TILT BETWEEN HORSE AND HEN
Settling Question OF Proprietorship
in Il Banryard Tit Bit.

~ man living in Dexter, Maine, tells
the story of Il fight recently witnessed by
him between horse and hen, says the
Boston Globe The horse was quietly
feeding in an orchard, when n hen, lead
ing her brood of chicks, approached and
attempted to share the provender This
familiarity outraged the equine's sense
of proprcty and he resented it by letting
his hind foot fly viciously ut the maternal
biddy. His aim was defective, however.
or else the hen was too spy in evading
the hoofs of the animal
The pluck of the hen was something
wonderful. The chicks scuddled out of
the way, hut their mother flutied out her
feathers and ran her neck straight out
before her and darted for the horses
heels whenever they struck the ground.
She peclled viciously ut them but the
odds were against her. rs the heels were
pretty sure to be missing by the time
she got blow we'll aimed. The horse
laboreG under the same difficulty. He
would look back for the men and take
aim. ao ner, and she would change base
before the cyclone struck. For much
fuss and effort ami little effect the battle
furnished Il unique spectacle,
Both sides quietcd down after Il time
and the old hen marchetl oil with her
chicks clucking vocifcrousiy, which was
doubtless her way of impressing them
with the fact that she was not afraid
of the biggest horse in trottcrdom' -

FOOD IN THE ARCTIC.
Birds Have No Difficulty in Finding
Sustenauce Among the Snow


Sustenauce Among the Snow.
The number of birds that 20 to the
Arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception They 90 not by thousands,
but by millions, to..rear their young on
the tundra. The cause which attracts
them is because nowhere in the world
does nature provide at the same time and
in the same place ''such II lavish prodi
gality of food That the barren swamp
of the tundra should yield a food supply
so great as to tempt birds to make jour
neys of thousands of miles to rear their
young in Il land of plenty, only to he
found beyond the Arctic circle, seems in
credible. The vegetation consists of
cranberry, cloudberry and crowberry
bushes. Forced by the perpetual sun
shine of the Arctic summer, these bear
enormous crops of fruit But the crop
is not ripe until the middle and end of
the Arctic summer. and if the fruit eat
ing birds had, to wait until it was ripe
they would starvc, for they arrive on the
very day Of the melting of the snow.
But each year the snow descends on it's
immense crop of ripe fruit before the
birds have time to gather it. 1t is then
preserved beneath the snow, perfectly
fresh and pure and the melting of the
snow discloscs the bushes with the un.
consumed last years crop hanging on
them, or lying, ready to he eaten, on the
ground. The frozen meal stretches
across the breadth of Asia 1t never de-
Gays and is accessible any moment tine
snow mclts. Ages have taught the birds
that they have only to fly to the Arctic
circle to find such il store of "crystalized
foods rs will last them till the bushes
are once more forced into bearing by the
perpetual sunlight. The same heat
which frees the fruit brings it into being
the most prolific insect life in the world;
and the mosquito swarms on the tundra
No European can live there without Il
veil after the snow melts; the gun bar
rels are black with them and the cloud
often obscures the sight Thus the in
sect eating birds have only to open their
mouths to fill them with mosquitoes,
and the presence of swarms of tender
warblers, of the cliff chefis, pipis and
wagtails in this Arttic region is nc

IS DANCING AN EVIL .

My DEAR HIGHER MORALITY
Your remarks upon ''the so. called
social dance" in last weeks issue of this
paper touches upon q subject much dis.
cussed. Your statement that every
thing is either right or wrong appears
to me as an incomplete statement.
From Ecclesiastes 81 we find THAT
there is a time TO weep, o time TO laugh,
a time to mourn and a time TO Dance
To laugh wieli we should weep is
wrong, but we so not think that laugh
| ing is wrong az the proper time; to
dance when We should mourn is wrong,
we will all admit, but like laughing,
dancing has us appointed time and
place. Your remark that while there
is a time for ali things it is no where
taught there is, "a eyer was a time for
us to do evil.n This is indeed u true
statement.
Now let us look at dancing as an evil
and substitute the word evil in the
quotation from Ecclesiastes and we
have that there Is a time to mourn and
a time for evil, which we know is not
! according to The intention OF the good
word, but when we substitute the
phase make merry, we have 'thete is
a time to mourn and q time to make
merry This phrase make merry" is
from st. Luke 1882, used in Che same
way 1 have usel it here.
Ny friend, / admire you in your no.
bic efforts to inculcate the principle of
right and protest against wrong. but be
careful that yon DO not overlook prac
tices that should cause grayer concern
than that Of dancing. Like everything
else it can be carried 10 an extreme, for
s'gluttony is q siu.n
by one dancipg moderately there are
these things 70 be gained. Tie fuller
appreciation of true music and bar
mony; d gentlsirss Of mani,ti The con.
troll and deyeld1 ment Of our muscles,
making MAN poie symmetrical and
firmly built, AID, therefore, a truer
image of his Cd Dior.
Now my frie5d let as all remember
as you have truly said that while there
is a time for AZ things there is uowhere
taught that h re is or ever was a time
for us TO do q then we will al be The
better for SO d ing. But l cannot see
wherein danel B is an evil.
