Do Birds SinGs

A naturalist has written to prove that
birds are not singers. but whistlers:
that is to say. that the notes are pro
duced through a tube-to be technical.
through the slit known as the CLOTHS
not by the help of vocal cords. But the
Whole distinction is beside the point.
Any one who has seen a bird singing
will have seen both the vibrations in
his throat and the variations in the ex-
tent to which he opens and closes his
beak or mandibles; and, given these ac-
compartments. together with the pro-
duction of an inarticulate language,
Whistling and singing become Identical
terms suggesting Il distinction. People
are accustomed to the idea that only a
few species of birds, such as the par
rot and the iackdaw. can be taught.
but in wild life almost all birds are
mim:cs to some extent, and probably
more of them than people realize could
be taught to initiate human Sounds

The first club of modern England
seems to have been the circle at the
Mermaid that Sir Walter Raleigh
founded and Shakespeare joined. But
in the seventeenth century clubs be
gan to spring UP like mushrooms.
There was the Calves Head club,
whose members met and dined off
calves heads to show their contempt
for the decapitated Charles l. Then
came the Kit-Kat club, which, accord
ing to Addison, took its name from a
mutton pie. One Christopher Kat, a
pastry cook Of Shire lane, was a dis
tinguished constructor of mutton pies,
and his productions We're called Kit
kats. The club meeting in his house
and eating his pies acquired the pies
name for its own.--London Telegraph.

Ii German Bride.

AS soon rs & German girl is engaged
she is called bride by her lover, who
continues to call her so until she be-
comes his wife. Immediately on be
trothal the lovers exchange rings,
which are intended to be worn by both
for the rest Of their lives. The woman
wears her ring on her left hand dur
ing her engagement and on her right
afterward. The man continues to wear
bride" and thus one can tell at Il
glance whether a man be free to marry
or not.

Travels of the Cuckoo.

A feature in bird travels is the de-
parture south Of the old and young
cuckoos at a different time. The old
cuckoos set out first, leaving the young
birds of the year to follow. The adult
~cuckoos-one might put it by a stretch
OF imagination-so much dislike the
fuss and anxiety of travelling en-
famille that they take care to go on
first and by themselves. Whether the
old cuckoos ever know their progeny
by sight cannot be said for certain
probably not, although an old cuckoo

Pawnbrokers In China.

Pawnbrokers in China are the bank
ers Of the people and could not be dis
pensed with. The poor Chinaman, I'M
like the poor European, does not wear
his winter clothes until they are fit on
ly to be discarded. When the Chinese
officials order that summer clothing
shall be donned, the poor Chinaman
pawns his winters suit. and with the
proceeds, supplemented by a little cash.
he redeems his previous summer CARL
or buys new attire. Pawnbroking

Soldier, is to the respectable China.

Cuban Diarriioea.

u. S. soldiers who served il
Cuba during the Spanish war know
what this disease is, apd that ordi-

however, that can always be de-

The Public Drinking Gun.

When it is necessary to relieve ones
thirst abroad, if the cup be filled quite
full and placed to the mouth in such
a way that the rim will be about half
an inch below the under lip, one can
drink from the surface of the water.
In this way no part Of the vessel, to
which some particles of poisonous mat
ter may still be clinging, will touch the
delicate skin Of the lip. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the water which
adheres to the mouth and below the
lips should be removed by a handker-
chief and not by the tongue.

in his plans. He will leave here this
