The distinguished German biologist.
Weisman, has pointed ont that there is
less exact knowledge on the subject Of
duration of life among birds than might
be expected, considering how many in
number are the ornithologists and tho
ornithological societies. Small singing
birds live from eight to eighteen years.
Ravens have lived for almost 100 years
in captivity, and parrots longer than
that. Fowls live ten to twenty years
land are then sold as spring chickens to
young housekeepers).
The wild goose lives upward of 100
years. and swans are said to have at
tanned the age Of 800. The long life of
birds has been interpreted as compensa.

Punished flle Bows.

At one period in the history OF The
University Of Kansas a secret society
broke into being The boysseofnnosinc
1t wore q badge consisting OF the letters
1T. G.. at least two inches long,
wrought out oi new tin. No one could
guess what the object of the society
might be. until il became evident that
turkeys We're niys:arioaslv disappearing
from various localities.
Thus the matter ran GA until. in an
unlucky hour. the boys raided the poul-
try yard of Judge Nelson Stephens.
Now, the judge was not man to be
trified with: he soon detected the rogues
and resolved forthwith TO punish them
in his own pecniiar way.
Without mentioning TIE discovery
outside his own family. he politely in
vited all the IT. C.'s'' to supper. They
were delighted with the invitation and
accepted it forthwith The Judge re-
ceived them most cordially. and kept
them in roar with funny stories until
supper was announced Still shaking
with laughter, the guests were shown
into the dining room and assigned their
places.
On the plate of each IT. G." was a
huge turkey! The judge begged his
guests to help themselves, and went on
with his funny stories as if he were
accustomed to serve his guests with
whole turkeys every day in the year.
The boys were in torture; they could
neither eat nor listen. The judge. how
ever, too polite to notice their embar-
rassment, simply urged them to eat. and
kept on with his stories. Thus did he
"roast' the boys as thoroughly as they
mad ever roasted his turkeys.
That very night the disconsolate '.Tur-
key Catchers' disbanded. and thei1
badges were seen no more.

'Jericho,' came the answer.

"Blind Bartimeus, the son of Ti1neus.'
''For what was he sitting there?"
''To beg"

How Many People Read Thoroughly?


There is great deal Of truth in the
remark made by the dean of st. Paul's
in the Morley hall, Hackney, while dis
tributing prizes to students of Lady
Holes middle class school, that seduca-
ton in these days is, to great extent,
superficial, a considerable portion of it
being required merely for show and inn
mediate appearances rather than for use
fitness in Gfe." But, after all, this wall
is nothing new. Did not the Earl of
Chesterfield advise his son to devote him
self to the acquisition of literary scraps
which he could quote in company, and
thus acquire the reputation of well
read man at small expenditure of the
midnight oil? And did not the late Lord
Neaves express the spirit of the time in
the query, Whats the use of knowing,
unless others know you know it?"-Lon-
