The white stork of the continent of Europe, which Is encouraged In most, and even protected In some, of the countries to which It resorts to breed, and round which much story and leg end hiive gathered, hns been known for centuries to be nn occasional vis itor to the lirltish Isles, chiefly to Nor folk, but very rarely to Scotland, though it hns never been known to nest or even attempt to do so in llrlt 11 In. However, a record of Its having nested In Scotland appears In Good nil's edition of the "Schotehchonleon." This work was begun by John For dun. who died about 13S4, and was continued by Walter Hower, the abbot of Inchcolm. It Is In P.ower's chron icles for Hid Unit the story appears. The translation runs thus: "In the year of our Lord, four teen hundred and sixteen, there died on the morrow of (lie birth of St. John the linptist, Master James liiset, prior of St. Andrew's. In this same year, a pair of storks raine to Scotland and nested on top of the church of St. (illes of Edinburgh and dwelt there throughout a season of the year; but to what place they flew away thereaf ter no one knows." Commenting on this), Lord Lngle ( ' li ke says : "The church of St. Giles, on which the storks nested, was a new stoi:o ediftVc commenced In 1IW, to re place a f (inner church destroyed Id l.'SSo, mid siuiie of It doubtless forms part of tlta eiuhcdrai of today." Mar:: Twiln on Conscience. There Is mi record a conversation that Mark Twain hnd with Kipling. In which the former discoursed on the conscience. The story Is told by Kip ling. He reports Twain as saying: "A conscience Is like a child. If you pet It and play with It and let It have everything that It wants It becomes spoiled and Intrudes on all your amuse ments and most of your griefs. Treat your conscience as you would treat anything else. When it rebels spank It he severe with It, prevent Its coin ing to play with you at all hours, and you will secure a good conscience; that Is to say, a properly trained one. A spoiled one alinply destroys the pleasures of life. I think that I have reduced mine to order. At least I have not heard from It for some time. Per hnps I have killed It from severity. It's wrong to kill a child, bnt In spite of all I have said a conscience differs from a child in many ways. Perhaps it's best when it is dead." Ingenious "Fake" Pistol. A French Inventor hns recently placed on the market a "fake" pistol. This weapon, although In reality ah BcHutely harmless, goes off w Ith a very realistic crack when the trigger Is pulled. It also makes a blinding Lush calculated to scare any burglHr. Inventions of an even more compli cated nature are constantly being henrd of. A well-to-do gentleman liv ing In Surrey hns recently had his house and grounds fitted w Ith an elab rate burglar trap. With this device a midnight mnrauder cannot approach near the house without setting a num ber of electric bells within a-ringing And should the burglar not hear them nnd actually enter the building he would be caught In a vise by one of the many steel contraptions cunningly placed about London Tit-Hits. Second Thoughts. Sirs. Justw-ed When I mnrrled I re solved to yield to my husband la every thing. Mr j. langwed So did I. Aid theo . resolved never to act on tint rso otlon. Isn't it pure extravagance to feed j our cattle hay, worth from $30 up the ton, when cotton seed hulls can be bought from $16 to $1S the ton? It doesn't matter if you did raise your own hay. You should determine the cost of it as feed for your cattle by the current market price. J By selling your hay and buying hulls you save $12 on the ton, which goes to your pocket, and hulls are about as good as any hay raised in this section, too. Had you thought of it? Southern Cotton Oil Co. W.Z. FAULKNER, Mgr. MONROE, N. C. Intelligent Horses. The anecdote about Old Jack, a self-reliant horse, which appeared In a recent issue of The Companion, re minds a contributor of a horse called Old Kit, which Dr. L. O. ltogers of Newton, Iowa, owned years ago. Kit hud a flery disposition, he writes, and generally went as fast as she could go. Because she would not walk downhill, the doctor never let a wom an drive her, but one day just as he was starting downhill the holdback st rap broke. He expected that Kit would run away and smash up the carriage, and possibly kill him; but the sagacious animal stopped and al lowed the carriage to run forward gninst her legs, while she stood and held it for the doctor to repair the break. He decided then that women could drive Kit safely. The doctor generally drove down town lo his or lice and left Kit in an alley without hitching her. One cold day. when he came out, she was gone. Hurrying home, he found her stand ing by the stable back of the house. He looked at her a moment, and then paid, "Why, Kit, what are you doing here?" She turned about and went back downtown to the allev back of the office, and never again deserted her post. Another Old Kit was owned by a Mr. Digelow, if my memory fails nor, who lived near Phelps, New York. Whenever be went out of town he would drive Kit to the station and fasten (he lines and then tell her to go home. This she always did with out mishap. At the church steps he would throw the blanket on her and tell her to go to her stall. Off she would go and remain in her stall un til he called her at the close of the service, w hen she would back out and return lo the steps. "Phantom limbs," formed the sub ject of some interesting studies by the late Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. Nearly everybody who has lost a limb or part of one has, at one time or another, the impression that the lost member is still there. Moreover, the impres sion can be stronly revived by the application of an elecjric current lo the stump. Orien only the hand or foot seems to be present, without the intervening part. The subject has a distinct Impression of the position of these members and of being able to move them. In many cases, after amputation of a limb, the band or foot seems gradually to get nearer the body, until finally it seems to be in contact with the trunk, or even Inside it. Severe pain, itching and other sensations are refquently felt in the nonexistent members. One person, mentioned by Doctor Mitchell, for nearly a year tried at every meal to pick up his fork with a missing hand, and was made quite ill by the nervous effects of his failure.
