Condor Individuality.
We had the best chance of studying
te colors of the condor head. The bili
was horn color, and the red skin of the
head extended down, covering it about
halfway. The legs were tan, but on
each knee was a patch of red. On the
breast of each bird the skin was blood
red and could be seen occasionally
when the breast feathers were spread
and the birds were preening. Both bad
\Mght colored wing bars, and the pri-
maries were well worn. The skin on
the throat hung loose, and the lower
mandible fitted close under the upper.
The chin was orange red, and below
this on the neck was a strip of green-
ish yellow merging into the orange
about the sides and back of the neck.
The top and front of the head were
red, but between the eyes was a small
patch of black feathers, and these ex-
tended down in front of the eye into
the orange red of the cheek. The pupil
of the eye was black, but the iris was
deep and red and conspicuous. The
bald and wrinkled pate, the flabby
jowls, with the cave-in expression of a
toothless old woman—these helped to
make up the condor individuality.—
William L. Finley in Century.
It Didn't Come Natural.
“] have heard that man tell the
truth once or twice,” said one Wall
street man talking of another. “He
can tell the truth, 1 admit, but it does
not come natural to him. He reminds
me of the Russian moujik.
“A Russian moujik sat one day in
the anteroom of the military commis-
sioner of his town. There was an
anxious frown on his face, A friend
approached and sald:
“ ‘What is the matter, Plotr?
“¢q am worried, Plotr answered,
‘about iny son. I don't know what to
say when the commissioner asks me
about his age. You see, if 1 make him
younger than he is he will be sert
back to school, and if 1 make him out
older they'll stick him In the army.
What the deuce am I to do?
“ ‘How would it do,’ said the friend
thoughtfully, ‘if you told the commis-
sioner his exact age?
“Piotr slapped his leg and laughed
delightedly.
“ “The very thing!" he cried.

Pay of Army Officers.
When a young man becomes a cadet
at West Point, he enters upon a gov-
ernment allowance of $600.50 a year.
On graduation the West Pointer is
commissioned a second lieutenant and
receives a salary of $1,400 if unmount-
ed or $1,500 if mounted. Increases at
each five year period bring the pay at
the end of twenty years up to $1,960
in the one case and $2,100 In the
other.
The pay of first lieutenants begins at |
$1,500 and $1.600; captains, $1,500 and
$2,000; majors, $2,500; lleutenant colo-
nels, $3,000; colonels, $3,500. Each offi-
cer attains a 40 per cent maximum in-
crease in twenty years.
On the average the salary of the
army officer is higher than that of the
college professor, the minister or the
graded civil service employee. The of-
ficer has allowances for residence and
personal attendance. He may buy
household supplies from a government
commissary at cost. — Detroit News-
Tribune.
Could We Live on Mars?
The physical conditions on Mars are
in many ways intermediate between
those found upon the earth and the
moon, and it seems plausible that the
life existing upon it should similarly
be of a higher type than that found on
the moon and of a lower type than
that found at present on the surface of
the earth. Even if the physical condi-
tions, as we understand them, were
equally favorable with those on the
earth, civilization would by no means
be a necessary consequence. Fad it
not been settled by Europeans the
United States would still be a wilder-
ness. How much less should we hasten
to accord civilization to a planet of
which we know little, except that if
we were transported there ourselves
we should instantly die.—Professor W.
H. Pickering in Harper's Magazine.
Wise Insects.
In his experiments to determine
whether it is the color or the odor of
flowers that attracts bees and other
insects M. Plateau, the Belgian zoolo-
gist, bethought him of trying a mirror.
He selected a flower of striking color
and strong odor and placed it before
an excellent glass in which the reflec-
tion was perfect. All the insects went
straight to the real! flower, and not a
single one approached the reflection in
the mirror.— Youth's Companion.
Joining the Great.
An Oxford undergraduate was recit-
ing a memorized oration in one of the
classes in public speaking. After the
first two sentences his memory falled.
and a look of blank despair came over
nis face. He began as follows:
“Ladies and Gentiemen—Pitt is dead.
Fox is dead. Gladstone is dead"—
Then. forgetting, he hesitated for a
moment and continued, “And—I—I—I
am beginning to feel pretty ‘sick’ my-
self.” —Lloyd's Weekly.
Ruffled His Feathers.
Artist (showing friend his master
plece)—~Now, my boy, that is a picture,
if you like—real and natural. What do
you think of it? Friend—Capital! Cap-
ital! So lifelike! Such light and
shade! 1 don’t think I ever saw a bet-
ter picture of a battlefield. Artist—
Great Paul Rubens! That's not a bat-
tlefield—that’'s a basket of fruit!—Lon-
don Standard.
Writers’ Cramp.
Writers’ cramp is a serious matter
to people whose work requires that
they use a pen very much, while for
the unaccustomed writer who takes an
afternoon off now and then to catch up
with her correspondence it is, to say
the least. very discouraging. The tron-
ble is more than muscular in this kind
ot cramp. Very often a low, nervous
coadition will cause it. Then one
should take it as a warning that the
system is run down and needs general
toning up. Very often, however, the
trouble is all in the way you hold your
pen.
Children now in school are not like- |
ly to be troubled with writers’ cramp.
because they are taught to hold the
pen lightly and make all the move-
ments from the arm instead of the
hand. The old fashioned method
which most of us learned of holding
the pen between the thumb and fore-
finger is also very likely to encourage
a cramp. The muscles become tense
and hard, until finally they contract so
much that all control over them is
lost. The pen should be held between
the first two fingers, well up toward
the joint. The trouble may often be
relieved by putting the hand and wrist |
into the hottest water one can stand.
