"Nou, Too"

This story is told OF Alexander
Dumas 1t Is well known that he
could not refuse IA rcQuest--at lc st,
not often. One day he gave man a
letter to one OF his intimate friends
in brussels The friend, wealthy
merchant, received him aS though no
had been Dumas own brother, intro
duced him TO his circle OF acluaint-
ances, placed his stable at the mans
disposal, and did everything in his
power TO make life pleasant for
Dumas friend. After the lapse OF
fourteen days the man suddenly dis
appeared, and with him the best
horse in the merchants stable. Six
months later the merchant visited
Dumas and thanked him for the
kind OF people he recommended to
his consideration. "lear friend, "
he added. your friend is shark.
He stole the best horse in my stable. "
Astonished Dumas raised his hands
toward Heaven and cried: "What,
he stole from you, too"

Bathing Habits Of Birds.

We never saw hawks or falcons
bathing when wild. Trained birds,
in good health, bathe almost daily,
and the bath OF a peregrine falcon is
a very careful performance. But no
nYmph could be more shy OF a wit
ness than these shy birds and il Is
not until after many careful glances
in every di ection that the falcon de-
scends from her block aud wades In ia
the shallow bath. Then, after more
suspicious glances, she thrusts her
broad head under the water and
filings it onto her back, at the same
time raising the feathers and letting
the drops thoroughly soak them.
After bathing head and back she
spreads her wings and tail fan-like on
the water, and rapidly opens and
shuts them, after which she stOOps
down and sDlasheS the water In every
direction. The bath over she flies
once more TO the block, and turning
her back TO the sun, spreads every
feather of the wing and tail, raises
those on the body, and assists the
process OF drying by tremulOus mo-
tion impaired TO every quill, looking
more like an old cormorant on buoy
than peregrine.
If man had nothing better to
learn from the animals than the
great lesson that cleanliness means
health, the study OF their habits
would be well repaid, and IT Is not
the least reproach TO be brought
against our own Geological gardens,
that these fine hawks and falcons,
while deprived Of liberty are denied
the only means OF that cleanliness
which would make captivity cndura-
ble. The peregrinC falcons at these
gardens are kept in cage sanded
like "a canary Lird's, with no lath ut
all, and no room TO spread their
wings.
Sparrows, chatlinches, robins and
in the very early morning, rocks and
wood pigeons, bathe often. One
robin we knew always took his bath
In the falcons bath after the hawk
had finished. The unfortunate Lon
don sparrow has few shallow places
in which he can bathe, and a pie-dish
on the leads delights him. If the
dish be white his grimy little body
soon leaves evidence that his ablu-
tions have been genuine.

Home of the Wild Horse.

A correspondent says in a Texas
paper: Il believe this is the great
est horse country in the world 1t
was certainly his home in the wild
state, which proves, think, that il
was adapted To his wants He was
roaming this vast p airie country
long before the white man concluded
70 make IL his home and he is here
still within twenty miles or less OF
this place, IL Is said, but this may be
a little doubtful; but l50or 200 miles
ives: OF here he abounds in large
droyes, and from what l learned OF
parties that know the te. m wild"
fits them extremely well, for they
can sniff you from two TO five miles
away. and, at the signal OF the horse
on guard, they bound away, aud by
the time the fleetest horse can catch
them, though he have the staying
qualities of the old four mile repeater,
he is completely exhausted.
