Found a SINGING Crow.

The great crow of the North, a bird
as large as raven or young buzz
zard, is a talented singer Most crows
have raucous cry, but this black
bird, who appears so often On the to-
tenn poles, is a singer.
R. ?. Bonham tells of his first ex-
perience with the great crow Of Alas
ka. A party were ashore looking over
an old Indian village when suddenly
a golden voice broke forth in melody.
The nearest bird to them was great
crow, and in testing way Bonham
assured his companions that it was
this crow that was singing. thinking
to have some fun with the party. But
to his surprise he was proved a truth
teller, for while they all watched the
bird opened his spacious mouth. In
stead of the expected "Caw, caw," a
ripping flood of song burst FORTH

HUMAN EYE SELDOM PERFECT
But Probably Few Persons Realize
That They Are Either Left or
Right-Eyed.

Few persons, perhaps, realize that
they are SO much right or left-eyed as
they are right or left-handed, remarks
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Sit down in a chair and fix your at
tentiOn on some object on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in Front of the object
and instantly shut your eyes. Then,
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at time.
If when you open your right eye you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In that
case you will find your finger very
much to the right of the object when
you open your left eye.
If you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slightly
more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side Of
your body which is controlled by the
mOre-devel0ped half are able to car
ry out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side.

Odcrs in Apartments.

There are times in the city dwelling,
especially in an apartment, when just
before the arrival of guests the hostess
is conscious of deadly odOr stealing
DER the scene.
Instead of relying on the incense
burner which must be carried from
room to room in such an emergency
and which often sends out only fleet
ing fragrance, it is good plal to keep
on hand a little oil Of cinnamon. Fill
a shallow vessel with water and place
it on the stove. When it boils put in
a teasp0onful of the cinnamon Oil.
spicy odor will soon fill the rooms. The
water should simmer slowly, but not
boil violently, after the oil Is added.
1t is said that oil of lavender ana
other fragrant oils will give the same
result. 1t is rather amusing to keep
ones method Of pertaining the home
a secret, as this will add to the indi-
viduaIity Of ones setting.

BAN PLACED ON EXPLETlVE
Some Spanish Priests Forbid Use OF
Word "Caramba"-Good Story
in That Connection.

There is a church in La Guaira, VEN
eZuela, which is said to have been
erected with the proceeds OF fines I'M
posed upon the people of the parish
who profaned their conversation with
the word "caramba common 0ath
among all classes Of peOple-or with
stronger expressions. The church is
therefore called LA Iglesia de la
SanctiSsima Caramba."
The word caramba is meaningless.
but it is constantly in the mouths or
all people, without regard to sex or
condition, and is not usually considered
reprehensible. But now and then
piOus priest will be found who pr0hiD-

of his flock.
A story is told Of three pious friars
who were travelling hot and dusty
road one day, driving donkey which
bore their luggage. The beast became
obstinate, ana finally lay down In the

DOGS GUARD sICILIAN HOMES
Hitalian Bulldogs" as They Have Been
NIcknamed, obviate Need for
Locks on Doors.

In Sicily the inhabitants have trained
dogs 20 protect their homes against
brlgands and other lawless characters.
These Sicilians on leaving their homes
seldom bother to lock doors or win
dows. They have trained their dogs
so well that the animals can take care
of the most cunning of criminals.
When thief enters one of these
homes the dog does not attack him. He
receives him in silence, even wagging
his tail sometimes in apparent friend
HneSs.
But no matter where the thief may
go, the dog follows, never losing sight
Of him for moment. He follows the
thief from room to room. The thief
may load himself up with all the loot
he likes, but the dog views his thiev-
ing With Indifference.
It. is not until the thief attempts to
leave the place that the dog displays
any real interest in him. He then be-
comes remarkably active. He jumps
in front Of the culprit, barring his way
and defying him to attempt to leave.
If the thief makes a break for the
door or window the dog is upon him.
AS rule the animal springs for the
throat, but wherever he sinks his teeth
nothing short of death can make him
release his hold.
If the intruder attempts to draw a
weapon the dog is upon him like a flash
Of lightning. These dogs have been
nicknamed, Italian bulldogs, but they
are of mongrel breed with just a
trace of the genuine bulldog in their
blood. They more closely resemble
wClfhounds.-NOr Clinton Herald.

