CURIOUS ALASKAN BIRDS.
Male Ptarmigans Woo In Two Tongues
 and Bully Their Mates.


 The ptarmigan. an Alaskan bird, is wonderful imitator of man, if Bel more Browne, who contributes an ar ticle on Alaskan game to Outing. is to be believed. To begin with, the author finds that the ptarmigan is linguist of no mean ability. The male does his wooing in mixed French and English:
 "A pleasing side of their mating is the habit of the males of uttering their call while on the wing. They com mence with guttural cacllle, which they utter faster and faster until they aight, when they end their song by repeat ting slowly call that sounds like ged-up, ged-up, ged-up, ged-up or parlez vous? parlez vous? parlez vous as they strut proudly about"
 In addition to singing in two lan- guages, the ptarmigan conducts his personal and domestic affairs in ap- proved fashion. Could not the follow ing observation apply to human beings as well as to this remarkable bird:.
 "The males fight constantly, and the hens seem to enjoy these battles and sit about clucking among themselves.
 "But once a hen has decided on a mate she comes into her own share of troubles and is beaten and bullied by the mate she has promised to love and obey"

Advice to Consumptives.

The only safe course for person suffering from consumption is to select a good physician and be guided in all things by that physicians advice.
 If new cure is discovered during your illness your doctor will know it. If the cure is genuine he will know that and be the first to insist on apply ing the new remedy to your case. If the so called cure is fake his caution will save you from wasting valuable time and strength pursuing will-o'-the wisps.
 Meantime, while waiting on new discoveries, he will keep you on the commonplace but effective prescription of rest, plentiful diet and all the fresh air there is. This regime has cured tens of thousands of cases of tuber- culosis and will cure hundreds of thou sands more.-Chicago Journal.

TRICKS OF LIGHT.
Why People Sometimes Feel Dull or
 Uncomfortable at Table.

How few people realize that they are actually suffering from snow blind- ness in miniature, every time they read or work over white surface on which a brilliant light shines directly. Half tone paper, for instance. which Is the common medium for the majority of books we read, will throw blind ing glare into the eye of the reader if the light strikes it at the wrong angle. and it forms an excellent test for the selection of proper lighting for room and for the placing of the lighting fix lures. for lighting diffusion should be such as to allow comfortable reading from half tone paper in any position.
 A dome hanging above dining table on which is white cloth causes the light to reflect into the eyes of those around the table at an angle that pro- duces muscular strain. This has a peculiar effect upon the senses, and drowsiness and mental inertia are apt to result. People are apt to complain of a feeling of dullness at table or that they have indigestion when it is. in reality. the effect of the light,
 A too brilliant light shining directly into the eye plays many curious psy. chological tricks. Deaf people, for in- stance. cannot hear so well if they are facing a brilliantly lighted room, and, as for being able to see better by a bright light than by dim one. ex- actly the reverse is the case, for de- tail of objects become practically lost to the eye when too much light enters it.-Suburban Life Magazine.

THEY SAW THE LAKE FLY.
An African Phenomenon That Looked
 Like a Waterspout.


 Crossing Victoria Nyanza, Messrs. F. II. Melland and F. II. Cholmeley, the authors of ''Through the Heart of Africa" saw phenomenon which, al- though common on the lakes of central Africa, seems rare enough.
 The chief engineer on coming down late to luncheon told us that he had seen waterspout near by. As we had finished our meal we hurried up on deck to get glimpse of 1t. We saw near the southern horizon q gray smoke-like column arising from the surface of the lake and expanding into what looked like a cloud above. Thinking that 1t must be the engineers waterspout,. we approached Captain Gray and MT. Akeley, who were also intently observing 1t, and asked them if we were right in our conjecture.
 "Waterspout!' said the skipper. with a smile. "Flies"
 "Flies?" we repeated and turned to Mr. Akeley in the hope of getting from him a more ineligible explanation.
 Quite true," he said, Plies. You've seen the lake fly before?'
 "No," we retorted, i've haven't, and we didn't know that it few
 Assuring us that neither he nor the skipper had any intention of deceiving us, MT. Akeley explained that he re- ferred to the insect known as the flake fly" and not to any spasmodic fri volity on the part of the waters of Victoria Nyanza. The apparent water spout was nothing more or less than a huge cloud composed of myriads of tiny t1ies They sometimes rise from the surface of the lake in such dense columns as to obscure the light of the sun like pillar of smoke.

TWO PRIZE ORATIONS.
All That Remain of the Many Works of
 Elijah keloqq.

Elijah Kellogg.
 Generation after generation of our American schoolboys have acclaimed "SparNlcus to the Gladiators" or "Reg- ulus to the Carthaginians' and prob ably never stopped to wonder what stenOgrapher among the ancients took down these celebrated remarks. As matter of fact, both were the work of New England clergyman, Elijah Kellogg. "Spartacus' was written while he was a young theological student at Andover in 1S42 for the rhetorical exercises of his class. "Reg ulus'' was written three years later for fellow student to speak in prize competition.
 What college youth of these days could write such forceful orations? These have never been surpassed, and in some schools 1t bas become neces- sary to bar them from the list at prize speaking competitions, so invariably do they carry off the prizes.
 Of all the work of Elijah Kellogg these alone remain known. Yet he wrote thirty wholesome books for boys, some of them tales of the woods and some of school, and was for years an eloquent pastor at the Seaman's church in Boston. He might have be- come Talmage or Beecher or a Brooks and gained fame in a more fashionable pulpit. but clung to the life work he had chosen.-Detroit Free Press

SIMPLE THEATMENr re
LOCK JAW.

In connection with the treatment
of tetanus or lock Jaw, a disease that
has proved to be the greatest. men
ace of all to soldiers wounded III the
European war, an apparatus has
been developed which is apparently
certain to come into general use
in cases where it is necessary to re-
sort to artificial respiration. This
apparatus is not used in the treat
ment of tctanus, but in preventing
one Of the medicines used in the
treatment from proving fatal. let
anus can only be treated successful
ly by means of antitetanuS serum.
1t takes this serum several hours to
act and in the meantime the victim
is in danger of dying from the VIC
lent commissions that accompany
the disease. TO provide relief from
the commissions and thus keep the
victim alive until the serum has
time to act, solution of EPSON salts
injected under the skin, into vein,
or into the mucous membrane OF
the spinal column, is used, the lat
ter method being imperative if the
disease has reached a violent stage.
This simple remedy stops the CON

plcte a relaxation of the muscles
that there is danger that the lung
muscles will cease to act and the
victim will die of sulIocation. The
new apparatus is designed to pro-
duce and maintain artificial respira-
ton until the muscles begin to act
and thus make it possible to give as
much of the EPSON salts as may be
necessary. Popular Mechanics.
