THAT STRANGE NEW NOTE
The Student of OrnithoIogy Could Not
Absolutely Identify the
Bird.

one evening an amateur nature stu
dent, notebook in hand, penetrated the
wilds of a COW pasture and paused to
take advantage of the practical, al
though crude, knowledge of a gray
beard countryman who sat contented-
ly on log.
There is strange bird-note this
evening" she began, with sweet con-
descension. 81 wonder-perhaps you
can tell me what bird it is?"
The old man removed his pipe for
an instant
i heerd q robin, num- he admitted,
putting away at his pipe before the
last word was out of his mouth.
"Oh, MOI" The student of ornithol-
ogy shook her head, pretti1y impatient.
ct is new call, different from any
thing have yet come across. Can't
you hear it-now?"
Once more the old man perfunctor-
lily removed his pipe, and both he and
his questioner strained to listen.
There was a bewilderment of wood
land and farmyard sounds
There" whispered the girl, that
full, shrill note Can't you hear it?
In that direction?"
A light broke over the old mans
face, and the lines of intense effort
vanished from his forehead.
"Oh, that noise?" He threw back
his head with chuckle of relief
That's a frog, mum"

Palestine, Is useful because It's leaves
are used for sachet powders, and from
it an oil is obtained which is used in
perfume. The myrtle is an emblem of
the Jewish feast of the passover and is
mentioned several times in the Bible.
It is not large tree, for 20 feet is
usually its maximum height
Ebony of the best quality comes
from India, Ceylon and other tropical
countries, where it is obtained in logs
sometimes Is and 20 feet long. The
darkness of the wood increases with
the age of the tree. 1t is very hard
wood and hence it Is desirable for fur
niture making. It's unique color, too,
makes 1t always worthy of notice, and
it was combined with ivory by the
Greeks to bring out it's color.
Satinwood is produced both in the
East and West indies. and, indeed, an
inferior variety comes from Florida. It
is another very hard wood, of fine,
light grain-almost canary yellow in
color. 1t is used for cabinet work and
nowadays very largely for the backs
of hair brushes and clothes brushes. It
takes very high, satiny polish
Lignum vitae, another very hard
wood, comes also from the West Indies.
1t is so hard that it is useful for MAX
ing pestles, pulleys and other things
that require great strength. 1t has a
flower like the hepatica, which comes
in clusters

SUCCESS NOT ALL IN LIFE
Busy Man Should Not FORGET That
There Are Other Things Worth
Consideration.

He went to New York the other day;
that spelled success. We told him we
were glad, because it was promotion,
but we thought his wife looked a little
tired around the eyes and maybe a
little sorry to give up the beautiful
new home that they'd been living in
only two or three years. We knew
them both way back, when she was a
country girl with the bloom of the
open air in her cheeks and he was get
morning train to the city and not get
ting back until~7, and doing his court
Ing Sundays in an old piano box buggy.
A man who works like that gets on.
They've lived in four cities now, and
perhaps twice as many houses, and
neither of them is even middle aged.
They have the newest car there is, and
he comes home after dark and drives
her about town in it. And on Sundays
he takes the children out. That's
where we shouldn't like to follow him
We know those children; they're
worth knowing, but they hardly know
their daddy, and sometimes we think
mother would like to know him better.
But he's too busy. He's always busy;
and of course he works for them.
They will share his success, but-we
wonder if they wouldn't rather share
his life.-Milwaukee Journal.

Wood Alcohol DANGEROUS.

The danger connected with the
handling of wood alcohol and with
working where even small quantities
of the fumes of this liquid may be in
hailed have been brought out promi-
nently as the result Of recent scientific
Investigations, which demonstrated
that quantities of wood alcohol as
small as 2 Of ] per cent in the in
spired air may lead to the absorption
of the product into the body to an in
furious extent. With such quantities
as this the absorption is slow, but
eventually the body becomes sat
urated" with it. The greatest danger
in inhaling the fumes of wood alcohol
is their effect on the optic nerve, which
often results in total and incurable
indness.-Popular Mechanics.
