Strength Of the Condor,

The enormous strength Of the con-
dor is equaled by his voracity and
holiness. This immense bird often
pounces upon small animals, but from
the shape and bluntness of his claws
it Is unable to carry anything very
heavy, so he contents himself with fix
ing it against the ground with one of
his claws. while with the other and
his powerful beak he rends it to pieces.
Gorged with food. the bird then be-
comes incapable of flight and may be
approached, but any attempt at cap
ture is furiously resisted An Ameri-
can traveller in the Andes encountered
a large condor just after 1t had fin
ished a hearty banquet on a young
sheep and foolishly attempted to seize
the bird, with the result that he re-
ceived cash from its claw. Then he
called up his two guides, and the three
men Unanswered to take the bird alive.
But every attempt was frustrated, and
In the end one of the men killed 1t by
blow with Ratchet.

A word to the wise is enough.
Watch your neighbors gradually
rising in the world, and then as
certain how they are doing it.
In nine cases out of ten, you
will find they have purchased
their little homes, often on easy
terms, while their less enterpris-
ing neighbor is still paying rent.
A word to the wise is, suffi-
cient. If you have not yet start
ed on a home of your own, do not
delay. Obtain full particulars
concerning some of the desirable
homes we have on our books.
There are many good, honest
values, which we are offering on
terms that cannot fail to be sat-
isfactory. We guarantee perfect
titles to any property purchased

THEATRE AUDIENCES.
A Sermon For Those Who Arrive Late
and Depart Early.


1t is one of our most hallowed ma
houal customs not to go into a theater
until the curtain has risen. If by some
stupid blunder we have arrived pune
tually we smoke a cigarette In the
lobby.
So the cunning playwright takes care
not to start his story until at least FIVE
minutes later. He occupies these five
minutes with colorless scene Of some
kind just to keep the groundlings
amused. In some cases he will begin
each act in the same way. II depends
on how fashionable his audience is and
how thirsty. For converse reason he
must finish his play five minutes be-
fore the final curtain falls.
Another Of our national customs 10
to leave the theater the moment Ed
win has embraced Angelina, although
the author may have reserved quaint
comedy touch or a dramatic surprise
for the actual end.
1t is no use altering the hour of per-
Torrance. Begin at midnight IL you
like; we shall not come until five min
utes after. Leave off at 10; we shall
go out five minutes before. 1t La in the
blood. The idea that an audience owes
any consideration to authors or actors
is entirely foreign to us. The very
suggestion of 1t is almost an impertt-
nenee.--Louis N. Parker In New York
Times.

SOWING MINES IN THE SEA.
How These Ship Destroyers Are Laid
and Anchored.

Mine laying and mine sweeping are
two important subordinate functions
in modern navy, and. both of these
occupations are fraughs with danger
to those engaged In them.
mine Is saally metal globe con-
tanning anything from 200 pounds to
300 pounds of trinitrotoluene, or
r. n T.. an extremely powerful high
explosive, calculated TO make things
very unpleasant for any ship that runs
against one of the little horns on top
of the mine.
Before the mine liz put into the sea
the globe squats, as one might say.
between four metal uprights upon a
round, fiat weight, to which 1t Is at
tached by a short length of wire rope,
the greater part of which is coiled
round drum inside the weight,
When the mine is put into the water
the whole contrivance' sinks at once
to the bottom. As soon as 1t touches
ground the bump releases little
catch, which sets all sorts of wheels
revolving, with the result that the four
uprights fall outward. They grip the
sea bed, and the contrivance is an
chored Then the globe begins to rise,
while the rope unwinds until it has
reached a fixed length.
Thereafter woe betide the unfortu-
nate ship that runs upon it.--London
Chronicle.

Since the days of Aesop's fables tales
Of foxes and their doings have had
their place In literature as well as In
the folk lore of the countryside. Many
of their amazing wiles TO outwit pur-
suers or to capture their prey give evi.
dence of extraordinary mental powers
Their bill of fare includes many items,
such as mice, birds. reptiles. insects,
many kinds of fruits and on rare occa.
sions a chicken.
Red foxes apparently pair for life
and occupy dens dug by themselves In
a secluded knoll or among rocks. These
dens, which sometimes are occupied
for years In succession. always have
two or more entrances opening in OPP

tering on one side may be eluded read

or nine, are tenderly cared for by both

Every legislative body would do
well to consider ways and means Of
increasing agricultural production and
of utilizing farm products which now
go to waste as step toward solving
the high cost OF living. Science alone
can solve the problem, and no time
should be lost in setting science at the
task. Some Of the best brains In the
country are studying agricultural eco
Monies. More should be employed In
the same manner at once. We must
find some way to increase the yield
of food products, not only per acre. but
per man, and we must try to utilize
material which now goes to waste

Thrifty Geese,

The solan geese are so fond of col
lecting materials for their nests that
they do not desist from the habit even
when they are about to abandon their
nests for the winter migration. or
the coast of Scotland one day patches
of straw bedding were seen floating,
and, although the birds were on the
eve of departure, they gathered up
every wisp, as though they had their
nests to build. and in the same place
they were seen collecting sesweed
every day.

Three courses seem to have been the
customary menu in medieval times for
a state banquet, less ceremonial feasts
comprising only two and no private
dinner more than one. But each course
might comprise from eight to a dozen
different dishes. Thus at the wedding
banquet of Henry v. there were only
three courses, yet over thirty different
dishes are mentioned in the records.
