Do Bird. Enjoy Their own Singing, !,

Do Birds Enjoy Their own Singing
1t may well be doubted If birds are
musical connoisseurs or have anything
like human appreciation of their own
or of each others songs My reason
for thinking so is this: 1 have heard a
bobolink with a defective instrument
so that its song was broken and in
articulate in parts, and yet it sang with
as much apparent joy and abandon as
any of its fellows. 1 have also heard
a hermit thrush with similar defect
or impeachment, and yet it, too, appear
ed to sing entirely to its own satisfac-
ton. Il would be very interesting to
know if these poor singers found mates
as readily as their more gifted broth
ers. If they did the Darwinian theory
of sexual selection" in such matters,
according to which the finer songster
would carry off the female, would fall
to the ground. Yet it is certain that ii
Is during the mating and breeding sea-
son that these "song combats' occur,
and the favor of the female would
seem to be the matter in dispute.
Whether or not it be expressive of
actual jealousy or rivalry, we have no
other words to apply to it.-John Bur
roughs in Harper's Magazine.

Kit Carson,s Rifle.

1t is perhaps not known to all the
world that the rifle of Kit Carson, the
great western hunter, scout and ex-
plorer, is carefully preserved and may
be seen by those who know its where
abouts. At the time of Kit Carson's
death he left this rifle to Montezuma
lodge, f. and A. NJ, of Santa Fe, N.
NJ, in whose charge it has remained
ever since, an object of great interest
and very highly priced by all members
of that society.
Montezuma lodge is one of the Oldest
organizations of that nature west of
the Missouri river. 1t was organized
as long ago as 1S49, Mt which time the
ancient town of Santa Fe was lust be-
ginning to take in part the color of the
western bound Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton. Fremont's first trip to the Rocky
mountains was made i'll 1S42. There
were few white men in all that part of
the west at the time of the founding of
Montezuma lodge, but Kit Carson was
one Of these early members. To his
brothers of the society he left what
may have been one of his most cherish
ed possessions.-Fi and Stream.

The Rocking Chair In the Dark,

Although the name Of the man who
invented the American rocking chair
has been lost to us in the mists of time,
it is considered highly probable that
new arrivals on registering in the here
after will be able to see it emblazoned
on the scroll of fame in letters Of brim-
stone and surrounded by an asbestus
wreath of laurel. This is the view
shared by all who have encountered an
American rocking chair in the dark.
A rocking chair may be the instrument
whereby weary persons attain comfort;
it may be the joy of the f1ippant youth
and the solace of blase age in the day
time or when the gas is burning, but
by some miraculous agency it changes
its nature completely when darkness
falls, becoming an instrument where
by the ruler Of evil recruits his corps
Of coal shoveling 1mps. No longer,
when night falls, it is a padded bit
of furniture. 1t is composed wholly of
rockers, and the rockers are composed
entirely Of sharp ends which fly forth
and strike the shin for choice with
devilish accuracy of aim. This is one
of the wonders of modern life which
so far Is inexplicable-San Antonio
Tex.) Express.

Doctor and Dying Patient.

In an address before the American
Medical association an eminent physi-
clan, speaking on the question, "Shall
a Physician Tell Patient He Is Going
to Die" said:
'The truth is not always so alarming
to the patient, painful as it often is to
the physician. In fact, it seems to me
this is one part of our duties that does
not become less trying with increasing
experience. To the sick man whose
thoughts have been turned toward the
end longer than others suspect, intima-
ton Of a fatal end often brings no
shock, but rather relief from the end
ing Of a painful uncertainty. Accord
ing to the rulers Of the Roman Catholic
church a timely announcement should
always be given, and those who have
witnessed the last days of members of
this faith can confirm the statement that
good often follows, speaking merely
from a medical standpoint, and rarely
harm, while the same thing is true Of
many of other faiths or of no faith.
Even where we have to give q fatal
prognosis there are certain notifying
influences that can be introduced, aside
from those that spring from tender
heart. A hope can be expressed based
on the fallibility Of human knowledge
in general and medical knowledge in
particular"

Shakespeare ms an A~,-.

About the year 1890 one of the Lon
don companies received an addition in
the person of a young man who was
not only a skillful and useful actor, but
who also possessed the accomplish
ment of being able to adapt older plays
to the taste of the times, and even
proved to have the gift of writing toll
erably good plays himself, though older
and jealous colleagues might hint at
their not being altogether original.
This young man, whose capacities be-
came of no slight use to the company
and the theater, was named William
