Queer Actions of South American Birds.
The singular waited, wing spurred
and long toed ~jacanas have a queer kind
of meeting. They usually go singly or
in pairs, but occasionally, in response to
a call by one of them, all who are within
hearing leave off feeding and fly to one
spot, where they walk about with their
beautiful wings erect or half open, or
waved up and down with u slow and
measured motion.
With these two species both sexes join
III the display, but that of the spur
winged lapwing is altogether peculiar,
inasmnch as it takes place with three
individuals only. These birds live in
pairs, and at intervals during the day
or on moonlight nights one bird will
leave his mate and fly to another pair a
short distance away. These will receive
the visitor with signs of pleasure.
First going to meet him, they place
themselves behind him and all three
march rapidly, uttering special notes.
Then they stop; the leader stands erect
with elevated wings uttering loud notes,
while the other two, with pulled out
plumage, standing side by side, stoop
forward till the tip of their beaks touch
the ground, and with a low, murmuring
sound remain for some moments in the
strange posture. Then the visitor goes
back to his W mound and mate, and
later on they receive a visitor which they
treat in the same ceremonious
They are said to be so fond of this form
of visiting that they indulge in it all the
year ound.-Minneapolis Tribune.

1t is strange the difference there is in
people about sitting in a draft of air.
Some persons can sit or lie in a draft and
not suffer the slightest inconvenience,
while others would catch their death of
cold in a few minutes. Why is. this2 1t
cannot be wholly due to the relative
strength of the individual, MOI solely to
the conditions of particular organs of
the body, Judging from observations
it would seem that, other things being
equal, those who have the best capillary
circulation are the mi least likely to
suffer. But this, again. depends upon
certain other conditions. A person who
has a very feeble pulse, showing low vi
tally, cannot have a good circulation in
the capillaries. The surface is easily
chilled, hence the danger Of taking
cold.
But you will see another individual
with a strong pulse, good vitality, who
is apparently as susceptible to drafts as
the one who is feeble. The cutaneous
circulation is sluggish, owing to normal
conditions. 1t may be due to an error
In diet or something which interferes
with the surface circulation. One who
lives largely on oily foods may have q
skin SO torpid that the capillaries in it
cannot do their work. properly. Or il
there is an excess of bile in the blood
this fluid may be 20 thick that the fine
network of capillaries cannot carry 1t.
The surface circulation will be sluggish
and the skin easily chilled .-Home-

4 Young woman.s Nerve

Miss Florence McMeekin, a young
saleswoman, living in Chicago with her
mother and brothers, about 8 o'clock
one morning recently was awakened and
was Mortified to find a mans eyes peer
ing down into hers. She e~ndeayored
to rise, but the burglar held her down,
and tried to kiss her. IF you make any
noise, I'll kill you" he said. Miss Nc
Meekin yelled at the top of her voice
and struggled to free herself from the
grasp of the intruder. He was a power
full fellow, and twisting her wrists until
they seemed to be on the point of dislo-
cation, he said again, "Ill kill you il
you don't keep quiet" and then he
added. Whats the use of strugglingi
| only want to kiss you"
By this time the young lady's screams
had aroused the house, and hearing peo-
pie moving in adjoining rooms he bolted
through the door. Miss McMeekin
sprang out of bed in her nightdress, and
without shoes or stockings followed the
burglar. Down stairs went the intruder,
with Miss McMeekin after him, three
steps ut a time, yelling like a Conan
che and awakening the whole house.
Through an open window bolted the
now terrified intruder, the young lady
just missing his coat tails as she went
through after him. In the yard she
caught him, but he broke away and
dashed down Peoria street. At jackson
boulevard he turned west, and for two
blocks the young lady followed him.
Then her strength gave out, and she de-
sisted.
Her brothers, who had been awakened
by her cries, had followed, and throw
ing a shawl around her carried her
home. When the family examined the
house they found the burglar had taken
twenty dollars in money, and then visit
ed Miss Florence's room. Here, after
taking a pair of diamond earrings, he
determined to add to his crimes by steal
ing a kiss. A year ago, while on her
way home one evening. asthief snatched

After chasing him four blocks she seized
