On one of her trips abroad many years ago she purchased and ‘brought here the ancestors of these birds, af a cost of $1,000. They live in se] enty large cases. It costs Mrs. Noble $05 a year to feed her birds, and the most ex pensive heating and ven ilating ar rangements obtainable are provided for them. Overworked Smokestacks. Smokestacks are often much over worked in manufacturing plants. The number of flues turned into them is made so great, as the establishment grows, that deficient draft often inter feres serious’y with the usefulness of boileds. Sometimes nine do more work j than seven of like size and structure would, if the chimneys were adequate. Every housekeeper should know that : if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save ! not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in -pound packages, and the price is the same. 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoy ance of the iron sticking. Defiance neter sticks. In a Bay Way. It takes a good man to realize the psychological moment when he is down and out Here is one: “M> head is caked, my brain is like sole leather and my blood is turning to vinegar.

DEFIANCE STARCH « Woman’s Trials. The bitter trail in a woman’s life Ip to be childless. Who can tell how hard the struggle mat have been ere she learnt to resign herself to her lonely lot ? The ab sence of this link to bind marital life together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection is a common disap pointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whale extent of their disappointment in the eyes of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the I largest family does not seem too numerous. \ In manv cases of barrenness or child- . lessness the obstacle to child-liearing is ! easily removed by the cure of weakness on the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce’s Fa- 1 vorite Prescription has been the means of I restoring heaitli and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of a surgical character, but easily removable hv painless operative treatment at the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur gical Institute. Buffalo. X. Y„ over which Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription" fame presides. In all cases where chil dren are desired and are absent, an effort should tie made to lind out the real cause, since it is generally so easily removed by proper treatment. In all the Various wcakne-ses. displace- i meats, prolapsus, inflammation and de bilitating. catarrhal drains and in ail i cases of nervousness and debility. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the most efficient remedy that can possibly be used. It has to its credit hundreds of thousands I of cures—more in fact than t*ny other remedy put up for sale through druggists. ! especially for woman’s use. The ingredi- 1 ents of whicti the " Favorite Prescription" ! is composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leading j medical writers on Materia Medica of all the several schools of practice. All the I ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so i that any woman making use of this famous medicine mav know exactly what she is taking. Dr. Bierce takes his pa tients into his full confidence, which he can afford to do as the formula after which the "Favorite Prescription" is made will bear the most careful exam ination. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the best and safest iaxative for women. Light on Planets. If Mars and Saturn reflected the same proportion of the light whiel falls upon their surfaces the smallet and much nearer planet would look three times as bright as the much more distant and much large Saturn As a matter of fact there is no great difference between the two. It is in j ferred from this fact that the visible j surface of land and water would re- ; fleet so much light as that planet gives. $100 Reward, $100.

The skin of the men and women of some nations is much thicker than that of others, particularly in hot countries. The Central African negro has a skin about half as thick again as that of a European. That of a negro is thickest over the head and back—evidently to form a protection from the sun. Birds Practice Surgery. From time to time birds have been discovered with broken limbs, which have apparently been bound up and set artificially. It'has been suggested that this has been done by the birds themselves. Wild geese have some times been shot having previous shot wounds stuffed with sea-grass. — Capacity of Adjutant Bird.

