SCHOOLGIRL ATHLETES.

The practice of athletics in girls
schools is no new thing, but it is a
novelty for girls to engage in inter
scholastic athletic events. The first
track meet ever held by school misses
took place on Friday, May 18th, in the
grounds Of the Montclair Athletic
club, between the girls of the Mont
clair high school and those of the
Pamlico athletic association, of the
de Mile school, at Pompton, N. ].
Interesting as the meet was in it.
self, its chief Importance lay in its
Significance. 1t is not probable that
the Pamlico girls will rest content IN
til they have made another effort to
win some of the laurels carried off by
the Montclair girls. The women
colleges may not enter into inter-
collegiate contest, but those who
know the subject best say that it is
unlikely-but girls schools are not
bound by the same conditions as the
colleges. The Montclair-Pamlico meet
was the entering wedge, and other
events of the sort will not be SOW to
follow. The value of this sort of thing
among girls and women is far more
than a mere making or breaking OF
records made at the meet with those
established by boys athletic associa-
lions. The interscholastic records
push close to the intercollegiate now,
and it would not be fair to compare
either with the work done in this line
by women. The latter have not had
the training that boy takes up as a
matter of course from the very begin
ming of his school life. 1t is the ex-
ception when a girl is drilled in
athletics. 1t is an even greater excep-
ton when a boy is not-Christine

THEY BOTH SMILED.
Couple Carried on Conversation by
Deaf and Dumb Method.

An experience which j. Brent Will
liams of Fulton, Mo-, will not forget
occurred to him recently. Mr.. Williams
is editor of the Fulton Telegraph and
also has charge of the Deaf Mute
Record, paper Connected with the deaf
and dumb institution at Fulton.
Mr.. Williams had been in Texas and
he was on train coming from Dallas.
He was sitting at the car window
while the train was at the depot of an
Indian Territory town, and as he looked
out he saw a young woman bidding
good-by to some friends, using the deaf
and dumb method of talking with the
fingers. Mr.. Williams understands
this form of conversation perfectly
and he waited until the young woman
entered the train and then he went
back into her coach, and seeing a va
cant seat beside her he sat down. AS
Mr.. Williams is much interested in the
education of the deaf and dumb he be-
gan conversation with the stranger,
using his fingers with expert rapidity.
The young woman answered in the
same way, and before long the two
were carrying on an animated CONVEX
sation on both hands, which continued
until the train pulled into Kansas City.
At the depot here Mr.. Williams said
by means of his fingers that he was
glad he had had the pleasure of meet
ing the stranger, and she responded
politely and then said good-by. Up to
this point not sound had escaped the
lips of either traveller, everything hav-
ing been said by means Of the deaf and
dumb alphabet.
AS Mr.. Williams started to get his
baggage in another car, he noticed that
the young woman with whom he had
been travelling appeared greatly wor-
ried, and he saw her lips move, and
then he heard her say, apparently
more to herself than any one else:
81 wish to goodness had some one
to help me off with my baggage"
Mr.. Williams gasped in astonish-
ment, but recovering his presence of
mind, he took up her grip and said:
l"Certainly, I'll help you"
The two travellers, each of whom had
thought the other deaf and dumb,
looked at each other for a moment and
then burst out laughing.

The Polite Thing to Do.

When small girl was visiting at a

from the dressmaker's. Their mother
took them out of the boxes for them to
see, and then turning to Julia, she
asked her how she liked them. Julia
made no reply as to her opinion of
them, so the lady asked her again.
Still Julia kept her lips firmly pressed

julia, why don't you answer me?''

VIBRATIONS OF BIRDS.
Night Journey often Interrupted by
Tempests.


