Tho Rook-


This bird is not very well known in
America, because he is an English
bird. But he is very much like the
crow, which our farmer boys know so
well.
Rocks live in colonies, many thou
sands going off together and building
their nests in the tops of neighboring
trees. In these bird-towns, or rookeries,
there seem to be certain laws which all
the birds understand and obey. One
of these laws is that no rock shall build
nest within the limits of the town ex-
cept those born.there; and another for
bids the young rocks from going out of
town to build. If any bird disobeys
these laws, the other birds promptly
tear down his nest and drive him back
to his native town.
They are also said to hold courts for
the trial of offenders. The birds as
semble upon a few trees, the guilty
one sitting 10y himself, with dropping
dead; and after much croaking and fly
ing hither and thither, which we may
imagine is their way of examining the
witnesses, and hearing the pleas of adj
vocates, the charge of the Judge, and
the verdict of the jury, the birds fall
upon the culprit, and execute the SEN
tence of death, or whatever the penalty
NAV be.-Our Dumb animals.

An English Habit.

AS q matter of fact, there is nothing
easier than to prove that hard drinking
has been an essentially English habit
since the dawn of our history. Shak-
speare, who left off writing go years
ago, paints whole gallery of typical
drunkards, and, by the mouth of Iago,
claims the Englishman as far and away
the most consummate topper in Europe.
In 1906 it is on record that Joice
Rowe, Abbess of Rumsey, one of the
wealthiest converts in the kingdom,
and tenanted mostly by noble danes,
was accused before Bishop Fox of ca
rousing habitually far into the night
with her nuns-a pretty strong proof
that hard drinking was then national
vice.
Toward the end of the fourteenth
century Chaucer represents all his low
class characters as jolly topers. The
miller can hardly sit on his horse and
the cook tumbles off into the mire in
consequence of their potations. The
wife of the miller of Benay does not
go to bed without "her jolly whistle
well wet" In 1915 the noble dame
Clementina Guilford, Abbess of Rum
sey, and the worthy predecessor of
Joice Rowe, drinks herself to death.
Some generations earlier the author
of the romance of Merlin" describes
the mother of his hero-a highly re-
spectacle. young woman-as accompa-
nying her neighbors to the ale-house,
swilling there till long past midnight,
taking a lusty share in a brawl, and
then falling, literally as well as figura-
lively, into the claws of the demon, the
whole thing taking place as quite a
matter of course.
In the reign of Stephen comes Wal
ter Map, the jovial Archdeacon of Ok
ford, with his widely popular drinking
songs. A century earlier the whole
Saxon army spent the night before the
battle of Hastings in pushing about
the bowl.
And so we 60 back century by cent
ury; poets, annalists, statutes, and the
canons of provincial councils~all telling
us that deep drinking was the rule all

Cooking as an Art.

The man who presides over the
kitchen in first-class hotel is an alb
solute monarch. Nobody ventures to
question his acts, and even his employ
ers make their feeble suggestions in a
deferential way. The modern Chef is
an artist as we'll as student, and for
his use is provided a library filled with
all the standard works upon his art
Here he consults his authorities, and
plans his campaigns of gastronomic
conquest. In the kitchen are subordi-
mates of many grades who look up to
him with awe. The chez of q leading
hotel in New York lately admitted a
reporter to his inner sanctum, and there
confded to him the great secret of the
cooking art. This, it appears, is the
making of sauces. Everything in its
raw state" says the oracle, "has dis
tinctive taste, but the cooks art is to
bring it to the surface so that it reaches
the palate. The secret in our profess
sion is to supply the fiavors when they
are absent and develop them when
they are there, just as a painter
makes his effect stand out from the
canvas. "-BOStO1l Herald

A Real Pathway of Roses.

One day the little town of Schwal-
bach suddenly became all astir, and
from our windows we saw the flags of
state and duchy and town and church
fying-aremarkable variety of banners.
1t YVES great fete day in Schwalbach
the bishop was coming to town for the
first time In ten years. We, too, i'm
provised the colors of our land and
flung them boldly from our windows.
though we were not Romanists, and it
was noticeable that the Protestant win
dows were dead set aga inst all this
festivity. But we belonged to the Holy
Catholic Church Universal, and when
the people came ont in procession to
meet and bring in the good bishop from
the edge of the town, where he alighted
from his carriage, we joined the pro-
cession and lifted up our voices with
the faithful, who chanted and sung
without instrumental accompaniment,
as they walked through the quaint old
streets. 1t was a pretty and an i'm
pressive sight, and nothing more I'M
American is to be imagined. All the
young girls ready for confirmation were
in white muslin, with wreaths of flow
ers upon their heads, and formed a cir
Gle held together by rope of flowers,
in the center of which the bishop, in
purple and scarlet-a benevolent good
old gentleman-walked with much dig
nifty. Rose leaves were scattered in his
path. L saw one hausfrau, with the aid
of her servants, scatter over two BUSH
els of fresh red rose leaves before her
house.-hdrgery Dea1ee, in Boston

Doors Of Paper.

Feel the weight of that door," said
a New York builder to a reporter, who
was looking at an unfinished apartment
house up town. The reporter prepared
to lift what seemed a polished ma
hogany door, but it proved too light
for any wood. ut is made of paper, "
said the builder, "and, while it costs
about the same as wood, is much
better, because there is no shrinking,
swelling, cracking, or warping. 1t is
composed of two thick paper boards,
stamped and nodded into panels and
glued together with glue and potash,
and then rolled through heavy rollers.
1t is first covered with waterproof
coating, and is painted and vanished
and hung in the ordinary way. Few
persons can detect that they are not
made of wood, particularly when used
as sliding doors"

He Remembered,

A man never feels more lonesome and
forgotten anywhere on the face of this
big earth than in the land of his hoy
hood, after an absence of fifteen or
twenty years. He goes back with a
sort of half belief that he will find
everything just about as he left it, and
is startled to see the little red-headed
girl he was wont to help at her mud
pie baking the mother of growing
family, and the cherry-tree of his
childhood's happy hour full of the sons
of the boys he used to play with.
About year ago / went over into the
happy land of my boyhood, where L
was wont to chase the bright hours
away hunting the amusing bumble-bee
in his native lair. / had been away
from the locality about eighteen years,
and it was half days work to find a
person l could call by name. 1t seemed
to me that everybody knew when /
was boy and lived there had died cor
moved away. The cherry-tree / used
to climb; the streams 1 used to dam
for water-power to run miniature saw
mills; the hills / used to coast upon !;
the great chestnut trees / used to
shake till they showered down their
nuts; the rocks among which L was
accustomed to hunt the ferecious chip
munk were all there, looking very
much as they had looked nearly score
years before; but the people had all
changed.
Near the old house in which I was
happy boy, with great longing for

tween meals, found solitary white
haired man leaning against fence.
He was apparently occupied 10y his
thoughts and q large chew of tobacco.
He was an old inhabitant. / had
stolen watermelons from him twenty
years before. / knew him at once. L
recognized him by strawberry mark
on his nose. / thought would ques-
ton him and see if he remembered
me, and, approaching him, l asked, in
q kindly and reverential tone of voice:
my good sir, do you remember a
fair, bright youth, with thoughtful,
pious air, who was the JOY and light
of family who lived in yonder house
some eighteen or twenty years ago."
"No, never knew any such boy in
this section" said the old inhabitant,
slowly, and in dry, husky tone of
voice. "But / used to know tow
headed, freckledfaced youngster who
lived over there about as long ago as
you speak of. can't forget him well,
for he was the worst boy in the COM
