 Three Notable Physical Features.
 The surface of North America pre- sents three great physical features- the great Pacific highlands. the central plains and the eastern highlands. The great Pacific highlands extend through the western part of North America, al- most from the arctic shores to the Isthmus of Panama, and are traversed by the Rocky mountains and other high mountain chains. The central plains, which descend gradually from the crests of the Rocky mountains, include the Mississippi, Missouri and the Great Lakes regions. The Atlantic highlands, in the eastern part, extending from the northern coast of Labrador. nearly to the Gulf of Mexico, include the low plateau of Labrador to the north and the Appalachian or Allegheny noun tains on the south, the principal sec. tions of the latter bearing the names of the White mountains in New Hamp- shire, the Green mountains in Vermont, the Adirondacks in the state of New York, the Alleghenies in Pennsylvania, and the Black mountains in North Carolina.

How Bio Ones Get Away.

How fishes get off the hook is al
 ways interesting. for the mOst-talked
 of fish is the fish that got away. Chap man Grant. who gets fish for the New York aquarium. has witnessed the re- markable manner in which morays will disengage themselves from the hook
 If held dangling in the air, the moray will double on himself, tie the knot and pull his head out backward. "At this juncture," says MT. Grant, "it has al- ways been my experience that the hook or line broke. allowing the fish to es- cape. Mir. Mobray, however, states that he has seen morays strangle ther1- Selves when caught with strong tackle" :"

Fresh Greens for the Canary.

Fresh Greens for the Canary.
 .Canaries are very fond of lettuce, celery tops and othe. young and ten. der greens, as all birdlovers know. When the birdman tells Us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to go con- trary to advice is strong, for we sym' pathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experience has proven. Some months since, & little birdseed was spilled on tie earth in a large tub containing rubber plant. Soon these seeds sprouted, axd we hit upon the idea of removing the bottom from the cage and setting it over tke young sprouts The joy the canaries found in their greens, and the conse- Quent discovery that tie birds were really gaining in health and song con- vinced us that a box of sprouting bird seed was the thing to keep on hand for them.-Exchange.

Home act.

We hear frequently that it is love that makes the world go round. There used to be catchy song to that effect that sounded quite convincing. But, occasionally, one entertains the suspicion that with love alone to steer by, the world might very easily fly off on any tangential path that presented itselfj and that nothing short of genu- inc tact, nice discernment, inborn courtesy-call it what you will-freely exercised in the same place where charity, too, should begin, will hold the spinning earth in its proper groove and keep 1t from colliding with the rest of the universe.-Exchange

His Amazing Eecentricity.

Tt takes all kinds of people to make up a world, and shore had one of 'em here day before yesterday" admitted the landlord of the Petunia tavern. "He was from Kansas City, and yet, when l asked him what he thought of our little burg he replied that it impressed him favorably. Then he stopped and ] waited, but he didn't say another word on the subject. The strange part about him was that although he came from a big town he didn't seem to think that fact gave him a license to criticize everything in little town and tell its inhabitants how to run their own af. fairs."-Kansas City Star.

First Moving Pictures.

Moving pictures of a kind have been known for long time, as far back, ip fact, as the beginning of the eighteenth century, but the prototype of the mod ern picture was the electrically con trOlled cameras with which Edward Muybridge took photographs of the horse Occident owned by Leland Stan- lord, at that time governor of Cali fornia. He went to England and there perfected snapshot machine that worked automatically. Then. in 1893. Thomas A. Edison perfected his kineto- scope and the advance along these lines has been continuous ever since.

Blind Develop Other senses.

The man who is born blind develops his other senses to degree that seems almost uncanny to sighted people, says writer in London Tit-Bits. His hearing forms one of the principal channels through which he obtains knowledge of what is taking place around him. The slightest variation in sound conveys a wealth of informe- tion to him. because he learns to as- sociate these sounds with their origin and the manner in which they are pro- duced. For shape and texture he de- pends upon his touch, and the touch of q man who has never had sight is wonderfully sensitive and delicate. To find his way about he depends upon his sense of direction and obstacle, which have become highly developed owing to tic fact that he has always been entirely dependent upon them. For that part of his education which can be derived from books he depends on Rrnille.

