Missed the Bird and Lost.

The Glasgow News records q sfngu- lar incident during a lawn tennis tie.
 The two players, who may be term- ed \ and E. were very evenly match ed. The game was long. and some- times one and sometimes the other narrowly led. At length when X was within stroke of defeat he returned ball softly. and 1t looked as if his fate was sealed. So it would have been. but just at that moment q bird flew across the court in a line parallel with the ball.
 As all good tennis players can well understand. B mistOok the bird for the ball and "smashed' at it vigorous ly. It swiftly rose and he missed it by feathers breadth. and ere he could recover his balance the ball had dropped on his court.
 This stroke proved the turning point in the tie, as A thereafter played up strongly and ran out winner.

Almost unbelievable are some of the things done by the rat-the squealing, filthy, gluttunous all pervading. all destroying brown rat. Rats often gIaW the hoofs of horses until the blood comes. They have been known to at tack fat hogs and eat holes in their bodies. causing death. They will fight human beings if cornered. They often steal valuable articles to use in build ing nests
 The following were found in a sin gle nest: Three bedroom towels. two serviettes. five dust cloths, two pairs of linen knickerbockers, six linen pock- ct handkerchiefs and one silk handker- chief This same rat, which was model of industry and thrift, had car ried away and stored near its nest pound and q half of sugar. pudding, Il stalk of celery, d beet. carrots. tnr' hips and potatoes.
 In the last dozen years over 5.O0O,- OOO human beings have died of plague in India alone.

FATHER OF PHREN0L0GY.
Dr. Gall at One Time Had the Whole
 of Europe In a Furore.

pr. Gall at One Time Had the Whole
 of Europe In a Furors.
 The first public notice of the Father of Phrenology" appeared in Weiland's Dutch Mercury" on Aug. IA, 179S.
 Gall was practicing physician of Vienna, and early in his career he be- came firm believer in the idea that the talents and disposition of men are dependent upon the functions of the brain and, furthermore, that they may be inferred with perfect exactitude and precision from the external ap- pearances of the skull.
 Gall was an able man. He set forth his theory in graphic, unVtuous man. ner, and in a very brief period he had all Europe ut the top notch of excite ment The idea spread like wildfire, and in all grades of society people were discussing "the greatest of all discoveries" The new theory had to meet the customary opposition from the custodians of truth and the pre- servers of morality. but the opposition only increased the popularity of the theory, and Calls celebrity increased by leaps and bounds. His lectures were interdicted, and he was threaten ed with the direst penalties unless he ceased his immoral and atheistical" teachings. but he kept on with his propaganda, visiting all the large towns of Germany and the continent, and by 1895 all of Europe was interested in the Vienna doctor.
 In 1928, the year of Calls death. phrenology was in vogue everywhere. But after a great and glorious food tide of popularity it began to wane, and today it IS but seldom heard off, New York American.

PETERSON CASE
 NOW 0N TRIAL
Chris Wants $5, 10000 Damages From Buck Hoyt Charging He Was
 Falsely Arrested.

The district court and jury were busy all day hearing the testimony in the case of Chris Peterson against Buck Hoyt, the interior roadhouse keeper, who caused the arrest of Pet erson and charged him with having a live fox in his possession contrary to the statute and against the peace and dignity of the United Sttaes.
 Peterson was never tried as it was discovered by Commissioner Jones', who issued the warrant, that Peter son had committed no offense. The trouble started last spring over the efforts of Hoyt and others to secure possession of 8 live fox which had been caught by an Indian and sold to Peterson for $450.00. Peterson was working for Jake Nafsted at the time. Jake claimed the fox but Peterson said he was acting for himself and that the fox did not belong to his boss. Hoyt tried to buy the fox, offering $550.00, but Peterson had given an op- tion to Tom Aiken for the animal for $1,500., $10O.00 of which was paid by telegraph and that therefore he could not sell.
 Bert Skinner offered $1,600.O0 for the animal but couuld not get it be- cause of the option
 The fox died day after the men had the dispute regarding the own erShip of the fox.

SUNSHINE RECORDERS.
They Tell How Long and How Strong
 Old Sol Shows Every Day.

