An ACQUIRED Habit,

: It is matter of general knowledge.
that the mountain parrot of New Zea-
land, the kea, has acquired the very
destructive hab;i of piercing the backs
!, Of sheep with It's sharp beak in order.
Ito feed on the Kidney fat Of the very
unfortunate animals attacked. TWAS
at one time believed that the bird had
learned this habit from procuring fat
ty particles from the skins Of sheep
which had been slaughtered; 8 but now
a more likely solution Of the problem
has been suggested by correspond
of the Zoologist. This gentleman, who
writes from Melbourne, tells us thatin
the hilly districts of the middleisland
Of New Zealand there grows in great
quantity white lichen which bears
strong resemblance to sleeps wool.
Beneath this lichen are to be found
small white fatty substances, which
some suppose to be the seeds of the
plant, and others describe as maggots
which infest it; but, whatever they
be, they form a favorite food of the
kea. It IS suggested that the bird, mis-
led by the resemblance Of the sleeps
wool, digs down into the flesh in the
hope of finding this white substance
OF which it is osfond, and that in this
way the new habit has been originated,
In the first place, probably the birds
are misled bysmist aking dead sheer for
masses of the ichen under which they
had been accustomed to find their .fa.f
vorite food. Chambers Journal.

DOOM! Boom! A report like can
d non, or park of artillery, rang
Sharply out on the still air, and one
of the very highest peaks on the wall
of ice was shivered into fragments,
falling with loud splash 400 feet into
the water below. "
"By Jove! That was Jim Dandy!"
cried Harry Page, as he stood with
Dane Hartmann on the deck of the
Queen, at anchor in Glacier bay, gaz-
ing with glowing eyes upon the Won
derful Muir Glacier.
Every few moments there would
come the sound of sharp explosion,
or asudden crash, and some monument
of snowy beauty would fall from the
icy wall like an avalanche. of snow;
filing the air with a shower of pow
derry flakes, and tumble headlong into
the foam below, to drift with the tide
to the open sea, or to join it's fellows
in the ice-rimmed bay, where they
cleaned with such beautiful rainbow
tints that the inlet had the appearance
of fairyland. ss. 5.----''' ...'' b..
On hearing Harry's exclamation,
Dane drew deep breath and then sur
reptitiously gave himself several hard
pinches to assure himself that he was
still in the land of the living, and not
in world of dreams. But his doubts
upon the subject were suddenly
brought to an abrupt termination by
Harry giving him a sharp prod in the
back as he exclaimed: "Come, old
man, don't look so glum. One would
think you were frozen as stiffsas yon-i
der ice wall" Vt Il ## II
At this moment the professor joined
the boys. His pale countenance, which
generally wore an expression of the
utmost, placidity, seemed unduly ruff
fled. His glasses had fallen from his
noseHand were dangling in his beard,
as he stared about him with short
sighted glare, utterly oblivious of his
loss.
'Tiswond erful Sublime Z, e muir
mured.9 Boys" he continued, after a
pause tits a sight youswill never see
again. Improve every moment"
But Harry-who had spent all his
spare seconds on the trip in counting
the number of times his uncle had re-
peated that :admonitory preface to
lengthy lecture, on the ACCESSIBILITY of
improving each shining moment, and
having arrived atsthe 349thtf count
broke in with why, Uncle Dick,where
are your glasses? You look as if you
had been struck by cyclone" 1
''My glasses!"'. nervously repeated
ProfsDeane ,sas.he began to glare wild
ly about him IN search of the missing
eyes; but at that moment Dane came
to the rescue and the professor wasre-s
stored to HIS normal condition. ~
'sTell me, professor" inquired Dane.
after another long look at#the mag
nifcent spectacle before him, "who
first discovered this wonderful gla-
cier?'' sss
can old schoolmate of mine, Prof.
John Muir, state geologist of Califor-.
MIA, = replied Prof. Deane. He was the
first white man to visit the glacier, and
tits said his first view Of it was in 1879,
from an Indian canoe"
At that moment there came sharp
defamation, followed by a far away
rumbling sound.
..What is that rumbling?" asked.
Dane, quickly. 1T sounds lii like ., an

SOUTHINGTON AGRICULTURAL
 FAIR

The gates of the Southington Driving Park are to be opened again for an ag- ricultural fair. It is to be held under the name of the Southington Agricul- tural company and Union Grange, Sep tember 2S and 29. The grange was in earlier days a strong and recognized support of the Southington Agricultur- al association. Later it became one of the four granges to form and maintain the Bristol Fair corporation, but last winter, after much thought, withdrew from the Bristol corporation and deci- ded by a nearly unanimous vote to act independently and hold fair within it's own jurisdiction. In so voting, doubt less the new Meriden and Southington trolley played it's part. The new road passes the west entrance to the park. In addition, it is understood that neith- CT Bristol nor Meriden will hold a fair, and the only competition in this section will be Berlin. The officers in charge are: President, George L. Messenger; vice-presidents, c. F. Hamlin, A. NJ Lewis and w. O. Camp; secretary and treasurer, M. M. Frisbie. The premi- um list will shortly be published.
