Finding no empty shell Of suitable

How Old is He7

How old is boy on his twelfth
birthday? Twelve years old, OF
course, you will answer; but put on
your thinking cap, and see il you
don't find that answer wrong. We
know that it is the usual way Of ex-
pressing it, as, for example, when we
say that man becomes Of age on
his twenty-frst birthday, but it is just
as well to be right about these things,
and, as matter Of fact, man be-
comes Of age on his twenty-second
birthday.
A boy, therefore, is not twelve. but
eleven years old on his twelfth birth
day. It Is simply matter of count
ing. His first birthday is the day he
is born: his second birthday Is the
day he is one year old, and SO on,
until, on his twelfth birthday he is
eleven years old, the age keeping one
year behind the number OF the birth
day.
It would be different IL we used
the word anniversary" instead. of
birthday" for the first anniversary of
the boys birth comes one year after
tina. event, the second anniversary
two years after, and so forth.

A Wincress Bird,

Far away on the other side. Of the
world, In New Zealand, there Is a
most curious species Of bird. which
has neither wings nor a tail. What
do you think Of that? There are very
few Of these strange creatures left,
even on their native island, but their
cousins. the ki-wis, are still numerous
in Australia. The ki-wi gets its name
from its peculiar cry, which sounds
like ''ki-wi, ki-wi"
The learned name OF this bird Is
apteryx. It has feathers that resem-
lie coarse hairs, and has long bill,
by which it secures its food easily.
It lives on insects and worms, which
it catches on the ground in its night
ly rambles, for this bird only goes
abroad at night and hides during the
day. In size it is about as large as .
goose. the feathers on It's head being
short, but those on the body increas-
ing in length. Altogether. It is q
Queer-looking creature, and as it has
70 little means of defending itself, it
falls an easy prey to larger and
stronger beasts.

q "
There are not many boys or girls,
or grown folks, either, for that mat
ter, who know how the breed names
Of dogs first came into common use.
For instance, the spaniel is socalled
because the first types Of this beauti-
full and intelligent animal arrived in
England from Spain and were called
Spanish dogs.
The beautiful Blenheim spaniel is
ramed after Blenheim palace, where
this dog first was made fashionable
in the time of the great Marlborough.
The King Charles, as might be guess
ed, owes its name to the merry mon
arch.
The skye terrier was originally bred
in the Isle of Skye, and the Scotch
terrier, Of course, in Scotland.
Many other dogs show the original
place Of their breeding or develop
ment by their names, such as the
Great Dane, the Newfoundland, Sibe-
rian bloodhound, and SO on.
The mastiff means "house.dog," no
doubt because of his great strength
and size and ability to guard the
bone.
Poodle means "waddle," although

A Cats Revenge.

A gentleman who was very fond Of
fishing, and who usually caught good
lot of fish, frequently promised his
next door neighbor to give him part
OF his catch. but never fulfilled the
promise. The cat Of the next door
neighbor evidently overheard the
promise and thought the fisherman
ought to be made to keep his word,
for one day when the people Of both
houses had gone out for a little while
she sneaked into the flsherman's
louise, took two fine large trout he
had just caught and laid them on the
kitchen table Of her own mistress.
This lady returning and finding them
there, supposed that her neighbor had
at last kept his promise, so she pro-
ceeded to clean and cook the fish for
the next meal. thanking him, when
sn next saw him for his generosity.
The fisherman Is now trying to find
some secret method Of killing the cat.

It is not answered as easily as you
may at first think. Who can tell what
It will do?

indeed that an elephant sneezes, and
when he does all the Oriental races
