MISTAKEN KINDNESS.

Under the head "a Friends Mis-
taken Kindness" the Salem News
says that a resident Of that place,
knowing Doctor Tanning to be a
lover of birds and a student of or
anthology, called at his office and left
for delivery to the doctor a box con-
tanning a collection of 25 birds,
mostly migratory, which had been
trapped recently with a view to pre-
senting them to one who was inter-
ested in the feathered tribe. 1t was
kindness "gone wrong" according
to the record of the case, for, 'like
all true lovers Of wild life, he could
not bear to see the creatures in con-
fnement, and after taking a good
look at them released every one, and
all flew away, evidently happy at re-
gaining their liberty"

LOOKS DOWN ON HIS MOTHER
Daughter-in-Law Nearly Always Thinks
She Could Have Brought Up
Son Better.

In Harper's Bazaar Marion Har-
land writes some startling things
about the "Tmmolation Of Mothers"
For example, she says:
''He was a bitter cynic who said
that parents would seem to spend
the best part Of their lives and their
finest energies in teaching their off
spring how to get along without
them. He hit the bull's-eye square
ly, as far as sons are concerned.
Mothers have labored, and daugh-
ters-in-law enter into their labors.
Have you ever known a sons wife
who did not, in the depths of her
soul, believe that she. could have
trained her husband better than his
mother succeeded in doing? 1t is
not enough that he is all hers now,
to have and to mold. She laments
that she could not have had the
bringing-up of her lord. What a
man she would have made of him
had high heaven granted her the
privilege of being both mother and
wife!
She gives practical proof of the
greed for full and absolute possess
sion by taking all her John does for
her, be it the gift of half his king
dom, as her right, What he does
for his mother is all of free grace,
and usually the grace is on her part"

STUPIDITY OF THE AFRICANS
Henry N. Stanley Told Of Meeting Ne
tives With What Might Be Called
Empty Lofts.

The natives Of Central Africa are
described by the late Sir Henry M.
Stanley in his Autobiography" as
being incredibly stupid. He tells, for
example, of one native who, with an
other man, was sent in a canoe across
a river to fetch a company Of men to
camp. After waiting an hour, Stan
ley went to the river, where he found
the two padding each in an opposite
direction, and blaming the other for
his stupidity. They were in a pas
sion of excitement, and quite unable
to hear the advice of the men across
the river, who were bawling direc-
tions to them how to manage their
canoe.
Another stupid fellow was gen.
orally saved from punishment be-
cause his mistakes we're so absurd.
One day we were floating down the
Congo. Near camping time, as he
happened to be bowman, 1 babe him
stand by, and when l called out,
seize the grass on the bank to stop
the boat. In a little while we came
to a fit place, and 1 cried, Hold
hard, Kirango~
''Please God, MASTER" he replied,
and forthwith sprang on shore and
seized the grass with both hands,
while we, of course, we're rapidly
swept on downstream.
The boats crew roared at the re
diculous sight. Nevertheless, his
stupidity cost the tired men hard
pull upriver, for not every place was
available for a camp.-Youth's Com.

HUDSON WAS WHALING PORT
Finding Of Rusty Old Anchors and Har-
poon Heads Recalls Some For
gotten History.

Steam dredgers near the city Of
Hudson sometimes bring up rusty
old anchors and harpoon heads from
the depths of the river ooze, relics of
the days when the place was a ia
nous whaling station, with ships in
every sea haunted by the great man.
mails. In 1882 an association of
seafaring men from Nantucket, Mar
tha's Vineyard and Providence, r.
l., bought the little settlement with
view to reviving the whaling indus
try, almost totally destroyed during
the revolution. AT that time the
shipping of Hudson was confined to
one canoe used as a ferry. In 1884
shipyard was opened, and vessels
were built, purchased and fitted out.
The first Hudson-built ship was
launched in 1885, and year later %
big whalers were afoat. In 1897 a
Hudson whaler, the American Hero.
brought home the biggest cargo of
sperm oil ever landed in this coun-
try, and in 1900 Hudson ranked
third in the state in commerce and
was known in every seaport in the
world. In 1915, however, she ceased
to be port of entry, and her mari
time interests dwindled and ceased
altogether in 1S45, when her last
ship, the Martha, was sold and the
odor of whale oil was waited away
forever from her wharves.

IT'S AN.uNsINKABLE LIFEBoar
This Claim 10 Made by a Norwegian
Sailor, Who Says He Has
Made Trials.

