THRUSH FLIES 1900 MILES
Bird Takes Wing in Scotland and Is
Shot in PortugaI-Marked
by a Ring.

Observation-Disclosures stories of
the migrations of birds are being
gathered by the natural history de-
partment of the Carnegie institution
at Washington. Not only the Amer
lean government, but many of the
other civilized nations employ experts
Who trace the flights of the f~eathered
creatures of the air. Most of the work
in this country is being done by the
department of agriculture, which sew
eral years ago got out a book on the
subject.
Since then many new facts of inter-
est have been discovered. The latest
reported experiments and observations
have been conducted by the natural
history department of Aberdeen uni
versity, in Scotland.
From that institution comes an &C.
count of a song thrush that travelled
1000 miles in six months after it was
Matched. This thrush was one of a
brood which, when they were chicks.
had rings put on their feet when they
were still in the nest at Skene, in
Aberdeenshire, early in June. 1910.
This same thrush was shot near Leira.
in Portugal, in early November of the
same year The two localities are
more than 1850 English miles apart
in direct overseas line, and this thrush
thus made a journey ON more than
1,5O0 miles, the Scottish naturalists
say.
A widgeon duckling, ringed at birth
on Loeb Brora, Sutherland, Scotland,
was taken three months afterward in
a duck decoy in northeastern Hol.a Il,
500 miles from it's nest.
A lapwing, marked as a chick IN
northern Scotland, was shot in south
ern Portugal in six months.
A guillemot, marked when hatcher
on the Aberdeenshire cliffs, was shot
four and a half months later 500
miles to the east, just north of Gothe1.

Life Sentence.

The marquis of Queensberry, apro-
pos of the long sentence of Foulke E.
Brandt, said at a dinner in New York:
1T reminds me Of an incident in
London. A certain peer drove in a
taxicab to Westminster and, when he
got out, gave the driver a very small
tip.
''The driver mistook him for a mem
Der of the house of commons and
snarled:
"I hope you get turned out next
election and don't never get in again!'
Don't worry, my friend said the
peer, as he set off for the house of
lords. Don't worry-Tm in for life"

SAVING OF LABOR, WHEN 1T is
POSSIBLE, is ESSENTIAL.
Every "Short Cut" Perfected Means a
L~essening of Wear and Tear on
Ever Busy Housewife.

Labor saving in the kitchen, as
we'll as labor saving elsewhere, is the
result Of working with mind as well
as hands.
But as all lines are not built along
the same lines, so each housewife
must plan her WI methods of saving
work. What is a short cut for you
may be the longest way round for me.
First make up your mind as to the
relative necessity Of various tasks.
some things are essential, others more
or less desirable. The old saying:
What is worth doing at all. is worth
doing WELL" has caused many a
b~ackache. all because women have not
reasoned that to do a thing well Is
not the same thing in all cases.
Because napkins should be well
dampened and ironed until they are
dry is no reason why tea towels should
not to be folded dry, and just smoothed
over with a hot iron.
h old praise of a housewife that
her kitchen floor was so clean you
could eat from it, spoke more strong
~ for her muscles than her mind, for
floors, after all, are made to be walk
ed upon. We can eat from a table.
So decide which things are essen
tial to health. These must be done.
Certain things are conducive to com
fort. Do all Of these If possible.
Certain other things we do for looks.
This is the place to save labor by
doing for looks" only the things we
have ample time and strength for.
Certain conveniences and orange
ments in the kitchen will save steps
IND time, hence save strength. Try
20 keep things as near as possible to
the place where you expect to use
them. Have a high chair in which
to sit to work at a table or ironing
board, but be sure to have a low chair
for work you take to your lap, such
as preparing fruit or vegetables for
cooking.
The greatest convenience in the
kitchen is water. If it is impossible
to have running water. have a sink
with a drain and pump from the els
tern.
Keep your eyes open for all the new
things, like the nreless cookers and

Value of Responsibility,

Greater than the value of contact
with facts is the value of responsible
ity. In a mans life, it is the arrival
of some responsibility that arouses
his powers and makes durable the
qualities Of manliness. The effect of
responsibility is instantaneous. 1t is
like a magnet in it's power to charge
the individual with the faculties need
ed for the matter in hand; a light is
generated among the fragments of in
formation. Even after a systematic
education these fragments seem to lie
in the mind in a chance order until
this light appears and shows them
ready for use; then abilities develop
which never would develop, even with
practice, without responsibility.-At-
lantic Monthly.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
Ithas carried many women safely
through this crisis.