JAPS ARE FAR FROM STOLID
Writer Declares Orientals Have At.
tanned SeIf-ControI, but They Are
Fond of Jokes.

Among the misconceptions in regard
to the japanese is the belief held by
many foreigners that they are a stolid
people. One might search the die
tiOnary and not find an adjective less
applicable to them. They have, it is
true, attained a self-controI that de-
ceives superficial observers, but under
this restraint is all the fire and motion
and effervescence of the Latin races
or the Celts. One expression of this
volatile and effervescing spirit is
quick wit and keen humor. A very
slight acquaintance with japanese art
will reveal this quality expressed in
many forms-in designs for fabrics,
lacquer work, fans, carvings, brOnZes,
screens and kakemono, and last, but
by no means least, in many Of their
delightful illustrated books.
Comic pictorial work probably goes
back in Japan to the first immature
sketches Of her earliest artists, and il
the greater part Of this work has been
lost in the serious religious art that
AollO"eu' Lh0Ac dIC oIiii Ii "SIh0hI'' 11iot'
indicate the humOr which animated
even the men Of the YamatO-ryu.
Among these early examples are some
drawings discovered a few years ago
on the pedestal Of one Of the carved
wooden figures in the Nara museum.
The work belongs to the Tempyo pc
riod eighth century, and was
found when repairs necessitated the
removal Of the figure from it's base.
Slight as the drawings are, having
been dashed off in a moment of wait
ing, perhaps, by some old artist priest
the technic in them is by no means
crude or Scribner's Mag
aZine.

HEAD BINDING IN SOUTH SEAS
Natives of Tomman island Cling to a
Curious Custom, Which Seems
to SAVIOR of Cruelty.

The old men of TOmman Gan island
of the New Hebrides, South Pacitc)
told me that heads nowadays are not
what they were in olden, times, writes
Martin Johnson in Asia Magazine.
They said what found hard to be-
lieye-that the craniums of their an.
cestors were twice as long as those
Of present-day islanders.
Tommanites are not born with long
heads, but the head of each baby is
bound in order to make the shape or
his Uranium conform to local ideas or
beauty. When he is a few days old,
his mother puts on his head bonnet
woven from human hair, which she
soaks with oil, until she thinks the
little skull is sOftened. Over this
bonnet goes a loose woven basket OF
coconut fiber. The fond mother pulls
the strands of the basket tight, and
each day bit tighter, until the skull
can be compressed no further.
When the little TOmmanite is about
a year old, he energies from his
wrappings with beautifully elOn-
gated, pointed skull, the pride of his
mother.

The Progress of Eve.

"But these are Parisiennen cried
the French archeologist when he came
upon the craven images Of the ladies
who adorned the Cretain court at least
1000 years ago. The marvellous tOmbs
just brought to light in France, though
but half the age, teach the same les
son. 'The false plat of hair and the
many small articles found in the
tombs," says the reporter, prove that
women /of the First century, even
though they were only peasants, were
every whit as careful of their personal
appearance as are those Of today" We
talk of the advance of woman, and 1t
would be impOlite to suggest that she
does not advance but other things adj
vance with her, and Adam and the
apple and the serpent will probably
still be there at the end of the story
as they were at the beginning.--Lon-

Birth of Photography.

Photography was Graded in obscur-
ity. Centuries ago Lacock, in Wilt
shire, was thriving town, famous for
its tapestries. Today it has far
greater claim to fame, yet few people
outside the county have ever heard
of it.
1t was at Lacock that William Fox
Talbot produced the first photograph
The event preceded the announcement
of the discovery of the daguerreOtype
by four years, and five years later-in
1839-Fox Talbot startled the scien-
tific world by exhibiting series OF
photogenic drawings, as he called his
photographs, at the Royal institute.
Fox Talbot's. village resting place is
marked only by plain stone-a mon
ument which has been the subject OF
very few ographs.-Londen Mail.

