lives of the average southern negroes.
Besides the root chewing, the track lift

Fast Salaries of Actors.

A number of autograph letters of Ed
muud keaE supply some interesting in
formation about the salaries of actors
early IN the century. One relates 70 an
offer by Mr.. Ellison Offering Kean e3 a
week as acting manager of 1.-The new
theater in Wych street" Later this
rose a. high as e25 a month. In 1926
Kean was offered SIP, 600 year to go
to America. In the prime of his popu-
larity he received e2OO for 4 week in
EdInburgh, and apparently reached the
highest point when Mr.. Bum wrote
from the Theater Royal, Dublin, on
Feb. s, 1929, and offered him $50 4
night TO play in Dublin and Cork

BIRDS THAT DO NOT SING.
Although They All Utter Vocal Sounds
of Some Kind.

Although They All Utter Vocal Sounds
of Some Kind.
Singing is applied to birds in the
same sense that 1t is TO human beings
the Etterance of musical notes Every
person makes vocal sounds of some
kind, but many persons never attempt
TO sing. So it is with birds The eagle
screams, the owl boots, the wild goose
honks, the crow caws, but none of these
discordant sounds can be called singing.
With the pset the singing of birds
means merry. light hearted joyOusness,
aQd most of us are poetic enough 20
view it in the same way Birds sing
most in the spring and the early sum-
mer, those happiest seasons OF the year,
while employed in nest building and III
rearing their young. Many of our most
musical singers are silent all the rest or
the year; at least they inter only low
chirpings. It Is natural, therefore, that
lovers of birds should regard their sing
ing as purely an expression of JOY IN
the returning spring and in their hap
Ply occupations.
Outside of what are properly classed
as song birds there are many species
that never pretend to sing-in fact
these far outnumber the musicians
They include the water birds Of every
kind, both swimmers and waders; all
the binds of prey, eagles, hawks. owls
and vultures. and all the gallinaceous
tribes, comprising pheasants. cartridges.
turkeys and chickens. The gobble of
the turkey cock. the defiant crow of the
rooster and even the musical call of the
''bobwhite'' are none of them true
singing, yet it is quite probable that all
of these sounds are uttered with pre-
cisely similar motives to those that in
spire the sweet warbling of the song
sparrow, the clear whistle of thu robin
or the thrilling music of the wood
thrush.
But naturalists have set apart a very
large group as song birds, and even
among these there are many species
that never sing at all. Birds are group
ed according to their anatomical char
acteristics, the structure of their bones
bills, feet and wings And thus we
have the songless song BIRDS looking at
the matter from the standpoint of the
classifying naturalist. - Philadelphia
