THE BIRD OF DEATH
It I the Only Venomous Ieiulier
of
the Feathered Tribe
Among all the thousands of feathered
creatures classified by the trained or
nithologists but one the rpir udoob
or bird of death is known to be ven
omous This queer and deadly species
of the winged and feathered tribe is a
native of the island of Papua or New
Guinea The bird is described as be
ing about the size of a common tame
pigeon of gray plumage and a tail of
extraordinary length ending in a tip
of brilliant scarlet red It is a marsh
bird and is found to inhabit only the
immense stagnant pools adjoining the
lakes of the interior of the Island The
rpir has a hooked beak as sharp as a
cocks spur and hollow The venom
with which it inoculates is distilled in
a set of organs which nature has pro
Aided for that purpose and which lie in
the upper mandible just below the
openings of the nostrils Under this
poison secreting laboratory in the roof
of the mouth is a small fleshy knob
When the bird sets its beak in the
flesh of a victim this knob receives a
pressure which liberates the venom
and inoculates the wound No man
native or otherwise was ever known
to recover from a bite inflicted by a
rpir ndoob The suffering in such
cases is said to be much more agoniz
ing than in cases of rattlesnake and
Gila monster bites
A Persistent Nest Builder
One of the most energetic nest build
ers is the marsh wren In fact he has
the habit to such a degree that he can
not stop with one nest but goes on
building four or five in rapid succes
sion And there is nothing slovenly
about his work either Look among the
cattails in the nearest marsh even
within the limits of a great city and
you will find his little woven balls of
reed stems with a tiny round hole in
one side There is a certain method
even in his madness for the nest in
which his wife is brooding her seven
or eight eggs is less likely to be found
when there are so many empty ones
around Then too he uses the others
as roosting places for himself London

Carat as Applied to Diamonds
Although the term carat is applied
to diamonds as well as to gold it does
not mean the same thing Used with
regard to the metal it expresses quality
or fineness 24 carat being pure gold
and 22 carat equal to coined gold But
applied to the diamond carat means ac
tual weight and by this measure llu1
carats are equal to an ounce troy The
value of a diamond is not merely so
much per carat irrespective of size
but increases in an increasing ratio
with the weight of the stone
Ceremony
I think there is a great deal of dif

Too CariouN
One well known New York woman
has discovered like some others of her
sex that it does not pay to be too curi
ous One of the old family retainers is
a Scotchman named William who does
not believe in glossing over the truth
for the sake of sparing his listeners
feelings The woman in question al
though possessed of considerable charm
of manner is not a beauty and knows
it Her husband recently deceased
was a remarkably handsome man and
his wife was one of his sincerest ad
mirers One day when she was looking
at her husbands picture on the mantel
in the sittlm room William was fuss
ing around the grate and in a moment
of impulse she asked
William what do you think made

The African Drum
The African drum appears in varied
and often picturesque forms The na
tives make drums out of shells tree
trunks or earthenware covered with
the skin of some wild animal or some
times with India rubber Of the origi
nal calabash drums there is probably
only one specimen In Europe Some of
the drums are highly ornamented
either by painting or carving One
specimen indeed has puzzled travelers
for there is depicted on it unmistaka
bly a cross and also a head of European
type A drum found in upper Lualaha
has a unique peculiarity in the way of
a sympathetic cord formed by means
of a small tube ingeniously inserted in
the side of the instrument which
causes when the drum is beaten a vi
bration resembling that of the reed
pipe Southern Workman
A Plea For Soup
A learned doctor pleading for soup
on every dinner table says A person
comes to dinner weary and hungry
and needs first something to stimulate
the secretions of the stomach The
first course hot soup does this by its
action upon the nerves which control
the blood vessels Taking the soup
slowly is an aid to digestion and if
not a favorite dish fish or oysters can
be substituted serving the same pur
pose The joint or roast can then be
taken with benefit to the system and
the game vegetables and sweets
should follow in their order not nec
essarily in courses for the plain fam
ily dinner however
Mileage of the Blood
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astounding facts in our
personal history Thus it has been cal
culated that assuming the heart to
beat CO times a minute at ordinary
heart pressure the blood goes at the
rate of 207 yards in the minute or sev
en miles per hour 16S miles per day
and G320 miles per year If a man
of eighty four years of age could have
one single blood corpuscle floating in
his blood all his life it would have
traveled in that same time 5lu0S0S
miles
Watch and See
A well known horseman describes a
fact in natural history which may not
he generally known It is that all four
footed beasts in making the first move
ment in walking running or any sort
of forward motion always employ the
left hind leg as a starter Even a
child if put down on all fours and bid
den to advance in that position will
make the first move with its left leg
Its hands at the time occupying the
place of an animals fore legs
