Young Falcons at School.

The young of falcons and hawks arc
we'll trained by their parents. From the
time they are strong enough to pull at and
break up the euarries brought to them it
is one long course of instruction. The old
birds know perfectly well what the young
ones will have to do, and they get them
fit for doing it as soon as they can. They
compel them to take longer flights day
after day and teach them how to stoop--
that is strike at their quarry.
Ono or the other will shoot up with n
portion of feather, or it may be fur, fol-
lowed by the young hopefuls. Then the
lnorsel is dropped from the clutch. Down
they dash for it, and the one that makes
the quickest stoop secures the prize be-
fore it reaches the ground. When the old
birds think the young can fend for them
selves, off they go.
This is not case Of choice, but neces-
sity, for they arc simply cuffed and buff
feted off. So well is this known in tho
country that it is common thing to hear
lad say, "Thcm zero hawks has druv
their young uns off. "-Blackwood's Mag

Rings at Weddings.

There is popular idea that ring mado
of gold is tho only one that can be legally
used in q wedding ceremony. This is,
however, kallacy. Any and every kind
Of ring mas be used, and though gold ones
are customary there is no reason whatever
why silver Or any commoner metal should
not be called into requisition. Numerous
instances are on record of runaway 1uar-
riages in which a brass ring has played
tho all important part, and the legality OF
the ceremony has never been questioned
In some cases piece of hurriedly tied
string has answered the Same purpose, as
have also circles cut out of card or paper.
In not few weddings where constorna-
ton has reigned on the discovery that the
ring has been forgotten doorkey has been
used instead, or hastily severed link Of n
silver chain. 1t is only required that Il
ring be used, but of what nature it is net
stipulated. - London Answers.

In tho lowhr depths of the sea the quiet
