A man in the Sing Sing death house, sentenced to die next month, hangs himself. ( Doctors work over him for hours, trying to bring him back to life. The interesting feature of this death in the death house is the violent effort to resusitate the man after he had sirangled himself. The law said he. must die, why not let him die? What do the higher powers above think of the corpses that we send up from the gallows, electric chairs and lethal chambers ? How much better does our civilization seem up there than that of the ancient Mexi cans that ripped out the heart of a living human sacrifice, offering that as a welcome gift to their gods? How do our gifts to the goddess of justice impress real justice? ^ The Blue Jay is one of our most common beautiful birds. Its entire length of eleven and a half inches is covered with bright blue above, which gradually merges into a sooty white on the breast. The wing coverts and tail feathers are tipped with white. This, combined with the par allel bars of black on the wings and tail, and the black crescent extending over the breast from a positioif be hind each eye, gives the Blue Jay a very handsome appearance. The nest of the Blue Jay, which is made of stout interlocking twigs lined with small rootlets, is usually built in the fork of a tree from twenty to thirty feet above the ground. These '“structures often stand as a tribute to the Jay’s architectural ability for years after having been deserted, in spite of weather conditions. Pines are usually preferred to other trees by Blue Jays for nesting purposes as the bunches of pine cones and need les make discovery difficult. Four olive green eggs, thickly spotted with a darker color, are laid during April and are carefully watched over by the The French army has tested and approved a new stabilizing device for airplanes, without the use of a gyro scope. That means one step nearer to absolute safe flying, safer than any mode of travel on land. Ten to twenty years should see the end of long distance rail travel and of ocean surface travel. Wise real estate investors will make their plans with the flying machine in mind. parent birds whose patience is re warded in May by the appearance of the young. The Jay, usually so noisy at other times of the year, becomes very seclusive and quiet during the spring, when in the vicinity oi its nest, a The active ways and various loud cries of the Blue Jays are too well known to need description. His fami liar form is to be seen anywhere and at any time prying into, everything of interest and announcing his discover ies in loud and unrestrained bird language. The Jay’s chief outdoor sport seems to be in chasing owls whenever one can be found. The owl is at a disadvantage because of the small size and great activity of his opponents who realize their safety and therefore enjoy themselves to the fullest. Some bird-lovers look with disfavor on the Blue Jay because of his nest robbing habits. When the nesting sea son is at its height, the Jay frequent ly plunders the nests of smaller birds and causes considerable damage among birds much more useful than himself. However, the Blue Jay has enough redeeming qualities to place him on the list of good bird citizens. It is estimated that three-fourths of the Blue Jay’s annual food consists of acorns, chestnuts, and beechnuts, combined with a small amount of waste corn. A large part of the re maining portion of his diet is com posed of injurious insects, while only a small per cent consists of the eggs and ytmng of other birds; thus prov ing that though the Blue Jay is not an absolute necessity, he is of service and adds beauty to Nature.

SADLER - OWENS PHARMACY AT UNION STATION TEL. 400 IT HAS LASTED Clinton People Most Believe Such Convincing Testimony Aa Mrs. Garner’s. No”bnb in Clinton who suffers back ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic pains, or distressing urinary ills can afford jto ignore this twice-told story of a Clinton resident. It is confirmed testimony, telling of lasting benefit from Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diure tic to the kidneys. It’s evidence that no man or woman in Clinton can doubt. Mrs. J. A. Garner, 29 Jefferson St., Clinton, savs: "I had dizxy spells and black specks came before my eyes. When I oent I could hardly straighten, as sharp pains shot through my back taking my breath. PIANOS for RENT O’DANIEL & REID I heard of some. They nearly Doan’s Pills and used cured me.” FOUR YEARS LATER, Mrs. Gar ner said: “Doan’s cured me of kidney trouble and best of all, the cure has lasted. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- £ ly ask for a kidney remedy—get loan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Gar ner Had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. WHAT DO P. S. JEANS The British worry because the na tional eyesight grows weaker. One hundred and fifty in every 1,000 lack good sight at the age of twenty and ten at the age of four. The human eye, like the teeth that nature gave us, is defective, a poorly made instrument. Our teeth cause suffering and death. Teeth better planned would not do that. Even our five-fingered hands, would have been much improved by adding one finger. With that extra finger we should use in arithmetic the superior duodecimal system, instead of the inferior deci mal system, and we could play string ed instruments of a higher, m<^e com plicated kind. Floyd Collin’s suffering is over. This man’s death illustrates the pow er and the weakness of human imagi nation. A hundred men risked their lives to save his. Doctors went to his rescue by flying machine, but could do nothing. The entire nation fol lowed closely the tragic story. Imagination showed the man lyiiflg in the low cave, his leg crushed by the 14,000-pound rock, existing day after day for nearly two weeks in horrible agony and discomfort. It was possible to imagine clearly that dreadful situation. And the na tion sympathized. Any legislature would gladly have voted $100,000 to save Collins. The same nation, through its legis latures, refuses to pass the Child La bor amendment that*would free tens of thousands of children from years of slow torment. The feeble public imagination can not see clearly those children in the mills. The Prince of Wales, whom Ameri cans recently made very welcome, is interested in a plan to send British students to this country. That is common sense as well as a pleasant compliment. The Rhodes scolarship system, that now sends American boys to British universities, will be reversed in the new plan. The way to establish peace is to increase’ intelligence. When nations know each other, they will compete instead of fighting. There is disappointment because the British Church can’t find a way to make a saint of Florence Nightingale, and supply her with a halo. The answer to that is that Florence Nightingale is a saint already, and needs no halo. When she went to Scutari with her group of devoted nurses, to save from needless death, the wounded men in the Crimea, sticking at her work, al though prostrated with fever, she made herself a saint. Nothing that the Archbishop of Canterbury might do would make her saintliness more genuine than it is.
