Bird harncteristfcS.

Among all the birds of this country
the hawk and parrot come the nearest
to using their feet like hands. Wading
birds and scratching birds develop q
very large foot. Birds that are in the
air most of the time have much more
delicate feet than those that are on the
ground frequently. The variety of bills
is quite as astounding as that of the
claws. The hook on the end Of the bill
almost always denotes a bird of prey.
Flat bills denote fly catching birds
kingfshers, herons, etc. The meadow
lark that is much on the ground has
strong, stout legs, and the oriole, which
is more in the air, has slender legs.
The stiffened tail is not confined to
wOodpeckers and chimney swifts, but
the bObolink that clings to the long
grass has also stiffened tail feathers to
help support the bird upright.

Whimsical Criminals.

In the New Zealand Medical Journal
appears this story: On walking to the
scaffold in solemn procession a crimi-
nal once called to the governor Of the
prison, "Just oblige me. guv'nor, by
telling me the day O the week" Mon.
day." answered the surprised governor.
Monday! answered the prisoner il
disguised tones. well, this 'eres fine
way of beginning week, amt it?''
And he marched on with dissatisfac-
ton imprinted on every line of his
face.
On another occasion an officious
hangman whispered as he placed the
white cap on his victims head, eff
there's anything you'd like to ask me
I'll be pleased to answer" The victim
craned his neck forward and said in
an equally low but very much more
anxious voice, "You might tell me, is
is this scaffold safe?"

No Time For Fools.

When George Westinghouse, as q
Eoung inventor, was trying to interest
capitalists in his automatic brake, the
aevice which now plays so important a
part in the operation of railroad trains,
he wrote a letter to Commodore Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, president of the New
York Central Railroad company, care
fully explaining the details of the in
vention. Very promptly his letter came
back to him, Endorsed in big, scrawling
letters, in the hand of Commodore
Vanderbilt, II have no time to waste
on fools"
Afterward, when the Pennsylvania
railroad had taken up the automatic
brake and it was proving successful,
Commodore Vanderbilt sent young Mr.
Westinghouse request to call on him
The inventor returned the letter, in.
dorsed on the bottom as follows: Il
have no time to waste on fools. Sue.

1t Is the Mind That Sees.

How do we see? Did you ever chance
to think? have asked quite number
of people lately, and they reply: with
our eyes, of course. How elseT' or
words to that effect. Did you ever real
ize how much of our vision is mental?
We see nothing properly and definitely
until the mind lends its perception.
We may gaze steadfastly at picture,
yet be unable to see anything but a
confused mass Of color, because the
mind is seeing faces and scenes thou
sand miles away perhaps. GU the
mental vision back, and the figures CT.
the canvas take their proper places. At
once we see the picture. Or shut your
eyes. Can you not see the faces of
those you love or hate as clearly as
you ever saw them with the physical
means of sight? How many times one
glances at his watch, yet when asked
the time as he replaces it in his pocket
is unable to tell simply because he
looked only with the eyes and not with
the mind also.--Exchange

The streets of the old city Of Venice
were often extremely thick in mud, in
spite of the great sewers which dated
from the tenth century. Even now
the thoroughfares between the Piazza
and Rialto are sometimes sufficiently
bad. We are writing of the time when
the population was nearly five times
what it now is, and when Venetian
trade was at it's zenith. Well, to COM
bat this mud the ladies took to high
heeled shoes.
AS the mud grew worse the heels
became taller and taller until at length
they We're half yard high and as diff
cult to control as a pair Of stills with
out handles. The consequence was
that a lady in full dress, obliged to
walk but a few yards, had to be sup
ported on both sides. This was a task
for the black pages or for the lovers,
who had at that time become very
conventional part of Venetian society.

Music In japan.

