In ar. elaborate and cos'ly work on
the dodo, published In London In
114, under the jatronai'o of Prince
Albert, is found the folluwfr.g quaint (
description of th'' dodo, taken from
Sir Thomas Herbert's journal of his j
visit to Mauritius In 1 020:
"The dolo comes 11: st to our de
F'rij.tior.. Here (and nowhere else
that ever I 'on Id see or h'-are ofi is
cer.era'ed the dodo 'a Por.usruUe

round and extremely fat, her slow pace
begets that corpuleneie; few of them
weigh lessi than fifty pound; better to
the eye than s'ornack; greasie.appt-
tltes may perhaps commend them,
but to the Indifferently curious,
nourishment but prove offensive.
"Let's take her picture; her visage
darts forth melancholy, . s sensible as
nature's injurle In framl g so great
and masslo u body to bo olrc-cted by
such small and compleinentall wings
as are unable to holse her from the
ground, serving only to prove her a
bird; which otherwise might be
doubted of; her head Is variously
drest, the one half hooded with
downy blackish feathers; the other
perfectly naked; of a whitish hue, as
If a transparent lawno had covered

part to the end, the colour Is a light

are eaaily digested In It; In that and
share not a little resembling the
Af.lc oestriches."
But one living Bpcclrnen of the
dodo was ever known to have been
etn outbids of Mauritius. This one
was brought alive to Europe by a
!ut'h navigator, and exhibited in
London in l;.'i9. The evidence of
this Is contained in a manuscript In
the British Museum by Hamoc L Es'
trance, and I" as follows:
"About 1C3S, as I walked London
streets, I saw the picture of a stranee j
fowle hong out upon a cloth and my- I
ife with one or two more then In 1
mpany went In to see it. It was
kept In a chamber, and w-as a ?reat j
fowle somewhat lUrer than the '
largest t irky cock, and so legged and
footed, but shorter and thicker and
of a more erect shape, coloured be
fore like the breast of a young cock
feFan, and on the back of dunn or
deare colour. The keeper called it a
do do, and In the ende of a chymney
In the chamber there lay a heape of
larze pebble s'or.es, whereof hee gave
it many In our sight, some as hicee as
nutmegs, and the keeper told us shee
tats them (conducing to digestion)."
A distinctly plaintive note in all
the literature extent concerning the
dodo excites curiosity and compas
sion. In his introduction to the dodo
book, from which these extracts are
taken, this feeling is appealel to by
the author as follows: "'e cannot
see without regret the extinction of
the last individual of any race of or
ganic beings whose progenitors col
or.iz'.d the preadami'e earth."
An analysis of the reason for a
specially compassionate interest In
i.e dodo vtould seem to show that It
!.- founded on the strikingly gro-te-quo
character of the bird, taken
with the fact that nature had been
cruelly unkind to her In the matter
of equipment for self-defense. She
could neither run nor fiy. but was, as
one traveler expressed It, "a speci
men of gigantic Immaturity, a per
manent nestling clothed with down
Instead of feathers, and with wings
and tall so short and feeble as to be
utterly unsubservient to flight."
Of this cruelty of nature the dodo
herself appeared to be sensible, and
to show It In "her visage," according
to the account of Sir Thomas Her
bert. At any rate, it made the ex
tinction of the dodo, after the dlscov
pry of the Island of Mauritius by the
Portuguese about 1505, 30 swift and
complete as to give it, to one inter-
ested. a flavor of tragedv. The last
of the fifteenth century and the be-
ginning of the sixteenth made an era
of geographical discovery, when every .
j R.a was filled with the barks of ex-
plorers and marauding buccaneers In
search of new worlds. To these ruth
less food hunters the dodo fell an
easy prey, while the domestic animals
which accompanied civilization wan
tonly devoured her eggs.
In the narrative of one of these ex-
plorers, William van Wert Zanen,
who visited Mauritius in 1602. he
speoks of killing fifty dodos and tak
ing them on board his ship, where
they were salted. Assailed thus, both
In front and rear, what wonder that
the dodo's visage "darted forth mel
ancholy," or that It gave up the un
equal struggle? The cut, here shown
accompanied Zanen's narrative, and
is supposed to be from a drawing
made by him.
The scanty relics of the dodo,
amounting to little more than frag
ments of a head, a leg and a foot, can
be found only in the treasured collec
tions of nations, while the paintings
made from life of this despised and
martyred bird by Iloelandt Savery
are beyond price. From Youth's

