sketch. On finishing his drawing he
of his paletot, and walked home to his
hotel. After dinner the album had dis
appeared; neither the host nor the
walters knew anything about it. Dore
went to bed furious. In the morning he
received parcel and an anonymous
letter to the following effect: ''Sir:
Knowing you would not sell your album,
I robbed you of it (that last sketch of
yours being quite irresistible); but in
order that you should not take me for a
common thief, beg your acceptance of

Dore opened the parcel. 1t contained a
cane with gold head incrusted with
precious stones-really a princely gift.

The Sarcastic Young Woman.

Insufferable though the giggling,
gushing girl may be, she is angelic when
compared with her sarcastic sister. The
sarcastic girl is, in some instances, the
product of hasty Or ill-advised compli-
ment paid her by some thoughtless ad-
mla,er on her making some spiteful criti-
cism or some rude remark concerning
an acquaintance or companion. She
has not the ability to distinguish be-
tween impudence and satire. and it is
an easy task TO convince her that bred
rudeness of speech is the perfection of
irony, and that to say spiteful and un-
pleasant things to every body she meets
is sure to win her the reputation of be-
ing sarcastic. She eagerly cultivates
ner fancied talent, not allowing an op-
portunity to exercise it to pass unim-
proved, and she generally succeeds in
making herself heartily disliked by
those who are unfortunate enough to be
numbered among her acquaintances.-
Young men who are generally sensitive
to ridicule avoid her systematically
She attributes this to the wholesome fear
in which she is held The family think
her brilliant when everyone else pro-
nounces her insulting. Her sarcasm
generally degenerates into insolence and
She is regarded as a pest. Without
friends she becomes lonely and dissatis-
fed, but is still far from guessing the
true reason of her forlorn state, for her
pretty vice has become second nature
and she cannot estimate its disegreeable
effect upon Others.

An Easv Way Ont of It.

Here is an Interesting account by DIR.
G. G. Abbot, of the cunning way in
which little bird rebuilt its nest in or
der to avoid Matching an intruder's egg,
"a pretty little tiy-catcher, which had
taken much pains to build her nest, wa
in trouble about her own pearly egg,
and through no fault of her own. An
impudent cow-bird ,NoloteruS pecoris of
naturalists), too lazy to make a nest for
herself, or TO look up an old one, or, in
deed, to hatch her own eggs, had slyly
dropped an egg in the fiy-catcher's nest,
and then gone off, quite Indifferent as to
what became of it.
''What the first thoughts of the fly
catcherwere when she saw the intrusive
egg, | am at loss to conjecture; but the
nest itself tells US that the bird was
not easily out witted, and also that the
conclusion it finally reached was, to
get rid of the noxious egg, by making
practically new nest out of the old one.
''Now this tiy-catcher, which ornithol-
ogists know as the white-eyed vireo
(Vtreo n0Ue60racenciS), builds rather
fragile, hanging nest, usually out of fine
twigs and strips of thin bark, all nicely
interlaced, but sometimes employing
also large pieces of newspaper. The
nest is suspended to the delicate twigs,
that grow on the very ends of long wavy
branches. To compensate, therefore,
for the considerable motion to which it
is subjected when the wind blows, the
nest is made very deep, and quite small
at the top. So deep is it, in fact. that
usually we can not detect the sittinr
bird, unless the nest is looked upon fro
Shove.
In the instance of the nest here de-
scribed, this great depth of the original
structure came nicely into play; for the
outcome of the bird s thoughts was that
TO build new floor to the nest, while It
would neeessitate leaving two of hel
own eggs unmatched, would place the
unwieldy egg of the interloper down in
the basement also, and would thus leave
her free to rear her own family, unmo-
Tested, on the next floor. This she cum
ningly accomplished by first placing a
stout twig just above the eggs, and then
Interviewing suitable soft materials with
the sides of the nest. allowing their
weight TO rest upon the twjg extending
from side to side and projecting beyond
them. - From Curious Items about
Birds" in So. Nicholas for May.

