A Most Remarkable Encounter Between
Two Birds.
Editor Haddaway, of the Easton
(Md.) Ledger, gives an account OF q
most remarkable encounter between
a barn swallow and an English spar
row. The swallow, as stated to the
editor, had built its nest among the
rafters of the barn Of MI. Denney,
near Royal Oak. in Talbot County.
While on the nest the swallow was
attacked by the sparrow, and the two
birds had a furious battle, which
went on sometimes in the air and
sometimes on the ground. The swal-
low was courageous, but it had not
the wind of the sparrow, and finally
had to yield to its antagonist. Hav-

A Wonan's Face,

The lines of a woman's face are the
tracings of her life history. Temper,
emotions. principles are plainly written
there. A woman who exists like an
oyster can keep her face unlined. The
woman who lives must expect to show
the march of years. Too many
women play with their emotions; they
cater to nervous excitement Then
reality fails to furnish the necessary
portion; fiction, sensational reports of
disasters-commercia social, accident
al-become the basis of supply. To thrill
becomes as necessary as to breathe,
and every emotion leaves its tell-tale
mark and becomes the enemy that de-
prives life of power.-Current Litera-

Whistled Snanish.

From an investigation of the whistled
language of Gomera and other of the
Canary islands. NJ. j. Lajard concludes
that this is not a special idiom or a
whistle which tries to initiate the Span
ish language, but that it is the Spanish
language strengthened by tbs aid of
whistling. BY this artifce-whistling
and speaking being combined while one
or more fingers are held in the mouth
the sound of the voice is carried much
farther than in ordinary speech, al
though the words are so indistinct that
strangers cannot understand. The use
of whistled language seems to have
been more widespread formerly than
aow.-Rochester Democrat.
