THE FEATHERED TRIBE.
There has been made a list of 210 birds
which inhabit Alaska.
A bird of immense wing power is the
tiny storm petrel, the smallest web footed
bird known. It belongs to every sea, nnd
has often been observed 2,000 miles from
the nearest land.
The parrot has not tho monopoly of the
power of talking among birds. The my

pounds was killed a short time ago on the

fiber of a plant, first piercing the holes in
them with its beak. The bottom of the
nest has a heavy layer of cotton.
Supply the weaver birds with as much
string nnd straw as you please and they
will use it all up f;ister than you could
imagine possible in weaving, composing
their fabric with a perfection and elabor
ateness simply astonishing.
There are parrots in New Zealand that
live on sheep flesh. They attack the living
Hocks and bite out tho flesh with their
strong beaks, choosing the portions in the
' small of tho back, where the fat nbout the
kidneys is especially succulent.
There are certain birds somo of the
cuckoos of the old world und tho common
cow bluckbirds' of America which never
ouild nests of their own, but lay their eggs
in the nests of other birds and leave them
u be hatched by foster mothers.
The African rhinoceros bird feeds on
the vermin which infests the big animal,
it iu always found with a rhinoceros, and
whon its huge food provider is asleep the
bird cits on tlio beast's back, ready to give
warning iu case dungcr approaches.

waits on middle age.
Governor David B. Hill never lets his
plans be kiown, and belieres that in that
method lies the secret of success,
Ex-Secretury of State of New York Fred

md believes thut luck has much to do with
success In this world.

cultivates friendships outside the circle of
Uis life work, and believes tbey go far to
ward winning success in life.

tho bast assistants and holding them strict

The American magazines have come
to be recognized the workl over as the
best illustrated and most ably conduct
ed: in fact, it is said that larger edi
tions are sold in England of at least
two of our leading magazines than of
any of the English monthlies. This
condition has resulted from the fact
that the American magazines hesitate
at no expense, either for the purchase
of manuscript or illustration. $50,000
has been paid by one magazine for a
single scries. Millions are invested in
the business, and they can well afford
to pay any price for an article of un
usual interest. Probably no single
cause is having such an effect in the
education of both old and young
America as these magazines. They
are penetrating into every household.
Their beautiful engravings serve as in
structors even to those unable or too
busy to read. The most popular auth
ors recognize that they can obtain
more money from the magazines than
by publishing in book form. In prop
ortion to bound volumes, the magazine
gives as four to one. Take for in
stance the Cosmopolitan, which con
tains annuallyvis36 pages by the lead
ing writers of the world, and more
than 1 200 illustrations by clever artists.
That would make four volumes of
nearly 400 pages each, yet it is furnish
ed to the subscriber at only $2.40 a
year. The four bound volumes which
it would make would be worth on the
book stands not less than $12.00. It
seems impossible that so much should
be furnished for so little, and it is only
when the number reaches 100.000 or
upwards that such work can be turned
out at a profit to the publisher. Form
erly it was considered impossible to
place such a magazine before the pub
lic for less than $4.00 per annum, and
the predictions were numerous, when
the price of the Cosmopolitan was
fixed at $2.40, that it would be impos
sible for it to survive at such a figure.
The publisher believed that a first-class
magazine at the low price of $2.40
would be quickly appreciated by the
public. His expectations have been
more than fullfilled, and the December
issue of the Cosmopolitan reached the
100,000 mark.

MBS. BEECHER'S STORY.
THE GREAT PREACHER'S WIDOW IS TO
WRITE OF ' MR. UEECHER AS I KNEW
HIM.
11
It is granted to but few women to
be part of such an eventful life as has
been that of the wife of Henry Ward
Becchcr. No man of this century had
such a busy life, filled with so many
honors and achievements ; and to view
such a career through the eyes of his
life-long companion is a pleasure rare
ly given to a public. Mr. Bcccher
was a lover of the domestic fireside.
"My home is my temple," he once
raid, and in that home he gathered
round him what his nature loved best:
birds, flowers, and dainty bits of china
and costly gems. If he was great in
public life, Mr. Beechcr was greater in
his home-life. In the one capacity he
gave himself to the public ; in the
other he reserved himself for his fam
ily. In this latter light he will be
viewed by his widow in a notable
series of reminiscent papers in the
Ladies' Jonm Journal, of Philadel
phia, during 1801. The articles will
cover the entire period of their mar
riage from the first year of married
life, when the couple lived on $300
for twelve months, until the closing of
Mr. Beecher's great career. . Mrs.
Beecher will tell of "Mr. Beechcr as I
Knew Him," and thousands will glad
ly listen to her interesting story.
No Matter How Hard
any druggist tries to sell you his own
cough medicine, remember he does it
because he makes more money on it.
Insist on having Kemps Balsam for
the throat or lungs, for there is no
cough remedy so pure and none so
quick to break up a cold. For in
fluenza, soreness of the throat and
tickling irritation with constant cough,
Kemp s Balsam is an immediate cute.
Large bottles 50c and $1. At all
druggists.
Indigestion
IS not only a distressing complaint, ot
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Aycr's Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by' the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Urockway
Centre, Mich.:
"Liver complaint and Indigestion
made my life a burden nnd camo near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
bad strength to drag myself about. Ail
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
oil. Within, the time mentioned several
fihvsicians treated me without giving re
lef. Kotliing that I took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenoed
the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which
lias produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa
rilla I could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength im
proved eneh day, anil after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, ablo to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given mo a
new lease of life."
