An Unprofitable Gift.
Faifners, even those not otherwise
noted/ for liberality, are usually very
willing to give a “lift” in their wagons
to peflestrians, unless the person's ap-
pearance is decidedly unprepossessing,
and provided, of course, the request is
made in proper form.
A farmer, returning from town with
an empty produce wagon, overtook a
young man plodding along with the
discouraged air of a city man unusued
to dirt roads. ‘
“Hullo, Jersey!” eried the stranger,
Lriskly, “Can a man get a lift to Vine-
land?”
“I don’t see why he can’t,” respond-
ed the farmer, in a non-committal way.
“Then I'll take a ride,” said the
stranger, vaulting into the wagon, and
making himself comfortable. °
After two or three miles had been
traversed, the stranger paused in his
inconsequential talk long enough te
observe,—
“It's quite a distance to Vineland?”
“Yes, it is a distance,” admitted the
farmer.
Another mile was passed, and then
the stranger inquired, —
“About how far is it to Vineland?”
“Well, replied the farmer, medita-
tively, “keeping’ straight ahead, the
way we're goin’ now, it's about twenty-
five thousand miles; but if you'll get
out and hoof it back it ain't more’'n six
or seven.” :
The stranger got out and “hoofed” it
back.
A Notable Owl.
The Zoological Gardens have invar-
iably possessed specimens of the owl
family in superabundance, but a new
arrival is of an unusual character. An
owl from Australia, which has th+ _ech-
nical name of Hieracoglaux connivens |
and the pseudo-vernacular name of the |
“winking owl,” is quite a novelty to the
collection. Blinking owls are well
known; winking owls open a new chap-
ter; but after all, if it has to connive,
as the Latin name seems to urge, it
must wink rather than blink. On the |
same day there arrived a barn-owl from |
foreign parts. This bird has the widest
range over the globe of any bird, or, at |
any rate, it is not exceeded by any. |
There are barn-owls even in the remote
Galapagos. They “snore” and “hiss,”
not merely from China to Peru, but|
throughout the habitable globe, save |
Sweden and New Zealand.

Catarrk of any organ, if ailewsd to pro-
gress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh
without nervousness is very rare, but pel-
vic catarrh snd mervensness go hand in
hand.

It is safe to say that pure water may |
be drunk at any time and with hardly |
any limitations save such as might ap- |
peal to any one. Water is universally
man’s greatest and safest drink and, |
rightly used, would in itself largely help |
to extend his life well towards the cen- |
tury mark. Food tastes better and is
more agreeably relished by the water
drinker than by those who drink wine |
at table. Strong liquors taken at all
times confer no useful assistance in
passing the dangers of life, and in self-
interest it would be nearer to safety to
let nature’s provision for drink have]
full credit, as being the best, and accept |
no substitute. A good drink for man
is pure water, and the ordinary drink-
ing water of a country is or should be
always appreciated by the dweller in
that country.
