MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKENS. FIND THE GRAY QUEUE, Pose Observer Has. Never Found a Chi- naman With Oae. Regarded by Sailors to be Birds of Good Omen—Public Reprimand, How timidly on my first voyage did I ask the mate, a big, gruff Norwegian, what those pretty little biras Were. How could I tel Ithat 1 was committing, te, seri- ous breach of etiquette? He replied very gruffly and unintelligibly, "Stern Fitter." I ventured to say "What V' and was at elm bidden to "shut up" and look out for myself, as if he had been insulted by my not mulerstanding him. I took the hint and asked no euore, nor did I learn that "these little birds" were stormy petrels for a very long time, although like other sailors, I of course knew them as Mother Carey's chickene.. But they were always a source of never-ending de- light to inewhilo at sett, and of wonder too, for I could not hely feeling that they had indeed solved the great problem of perpetual motion; never needing or de- siring rest apparently, and always stick- ing to the ship to which they had. taken a fancy in calm or storm, whether fly- ing before a gale or stagnation through many days of windlessnesss, as was com- mon with the old sailing ships. I was glad to see how the sailors generally re- garded them as birds of good omen, and in nowise to be meddled. with. Indeed, in my day not a few seamen really looked upon them as the spirits of departed sailors, who never weary, flitted over the bright pure sea eternally. But then" many seamen thus regarded the albatros also, yet I never saw the same sincere reluctance to do them harm as was always evinced towards the stormy petrel. Once I saw a man, a sec- ond mate, wearying for something to do, catch one of the pretty creatures by means of a thickly -tarred roping twine attached to a bait of pork, which was hooked on to the end of a fishing line. The little bird, fluttering over the meat and continually touching the water with its feet, as is its wont, got them entangl- ed in the sticky twine ,and 'was hauled in, all bedaggledeits bright vivacity gone and presently lay panting and helpless in the grip of its silly tormentor. Fortu- nately the captain, coming on deck at an opportune moment, saw the shameful deed, and gave that second mate such a wigging as I hope did him good.

'"HOLY" RAILROAD IN CANADA. It Runs Twenty Miles From Ste. Anne De Beaupre to Quebec. (New York Time.) In these days, when railwa.ys ate run more for what there is in them for a favored few than for the accommodation of the genera: public, it may be interest- ing to recall the feet that thee is right here in North America a "holy railroad." This is a little line 22 miles long, from Quebec to Ste Anne De Beaupre. It is sacred because it claims to run "espec- ially for the accommodation of pilgrims" and, above all, because at its opening a fe.w years since it was formally blessed with all its belongings by Cardinal Tas- chereau. Every Sunday the trains are. crowded by devotees in search of the blessing of the good Saint Anne, who is credited with the miraculous power of healing, and. on July 26 Saint Anne's day, the road cannot accommodate the enormous crowds which flock to her shrine. Think of riding on a holy railroad! But those •who have traveled on it know that they must not expect the comforts of paradise. It may be called "holy," but it seems to be run, none the iess, with an eye to dividends. The charges are high and the service poor. JUSTIFIED IN WHAT HE SLY8 Why J. J.

To the minority stockholders of the Hamilton, Grimsby & Beamsville Elec. tric Railway, who have objected to the method of the transfer of that concern to Grand Trunk control, a paragraph from the Wall Street Journal will be of interest. It deals with the rights of min- ority shareholders. The paragraph, in question leads: The decision by Justice Greenbaum, of the Supreme Court in the suit of Walter S. Johnstme against the Norfolk & Southern Railway contained the fol- lowing clause: "The courts will not enjoin the carry- ing out of a business policy conceived in good faith, even though it may be probable that such policy will prove to have been unwise, but, if it is apparene that the scheme of the majority of the stockholders is founded upon a plan to oppress the minority of the stockholders or to operate as a fraud upon their, and not to further the interests of the corporation, but to accomplish unfair advantages and benefits to those in con- trol, then the Court of Equity will promptly use its dower to restrain the accomplishment of such iniquity." This decision was notable as being an action by a court of law te prevent the carrying out of a business policy adopt- ed by men in control of a corporation, but which was opposed by a minority of the stockholders. * * * The only ef- fective protection for minority stock- holders is in publicity.

The feats of which the Japanese rick- shawmen are capable are almost incredi- ble. I remember some years ago being driven ashore in the Inland Sea during a 1.3 pig on. It was far beyond the treaty limits which then existed, and foreigners were not allowed to travel outside those limits without special passports. But the mayor of the nearest fishing village was kindness itself.. He promised to sup- ply the best rickehawmen which the neighborhood could produce, so as to take us to a railway station some forty miles away. And he kept his word, for the dis- tance was covered in les sthien six hours including a halt for refreshments. Eacli rickshaw was drawn by two men, tan- dem wise, the usual fashion when long distances have to be covered. The lead- ers in each went through the whole dis- tance, while the wheelers, so to speak, were changed half way. The road was over a great part of the distance little better than a mountain track, and it was raining most of the time, but there was never a break in our progress ex- cept to alley the coolies to take off or pet On their clothes, They prefer twi- ning in nothing but a loincloth, and do so whenever they get safely beyond the eye of the.p.olice, who have orders strict- ly to administer the law against nudity. The fare paid for this prolonged jour- ney was. if reinerriber rightly, about three shillings for each rickshaw, the extra shilling being a gratuity thrown cin for good service, know that it purchased so many blessings on my hon. orable head as cannot yet be quite ex- hausted. And having made our farewells at the railway station the coolies start- ed back at once for their village.—London Mail. The Sunlight way of wash- ing requires little or no rubbing.

