pinnacle Of their dignity and

convulsed family who had called in
physician to attend to a child's sore
throat The boy had big mouth, and
at the doctors request opened it to the
fullest extent Before the physician
could look down the throat the owl
perched himself before the child and
gazed into the open mouth with the
gravity of scientist. Crows and
swallows, according to Mr.. Beard. the
ornithologist, have sports In which
they regularly indulge. The blueiay
and the crow take their fun out in
cunning thefts, while the swallow
delights in daring exploits. Mr.. Beard
tells the story of an Irish cook who
was struck "spachless' In the middle
of her kitchen one day by a flock of
swallows that sailed through the win
dow, cavorted about her head, tipped
her on the nose, screeched in her ears,
and then sailed out again into the open
air.
We are not to blame, perhaps, for
not being acquainted with the habits
of South American birds, but one can
not help but carp at the early training
or lack of it-that kept US digging
in books and Juggling at linguistic
roots, and left us ignorant of the
cloud dances of the raven, the FRANKS
of the prairie chicken, and even the
sport Of the wild duck.

MINISTRIES IN OPERA.
Genuine Negro Vocalists to Appear
at Wildwood Today.


The great success Of the local COM
pany Of colored Ministries two weeks
ago has led the management OF Wild
Wood park to make it's star engagement
fer today. The attraction will be q
ccncert and minstrel entertainment, by
Georges Colored Operate Minstrel
company. A complete programme will
be presented in the afternoon and an
ether in the evening, the latter COM
me ncing at 1880.
This minstrel organization Is now
very we'll known between here and the
Pacific coast, where 1t was organized
originally by ]. e. George. Mr.. Georges
success with different companies of
colored musicians has always been
complete and the tour Of his present
company has been a most profitable
ole this summer. The company now
numbers over thirty people and includ-
es the best colored talent on the pro-
fessioral stage.
1t Is quite probable that but few If
any more large entertainments will be
given at Wildwood again this season.
However, the securing of the George
company for these two performances
may lead to a change in plan. These
MINISTRIES have of late been playing
through Wisconsin. and will arrive in
ST. Paul this morning in their own spe-
cial car. The company carries consid-
cradle scenery, costumes and other
paraphernalia requisite to giving it's
entertainment in proper style. The en-
tertainment will be given at the skat-
ing rink, which has much larger seat
ing capacity than the pavilion. There
will be no admission fee charged.

since he Is always with several hum
dred Of his own kind. The recreation Of
these horned ScreamerS is regular con-
cert singing. Mr.. Hudson is authority
Tor the statement that they render
three concerts every night, the first
ABOUT o'clock in the evening, the
second at midnight, and the third is
a sunrise chant. The music Of these
fealthered songsters Is singularly beau
tlful, containing a rich and harmonious
blending OF bass, soprano and contralto
parts. The naturalist in La Plata tells
a remarkable story about these birds.
While near an inland lake he noticed
that its shore was encircled by f1ocks
OF the screamers-each flock number
ing perhaps 500, and separated but
few rods from one another. Suddenly
enc Heck took I'D their usual chant
and carried 1t through; as soon as it
had finished the next flock took it up
and so on until the music grew faint
with the distance and then revived as
it travelled around to his side of the
lake again, and yet at no time did one
chorus break in upon another.
In marked contrast to these hymn
singers are the wee blue-coated red
topped dancing birds of Brazil Here
are all the proper appointments Of an
up-todate ball, for while the gay COM
pany arrange Themselves in an open
space the musician takes his place
upon convenient twig and twitters a
perfect melody, while the dancers help
him and themselves out by timely
chirping and a Rhythmic Tapping Of
the wings. While there Is no end of
dancing birds, one cannot leave the
subject without calling attention to the
ludicrous execution OF the square dance
by the spur winged lapwing. Four
birds go through the evolutions Of the
dance, furnishing their own music by
well-measured notes. The couples
place themselves opposite each other;
then, with a sudden note of warning,
one male leaves his place and mate
takes his position exactly in front Of
the other pair, and leads them back to
his partner, emitting meanwhile long,
rolling, thrilling note, while those be-
hind mark the time with short, peril
odic chirps. When the leader has
reached his mate the couple he has led
I'D to her lower their bills to the
ground and spread their wings and
tails. When the leader ends his song
with a flourish, the pair return to
their places, and the action is reversed.
But what shall be said of the FRANKS
and follies Of those birds that do not
dance? The plovers play tag, or touch