gymnastics in the United States,

Coming now to our own country. we
find by the year 1926 gymnastics taught
in a private school at Northampton,
Massachusetts. by q Professor Beck, who,
few years later published translation
If Jahn's system. The school seems 70
have attracted considerable attention,
but we can easily imagine how silly such
artificial exercise must have seemed to
those whose backs ached from their daily
work. Little prepared were our New
England parents TO understand that, by
this kind of exercise, backs and limbs
could be developed that would easily
carry burdens which unframed muscles
would groan under. This same ignor-
ance exists to-day. The majority still
believe that hard manual labor affords
better exercise than can any system OF
artificial gymnastics; whereas, instead
of the equally developed elastic body re-
sulting from gymnasium-training, we
have in the laborers a stiff-jointed,
clumsy, ill-proportioned body. In the
fifty years since the Introduction into
this country of systematic body-train-
ing, there, nevertheless, has been great
gain in the popular estimation of its ad-
vantages, as is shown by the almost
countless systems that have received
ephemeral patronage. Witness the in
Vulnerable pieces of gymnasium ap-
paratus that have been advertised, and
widely believed, to prevent or to cure
all manners of woes and ills. At one
time it is the spirom eter, which, if blown
into daily, will prevent consumption;
then it is patent kind of lifting-ma-
china hxyx hioI, loo, or,
lift ton; or rubber bands which delud-
ed purchaser would surely find it easier
to stretch as the rubber grew older.
This long list of nostrums it is impor-
tant for us to notice as in great measure
accounting for the distrust many intel
hgent people have of the whole subject
of gymnastics. In their ignorance they
have believed the quacks, and. having
suffered at least in purse, they are shy
of the subject in general. The fact is
plain that their distrust is because more
good has been claimed, and has been
temporarily believed, to result from the
use of one especial kind of exercise
than could reasonably be expected from
all kinds together. Honest efforts have
meantime been made to introduce svs-
tematic exercise Dio Lewis twenty
years ago carried on in Boston a normal
school of gymnastics. Several hundred
teachers were graduated, and for time
were in considerable demand. Later,
DIR. Lewis had great girls school in
Lexington, where, in Bloomer dress and
broad-soled boots, girls were certainly
taught to walk long distances. The new
system, as he called it, contained this
principal innovation: Exercise was to
be by couples holding rings or wands,
and with music the doctor enthusiastical-
ly believed that he had borrowed all the
charm of the dance, but it was found
that, unlike dancing, in his evolutions
all the fun was in learning how, and
now his system is quite forgotten

Where Birds Eat thu Dead.

"Ihe Towers OF Silence are five IN
number and stand within an inclosure
measuring about eighty thousand square
yards. There are also within the in
closure house of prayer for persons
attending funeral, temple in which
the sacred fire is kept always burning
and from which its rays, escaping
through apertures in the wall, fall upon
the towers, and well laid out and well
cared for garden. In the garden is an
excellent model of tower, which is ex-
planned to visitors by the attendants.
The corpse of a deceased Parsee, cloth
ed in white, is carried up the hill on an
open bier covered with white cloth; the
male relatives and friends, all clothed in
white, following in pairs, each pair hold
ing handkerchief between them. Some
PRAYERS having been said in the rest
house, the bier is again taken up and
the body conveyed to one of the towers.
These towers are round, ,massive-looking
buildings, with white plastered walls, the
circumference of the largest of them be-
ing 276 feet and the hight of the wall
twenty-five feet At distance of three
feet from the ground there is door in
the wall, through which the corpse-bear-
ers push the body, and then, entering
themselves, place it in its appointed
place. The interior of each tower, which
is open to the sky, is covered, at hight
OF twenty-five feet from the ground, with
q circular floating. which slopes down.
wards on all sides to the center, and con-
talnS numerous open grooves or receipt
aces for dead bodies.
The outer ring of this flooring is set
apart for he bodies of men, a second
ring for those of women and third or
innermost for those of children. At regu-
lar distances, radiating channels inter-
sect these rings. The body having been
deposited in tsplace, the bearers retire,
and Immediately swarm of vultures,
which birds of prey may always be seen
sitting in dozens on the tops of the walls,
swoop down and strip the body of every
particle of flesh in less than two hours.
After few days, the corpse-bearers re-
turn, and, collecting the bones. which
are then perfectly dried, place them in
the central well, forty-tive feet wide,
where they remain to be decomposed by
the air and the rain The moisture runs
off into the ground through filters of
charcoal and sand, and leaves nothing
of the human body in the inside of the
tower but the dry, crumbling bones
