re sonG 81 the Grouse,

Certain birds when the period Of
courtship comes round repair 70 partic'
ular trysting places and announce their
presence there by well known calls or
signals.
The ruled grouse, as every one
knows, seeks an old log or other con-
yenlent perch and drums with his
wings, a hint to any lady grouse with
in hearing that "Barkis Is wlllin."
The performance Of the grouse is one
frequently heard, but comparatively
seldom seen. and for many years there
were numerous conflicting theories
concerning the means by which the
druaming was produced. Some said
that the sound was vocal, and others
declared that the grouse struck the log
with It's wings. Even today the pre-
else cause OF the sound is not known,
for, although tho bird has been closely
watched, its wing movements are so
rapid that II Is next to impossible to
tell exactly what takes place. This
much, however, Is known: During the
performance the grouse stands upon
the leg or other perch and strikes the
air IN front Of his body somewhat after
the manner Of an elated barpyard cock.
The first few strokes ape measured, but
they become faster and faster until the
Individual thumps are lost, as in the
rolling Of a drum. Whether the sound
is due entirely to beating Of the air or
whether II is increased by the striking
together of the wing tips Is a question
yet to be settled.-Hartford Times.

From the Stage.
The name OF the hero Of this anee.

Let II suffice that in his heyday he
was one of the greatest tenors who
ever sang to breathless and enthusI-

however. for the red. red wine. which
in the end proved his undoIng and ulti'

times he had no more ability to guide
his wandering footsteps than has .
sufferer in the last stages Of locomotor
ataxia.
At one time, when he was singing
Faust to Emma Abbott's Marguerite,
he appeared at the opera house In an
apparently hopeless condition. The
management was wild, but there was
no one to take bis place, and so they
had to chance Il with him as Faust.
All went well until they came to that
scene where Faust, in leaving Margue.
rite, crosses tho stage and then. giving
way to an impulse, PUSHES back and
kisses Marguerite yet once again ere
taking his departure.
Faust on this occasion got to the 9th.
err side OF the stage all right, but trou.
BILE arose when he tried to get back.
Marguerite sits in the window Of her
cottage, and Faust comes back and
kisses her through the window. Faust
measured the distance with . wabbllng
eye, but made a start when IDS cue
was given. Then he seemed to lose
control OF himself. One-quarter way
across he was trotting, one-half way
the trot was a run, and the remainder
of the way II had become gallop.
Up to this point Miss Abbott stood
her ground braveIy, but that rapidly
approaching figure awed her, and with
a frightened scream she fed. Faust,
poor Faust. charged on. BE reached
the place he had last seen Marguerite
and essayed to clasp the atmosphere In
outstretched arms. Then his impetus
carried him through the window, and
all that the astoundcd audience looked
upon were his waving legs. Somebody
pushed him back. and, absolutely I'M
disturbed, no finished the opera. sing
ing In an unusually superb manner.
Not so with the unfortunate Margue-
rite, however, for from then on she was
suffering from a case Of "rattles,"
which In simple Justice should have
been the property Of Faust.-New York

there was a restless feeling among the

The correct posture for sleep IS to lie
on the right side with the limbs stretch'
ed out to their full length and the arms
either straight down by the body or in
any comfortable position, provided they
are not raised above the head. The
mouth should be closed, and all the
muscles of tito body should be relaxed.
The lungs work with greater dellb-
Grafton during tho hours Of sleep. and

The Irish peasant girls have long
been famous for their beautiful, clear
skins and healthy compilations. They
owe much OF their loneliness to the
moisture of the climate and the sim.
pIIcIty OF their lives. Plain, wholesome
fare and ralnwater for the wash basin
tell their own tale. No matter how
homcly are the features Of the genuine
peasant girl, her skin is almost invarIa-

rounded, the eyes brilliant and express

There are no eyes finer than those Of
the healthy daughter Of Erin's isle.
Soft and tender one moment, to dash

So much time is spent out Of doors
that the feet. usually bare, become en-.

well shaped and neat, the Instep high
and the skin Of baby tineness. The
Irish girl OF humble station Is proud
of her shapely feet and believes that
walking through the grass before sun

which, OF course, 1t does.