Winged Lapvving and Others.
The dance Of the devils and the
dance of the brownies we have all
heard about. but dancing birds are not
so familiar; perhaps because they ex-
list in reality, while the devils and the
brownies and fairies cavort in the
imagination only. A few days ago
Mr.. David Kingsbury was calling the
attention Of band Of boys to the frolic
Of birds.
Did you ever watch the dance Of
the sand hill cranes?" he asked. The
eager interest on the faces Of his little
hearers was sufficient answer, and he
continued:
The cranes dance for recreation and
amusement, and the performance is
well worth seeing, for the birds possess
a keen sense Of rhythm. They will form
In line, raise one foot high in the air
and then, keeping perfect time with
their wings, they will hop first one way
and then the other, dexterously drop
ping to the ground or changing from
one foot to the other. This is a usual
morning frolic with them"
Mr. kingsbury is a firm believer not
only in the reasoning power Of birds,
but in their universal sense of time
and rhythm.
Why he said, when questioned lat
er in regard to his theory, Took at the
prairie chickens, that invariably send
forth an Intelligent melody composed
of four distinct bass notes just before
sunrise; then their drills, while not like
the crane dance, are a marvel of exact
ness. They form in such a way as to
have the female in the center, and 1t
has been my observation that they al
ways circle to the left
His interesting instances of bird rea-
sonlng melted not only the children to
look further into the subject of bird
sports, but also some older listeners.
Among other curious Instances Of
feathered frolic the morning race of
the looms is remarkable. The father
bird at early dawn sounds an auth0ri-
tative call, at which the mother, fol-
lowed by her young, makes her way
to the water, upon which, the birds
arrange themselves in row, as If to
get an even start. Then at the signal
note of the father they make a hun
dred yards dash, spreading their wings
and rising just far enough out Of the
stream to make them appear to run
on it's surface. This race is repeated
four or five times, when the father
sounds the retreat and the birds file
solemnly back to the nest w. H. Hud-
son, who maintains that birds are en-
dowed with a sense Of humor as we'll
as rhythm says:
There are human dances, in which
| only one person performs at a time,
| the rest of the company looking on,
ard some birds in widely separated
genera, have dances Of this kind"
| AS a proof of his assertion, Mr.. Hud-
son mentions the South American cock
| of-the-rock, that, on a level, grassy
plat, will call circle Of its mates, and
stepping into the center of the ring,
spreads it's wings and tail and executes
a minuet with perfect precision. Then

warruel's Nnphtha Yachts.

Mr.. Ernest A. Warffuel, lessee Of the
Naphtha yachts. has announced that on
and after May 1st. he will run his ferry
until midnight every night. Hereto
fore the yachts have stopped running at
10 o'clock in the evenings, but now that
the bridge companies have increased
toll rates, Mr.. Warffuel wishes to an
nounce that he has lowered his rates for
ferrying Island residents. Formerly he
sold twenty trip tickets for twenty-five
cents, now he sells twenty-five trip tick
cts for twenty-five cents, making the
cost one cent a trip. In addition to run
ming until midnight, Mr.. Warffuel has
decided to run two yachts during the
dinner and supper hours. It takes the
yachts only n minute to go across, so
Islanders in q hurry for meals will not
have to wait. The yachts Start at 6
o'clock every morning. AS many Of the
Island residents are feeling sore at the
bridge companies it Is likely that Warf-
fuels ferry will hereafter do an IN
creased business.