If you hold your fist as tight as you can hoicl it for fifteen minutes, the fa- tigue you will feel when it relaxes is a clear proof of the energy you have been wasting, and, if the waste is so great in the use less tightening of a fist, it is still greater in t‘e extended and continuous contraction of brain and nerves in useless fears; and the enery saved through dropping the fears and their accompanying tension can bring in the same proportion a vigor un- known before—and, at the same time, afford protection against tee very things we feared. The fear of taking cold is so strong in many people that a draught of fresh air becomes a bugaboo to their con- tracted, sensitive nerves. Draughts are imagined as existing everywhere, and the contraction which' bninediately fol- lows the sensation of a draught is the beat means of preparing to catch a cold. Fear of accident keeps one in a con- stant state of unnecessary terror. To be willing that an accident Itsuodl hap- pen does not make it more likely to hap. pen, but it prevents our wasting energy by resistance, and keeps us quiet and free, so that if an emergency .of any kind arises, we are prepared to net promptly and calmly for the best. There are big and little nervous fears, and each and all can be met and conquered—thus bringing a freedom of life which cannot even be imagined by those cax.rying the burden of fear, more or less, throughout their lives,—Annie Payson Call, in Leslie% Monthly Maga- zine for —.gust.

While a young woman lay dying •at an hospital yesterday afternoon her hus- band, his brother and several women friends of the f amily were busy in the task of selecting a casket. At supper time., while the woman was still several hours from dying, this unusual mission had been completed. The casket had been selected and put in readiness to re- ceive the body as soon as death occur- red. The women who made up this unusual _party of shoppers buying burial goods before death ensued, also examined bur- ied robes at several undertakers', but did not eelect one. It is said that it was at the solicitation of the dying wo- man that the unusual haste was made. At one of the undertaking shops vis- ited the women agreed on one casket, but did not then take it, stating as it reason for waiting that they waled to make sure it would suit the dying wo- man.—Kansas City Journal.

The principle of the inodern engineer is to successively pass steam through as many contrivances as possible in order to extract the greatest amount of heat. There are many plants of modern con- struction, the writer having the refrig- erating ruachinery of a large brewery in mind, where the capacity has bean dou- bled by machinery which utilizes the exhaust steam of the old-thne refriger- ating engines. The heating plant of the new Savoy hotel, on the Strand, London, is an example of what can be done in this direction. The steam exhaust of the engines furnishing power for the electric lighting and elevator service is made to do all the heating of the building, this being the usual practice nowadays in of- fice buildings. The air circulated by the power fans in winter time is also heated by being made to pass over steam coils containing the .exhaust steam. Most of the cooking is also done by means of exhaust steam, including grillers, hot closets, coffee urns, hot milk urns and like the paradoxical satyr of the first reader, in addition to doing all the heat- ing of the establishment, the waste steam is also utilize:1 hi the refrigerat- ing plant. THE THIRD EYE. A horse, a bat, it mole, a monkey, a seal, all have a trace of the third eye, and when we put a finger on the "soft spot" of the head of a tiny baby, We realize the wonderful import of it—that the softness is due to a near approach of this same thirdeye to the surface, striving as it has done in BO many lower creatures to push its oor, lin. perfeet lens to where the light can act upon it. But the old ways have given place to new, and the child's blue eyes look Mit at you and the world and see all that it necessity for its life and iteed8. Wecan hardly imagine anything more terrible than the loss—of our eyesight, ithil yet there nee some creatures which have found life more pleasant in the darkness of caves end underground tunnels, or to roam only at night, when their eyes are useless, and by the leek of use these organs have degenerated to 'mere specks, and in some cases the *in has grown completely over them. Thus we find blind fishes and lizards in dark caves, and blind ants and moles alt but blind in their dark subterranean homes. Curtain bats, too, have but tiny dots for eyes, and depend eldefly upon their acute hearing and Annie sense by will& they can feel tho vibrations in the airtinakes have but poor eyesight, end light fish have no eyelids.

There is a young woman in Philadel- plea, who realizes a snug little,sum dur- ing the summer months by boarding birds for people who close up thew houses during the heated term and go into the country. The feathered pets must be eared for and the sum charged for looking after them is so small that the young caretaker has no trouble in getting all the birds she ean properly attend to. She Understands the habite of the little songsters thoroughly and knows exactly what to do for them in ease of minor ailments, having made a study of bird life.
