FLAMINGoEs.

Radiant Tropical Birds.

There Are Several Species Of Theac
Radiant Tropical Birds.
There are about seven species OF
flamingoes inhabiting the tropical parts
of both hemispheres. three Of which
are In America, frequenting the Bahia
mas. Florida and Cuba. In height the
bird averages about Ave feet, and If Its
curved neck were stretched to its full
length it would tower above the head
OF an ordinary man. Fiamingoes breed
in May and June. At this period their
bright colored plumage Is faded. 1t as
sumes Its most radiant hucs in winter.
When first Matched, the young have
straight bill, which after time de-
velops into one OF bent shape. Their
first plumage is grayish white and
passes through various tints of pink,
rose, carmine or vermillon to the full
scarlet Of the adult, which reaches its
deepest shade on the wings. Several
years are necessary to perfect the
final gaudy plumage.
The eggs are white, showing blue
tnge when scraped under the surface.
They are long. oval and have thick
shel equaling in size that Of the COM
NOV ycose. The flesh is not palatable
to the taste, being extremely oily.
They feed upon both animal and vege-.
table matter from the ooze and soft
bottoms Of the shallow waters and
lagoons selected by them both as
feeding ground and nesting place.
When flying, their long legs are stretch
ed out behind and the neck becomes
straight. They have peculiar voice

A QUEER COACH ROAD.
Passengers Pay Their Fare and
Work Their Way ms Well

Passengers Pay Their Fare and
Work Their Way ms Well.
In the old days of canal voyaging
captains of boats were not infrequently
asked to give wayfarer lift. The
man was asked il he was willing to
work his passage. If he said Yes he
was put to work driving the horses. In
Europe, it seems, a similar custom Is
practiced on paying coach passengers.
In the Pyrenees there is coach road
between two villages, one on each side
of mountain 5000 feet high. After
the coach has proceeded q little dis
lance and reached the steep part Of the
ascent the conductor begs the passen-
gers to get out so Us to ease the horses.
They are even requested push be-
hind and help the poor animals to drag
the huge vehicle uphill.
When at last the summit is reached
the traveller, wiping from his forehead
drops Of sweat as big as kidney beans,
congratulates himself on the breezy
ride down the steep slopes Of the de-
scent which awaits him.
There is where he makes mistake,
for the conductor, with sweet smile,
begs the gentlemen to be kind enough
to hang on to the coach behind and act
the part of Westinghouse air brake
or else the horses may be injured.
In this manner the terminus Of the
line is reached, the passengers having
pushed the coach all the way up one
side of the mountain and held it back
all the way down the other.
In spite Of this there Is rush for
places on the coach daily, as there has
been for half century.-Spare Mo-
