Love sonn of Bird.

sJust before an April dawn says W. P. Pycraft in "The Courtship of Animals" ''the cock capercailzie pro- claims its love fever from a tree in a strange. unmusical serenade.
 With outstretched neck, dropping wings and spreading tail he gives forth a weird, uncouth kind of song, more or less divisible into three parts. He begins with series of notes which remind one of nothing so much as the sound made by two sticks knocked to- gether at intervals of ten to fifteen seconds, getting quicker and quicker and changing in key till at last they become bell-like. Then follows a se- ries of sounds like the drawing of a cork out of a bottle, and these end with bfrdlike twitterings. By this time, however, the singer has worked himself mp to an ecstasy of fervor so intense as to deaden him to all that may be MRssing in the outer world

EaeaIIties Amona AlpInIat..

In view of the fact that every man or woman who walks up a mountain with alpenstock in hand is climber in the eyes of the public, it is not at all strange that the appalling annual fatalities in the Swiss Alps are laid at the door of one of the noblest of sports. The truth is that these fataIf- ties-there were 105 last year-are rel atively few and far between in the ranks of genuine alpinists, the anna teur and professional mountaineers. They who climb with ice -ax instead of alpenstock are cautious first, last and always. Considering the risk taken, few of them lose their lives. Most who meet this frightfu1 death in the Swiss mountains have always been either un- thinking or downright reckless tempt CTS of fate. With a complete disregard of common sense, these unfortunates go where they have no business to go save in charge of an experienced guide and sometimes the mere reach ing out for a coveted wild flower sends them to their doom.-Spur.

 What are your symptoms P the apothecary asked.
 Every little while something seems to rise up and then settle back again, and by and by it rises up again"
 The apothecary put his chin in the palm of his hand and meditated. Look here.'' he said graveiy, you haven't gone and swallowed an eleva- tor, have you?'- Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.

LESS MEAT Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat neces- Sary for strength and muscular vigor.
 The man who worked hard was sup posed to require meat two or three times a day. Science has found out differently.
 It is now common thing for the family physician to order less meat as in the following letter from a N. Y. man:
 q had suffered for years with dys- pepsia and nervousness. My physician advised me to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. tried sew eral things to take the place of my usual breakfast of chops, fried pota.- toes, etc, but got no relief until tried Grape Nuts food.
 After using Grape Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years, am now a well man. Grape-Nuts benefited my health far more than the medicine had taken before. : My wife and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we are very happy family, largely due to Grape Nuts.
 We have been so much benefited by Grape Nuts that 1t would be un- grateful not to acknowledge it.''
