PLUCKED HIS oAUDY FEATHERS
Revenge of a Turkey GobbIer Upon a
VaingIorious Peacock.


From the Galveston News: II have
always believed" the colonel said,
that animals have far more in
telligence than they are commonly
credited with. | am sure they can talk
TO one another. A case in point: You
see that turkey gobbler and hen out
there? Let me tell you an actual fact
about them. L. M. Johnson presented
me with very handsome peacock. He
was splendid bird, and the beauty of
his plumage was the wonder of the
ne1ghborhood. One afternoon | saw
him strutting around and making
magnificent display of his gorgeous
tail feathers. Mrs. Turkey looked on
admiringly for a while, and trotted
over to where gobbler was quietly nap
ping under a peach tree. They were
engaged for a moment in earnest con-
versation. Then Mr.. Gobbler straight
ened himself up stiffened his wings,
gave strut and proudly spread his
tail feathers. Madame gave a con-
temptuous toss of her head and evil
IDENTIFY laughed at him. | could see the
fire in the gobbler's eye, and told Mr..
Boubel, my engineer, who was with
me at the time, to look out ana we
would zee some fun, and we did. That
gobbler marched straight over to
where the peacock was still piroueting
and admiring the CLINT of his iri-
descent plumage, bounced on him and
never let up until he had picked out
the last feather of that gorgeous tail
l gathered up the feathers, put them
together and gave them to Mrs. Gunni-
son. You can go over the river and
see them if you want confirmation of
the story. The poor peacock, after the
loss of his tail, took no more interest
in life, but pinned away and died in less
than month.

LONDON'S WOMAN BARBER.

She Is Learned in the Mysteries of
Hypnotic Influence.
The Lady BARRIERS association-th
original one, mark you-has existed
eleven years, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette. Its present address is 655 Chan
Gerry lane, and it's latest proprietor
Nine. st. Quentin, who has been in
possession since June last. She is a
charming and accomplished lady
learned in the mysteries of hypnotic
infiuence,and has even views on Budd-
ha. In response to the invitation con-
tanned in the announcement that ma
dame was at home, coupled with the
parenthetical promise OF tea, the writer
descended to the pleasant basement
room, with the electric lamps diffus-
ing brightly warm color through the
crimson shades, and beheld the priest
esses of the razor performing the GUS
tomary rites upon various stubbly and
upturned masculine chins. 1t seemed
so entirely pleasant a process that the
writer remembered with a secret Joy
that he had not shaved that morning.
Presently it was his turn, and, plac-
ing his head upon the pad, he suffered
himself to be lathered and prepared
for sacrifice. To be shaved by a deft-
handed woman is almost a magical
process. There is none of the "slish-
slashing" of the gentleman whom
bountiful nature intended to be a
hedge carpenter. No, no. There is
something smooth and gliding over
ones cheek, with here and there the
light pressure of delicate fingers, and,
presto! one energies with chin that
is equal without a shadow of depreca-
ton to every domestic and ante-mari-
tai demand upon it.

Great quantities of crabs and lob
sters are annually canned in Russia,
yet oysters are in little favor, and
frogs legs are regarded with horror.
A woman who sold large quantities of
crabs, upon being asked for some
frogs legs. replied that she would
not touch one of the horrid things for
a ruble." Wherever there is water in
Russia the frogs abound in such guam
titles that one is reminded of the no.
blemen of other days who used to send
their slaves out to beat the marshes,
so that they could sleep. Russians
never eat rabbits, as they say they
nest with rats, nor will they touch
snails or turtles, which are found in
great numbers all over the country.
Only the aristocrats eat kidneys, and
then only those of the sheep and lamb.
Goose flesh is little esteemed though
the fat is used for culinary purposes.

A German statistician has come to
the rescue of those persons who do not
share the widespread superstition that
Friday is the most unlucky day of the
week. A short time ago he determined
to make scientific investigation of
the question, utilizing for the purpose,
among other things, the records of the
department of compulsory insurance.
The most fatal or unfortunate week
day, according to the investigator, is
not Friday, but Monday. Sixteen and
seventy-four hundredths per cent of all
accidents, it seems, occurred on that
day, 1851 per cent on Tuesday. 1881
per cent on Wednesday, 15.47 per cent
on Thursday, 1888 per cent on Friday,
the same on Saturday and 269 per cent
on Sunday. 1t is interesting, however,
to know that the compiler attributes
the large relative number of accidents
on Monday to 1.-The excessive amount of
liquor consumed on Sunday. STRAY

The First stems.

Before encouraging children to use
their feet we should look to their
actual strength, not deciding how far
they should be urged to walk by the
actual number of months they have
lived. If a young child once acquires
the art of crawling, it will soon do
more, and try to use it's legs. 1t will
soon raise itself by the support of a
chair or stool, will then totter up from
one side of it to the other, holding it.
self up, and by repeated exercises of
this kind, the limbs will gain the re-
quisite power, and the infant will gain
courage to trust to that power; then
to walk alone. However, In beginning
to walk child must have rome assist
ance. This should be gassn by held
ing it firmly under, not by the arms.
