eron of absolute sway. Each has also
its hamper, which is as deadly an enc
my to the Manhattan populace as the
frying pan to the Kansas farm hand.
took an inventory of one of these
hampers last year, and as was
member Of the physiology class at the
time, it startled me out of a sessions
growth.
when the hamper was opened the
chaperon drew forth one bag of sand
wiches and one pie; one bottle of pick
les, one pie; one sponge cake, one pie;
one roast chicken, one pie; one bottle of
lemon juice, one pie; one bag of assort-
ed cookies, one pie; one dozen dough-
nuts. one pie; one package of biscuits
and one pies This was all, except that
there were few extra pies at the bot
tom, for the purpose, suppose, of
forestailing famine.
THE chaperon wondered after lunch
con why the girls and boys didn't enter
into their play with as much zest as
they did when they first arrived at the
park. l didn't l was studying natu-
raj history at the time. and only few
days before lucid explanation had
been given why the boa constructor
takes a months nap after dining on
far more digestible food than anything
1 saw in Central Park that day"

Wonders of Peat.

The London Leisure Hour says that
Herr Zschorner of Vienna has been ex-
perimenting with peat for twelve years,
and has shown eonclusiyely that it
has many astonishing qualities. In
Ireland, in particular, this intelligence
should be welcomed
A building has been exhibited in
which everything, from the carpets on
the floor to the curtains in the windows
and the paper on the walls, was made
from peat. The fbers of the remains
of the reeds and grasses of which peat
is composed have, of course, their orig
inal physical and chemical characters
changed, but the fibrous structure re.
mains unharmed, and the fibers them
selves are very durable, elastic and
non-conductors of heat.
Fabrics woven from them are found
to have the toughness of linen with the
warmth of wool. There is no textile
fabric that cannot be woven from these
fibers. Blankets and other coverings
used for horses and cattle have been
found to excel in warmth and cleanli.
ness.
Paper of several qualities has been
made and the uses to which peat fiber
has already been applied indicate possi
bilities that may render the peat-bogs
of Ireland valuable addition to the
resources of that country.

straight out like a man. or he can do
the high kick like a music hall star.
At first the blows were delivered
chiefly on the breast and didn't Eurt
much, but eventually the small bird
knocked the other one out with mas
terly stroke delivered by the long sharp
claw of the inner toe on the wattles of
his antagonist.
No fatal injury was done. but the
shock must have been terrific, for the
big bird uttered peculiar cry and re-

the victorious one resumed its war
dance. 1t also had been severely pun
ished.

The Brutality of Man.

A correspondence full of eloquence
and speaking moral has been brought
to light by trade journal in st. Paul.
The lady received the first letter, and
1t read thus:
"Dear Madam: 1 take pleasure in
shipping to your address rug valued
at $50, for which 1 shall be glad to re-
ceive your check. If you do not desire
the rug please return it. Very sincere
ly, and so forth!'
"The idear' exclaimed the indignant
woman, and thereupon she sat down
and indited the following reply:
Dear Sir: l have ordered no rug
from your establishment, and see no
reason why should go to the expense
of returning that which do not want,
and which was sent to me unsolicited"
To this complaint she received the
following gently sarcastic rejoinder:
Dear Madam: l will send for the
unsolicited rug, and I trust you viii
do me the favor to send for the unso-
licited charity tickets which now lie
with about twenty-eight others on my
desk. Very sincerely, and so forth"
.srhe discourteous boor!" shrieked the
lady.

A notable popularity of this is that
If any particular object attracts his
attention he will perform sort of war
dance over 1t. This happened at the
zoo when one of the cassowaries, which
are confined in cages near the main
entrance, lighted upon piece of gaudy
ribbon blown inside the bars from the
hat or dress of some woman visitor,
says the London Express.
He was one of the smallest of the COL
lection, but he was of martial disposi-
ton. After having carefully examined
the ribbon he started his war dance and
kept it up with great vigor for some
minutes. Just while he was at the
height of his enjoyment a larger casso-
wary came up and interfered with
him.

from the spot in order that he in turn

elongating his body and hitting imag-
mary blows with the horny mass which
cassowaries carry on the top of their
heads and which is called helmet, he
seemed tobid defiance to all comers.
The larger cassowary, thinking ap-
parently that he could treat the demon

The two were Unmatched as regards
height, one of them being above five
feet high and the other foot or more
shorter, but the battle which ensued
showed that weight and height will not
always tell.
Forward kicks were the main feature
of the fight. The cassowary, 1t is be-
