m— oss TR TSS,
EDINBURGH WORTH A VISIT
“Time of Traveler Can Be Well Spent
in an Inspection of the Scot-
tish Capital.
There is generally an east wind
blowing in Edinburgh, whipping the
fog about, or else it is raining. Other
wise the climate is very attractive
When a clear day does come, you ap
preciate it. It is very calm and clea:
and bracing. You climb a hill—Edin:
burgh carries an assorted stock of hills
—and you look down on a city that is
picturesque in the fullest and broades!
‘application of that overworked poly.
syllable. Edinburgh is easily the mos{
picturesque capital in Europe.
The castle keeps you from looking
at anything else for the first fifteen oz
twenty minutes. It stands in the mid
dle of things, capping a hill that shoots
up almost straight from the level. You
cannot see where the hill leaves off
and the castle begins; it seems to have
grown from the living rock beneath it,
‘They tell you that the castle has never
been taken by assault, though it has
‘been perched there for a thousand
years or so. You are not surprised at
‘the statement, but you indulge in a’
little mild speculation as to the par
ticular form of foolishness that led
anybody to assault it.
After a while you look away from
the castle and size up the city at large,
‘Miles of gray mansions spiked with
towers and spires stretch before you,
backed and cut off in all directions
by hills just rough and rocky enough
to be decorative. Hundreds of little
blue pennons of smoke arise from the
‘chimneys. They. do not consume
their own smoke in Edinburgh; the
Scots have nicknamed the capital
“Auld Reekie.”
Edinburgh is running over with his
torical association and the tradition
of greatness. Here the national life
of Scotland has centered ever since
she had cne. All her warriors, all her
patriots, all her men of sciences and
her poets have left their mark on the
capital. As a result, Edinburgh has a
personality as clear cut and individual
as that of some great actress. She is
as Scotch as Robert Burns. If you
like the reticence, the mixture of sen:
timent and resolution that make the
Scottish temperament, you will find
Edinburgh a never-ending delight.
TELL OF HUMAN SACRIFICE
Significance of Pair of Thongs, in New
York Museum, Will Be Ap-
parent to All.
The curator of anthropology at the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York, values among recent acqui-
sitions in the Pawnee Indian collec-
tion a pair of thongs which are, so
far as known, the cnly existing relics
of the Pawnees’ tribal rite of mak-
ing a human sacrifice to the Morniug
Star, god of war. Curiously enough,
the Fawnee god of war star is believed
to have been the planet Mars.
WLen life grew dull it devolved
upon the Pawnee priests to relieve the
tedium of the tepees by dreaming that
old Morning Star demanded a sacri
fice. Then the bloods went on the
warpath until they captured a maiden
of a hostile tribe. After due ceremony
she was bound by thongs to a scaf-
fold, her feet pointing right at old
Morning Star himself. When the
brave bucks, who rather prided them-
selves on their sharpshooting, had
stuck her so full of arrows that she
looked like a hedgehog; and when her
heart had been cut out the party was
over,
Pencils Made Sterile.
School physicians have recently de-
cided that school lead pencils may do
deadly work as disseminators of dis-
ease germs. The lead pencils for an
entire room are usually in charge of
the teacher and are distributed when
they are needed for class work. Chil-
dren habitually moisten the pencils in
-their mouths, a practice more unsani-
tary than the use of the old fashioned
slate cleaned with saliva. It is now
proposed to have. the pencils fumi-
gated daily with formaldehyde gas,
and a small fumigator has been de-
signed tor that purpose. The fumi-
gator is the size of a one burner gas
hot plate. The top will hold 50 pen-
cils. They are set in place and the
fumigating gas turned on for 15 min-
utes, which renders them absolutely
sterile.
Cab, Sir? Cab, Sir?
Public carriages for hire, or hack:
ney coaches, were introduced into Lon-
don in 1625 and rapidly grew in popu-
larity. Notwithstanding the opposition
of the king and court, who thought.
they would ruin the roads, they grew
to number over 300 by 1650.
In Paris they were introduced dur-
ing the minority of Louis XIV by
Nicholas Sauvage, who lived in the
Rue St. Martin at the sign of St. Fi-
acre, from which circumstance hack:
ney carriages in Paris have since been
called “fiacres.”
By 1694 there were over 700 of these
wwnveyances in London.
Substitute for Leather.
“I see a substitute for sole leathe:
withstood six weeks’ test of the se
verest character,” remarked the pro
prietor of the restaurant to the man
who was paying his check.
* “Is that so?” replied the customer
“And did the man who made the ex
periment buy the steak from you?'—

RUFFED GROUSE
(Bonass umbellus)
White-Breasted Nuthatch
Sitta carolinensis
Length, seventeen inches. The broad
black band near tip of tail distin.
guishes this from other grouse.
Range: Resident in the northern
two-thirds of the United States and
in the forested parts of Canada.
Habits and economic status:
ruffed grouse, the famed drummer and
finest game bird of the northern
woods, is usually wild and wary and
under reasonable protection well with.
stands the attacks of hunters. More
over, when reduced in numbers, it
responds to protection in a gratifying
manner and has proved to ‘be well
adapted to propagation under artificial
The |
|
conditions. Wild fruits, mast, and
browse make up the bulk of the vege
table food of this species.
It is very ;
fond of hazelnuts, beechnuts, chest: |
nuts, and acorns, and it eats practical- |
ly all kinds of wild berries and other '
fruits. Nearly 60 kinds of fruits have
been identified from the stomach con-
tents examined. Various weed seeds
also are consumed. Slightly more
than 10 per cent of the food consists
of insects, about half beetles. The
most important pests devoured are
the potato beetle, clover-root weevil,
the pale-striped flea beetle, grapevine
leaf-beetle, May beetles, grasshoppers,
cotton worms, army worms, cutworms,
the red-humped apple worm, and saw-
fly larvae. ‘While the economic record
of the- ruffed grouse is fairly com:
mendable, it does not call for more
stringent protection than is necessary
to maintain the species in reasonable
aumbers. .
Length, six inches. White below,
above gray, with a black head.
Range: Resident in the United
States, southern Canada, and Mexico.
Habits and economic status: This
bird might readily be mistaken by a
careless observer for a small wood-
pecker, but its note, an oft-repeated
yank, ‘is very unwoodpeckerlike, and,
unlike either woodpeckers or creép-
ers, it climbs downward as easily as
upward and seems to set the laws of
gravity at defiance. The name was
suggested by the habit of wedging
nuts, especially beechnuts, in the crev-
ices of bark so as to break them open
by blows from the sharp, strong bill.
The nuthatch gets its living from the
trunks and branches of trees, over
which it creeps from daylight to dark.
Insects and spiders constitute a little
more than 50 per cent of its food.
The largest items of these are beetles,
moths, and caterpillars, with ants and
wasps. The animal food is all in the
bird's favor except a few ladybird
beetles. More than half of the vege-
table food consists of mast, i. e.,
acorns and other nuts or large seeds.
One-tenth of the food is grain, most-
ly waste corn. The nuthatch does
no injury, so far as known, and much
g00¢4,
N° better way to satisfy an
enthusiastic appetite than
with Uneeda Biscuit. A delight-
ful food, as appetizing as it is
nourishing and wholesome, Per-

| their new home and returned shortly
carrying a rolling pin and a flat iron,
which she laid beside her twin bed.
“What in the world are you doing?”
asked the astonished groom. ‘You
