If it were not Max Muller or some

The Indian wooan~cLsr

correspondent of The Times of In
dia, writing on the birds of Bombay,
says; Il have met with only one species
OF woOdpecker, but it is fairly common
To give a description Of its colors by
which one who did not know it would
be sure to recognize it is not easy, but
anybody who has once seen a wood
pecker vii know it again, for there is
no other bird like it. 1t does not perch
among the branches of tree. like the
other fowls of the air. but rms up the
trunk and boughs like a squire, cling
ing with its strong claws and propping
itself mp with its short, stiff tail. Its
head, set crosswise on the thin, supple
neck, looks like the hammer of a gun,
and 1t stops at intervals TO hammer
fiercely at the trunk of the tree.
Its blows are delivered with extraor-
binary rapidity and energy-indeed all
its actions are impulsive and hasty.
The woodpecker's trade is a curious one.
While other birds are hunting for all
sorts of insects that fly in the air or
crawl on the ground or hide among the
leaves Of trees. it lays siege to those
which fancy they have defied their enc
mics 10y burrowing into the solid trunk
Its beak is regular chisel, square at
the point, with an edge kept always
sharp. on what grindstone know not
It's tongue, which can be thrust ont for
distance of three or four inches, is
armed at the point with strong and
sharp hooks and also smeared, / think,
with bird lime. so that il forms at once
very searching and n fast holding in
strument."

Aguinaldo's Romantic History

Leslie's Weekly: No romance in
fiction surpssses in interest the story
of Aguinsldo He was born in the
province of Csvite. and is alleged to
have been the son of Spanish gen.
eral, though another story has it that
he was the offspring of q cultured
Jesuit. At all events, he became a
servant when a mere lad, in the house
of Jesuit priest in Csvite, was given
an education far beyond that usually
received by the natives of the Phil
ippines, aud showed such precocity
that he was sent to the medical de-
partment of the Manila University
He was bright, courageous and indie
pendent, and when be became mem
Der of the Masonic order, in violation
of the rule of Spanish Government in
the Philippines, he had trouble with
the authorities and fed across the
China Sea to Hong Kong.
A new world opened to the bril-
liant young man, and his eyes dis
cerned the possibilities of q higher
civilization when he realized the su-
purb organization of the British Ar
my and the superiority of its equip
ment He studied strategy, became
familiar with the modern languages,
and found in the great heroes of
modern times, like Grant, yelling,
ton and Bonaparte, his ideals. 1t is
not surprising that at the outbreak
of the Philippine instruction, in
1896, Aguinaldo appeared as leader
of the natives. and speedily became
the centre of the opposition to Span.
