BIRD JOURNEYS. Small Animals Often Travel on the Backs of Large Ones. It has often been asked how small and weak birds manage to fly such enormous distances when migrating. As a rule, however, small birds that have come very far across the sea have not flown, but have been blown over during violent gales, and many of them arrive on land in a half dead condition. In fair weather small birds make long journeys successfully over considerable tracts of ocean, but the reason is that they are carried on the backs of the larger ones. When passing an autumn in Crete a writer asserts that he distinctly heard the twittering of small birds when flocks of sand cranes were passing overhead on their way to southern shores. On another occasion, when firing a gun, he saw three small birds rise from the flock and disappear again among the cranes. A native priest assured him that they came over from Europe with them, while it has been found that small birds, never before seen in certain parts, have been brought thither at times of migration. Another cause is that small birds do not make their journeys in one flight. They generally rest during the day, searching for food, and thus proceed to their destination by easy stages. THE PEARL WORKERS. A Bethlehem Industry Which Is Five Hundred Years Old. The chief industry of Bethlehem of Judaea is that of the mother-of-pearl workers. The shells are brought from the Red sea and in the hands of native artisans are polished and carved, the larger into elaborate designs. The smaller are cut up for rosaries and crosses.

A Bethlehem Industry Which Is Five Hundred Years Old. The chief industry of Bethlehem of Judaea is that of the mother-of-pearl workers. The shells are brought from the Red sea and in the hands of native artisans are polished and carved, the larger into elaborate designs. The smaller are cut up for rosaries and crosses. The work is all done by hand, and the methods are amazingly primitive to a spectator from the home of steam and electric power. But the results are extraordinary. The largest shell we saw was carved in scenes from the birth of Christ, the agony in the garden and the crucifixion, and had the general effect of delicate frostwork. Under the magnifying glass every detail was seen to be perfect in outline and in finish. It was executed to order for a wealthy American and was to cost $160. About 150 people make a living by this industry, which is 500 years old. In the shops the workmen sit upon the floor, their benches in front of them. The air is full of whitish dust, and the light admitted by the single window and the open door is so dim that the exquisite tracery of the wrought shells is a mystery even before the visitor notes how few, simple and crude are the instruments employed. — Marion Harland in Lippincott's. For Thin Babies Fat is of great account to a baby; that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle.

The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy; they do not cry; they are rich; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat surrounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emulsion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy.

The bad man of genuine sort rarely had the part assigned to him in the near imagination. The long haired merer, adorned with a dialect that he was spoken, serves very well in modern fiction about the west, but that is the real thing. The most danger-man was apt to be quiet and with spoken. When an antagonist interfered and threatened, the most serious bad man only felt rising in down soul, keen and stern, that huge exultation which often comes in combat for the man naturally. A western officer of established station once said to me while speak-of a personal difficulty into which had been forced: "I hadn’t been in mind of that sort for years, and I had I was out of it. Then I said to myself, ‘Is it true that you are getting and have lost your nerve?’ Then it once the old feeling came over and I was just like I used to be. I calm and happy, and I laughed aft-that. I jerked my gun and shoved his stomach. He put up his arms and apologized. ‘I will give you hundred dollars now,’ he said, ‘if will tell me where you got that.’ I suppose I was a trifle quick him.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Roof Dogs of New York. There are dogs in New York that set foot on the street. They be-to the janitors in the downtown buildings, and their runways consist of roofs of the buildings in which owners live and adjoining roofs are same level. That is a rare day when the office worker on looking out the sixteenth story window does see half a dozen dogs romping upon the roofs beneath him. He is one advantage at least in being a roof dog—the dog catcher has no fears for him. NORTHERN RESERVOIR SITES Washington, March 24.—Representative Gillett introduced the following bill today: “That there is hereby appropriated the sum of $200,000 out of any money in the general fund not otherwise appropriated, to be used by the Secretary of the Interior in making examinations and surveys for the location of reclamation and irrigation works for the storage, diversion and control of waters arising or occurring in the valleys of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers in California and on streams tributary thereto.” Gillett said his bill was offered for the purpose of carrying into effect the plan outlined by consulting engineer Grunsky in his report to Director Walcott of the geological survey, dated January 16, 1905, and was called forth by resolutions adopted last fall by the California Miners' association. It is proposed to make a careful and complete survey of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and tributaries, for the purpose of devising a project for the drainage and reclamation of adjacent lands and for the irrigation of these lands by means of reservoirs storing flood waters. The general plan is to relieve the rivers of flood waters in winter, thus preventing inundation and to utilize store waters during the summer. It is roughly estimated that this work will cost about $15,000,000. The state of California will have to co-operate with the government, of course, if the project is found to be feasible. Chief Engineer Newell of the recla- A Good Beginning. Bythe—I intend Harry for the bar. And you advise his beginning on old works as Coke and Black?

