SINGS ITS DEATH SONG.

A Peculiar Bird Found In the Jun-
giles of south America.
There is a queer bird in the jungles
of northern South America which is
called the "pauji' by the natives, but
u known to science as the galeated
curasson. 1t is chiefly remarkable be-
cause it sings its own death song.
It does not really sing, but makes a
deep humming noise which sounds
very much like the Spanish words Gel
muerto esta aqui' (the corpse lies here).
"It is while uttering this lugubrious
chant" said South American travel
er, ''that the 'paujr usually meets its
death, for the hunter can then easily
track It to its retreat, and it falls a
victim, as the Indians say, to its own
death song"
If the paul" gets suspicious it i'm
mediately ceases humming, and that is
a sure indication to the hunter that
the bird has seen him or scents dan
ger. In such a case the only thing for
the sportsman to do Is to remain per-
fectly still. The bird may become re-
assured after waiting awhile and again
begin to call, "The corpse lies here" 1t
can then be cautiously approached and
killed.
If it is only wounded the "pauji' usu-
ally escapes though it cannot fly much
better than the ordinary domestic
fowl. 1t is very feet Of foot and will
outrun the hunter until it is lost in the
dense underground Of the jungle.
In the mating season the male paul"
is the most pugnacious of birds and
will fight its own kind whenever 1t
meets them. Often the fight ends in
the annihilati ton of both combatants.

How Jams Play Ken.

In its most widely practiced form the
basis of the japanese game of ken is
that the fully outstretched hand sig
nifles paper, the fully closed hand a
stone, and two fingers alone extended.
the rest being closed, scissors. Each
Of the players, counting one, two. three,
throws out his hand at the moment Of
pronouncing three, and the one whose
manual symbol is superior to that of
the others, according to the theory Of
the game, wins the trial.
Superiority is determined on the
hypothesis that whereas scissors can
not cut stone they can cut paper, and
whereas paper is cut by scissors it can
wrap up stone. Consequently scis-
sors Is inferior to stone, but conquers
paper; stone Is inferior to paper, but
conquers scissors, and paper is inferior
TO scissors, but conquers stone. There
are fnnumerable varieties Of the game,
for 1t is not a mere method Of deter
mining dispute or priority, and they
are constantly added to by ingenious
young ladies. the dancing girl class es-
pecially, who play it with exquisite
grace and judicious enhancement of
beautiful hands and arms.-Japan

In China, about twelve miles from
the village of Lionchek, there is, ac-
cording to writer in the Liverpool
Post, mountain of alum, which. in
addition to being a natural curiosity,
Is source of wealth for the inhab-
itants of the country. who dig from it
yearly tons Of alum. The mountain is
not less than ten miles in circumfer-
ence at its base and has a height Of
nearly 1900 feet. The alum is OBJ
tanned by quarrying large blocks Of
stone. which are first heated in great
furnaces and then in watts filled with
boiling water. The alum crystallizes
and forms layer about six inches in
thickness. This layer Is subsequently
broken up into blocks weighing about
ten pounds each.

A question often asked, according to
the United Service, is why the army
cadets at West Point wear gray uni
form, while the uniform of the army
is blue. The origin of the distinction
dates back to the war of 1924.
when the commissary general of the
army could not procure the blue cloth
required for General Winfield SCOTS
brigade, and so they were clad in gray.
So distinguished was the conduct Of
that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when, after the war Of 1912,
a reorganization of West Point Mill
tary academy was made, out Of compli-
ment to General Scott and his brigade
the uniform Of the corps of cadets was
changed from blue to gray.

A prisoner is tried by twelve of his
fellow countrymen. This custom is a
thousand years old, and we get it from
the Vikings. The Vikings divided their
country up into cantons, which were
subdivided into twelve portions, each
under a chieftain. When a malefactor
was brought to justice it was usual for
each chieftain to select a man from the
district over which he ruled and COM
pei him to try the prisoner, the verdict
Of these twelve men being declared by
the judge to be final.

II unl bile Pie.

We often hear of eating humble
pie" In the old hunting days Of "Mer-
rie England" when stag was brought
down. the quarry was broken" on the
spot, the choice parts of the venison
being reserved for the huntsmen. while
the entrails. heart. liver. etc. called in
the hunting language of the day the
'numbles." were given to the common
people.
OF these they made pie called
humble pie" Hence to eat humble
pie" became to abase oneself-apolo-
gize abjectly. The transition from
humble pie" to humble pie" was
easy, especially in view of the signifi-
canoe Of the word.

Commissions for the justices of the

ty in February have been received at
Wilkesbarre from Harrisburg by Record
er Barrett. The names Of those in this
vicinity who will each receive one are:
M. P. Campbell, Foster; Frank Snyder,
Butler; p. f. Fallon, Frank Thomas,
Hazleton. The new squires can obtain
their commissions by going to the county
seat, paying fee of Sc and taking the
oath OF office before the recorder.
No commission was issued for Isaac G..
Eckert, of Coke addition, who was elect
ed to the Office Of justice in Foster town
ship in February. The law requires
that the applicant for the office shall
have resided in the district one year pre-
vious to the election, and this provision
barred Mr. Eckert from receiving com
mission.
A vacancy, which can be filled by ap-
pointment by the governor, now exists
in Foster township, as Squire Campbell
is the only justice in that district.

public schools during the session, took
the floor against the bill on the ground
that it made the office of school director
an Office of profit for which politicians
would eagerly grab. He said that II the
bill became law 1t would take from
the school funds OF the districts of the
state over 100000. Nearly every coun-
ty in the state now has school direc-
tors association which annually meet
during institute week. This bill provid-
ed for meeting at other times than dur
ing the week OF institute.
Senator Patton had the bill amended so
as to take from it the payment per diem
to the directors. He contended that to
be school director was great priv
ilege; that the passage OF the bill was
not being asked for by the directors
and he believed that In view OF the
fact that the Legislature had recently
passed law fixing the teachers mini
mum salary at S35, which he had warm
ly supported, it would be considered by
districts hardship II they were compell-
ed to pay So per diem to school dir
ectors for attendance at the county
association. The amendment was carri-