"lIow is the daily sunshine rec ord ascertained:' the editor asked the reporter The reporter didn t know. He was told to find out and started on his assignment. When ne arrived at the meteorological of flee and found himself in verita- ole sea of maps and charts and curious Chinese lantcrn-like globes, while strange diagrams frowned down upon him from walls eloquent of hygrometers, evaporimeters, ane- omctcrs and other meters" of an equally alarming description, he imagined that simplicity was d word quite outside the scope of his sub ject. But the official who patiently answered his questions soon reas- ; sured him.
 "What, please, is the name of the instrument which records the sum- shine:" the timid newspaper man began ill d rather awed voice.
 "Stokcs' sunshine recorder" came the unexpectedly simple reply. And the manner in which the sunshine recorder works is just as simple as its name.
 Broadly speaking, the recorder con- sists of glass sphere and d metal bowl, the latter carrying blue strips of cardboard, approximately spheri- cal, on which the sun burns it's record. The general effect is that of d large glass globe inclosed in q metal cup, out of one side of which big oval like an egg laid on its side has been clipped. When the sun is bright it shines through the globe and burns the blue cardboard beyond, and at the end of the day one can read the story of the suns journey as though it were written in book.
 As the clouds come up and ob- scurc the sun the burning process ceases. Then the sunlight bursts forth again, so strongly perhaps that the card is burnt right through, and, instead of a yellow brown line, the suns progress for an hour is marked on the blue card by deep cut or furrow. Y.
 It does not ,. matter, however, whether the eard is pierced right through or whether it is merely sunburnt with tue yellow brown line. Every portion of the card which is marked--and it should be mentioned that the. card is divided off into the various hours of the day-is reckoned officially as sum shine and is consequently included in the sunshine report for the day.

RARE PRESENCE OF MIND
At Least 1t Is to Be Supposed Young Lady's Mother Regarded 1t
 as Such.

Speaking of rare presence of mind recently recalled to ex-President Taft the case of a handsome young woman of his acquaintance She had gone to the railway station to meet a man friend of the family, and when he de- parked from the train the young man lost his hear and impulsively kissed her. The girl thought it the part of prudence to tell her mother of the af- fair, upon which the latter was simply mortified
 You don't mean to tell me that he had the impudence to kiss you?" she cried. And to think of the crowd at the station! Why, my dear, what did you do in such an embarrassing situ- ation?''
 Why, mother, I just kissed him back, of course" coolly replied the young woman. q wanted to give all those people the impression that we were relatives. ."@The Sunday Maga- Zine

ANOTHER SIDE TO MATTER
ing Floral Bouquets to the Living Is Not All Joy.

There has been good deal In the paragraph section of our exchanges for some weeks to the effect that you should give the bouquets now; not wait to lay them on the coffin lid,' says Tom Thompson in the Howard Courant. Ella Wheeler before she was a Wilcox wrote poem on that theme; Chancellor Bradford at the chautauqua dinged it into us, and most of us have been affected by 1t. But, say. my brother-sister, have you tried it yet? I have-twice. First, tried on a very dear friend of the other sex. and she began to get nerv- out like she thought I was trying to fiirt with her. Then I quit, for I am pre-eminently no flirt. Next I tried 1t on brother in my lodge and Sunday school. and he shied off like he expect ed me to ask him for a loan. So after this shall water my flower beds and raise nice bouquets for funeral occa- sions exclusively. Very few people know how to receive floral offerings, anyway-Kansas City Star.

WHdt So Precious
 As q He0Ifhy Baby?
Every YoungSfer Con Hdpe Fine Digestion # GiUen e Good
 Baby L0xdfive.

In spite of the greatest personal care and the most intelligent attention to diet, babies and children will be- come constipated, and 1t is fact that constipation and indigestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with a good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap
 But, as we cannot all have perfect working bowels, we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can be done by the use of laxative-tonie very highly recommended by a great many mothers. The remedy Is called Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has been on the market for two genera tions. It can be bought conveniently at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar bottle, and those who are al ready convinced of It's merits buy the dollar size.
 It's mildness makes it the ideal medi- cine for children, and 1t is also very pleasant to the taste. It Is sure in It's effect, and genuinely harmless Very little of it is required and its frequent use does not cause 1t to lose Its ef. feet, as is the case with so many other remedies.
 Thousands can testify to It's merits in constipation, indigestion, bilious ness, sick headaches, etc, among them reliable people like Mrs. James R. Rouse, of Marinette, Wis Her It. tie son Howard was fifteen months old
