Licked Into shape.

The phrase clicked into shape" owes
its origin to a very ancient fable. In
Bailey's "Ovid's Metamorphoses," fa-
bic 80 has this heading: "Bears bring
forth lump of flesh ana by licking
reduce it to a proper shape" This ira
dition that the cubs Of bears are cast
shapeless and remain 50 till the dam
has licked them into proper form is
emphasized In Pope's "Dunciad:" "

THE FLAMINGO ATHOME.

Observation Has Proved That Both
I. Male md Female Incubate.
Apparently two factors enter into the
hamingoes' type of architecture they
must build where there is mud and at
the same time erect a structure high
enough to protect its contents from
any normal rise in the water due to
tides or rainfall. ..
After watching nesting colony Of
famingoes in the Bahamas for NEARLY
an hour" at distance of $50 yards
Sir Henry Blake stated that the fe-
males sat upon the nests, while the
males stood up together, evidently near
by. My dissections, however, showed
that both sexes incubate, while contin-
ued observation from the tent revealed
the presence Of only one bird of the
pair in the rookery at the same time.
The bird on the nest was relieved late
In the afternoon and early In the morn
ing. ;, The one, therefore, which incu-
bated during the day fed at night, and
his or her place was taken by another
which had been feeding during the
day, or, as Peter put it, II do t'ink,
sir, dat when de lady fillymingo leave
de nest den de gentleman fillymingo
take her place, sir; yes, SIR"
Morning and evening, then, there was
much activity in the rookery. Single
girds or files Of as many as fifty were
almost constantly arriving and depart
ing. coming from and radiating to ev-
cry point Of the compass.
Flamingoes in fight resemble no 9TH
er bird known to me. With legs and
neck fully .outstretched and the COM
paratively small wings set halfway be-
tween bill and toes, they look as if they
might fly backward or forward with
equal ease. They progress more rapid
~ than heron and when hurried fly
with singular serpentine motion Of

Men Who stop 20 Admire Themselves
In show windows. EN9
Speaking Of the trifling affairs Of
life, said a clerk in one 81, the big
stores, I'm not SO sure that men are
90 much when you come to compare
them with women, although they pre-
tend to rise superior on occasions.. I've
q notion that human nature Is about
the same in both sexes, after all, and
It crops up In some way. You know
there's d theory that q woman couldn't
pass a mirror without giving a glance
at herself IL she were on her way to
rescue her only child from burning
accident. ,:5.>E:r
1T may not always be vanity, Of
course. Perhaps it's force Of habit.
Well, you'd be surprised, at. the num-
Der Of men who have that same habit
I'm here at counter in front, where l
can see some things, and it's better
than q poor play to watch the faces at
that big show window. They are
mems faces I'm talking about. The
light strikes that window so that it
makes pretty good looking glass of
1t, and I'm truthful when tell you
that it holds up as many hes as it does
shes in the course Of day. The only
difference Is that the woman makes no
bones Of what she's doing. She'll give
aStwirl to her front hair and a pull to
her veil and make sure that her hat
and nose are on straight, and she
doesn't care whether passersby are on
to her game or not. But the man
plays of. He wants you to- suppose
that it's the display Of goods that's
caught him. Yes, it is, I guess not.
He's wrapped up in velvets at 81 a
yard and in silks cheap at 70 cents,
he is. You can tell from where stand
that he doesn't see thing that's in
that window except his own beautiful
reflection. He'll study the effect of his
scarf and his gloves, and then he'll
look lower down, where there are no
goods, and step out a little to get the
cut of his trousers and Shoes, And
very often he'll put on that look pleas
ant expression the photographer asks
you to wear that makes a driveling
idiot Of you In the picture. There is no
great harm in it provided the men are
in no great hurry and have nothing
better to do, but when hear them
loftily discussing mirrors in connection
with their wives have to smile to my
self. "-Providence Journal.

THE LOSS is $33,25O.
Burned Portion of State Normal Valued
at $65,50O.

Governor Aycock, who got back from
Greensboro yesterday morning, says that
temporary arrangements have been made
for about one hundred students who were
burned out of the dormitory. but over one
hundred girls will be compelled to return
to their homes because of the lack Of
accommodations for them. There will re-
main in the college for the rest of this
term between three and four hundred
students.
Insurance Commissioner Young, who is
Just back from trip to Wilmington, Will
son and Goldsboro, said yesterday evening
that the dormitory of the State Normal
was valued at $4,000, and its contents at
$1,000. The value of the Mechanical
Building, he said, which was also burned
was $4,000, and its contents $500. The
dormitory building had the kitchen and
the dining room annexed to it, and the
Mechanical Building had the laundry and
the steam and electric light plant annexed
The total value of the insurable plant
said Commissioner Young, was 1881 600
On this there is insurance of $90,55O, a
trife over one-haf distributed among
eighteen companies. The total loss was
$65. 500 and the total amount of insurance
upon this is 1872 $50, or nearly one half.
Commissioner Young will go to Green's

Sheriff Page Started 1t.

Sheriff Page says he is the man who
first gave tongue to the fact that people
are slower to pay their taxes in prosper
Gus years than in bad ones. He explains
it by saying that in hard years people
are very particular to first pay the debts
that they must pay beyond doubt. When
these are off their hands they feel easier
and can economic wherever they will.
But in plenteous years they feel that they
have the money in their pockets to pay
when they please, and are in no hurry
about it, as they will have no trouble in
paying.
The popular sheriff of Wake says that
in 1901, the geat rainy year, he was
ready to resign his Office, as he did not
see how he could possibly collect the
taxes, but the Treasurer told him to go
ahead and collect what he could collect,
anyway And he collected more money,
and easier, that year than any he could
remember.
