Antics of the Rocks When the Mat
ing Season Begins.

1T is always amusing to watch the
says an English writer. "When the
male bird first begins to seek Il mate
The fact is soon In2ile known to the
world at large by curious hoarsening
Of his voice. There Is no accounting for
tastes, according to an old proverb,
md to the female rook there is no mu
sic equal to the hoarseness that her
lord begins to show about the middle
Of January. Then begin the violent
tournaments of which she is passive
spectator. The two claimants for her
favor often begin pecking at one an
other at the very tops of the trees, and
as in the fury of their onslaught they
lose foothold they drop and drop and
drop till they bump against the ground,
often at the very feet of some human
onlooker who has been watching their
proceedings with interested curiosity.
Darwin tells US Of similar incidents in
the life history Of deer and cites as
doctrine of the survival of the fitteSt
that while two lordly and robust stays
are fighting for the hind it will often
happen that a timid and feeble third
stag will come in and carry off the
prize
But no such caprciousness as that
is allowed the female roOk. Probably
before the battle begins he who aspireS
to be her future lord and master has
selected the home in which they are to
live, and should any other rook at
tempt to share it with her he will fight
him to the death. In this case the sur
vival of the titteSt is insured.
when once they'are mated the rocks
seem to stick together and be subject
to little further molestation, though Oc-
casionally, think, gay Lothario will
attempt to make love where he ought
not to. But in that case the whole col
ony Of rocks unite against him and
peek and hou, him with their wings till
he is at the pat of DEATH

FREAKS OF STUDENTS.
Promenade Without Hats and Walk Upon
the Wet Grass Barefoot.

The Yale students have adopted 4
new fad this year. 1t is promep2ding
up and down Chapel street and about
the different Few I.ayen thoToughtares
without hats or head covering of any
kind. 1t is the upper class men and So
ciety men chiefly ho are making them
selves thus conspicuous.
1t is a common occurrence on pleas
ant morning to meet five or six men
walking together through the shop
ping district of the town, to all appear
ances perfectly unconscious that they
are attracting attention. Last year the
students, with the first blush of sum-
mer, conceived the idea of wearing
tremendous farmerlike straw hats. 1t
became such fad that the shopkeep-
ers had a special supply sent to them
from the manufacturers. They were
hats of the kind usually kept by the
country grocer, and until the students
took them up were never found in the
swell shops.
Another recently adopted fad of this
season among the students is that of
taking off their shoes and stockings
after rain storm, and, with their
trousers turned up above the enkles,
wading about in the grass back of the
churches on the preen in the center of
the town.

SHE WAS NOT A PURITAN.

Belied Her Thirst.

Her Expression Was Severe, but II
Belied Her Thirst.
In the seat opposite me in the rail-
way coach was woman who looked
to be forty-f1ve years of age, and as I
glanced at her occasionally and noticed
her severe expression I set her down
for person with puritanical views on
the subject Of intoXicants and one who
would scorn the slightest favor at the
hands Of traveller. Great was my
surprise, therefore, at the end of a
couple of hours and when we had been
left the only passengers in the coach,
to see her lean forward and hear her
pleasantly ask:
young man, might ask If you have
any peppermint essence in your grip?"
replied that l was sorry l hadn't,
and she resumed her bolt upright posi-
ton, and nothing further was said for
quarter Of an hour; then she kindly
asked:
Young man, do you carry the means
to make glass Of lemonade when you
travelT'
l didn't. 1 was sorry for her sake
that l didn't; but, as a matter Of fact,
[ didn't care for lemonade. She said
it was just as WE'LL and another fifteen
minutes passed. Then she. smiling
said:
Young man, perhaps you carry a
bottle Of milk or cold tea?'
Sorry to say l don't, ma'am."
"Do you mean to say that you do not
carry any kind of a bottleY
''Well-er-yOu know
Say, sir" she continued as she look

Never mind what it's in case Of, but
hand it right over. I've sat here for
three long hours with my throat as dry
as bone and you haven't had the
chiyalry to ask me to take a nip"
AS l sat down beside her and she
took nip she said that l might call
her Aunt Polly and that her severe ex-
preston was only the result Of sitting
up nights with a sick COW, and during
the remainder Of my journey she beat
me twelve games Of euchre and said

GERMANY'S AR BATHS.
New Fad That Is Being Followed
by the FashiOnabIes of
Berlin.