Tempests.
shipwrecked man who is picked
up at sea, after enduring days of
Iprivation in an open boat has gen
orally an exciting story of adventures
to relate. If birds could talk, some
of those in the New York geological
park could tell of experiences which
would dwarf any tale that mariner
could spin.
When the birds migrate north in
spring and toward the tropics in the
autumn, they sometimes pass over
large bodies of water, and a favorite
route is along the seacoast of the
countries over which they fly. These
routes are so fixed by the law of
precedence that even where islands
have disappeared in the process of
geological changes birds will still con-
centrate their flocks and cross con-
siderable bodies of water at the exact
places where formerly the passage
was made less difficult and the way
more clearly marked by the long
since submerged land. On these
nocturnal journeys-for most birds fly
at night, from fear of hawks-storms
at times come ny suddenly from the
helplessly out to sea. All they can do
is to keep their balance, which the
very velocity makes an easy matter,
and drift along, fortunate if they can
manage to avoid the black waves and
the stinging spray beneath them.
| A European heron recently flew on
board the steamship Glencartney
when the vessel was about two
hundred and five miles southwest of
Cape Comorin, the southern extremity
of India. The bird did not appear ex-
hausted, although it could not have
rested since it left the land. There is
no migration route near this place. so
! it must have been forced seawarj
while feeding or flying along the
shore. The bird was caught and, after
one wing was clipped, made itself
perfectly at home on board ship. It
fell overheard twice, but kept afioat
until rescued by boats crew. The
heron was confined for time in the
! potato bin, and defended this base of
supplies so vigorously that the daily
ration for the crew was obtained only
with difficulty. Fish scraps kept the
bird in fine condition until it reached
New York and finally its home in the
geological park.
| The bird which thus far holds the
/ record for sensational capture
among the birds in the collection is a
little English turtle dove, which few
exhausted on board the Hamburg
American liner Phoenicia when that
/ ship was not less than seven hundred
and fifty miles from the nearest land,
! the coast of Ireland. 1t was so IA
ltigued and bruised by the wind and
rain that it showed no fear, but al
lowed itself to be caught and carried
to the dining-room. where it ate to its
hearts content. What terrible ex-
iperience it must haze passed through,
heading mile after mile for midocean,
powerless to turn and beat back
against the Irresistible force of the
tempest, How IL must have strained
for a glimpse OF some resting place,
some hint OF 4 haven, and how
welcome must have been the sight of

ands of the smaller mounds, mere
tumuli raised some inches above the
ground, are now believed to have been
nothing more than elevations on
which the Indians pitched their in
dividual tents for the sake of
drainage, and many of the other
mounds, as has been proved by their
contents, represented forms of Indian
burial that continued even into the
last century. In fact, there is nothing
that has yet been found among the
relics of the mound builders that can
not be attributed to the North Ameri-

savage cultivation than his present de-
scendants Thousands of minor relics

later published in the reports of the
Peabody museum, is a brief summary
of the purpose Of Cahokia, as viewed
in the light of modern knowledge.
Probably this immense tumulus,"
says Professor Putnam, was not
erected primarily as burial mound,
though such may prove to be the
case. From the present evidence it
seems more likely that it was made

some particular purpose; presumably

recent times, was likely due to the

Go!derrod and Memories.

FROM rsr-off. blue Wisconsin hills,
There came a gift of flowers to me.
With prisoned sunlight in their depths.
They spoke of days long passed away
OF hazy ygolden autumn ewes.
Of moonlight filtered softly down
through canopieS of yellow leaves.
And like fair ghosts, for years laid 'ow.
Come back to haunt familiar ways.
There rose to mind the fairy dreams
Woven in long-go childish days;
Dreams great with noble deeds and true:
OF hard-won fame. and wealth and
power;
And who shall say the ripe. years
But mock that golden fairy dover?
Fer speaks living voice, as from
The perIumed flowers my friend has
sent:
The visions Of the child are true.
For what is wealth but sweet Conttntf
10. Better than the fairies pelf,
The hard-earnCd wage of honest men;
The noblest deeds are every days,
Done bravely. once and Yet again.
Power. It Is ours. above kings.
And godlier than eXalts a throne.
If we but make single life
The brighter, that it's next our own.
The soul that rules its living Self
Is mightier than a scepter's sway,
The fairy realm of childish dreamsl
1t ues about us every day.

Even the Artist Was Not Su. e.

Many of the pictures of Whistler.
the artist, are vague both in treatment
and subject. One night he was dining
with Henry Irving, SO the story goes.
Two of Whistler's pictures adorned
the walls, and he wished no further
entertainment than the study of these.
At very short intervals during the
meal he took occasion to rise from his
seat and take a close observation OF
them.
After studying the paintings in this
way for some time, he exclaimed.
"Irving, Irving, look what you've
done!"
whats the matter?" asked Irving
calmly.
"Matter?" thundered Whistler.
"why, the matter is that these pic.
lures have been hung upside down.
and you have never noticed it. ]
suppose they have hung that way for
months!"
Il suppose they have" replied Irv-
ing; "but think might be excused.
since it has taken you-the man wha

cover that they are upside down.