REALLY AN OLD, OLD STORY
The Younger Generation, 1t WouId

Are the children of today going 10

HAVE MANY HUMAN TRAITS
Makes Interesting Report Con-
corning Their Habits.

Monkeys flirt and make love. They
love to dance, and have some steps
that could be converted into modern
dances for humans. Like humans,
they are social creatures. They work
and play and rest together"
These are a few of the conclusions
reached by Professor DOfein of Bres-
lau, who has been experimenting re-
Gently with a number of monkeys and
chimpanzees from Guinea and the
Kamerun.
He discovered that they made espe-
cially strong friendships. Two of his
chimpanzees, Nan and KOnsul, were
inseparabIe, while the whole company
showed a tendency to cling together.
The monkeys have a rhythmic
sense and respond quickly to dance
music. They have several distinct
games of their own, resembling child's
play, and likewise indicate some signs
Of military training, for they march
soldierlike.
Professor Doflein discovered, too,
that monkeys have many Of the
facial expressions and many gestures
Of humans. They can easily register
pain, surprise, admiration, tenderness.
They have a language Of their own.
They are quick to warn each other Of
danger. They have regular greetings.
Their alphabet is similar to the hui
man, but they can understand Span
ish more readily than other tongues.

FinIand's Climate HeaIthfuI.

The climate of Finland is rigorous
but healthful, marked by long winters
and short, hot summers. It lies with
in the zone Of cyclones and anticy-
clones, which pass over northern Eu-
rope from west to east at intervals of
two or three days throughout the year,
and give variability to the winds and
weather The mean annual tempera-
ture varies between the southern and
the northern boundary from 40 to "a
degrees Fahrenheit, ranging from ~
to degrees Fahrenheit in January,
and from GA to 81 degrees Fahrenheit
in July. The extreme range of tenn
perature is about 10 to 115 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The prevailing winds in winter are
from the south and southwest and in
summer from the north, northwest and
west. The amount of rainfall varies
from 10 inches in the northern to
25 inches in the southern part, being
greatest during August.

Cheese Factory Burned.

Darlington Democrat: Fire of un-
known origin destroyed the Maple
Leaf or Meadow factory last Monday
night about Il o'clock. The cellar
contained all of the July, August and
the present months cheese which
was estimated to have been worth be
tween $500 and 1900 and was in
sured with n. w. Bower for $4,000.
The factory itself which, it is be-
Iieyed, could not be built today for
less than $500, was insured with R.
E. Orion for 200. John Schoen-
enberger, the cheese-maker, had his
personal property, such as tools, sup
plies and furniture, insured for
$4,000 with ShOckley Brothers.

Mint Once Privately Owned.

Uncle Sam didn't always have a
monopoly on coinage and printing
bills, nor did he have any particular
laws governing his money. Then one
day three men opened a mint of their
own in Denver, and out or this mint
grew the United States mint in Den
yer; law forbidding private coinage
was enacted, law forbidding imitat-
ing a United States coin or bill and
various and sundry other laws that
Uncle Sam now has thrown around his
money and its production.
This private Denver mint, too, is
responsible for the thousand or more
men drawing good salaries to see that
these various laws are obeyed, and
courts and lawyers for many years
past have worked and are working
because of this mint.

Health Affected by Emotions.

Any emotion that gives pleasure
acts healthily on the heart and other
organs, the circulation becomes more
brisk, and appetite and health i'm
prove. Love, hope and happiness all
produce these emotions and, contrary
to the accepted notion, the ardent
lover ought to enjoy his meals thor
oughly.
Despair, grief and fear have quite
another effect. They make the action
of the heart slower, and enfeeble the
nervous and muscular system, often
upsetting the digestion as well.
Anger causes the heart to act VIC
lently, working upon both physical and
mental powers. The muscles for the
time being are taut and tense, and
the secretion of bile is increased A
reaction follows rapidly, when the
muscles become fiabby and a feeling
Of weakness pervades the body.
