TemperamentaI Bird.

The raven Is a bird among birds,
self-reliant and formidable. Natural
lists, says writer In the New York
Sun, call him the most wary, the most
amusing, the cleverest Of birds. He is
also described as grave, dignified and
sedate. The bill Of the raven Is a
formidable weapon, strong, stout,
sharp at the edges and curved to-
ward the tip. 1t is his one weapon of
offense, but it answers the purpose Of
two or three. Like the dirk Of the
old-time plainsman, it is available as
a dagger or as a carving knife; and
1t can also be used as pair Of
pinchers. With one blow 1t can kill
a rat, and the raven can easily drive
1t through the spines Of hedgehog.
If 1t Is true that the raven will never
attack a man, probably it Is not so
much from lack Of courage as from
the birds keen intellectual perception
of what Is unwlse.

Depends on Rainfall.
"While everybody realizes in gen.
eral way that the world depends on
rainfall and fertility for food, there
are very few, perhaps, who even ap-
pro2imately appreciate how compara-
lively little the farmer actually does
In the great process of crop-growing.
To plow millions of acres furrow by
furrow, to spend millions of dollars
on fertilizers, and TO reap and gather
and thresh, is no mean task. And yet
compared with the part that nature
plays in the process, mans work
seems q very slight labor. For in
stance, 1t takes about 20 inches Of
rainfall to grow food crop under our
general farming methods, which means
about 2,260 tons of water to the acre.
That seems a preposterous figure, but
the doubter can easily demonstrate
its correctness. Suppose the Amerl-
can farmer had to haul the water his
ground must have to give him good
crop, and that the distance and freight
rate were the same as the average
railroad haul and rate in the United
States. On that basis it would cost

The Love of Color.

Vegetable dyes were used by the
aborigines of all parts Of America for
ornamenting their utensils, staining
their baskets and fabrics. Many Of
the textiles found in the prehistoric
graves of Peru are remarkable for
their beautiful and permanent colors.
Few of these, unfortunately, can be
traced to the plants from which they
were derived. The introduction of
foreign dyes has been disastrous.
Their cheapness and the facility with
which they can be transported has
caused them to be widely adopted
in place of native dyes, the prepara-
tion Of which Is fast becoming obso-
lete. The ancient Mexicans made use
Of number Of beautiful pigments,
mostly vegetable, for the picture-writ-
ing Of their celebrated codices. Near
ly all Of their colors can be identified.

Love Sickness.

Erasistratus gives an account Of the
consequences of masked or hidden
love. These comprised languishing
eyes, with anomalies of the voice and
complexion, ears, etc. When pa
tient presented these symptoms, espe-
cially if he or she were youth, the
medical man should suspect a secret
love passion. The source Of the lat
ter might be found by the reaction
which took place on the entrance into
the room Of the object Of the pas
sion. This consisted Of a change Of
color, trembling, palpitatlng and
sweating. The astute physician by
placing his hand over the subjects
heart. could feel its agitation when the
object Of love entered the room. In
later years the pulse was deemed a
sufficient guide for the medical man,
the other symptoms having been re:
garded as largely secondary to the dis
turbance of the heart.
