Hunting Rare Birds

There Is a vast difference between

professional ornithologist. sets out
to find the rare birds, which he
hunts for the American museum.
His equipment is much more elabo-
rate than that carried by the ordi-
nary hunter. AS described in the
New York Evening Post, his first
step in organizing a hunting expe-
dition is to secure the services or
an artist and preparation. His
camera is more important 10 him
than a gun. and his umbrella shield.

his observations, Is his~most valued
single article OF equipment. with
this outfit he was sent on one occa-
sion to get some hamingoes for dis
play in the hall OF habitat bird
groups. He went to a desert island
in the Bahamas and prepared for a
long stay. The artist made sketches
of the island and its bird life while
the preparation gathered up as much
OF the island as could be conven-
iently carried away. and made num-
erous casts and notes which would
enable him faithfully to reproduce
the surroundings in which the birds

his camera, and occasionally his

Ireland and the War

There were some half.million eli

unmarried, of military age at the

Gent for the lob. only the perfectly

over 10000 of the men of military
age in ireland in August. 1914, have
offered themselves for the defense
OF Europe. II We allow for emigra.
ton this means that one out OF
every three Irishmen of military age
has volunteered. There were in the
old regiments at the outbreak or
the war over 10000 Irishmen. out
OF ireland alone, then, over 10000
Irishmen have been in the firing line
or are on their way thereto.
But that is not the whole story
One has only to read the casualty
lists of the English regiments TO
see that thousands OF Irishmen have
enrolled in England as well. This
has been an old practice with irish
recruits. Such regiments as the
East Lancashires, the Liverpool reg
iments, the Glasgow regiments. the
Northumberland Fusiliers and the
Black Watch have always been IA
vorites with adventurous Irish lads.

The Watch, the Clock, and
the Drum
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Somebody said that il watch, a clock,
and drum are going at the same time,
YOU only hear the drum.
Stop the drum, and you hear the clock.
Stop the clock. and you hear the watch.
When one denies the existence of the
finer voices of life, what it usually
amounts to is simply that he does not
hear them, they are drowned out by
coarser noises.
In the play Sinners a girl who has
yielded to the lure of the city and sold
herself for money and fine clothes hap
pens to meet again the lover of her
youth. manly country doctor. He dis
covers her infamy, but instead of up
braiding her he quietly says to her, in
substance: when you get through, and
turn from your present life with loath-
ing, come back to me. Of course, cam
not love you as i once did, But l love
you. / am the kind that love but once
There will never be anybody but YOU"
And the amazed and shattered woman
cries out, 4 didn't know there were such
menu"
1t is the way of us ALL We do not
know there exist beautiful, toweringly
divine souls right among us. We do not
know they walk the streets like tall
white angels. We do not know they are
silently doing their life tasks, close to us,
so close we brush by Mem daily, going
about their work with such stellar
poise, and with so wondrous dignity,
that if we could perceive it We might
hear command from the white sky:
take off thy shoes off thy feet, for the
place whereon thou standest is holy
ground"
The drum! It sounds in the news
paper the roar Of scandal, murder, poll
tics, and business and obscures for us
the real life of the people moving toward
Justice, love. and truth, but moving ST.
lently, as the watch ticks.
The drum! 1t rattles and throbs in
wars wild clatter; but that is not all
that is going on in Europe; you cannot
hear the steady clock-ticks OF advancing
democracy, the watch-ticks OF humanity
marking the unfolding of mems convic-
ton, silent and irresistible as time.
The drum of the city! Its street
roar. it's night revelry, the roll OF its day
traffic. it's heartlessness and brute pei
lowings! We cannot hear the modest
tickings of thousands of gentle hearts
making time to duty, to service, and to
conscience.
The drum! In the chickering's OF the
family we overwhelm the hidden music
of love and loyalty, we miss the myriad
thoughts of helpfulness and self-sacri-
flee. and we imagine they are not.
The drum in your own BRAIN, the
cheap beating and resonance OF minor
issues, of pride and hate and struggle
because of this you know not anything
of your real life, flowing in continuous
undercurrent.
Stop the drum Stop the clock! Lis
ten to the watch! Enter into silence!
You will hear deep miraculous things,
in the world. in the lives Of those about
you, in yourself.
For the significant processes of destiny
are not as drum beats, but as the tick
ing of the watch.

DENTIST CURES PELLAGRA.


DR.. w. B. Houston, a dentist OF
Monroe, N. CT thinks he has discoy-
cred the cause and cure of pellagra,
and If he has he deserves a place
among the great benefactors of the
human race.
Doctors and scientific men have adj
vaneed many theories in regard tt this
not yet understood and much dread
Ell disease which has claimed many
victims the past few years, especially
ia the South. Since the explosion 81
the corn bread fal1acy and others
equally without foundation, the medi-
ca! profession has been up in the air
as to the cause and treatment of this
scourge which has puzzled the best
OF them.
The Monroe dentist in the course OF
his practice has observed that many
diseases reveal themselves in bad
teeth, and that pellagra is one of them
ne has proven to his own satisfaction
and to that of many patients whom he
has treated, by regulating the diet,
leaving off the food that produced con
ditions in the system indicated by the
teeth and gums. The remarkable sue
cess of his experiments has brought
him prominently into notice, so much
so that much of his time is taken Ip
in answering letters and responding
20 appeals from sufferers in other To-
calities.
In support of DR.. Houston's idea,
DR.. Joseph Golberger, a United States
public health expert, after months of
Investigation, announced that pellag-
ia was caused by improper diet.
"Pellagra," DR.. Houston insists, is
an old disease with a new name. BE
fore steam power was used in naviga-
ton he says, sailors in taking long
voyages in sailing vessels and sub
sisting for a long time on certain;
foods, would have what was called
scurvy which in it's worst form was
