A VALUABLE BIRD.
TTi* Rough Logged Hewk la a Helpful
Friend on the Farm.
An extremely helpful friend of oura.
when bird friends are few, la tbe
rough legged hawk, saws a writer In
Farm and Fireside. Unfortunately this
bird la little known or valued. It
reaches the United States from Its
northern breeding range In Septembe*
and October, remaining until April.
It may be identified afield by its.
broad wings, its large size and tin
broad dark band which crosses iti
breast and under side of its v.iugs. It
is comparatively tame. The name
rough leg :rl or Lure footed is made
appropriate by tbe bird's full feathered
legs and feet.
The coloration of the American rough
leg and its more western subspecies,
the ferruginous rough leg, varies from
the h pe here described to almost soli<J
black. In this darker phase tbe rough
leg is commonly called tbe hluck hawk
On such good authority as that of Dr
A. K. Fisher, under whose direction
the U'uited States biological survey
made extensive Held observations of
this bird’s feeding habits, it is stated
“Tbe rough leg is one of man’s most
Important allies against meadow mice
feeding on little else during Its six
months’ sojourn in the United States,
Other mice, rabbits and grown squlr
rels are taken occasionally."
THE MAKING OF PAPER.
Thrift Wee the Order of the Day When
Only Rag 8tock Wee Ueed.
It was In the year 1807 that the first
wood pulp paper in the United States
was manufactured, and it would be
difficult to estimate the benefit this has
conferred npon the world, for it was
a step in the dissemination of knowl
edge, particularly current news. Just
as was the invention of movable types
and the printing press.
It will be remembered by many still
living with what care every nig was
saved to be converted into paper In the
days when only rag stock was used in
its manufacture and how the paper,
after it had served its purpose at the
printer's, was carefully put aside for
wrapping parcels. Those were days of
automatically Imposed thrift, which
were followed by disregard of econo
mies so widespread that already, after
only half a century, we are confronted
by a prospect of serious shortage of
supply of the new raw material.
Just as the supply of rags in the
sixties would not have sufficed for
growing needs, so it appears that soon
there will not be enough wood pulp to
go around. But we have grown so ac
customed to finding substitutes when
we had to have them that the world is
not alarmed.—Portland Oregonian.
Imprisoned In the Wind.
Butterflies may be Imprisoned and
uninjured in the midst of a whirlwind
Gales in a genuine typhoon are so ter
rible that the stoutest ships can scarce
ly hope to weather them, but there Is
a spot at the very center of the storm
where something Uke a dead calm pre
vails. From the outer edge of the dis
turbance, which may be 300 miles
across, the wind velocity increases to
ward the center until within a few
miles of that point there comes a sud
den lull There the rain ceases and
the sky often clears. In this little
calm area, which sailors call “the eye
of the storm,” a group of butterflies
has frequently been imprisoned, and
their dainty, delicate forms are as safe
In this aerial cage as if hovering in
sunny meadows, but as helpless as if in
a collector's bottle.
Soap Bubbles and Portraits.
Professor Boys of England, expert
men ting with bubbles, obtained some
very large ones, which In the sunshine
changed colors so beautifully that be
conceived the idea of using them as
backgrounds for photographs.
The large bubbles were blown with
an ordinary bellows, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The soap solution
was heated and a large mouthed fun
nel was dipped Into it. The bellows,
connected with the funnel, was then
worked very gently. Bubbles with as
great a circumference as two and a
half feet were easily obtained.
Bananas.
Bananas, if they are unripe, may be
used with advantage as a vegetable.
Out the fruit in halves, stew them for
twenty-tive minutes in just a little
water, drain, cover them with a cream
sauce such as you use for cauliflower
and serve them hot The ripe fruit is
a delicious garnish to meat. Cut round
slices from ripe, firm bananas, fry
them in butter and lay a few on the
top and around a broiled Bteak as It
goes to table.
He Was 8our*d.
“Have you ‘Love Letters of Wise
Men?’ ” she asked timidly.
"No. miss.” responded the clerk in
the book department.
“And why not?”
“Because wise men never write love
letters.”— London Telegraph.
How a Hotel Measures 8ucc*ss.
Most people are reasonable, but the
success of a hotel Is measured by the
manner in which it caters to the un
reasonable man. He’s sure to be about.

“I hear the cashier of your bank Is
very musical.”
“Not that 1 know of.”
“Try working off a false not* on