Music in the eyes of the Japanese is
a very inferior art, the general belief
being that the combination of sounds
may possibly please women and chill
dren, but that japanese gentleman
could not possibly tolerate them, no
matter under what pretext. In fact it
was not very long ago that the profess
sion of musician was considered by the
Japanese as being an insult to human
dignity, and. whereas there have eX-
listed for centuries popular songs which
water carriers and the workers in the
rice fields sang in chorus as well as
war songs sung by the sailors, the pro-
fession of musician has been considered
unworthy of any man and has been eX-
clusively left with the women, it being
largely for the purpose of clearly char
acterizing and accentuating her in
feriority that she has been allowed to
exercise her aptitudes and tastes in
musical compositiOns.-Publ Opinion.

Dimensions of Noah's Ark.

within recent years." says the ed
itor of the Syren and Shipping, 1.-The
general dimensions Of the ark have
been closely followed by cargo steam
ship builders for deep sea and the
American great lakes service. Accord
ing to the Bible, the ark was $50 feet
long, so feet wide and As feet deep.
Her tonnage was 11,413, and she had
plenty of room for pairs of all the dis
tinct species of animals that are class
cd by Buffon-244-and she could have
accommodated a thousand persons and
then have plenty of room for the stor-
age of supplies. In the seventeenth
century Peter Jansen, a Hollander,
built a vessel OF the exact proportions
Of the ark, and she was successful, as
records of the times show, in making
money for her owners. Noah, the ia
Their of naval architecture, is held in
profound respect by naval architects
of today, who know how immeasurably
the PhGnicians, Greeks and Romans
and all other shipbuilders fell short of
the excellence Of the type Of the ark as
a commodious, safe and economical
vessel

Old Italian In Corsica.

The Italian who travels in Corsica
is delighted to hear almost everywhere
around him the obsolete expressions
and examinations of Dante, while even
the Englishman unacquainted with
the Comedy" is surprised at the
sound Of Latin words which he thought
had fallen entirely into oblivion. such
as "Nimo" for "Nessuno" and "Greve"
for "PeSante," or with LatiniZed forms
of current words, such as "Piuva' for
"Pioggia," ''Ista" for 'Questa" and
'Ejo" for 40"
The Corsican, however, is an older
Italian than that even Of the medi-
aeval poet. it is less specialized on
the whole than his, having points Of
contact with the other dialects, par
ticularly those Of Calabria and Sicily,
and with the literary languages OF
Spain and Portugal Studies In Cor
sica."

Some Misnamed Drugs.

Some misnomers Of the drug store:
Oil of vitrol is not an oil. Copperas is
an iron salt and contains NO copper.
Salts of lemon has nothing to do with a
lemon, but it is a salt of the extremely
poisonous oXalic acid. Soda water con-
tains no soda. Sulphuric ether contains
no sulphur. Sugar of lead has nothing
to do with lead, nor has cream of tar
tar anything to do with cream. Oxy-
gen means the ''acid generator" but by
drogen is really the essential element,
and many acids contain oxygen. Ger
man silver contains 10 silver, and
blacklead contains no lead. Berberine
is usually made from hodrastis cana
densis. Wormseed is uneXpanded
flower buds. Milk Of lime has no milk.
Quicksilver is purely mercury. Oil of
origanum is made from thyme and not
from origanum.

A Valuable Tooth.

William Archer in the Fortnightly
Review, tells an amusing story of the
economy practiced and necessary in
the early days Of the Norwegian thea
ter at Bergen. 1t was in 1910, when
Ibsen and Bjornson were creating the
national drama. A lady had been en-
gagged for the part of second old wo-
man" when it was discovered that her
evolutionary powers were impaired by
the fact that she had lost one Of her
front teeth. Impoverished as she was,
the management came to the rescue
and bore the expense Of the necessary
dentistry. When she retired, however
after two seasons, she had to leave the
tooth behind her, the example Of the
dentists art being the property of the
theater. The management was too
poor to part with it!

The Name California.