Another Use for Medicine.

A Chicago family which employs as
It's butler an old-fashioned negro was
constantly annoyed by the doorbell of
the house getting out Of order. On
several occasions an electrician, who
used some sort Of white powder
in his work, had been called in to fix
the bell.
One evening when there were guests
at dinner, one of them complained
of a sore throat. The mistress of the
house turned to the butler and said:
Sam, when dinner is over, go to the
drug store and get a small bottle of

negro in genuine distress. "Is dat do

First of All Qualities That May
Be Relied on to Carry a
Man to the Top.
OBSTACLES MUST NOT DAUNT
When Things Go Wrong Is Just When
Strength Is Required to Put
Them Back Into Their Right
Groove - Solving Ones
Own Problems.

In advertising for a man for a re-
sponsible position a firm stated
among other needful qualification, that
lie must be able to confront antagon-
ism"
What the firm really wanted was a
young man with backbone and the
stamina necessary to carry him over
obstacles. This kind of man would
seem easy to find, but the trouble Is
that most men OF courage In the face
OF smoothly going affairs go all to
pieces when confronted with friction.
In the first instance they are strong,
reliable, and clear headed, but under
the latter circumstances are of no
earthly account.
A man of this character is perfectly
miserable when there Is trouble any
where, but as soon as harmony is re-
stored is a giant of business acumen
and able to cope with any intricate
business proposition that may come
up.
Now, when trouble comes, the real
ly strong man, the man who is COM
pounded of the gritty stuff of which
business men should be made, braces
up, takes the bit between his teeth,
n rises to the occasion in proportion
to the difficulties to be overcome.
A young man who occupies a high
position in a large firm recently spoke
as follows in this regard. Said he:
i never allow myself to go to the
heads of the house with trouble unless
1t Is n that seriously affects the
firms revenues.
1 consider that I am paid for solv-
ing the business problems that pre-
sent themselves and that l must fight
them out alone whenever possible.
Otherwise l should not be worth half
the money l am getting and would
sink to the level of an ordinary clerk"
Continuing, he explained: "Acquir-
Ing the habit vas next to impossible,

BUSINESS LETTERS ARE BRIEF
That Requisite, With LegibiIity and
Courtesy, Makes Communication
All 1t Should Be.

Brevity and courtesy are Two essen
tial elements Of a note written to
business folk.
The former is more desirable for
the reason that busy men and women
: have neither the time nor the patience
to give to reading lengthy communi-
cations.
Many requests are ignored that
might have met with success had they
not been so long drawn out.
Also, any eccentricity of writing Ell
Their as to actual chirography or man
ner of placing the words, should be
avoided for the same reason.
If a woman's hand is not very clear
to read it is the part Of wisdom to
have typewriter notes soliciting con-
tributions.
Should this be used the signature
should be put in by hand, but the
church or society for which the in
dividual writes should be typewriter.
that it shall be so clear as to prevent
any error on the part of the person
reading.
Once it is understood that the writ
er is a responsible person, her name
is unimportant as compared to the
society she is representing.
The writer's home address should
be given, and when she Is a married
woman the name Of her husband
should be put beneath hers, that the
recipient Of the letters may have no
difficulty in looking her up should he
choose.
In the original note the nam Of the
society and church should be written
in full, and if the writer is not an
officer the word member skeald be
substituted for the former.

Many In Wrong Vocation

We know that each human being has
been born into the world with at least
one talent. There is one thing that
each one of US can do more success
fully than we can do lots of other
things, yet we pay SO little attention
to the matter of vocation that many
of us keep on rafting round-suuare
pegs in round holes-as long as we
live.
Many of the conspicuous failures in
life are due to this fact. Men who
might make first-rate carpenters try
to edit newspapers; men who have a
distinct talent for business are thrown
into the professional world, where
they are likely to do all tanner of
harm; men with a definite bent for a
profession become bookkeepers and
stick there. when. with a little ef-
fort at self-analysis, they might
make themselves of more use to the
world.
This. then, is one of the big prob
lens of life-how to find your talent.