—Boston Herald. |
Tenderness of the Hanging Judge.
Mr. Justice Hawkins’ tenderness for
women prisoners was well known. He
admitted it, and he had a great dislike
of sentencing these poor creatures to
death who had been recommended to
mercy and would probably be repriev-
ed. On one such occasion the sheriff
asked if he was not going to put on
the blacle cap.
“No,” he answered, “1 am not. 1 do
not intend the poor creature to be
hanged, and I am not going to frighten
her to death.”
Addressing her by name, he said:
“Don't pay any attention to what I |
am going to read. No harm will be |
done to you. I am sure you did not |
know in your great trouble and sorrow |
what you were doing, and I will take |
care to represent your case so that
nothing will harm you in the way of
punishment.”
He then mumbled over the words of
the sentence of death so that the poor
creature did not hear them.—London
Graphic.
Lobster Fare.
Hungry lobsters in their natural
state seldom refuse fish of any kind,
whether dead or alive. The favorite
bait with fishermen is fresh or stale
herring, but even shark meat is used
at a pinch. Lobsters also eat small
crabs, sea urchins and mussels. In-
deed, there are few forms of marine
life suitable for food which they re-
fuse. Lobsters sometimes capture fish
alive, striking them with the smaller
of their two great claws, which for
this reason fishermen call the “quick”
or “fish” claw, but they will live for a
long time, especially when confined
without taking any food. If you tether
the lobster by the large claws, you will
find that, like the muskrat, he will go
off some fine morning, leaving only his
legs in the trap, for this animal has
the remarkable power of “shooting a
claw,” or amputating its limbs, and,
what is still more wonderful, of grow-
ing new ones from the stumps left be-
hind.—S8t. Nicholas.
The Microscope.
There is good reason to believe that
the magnifying power of transparent
media with convex surfaces was very
early known. A convex lens of rock
crystal was found by Layard among
the ruins of the palace of Nimrud.
And it Is pretty certain that after the
invention of glass hollow spheres
blown of that material were commonly
used as magnifiers. The perfection of
gem cutting shown in ancient gems,
especially in those of very minute
size. could not have been attained
without the use of such alds to the
eye, and there can be little doubt that
the artificers who could execute those
wonderful works could also shape and
polish the magnifiers best suited for
their own or others’ use.—New York
American.
Rifled Firearms,
In the South Kensington museum
are several wheel lock muskets with
rifled barrels made during the reign of
Charles I., if not earlier. Such barrels
were then usually called “screwed.”
Zachary Grey in a note on “Hudibras,”
part 1. canto 8, line 533, says that
Prince Rupert showed his skill as a
marksman by hitting twice in succes-
sion the vane on St. Mary's Stafford at
sixty yards with a “screwed” pistol.—
London Notes and Queries.
The Forests.
A true forest is not merely a store-
house full of wood, but, as it were, a
factory of wood and at the same time
a reservoir of water. When you help
to preserve our forests or to plant new
ores, you are acting the part of good
citizens. —Roosevelt.
Reputation and Character.
Lawyer (examining jury)—Do you
understand the difference between
character and reputation? Juror—Rep-
utation is the name your neighbors
give you; character is the one they
take from you.—Judge.
Strategy.
“How di pa act when you asked
him for my hand?’
“Very gentle and courteous. It quite
took me Jy surprise.”
“1 told him you used to be a pugil
ist."—Houston Post.

Muriel-Why didn’t you marry him1
Everybody he has reformed.
Maud—Yes, but he reformed too late.
His money was all gone.—New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
Wasp's Jaws Make Colony’s Nest.
Wasps readily succumb before the
aereasing cold of autumn. The few
that escape the merciless scourge of
mortality are the queens of next sea-
son They pass the winter in some
warm cranny, and when the spring
arrives each comes forth from its hid-
ing place and seeks a suitable place
for the nest that is to be. This found,
the queen repairs to a fence or tree
trunk and with her jaw rasps off a
bundle of wood fiber which when
moistened with saliva and kneaded
forms the paperlike substance of which
the nest is entirely constructed.
Just as bees have invented a peculiar
nest building material In wax, so
wasps have prepared a special durable
paper for the same purpose. The queen
mother lays the foundations of the
city with her own jaws. She attaches
a sort of stalk of wood paper to a
chosen support. This may be the
branch of a tree, a root in a cavity
below ground or a beam in a garden
shed. The stalk prepared, the queen
builds a few shallow cells, in each of
which she lays an egg. As these ma-
ture, hatch and develop into worker
wasps the labor of the little colony is
turned over to them, and thus a vast
pest with thousands of cells is evolved.
—Chicago Tribune.
The Wrong Nell.
Nell is a girl who lives up on Capi-
tol hill. On Mondays a woman comes
to Nell's house to wash clothes. The
woman's name Is Nell too. One Mon-
day Nell, the girl, was in the sitting
room reading when the telephone rang.
Nell, the washerwoman, answered the
ring. Nell, the girl, then heard Nell,
the washerwoman, say:
“Yes, this is Nell.”
Silence.
“How's that?
Silence.
“What! Am I mad because you
kissed me last night? Look here, man,
you're too fresh. Who are you any-
way? | never kissed” —
Just then the telephone receiver was
wildly snatched from her band. Nell,
the girl, blushing furiously, had grab-
bed it. She hung it on the hook.
“He wanted me,” she sald. “He al-
ways tries to tease me that way. 1-1
never kissed him in my life.”
As she disappeared up the stairs the
washerwoman smiled and said:
“That's a big one.”—Denver Post.
