MUTTON BIRDS IN MILLIONS.

lands Sky Every Spring.


Yearly, at the coming Of spring, the
thousand coastal islands of New Zea-
land, more especially those lying to-
ward the south, become the temporary
homes of myriads of mutton birds.
which pay a visit for the nesting sea-
son. Out of the silence of the great
southern ocean come the birds in vast
armies. Low flying over the water.
for the most part close In shore, the
huge iocks draw dark parallels Of
shadow across the seascape. The birds
fly In separate bands, disciplined and
massed In a serried whole-a continu-
Gus stream that passes between sea /.
and sky. Each army shows a front |
of perhaps a quarter of a mile. the
huge length stretching away league |
after league into interminable distance. ]
Stand on the brow of some coastal
headland and watch the passage Of
one Of these bird armies. 1t is a won
derfui sight Far below one looks
down on a heaving floor OF close pack
ed, undulating black backs, lit by a
myriad scintllations Of white tipped
wings. So close Is the floor. 8 serried
the ranks Of the fiiers, that the water
beneath is hidden as with a carpet.
Hour after hour the passage Of the
army continues. from dawn till dark
and far into the night. In the night
the noise of countless beating wings
that surges up over the cliff head tells
that the army is still on the move till
the whir Of wings and cries Of the
rear guard beating up the stragglers
grow faint in the distance and nj re-
allies that at last the mighty host has
passed on its way.-Wide World Maya

TRIPLE TRUCK
 FOR FIRE DEPT.
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS MAKES ADVANCED PURCHASE
 FOR FIRE PROTECTION.
Also Talk Of Equipping Aerial Truck With Motor Power so That VIII
 Be Ready for Emergency.

A triple auto truck for the fire de partment is the latest in the fire pro lection affairs of Hot Springs Yes terday morning the board of public affairs made a contract for the pur- chase of one of the most advanced auto fire trucks ever made Chief Bedding of the fire department, and agents of the company had been go- ing over the situation for several days
 The triple combination truck will cost the city 5000, of which sum 5000 is to he paid on January l. 1913, and the remaining $4,000 on January i. 1914 The estimate on equipping the aerial truck for first class ser vice is at cost of S2.500. but this contract has not been let by the board of public affairs
 The new triple truck is fire en- zine, chemical wagon. and hose wag- on. combined It is an auto truck, which will facilitate getting to the fires, and is also said to have proven much cheaper in maintenance than to keep horses.
 There is also much consideration being given the matter of equipping the splendid aerial truck owned by the city with an auto engine, so it can he commissioned into service at any time there may be need of it.
 This aerial truck is purely a life saving apparatus, and should there be a fire in the lower portion of a frame building. might at any time serve in saving the lives of many. The aerial truck is needed but because of the very much reduced city if nances, was taken out of commission ahout three years ago. and has not been available since.

CHAPTER xiv.
The Woman,s Heart.

That upper earth on which they
lived was covered with a thick blank
ct of snow. The lakes and pools were
frozen from shore to shore The
mountain brooks, if they flowed at ali,
ran under thick arches of ice. The
deepest canons were well nigh impas-
sible from huge drifts that sometimes
almost rose level with the tops of the
walls. In every sheltered spot great
banks of white were massed. The
spreading branches of the tall pine
trees in the valleys dropped under
heavy burdens of snow Only here
and there sharp gaunt peaks were
swept clean by the fierce winter
winds. and thrust themselves upward
in icy air, naked and bare. The cold
was polar in it's bitter intensity.
The little shelf or plateau jutting
out from the mountain side upon
which the lonely cabin stood was shell
tered from the prev~iling winds, but
the house itself was almost covered
with the drifts. The constant fire
roaring up the huge stone chimney
had melted some of the snow at the
top and it had run down the slanting
roof and formed huge icicles on what
had been the caves of the house. The
man had cut away the drifts from
doors and windows for light and lib

drifting snow, but as It became pack

SUCCESS FOR HOSTESS
LITTLE MATTERS IN WHICH TACT
COUNTS FOR MUCH.
Choose Your Guest as You Would
Shoes, Because They Fiji earn
the Art of Switching the
Conversation.

You may have a dinner with the
lest appointment and cuisine, and if
your guests are badly chosen the din
ner will be social failure
Certain elements will not coalesce,
and the woman who tries to force the
process is counting an explosion.
Choose guests as you would shoes
because they fit
You may be catholic in your taste
and enjoy the butterfly without a
brain aud the woman who is all brain
without social grace, the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever coterie. the man who loves
a gay story ant the woman who is
easily shocked.
But gather those friends around a
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
If you must have a mixed dinner,
pray for tact in the seating. "A man
cares what he eats, woman cares
whom she sits next"
Never seat your guests according to
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess
populsI. If you put the socially unim-
portant together, your entertaining
will never be a success.
Custom has it that those who sit on
the right and left of the host and host
ess may feel themselves singled out
for attention--but choose for reasons.
Do not give your guests a chance to
gibe at you as money worshipper or
one with an axe to grind.
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who go out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
1t In her power to go to the rescue of
the guest who is neglected by her
neighbors
Nor should your dinners be long or
neaVy. The day of dozens of courses
is past; the most brilliant diner-out
finds it hard to shine when eating
through an over-elaborate menu.
Learn the art of switching the con
versation. Many dinner is wrecked
because the hostess does not know
to SOP an argument that is verging
on controversy. and has not the So
cial sense to scent dangerous topics
or sidetrack the bore.
Encourage brilliancy and gayety,
but keep a sharp watch for wit that
stings and jokes that tend to license
