Hummingbirds, Harmless, Should Be Preserved on Sentimental Grounds By F. E. L. BEAL Hummingbirds are popularly sup ; posed to live upon the nectar of flow i ers, and unquestionably this substance j forms an important part of their food. Close observation hns shown, however, I that these little birds do not visit flow ers wholly for the purpose of gather ing honey, nor do they obtain all their r—T l-V-M J ' ■ _ ' . . 1 UJI Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. food from flowers. The writer has ob served them hovering in front of a cobweb, picking off insects and per haps spiders entangied in the net. They have also been observed to eap ttire their food on the wing, like fly catchers. Stomach examination shows that a considerable part of their food consists of insects and spiders, with sometimes a little vegetable matter. Only one species of hummingbird inhabits the eastern part of the United States. This is the ruby-throat, which is more or less common almost everywhere in that region. The wri- i ter has seen 100 of these tiny crea- | tnres hovering about the flowers of a ! buckeye tree, and this number was 1 maintained all day and for many days, though the individuals were going and coming ali the time. In order to obtain definite knowl edge as to the food of hummingbirds in general, and the ruby-throat in par- I ticular, 59 stomachs of this species were examined. Although the hum mingbirds are the smallest of the avian race, their stomachs are mneb smaller in proportion to their bodies than those of other birds, while their livers are much larger. This would indicate these birds live to a consld erable extent upon concentrated sweets, as stated above, and that the insects, spiders, etc., found in the stomachs do not represent by any means all their food. The quantities of food found in these tiny stomachs are so minute and the insects com prising them are so small that identl- 1 fication is very diffien't and uneer tain. The food of the hurntningbird fam- j liy, it api>ears. possesses but little economic interest, and that little Is 1 mostly in the wrong direction. The ants eaten are probably largely parasitic species nnd so to he reck oned as useful, while The gnats and spiders may he considered as neutral, although It is possible that some of the former may be o? the gallgnat family and so be harmful. The hugs eaten are probably saintly of the in jurious species. Oc the other hand, hummingbirds do no aarm to any prod uct of husbandry anii, as they are beautiful and intere**t ng creatures, their preservation may well be urged on purely sentiment?! grounds. Why Not Move High Schools From City to the Country? It seems a strange thing, when nnc thinks of it: to send hoys and girls of twelve or fourteen away from their count-v surroundings to the city to attend school, where people tire more or less crowded together and there are go many temptations to spend j money. waste time and divert the mind ! from study. ,, How much more sensible It would he if high schools and grounds were in the country and the young folks of the cities were sent to get their edu cation where ttiey could learn some thing of rural conditions and means of livelihood. Instead of that, country t boys and girls often learn to prefer I pity trades and occupations. Just sup pose there was a well-equipped high | school right out in the country with : fields and woods surrounding it. There i eouid be cottages where nonresidents Eight board and gardens, poultry plants, orchards and small model farms I where students might pay their way j in part at least, if they chose, and ' learn other lessons than th-sse in hooka. There would he a domestic science course, especially adapted to country girls. Music, lectures, •••amps and worth while motion pictures w..uld not be forgotten. But no rows (if stores, beg ging for hard-earned money; no mov ies, that are simply dime novels put on screens, no slums to sadden the heart and scatter disease. Odd Names for Pickaninnies. A colored servant in Aiken, S.

So in the old town of Aiken there's a little pickaninny running around by the name of Carpathia Jackson. The oth er two grandchildren are Exima Jack son and Mutual Life Insurance Jack son. Fault-Finder's Folly, Be who seeks only for faults sees nothing else, and will be so fully con scious of the faults of others that he will be at fault himself. The Missing Coat-Tails l*HHWWW»»W WtHHWW Schoolboys usually stand by one an other and refuse to betray a eompnn- 1 ion who is in trouble. A well-known Instance of this occurred while Doc- I tor Vaughan was headmaster of Har- ! row. - Upturning one night from a din- ' nor party the master taught sight of a pupil who was taking a walk when, ! according to the rules, he ought to have been in bed. The moment the boy saw :.is master he fled as if for his life. Doctor Vaughan ran also in hot pursuit, and just managed to seize his pupil’s coat-tails. After a lively tussle the boy escaped, leaving one tail lc the master’s hands. It was a dark ni^ht. and the master had not recognized the pupil, of which he had not seen much more than the back. He made sure, however, that he would find out the culprit in the morning by means of the missing e«mr-tail. But when Doctor Vaughan entered the school he saw that every boy of the sixth form had only one tail to his coat! Thus the offender went unpun ished. i GOOD FOR HUNGRY CHILDREN Children love Skinners Macaroni and Spaghetti because of its delicious taste. It is good for them and you can give them all they want.

The most eminent physicians recog nize that uric acid stored up in the system is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric acid poison is present in the joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex perimenting and analysis at the In valids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo. N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called Anuric—which drives out the uric acid from the system, and in this way the pain, swelling and inflamma tion subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain Anuric at any drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid; or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg.
