universal custom, and In case Of q

put the tobacco quickly into the barn.
In many sections this method of sun

count of the high price and scarcity Of

When the labor can be had and the
building so arranged as to permit, the
best method is to scafford the tobacco

method is to build shed with doors

with laughter.

Source Of strength.

We do not natter ourselves that the
intellect of our time, judged by the
power Of individuals, is exceptionally
great. No doubt, men Of commanding
genius are still with US, but they are
not more numerous or more original
than in former times. What then is
the peculiarly that has produced such
great results? In my opinion what has
been accomplished is due in great part
to the spread of higher education,
which has evolved an army of compe-
tent investigators possessing enthusi-
asm for research which now. for the
first time, is led into useful paths by
the few great minds. whose powers
thus receive a wider range and become
more productive. 1t is in this that our
great strength lies.-Prof. Arthur

In a corner Of the reception hall az he
was shown into the house by a serv-
ant Then It dropped entirely from
his mind. A fine meal and the most
genial guest possible put Mr.. Angel
in his brightest mood. Magnate and
manager discussed some business, but
not much. Sidney's inexhaustible fund
of drollery and that infectious smile Of
his gave Mr.. Angel the pleasantest
evening he had spent for long time,
according to his own spontaneous deo-
laration.
When Sidney was shown up to his
room, to his surprise he found the
troublesome satchel on a chair. The
servant evidently had supposed it to
be an adjunct of his all-night visit.

ney. "Is 1t locked? No. l declared"
He stared hard as the satchel came
open. And no wonder! Such a con-
glomeration of bright, neat. odd tools
came into view, and SO unusual and
unique In their shape that he could
scarcely guess their purpose.
"A burglars xiii" burst forth Sid
ney.
There was no doubt of that. There
was a silk and steel ladder, drills,
picklocks, fuses, deadly looking box
that might hold nitroglycerin. Sidney
fancied that its owner, seen by a po-
liceman who recognized him, had left
with due dispatch via the freight
route.
Sidney put out the lights and sat at
the open window Of the dressing room
of the suite to think of Della. He must
have fallen asleep unawares. A CLINT

kened him. Sidney saw two men, one
holding a dark lantern, its rays TO

men.

The two men left the room. A min
ute later Sidney saw them make on

Tied hand and foot, with gag In
his mouth, lay Mr.. Angel on sofa. A
safe stood open, and spread out on

GIuttonous Birds.

Birds, in proportion to their weight,
probably eat more than any other liv-
ing thing. It is a mystery to natural
lists how the ring-dove flies after its
accustomed meal. One dove was
found with 900 peas in its crop; an
other, In captivity, was known to eat
$50 beechnuts at a time; and a third
devoured so acorns. The robin often
eats IA times its weight in twenty
four hours, while a barnyard hen with
chicks has been observed to resume
eating ATS times in the course OF
day. The diet of q certain species of
hawk is composed of about 1000 mice
in the course of a month, besides 9TH
er food. In the mouth Of young
heron were found three trout, each
weighing three-quarters of a pound
Another was found with seven small
trout in its mouth, a mouse, and
thrush, evidently on its way to Its
nest. The growing bird seems to
have an appetite equal to that Of the

are from three to four inches in

For picking, the heads are often
taken when about half grown. The
leaves are sometimes blanched and

which are seen On the market.