The Lake Skipper.
By RALPH D. PAINE.
There was a alt water ear.tala
who. for reasons of bis own, accepted
a bean aa first mate in a bin passen
ger steamer on the great lakeB. He
was a capable seafarln? man, but he
did not know what "bustle" meant
untiUhe went aboard at Eufalo. Tho
lake skipper to whiin he reported for
duty reri'Sikel la the most casual
manner:
"Just give her a coat of paint this
morning, and, if the sun stays hot
and she dries in good shape, give her
a se.'.ond coat this afternoon."
Tho salt water r.iate staegered la
his tracks and male anazed protest.
This was a COOO-ton vessel, and giv
ing 1 -.r two coats of paint was sev
eral .days' work by his- reckoning.
The lake skipper was a person of dis- j
comment, wherefore "he bad pity on i
his new mate and lore'ore to deal
harshly with him, explaining with a
tolerant grin:
"All rislit. I suppose you'll have
to learn to move lively after snoozing
around salt water all your life. You
Just pass that order along to the
fco'sn and tell him it's gat to be done,
and then you kit up and take no
tice
The bos'n took the order calmly,
as If it were in the day's work, and
by nightfall the big steamer was spick
and span with two coats of paint
from her water line to her guard rail.
The sailor from deep water had
learned his first lesson In the ways
of the great lakes during the naviga
tion season, when the hard-driven
shipping must be forced to do twelve
months' work In half a year. Ralph

A IIOISE OF CEMENT.
Hotv a Maine Man lias Made Himself
a Good Home.
In Belfast, Me., there is a house,
built by Frank Hoa?, believed by the
builder and citizens of that place to
be the only one of the kind on earth.
Aside from the blasting and dig
ging for the cellar, the bouse was
built by Mr. Hoas himself. The en
tire outside Is of cement, the mixing
of the component parts being under
taken after a long study of the sub
ject. Mr. Hcag finished the Inside
of the house first. This being done,
he lathed the whole outside with wire
screen stuff, such as is used for fenc
ing chicken pens. Thi3 was firmly
fastened. The studding was close,
and when the wire was on It gave a
rigid surface on Eides, ends aud the
Elopes of the roof.
Over this layer of wire he spread
a first coat of cement. It was well
pressed on, so that It ooied through
the meshes of the wire for a clinching
hold. When this first coating was
thoroughly set another and a heavier
one was spread over the surface.
Shingle effects were fashioned on the
gables and on the root the cement
was shaped and lined, to give an ap
pearance of slating. Then over the
whole outside was laid a finishing
veneer of cement paint.
The house is as tight as a bottle.
j 11 Impervious to heat or cold, or
i Ieak of raln: and, as lt3 foundation Is
a solid ledge, It can defy the frost to
wrestle with It. Mr. Hoag says the
cost of building was about tho sama
as wooden construction would have
been, but he says there will bo no
great number of repairs. Ec

Two "Green" reporters.
The Inexperienced reporter Is likely
i to have an undeveloped "news sense."
Every one will recall the story of the
Journalist who was sent to report a
fashionable wedding. Ho returned aa
hour or so later empty-handed. When,
asked what happened, he said. "Noth
ing at all; the groom didn't come." A'
writer la Llppineott's Magazine re
counts an Incident not dissimilar.
At a certain scnool or journal. is- i
part of the practical work Is to do
regular reporting. One time a stu
aent was sent in naste to cover a
railroad wreck at a town a few miles
away.
It grew to be almost time for the
paper to go to press, and still no word
from tbe young man on the assign'
ment. In desperation, the dean of the
school telegraphed to , ask why the
story was not forthcoming. The re
ply was:
"Too much excltenentl Walt till
things quiet down."
Her Red Hair Spoiled Elopement.
Her pretty red bair.and the. tele
phone proved the undoing -of four
teen-year-old Grace Smith, who with,
Calvin .Bodkins eloped from Batlx
County to Harrisonburg, whore they,
expected to take the train for Hagers
town.
The girl's father, John M. Smith,
telephoned Constable Revcrcoinb to
Intercept the lovers and hold them'
until his arrival. The constable rec
oguized the couplo by the girl's hair
and held them at Ills home until ber
pp.pa arrived. Bodklus, who Is eigh
teen years old, dented that they were,
the persons wanted, but Papa Smith
arrived within an hour and took his
daughter back to their Bath County
home, fifty miles away. Harrlsburg

TERRIBLE PICTURE
OF SUFFERS
A Terrible Picture of Suffering
Drawn by Mrs. McElroy ol
Clinton, Ky., Points
' Its Own Moral.
Clinton, Ky. "I was a surTcrcr for
six years from female troubles, t
could not eat and could not stand oa
my feet without suturing great pain.
"I tried three of the bc-t doctors is
the State of Kentucky and they sail
I was in a critical condition ar.d going
down hill.
"I had lost all hope cf ever being
better. I was so weak I had to b ;
helped up and down. I hal neuralgij,
dragging sensations and such awful
hurting, low down in my right side,
I could hardly bear it.
"After using Cardui, for one week,
I found I was getting belter, so
continued to take it ar.I in four
months time I felt better than I had
in six years.
"I advise all suffering women to
take Cardui. I got more bcnci.t from
$3 worth of Cardui than from SIM
worth of doctors' medicines."
The only way you can get the bene
fit of the genuine Cardui herbs, is by
buying a bottle of Cardui at your drug
gist's. He does not keep the crude,
drug, as it is not in the pharmacopoeia.l
Fifty years' of proof of i'.s mtrit,
in actual practice, has convinced us,
and those who have tested it, of the
value of Cardui in female weakness
and disease.
Why not test it for yoursclt?
