The large blrd-Bhaped kite shown In the accompanying picture is called an "agloplan," the name coming from the French words "algle," meaning eagle, and "plan," meaning a level surface or plane. Thus the kite is called "eagle-plane,'1 or plane with the shape of an eagle, which It Is made to resemble. The wings and head of the bird kite are stiff planes, the body, as shown, being made of four Rqnare pieces of canvas stretched stiffly upon a frame of bamboo, steel and whale bone. The "agloplane" may be made to lift small cameras for taking birds-eye pictures or to ascend with Instruments for experimenting in wireless telegraphy, etc. By the pa triotic it may be made to carry the nation's banner to the skies. The builder, however, uses it for advertis ing purposes. It combines the lifting power of the old-style flat kite with the rigidity of the modern box-kite. Any boy can make one. Philadelphia Record. THE LITTLE ROOSTER. There was once upon a time a little tin rooster which stood very high in deed on the top of the town hall steeple. He was a new little rooster with a very long tail. He shone and glittered in the sun, and he thought to himself, as he stood there so far above all the other roosters down below In the barnyard: "Now this Is because I am made of tin, and have such a very Ions tail. They put me up here on the steeple for all the world to see." , . The little tin rooster stood perfect ly still, and felt very proud, and spread out his tail In the pleasant sunshine. He did not remember that he should be of some use in the world. He was thinking only of how pretty he looked in the sunlight. He was vain of his tin feathers, and he began to make a great deal of trouble for the people down In the village. Out in the harbor the old sailor had anchored his ship. He was go ing for a long voyage to foreign ports when the wind blew In from the west. There he would buy silk dresses for the grandmothers, and sugar and spices for the cooks, and great round oranges for all the little boys, and French dolls for all the little girls. "Ahoy, ahoy, up there!" the old sailor called out to the little rooster on the steeple. "Which way Is the wind? Will It blow from the west soon ? " "Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!" said the little tin rooster. "Now how should I know anything about the wind? I stand here that all the world may see how my tall glitters!" And the little rooster on 'he steeple stood still and never moved. As for the old sailor why, of coarse, he couldn't sail that day. Down In the meadow the busy farmer stood ready with his scythe to cut down his hay. Before he swung It over his shoulder, though, he looked up at the little rooster on the steeple. "Halloo, np there!" he said. "Which way Is the wind? Will It blow from the east to-day?" "Now how can I tell?" said the vain little rooster. "It is no affair of mine which way the wind blows. I stand here that all the world may see how brightly I shine in the sunshine." The farmer swung his scythe. Swish, swish, It went, and the yellow hay lay In great rows along the field. Then he raked It into round hay cocks; but, just as he had finished, splash, splash,' patter, patter! Ah, the wind was come up from the east, bringing the rain, and the farmer's hay was quite spoiled, all because of the foolish little rooster. In the wee cottage by the lane, mother dear was washing the baby's clothes. Caps and socks and frocks and tiny Jackets there were In a red tub and covered with snow-white soapsuds. Mother dear had her sleeves rolled to her elbows, and as she sudaTand rinsed and wrung the pretty things, she looked through the fines that grew round the eottrge wr" Y ft-'' A DEPARTMENT; door and up at the little rooster on the steeple. - "Will there.be a soft, south wind to-day," she asked, "to dry the baby's clothes?" "I don't know, I'm sure," said the little tin rooster. "You see I have no time to attend to such affairs. I am up here to be admired, not to watch for the wind." So mother dear hunt; all the baby's clothes out on the line; but, alas! no soft south wind came by. The clothes did not dry at all that day, which was partly the fault of the proud little rooster. Then Billy-boy came out In the vil lage street to play with his fine;, new kite. "Oh, ho, little rooster on the steeple!" Billy-boy called, "will you tell the old North Wind that I want him?" "Not I." said the little tin rooster. "I should have to turn myself about for that, and then my fine tall would not show so well. I am up here for all the world to see." "Who-oo-oo-o said that?" It was the old North Wind who had heard the little rooster. "Who-oo-oo-o said he would not turn for me?" "1 did," said the little rooster, quite bravely. "I am not going to turn for anybody!" "Whee-ee-e, we'll see about that," said the North Wind. So the North Wind Just blew and blew and blew, but the little tin roos ter never moved from where he stood on the steeple. Then the North Wind blew end blew and blew some more. Crash! Down went the proud little rooster to the ground. There he still lies with his pretty tin feathers all covered with rust. There is a new weather vane on the steeple, which always turns with the wind. Carolyn S. Bailey, in Kindergarten Review. LAND OF THE SOMBRERO. Every Mexican likes to liave a fine hat or sombrero. These hats, with high, pointed crowns and broad brims, are sometimes made of costly material and decorated with many bnnds and buckles of gold and silver. Then they weigh several pounds, and cost, perhaps, two or three hundred dollars. The plain sombreros are worn by the poor Mexicans dwelling In miserable huts In the country places. Some of these one-roomed homes are built of large, sun-dried adobe bricks. To live In one of them must seem like living in a box, for each has a flat roof, dirt floor, no win dows and but one door. These country people take their produce to market on their backs, or In ox carts, which have wheels made of solid wood. The wealthy people of Mexico live In large beautiful homes. Outside these buildings look rather plain, but Inside they are very rich. Usually, In the centre of the house, there Is a lovely garden, so that all the rooms may open onto It. There fountains play, birds sing and flowers send forth their fragrance. In parts of Mexico water is very hard to obtain. Many people make a business of sell ing it, going from house to house with their large Jugs. Usually the water carrier has two long jars of water strapped to his head, but those who are more fortunate carry the water Jars In wheelbarrows. Next year Mexico Is going to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of her Inde pendence. In that country there Is a president. Just as there Is In the United States. President Diaz, now about eighty years old, is completing his seventh term of office, and It is likely that he will again serve as president for the people who live In the land of the sombrero.

