This Is a serious subject, in spite of the laughing formula, and Sorosis owes it to the world at large to add full directions for the proper administration of the remedy. Rare Luxury of Table ‘““You would scarcely suppose,” sald ex- Mayor Frank Holland of Dallas, Tex., to a New York reporter ‘“‘that a bird that fat- tended itself on an insect which will blister your flesh almost as quickly as the burn- ing head of a parlor match would be such a table luxery, but there is such a bird, and compared with it your woodcock on toast is commonplace.

The Germans intend to open up Shan Tung with German money and German ma- terial. This is shown by the concession which the German government recently gave to the 8han Tung Rallroad company to construct roads from Kiao Chou bay to the coal mines. These roads will be about 280 miles long and will unite with the trunk lines from Shanghal to Tien Tsin by way of Chinkiang. The roads are to be of standard gauge and it is provided that all their materials, including iron tles and steel bridges, are to come from Germany. The syndicate has a capital of about $12,- 000,000. It has alread lald thirty miles of its roadbed and the tracks will be put down at once. FRANK G. CARPENTER. Talent Goes to the Front Twenty-two years ago Lindon Bates of Chicago was compelled through lack of funds to discontinue his course at the Shef- fleld Sclentific school and enter a rallroad office as a clerk. Then he went into the bullding of railroads, and in 1893, having secured the contract.to bulld two miles of the Chicago drainage canal, he constructed & hydraulic dredge which attracted the at- tention of engineers. Next he built a dredge for the United States government, to be used in the Mississippl river, which cut more tkan four times the amount of earth called for. Now the Volga river is being dredged by his machines, and under his supervision an outlet is being made thereby for the commerce of the Caspian sea. By request of the Russian director of com- merce he has Inspected the principal rivers and harbors, suggesting in his extended re- ports improvements that will double Rus- 'sian shipping facilities. He also has dredges to the value of $1,600,000 operating in the harbors and rivers of Queensland, Australia. The perplexing problem of the unnavi Hoog!l river was solved upon first investi- gation, and the harbor of Calcutta is being made one of the finest in the world by one of the Bates dredging fleets. Another dredge is preparing to sail for the harbor of Mac- quarie, Tasmania, where another large con- tract has been closed, and he has just closed a contract to dredge the Scheldt river for the city of Antwerp. The International Congress of Navigation at Paris this year awarded him a gold medal for his paper on ““The Navigation Interests of Natlons In Ports and Waterways, and Modern Means of Their Improvement,” and upon hydraulic engineering as applied to navigation he is ranked as the highest authority of his day. The Laugh Cure Cleveland Plain Dealer: New York's Sorosis has decided that laughter is the best remedy for indigestion. If one of the gentle members shows a dyspeptic temper hereafter it is to be hoped that the other members will remember the club's discovery and merrily laugh her back to a better humor. But alas! Sorosis doesn't go deep ubject. Let us have some facts and figures for our healthful guidance. If a titter will digest & berring, how loud ever heard of this bird, I guess, much less ever tasted one, but everyone knows Span ish fly. ““The bird is called the papabote, and folk who profess to be sharps on such things say 1t belongs to the plover family. It {s about the size of the woodcock, with a sober gray plumage and a short, hard bill. The coming of the Spanish fly upon the follage in the localities it frequents is sudden and mysteri- ous. No one knows whence it comes or whither it goes. It disappears as mysteri- ously as it comes. It 18 a most destructive insect, coming in countless myriads, and eats ravenously of growing things. But the papa- bote comes with it, stays until the fly dis- appears and consumes millions of the pest. The birds grow so fat on this corrosive in- sect that they become literally balls covered with feathers. When they fall before the hunter they burst open like overripe fruit. “The hunter who goes out with dog and gun expecting to fill his bag with papabotes after the methods of the scientific hunter will return without any, The papabote is the shyest of birds and can be approached within gunshot in only one way, for, unlike all known birds, it will not crouch to the dog It 1s heavy of wing, keen of sight and hear- ing and rises long before the hunter is in range, resembling in this respect your com- mon meadow lark. It can be shot in no really sportsmanlike way, and only by using a horse and wagon. The bird will permit o horse to walk quite close to it, and the hunt- ers take advantage of this and in open bug- gles and spring wagons ride about among the feeding grounds and drop the birds as they rise on every side in easy range. ‘“The papabote is considered so much of a delicacy in Texas and Loulsiana that small armies of men and boys make it highly prof- itable shooting the birds for market during its season. There is mot a case on record, 80 it is asserted, of a person once eating of the Spanish-fly-fattened papabote who did not have an unconquerable desire for more." Wants Japanese Brother A San Franclsco man tells a story con- cerning a xmall female relative. The little girl In question one day confidentially in- formed her mother that she shortly ex- pected the advent of a small baby brothe: in the house. ‘“What makes you think so?” she inquired as soon as she recovered her breath. ‘“Well, you know, I've been telling the storks in the park every day for two weeks that I wanted a baby brother. Sadle Smith did that, and now she bas littla Bllly Smith to play with, and I think the storks will bring me a brother, too."” “‘But,” Interposed her mother, ‘‘those are Japanese storks. Aren't you afraid that they may bring you a little Japanese baby brother?" “That would be splendid, wouldn't t?’ cried the tot, clapping her hands, but hardly accepting the suggestion in the manner it had been intended that she should. “He could wash the windows then, couldn't he?” HAZLEWOOD—“World's finest butter'— from pure pasteurised cream.
