A curious spectacle vas witnessed
here one afternoon recently. accoEdiAg
to a ST. John IN. p.} dispatch 70 the

looking up, found a great f9nnel
shaped cloud OF hawks overshad-
owing them. There were scvera. hun
dred OF tho birds. and Ell were 8a4l3ng
around some Imaginary center in cir
cling LAYERS one above the other. The
lowest stratum vas only about 1850 feet
from the ground, the topmost as far
away as the eye could reach.
independently Of their centrifugal mo-
ton, the birds were going evidently by
force OF the wind, in a n~ortheasterly di-
rection. which promised O to take
them out over the Atlantic. They ap-
peared to be moving by some concerted
agreement, sweeping about with the
greatest ease, occasionally giving ut
terance to the only cry OF which they
are capable. One surmiss of the curl
GUS formation was that a flock OF MI
grating hawks had found itself in the
heart of a storm, and had been rolled Up
by the wind. which rotated IN the form
of a tornado; or possibly It was fer

serving hot milk OF the table. 1t can

a mistake that many women make. The
whipped cream mobiles the heat suf-

service which is a dream. 1t is of sil-
YER. The tall pots are made on artistic
lines, each with a standard, from above
which the pot rounds out and finishes
with q graceful cover and the Usual nose
Of the chocolate pot.
Two of these pots are brought to the
table, for the woman to whom they be-
long believes that she Is losing one OF
her p~rerogatives OF hostess If she does
not prepare each cup to suit the taste
Of the individual guest at informal
lunchsons. One silver pot is filed with
the rich chocolate. the other with hot
milk, and a tall pitcher which belongs
to the set holds the whipped cream. The

afraid OF Its effects, can have 1t hall
