Visitors Find Ready
It is a common habit of American owns to erect a colossal “Welcome” sign by the railway stations for the information of tourists. In England and also im America, hundreds of homes have inscribed the magic word on the doormat, where of course, the visitor wipes his boots. In Denmark, however, there are no electric signs to bld you welcome, and no house *says It with doormats,” but I venture to say that there I 8 not g town or village in the country, where it Is not written on the face of every blue-eyed Dane that you meet. From modern Esbjerg to ancient Elsinore, from Frederikshavn to Moen, every face seems to say, “We are glad to see you (n our country.” And what a country {t Is, in which to take pleasure in such @ welcome! Surrounded by the Sea on nearly all sides, a kingdom of islands, lakes and woods. From the shelving dunes of Jutland to the rugged cliffs of Bornholm, wood-en-circled fjords and romance-encrusted castles provide a welcome whose sincerity can never be doubted.—From “My European Excursions,” by Edwin Robert Petrie. 3
Declare Birds Are ) Insensible to Color Bavarian scientists claim to have made certain the fact that birds cannot see color, are not affected by it; in fact, any color is good with the birds, even those of bright and gay plumage having no appreclation of the fact that they are better dressed than others. Even the gorgeous display of the male peacock brings no sensation of beautiful colors to the eyes of other birds about. ; i The test with birds’ eyes show, the scientists assert, that birds do not look at things as human beings do, that all flying birds by day see everything in a bright, red orange light and are only sensitive in a slight way to the short waves of light that make blue and violet visible. Night-flying birds are less sensitive to colors than those that make their flight by day, the eyes of all birds being screened from intense light by tiny globules of oil in the retina of the eye that act as color screens. The Bavarian scientists say the Darwin idea, that beautiful plumage of birds is a factor in the selection of mates, is merely a fanciful theory, poetic: and interesting but lacking scientific support. ' ;
One day an English physician, who loved growing green things, found on the island of Trinidad a few tiny grasslike plants in a ribbon canefield. The Englishman, delighted that he had caught nature napping and found out one of her secrets, took the little plants to his home garden, and in due time he discovered:that he had several fine new varieties of sugar cane. One of these new varieties was carried to Hawaii, where # multiplied and produced a new race of sugar cane that will grow on poer land. In a handful of years Cuba fairly won the nickname, “The Sugar Bowl of the World.,” So great is the demand for Cuban cane sugar that she has never been able to satisty her eager buyers.—Marian Benton Ballard, in St. Nicholas. . :
The pubnctuation marks have personality. The period is imperative. It says ‘“‘Stop here!” The eomma i 8 a free al_id easy little chap. He says “Slow up a bit, get your breath, and then t¥ot along.” The colam calls, “Oh, look what’s coming-—get ready!” Quotation marks give notise that the writer is letting some one elso do the talking for a while. Paremtheses mark the side paths when we leave the maln line for a detous. Asterisks fash the message: “Wefre skipping something.” The hyphem is a notice of partoership; sort of a typographical wedding ring.—lnland Pwnter:
Courage is from first o last a victory achieved -over ong of the most powertul emotions of human nature. . . . It may fajply be questioned if any human belng is naturally courageous. Many are naturally pugnaclous, or irascible, or enthusiastic, and these passions when strongly exc¢ited may render them fnsensible to fear. But take away the conflicting emotions, and fear reasserts its dominion; consistent courage is always the effect of cultivation.=~John Stuart MiilL. :
“A man Is easy to read,” said Roberts to nobody in partleular as he and a few of his friends lounged in the window of the club one evening.

Nobody could answer until Roberts remarked: “She is the woman he didn’t help off the car.”
