The food of the people consists chief
~ Of black or brown rye or barley
bread. soup, milk. coffee, and fish,
either fresh or dried. Almost every
dwelling possesses its own kiadlur, or
windhouse, for drying purposes, the
four sides Of which are composed of
laths, set some half inch from one an
other to allow free passage of the air.
Here, for months together, mutton and
whalehesh.hang uncooled, and are then
considered fit for human food. Whale
flesh is very supporting, but the dark,
leathery rind, inclosin2 very coarse,
bacon-like fat, looks terribly untempt-
ing. and far worse is the taste. Often
rows of little fish hang outside the
warehouses;, appealing to the noses of
the multitude of unowned cats which
meet you at every turn in Thorshavn,
and are encouraged as necessary to
keep down the similarly attracted
breed of rats. The pretty Faroese
name of musabrouir, the mouse's
brother, has, moreover, been given to
the northern wren (Troglodytes
borealis, Fischer), not for size and
color merely, but because, mouse-like,
it creeps through the chinks Of the kiad.

The time OF one housekeeper has
been pretty well occupied this season
trying to break up the business of a
pair of sparrows who have determined
that they are going to raise family
in particular spot under the roof of
her side piazza. The first nest was
removed and some wire screen drawn
across the opening, but the birds picked
and pulled enough OF it away to wrig-
gle their little bodies through side
ways, and built again. She swashed
them out this time with the garden
hose but in little while another nest
was located and four eggs deposited
in it.
The drowning out scheme was tried
once more, but the birds didn't seem
to mind, and investigation showed that
they had rooted the nest over so that
it shed rain like an umbrella, and only
a little hole was left under one side for
them to crawl into. With the perse-
verance of her sex the lady pulled the
nest down for the third time, and this
week the birds began cheerfully on

A Sunday on Monday.

The creation of the earth in globu.
lar form has caused many problems
which would never have arisen had
the Rev. Mr.. Jasper's plan been
followed. One OF the oldest of these,
the st. Louis Republic shows, is that
which has thrown the people one day
ahead-an error they refuse to correct.
Manila Is one of the most import
ant ports in the Philippine Islands,
but strange to say, is one day behind
all other places of it's size in the world.
This curious fact is accounted for in
this way: Although the Philippine
Islands lie near the Asiatic coast they
were discovered by Spaniards who
sailed from America.
When they crossed the magic line
where Sunday suddenly changes into
Monday, these fiery dons of proud
Castilian ancestors did not revise
their calendar. When told of this
years later, when told that their
mode of reckoning time was not up
to modern notions, they only said
that was so much the worse for mod
ern notions.
Anyhow, the fact remains that these
Philippine Islanders keep plodding al
ong one day behind all the rest of the
world, which reckons time by psw style.

TACKLED THE WRONG HEN
Tale OF a Wicked but Very Wise
Parrot of the Lone Star State.

Zeno was an inmate of our housefol
many years and during that time
seemed to become almost a member
of the family, so peculiar was his
character and so marked his indivual-
ity. He was n pretty parrot, with
such lovely shades mingled with the
green on his shoulders and such bril-
liant red on his wings that we children
thought him the very paragon of par
rots, writes Texas correspondent.
How many times have | seen him
sidle up to mother when she would be
little pale and still, and, climbingup
to the back OF her chair, lean over
her shoulder and peer into her face,
asking sympathetically whats the
matter? Got headache?" My sister
Nell was little fond of standing be-
fore the glass, and whenever Zeno
caught her there he never failed to
climb to the bureau and strut back
and forth before the mirror, exclaiming:
Just see us! Amt we pretty?" until
Nell was fairly driven away.
One OF Zeno's chief amusements was
worrying the chickens. He would
spend hours in the poultry yard, and
would slowly slip up behind hen
that was scratching or was taking q
dust bath, and would tweak her
feathers numerically, sometimes pull
ing them out, and the hens would run
cackling and squawking away, while
the parrot would run down and cackle.
as nearly as parrot can. In a few
moments the hens would forget the in
cident, and Zeno would select another
victim and begin to sidle around to
surprise her in turn.
On one occasion, however, Zeno
made slight miscalculation. He
succeeded in slipping up to the hen he
had selected, and tweak her feathers
| back and enjoy his usual chuckle; but
the hen proved be new rooster
which brother John had brought home
that morning. Mother heard n wild
Tapping of wings, cackling and scream
ing, but did not hurry to see what
was the matter, as Zeno was always
creating a disturbance among the
fowls. When she went at last, she
met Zeno coming in at the back door
his head covered with blood, and
every feather rumpled, draggled and
| dirty.
"Why, poor Zenol What has hap
pened?" cried mother in dismay, but
Zeno waddled past her, exclaiming:

