corn Talent of Success The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well without a thought of fame If it comes at all it will come because It is deserved not because it is sought after It is very indiscreet and trou blesome ambition which cares so much about fame about what the world says of us as to be always looking in the faces of others for approval to be al ways anxious about the effect of what we do or say to be always shouting to hear the echoes of our own voices He Met It on the Road He didnt wait for prosperity to come The very minute they told him it was on the road he said Maybe the horsesll get stalled and the driver all froze up so Ill Just meet it halfway and help get the wheels out the mire and give it a fresh start then when it looks like smooth sailing Ill hop on and take a seat by the driver and well go whistling Into town Atlanta Constitution CAHE OF PAR0TS Tho Proper Way to Feed Cago and Teach the Birds As few people who own parrots real ly know how to care for thema few good rules may be of Interest As to their food it should be seeds canary hemp but uot too much mil let boiled maize linseed rape and the like Bread soaked in hot water is good given twice a day and fruit in moderation and in variety is whole some such as grapes apples and pears an occasional raisin and let tuce Gray parrots are very fond of rice and almost all parrots appreciate rice pudding and hve a taste too for bread and butler Meat is bad for them Clean fresh wood should be given them to gnaw bits of elm birch larch and chestnut Fresh dry gravel must be sprinkled at the bottom of the cage every day and fresh water be put in the glass It is Iiupirtiiit that parrots should have the opportunity to stand flat foot ed so if the cage has wires at the bottom it is well to remove them Al ways to have his claws claspiug a round perch is injurious to any bird and two perches of different size are advisable so that he may change his posture at will When a parrot continues to scream he wants water or food or feels ill and uncomfortable or maybe is mere ly dull Music which he loves will cheer him up at all times A parrot learns to talk only from one who speaks very slowly and dis tinctly to him and preferably when he Is about to fall asleep Last but not least a parrot should be carefully covered at night London Mail THE PYGMIES Curious Mode of Life of the Dwarfs of Rhodesia Of the pygmies of northwestern Rho desia a modern traveler writes The Patwa stand about four feet high and are long armed short legged and ugly being unusually prognathous The legs are disproportionately short the feet large and the body is covered witli a sort of down Both sexes af fect a state of complete nudity They have their own tougue but usually know a little of the language of their big neighbors No attempt is made to till the open forest glades They de pend for food on game and what they steal from the fields and plantations of the surrounding tribes Though there are seven different tribes of pygmies they appear to have no tribal organization It is the cus tom for a group of families to attach themselves to a negro chief and in re turn for food to assist him to fight his enemies The standard of morality of these little people is high and strange to say they are remarkably intelli gent The wild beasts living in this for est are killed for food even the ele phant Pitfalls suares and heavily weighted spears are used but their favorite way of hunting an elephant appears to be with bow and arrow Poisoned arrows are shot into him and the great beast is followed until he falls when the little hunters camp around the body and feast on the car cass until it is finished Catch -as-catch-can She gave him a playful pinch on the cheek New

later birthday anniver saries Senator Hoar wrote to William M Evarts and congratulated him upon his length of years In his reply the aged lawyer said it brought to mind an old lady in New England who had occasion to write to a friend about some matter of trifling importance and when she had reached the end of the thirteenth page awakened to the fact that she had been rather diffuse aud added

Goodwood race course is quite unique It is a long way from a sta tion and is not near any town says the London Tntler It is on a hill the top of which is shaped like a horseshoe the space between the two horns being represented by a deep ravine The course runt round the horseshoe the start bekig at tho end of one horn and the finish at the end of the other The result of this is that tha equestrians who on other courses contrive to see both start and finish by the simple process of riding across while the race is in progress cannot do so at Good wood They must elect which they will see and remain there On the other hand the course is very easy to follow with glasses The races as an institution are com paratively modern but there must have been hunt races and matches on this course since the days of William III when we hear of the Goodwood hunt as in existence In 1S00 how ever the then Duke of Richmond made a new which is practical ly the present one In 1S01 the course was completed and in order to cele brate this a regular meeting was got up by tho duke with the assistance of the hunt and some officers of the Sus sex militia and yeomanry and prizes to the value of about 1000 were put up This meant a good sum in those days This was the first Goodwood meeting of importance sud from that year it became an annual event Microscopic Measurement The measurement of microscopic ob jects is done by rulings on glass which are produced by wonderfully delicate machines These rulings are constructed so as to accurately divide an inch or any other unit of measure ment into any desired number of parts as for instance one one-hundredth of an inch or one one-thousandth of an inch or even one ten thousandth of an inch The finest rul ings thus far produced by any of the machines are at the rate of something like 200000 to the inch Some idea of the closeness of the ruled lines can be obtained from considering that a thou sand such lines would occupy only the space included m the thickness of a sheet of ordinary writing paper New York American An Old Family Sir Watkiu Williams Wynn talking to a friend about the antiquity of his family was told roughly that he