Good Listeners. Conversing with one's friends noth so chilling as an apparent lack waters. The general plan is to relieve the rivers of flood waters in winter, thus preventing inundation and to utilize store waters during the summer. It is roughly estimated that this work will cost about $15,000,000. The state of California will have to co-operate with the government, of course, if the project is found to be feasible. Chief Engineer Newell of the reclamation service is deeply interested in the Sacramento Valley project, and favors the Gillett bill. He said today: "The utilization of the resources of the great valley of California must begin with the study and the control of the forests; building of reservoirs, and the constructing of dykes. Real progress cannot be made until a knowledge based upon accurate observation is obtained as to what will probably take place when the forests are preserved, reservoirs built, rivers straightened and leveed, debris conducted upon worthless low lands and a hundred kindred questions settled which involve systematic and continuous investigation. "In co-operation with the forest service, the reclamation service is concerned in all questions for the protection of watersheds by federal government reserves. In co-operation with the state, examinations and surveys are being made of all possible reservoir sites. It appears that enormous volumes of water can be held at reasonable cost for the benefit of irrigation. Those storage sites will be indirectly beneficial in reducing floods. Accurate surveys are being made of mountains and foothills, and maps are being prepared showing every five feet in rise of the surface of low lands. These maps for the first time are making people acquainted with the actual conditions of a vast extent of overflowed land. The debris question is being studied from a careful scientific standpoint and material is being obtained as to the magnitude of the problem and the effect of debris on the river system as a whole. Good Listeners. Conversing with one's friends nothings so chilling as an apparent lack of attention and sympathy. It might be said that nothing is more vulgar than not the listener's indifference upon to the majority of our most loved people. If when one is added she will remember to incline body slightly forward an attitude not attention will soon be unconveniently assumed and, whether really any of it or not, new recruits gainer the always popular, as rare, known as "good listeners." A Tough Problem. The following letter received at this has been referred to the Lancasiterary society: "I married a widow and went to live in the home he had lived with his first wife. And a number of her clothes in a coat—to wit, one brown dress skirt, nettlecoats, three pairs of stockings, pair of slippers and a black silk coat." How shall I dispose of them in my that will be satisfactory to her loves and the neighbors?"—Atchilobe. Malicious. I suppose I shall have to wear evil. It's the only one I have. It's thick one can hardly see my face with it. Edith—Oh, wear it, by all. Everybody says you never anything half so becoming. Ancient Salt Currency. In various countries anciently and in some eastern ones down to the present time salt has been recognized as a medium of exchange. Cosmas speaks of a salt currency as being in use in the heart of Africa in the sixth century. Marco Polo in his work "Concerning the Kingdoms and Marvels of the East," written in the thirteenth century, tells us the Tibetans had none of the great khan's paper money, but used salt instead. Their small change was made thus: They had salt, which they boiled and set in a mold flat below and round above, and every piece from the mold weighed half a pound. On these molds the prince's mark was set, and none but the royal officers specially appointed was permitted to make it. Eighty of these molds were reckoned to be equal to a "sagglo of fine gold."
