It is royal game, and any person de-

Majestic looking birds, they stand
about three feet high and generally go
in pairs. They are Of drab color, with
black, feathery legs, and are valued for
their propensity for killing snakes.
Where the secretary bird is seen there

The bird beats down its adversary
first with one wing and then with the
other, at the same time trampling on
It with it's feet until the snake Is sufi-

up in the air and drops its victim to

thousands of venomous reptiles are de-

THE TREE ON THE ROOF.
An Old Building Custom to Propitiate
the Paaan Gods.

Did you ever stop TO think why bit
Of ornament in the form Of conVen
tionalized fruit. grain or flowers Is al
most invariably added to the gable Of
a Gothic building and very frequently
to the gable of any other type Of build
ing? i. Do you know why the lightning
rods of our grandfathers were branch
ed at the ends like little trees and why
the old fashioned Scandinavian. Dan.
ish and German contractors contrive
to fasten branch Of tree or an ear
of corn to the topmost peak Of house
that has progressed so far in the course
OF construction that the rafters are In
place? Usually the contractor laughs
sheepishly when he is asked about the
matter, giving no other reason than
that his father always provided the
birds with some grain or offered them
a green branch to rest in.
The fact is that the birds have moth
ing whatever to do with the custom
1t is purely religious in it's significance
and entirely pagan. It had Its Deg1n'
ming before Christianity was inflicted
on the barbarians Of the north The
gable Of building was exposed to
both wind and lightning, so the gods
must be propitiated. For Wotan there
was q small evergreen tree and for
Thor there was a bunch Of flowers. If
the favor Of the god had been invoked
while the house was still incomplete,
the ceremony must be finished the day
the house was done by the burning OF
the little tree or the withered flowers.
Then bunch of grain was tied to the
gable to feed the white horse of the
death god. so that he would hasten on
his journey without stopping at that
particular house.-St- Louis Globe-Dem-

LITERARY HYP0CRITEs,
Here's Writer Who Frankly Admits
He's One of the Clan.

How many of US if we were really
honest could make list Of great books
that we have tried to enjoy and
couldn't rise to:
We have for our own part greater
sin than that Oh our conscience There
are number Of books that We habitu-
ally pretend we have read which we
have never read at all. They are great
books, we suppose. At least we've
heard lot about them and read a lot
about them. and people who assume to
know say they are great books. Some
of them we have tried to read and
couldn't read. but We have pretended
at one time or another to have read all
of them. Here is our list Of shame:
TON Jones'" We have tried to read
it four times and could never get five
pages into it.
'"The Vicar of Wakefield" We have
attempted it at least six times and
taken the count in the first round
every time.
"Dante's Divine Comedy" We have
been going against the Cary transla
ton. which we hear is a good one., at
least once year for twenty years, and
we can't get interested in it. Yet up
to the present moment we have always
pretended that we had read all of it
and liked it.
Don Quixote." We have read lit
tie Of it. and we know all the usual
things that are said about it, and we
even wrote some stuff about it one
time, saying all the things that are
usually said about it, for which we got
S25, but we don't really like it. 1t puts
US to sleep; it seems long drawn out
and clumsy to US.
''Boswell's Life Of Johnson" We
never read any of it But we have pre-
tended to and have pretended at times
to quote incidents from 1t and have got
away with the incidents.
We have always pretended that we
were familiar with Walt Whitman's
poetry, but as a matter Of fact we
never read anything through, except
ing When Lilacs Last In the Door.

BREAK YOUR MATCH IN TWO
A Suggestion That Became Rule In
Forest Fire Prevention.


One day late in June a man in a
room on the seventh floor Of an old
fashioned brick building in Washing
ton. holding a sheaf of kilograms in his
left hand. was busy with his right tax
ing red headed pins out of his mouth
and sticking them into little irregular
blocks Of green ink scattered over a
large white wall map Of the United
States.
1.-THE big problem" he said, taking a
fresh pin out Of his mouth and turning
sidewise to his assistant, 'is to get at
the fellow who knows what conserVa-
ton is but forgets to apply it when he
lights up a cigar in the woods.
The assistant sat at a fat topped oak
desk in the middle Of the room. strug-
Cling through a mass Of reports from
field men in the endeavor to find sug-
gestfons for set Of fire prevention
rules"
"Well. what do you think Of this ?"
he said. holding up a report from the
Pacific northwest: Break your match
in two before you throw it away"
The other man stuck the last red pin
into the map. reached for his pipe and
lighted 1t.
Lets see,'' he said. He snapped the
burning match in his fingers. AS the
pieces dropped to the floor he uttered a
sharp exclamation and tendeTly licked
the index finger of his left hand.
The assistant laughed That's the
idear' he said. You've got to blow 1t
out before you break 1t or get burned" z"

BULBS IN A BOWL.
An Easy Way to Cultivate Miniature
Floating Gardens.


A novel way of growing bulbs. such
as crocuscs. has been tried with good
success. After securing the bulbs the
next thing is to get one or two rather
large corks Through these holes are
bored and the bulbs fitted into the
openings in such way that the under
side. from which the roots spring. Is
near the lower part Of the cork.
Now obtain a large shallow bowl and
fill this with pure water. Float the
corks, with the bulbs in place. On the
surface and set the whole thing aside
in a rather shady position for two or
three weeks. At the end Of this time
it will be noticed that the roots are
growing down into the water; thence
forward a place in sunny window
should be selected.
The upper shoots of the bulbs will
start to grow rapidly. and at this time
it is a good plan to arrange a little
moss to hide the upper surface of the
corks, or, if preferred. however. grass
or some other seed, such as cress, may
be sown to provide green covering.
There is nothing to do but to keep
the bowl well supplied with water and
change this now and again. Finally
the flowers emerge. and then the effect
is extremely pretty. The bulbs may be
planted in this way any time up to
early January, though naturally the
sooner they are started the earlier they
will bloom-S Leonard Bastin in St
Nicholas.

Homemade Gas.

Spanish peasants living in the cork
oak region use homemade gas obtained
from cork refuse. AS described by one
authority, the process consists in fill
ing several large teakettles with the
waste bark and placing each in turn
over the fire during the evening. burn
ing the volatile gas as 1t escapes from
the spouts. The carbonized residue
forms the fine black-brown pigment
known to commerce as Spanish
brown"
