are among the redwoods of California

Il should think" said the little girl
named Cora, chat it would be very
hard for you to eat. Dicky."
Now Dicky was a little pale yellow
canary bird and Cora was watching
him eat. He had a piece Of cutie
fish in the side Of his cage. There was
also a lump of sugar. Besides he
had water, seed, gravel and a piece OF
nice, fresh lettuce.
would you like to hear the secret
of how the birds beak takes the place
Of teeth?" whispered a voice very close
to the ear of Cora.
ooh, yes" said Cora, as she nodded
her head and closed her eyes. And the
little fairy who had asked Mr. Sand
man TO throw some of his magic sleep
ing dust over Cora whispered to the
canary bird it was time to begin his
speech.
Cora" said the canary, and Cora
heard herself say:
yes will You talk TO me?'
"The fairy named Wondrous Secrets
has asked me TO tell you few of
mine" said Dickey.
"Why is she given that name?"
asked Cora.
Because she holds boxes and boxes
Of wondrous secrets and she holds the
keys, too.

if she had not waved her wand over
you and asked Mr. Sandman for the
magic dust. And then she undid the

Thesman who invented the drug known
as ether conferred great blessing on
humanity Without this discovery surgery
would never have become as advanced as it
is to-day.
We expect that the medical profession
might have invented something III the
line OF anesthetics that would prove even
more wonderful than ether and to hear
that a layman has done thus is certainly
surprising.
The discovery OF "Nikaigin' will rev
olutionize surgery, if we can believe what
we heard OF 1t. Here is an instance where
a man OF science, not a person educated
in materia medica, has found a combna-
ton of three clements which can be
sprayed on the most ugly Of wounds COM

and phianthropic woman would has DIS

As rats did much damage to his papers
the Hindoo clerk in charge of the official

the head office at Delhi received this dis

subject to which The Reformer has
called attention frequently. A large
part Of the waste comes in the duplca-
ton OF effort Teams from several diff
ferent stores run over the same routes,
sometimes making deliveries or taking
orders four or five times a day. In its
study Of economies the government has
found that if reasonable sys-
TEN were adopted in place of
the present extravagant one a very
large number of men, teams and capt
tai would be freed for necessary ac-
tivities. Customers should so far az
possible make their own deliveries A
greatly curtailcd system would answer
every reasonable need. Regular deliv-
cries under q cooperative arrangement
would effect a very considerable saving
without real hardship to any one. In
this connection a merchant made a sen
sibIe suggestion to the writer recently.
1t was that no calls for orders be made
at houses about town; each customer
to place his own orders with the store
by telephone or messenger; that the
several merchants combine and engage
as many conveyances as are absolutely
necessary to cover the town to deliver
such goods as are thus ordered This
would cut out fully one-half of the
