WHAT ROBERT SAW. Robert was ill. He had found that wet feet sometimes bring unexpected consequences. This time he had walked through the gutters on his way to school, and then sat all the afternoon in wet shoes, and so in- stead of going to grandma’s for a visit he went to bed. The days had been quite tedious, and when he began to sit up there was not much that amused him. Mamma drew his couch up by the window, that he might look out and see tke boys going to school. As he sat there he saw a bird fluttering about the gutter that ran by the bay window. The birds had begun some time ago to make the journey south, and so he was surprised that this nest was not vacant. He watched the bird and saw that he carried some- thing in his mouth each time. It was first a worm, then a bit of bread crumb from the dooryard. Robert called his mother to come and see the little fellow, working away so happily and briskly. Mamma was as surprised as Robert, and af- ter studying the bird’s comings and goings for a while she decided to call the gardener and have him investi- gate the matter. The man put a ladder against the window and went up to the nest. Mamma had wrapped a blanket about Robert, and now she opened the win- dow that he might see what the gar- dener had found. In some strange way the bird's mate had become entagled in a string that had unwound from the nest and which had been part of its founda- tion, and was so tied by the leg that it was impossible to get away. She had picked at the string and made her leg sore, but the knot was too strong for her. The gardener gently took up the nest in his hand and brought it down on a level with Rob- ert, and then began to unwind the threads that held the bird a prisoner. Her mate flashed back and forth, but did not act dismayed. He even seemed to know that help had come. It took but a few minutes to free the tangle, and then the man carried the nest back. Hardly had he done so than away flew the bird, and the first place she touched was the little pond in the garden, for she had been without water so long. She circled about the water, taking a dip now and then. Presently the mate sailed by, and together, like two children, they set off over the hills and away toward .the south. “I am sorry I disobeyed mamma about the gutters,” said Robert, as he watched the pair sail away, “but if I had not been sick we should not have known about the bird, so there was some good came out of it. I wonder if they will come back again in the spring?” He never knew whether they did or not, but he tried to make himself think that the birds which came to the nest in the gutter were the same. Perhaps they were, for as he watched them they seemed to be happy in the old nest.—Youth’s Companion. THE POPOCATAPETLS. “Two kittens! 1 thought Mrs. Bruce was to let you choose one.” “Yes, mamma,” said Philip, “but we didn’t know which to choose and Mrs. Bruce put them all on the floor, we called ’em to see which would come, an’ every time we called, these two came running to us.” “Just the same two, chimed in Bessie, “and can’t we keep them? Please, mamma?” Who could resist such eager little faces? Not Mamma Dale. “They are very pretty little maltese,” she said, smiling. ‘How can you tell them apart?” The children lifted the kittens’ heads, showing a white spot in the fur on each little neck. ‘“Breastpins,” cried big Sister Edith, “and Bessie’s has the larger. What shall you call them?” “I am going to call mine Popocata- petl,” said Philip, who was studying geography. “What?” laughed mamma and Edith together. mamma,’’ For the Younger | “1 want to call Popotoppykettle, too!’ cried Bessie. “You might name them both Popo- catapetl,” cried Edith, still laughing, “and call one by the first end, Popo, and the other by the last, Peil.” | | “And Pop and Pet tor short,” add- ed mamma. It was when the Popocatapetls had grown to be of a good size that Philip and Bessie came in one day with a jet black kitten, very glossy, very small, and very pretty. | “Children!” “He was all lost, mamma!’ cried Bessie, breathless with excitement. “And he followed us all the way home from school!’ added Philip. “Is he to be a Popocatapetl, too?” asked . Edith, mischievously. “You can call him by the middle of the name, you know, and make it Cata.” “May we, mamma?” Mamma was doubtful, but when papa came home he was positive. “This is too much, children,” he said. ‘“You cannot have three cats; you must give one of them away.” “Oh, papa, ccurse we can’t spare Pop or Pet, and Cata 1s so cunning! Oh! look at him now, swinging on the ehair!” “Isn’t he just the cutest’—— “You hear what I say?’ interrupt- ed papa. ‘You may keep whichever two you choose, but the third you must give away in the morning.’”” Philip and Bessie retreated to the broad window seat in the hall. Their mournful voices now “and then reached the sitting-room, where the older ones sat reading, although all seemed uncomfortable because the little ones were unhappy. Suddenly Edith put down her book and left the room. A few minutes later a peal of childish laughter rang out. “What a way Edith has with the children!” said Mr. Dale, locking re- lieved as the laugh rang out again. “She is a dear girl,” said Mrs. Dale. “I wonder what they are laughing at.’ Now, it so happened that the next day was Mr. Dale’s birthday, and when he came down in the morning he found upon his chair a covered basket. To its handle was tied a card: “For dear papa. With love from Philip and Bessie. Many happy returns!” “Mew!” came faintly from within the basket. Then the cover stirred, and up poked Cata’s little black face! Papa sat Cata on his shoulder, and laughed till the tears came. “Come here, my little rogues!” he called to the children, peepingsin at the door. ‘‘A man can’t refuse his own birthday present.” So the three Popocatapetls stayed with the Dales and were happy ever after. WHAT HE REALLY MEANT. Little Harold had heen directed by the teacher to write the word ‘fol- ly.” “I can’t,” said Harold, pencil busted.” “Why, Harold, what did you say was wrong with your pencil?’ “It’s busted.” “Dear me! Children, ean any of you tell what Harold means? I'm sure he hasn’t used the right werd.” Up went the hand eof little Mar- jorie. “Ah, Marporie, dear, I thought you would know. What does Harold mean?” “He meanth that hith penthil ith buthticated.” — Amercian Home Monthly. “cause my THE WRONG ILLUSTRATION. Ten o'clock and the small boy re- fused to become sleepy.

The Origin of Pearls. Three principal hypotheses have been offered to account for the origin of pearls. According to one, they arise from secretions caused by the presence of some foreign object, such as a grain of sand, within the shell of the oyster. But it has been shown that fine pearls are not thus pro- duced, but only pearly concretions. Another theory is that pearls are the result of disease in the oyster. The third hypothesis, sustained by M. Seurat, of the Oceangraphi¢c Mu- seum of Monaca, is that the origin of pearls is to be ascribed to the presence of a parasite. The species of parasite differs with the species of oyster, but this mode of origin, M. Seurat believes, is general with all fine pearls. To restore the lustre of a ‘“dead’” pearl the outer tarnished envelopes may be removed with acids. Thus the effect produced upon a tarnished pearl by causing a fowl to swallow it is accounted for by the dissolvent action of the gastric juice. -—Youth’s Companion. He Would Be a Farmer. United States Senator E. W. Pet- tus, of Alabama, who is eighty-six years of age, when asked what vo- cation he would choose if he were again beginning active life replied: “The high calling of a farmer. I would purchase a nicely located farm and settle down to farming as my lifework, thus guaranteeing to my loved ones and myself the highest and happiest of hours, with a full crib, a full smokehouse and a full Baid to Be the Proper Position Where Traffic Keeps to the Right. In driving we violate the most ele- { mentary requirements by persistently { sitting upon the WIOnE. side of the vehicle, writes F. M. Ware in Out- ing. We turn to the right and we sit on the right, thus effectively obscuring our view ahead in trafile; compelling our footmen to jump down into the dirty street and to run all around the carriage, both at stopping and starting, while to the friend who ! would accompany us in self driven vehicles we offer the alternative of crawling into our laps and under the reins or going out into the street and swarming up from that situation; or we alight, abandon control of the horse and clamber in after the pas- senger has preceded us. Was ever anything more riricu- lous? Nor can any one cite any sin- gle reason for sitting on the right (where traffic keeps to the right) or against sitting on the left. For more than thirty-five years 1 have alwavs sat on the left, and in driving any- thing from four to six horses down to one I have found it practical, con- venient, necessary. Think of the aggregate time lost at theatres, the opera, etc., while hundreds of footmen jump off, run around, open door, unioad, shut door, run around and climb to the box again! It is true that coaches brake on the off side and the brake works by hand, but it can as well act by the foot; or the handle come up off side of the driving cushion, if that is on the left. Anyhow, the infrequent coach needs no consideration; nor does the position of its driver. On the left one’s whip is clear of the face of the