' BUILDS ITS NEST Peculiarity of South American Bird, Which la Much Sought After for Its Plumage. Cock of the Rock Is a remarkable bird of northern South America, so called from building its nest on rocks. It Is about the size of a large pigeon. The mule is utmost purely orange In plumage nnd has a remarkable flat sided crest. The female Is of a dull olive brown, and Is uncrested. The birds inhabit rocky water courses and bushy hillsides, where they remain close to, the ground and build their nests, largely of mud, on some rock. The males court the females by as sembling for "dances" In certain cleared spaces, each displaying its showy plumage by queer antics until chosen by some observant hen. Great numbers of the birds are killed annually, as their skins not only command a high price for mil linery purposes, but are much em ployed by the Indians in making a variety of beautiful decorations. They Never Condense Troubles. Troubles are best carried one at a time, each one as it comes. The small est sticks gathered in an increasing bundle become too heavy to lift. Are You Satisfied? IKwoKc.

I LITTLE HOP-SKIPPER By DOUGLAS MALLOCH T ITTLE HOP-SKIPPER come In through the gate. Up through the garden and over the lawn ; Little Hop-Skipper Is fearfully late Over an hour of the morning Is gone. There is so much for Hop-Skipper to do! Roses to smell of, and berries to find. All of the orchard for wandering through, Acres or daisies a garland to wind. Little Hop-Skipper goes skipping all day; Watching the swallows or wading the grass, Helping the fluffy, wee kitten to play Little Hop-Skipper's the busiest lass. But, when the shadows grow long by the wall, When the gray twilight brings child ish alarms, Then comes the happiest moment of Hop-Skipper creeps into my arms.

WALKER RESPONSIBILITY NOT until you have arrived at the place of life where you can show willingness and ability to shoulder re sponsibility will you be in a position to keep step with the noble men and women' who are moving steadily for ward toward success. You can never hope to get at the top by remaining at the bottom of the lad der In sulks. Nor can you rise from the low level where the complaining masses are without first making sacri fices and fitting yourself for the ascent, There must be within you superior skill, which you know, as well as those above and below you know, cannot be acquired except by tireless diligence and continuous effort in the right di rection. To dare responsibility without being properly equipped, both mentally and physically, is to make a hazardous ven ture with all the fates arrayed against you. To lead others you must be quallted to find your own way when the dark comes and the storms rage. You are not fit to assume respon slblllty of any sort until you have mas tered your own stubborn spirit, learned your lesson in patience, and practiced the principles set forth In the Golden Rule. , ' Tour first test In leadership will prove the truth of these words, In spite of an egotism you may have, or of any fancied power of excellence. Those who cannot accept orders from their superiors with becoming grace, who at every turn in their pathway pig-headedly dispute the right of au thority, who openly show disrespect of law and order, the things which gov ern everything from atom to sphere, can never hope successfully to assume responsibility or rise from the common level. If you will look into the causes of failure and discouragement, you will find that Ignorance, false pride, ob stinacy and selfishness were the fatal stumbling Mocks. These are the things which ambitious men and women must do their utmost to avoid, otherwise their progress will be retarded and they will be forever barred from a seat among the world's leaders, who assume responsibilities seriously, conscious of their own frail ties, but confident of their ability to hold steadfastly to the trae course In all kinds of weather.

This indicates a refined, sensitive nature, with a great dislike for anything that is coarse or unrefined. As a musician of either sex most pay attention to details, the fingers must be long In proportion to the rest of the hand. In the hands of many musicians th thumb, at its outer angle or Joint, is quite pointed. This is held to show a good Idea of time or rhythm. A sense of tune Is sometimes seen in a point or protuberance on the outside of th thumb, below the Joint The mount of Venus should be fairly strong and high, to show melody, and this characteristic is seen also In a good mount of Saturn at the base of tbe middle finger.

