Phantom Doves.

A man who had been at work in
shoe factory in Maine set a hen one
day. He was told that he eggs were
'bantams,'' and he always was fond of
bantams. cit don't take scarcely moth
ing to feed en- said he, land I'm
much obliged to YOU And the young
fellows in the same room in the shoe
factory, who gave him the eggs, smiled
among themselves. The eggs Matched
and then the devoted bantam raiser
hung over the chicks" in rapture.
They were the most awful specimens
of bantamS, though, that he ever saw.
They were the lankeSt and most in
significant and nakedeSt and fuzziest
birds he ever met in all his existence.
Seems to me- proffered he, the next
day, as he stood at his work, that
them's mighty queer bantams. 1 kind
of think they're some new breed
something sort of original, you know.
Such things does happen" The boys
in the shop agreed, without much urg-
ing, to come up and see them. They
came in ones and twos and threes and
squads, and filed the hen house and
focked his premises, and after they
had all got there they gave the hen
fancier the bottom of the plot. They
had given him a setting of doves
eggs.

The Great Wall of China.

China aboundS in great walls re,
marks a Pekin correspondent in a re-
cent letter to Our Dumb Animals;
walled country, walled cities, walled
villages, walled palaces and temples
wall after wall and wall within wall.
But the greatest of all is the great wall
of China, built 213 years before our
era,, of great slabs of well-hewn stone
feet high, and then topped out with
large, hand-burned brick. the ramparts
high and thick and castellated for use
of arms. 1t was built TO keep the war
like Tartars out-twenty-five feet high
by forty feet thick, 200 miles long,
with room on top for six horses to be
ridden abreast. For 1,400 years it
kept those hordes at bay, in the main,
and is just as good and firm and
strong as when put in place. How
one feels while standing on this vast
work scrutinizing its old masonry, its
queer old cannon and ambitious sweep
along the mountain crest. In speech
less awe we strolled or sat and gaZed
in silent wonder. Twelve hundred
miles of this gigantic work. built on
the rugged. craggy mountain tops.
vaulting over gorges. spanning wild
streams, netting the river archways
with huge, hard bars of copper; with
double gates and swinging doors and
bars set thick with iron armor-a
wonder in the world. before which
the old-time classic seven wonders,
all gone now, save the great pyramids,
were toys.

washinoton,s SIGNATURE.

In writing his signature Washington
put his pen to the paper five times.
First he wrote the G. w. in ones con-
nected line: second he raised his hand
and made the small o between the up
per part of the G.. and Wand the two
dots: third. his hand and arm were
placed IN a position to write ASKING.
these six letters occupying a breadth
of almost exactly one and three-Quar-
tiers inches. This is about as much of
the arc of A circle (of which the center
is the elbow pivoted on the tablet as
one with a forearm of average length
can cause to coincide with the tan
gent, or the straight line across the
paper which the lower part of the let
tiers follow, unless unusual effort is
made, and a great deal more move
ment be given to the fingers. The 6
ends in a curved flourish, of which the
convex side is turned upward below
the right center of the name. Fourth
he wrote the final ton; fifth, he added
the very peculiar flourish above the
right center of the name, with the OBJ
ject of dotting the and crossing the I
at the same stroke.