There Is nothing a crow likes so much as a tender baby robin, or thrush, or lark, and many a proud parent has come hurrying home with a fat worm for the gaping bills only to find that the nest has been despoiled by those big black cannibals, the crows. That is why every bird lover, says Mabel Osgood Wright, In the last number of Bird Lore, should make a point ot hunting out the crow haunts In his neighborhood and destroying the eggs as soon as laid. Of course, even crows have their feelings, but their behavior Is not to be endured. These black fellows are so warred upon by farmers because ot the dam age they do crops, that to those who don't know their ways It seems strange they are not exterminated. But though they look so stupid, they are really very wary and clever. They have been schooled in adversity and It has sharpened their wits. As to those other enemies of birds, .the cats, so many people are fond of them that it Is hardly safe to cry them down. But one man near New York City who loves both cats and birds solved the problem by confining his pet puss In a large, comfortable cage during May and June. The cage stood st one side ot his strawberry bed, thus cleverly protecting the birds from pass and his berries itum J.be birds by one stroke.

Alfalfa Is very long lived; fields in Mexico, It is claimed, have been con tinuously productive without replant ing for over 200 years, and others in France are known to have flourished for more than a century. Its usual life in the United States Is probably from ten to twenty-five years, al though there Is a field In Now York that has been mown successively for over sixty years. It Is not unlikely that under Its normal conditions and with normal care'lt would well nigh be, aB it Is called, everlasting. From Coburn's "The Book of Alfalfa." 6C.RATCHE11 FOR MANGY HOGS. To construct a practical scratcher for hogs, plaee two posts, five feel long, firmly in the ground and ten llojj Sera U' her. feet apart. Get a small lot; nnd mor tise an end in each post, having one end six inches, the other twelve inches from ground. This will fit both pigs and hoss. Cover posts and log with old grain sacks and tark them on securely. M!t common ma chine oil and kerosene In ennnl parts and keep baes well saturated. The hogs will do the rest. COMBAT THE PESTS. Have everything In the poultry house removable. Including roosts, nests, dropping hoards and every thing else that jroes to furnish a poul try house. It Is fo mueh easier to combat the lice and miles where these things are not fixed. They may be taken from the house, a little ker osene poured on them, a match ap plied, and the oil will burn without Retting fire to the wood. Then If the Interior of the house Is sprayed with some good liquid lice killer, and new nesting material provided, the both ersome insects will soon cense to he a pest. Where furnishings are per manent It Is almost impossible to rid (he premises of these pests. Indian apolis News. BEGINNING RIGHT. There are thousands of people be i coming Interested each year In the ) poultry business, while very few enter It with the correct Ideas of true suc i cess and how to derive the greatest profit from their work. Not a few , of those beginning in the business are over enthusiastic at the start. They read a paper clipping or a re port from some large plant making a : success and think If they buy a few chickens, dump them in an old out shed, throw In a little feed between times, that everything will be peaches and cream. In fact, in the evening they start to gather the eggs with a basket large enough for the whole year's crop. It Is needless for me to narrate the disappointment and dis . gust thee poor mortals have for the I poultry industry. VETCHES FOR SHEEP, j The farmers In this country are ! finding the vetch a very profitable I plant for sheep and for other stock, ana are Degmning to grow it in Borne sections to a considerable extent. The Canadian department of agricul ture at Ottawa has Issued a bulletin No. 12, showing the value of this plant, especially for sheep, and in considering special crops for sheep It discusses in this connection clover, al falfa, vetches, rape, cabbage, turnips, mangels, corn and the several classes ot grain. Each is treated separately In regard to method of cultivation and manner of feeding. Dealing with vetches the bulletin says: "Vetches, or tares, as they are also called, make excellent fodder for sheep, either as a soiling crop or as cured hay. This crop much resem bles peas in habit of growth and re quires about the same kind of culti vation. Its vines are more slender than pea vines and stand up better when grown with a stiff variety of oats. Vetches are grown extensively for sheep feed In Great Britain, and to some extent In Canada for the same purpose. The writer, while raising sheep, always grew a small area of tares with oats for soiling the show flock, and in case of a shortage of clover, vetches were cured for hay. The crop being fine In vine and very leafy Is unci relished by sheep and constitutes a rich diet. "Two varieties ot vetches are grown for fodder. The common vetch Is the chief sort cultivated, but the hairy variety Is receiving some at tention, Th latter produces the heavier yield, but so far the seed having to be Imported Is very expen sive and few care to bother with It. vilWlian Burner. ooooooo 1 R The Si rev. it was cnB 0f t;:eso . t,wttJ.-.y'''p7 spectacles on his ?V.

WHITEJ UGHT ANNUAL LOSS IS ENORMOUS Two Hundred Million Dollars a Year Might Be Added to Wealth of Country. Computing that there are in the United States at least 300,000 indigent consumptives who should be cared for in charitable or semi'-charitable sana toria and hospitals, the National As sociation for the Study nnd Preven tion of Tuberculosis estimates that the annual cost to the country for the treatment of these persons would be $50,000,000 at the rate of $1.C69 per dny per patient. At the lowest pos sible estimate the country loses $200, 000,000 a year from the incapacity of these Indigent victims of tuberculo sis. This would mean a net saving of $150,000,000 a year to the United States if all victims of consumption who are too poor to afford proper treatment in expensive sanatoria were cared for at the expense of the munic ipality, county or Btate. And this an nual gain does not include the enor mous saving that would accrue from the lessened Infection due to the seg regation of the dangerous consump tives In institutions. The Dentist's Joke.
