Pander Wags His Tail When Happy-— There Are Birds That Blush When Angry. « | A writer in an English publication leclares that birds wag their: tails when they are happy. “The gander)” pe says, “when he has to his satisfac- tion driven off a dog from the pres- snce of his spouse, returns to her cran- pg his neck toward her and wags his tail with pleasure. Our: jackdaw—or rather jilldaw, as it is a female—on our return afew days since after two months’ absence, cried out lustily to us from the bush where she was perched, and &n pur going to greet her she received us with profuse tail wagging to show her pleasure at our return. She always greets her particular friends in the household by wagging her tail, crouch- |ng on her perch, and:cawing in an un- fertone.” Another observer finds that some birds blush. He writes: “We have a yery fine specimen of the blue and yel- low macaw which displays this trait— pot often, for he is remarkably good- tempered—and the blush is an invariable pign of anger; so much so that we warn all friends that while his cheeks remain white all attacks are feigned and in play, ger signal’—red—shows, to look out and keep out of reach.” angry or excited.” i Metal Until Montana Assumed { That Honor in 1892.

The largest number of women em- ployes in any line of work are employed iz the United States postal service. Some of the highest salaried women in the world are employed thus. More than one-third of them are past middle nge, and many are past 70 years, sayy the Chicago Tribune. Many of the women are mail wagon drivers, having long and lonesome trips in uninhabited parts of the country. In great numbers they are employed in the rural free delivery. Nearly all the experts in the dead letter office are women. They have to perform tasks which to the average per- son would seem impossible. It is their duty to take charge of the 6,000 pieces of mail which go astray every year, and they must see that these waifs get to their proper destinations, if possible, and if not they are returned to the senders. Many of the rural post offices are filled by women. The reasons why a large number of these rural post offices are in- trusted to women are not hard to find. The work is usually light and is such as can be handled by a woman. It is the general opinion that women in such po- sitions have given the best work to the department. .GREATEST CHEESE MARKET. Alkmaar, Holland, Holds World’ Record in Quantity of (Teese Shipped to Other Points. Alkmaar is not only the greatest cheese market of Holland, but also of the world, says What to Eat. From this town yearly 10,000,000 pounds of cheese are sent out, yet the visitor, even on market Friday, finds no amount of busi- ness commensurate with these figures going on in the quiet town of 10,000 in- habitants. The reason is that the cheese is made in the dairies im the country round about Alkmaar, and only brought into town to be shipped away On market day the peasants from the surrounding country begin to flock into town very early, bringing with them loads of red and yellow balls of cheese. The high, clumsy carts with long curv- ing tongues, on one side of which the horse is hitched, are quite as picturesque as the peasants themsalves in gala at- tire. After unhitching and caring for their horses, unloading the cheese and piling it in an orderly pile in the open square, they wander about visiting with their neighbors, while they wait their turn in the weigh house. Southern Ports Are Gaining. Compared with 1901, the exports from North Atlantic ports have de- creased heavily. Boston lost $55,000,- 000; New York, $24,000,000; Philadel- phia, $6,000,000; Baltimore, $25,000,000; Newport News, $7,000,000, and at Nor- folk the loss was nearly $2,000,000. All ports further south gained. The increase at Washington, N. C., was $2,000,000; at Savannah, $8,000,000, and Galveston, $8,000,000. Exports across the Mexican border have increased $5,- 000,000; from Pacific ports, $10,000,000, and from the northern border and lake ports the increase has been $18,000,000. r e board is increasing its lead. imports into the United States of $1- 025,000,000, 80 per cent. came through the Atlantic ports.

This thermit is a compound discov: ered by Dr. Hans Goldschmidt, of Essen, Germany, who has been lec: saring in this country before chemi eal and engineering associations ou this chemical discovery of his that is so full of engineering possibilities; a discovery that, unlike so many scien- tific discoveries, is not merely inter esting to the scientist, but commer- elally valuable in the industrial world. The thermit is a mixture of finely granulated or powdered aluminum with some metaihic oxide, most fre quently oxide of iron. This mixture looks not unlike gunpowder, or to a housewife would suggest mixed tea, the light granules being aluminum and the dark ones oxide of iron. In burning this mixture creates a tem perature, as Dr. Goldschmidt ex- pressed it in a paper read at the an- nual meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, “about equal to that of the electric arc light.” THE VORACIOUS DOGFISH. Will Annihilate Maine Fisheries If Government Doesn't Help Kill It. Fish Warden N. J. Hanna, of Rock- land, has the following to say, according to the Portland Press, relative to a gov- ernment bounty on dogfish: “There i§ no doubt but that for five years these scavengers of the sea have wrought more damage te our fishing in- dustry than in a quarter of a century. They swarm every bay and even pene- trate our rivers. They came into Cape Cod by the million five years ago and now Maine's fishing industry is at their mercy. Years ago they came only about a month or six weeks each year from August to September and at the first northerly wind they disappeared, but now they are with us about all the year. “What are known as the whip lash dogfish are our scourge—a small, vora- cious fish that feeds on every other fish that is not its master. A species of the shark, the large one, will attack a man. I remember 22 years ago a boy fell over- board off Monhegan and before he was rescued he was literally torn to pieces, the water surrounding being covered with blood. “They are not a menace to the lobster, as claimed. A dogfish has to turn upon its back to bite, and the lobster beirg a bottom of the sea shell fish has ample protection in his location. There should by all means be a goverament bounty of five cents apiece or over for these dog- fish. If something is not done there will be in ttme annihilation of one of Maine's grea’est industries—her fisheries.” OLD INDIAN BATTLEFIELD. Implements of Warfare Found Where Iowa and Kansas Twibes Strug- gled for Mastery. George Remsburg believes he has dis- covered the seene of a great fight had between the Iowa and Kansas Indians near what is known as Oak Mills, in Atchison county. The Kansas Indians held the country along the Missouri river until about the time of ou? revo- Iutionary war, when they were driven away by the Sac and Iowa tribes, which came down from the north and con- quered the region. The Oak Mills loca- tion is supposed to have been the place of one of their greatest battles. At this point, says the Kansas City Journal, many human bones and implements of war have been plowed up. Kansas has been the scene of Indian battles innumerable and almost every county has traditions of fights of this character. One of the most remarkable engage- ments of the kind took place in com- paratively modern times between the Pawnees and Sioux in the valley of Beaver creek, near the northwest corner of Kansas. The Pawnees were slaugh- tered in great numbers, the Sioux being the victors. After the battle the Paw- nees returned and cared for their dead. This they did by erecting platforms out of poles and branches, and putting the bodies on them out of the reach of wolves and other animals, When the first fringe of the white settlement had reached as far as Phil- fips county some of these platforms were still standing and still supported the whitened bones of the dead repos- ing upon them. A buffalo hunter once told Topics of a curious sight he saw at this graveyard. Some “horse hunt- ters” were hunting In the vicinity, Horse hunters were those who chased the buffalo on horseback, and they were hated cordially by the “foot hunters,” who stalked the game, because they ran the buffalo out of the country. On the occasion mentioned the horse NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY, From Napier New Zealand Herald—Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of New South Wales, Australia, had an analysis made of all the congh medicines that were sold in that market, Out of the entire list they found only one that they declared was entirely free from all poisons.
