REAL TRAGEDY IN BIRD LIFE
story of Long Vigil Kept by Scarlet
Coated Songster for Missing
Mate Is Full of Pathos.

Tn the annals Of bird lore nothing
can be found SURPRISING in pathos the
story which comes from Tarlton, U.
For many weeks, close to the home or
the writer, early and late there could
be heard the loud. clear call OF bird
to his mate. With his scarlet coat IN
strong contrast with his surroundings,
and his no less decided military bear
ing. he would perch on the topmost
twig of a tall apple tree, and from his
coign Of vantage scan the little world
around him with his eagle eye, hoping
to glimpse the familiar form of his
lost companion. His alert ear and eye
catching no sight or sound Of the alb
sent loved one, he would pour out his
soul In unavailing pleadings for her
return. The little singer in his untir-
ing song proclaimed the fact that ne
was waiting with a hopeful heart.
One morning, while in quest OF the
early worm, he CHANGED to light upon u
bush that stood by window opposite
the window of another house only Il
few feet away, and, seeing his image
reflected so wildly and so close to him.
he flew joyously at the apparidon, be-
lieving 1t to be his long-lost mate. his
enthusiasm knew no bounds. Quick
and hard were the blows struck with
his horny beak and claws in his I'M
potent wrath until nightfull, when he
sank to rest. The next morning at
early dawn he renewed his clarion
call, and came back to renew the Dat
tie Of the previous day with his de-
luslve image. This little tragedy IN
the heart of the bird has been carried
on for five months. His flaming coat
Is Just as bright and his kingly bear
Ing none the less striking, but great
change has come over the spirit OF
the bird. He gave no sign Of the bat
tie royal that has ragged in his breast
for weary days and weeks, but MS
song has fallen into sllence.-ClnclD-
natl Enquirer.

Preventing MIX From Boiling over.

Among the various devices which
are intended to prevent milk from
boiling over we noticed one which
solves the problem in a very simple
way, says the Scientific American. 1t
consists Of a straight tube of say two
or three inches In diameter ut the top
and expanding somewhat toward the
bottom, where 1t is provided with a
farlng and cup-shaped end Of rather
large diameter, the whole being some
what Of trumpet shape. Out OF the
lower part are cut, say, four suitable
openings, and we set the device up
right in the vessel with the small end
Just out Of the liquid. Should the milk
tend to boil violently this action COM
mences at the bottom, and the liquid
is forced up the tube, then falls upon
the surface again, so that the boiling
action will continue In this way and
the milk has no tendency to leave the
vessel.

ACTION RESULT OF HABIT
Man Is an Instructive Animal and Us
uaIIy He Acts First and
Thinks Afterward.

At least nine-tenths Of all human ac-
ton is the result, purely and simply
of habit. Man is an instructive animal
in spite Of the reasoning faculties that
have been given to him and normally
he acts first and thinks afterward.
The child is conceived and born so
that he may do things and that in do
Ing them he may develop a personal
will and an individual character.
He could not even begin to form
q character were 1t not for that uni
versal process of habit formation.
Education itself is a habit. 1t could
never have been developed without
the mechanical operations Of habit.
This mechanical procedure econo'
mizes the two great essentials Of edu-
cation. The first IS time and the Sec
ond is energy.
Ideal behavior, then, involves per-
feet balance and sanity Of action. 1t
demands moderation in all things,
with every function exercising with
every other functlon.-Mother's Maya
zine.

why Fish VIII Fall Upward.

The deep-sea fish are subject to a
pressure internally, by gases, and ex-
ternally Of over two tons to the square
inch, and under this pressure they are
quite solid. When these fish are
brought to the surface in nets their
bodies become puffy, their bones loose
and their eyes start out Of their heads !;
very often they burst. This is because
the pressure is released.
When these fish Of the deep sea
chase their prey or rise for some rea-
son high above the ocean bed, the
gases Of their swimming bladders ex-
pand and they become light. The fish
whose muscles are not strong enough
to take 1t down deeper into the ocean
expands more and more until 1t rises
upward to the surface and is killed, SO
that it really stalls upward"

Don't Neglect the Summer Cold.

We "catch cold" in warm weather be-
cause colds are germ diseases and our
vitality is too low TO resist them. To kill
those cold germs, the antiseptic pine-tar
of DR.. Bells Pine Tar Honey is famously
effective, besides helping TO relieve the
tight chest and iuvigorate the tissues. The
honey and expectorant ingredients heal
the throat and soothe the cough. Always
have a bottle OF DR.. Bells Pine Tar
Honey in your home, 25c, at your drug
gist.

EAGLE Symbol Of Power.

From ancient times the eagle, as
the king Of birds, has been looked
upon as the symbol Of power. The
American eagle is the native bald
eagle and was first adopted on the seal
Of the United States on June 20, 1882,
against the bitter opposition Of Frank
lin. This patriot looked up to 1t as a
Caesarian emblem and wanted to
know what was the matter with the
wild turkey. as being more distinctly
American. Nevertheless the eagle was
accepted, not only on the seal, but on
the first coin issued by the United
States in 1895, and on a majority OF
the coins since.
