon. When a man dies a
grave is dug. The nearest relative Of
the deceased carries the body to the
grave. places it in a sitting posture
facing the Grand canyon. erects a long
pole between the legs. locks the dead
mans fingers around it and oils the
grave. To tho top of the pole. pro-
truding above the ground, he ties one
end of a string and leads the other
end in the direction Of the Grand can
yon. At the end Of four days 1t Is
believed the soul leaves the body,
climbs the pole and with the string to
guide 1t goes to its eternal home in the
canyon.
The Navajos. ON the contrary, are
very superstitious about handling dead
bodies. They believe that the evil

lodge. awaiting other victims, and q
hogan in which a death occurs is never
occupied again. Navajo hogans are
always built with the entrance facing
the east When q death occurs in one
Of them an opening Is invariably made
in the north side. Therefore when one
sees a hogan with the north side
knocked out he may be certain some
one has died in it.-Dillon Wallace in

Every one has noticed the beautiful
colors in the large glass jars that stand
in the drug store windows. but every
one does not know why drug stores use
that sign. In the old days apothecaries
and alchemists were the only druggists.
and they made up their own nostrums.
the composition Of which was supposed
to be great secret. They used to
leave their retorts and Jars and stills
and bottles in the window to impress
upon the passersby the mystery and
importance Of their business. The
modern drug store has no use for re-
torts and stills. all the processes being
handled by the big chemical factories,
but the large jars full of bright colored
liquids are still left in the window. Just
as they were hundreds Of years ago.

Willing to Hotp.

Vice President Sherman desires to
maintain order in the senate and fire.
quently calls down the body in general
terms without singing out any pardcu-
lar man. 1t often happens that when
a dry and prosy speaker has the floor a
group Of senators will begin telling
stories and make a great deal Of con-
fusion with their laughter. On one &C.
casion group was listening to Senator
Taylor Of Tennessee. and the mirth was
rather uproarious They paid no atten-
ton to the Cavel of the vice president
nor to the frowns Of the speaker.
Finally Sherman sent u note to the
group which read. "If that fellow who
thinks he is making a speech is inter-
fering with one Of Bob Taylor's stories
shall call him to order.