Benton Overreached in Eager ness to Make Point. During the first hearing of the fa mous Crocker will case in the su preme court, before Judge Lathrop and a jury, there were many inter esting and amusing tilts between the eminent counsel engaged in the case —Robert M. Morse for the contestants of the will, and Col. Joseph H. Ben ton, Jr., for the executors. Perhaps at no time during the hear ing, however, was there any better ex hibition of wit than in the summing up of counsel before the jury. At one point Col. Benton was trying to impress upon the jury that the ex pression “old fool,” alleged to have been used by one of the interested parties, might reasonably be construed as a term of endearment. “For example," explained Col. Ben ton, “King Lear called his fond daugh ter, ‘my dear pretty fool.’ ” Here he waited a moment to let the point sink into the minds of the jury. Judge Lathrop. however, w'ho had been listening with intense interest, leaned forward in his chair and dryly remarked: "But, Mr. Benton, King Lear was crazy, wasn’t he?” “Well, your honor, that’s a mooted question,” was all that the confused attorney could reply, and even this was almost smothered by the mirth ful outburst in the court room, in which the opposing counsel, Mr. Morse, joined most heartily. SENSE OF HEARING IN WHALES. Principal Guide for These Monsters of the Sea. It seems perfectly evident that whales must hear when in the water. This inference is confirmed by the comparatively small development of the other sense organs. The eye, for instance, is very small, and can be of little use even at the comparative ly small depths to which whales are now believed to descend. Again, the sense of smell, judging from the rudimentary conditions of the olfactory organs, must be in abey ance; and the whales have no sense organs comparable to the lateral line system of fishes. Consequently, it would seem that when below the sur face of the water they must depend chiefly upon the sense of hearing Probably this sense is so highly de veloped as to enable the animals, in the midst of the vibrations made by the screw-like movements of the tail, or flukes, to distinguish the sound (or the vibrations) made by the impact of water against rocks, even in a dead calm, and, in the case of piscivorous species, to recognize by the pulse in the water the presence of a shoal of fish. Failing this explanation, it is diffi cult to imagine how whales can find their way about in the semi-darkness and avoid collisions with rocks and rock-bound coasts.—London Field. Force of Habit. George W. Wallace, president of the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone com pany, and one of the best known resi dents of Salt Lake, tells this as his latest telephone story; In a certain Western central office one hello girl was always late in ar riving in the morning. Time and time again the manager pleaded with her to be more prompt. Her tardi ness continued until he was moved to desperate methods. “Now, Miss B-he said one morning as he came to her exchange with a package in his hands, “I have a little scheme which I hope will enable you to arrive at the office on time. Here is a fine alarm clock for you. Promise me that you will use it.” The young woman promised and ac cordingly set the alarm clock for the proper hour when she retired that night. At 7 o'clock the next morning there was a tremendous whirring from the alarm clock. The sleepy hello girl rolled over in bed and said sweetly; “ ‘Line busy, call again.' ” Willie Wanted His “Dad.” When Willie Simmonds of Mcln does, Vt., was about 18, his folks moved to Boston, leaving Willie in Mclndoes. After a while Willie de cided to join them, so started out alone for the big city. He had never been in the city be fore, and thought every one should know every one else, as in the town where he came from. Arriving in Boston, he was rather surprised at the greatness of everything and at the number of people on the streets. After looking around for a while, and not seeing any one that he knew, he finally saw a man in uniform whom he thought must be a very im portant person, and would certainly know his father. So he walked up to the surprised officer and asked: “Say, mister, have you see anything of dad around here?”—Boston Her ald. When Snow on the Sun-Dial Fade. When snow on the sun-dial falls. And the clinging leaves are numb, And bitter the marsh wind calls To river and songbird dumb; When the sheep draw close in the fold. And the biting mistrals blow. Then the heart, as a rosary told, Finds its love of the long ago. I make no count of the hour While the sun-dial stands in the snow; But the mind holds its hardy flower Where the arbor-vitaes grow. The waves no more return. Where the icebound currents flow; Still afresh does the hearth-brand burn With the wood of some long ago. As a carrier-dove through the skies Seeks the path which her message knew. So my heart, beloved, tries Its homing flight toward you! When snow on the sun-dial lies. And the heart and the year seem cold. As the carrier-pigeon flies I return to the love of old! —Minne Caroline Clark, in Munsey's Mag azine. Birthday i.i Doubt. Tom Pezzi, the genial old fish mar ket man of Green Harbor, and his famous sign on the roof of his market, "Tom Pezzi Forever,” are well known to the thousands of visitors to that summer resort, and also to many of the Brant Rock people, as are also his funny sayings. One day one of his customers ask ed him how old he was. Removing the clay pipe be habitually uses from his mouth, he thought for a moment, and then said: “Well, I was born In 1702 or 1802. and I'll be d—d If I know which.”—Boston Herald. ^—■ Sentence Sermon. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes absolutely content ed with the life he is living, and with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing—when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do some thing larger which he knows he was meant and made to do because he is a child of God.—Phillips Brooks.

While a Chicago man was carrying home two dozen eggs the other even ing he slipped and went to the side walk with the eggs under him. and when he arose he discovered that he had hatched out a combination of Italian sunset and circus poster. He swears that he will have the grocer's boy deliver the eggs the next time. Sensible Housekeepers will have Defiance Starch, not alone because they get one-third more for the same money, but also because of superior quality. Disraeli and the Dukes. Another Disraelian remin'seenoe oc curs.

J., who is a ™ graduate Nurse from the 1 Iilocklcy Training School, ’ at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon. Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent , to heed such advice from such a source. J Mrs. Pohlman writes: ^ “ I am firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia E. i'lnkham's | Vegetable Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to I use.” i “ Immediately after my ' marriage I found tint my health began to foil me.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, for I have found that it cures female ills, where all o'her medicine fails. It is a grand medicine for sick women.” Money cannot boy such testimony as I this—merit alone can produce such re sults, and the ablest specialists now agree that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound is the most univer sally successful remedy for all female diseases known to medicine. When women are troubled with ir regular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the female organs, that bearing down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debili ty, indigestion, and nervous prostra tion, or are beset w ith such symptoms as dizziness,faintness, lassitude, excita bility, irritability, nervousness, sle lessness, melancholy, “all-gone ” i “want-to-be-left-ali me” fee hr gs.
