It has often been P.rked how small and weak birds manage to fly such enormous distances when migrating. As a rule, however, small birds that have come vetry far across the sea have not flown, but have been blown over during violent gales, and many of. them arrive on land In- a half dead condition. Ia fair weather small birds make long journeys successfully over con elderable tracts of ocean, but the rea son is that they are carried on the backs of the larger ones. When pass-' ing an autumn in Crete a writer as serts that he distinctly heard the twit. tering of small birds when. flocks of sand cranes were passing overhead on their way to southera p other occasion .iIms t.es. - On an lg0e'd rwhen xring a gun, he iee small birds rise from the . -6ck and disappear again among the cranes. A native priest assured him that they came over from E~urope with them, while it has been found that small birds, never before seen in certain parts, have been brought thith er at times of migration. Another cause is that small birds do set make their journeys in one flight. T&hey generally rest during the day, searching for food, anid thus proceed t'o their destination by easy stages. THE PEARL WORKERS. A Detlilehemi Industry Which I. Five llundred1 Year. Old. The chief industry of Beothlehem of Judaea Is that of the mother-of-pearl workers. The shells are brought from the Rled sea and In the hands of native artisans are polished and carved, the larger into elaborate designs. The smaller are cut up for rosaries and crosses. The work is all done by hand, and the methods are amazingly primitive to a spectator from the home of steam and electric power. But the results are extraordi nary. The largest shell we saw was carved In scenes from the birth of Christ, the agony in the garden and the crucifixion, and had the general ef feet of delicate .frostwork. Under the magnifying glass every detail was seen to be perfect in outline and in finish. it was exucuted to order for a wealthy 'American and was to cost $160. About 150 people make a living by this industry, which is 500 years old. in the shops the workmen sit upon the floor, their benches in front of them. The air is full of whitish dust, and the - light admitted by the single window and the open door is so dim that the ezquisite tracery of the wrought shells is a mystery even before the visitor notes how few, simple and- crude are the instruments employed,.--Marion Harland in Lippincott's. * Lave's Grammaa.

THE CALM BAD MAN. He 10 More Dana-erous Than the One Who Blustern. The bad man of genuine sort rarely looked the part assigned to him in the popular imagination. The long haired blusterer, adorned with a dialect that never was spoken, serves very well in eastern fiction about the west, but that is not the real thing. The most duger ous man was apt to be quiet and smooth spoken. When an antagonist blustered and threatened, the most dangerous bad man only felt rising in his own soul, keen and stern, that strange exultation which often comes with combat for the man naturally brave. A western officer of established reputation once said to me while spmapa ing of a personal U " o flat 9.a o :% gnrlden-~," ard |&u4~n boil-.-ac uly Into whichl --$-leen forced: "I hadn't been in anything of that sort for years, and I wished I was out of it. Then I said to myself, 'Is it true that you are getting old and have lost your nerve?' Then all at once the old feeling came over me, and I was just like I used to be. I felt calim and happy, and I laughed a:ft or that. I ferked my gun and shoved it into his stomach. He put up his hands and apologised. 'I will give you a hundred dlollars now,' he said, 'if you will tell me where you got that gun.' I suppose I was a trifle quick for him."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch. HAIR AND BEARDS. Ther Have Played aIportant Parts In the world's Ifistory. In centuries past the human hair played an important part in all judieial proceedings. Those that were permit ted to wear beard and hair had rights that could not be claimed by the shorn and shaved. When men made oath they touched their beard and hair, and women placed the finger tips of the right hand on their tresses. Servants were obliged to have their hair cut, and if a freedman went into] slavery he had to divest~ himself of his hirsute adornments. An adult adopted by foster parents was obliged to have his beard shaved, and the shaving or beard and hair was a punishment In dlicted on criminais.*The jurisprudence of our ancestors dealt with p~unishment "by skin and hair" Yfor small ofrenses and "by neck and 'hand" for greater crimes. There has always been more or less superstition about haIr. Great strength was implied by it, and wvizards and witches knew of concoctions of hair by which they poisoned enemies. Cat's hair was especially named in the cate gory of poisonous'hairs, and even at the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury, Paulus Zacchias, a famous phyal clan; writes of the virulent poison of the hair of cats, .a Among civilized people such superstei tious beliefs have gene out of existence, and only Malaya give their enemies tiger hairs' in broth to kill them.

St. Swithin, bishop of Winchester, ac cording to the author of "The Popular Antiquitles," was "a man equally not ed for uprightness and humility. So far did he carry the latter virtue that )n his deathbed' he requested to be burIed not within the church, but out ide the churchyard on the north of the iacred building, where his corpse might ecoivo the eaveedroppings fronu .tb, ,oof and his grave be 1i A!.V 'eet of p)ass(brsli - -nby the His lowly request aO complied with, and in this neglect ed spot his remains reposed till about 100 years afterward, when a fit of pious indignation seized the clergy at the fact that the body of so holy a [nember of their order was allowed to accupy such a position, and on an ap p;ointed day they all assembled to con rey it with great pomp to the adjoin ing cathedral of Winchester. When they were about to commence thme cere nony a heavy raia burst forth andi con tinued without intermission for the ~orty succeeding days.

In the Sarawak Gazette is an article on the snakes of thait pairt of Borneo. Of the p)oisonous reptiles It says: "The cobra (Naja tripudlans) Is a black snake which raises Its head to strike when irritated, at the same time ex panding the hood at either elde of the neck. It spits at intruders and hisses like a cat, whence it Is knowni asi "ular tedonig puss;" ini some parts,. too, as "todonig miaita hart." The word '"te dong" in Sarawak is apparently ap plied to all large snakes which Malaysj consider to be poisonous1, and, as our Malays are but til actiuainted with these animals, quite a number of large but harmiless forms are diesignated1 by this term. The lhamadryad (Naja bun garus) is a brown snake, considerably bigger but rarer than the cobra. It is rather shy, but when cornered, like the cobra, It raises its head and ex pands the hood before striking. Its food is chiefly other snakes. "Less dlangerous than these najas are the vipers, of which the' most common species is the green viper, which reaches a length of two feet or more. Tfhe head Is large and shaped like an ace of spades. This creature Is a tree snake and very sluggish. Th~e 'bungarus' are of several species, one, Bungarus fasciatus, of lenigth up to four feet, being black with yellow rings. It Is called the 'iular bukcu tebu' (sugar cane joints) by natives. There are also sea snakes of many species. The tail of a sea snake is flattened and oarllke." Sarawvak has other snakes: "Of the pythons there are two species. Py then reticulatujs grows to an enor alous size, over twenty feet. -'It is' very fond of pigs, but varies its diet by various animals, Including even thiidren. The oil of this snake Is used by Malays as an emnbrocationi for bruises. The o'ther species of python, [Python curtus, is interestIng In that' Its flesh tastes like that of fowl-at least, so Dyaks say, and thmey are au thoritles on snake flesh, for they eat a number of the large snakes."

The curious little animals known as flying. lizards (Draco vola-ns) are only found in~ Java, and their strange ap pearance is supposed to have been the origin of the dragon of the medlaeval eastern imagination. The reptile is like an ordinary lizard, but is provided with folds eof extensible skin which are spread out by the long ribs and enable the animal to glide through the air from tree to tree in pursuit of the insects on which It preys. When lying prone on the mottled surface of a bough, It is an excellent exmulel or "protective re semblance," as It is most diffcult to be seen unless It moves. Hie Made sure.