passenger, whether driving one or four, and yet the right arm is always unobstructed for any work; while even in a narrow seat the motionless whip arm is more comfortable for the companion than, when seated as customary, is the constantly moving left elbow point of the driver. Busy Dells. The pastor of the Wesleyan Meth- odist church at Bluffton, discouraged by the seeming indifference of his eongregation, and having exhausted ether means of bringing the recalci- trant members within hearing of the gospel, in the early evening began tolling the church bell, and the peo- ple hastened from every quarter to ascertain who was dead. Then the minister told them there was no one physically dead, but there was a hig lot of spiritually decayed, and it was in their behalf the bell was tolled. indeed, so well satisfied was the min- ister of their spiritual death that he proposed supplementing the tolling of the bell with eulogies more or less flattering concerning those he had in mind. It is said there was a feeling of relief when the congregation found | there was no need of physically sit- ting up with the dead, and that it manifested a callous indifference as to spiritual conditions. Tolling the bell for the spiritually dead is an in- novation. Doubtless the minister be- lieves anything is justifiable that will stir a sluggish soul into action, but if a similar view is shared by other pastors church bells are likely to be everworked.—Indianapolis News. Good and Bad Luck Omens. To sneeze on Friday presages mis- fortune. To see a shooting star means all sorts of good luck. To pick up an opal argues the ac- eeptance of some one’s evil fortune. Finding a piece of jewelry por- tends the bestowal of wealth. To put on a stocking wrong side eut, and the left shoe first, are both lucky. Finding an unopened letter means the reception of good news. To dream of a funeral is an excel- lent omen. To chase away a black cat means the throwing away of good luck. Bad luek will pursue you if you carry the handle of your umbrella down.—Philadelphia Inquirer. One of the Nearest Stars. There are very few stars whose dis- tance is even approximately known to astronomers. Moreover, the dif- ferent estimates of the distances of these few vary by large amounts. The nearest known star is ‘‘Alpha’ in the constellation Centaur, not visi- ble from the northern lands of the earth, and one of the next nearest is the little star in the northern con- stellation Cygnus, called “61 Cygni.” The latest determination of this star makes its distance fifty-three millions of millions of miles. This is about eighteen millions of millions of miles less than the distance derived from Professor Hall's measurement of some fifteen years ago. Average Speed of Clouds. A member of the staff of the Blue Hill Observatory, near Boston, has reported that observations made there show that the average speed with which clouds, between 8000 and 9000 feet high, move is sixty miles an hour in midsummer and one hundred and ten miles an hour in midwinter. The swiftest flight of a cloud yet measured was 230 miles an hour. The remittances to China made by coolies or laborers at work in other countries are now estimated to reach $50,000,000 annually, including $5,000,000 said to be sent home by the indentured coolies in the Trans- measure of usefulness.” vaal mines, SIT ON LEFE:IN -DRIVING, | | with an ensilage cutter. LAND FOR ALFALFA. In the growing of alfalfa the land must be plowed deep and harrowed fine. Manure and fertilizer should be applied liberally in the spring and lime applied on the land in the fall Sow the seed in the spring, using from ten to twenty pounds of seed, according to circumstances, sowing broadcast if the land is clear of grass and weeds. If not, it will be an advantage to drill the seed in rows, close together, and cultivate the first year with wheel hoes. Once established, an alfalfa plot will last for years, as the roots go down to great depths and secure moisture. In this section farmers should sow a few rows by way of experiment in the spring, and keep the plants free of grass and weeds. Some alfalfa growers find the fall the best time to seed the land. ACID SWEETENS LAND. When the land is sour and grown up with sorrel (which contains ox- alic acid), lime is said then to “sweeten” the soil by removing the sourness, but what it really does is to assist in changing the acids of the soil into carbonate and oxalate of lime, through chemical combinations, the sour soil becoming alkaline be- cause the lime has united with the acids which existed before its pres- ence. With the changes thus made follow others, but they may be rapid or slow, according to circumstances, sometimes the benefits from lime not being apparent until