BIRDS AND KITES.

The Feathered Creatures Cannot Under.
stand tho Strange Ylisrs.
Many amusing experiences have been
the lot OF the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur-
poses. says the Chicago News Large
birds are always interested in the
strange devices floating in the air and
cannot quite make out what they are
Prompted by sharp curiosity, they hoy
er around the floating kite and subject
themselves to the danger Of becoming
entangled in the silken string and be-
ing dragged down TO earth.
No bird, however, has ever alighted
on a kite or attacked one. While one
scientist was flying train Of five kites
a couple Of years ago large, silver
tipped eagle came suddenly out Of the
higher air and swooped round and
round the first kite, looking against the
sunset sky like huge silver ball. As
the train of kites was pulled in the eagle
followed, visiting one kite and then an
other, seeming uncertain just what to
do. In few minutes, when he seemed
to have decided that they were not good
to eat. and he knew nothing about
them, anyway, he Indignantly flew off
and was lost to view.
Another experience was had with a
stork that came from the New Jersey
side of the Hudson and few straight
for the queer object in the air. He ap-
parently had made up his mind to 60
straight through it, but changed and
dove underneath. He went around and
above it, and through a glass it could
be seen that he cooked his eye at the
intruder in most comical manner. He
started away a few hundred feet,
changed his mind, and came swooping
back. He finally reluctantly went away,
mystified over this queer addition tc
the inhabitants of the air.
While kites were high In the air one
March fiocks of geese flying in the
wedge few over. They invariably stop
ped, broke up, lowered above the queer
object, and at last slowly reformed and
few away. While the larger birds all
come from heights above the kite, the
small birds of the air will alight on
the string holding the kite and sway to
and fro

Cigarettes at Auction.

A party of regulars in Charterland
had been out for some time in the veldt,
and their supply of minor Injuries had
long since given out. There was not q
pipe of tobacco to be raised in the whole
force, when some good, thrifty soul pro-
duced package of cigarettes and said
that he would put them up to auction.
This was done, and the packet of ten
pieces was disposed Of in ten lots at an
average price of 10 shillings each. -

An Imperial Catechiser.

Sometimes it is inconvenient not to
be able to use quotation marks in speech
as they are used in print. A German
soldier Of the First regiment of the
Royal Prussian guards found this fact
out not long ago.
The Emperor William is the honorary
captain Of the first company Of this reg
iment and takes especial pride in it. He
was lately engaged in putting its SOL
diers through an examination to test
their military knowledge and expert
ence.
What would you do" he said to one
soldier, iii, when on duty as a sentinel,
you saw a crowd gather near your"
II should politely request the people
to dispense, your majesty"
GOOD! But if one Of the men in the
crowd approached you and sought to
worry your
81 should say to him, Don't worry
me. your majesty"
The whole of this remark seemed so
obviously addressed to one person
either to the supposed man in the crowd
or to the emperor-that the emperor
burst into laugh and said, livery
well, my man. I'll dispense and will
not worry you any more. "-Youth's
Companion.
The Possibilities OF Working q olmpIe
Trick Two Ways.
Three young men were seated at q
table in Market street restaurant. One
of them drew from his pocket and laid
upon the table q silver dollar. Beside it
he placed visiting card, with a round
hole about half inch in diameter
pierced through its center. Said he:
"See the fat, white dollar? See the lit
tie hole in the card? Bet you the cigars
can push the big dollar through the
little hole" "I'll 60 you," said one of
his companions, "but, remember, you
are to push that dollar through that
hole without enlarging the hole "
"That's what" responded the proposer
of the feat
Laying the dollar fiat ON the table,
he held the card on edge just behind it.
Then he produced pencil which he
showed through the hole in the card un-
til it touched the edge of the coin.
Pushing the dollar-through the hole,
see?" Here comes Jonesey," said the
loser. LEND me your dollar and your
funny card, and I'll get revenge. Oh, I
won't do thing to Jonesey."
A lengthy, cadaverous young fellow,
with vacuous expression, drifted into
the vacant place at the table. Jones
ey," said the loser of the cigars,
"here's big dollar and here's little
round hole in card. Bet you can put
the dollar through the hole just as it is
loser to pay all four of our checks.
Done" said Jonesey. The other pro-
ceeded to repeat the action of the first
trickster. Hold on" drawled Jonesey
languidly; your contract is to put the
dollar through the hole. I didn't bet
you could push it through the perfora-
ton. You see, dear boy, I've been up
against the game hitherto. "-Philadel-

SLANG OF COLLEGE GIRLS.

The "Crush" Dead squelch" and Other
Terms Expressive of Student Life.
College girl slang is not often heard
outside Of college walls. To outsiders it
is chiefly interesting because it gives
glimpses Of college life. Tako the word
"prod," for example A prod" would
scarcely be met with except in the col
lege world, although prodigies might.
1t is always a question whether q girl
who is called prod" receives the
term in appreciation or disgust. There
are two sorts Of "prods, one receiving
the term from pure brilliancy in some
particular line, the other for general
studiousness. The latter are the most
irritating, for they are always ready
with answers in recitations, while the
brilliant prod" may be on the ordinary
plane of intelligence when out of her
particular sphere. She is q prod"
through no fault of her own. A dis
tinctly woman's collegiate word is
"crush," expressing relationship be-
tween two girls hard to define. One
girl, generally an underclassman and
usually freshman, becomes much at
tached to another girl, ordinarily an
upperclass girl. The younger girl is
crushed" ON the other, sends her flow
ers and tries in various ways to give
to her admiration. The
Crush" soon passes over, the admirer
finding some flaw in her idol, or else,
as is often the case, the crush" at
length loses its youthful sentimentality
and settles down into good friendship
II, however, before either of these
states are reached the object of the
Crush" gets weary Of the devotion,
she resorts to what in college parlance
Is knowa as "squelching, the highest
form Of which is a I'd. ST." or dead
squelch." This method indeed has often
to bo employed toward freshness,
whether crushed" or not, to teach
them their proper place. There is an
unwritten but we'll established decree
that upper class girls shall always be
held as saperiors. At the first Of the
year. for instance, before the entering
class is thoroughly at home, it would
be q decided breach Of etiquette for
freshman to ask a mighty senior or
junior to dance. She must wait to be
invited. But the freshmen-well, they
don't understand all these important
points. but judioious use Of the dead
squelch" will teach them q good deal.
In much the same category with
slang are the authorizations rife at COL
lege. Literature is always Git" psy-
chology "psych, dictionary "dic."
The abbreviation most in the minds Of
the girls at present is that dreaded
monster, "exams." Volumes might be
written concerning the blue state Of the
atmosphere during the time when every
one is looking forward to the "exams. I"
In the corridors may be heard such ques-
tions as How many exams have you
got?" "Do you think wei have one in
lite" Then with gloomy foreboding,
"Oh. I'm 20 afraid I'll funk" Then
the synonyms for hard work come into
play, grind" dig" and "bone. -

Who know not virtue is unbought,
But, like morn's splendors, come unsought
And that the glory Of thy stars
Shines on, though diminished when day

His gates, are still with glory fraught.

And stars and stripes together wave
A beacon till the last crushed slave
On earth's remotest shore or sea
Halls the proud banner of the free.
