A FEATHERED PHENOMENON.
True Story of a Young Brahma Roos-
ter In BROOKLYN.

A chicken owned by Mrs. Carson of
Glenmore avenue, Brooklyn, which died
few days ago, though it attracted
little save local attention, was deserv-
ing of scientific investigation. 1t was
not a freak of nature, but rather, in an
Intellectual sense. it was an idiot.
When last spring this eccentric bird
"a Brahma-Nas ) weeks old, it became
quite d pet, and went in and out of
Mrs. Carson's culinary department
without fear, waxing fatter and fatter
each day. One morning, as ii was in
the act of entering the kitchen on a
foraging expedition, its neck was
caught between the door and the jamb
and in trying to extricate itself broke
the vertebTal column. The poor chicken
tainted, and everyone, of course
thought that it was dead. But it was
not For the sake of her children, who
had learned to love the fearless little
marauder, she dedicated many hours
nursing it back to life. She wrapped
it in an old felt hat lined with cotton
batting, which she placed under the
stove The chicken recovered, but its
symmetry of form was gone forever
Its neck had assumed the shape of the
letter V, with it's eyes looking back
wards.
Henceforth it was more of a pet than
ever with the Carson children, but its
own mother disowned it and its broth
ers and sisters declined its company
AS the chicken, christened "CrOOkey'
because of its deformity, developed into
a young rooster, strong and pugnacious
he forced himself on the fear, if not the
affection of his family, and became its
tyrant. After Crookey's recovery a
great change was observed in his con-
duet and mode of action. When, for
instance corn was thrown to them the
other chickens rushed straight for their
share. while CroOkey turned around
that is to say, described d complete cir
Gle, before he made the rush, also that
despite his physical disadvantage, he
managed to get outside his proper por-
ton of the corn. If a dog or cat or bad
boy approached the chickens with aS-
gressive intent, while the others made
bee line out of danger, Crookey had tic
describe his usual circle before retreat
ing, and this phenomenon was wit
messed on every occasion when the ne
ces,glty of it seemed to exist. The scien-
lists will probably explain this by say
ing that owing to the wrench in his
neck Crookey's ideas moved in circles
and this may be, so. But whether or no.
he was a glutton of the most voracious
kind. When the others were done with
their dinners and had retired to the
shady corner to rest and digest.
Crookey continued gorging himself. Not
only that, but he would descend from
his perch at night and go skirmishing
around the yard all alone for something
to eat. He finally grew as fat as the
proverbial fool, and one day last week.

choked himself to death. While in the
death agony Crookey described quite a
number of circles with great velocity,
and then dropped down and closed
career which puzzled the local philoso-
pliers.

pearance to the palace environs.
OF course, this rajah is too young now to
do the actual ruling, which is in the hands
of his chief minister but the power of
the ruler is absolute and he can order
life or death for any one who displeases
him. The people are so afraid of foreign
influences that they will not permit
Europeans to even enter their dominions,
it has been impossible to survey the
country and ascertain the height of the
mountains which tower thousands of feet
in the air. The Chepangs. one of the
tribes. live in savage state, in huts
made of branches, and eat wild fruits or
the animals that they hunt. Another
tribe. the Mechs. is famous for its beauti-
full women, VINO are in such great demand
that their parents are enriched by the
prices paid for them. For wives are open
ly bought by the highest bidder. The
Thibetan Lamas have made many con-
verts in Nepal. and have a great Buddhist
temple three miles from the city. Sum
shere Jung is king over many thousands
of human beings, but any little Ameri-
can boy will have much more that is
worth living for than he.

YOUNG KING OF NEPAL.
sumshere Jung, Ruler Over Thous-
ands of Human Beings.

Sumshere Jung is the name of the
young king of Nepal, one of the strangest
governments and countries in the world
1t lies between Thibet and India, and con-
tains the highest mountains of the loft
lest of the earths ranges, the Himalayas
This little king has a hundred thousand
of the best warriors in the continent of
Asia at his back, and it is therefore easy
for him to command the respect of all the
neighboring tribes and governments
Even the English remain on friendly
terms with him and hire some of his
soldiers to help them conquer the Hindus.
The people of Nepal are strange mix
ture of races.
The ruling tribes. the Ghoorkas, whose
proves has given them the supremacy.
They are of Aryan stock, whittier than the
Hindus and despise all arts save that Of
war. The religion of the different tribes
varies between Buddhism and Brahman-
ism, but not much of what we would
call civilization is to be found there. The
capital city is Kathmandu. where the
rajah. king, lives in queer palace
made up of a large number of small
pagodas surrounded by shrines erected TO
the Hindu gods. These are often smeared
with the blood of the sacrifices brought
to the gods, giving a most savage APP

THE BUBBLE BOY.

George Truesdell had been a naughty
boy. His mother had said that as soon
as his father came home he was to
be punished. George sat in his little
attic room and looked anxiously out of
the window for his fathers coming.
Mr. Truesdell had gone to town with
a load of cabbage-he was a farmer
and George knew that when he came
home and heard that he had been
naughty he would tell him sorrowfully
but firmly to go out in the woodshed
and-he hated to think of what would
follow. After that, however, the skies
wCulo be clear. But that little five

HOLE THROUGH A PIN.
How One May Be Easily Bored BY
Anyone.

Anyone.
You can bore a hole through a pin
without any lathe or other machine. a
little patience and very simple appar-
atus is necessary. All you want is a
needle, two corks, bottle and two
pocketknives. Fit one of the corks
firmly into the neck of the bottle and
stick the needle into it eye down, and
point straight in the air. Stick the
pin firmly into the other cork, open
the two pocketknives and stick them
into the cork so that they balance each
other. So as to get this balance ex-
actly, lay the pin on the point of one
finger, and get some one to move the
knives until you balance them and the
cork on your finger. Then lay the pin
on the point of the needle, and as soon

were companies Of soldiers uniformed

revolutionary war. the war of 1912 and
the Mexican and civil war. Perrys vic
tory on Lake Erie and Washington
crossing the Delaware were represent
ed on floats. A float representing the
reunion of the blue and gray. upon

Future Plans of the Chief Executive
Will Go AS Far West ms

Washington, May 26.-President Nc

has accepted invitations for informal
receptions, both ut Holyoke and Spring
field, and will also call upon Smith col
lege at Northampton, ms well as Mount
Holyoke, at South Hadley, which will
be his especial destination.
The G.. A. X. encampment at Phila-
delphia in September will be attended
by the president.
