There has been an apparent apathy

Sheep kidneys.
Scientists have been some time studying the
habits of the bird known as the Kea, or
the mountain parrot Of New Zealand, which
has acquired the remarkable habit of attack
Ing sheep and tearing open their backs by
means of its sharp and powerful beaia for
the purpose Of abstracting the kidney fat
which appears to be esteemed as a luxwrious
diet. According to London Nature, it .ias
been suggested that this peculiar habit or
instinct was developed by the BIRD getting
the fat from. the skins Of sheep that had been
slaughtered, but this solution is not very
satisfactory, there appears nothing to con-
neet the fat on the skins OF sheep with live
animals. A more probable solution Of the
origin Of the habit Is as follows: In the hilIy
districts OF New Zealand there is great
abundance of white moss or lichen which
exactly resembles lump Of white wool, at the
roots of Which are found small white fatty
substances, supposed by some to be the seeds
Of the plant and by others to be a grub which
infested It, and these are favorite food OF
the Kea Probably the bird, Inisled by its
resemblance commenced exploration in the
backs Of sheep, and this prw.lg satisfactory
originated the new habit e any event il I.

What is abdication to the border tribes

ers of Nyassaland, Uganda or the
fierce tribesmen of the Soudan? From
an imperial standpoint scepter
dropped from the hand of the great
white queen can be borne aloft in her
lifetime by no successor.
In many parts of the world the
British raj is personified in the little
lady who, 60 years ago, said to those
who told her that she was queen: Il
will be good" In some parts of India
she is actually worshiped as goddess.
In her lifetime the native races of the
empire will either look to the queen
as their ruler or they will assume that
something has happened that saps and
neutralizes British power. These i'm

KNOWS A GOOD THING
NOW.
BY GEORGE AIDE.

THERE is an engineer on the Illinois
Central who is pretty well salts
fled with his lot. 1t is possible that if
1.-The road" wanted to make him di-
vision superintendent or vice presi-
dent he would accept either position,
but it would be difficult matter to
induce him to give up railroading and
take up another calling. There was
time, he says, when good thing might
label itself and stare him in the face
and he wouldn't know it, but he be-
lieyes his perceptions have been consid-
erably sharpened since then.
He was employed as fireman on one
CT the company's engines more than
year ago, and was known from Ran
dolph street to Buffalo as ''the dude"
AS soon as his work was done and he
had discarded his bedticking jumper,
pale-blue overalls and diurnal accumu
lation of lubricating oil, sand and coal
dust, he proceeded to array himself in
fine linen and $40 suit of clothes and
loaf and invite his soul. He had several
of these suits of clothes and a cape
cvercoat besides. Also he had a cornet
wherein he played with some skill, and
he loved the drama.
Whenever anything of theatrica Sna-
ture was under discussion among the
railroad men ''the dude fireman" was
always appealed to as an authority. He
had an easy and familiar way of talk

and his criticisms were always accepted
as final. He was not man who made
fine distinctions; actors were, as he
viewed them, either great" or "bum."
Nor was he one of those who content
themselves with criticising. Even the
Elen who sneered with the greatest
bitterness at the cape overcoat were
compelled to admit when Jack "spoke a
piece" at any of their entertainments
that he ''spoke it out of sight"
It.was not surprising, therefore, that
when Bob Chilson, who was sitting
smoking in the fireman's room, said:
Jack, you ought to go on the stage"
Jack answered.: That's exactly what
am going to do"
There was an uncomfortable pause
for moment, during which Bob did
his best not to look doubtful. At last
he said: "Are you going to give up
your job?"
II won't if 1 can hold it and travel
about the country with troupe" re-
piled Jack, "but they'd have to get an
other man to do my work and they
wouldn't want to pay us both wages, so
I suppose might just about as well
quit"
