‘MR. TURKEY" GOT REPRIEVE American Woman’* Re*pect for Age Led Her to Forego the Prospective Thanksgiving Feast. Miss H . the matron of a girls’ mission school on the Lsland of Kulsie, me of the Carolines, relate# this story: She had often told her Island -barges about the customs of her own native laud, and was highly pleased upon receiving in Invitation to a Thanksgiving dinner, to be held on a neighboring island and given by one .if her graduates, who hud proudly specified that roast turkey Would be >n the bill of fare. Miss H was delighted, and told her pupils so. Whereupon one of them arose and said: •‘lt gives me great pleasure to think of your coining joy, Miss U——, though It gives me pain, also, to think of losing Mr. Turkey from our midst. I have been accustomed to seeing that turkey on our Island for tnuny years, he being the only resident turkey we have there. But if In his ripe old age he is to be eaten. I'm sure. Miss H . Mr. Turkey would ruther be eaten by you than by any other person.” , Convinced that his death would be an undesirable sacrifice. Miss H sent her hostess word that she preferred seeing Mr. Turkey to eating him. < DIFFERENCES IN CAT FAMILY Physiological Reason Why Liens, and ‘ Others of the Tribe Are Unable to Purr. A Hon. srhile an acredited member of the family, cannot purr, however happy he may be when you stroke him, because the hyoid boue in his throat is loose. He has to roar. This is one of a number of interesting things discovered about the cat family recently by scientists at the London Zoo. R. I. Pocock. superintendent of -the zoo. explains that rtios. felidae or cat family that have an elastic ligament between the ceratohyal and the upper elements of the suspensorium (lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar) roar, but never purr, while | all the other species of the felidae. ' with normally constructed hyoids, purr, but never roar, and among these are j the cheetah and puma. The roars of the jaguar and leopard are like ‘‘hoarse, barking coughs, an interval of about one second sep- > arating the expiratory efforts,” says the observer. They may be easily re-1 produced or Imitated by sawing a piece of thin board with a coarse-toothed saw. The cheetah, however, calls with a decided mew, very much like that of. the cat. When Birds Fight. Sparrows are proverbially pugnacious. Sometimes a tree will be a sparrow battleground, and for ten minutes it will be as lively ns a dog tight On one occasion a flock of seagulls flying inland from the Channel, took possession of a newly sown field. Then a mob of rooks appeared, swooped down and drove the gulls off. The rooks posted sentries to watch that no invaders should steal in and « take spoil, and it was amusing to see these sentries hustling and bustling the gulls who ventured to return. From time immemorial a pair of carrion crows had hold undisputed sway at Gray’s Inn. and not a rook put in an appearance until the falling of the oaks on the Chesterfield prop- 1 erty at Mayfair. Then the invasion commenced, and the big crows were overmastered by numbers. Probably the finest fighter tn the world, quadruped or biped, ts the game-cock. He is a match for anything bis size in the world, probably, if he gets a fair field and no favor He is as quick as a flash of lightning. and his spurs are terrible weapons, quite as effective ns a pah of bayonets, and used much more scientifically and forcefully.—Answers. Correct Heat Records. Why does a weather bureau thermometer show lower temperatures in hot weather than the thermometer at the corner drug store? asks the Popular Science Monthly. When discrepan-| eies exist, they are due chiefly to the fact that the official thermometer Is installed in a wooden cage, where it Is open to the air, but screened from both direct sunshine and the heat re-, fleeted from surrounding buildings. Only under such conditions does a thermometer measure accurately the temperature of the air. A thermometer in the sunshine becomes much hotter than the air around it, and its reading simply tells us 1:..w hot the instrument is, not how hot the air is. In large cities the weather bureau thermometer is often installed on the roof of a high building, where ■ the temperatures differ somewhat from ■ those prevailing at the street level. The object sought in tills arrangement is to obtain a record of the natural temperature of the locality in general, rather than the artificial temperatures of the city. Had a Voice in the Matter.

Ever since Scheele, in 1775. discov- , ered that uric acid was present in the system, scientific men have been and it is the almost universal opin- ‘ ion of our best medcal men that the presence of uric acid in the system in excess is cause of rheumatism i and gout. When the unite salts are| piecipftated out of the blood into the solid tissue-structure the person suffers from gout or rheumatism in the! muscles and joints, or suffers front . nunhago and pain in the back muscles.