"Air baths" are all the rage in
fashionable Berlin just now. We
all know what necessary factors
light and air are for the mainte-
nance of health. The Berlin air
baths have the great advantage of
being pleasant as well as healthy,
and many Of the society ladies Of
the German capital have taken them
up. The scenes now reproduced were
photographed at the Berlin insti-
tute, which started this open air
idea, and which has already become
famous both in Europe and Amer
lea, says Golden Penny.
Even the tiniest children are taken
to these baths" as well as young
girls and more elderly ladies.
The main object, of course, is to
exercise both the muscles and the
lungs at the same time, and the
nondescript kind of bathing dress
which is worn allows the ladies a
delightful sense of freedom while
practicing their gymnastic feats or
PLAYING at gardening in the grounds.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
the garden is kept as secluded as
possible Surrounded by high walls,
it is situated in a quiet locality just
outside the city.

WHY INDIANS PAINT.
An Apache Legend Which Accounts
For the GrOtesuue Custom.


Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why the people
painted their faces, told this little leg
end:
Long ago, when men were weak and
animals were big and strong, chief
of the red men who lived in these
mountains went out to get a deer, for
his people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw a
deer and shot at it, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt the sting of the ar
row he jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
'He was almost exha austed, and when
he felt his strength giving way he fell
to the ground, calling on the big bear,
who, you know, is the grandfather of
men, to save him.
1.-The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, 50 he scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man.
Now, you know that no animal will
50 whom the lion approached the man
he smelled of the blood and turned
away, but as he did 50 bis foot scraped
the face Of the nan, leaving the marks
Of his claws On the blood smeared
face.
when the man found that he was
uniniured he was so thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it at all, but left it until
II peeled OH.
"Whorc the claws of the lion scrapel
it off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the blood
stayed on it was lighter. Now all men
paint their faces that way with blood
and scrape it Oft in streaks when they
hunt or 60 TO war"

THE DREAMERS.
- Making Their Visions Practical
They Achieved Success.

If Columbus had not dreamed Of con-
ineuts Oh the other side of the ocean
10 balance the lands that were known:
If Cyrus w. Field had not dreamed Of
a cable for communicating across the
ocean, If Professor Alexander q. Bell
had not dreamed of the possibilities Of
talking across continents by the tele
phone; if Elias Howe had not dreamed
that there was an easier way for wom
eli to do their sewing; If Robert Fulton
had not dreamed that the ClermOnt
could sail up the Hudson, although the
world doubted and ridiculed him; If all
the people who have given the world a
lift by emancipating 1t from drudgery
through their dreaming and discovery
of a thousand ameliorating appliances
and inventions, civilization would be Ia
its infancy today.
Oh, how much we owe to the dream
ers. But all these people made their
dreams practical They reduced them
to realities before they were of any
use. Go on dreaming. go on building
YOUR air castles, let the Imagination
have free wings to soar into the un-
known, but come back with something
tangible. Make your dreams practical
realities or they will be worthless

To Restore the Sphinx.

A project is on foot in Alexandria for
restoring the Sphinx, near the Great
Pyramid OF Ghizeh. to its original con-
dition. Thick layers of soil completely
cover the head of the monument, while
the lower parts are greatly obscured by
accumulations of sand. 1t is proposed to
clear all these accumulationsa away and to
clean the head completely. When the
work has been completed the Sphinx will
once more appear, If not in its first
freshness, at least in the grandeur of its
original proportions.

Chinese Fish Farming

Those ever-1ngenious people, the Chi
nese, are great at fish farming, and one
of their little lodges for Matching young
fish is most ingenious. Taking a fresh
egg, they suck the contents through a
tiny hole and refill the egg with tiny
eggs Of the fish they want to hatch. The
hole is then sealed up and the egg placed
under sitting hen. In a very few days
the fish ova are so far advanced that one
has only to break the shell into mod
erately warm water and the little fish