I THE BEST BOOK THE soft-toned clock on the library mantle Rrrurk twelve, and the little boy chasing a butterlly, nnd who lived in a frame, was Just stepping out of it to run on the broud shelf below, when he stopped, Someone was talking. It was the magic hour, but Little Boy had al ways been the only one who took ad vantage of It. He looked about the room no one was in sight. He must have been mistaken. But no, there It was again ! "I tell you I am the best book to read," said a voice. Little Boy looked at the books In the case that reached around the sides of the room. Yes, It was the books. They were quarreling. "I have a much handsomer binding than you. I am quite new, so of course I shall be the most popular." "You can never tell the worth of a book by binding," said an old book , "I Am 'Alice In Wonderland.'" with a worn cover as It slid out of the case a little way to be better heard. "I am the book that Is best loved. I am sure of that." "Oh, just hear that old book," said a bright new one leaning far out of the case. "Why, my dear old book, you are as old-fashioned as the hills. I have a story that makes people sit up all night to read." "Yes, and as false as Is your imita tion leather binding," said a real leather-covered book. "You are fic tion. Not a word of truth In you. Don't brag. 'What's in a Name?" By MILDRED MARSHALL Facts aieuf your noma; Hi hiiloryi nuanlngi whence It am tfVnW; ilfnlficancti pour lucky day and lucky Jtett FLORENCE FLORENCE, signifying flourishing, can scarcely be separated from Its quaint diminutive Flora, meuuing flowers. Flora In mythological legend was the goddess of the flowers, and the festlvuls of Flora or Floralla were celebrated In the first burst of spring. In later times, the name of Florus was formed from that of the goddess, and is memorable as that of the proc urator whose harshness drove the Jews to their last rebellion. It is be lieved that the feminine Flora came from this. There is a church at Florence of Saints Flore and Lucllla, but other wise the first Instance of the name Is In Roman-Gothic Spain, where the un happy daughter of Count Julian was called by the Spunlsh diminutive Florlnda, and thus caused the name to be so much detested that, while Span ish ballads call her La Cava the wicked, her Christian name was only bestowed on dogs. A Spanish maiden martyred by the Moors brought Flora Into better repute. It became Flore In France, where It was adopted as a romantic epithet, and from there It found Its way to Scotland. In the Gaelic, It Is spelled Florle, as the Island heroine of the '45 wrote herself. Florentla was a natural product, and named a feminine saint martyred In Diocletian's reign In Gaul. The prevalence of the name Flor ence, In England, seems to hnve been due to so many English girls being born In the Itallun city of that name. Deeper and dearer honor has been given to It by Florence Nightingale. Many flctitional heroines have borne the name and its derivatives. Blanche fleur, meaning white flower, is one of its forms, and was bestowed on Sir Trystan's mother. Versions, particularly romantic, are found with Ariosto's two heroines, Flordespina (thorn flower) and Flordlllzl (fleur de lys). Florence or Flora, used by the Irish peasantry, become Flngnan or Flncen. Florrle and Flossie and perhaps even Lora, are purely American diminu tives. The carnellan Is Florence's talls manlc gem. Its warm, bright color is said to dispel timidity and give cour age, vitality and animation. It like wise brings good luck to the bearer of the name. To dream of it, how ever, signifies Impending misfortune. Florence's lucky day Is Saturday, and 1 Is considered her lucky number. 1 (4J by Wkaalar Syndioata, I have facts, real true things from which people cun gain knowledge when they read. I am the most popular . book here, I am sure you will all agree." "Goodness, hear It talk," said a shrill voice und another book leaned out so far It tumbled on the floor, "Ha, ha," laughed the other book, "you are where you belong, on the floor. You are full of wise sayings, but so old no one ever looks at them ' these days. Every one knows them." Out from the case leaned a red book. "You seem to forget that people wish to be amused," It said, "and when they open my cover they begin to ; laugh. I am full of funny sayings and Jokes, so you all can stop your quar reling, for I am the most popular book here." Little Boy stood listening. He was afraid the books would all tumble out, they were so excited, when out from a book Jumped a little girl and, bow- . Ing to all the books, situ snltl, "I am ashamed of you I The Idea of uur rellng about which Is the most pop ular!" "Don't you know that thore are all sorts of people In the world and that they all like different books? If they didn't, there would be only one book and then where would you be, for you must know that grown-ups and chil dren all love to read about me." "It Is Alice," said the clock In a soft voice to Little Boy. Little Boy had never had a play mate; he began to smile. "Alice," he said, "do come and play with me. Per haps we can catch the butterfly." Alice turned around. "Oh, I can't" she replied. "Don't you know who I , am? I have to be In the story or there wouldn't be any. I am 'Alice In Wonderland.' Did you never hear the story?" "No ; tell It to me," said Little Boy. "I will have to go back Into the book," said Alice, "but If every one will be quiet I will tell the story." And all the books In the big case, knowing Alice told the truth, slid back Into their places. The clock ticked very softly while she told Little Boy her wonderful experiences. And every night after that at the magic hour Little Boy left his frame on the wall to listen to the story ot "Alice in Wonderland," for, just like all folks, big or little, he is never tired of hearing It. ( by MoClure Nawapaper Syndloata.) THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "BEDLAM" i"DEDLAM," the word by word J- v, which we now designate a hubbub, an excited crowd or an uproar, has been derived not from "Babel," as might be ex pected, but from "Bethlehem," the name of an insane asylum in London and formerly one of the most abominable torture-houses of the British capital. "Bethlehem" Itself dates back to 1247, when Simon Fltz-Mnry, a sheriff of London, founded a priory dedicated to St. Mary of Bethlehem, Everyone connected with this institution was com pelled to wear a black robe, with a single star on the breast, In memory of the star which guided the Magi to the stable at Bethle hem. Some three centuries latei a London tailor named Stephen Gennlngs offered to start a fund to purchase the House of Bethle hem and turn It Into a hospital for the Insane, but It was not until Henry VII made a gift of the house to the city of London that It became an InRane asylum. Owing to the fact that lunatics , were considered, at that time to be possessed by devils, Bethle hem was made a place of chains, manacles and stocks, while all manner of hideous tortures were devised to rout the evil spirits which haunted the bodies of the Jiving. During the Sixteenth century the place became so filthy and loathsome that no one would enter It and It fell Into de cay, to be renovated In 167.1, when a stone image of madness, carved In the likeness of one of Cromwell's doorkeepers, was placed on the outer wall. In the literature of the day we find that the name of the asylum is short ened, first to "Bethlem," then to "Bedlem" and finally changed to "Bedlam," In which form It re mains.