the second year, but on soils upon which lime has not been applied for years it never fails to give excellent results, and in proportion to the benefits de- rived it costs but little, is plentiful and should be used more extensively. DESTROYING WEEDS. There two ways of completely de- stroying weeds. One is to let them have the opportunity to grow, and, by frequently cultivating them, turn them under as fast as they make their appearance, the other being to crowd them out by growing some crop that will not give the weeds a chance to grow. No system of culti- vation will kill all the weeds if a crop is desired—such as corn—for the grass and weeds will only be kept down so long as cultivation lasts, especially as corn is usually “laid by’ at a time when the weeds are producing seeds, thus establish- ing themselves for the succeeding year. As a test of what supposed clean culture of corn may be simply cut down a row of stalks and a row of weeds will remain. As a single weed produces thousands of seeds the labor of destroying the weeds must be repeated next season. STRAW FOR STALLS. To derive the best results from straw when it is used for bedding and manure it should be cut fine ‘While the whole straw in the stalls answers the purpose well, yet it does not possess the power of absorbing the liquids until it is broken up. When passed through the cutter it is instantly made fine, and it then almost equals dry dirt. The same may be said of shredded cornstalks. It is of more advantage to pass them through the shredder than to throw them out to be trampled, as they can also be used with cut straw in the stalls. When the fine materials and manure are thrown on the heap there will be no coarse pieces to rot. The whole mass will quickly decompose, and with less loss of the valuable constit- uents than when the straw and stalks are uncut, while the labor of hand- ling and spreading such manure will be reduced to a minimum cost. FOREST PROPAGATION. In the last five years forest owners have wantonly wasted millions of dol- lars in timber destroyed. The forest experts at Washington frankly say they do not expect a great many pri- vate owners of smaller forests to care for their property as it actually should be cared for. But they do ex- pect corporations and States to look wfter their forest tracts more care- fully than they have been doing. States can derive three per cent. on every forest reserve they estab- lish, says Alfred Gaskill, of the For- est Service at Washington. And this even in planting forests. In- diana has a new reserve of two thou- sand acres which is expected to pay. Pennsylvania is systematically plant- ing trees under State control. Cali- fornia ‘alone has a working forest area of twenty million five hundred thousand acres; Maryland is begin- ning the study of forestry; Massa- chusetts has a State forestry associa- tion dealing with specific problems in that State; New Hampshire is doing forestry field work. Extensive examinations have been made by the Forest Service in Alaska, and in 1903 the Legislature of Hawaii passed a bill providing for an insular forest service and creating a Board of Agri- culture and Forestry. Last year there was field work on eight forest tracts, with a total area of one million sixty- eight thousand acres, in Minnesota, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Ala- bama and Texas.—Thomas R.

The cod fishing boat Christophe Colomb left Fecamp seven months ago and had never since been heard of. Quite three months ago the ves- sel was given up beyond hope as lost with all on board, and the first keen pangs of the families supposed to be bereaved of their breadwinners had begun to be dulled, when on Friday the captain of the British ship Gazelle, reported at Guernsey having passed the Christophe Colomb dismantled and in an altogether pitable condition both as to vessel and crew of 30 men, who had been reduced to. living on the dried cod forming the cargo. The Gazelle had given them all the bread, meat and water she had on board, but the captain of the Christophe Colomb refused to be taken in tow, and yes- terday reached Fecamp in safety, where every gaunt skeleton on board was received as ome returnd frcm the grave.—London Globe.

The Silent Cure. To the list of cures—air, water, milk and grape—the ‘“Gaulois” adds the ‘silence cure,” for those who are compelled to do much talking or to bear with much noise. Mme. Jeanne Giraud, inspector of the maternity schools, of Paris, has, in her in- structions to the teachers, recom- mended to them this treatment: “There is too much noise and talking going on in our schools,” she writes. “As a setoff you should have days of absolute silence, without speaking or being spoken to.” A Bold Step.