Capt. Ole Brude Of Seattle, the
intrepid Norwegian sailor who in
1905 crossed the Atlantic in the
Uraed, an odd looking egg-shaped
lifeboat, 1s feet long, is planning
an interesting experiment on the Pa
cifc.
Captain Brude has asked permits
sion Of several of the trans-Pacifc
steamship lines to be put adrift in
his lifeboat from the deck of one of
the liners in midocean, asserting
that he would forfeit a good sized
sum of money if he was not back in
Seattle in six months.
"To demonstrate that my lifeboat
could weather the biggest gales, ride
the heaviest seas and safely carry
her passengers into port, with three
companions, l set out from Norway
August ~, 1905, bound for Amori-
ca" said Captain Brude. cit was a
rough voyage, during which we en-
countered several storms, but we
reached Boston safely in January,
1906, our only power being a lone
sail fastened to an, iron mast"
Captain Brude said that his craft
had provisions for a year and there
was plenty in the larder when they
reached the Massachusetts, coast.
81 wish to demonstrate to the ship
ping men of the Pacific that my life
boat will not sink or capsize in the
heaviest weather, and is the safest
used on the seven SEAS" said Cap
tain Brude. "She can be made to
carry 40 passengers and provisions
for three months. Fifty-fve of the
craft in which we crossed the Allan
tic would have taken the members of
the crew and all the passengers of
the Titanic and easily reached New
York harbor with them"

KEEPING COOL IN KITCHEN
Flies Must Be Kept Out, Fresh Air
Admitted, Room Cleaned and
Painted.

Keep cool in your kitchen this
summer. 1t need not be necessary
for any housewife to bake and broil
and stew away in a hot kitchen if
she will only plan little. And the
time to begin planning is now. Keep
ing cool is largely a matter of psy-
chology. A dirty, disorderly kitch-
en- with flies buzzing about its smoke
grimed ceiling will seem ten degrees
hotter than a kitchen kept cool and
straight, even if the thermometers
in the two rooms register the same.
Begin, then, with keeping out the
flies. See that the window screens
are in good condition; and screen in
the back porch. If there are not
enough windows in the kitchen to
give good cross ventilation, have an
other one cut. You can't expect to
be comfortable in the summer time
without an abundance of fresh air.
If the kitchen walls are dark and
discolored with the winters smoke,
have them cleaned and painted with
a waterproof paint. This is better
than wall paper, since it can be
washed when soiled. Choose a soft,
restful color, as blues, grays or
greens, which are cool and pretty

LATEST NOVELTY OF SCIENCE
Lcoumlnotherapy Tells the Exact Re
lations OF Each Vegetable to
Human System.

Loguminotherapy is the latest
scientific novelty. II is a big name
for vegetable dict--not, however, the
ordinary vegetable diet, but, accord
ing to the National Pharmacist, a
scientific diet whereby the exact
physiological and tcmperamental re-
-lations of each vegetable to the hui
man system are carefully deter
mined.
Green peas, for example, accord
ing to this new science, cause frivol-
ity, and should be withheld from
young ladies with tendency to flirt.
On the other hand, they are excellent
for wallhowers and pessimists, and
should be given in generous helpings
to bashful boys.
Carrots develop good temper and
amiability, and are particularly
recommended for janitors, car con-
ductors and ticket agents.
The potato develops reason as
well as calmness and reflection; but
care must be taken lest it induce
apathy and Indifference or that disin-
clination to work which is observable
among boys who are fed daily on
fried potatoes.
String beans stimulate the poetic
and artistic faculties; while cab
bage and caulifower, nourishing
though they are, excite to obstreper-
BUSINESS and are therefore to be

IRRESISTIBLE.

A New York broker was praising,
apropos of his probable return to
Wall street, Charles W. Morse's abil-
ity as a money raiser.
"rhey tell story about Morse, +"
he chuckled. "Morse went to a mil
lionaire one day and said;
Lend me three million. 1 must

A DIFFERENCE.

George AIDE, at a dinner in New
York, urged a subtler use of words.
"Use words with delicate care"
he said. "Observe all their subtle
distinctions. Never write vision,
for instance, "when sight is what
you mean"
There's no difference between
sight and vision" interrupted an
editor.
"No?" said Mr.. AIDE. Sand yet,

ICE-PRESIDENTS FOR WEEK
The Interborough Metropolitan
Chooses Men to Sign Bonds.

The Interborough-M Metropolitan Company
has nine new vice-presdents. They were
chosen yesterday from among the heads of
departments and will serve until Thursday,
when they will again be relegated to the
ranks. The reason for this sudden increase
IN the number Of vice-presidents OF the
company is that approximately 5000 bonds
OF the New York Railways Company, the
successor Of, the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company, are TO be issued this week
to take the place OF the old Metropolitan
bonds and under the law these bonds must
bear the signature OF a vice-president Of
the company
As all Of the bonds must be signed by
Thursday and the regular ylce-presidents
OF the Interborough- Metropolitan, which
controls the New York Railways Company
did not have time to do the work. II was
necessary TO elect additional vice.presidents
for, the purpose. There was no difficulty in
doing this, as the bylaws Of the INTERIOR
oush-Metropolitan Company. as is the case
wHh most corporations. provide that addi-
uonai vice-presidents may be elected at any
urne 10 perform specific duties and TO serve
only until such duties are performed.
The promotion carries no additional sal
ary II is said, and consequently there was
no great rush Of applicants for the job of
signing the bonds. which is exceedingly tire
Some and monotonous. Each OF the new
vice-presidents" will have TO sign his name
eoout $500 times before Thursday. and sew
efai Of them are already beginning to suffer
rom writer's cramp. Secretary Fisher. who