The word California was first used
in a work on Spanish chivalry pub
lished in 1910. This work was an al
legged history of the adventures Of
"Amadis of Gaul and his son Esplan-
DIAM" It was Of great length and di-
vided into a great number of short sto-
ries, one Of which was the manner in
which "Califa, the queen of the island
of California, country inhabited only
by women, who lived as amazons and
had gold without end" saved Constan-
tinople from an attack by the Persians.
This story as we'll as others was wide
~ read by the people of Spain and by
many regarded as fact. Among the
stanch believers were the members of
the Cortes expedition, who upon land
ing upon the peninsula of Lower Cali
fornia imagined that they were on an
island, which owing to it's apparent
riches they named after the tabled isle,
and Cortes himself called the new
country "California."

Kelvin and Figures.

Most of the stories about Lord Kel-
vim which obtain in Glasgow are found
ed ur.on the occasional in; bility OF the
great man who lisped in 'ogarithrls to
bring his mind to a childish sum
The famous one tells how on his
blackboard he once made two and two
five and, hearing the chuckles of his
delighted class, altered it hastily to
three He was, however, once heard to
say, in his characteristic slow way,
with his beautiful use of the soft Irish
r: "Seven times nine. Mr.. Mac-far-lane,
are hundred and what? Pause But
no; seven times nine cannot be hun
dred and anything, Mr.. Mac-far-lane,
for the square root of hundred is
ten
1t is also told of him that, walking
one day with friend in Largs, he no
ticed that it had begun to rain. He
questioned his friend closely as to
where his coat and umbrella were, and
having satisfied himself that his friend
had not these articles with him he
said, well, in that case, doctor, we
will walk back beneath this belt of
trees, for the rain will not per-co-late
the leaves, doctor, for twenty min

When Kisses Were Frequent.

It has long been known to ethnol-
ogists that among many primitive
tribes and races the practice Of kissing
was unknown. Among the Lapps and
the Maoris rubbing of noses occupied
it's place. The average native of Japan
still knows nothing of the practice Of
kissing.
The practice of lip to lip salutation
was especially characteristic of Eng
lish social life in Tudor times. Its uni
versal employment was one of the
things noticed Dy Erasmus during his
sojourn in England and is thus com
mented on in one of his "Epistolae:"
Here are girls with angels faces, so
kind and obliging that you would pre-
fer them to all your muses.. Besides.
there is a custom here never to be suf-
fciently commended. Whenever you
come you are received with kiss by
all; when you take your leave, you are
dismissed with kisses; you return,
kisses are repeated. They come to
visit you, kisses again; they leave you,
you kiss them all round. Should they
meet you anywhere, kisses in abun-
dance. In fine, wherever you move,
there is nothing but Kisses"

Two SuuerStitiOns.

"Spilling the SALT and the ill omen
that attaches to it are traceable to the
last supper of Christ with his apostles,
when it is said that Judas accidentally
overturned the salt. Because of the
after doom of the unfortunate traitor
to spill the salt at table is an accepted
sign of future ill luck to happen to the
person doing it.
Thirteen at table" and it's unlucky
significance originated at this event
also. Christ and his twelve apostles
dining together for the last time COM
posed the number that has since been
regarded with superstitious aversion,
not only in the matter of dining, but
in almost everything else as WE'LL
What to Eat.

Jananese Fencing.

The Japanese sword is usually WELD
ed with both hands. The cutting plays
a much larger part in their sword play
than the thrust and point. They also
fence with two swords at once, the
long, two handed weapon being held
in the right hand, while the left uses
the shorter and lighter blade. The
fencer stands with his right foot for
ward and his sword held in both hands
directly in front of him, it's hilt at
about the level Of his waist, it's point
being at nearly the level of his oppo-
nent'S eyes.

The Eye of a Pianist.

A pianist has to cultivate the eye Sc
as to see 1900 signs in one minute, the
fingers to make 1000 movements and
as we'll as direct all these movements.
In playing Webers "Moto Perpetuo''
a pianist has to read 4,541 notes in less
than four minutes, or about nineteen
a second, but the eye can receive only
about ten consecutive impressions a
second, so that in quick music it seems
that a player does not see every note
singly, but in groups, probably a bar
or more at one view.
