If the hero has no bad habits he
should acquire some, or at least lead
her to believe that he has one or two.
Courtship isn't complete unless the
heroine can beg him to quit something
that is destroying his sweet health or
worse still-somethlng that makes
him almost a bold. bad man. She used
to beg and beg me to quit gambling.
and a few years after the wedding she
was cruel enough 10 tell me that she
knew an the time that I was not a
gambler. She was Just humoring me.

authors that the greatest amount Of
taciturnity is recorded. Thomas Car

Parrots and Water.

There is a curious superstition ex istent among parrot keepers" says L. s. Crandall in Pets, to the effect that these birds not only require no wa ter, but are better off without it. The foundation for this absurd belief is not hard to find. When parrots, particu- iarly young birds, are being brought from the tropics they are customarily fed on boiled corn or bread and milk. What moisture they require is obtain ed from the food. If such birds are suddenly given access to unlimited wa ter the effect on the digestive organ Is dangerous and may result in the death # the bird. On the other hand, if the parrot be given a drink daily and then the water be removed for a short pc riod the bird will gradually become ac- custOmed to it. Once this is accom- plished there is nothing to fear from clean water.''

Winter and Summer Sun.

The sun is nearer to the earth in
 winter than it is in summer. It is not distance that determines the amount of heat that we get from the sun, but the length of time the sun is above the horizon and the direction in which his rays strike us. In summer, although much farther from us, the sun is daily above the horizon much longer than when he is nearest, at the winter sol stice, and this continued action pro duces the summer heat. In addition to this. is to be reckOned the fact that ill summer the force of the suns rays Is more perpendicular to the earth's surface. while in the winter they are Oblique. In the case of the perpendicu- tar ray the heat stays, while in that of the Obifelue ray it 'glances off," so to speak.

St. Fran cis Xavier lived here and from here made" his intellectual efforts to reach the mainland of China. He is buried on a nearby island. Here the first treaty between the United States and China was signed, and here American diplomatic officials lived before they were allowed on Chinese soil. It was here that the first Chinese frecrackers were purchased by American shippers and brought home to start a custom which has enlivened and endangered a century of FOurths of July.-Argonaut.

pixie'o Land,


 The term ''Dixie's Land" originated in New York in the early part of the past century. It is said to have come into general use when Texas joined the Union, and the negroes sang of it as Dixie"
 In the popular mythology of New York city Dixie was the negrO's para disc. on earth in times when slavery and the slave trade were fOurishing in that quarter. Dixie owned 8 tract of land on Manhattan Island, and also a large number of slaves, and his slaves increased faster than his land, an emil grafton ensued and naturally negroes who left it for distant parts looked to it as q place of unalloyed happiness, and it was the "Old Virginny" of the negroes of that day; hence Dixie be- came synonymous with an ideal local ity combining ineffable happiness and every imaginable requisite of earthly beatftude.- de.-Philadelphia Press.