Scare Pests While Lyina in Bed.

During the mango season m India much injury Is done to the fruit by night-birds, particularly the so-called flying foxes, and to keep these off with the minimum of inconvenience to themselves, the natives have invented an interesting contrivance. First of all they bedeck long bamboo pole plen. tifully with tin cans and other noise. producing utensils and fix this up among the branches of one of the fruit trees. To this, they tie cord reach ing down to the ground and the other end of this cord they tie around their own ankle. By this means, they can lie in bed and, while resting the rest of their body, can work the noise maker with their legs.

obliterat;nq Class Distinctions.

Modern and cultured persons, I be- lieve, object to their children seeing kitchen company or being taught by q wo.,an like Peggotty. But surely it is more important to be educated in a sense of human dignity and equality fhan in anything else in the world. And child who has once had to re spect q kind and capable woman of the lower classes will respect the lower classes forever. The true way to over- come the evil in class distinctions is not to denounce them as revolutionists denounce them, but to ignore them as children Ignore them.-G. k. Chester ton

USES KEROSENE TO EXTINGUISH
 FIRE IN COTTON

Texarkana, Dec. 16.-The use of Kerosene oil as an extllguishlng agent for fire is reported as having been highly successful at Darden, a few miles from here on tAe Cotton Belt, day or two ago.
 The special agents department re- ceived word of the ignition of lot Of cotton awaiting shipment at Darden, and was instructed to gather up all the available section and extra gang men possible and hurry to the scene to save as much of the cotton as pos sible.
 The number of bales in the two piles of cotton reported burning was 165.
 When the rescue crews arrived at the scene it was found that fast work would have to be done, and accord ingly bucket brigades were formed to do what they could toward putting out the fire. !:
 It remained for an old negro sec tlon hand, however, to solve the diff flculty. He suggested the use of ker- osene oil, but the suggestion was laughed at until those in charge, inn pressed jby the negro's earnestness, finally ,authorized the purchase of some kerosene oil. The negro pro- cured five-gallon can, and, carrying it to each bale, poured small amount into each place where the fire had burned into the bale There was little glame, the cotton merely smoldering, and in each case the fire was extinguished quickly.
 Fifteen gallons of the oil were used and much cotton saved that otherwise would have been a total loss.

Food eaten slowly and mixed with saliva is quickly made into rich blood and tissues. If swallowed, it lies fer menting, vile-unspeakably vile- mass of poison. causing pain and ill ness.

~ MART' and "athletic' are tern
that are almost Synonymous thes
~ days when speaking of fashionabl
women. Every society woman in goo'
health and under forty goes in TO
some form Of sport.
Whether it is golf, tennis, hiking, o.
the gentler diversion of dancing, thu
clever woman is as fit for any of thes,
more vigorous recreations as she is tC
play a rubber of bridge.
No girls education is now considered
complete until she can dive like 1
duck, swim like fish and ride 9
horse with the grace Of western cat
tie girl. She is expected to do all these
feats with equal skill and courage.
In order to take her place at a mo
mcnt & notice in any of these fields OF
sport she must be always in perfect
physical condition and society is there
fore hailing the heavenly weather with
rejoicing and making hay while the
sun shines.
SO the engagement book has been
prctically a blank, as everyone is
lingering out of doors. There are
few social gayeties of any kind and
when there is anything it is most in
formal, and usually al fresco, suiting
the relaxed temper Of summer, as well
as the chastened mood all over the
country.
The departure of Captain and Mrs.
Harry r. Clay, than whom Salem So
ciety seems to have no greater favor
ties, is the source of deepest regret

cisco, where Captain Clay has been or
dered to report to the commanding Of

duty with the provisional sanitary
train.
The Clays will be much missed from
the social gayeties, as they were
among society's most hospitable, and
were responsible for much Of the pleas
ure Of their friends, both winter and
summer alike.
The fact that they are leaving so
soon, causes added regret to their
many friends, who are away for the
summer and will be unable to bid them
good bye.
The one hope Of their friends now,
is that they will again take up their
rcslucnce IN pdfeHl uIVer lle war.