FIGHT WITH A FISH.
Hard Battle to Land a Big Camy
Fish

F1Sn,
'"Take it I'M" said my companion,
excitedly, and bending to the work |
brought the lire in, fighting for every
inch that canae; when the Mexican
shouted warning. Whizz! and the
coils leaped again into the air. Moth
ing could withstand the rush-a head
er directly for the bottom and away.
The anchor had been hauled up by
the Mexican at the first strike, and
now, with line in hand, we were off, the
boat churning through the water,
hurting the spray over us, and bear
ing waves of cleaning foam ahead.
"Take inl" cries Joe, who stands by
the coil, and again, slowly fighting
against the dull blows, the line comes
rim. Ten feet gained, and whizz-eeel as
many more are lost. IL it comes once
more, hand over hand, the holder OF
the line bending this way and that,
trying to preserve balance and
that tension which would prevent a
sudden break. Now the fish darts to
one side, tearing the water into
foam, leaving sheet of silvery bub-
bles, and swinging the boat around as
on pivot. Now it is at the surface
"a feeting vision followed by a rush
that carries the very gunwale under
water. This, followed by u sudden
stacking of the line, sends despair to
the heart: he is gone, the line floats.
No, whizz! and away again, down. All
the tricks of the sturdy black bass
this giant of the tribe INDUCES in, ex-
cept the mid-air leaps which gladden.
the heart OF the angler. Quick turns,
downward rushes, powerful blows,
mighty runs this gamy creature makes,
fighting inch by inch, leaving an i'm
preston upon the mind OF the fisher
man that is not soon forgotten.
With a large rope, and by taking
turns, the fish could have been mast
cred, but such methods were not con-
sidered sportsmanlike here. 1t must
be taken freehanded, n fight at arms
length, and being such, the moments
fly by; it is half an hour, and we have
not yet seen the outline OF our game.
Gradually the rushes grow less, the
blows are lighter, and what is taken
is all gain.-Scribner.

A FIGHT WITH A RATHER.
Desperate Struggle of a Negro With
the Nenomous REPTILE.

Thomas Jenkins, q hard working
negro, who is fond ofhunting, and who
owns a small farm near 0pelika, Ala,
recently had terrible adventure with
large rattle-snake, which he succeed
ed in killing only after it had bitten
him twice.
Jenkins was at work removing the
debris of an old out building, when the
snake sounded its rattle almost under
his feet. He sprang back just in time
to escape the dart OF the reptile, and
struck at it with the small hand axe
as to miss it entirely, when the snake
with incredible rapidity coiled itself
about his leg. He endeavored to
throw it off, when it buried its fangs in
the f1eshy part of the limb. Before it
could withdraw them he seized it back
of the head and choked it, as he
thought, to death, for its folds relaxed,
and he was able to fling it from him,
but upon reaching the ground, the
reptile revived and turned again to
the attack. Jenkins again endeavor-
ed to kill it by stroke of his axe,
but only succeeded in severing the ex-
IRENE tip of the tail, and the next in
slant the writing creature had
struck him on the ankle, when he
brought the blade down upon it, cut
ting it entirely in two.
Calling his wife to assist him, Jen-
kins managed to reach a physician
living near him, whose immediate at
tention to his two wounds probably
saved his life. The limb is much
swollen and of livid blue, but no
danger is anticipated. The wounds
were in both instances deprived of
their full deadliness by Jenkins heavy
trousers and stockings, which absorb
ed much of the poison and thus pre-
vented its entrance into the body.
The snake was an old one of unusual
size and carried the extraordinary
number of thirty-seven rattles.
These reptiles are unusually numer-
Gus in this vicinity this year, the one
killed by Jenkins being the Tooth

Finding n ..nare,. Nest ;,

The origin OF the expression to find
a mares nest" has been traced to the
days OF the early Saxons. What we
call nightr are was by our forefath-
ers supposed % be the Saxon demon
Mara or Mars, kind OF vampire,
which caused the incubus by sitting on
the sleeper's chest. The Mare YAM
pires were said to be the guardians of
hidden treasures, over which they
were supposed to brood as hens do over
their eggs. and the place where they
sat was termed their neidus or nest.
Hence when any ona announced that
he had made an extraordinary discov-
cry, someone accused him of finding a
Mares nest or the place where the
vampire kept guard over her hypoth-
etical treasures.
