Strange Songs OF BirdA.

Scott, OF Princeton, continuing
his experiments on the songs OF
yarions species OF birds, during the
past year obtained some nestlings
Of bOholinks and red winged
blackbirds, and reared them
where they could hear the songs of
many other kinds Of birds, but not
the songs Of their own species.
After his birds had grown h.
placed competent judges of birds
songs within hearing, but NOT
within sight Of lin, and askt,.
what the birds were to whose sing
ing they were listening. In no in
stance was the song recognized.
and in the ease of the bobolinks,
In particular. an expert was whoi-
~ unable to form an opinion as to
what birds we're producing the mu-
sic, although the singing was
loud and brilliant.-Youth's Com
panion.

curious customs. One of these is
that widows must not remarry.
No widow in the really Smart set

Collecting These Souvenirs Of Foreign
Travel Is Popular-Eome Beau
tiful Specimens Issued.

To collect hotel folders is the
latest fad. Almost all of the big
hotels Of Europe issue booklets
not only describing the charms OF
their solons and verandas, but Civ
Ing many u curious picture and
quaint legend Of some historic
scene near by. The pictures are
oftcntilnes close likeEesses &c
etchings, and not few are col
ored, SO that on being framed un.
der glass they appear from the
wall to be water color paintings:
says tie New York Tribune.
The collecting of hotel folders
seems to have all the fascination
which many another fad was wont
TO have before il became worn out.
Instead of gathering together the
postage stamps Of various ma.
tons, or tiicater programmes, or
restaurant menus, many a col
lector" is now filling his SCRAP
book with pictures of the pleasure
palaces of England and the con,
tinent.
The booklets, which are sent out
gratuitously by European hotels
to anyone who writes for them.
are sometimes as elaborate as art
magazines. Hotels in Italy md
Switzerland, for example, are
likely to illustrate their folders
with PICTURES Of Italian lakes and
bits Of Alpine mountain scenery.
The lake pictures arc to attract
those fond OF water, and the pie
lures OF the peaks and gorges are
designed to tempt mountain
climbers. Certain hotels of
France, Belgium. Holland, Ger.
many. Austria and Hungary have
way of weaving legends among
more staid geographical data.
For example, a table, Of statistics
concerning railroad rates and
time tables will follow a story of
some brave crusader and his
sweetheart. who became nun ere
his return. The ancient fable will
be made more real by pictures OF
a crumbling tower where the low
crs first met, or ruined window
whore they babe each other last
farewell.
Hotels in Great Britain reflect
much OF the life of city or county
in their folders. A house W II FUR

corridors and apartments sketch

neighborhood. or, perchance, the
portrait of a famous man who was
