BIRD CUSTOMS.

The Habit of BiIIins and the stock

fed each other, or the male fed the fe-
male, but pleasure came to be expert
enced in the contact alone, and the pas
sage OF food, which was never neces-
sary, gradually became obsolete. I
think 1t by no means improbable that
our own kissing may have originated
In much the same way, and that birds
when thus billing experience the same
sort OF pleasure that we do when we
kiss must be quite obvious to any one
who has watched them"
OF a popularity OF the stock dove Mr..
Selous writes: when these birds fight
they constantly interrupt the flow Of
the combat by bowling in the most alb
surd way, not to one another, but gen
orally, so TO speak, for no object or
purpose whatever, apparently, but only
because they must do so. The fact is
the bow has become a formula of court
ship, and, as counting and fighting are
Intimately connected, the one suggests
the other in the mind of the bird, who

composItlon Of Golf RaIIs.

The first golf balls were made of
leather of untanned bulls hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and a
piece for the middle. These pieces
were softened, shaped and firmly sew
ed together, a small hole being left
through which the feathers might
afterward be inserted. Before stuff
ing the leather sphere was turned
outside in-an operation not without
its dificulties-so that the seams
would be on the inside. The skin was
then placed in a cup-shaped stand,
the worker having the feathers in an
apron before him, and the stufing was
done with a steel rod. The aperture
was then closed, the seam sewed up,
and the only seam showing was this
tiny one. But the life of each ball
was short. At present the balls are
