Dancing Birds Of Laysan.

Sailors visiting the islands of Lay
san, in the Hawaiian group, are great
ly amused by the curious antics of the
Laysan albatross, or gony. These birds
sometimes perform in pairs kind of
dance, or, as the sailors call it, "cake-
walk" Two albatrosses approach each
other, nodding and making profound
bows, cross their bills, produce snap
ping and groaning sounds, rise on their
toes, puff out their breasts, and finally
part with more nodding, and bowling,
only to come together again and re-
peat the performance. Occasionally
three engage at once in this singular
amusement.

STRADDlING A DIFFICULTY.

S~~~~ScS~SNSNN~~~~SN
It seemed as if the oaks on the acres
that Uncle Levi Larkins had cultivated
for a lifetime had lent to the old man
all their finest qualities of strength and
straightforward nobility. His most sa-
uent trait was an absolute honesty in
every attitude Of life. His uncompro-
missing candor cropped out in most un-
expected places.
Visiting in the city, Uncle Levi seem
ed rather out Of place; there were no
trees nor fields of grain in the fat. But
he was still Uncle Levi in any environ
ment.
Seated at the desk, writing postal
card, he appeared to be troubled.
Gust come here minute, will you,
Fanny?" he appealed to grandniece.
Fanny hurried to his side.
"Fm writing a postal to Lil-that's
Mrs. Peterson, my wife's niece's daugh-
ter, who lives just across the road
from us. l want her to know We'll
be home Wednesday, SO she'll start a
fire in the furnace. l can't say, Dear
Mrs. Peterson'-it wouldn't seem right,
coming from me- l want to say, Dear
ILL., but someway it don't seem just
right to put Dear Liz on postal card,
now does it 2"
He smiled a deprecating little smile,
and with suspended pen awaited Fan
ny's suggestion.
Deep down, Fanny was conscious of
her amusement over this dilemma of
the dear old man; but being girl of
quick sympathies, she saw his desire
to find some way of conforming to his
notion of what was due to the formal
ity of correspondence, and she bent
her mind to the problem.
Couldn't you say Dear Lilian?'"
Mo- Uncle Levi was conclusive
there. "Shes been Lii ever since she
was so high. l won't write any Lii
lam
ooh, I'll tell your Fanny's mission
In life was to smooth over things for
people, and she beamed now in the
agreeable consciousness of performing
her customary graceful function. "Just
begin your card Dear L. for that
stands either for Lii, or for Lillian
"Um" Uncle Levi turned sharply
In his chair and resumed his pen
Fanny, feeling his withdrawal and
knowing that she was for some reason
summarily dismissed, started bewilder-
ed at his forbidding shoulder. Then it
dawned upon her that she had advised
the sturdy old man to what he regard
ed as a double course. She fled into
the next room laughing, but conscience
stricken. 20 mother" she cried, after
telling her story, you've all told me
that have SO much tact, and I've been
proud of it, but what is tact, anyway,
and am really untruthful? He's made
me feel like Ananias and Sapphirav'
Meantime Uncle Levi, having seen
the deceitfulness of hoping for outside
help, was manfully graphing with his
problem-how to combine a decent re-
respect for the formality of postal-card
correspondence with an honorable adj
herence to the wholesome facts of ev-
ery-day life.
And he solved his problem in what
Fanny called truly Levitical' fashion.
The postal card began thus: Dear Lii
Peterson. Youths Companion.

anything else, and no serious apprehen-

somewhat by his teammates. This is
Morgan's second year at the head of

came as fitting reward for the arduous
