THE AMERICAN GIRL AS KNOW
HER.

My study of the American girl has
been twofold; first in Paris and after
ward at her home. At first I consid-
cred her simply a refreshing change
from the stereotyped English girl, good
to look at and talk with. 1t was ap-
parent, even then, that American girls
would become famous in Paris for their
unusual gifts of conversation and their
general good looks. I soon was able
to drive down any of the great avenues
at home and pick them out as l saw
them pass They had more distinction
in their looks and manner than the
girls of any other country; freedom
in their walk and a conscious pride in
their expression. They never have had
difficulty in making places for them
selves in the life of Paris.
But, though L knew something of
them abroad, it was not until my pres
ent tour of this country that I began
to know them as they are. They have
many qualities for which / look in vain

wHIsTL1NG PIGEONS Or CHINA

WRESTLING PIGEONS OF CHINA.
When the traveller visits Picking for
the first time he is struck by strange
music that seems to be upon the air. 1t
approaches, retreats and then dies
away. After some moments it will be
repeated Looking upward at the in
slant when the aerial orchestra is at its
loudest, there appears a light cloud
whose tint shows against the blue sky,
the cloud approaches and is seen to be
flock of pigeons, which wheel and
circle, and finally settle upon the caves
of the house to which they belong.
The music ceases, and the traveller is
convinced that the birds are the mu-
sicians, but he is puzzled as to their
instruments and how the poetic, rising
and falling music is produced. The in
strument is called a chaotse; the word
"chao" meaning whistling, and the
Use signifying mechanical. A chao-
tse is a mechanical whistle.
The form of the little machine varies
according to the material of which it is
composed. Some are made of reeds,
placed together in the form of pipes,
such as Pan played and others are
made of small gourds. At the extremity
of each reed, or on the face of the
gourd, is placed a whistle. The whole
instrument must be light enough for the
bird to experience no difficulty in fly
ing. 1t is fastened to him by means
of thin strip of wood which goes be-
tween the two central tail feathers. A
small ring is attached to this. and a
light stick thrust through it. This holds
the machine firmly; the whistling is va
ried by the way the air penetrates, and
the force is proportional to the rapidity
of flight.
The falcon, the eagle and the spar
row hawk take up all the animal and
vegetable refuse from the streets. They
are very destructive to all domestic
fowls, particularly the pigeons, which
are very dear to the Chinese. They
cannot kill the birds of prey as they
are so necessary; it is cruel to confine
the pigeons, so the Chinese have con-
structed the chao-tse, which frightehs
their enemies and allows the pigeons to
hy about in peace.

WHAT WAS FOUND IN GRAVE
DUG IN The BRONZE AGE,

Inc grave OF a King or cbieftain who

fully excavated and many bronze objects
added to the provincial museum in conse-
ouencc.
There are beaten and cast bowls, iron
pins. rings and knives of bronze. necklaces
with beads. and bronze tubes and
other objects belonging to the Bronze Age.
About the large trmulus there had always
lowered the tradition that a King was
buried there in a triple CONN. When ex-
amined II was found to conceal a .nine-cor-
nered vault made Of large cratic blocks of
plastered with clay and painted with
red pigment. In this rude tomb was a 81
gantic vase Of pottery. and within the vase
was . box Of gilded bronse having . I'd e

the same metal. the box decorated with
small knobs. The tradition said three cof-
fins. and proved correct.
In the box were the remains Of a man
% or - years old. who's body had been
burned No inscription was found. n the
only means of determining the age Of the
interment is the style of the bronze OBJ
jects and vase. German antiquarians be-
neve that it belongs to a very early Teu-
tonic race in Northern Germany which
practiced cremation. a race that was suc-
ceeded by the Slavic people. who in turn
were driven out very generally by the mod

her lessons with Marie-who l. her "bcnne."
Marie experiences great difficulty in speak
ing English. SO she and Rosina always chat
ter In French-whlch the little girl can
speak very firentiy. OF course. Rosina's
American tongue gets twisted on French
words and accents every now and then. and
1t Is Marie's part to point out the mistakes
and help in their avoidance.
There are two hours Of the day that the
mother and daughter both look forward to.
Rosina knows exactly at what time Mama
gets on the street car at Delmar Garden
for the trip home. and a few minutes before
; O'Clock she goes down into the corridor
of the hotel with Marie and waits FOR the
car which will bring Mama to the cornsr.
When Rosina sees her mother and Miss

So the visitor waited. And Rosina waited
with him. Rosina did not talk of the
weather and other foolish things: she took
up q book and began to read.
And she was thus engaged-very serious
ly and very intently-when Mama entered.
For Miss Bertram had not been sleeping,
and Marie had delivered the visitors card.
