UNIQUE FEATs ARE TOLD OF
Drummers Get Together and Swap
Fish Stories of Varying Caliber
ALL Are Doubtful.

A group of drummers, having
dined we'll, sat comfortably over
over their coffee and cigars.
The talk turned to the unique
feats, the physical tricks, that
people here and there can do. Ev-
erybOdy, perhaps, has met some
one who can do a trick impossible
to other persons. SO, at least, was
the drummers' case.
Il know a Chicagoan," said the
first, "whO can whistle a tune and
hum its accompaniment at the
same time. He whistles through
a fiat, not through the usual round
hole, and the deep, musical accom-
paniment, together with the shrill
sweetness of the whistle, makes q
mighty attractive thing to hear"
II used to know a barber" said
the second drummer, ".who had an
unique way OF cracking nuts, tie
would place a nut between the
back of his head and a stone OF
brick wall, and then he would give
himself a sharp rap on the fore
head with his fist. The nut would
crack open every time"
"a Manayunk man." said the
third, "can give his head a jerk
that turns back his eyelids. He
has to turn them down again with
his fingers. This is an ugly feat
and Pm glad it is rare"
81 knew at school, said the
fourth drummer, "a boy named
Bucky Adams, who could play
tunes by swapping his fingers. The
thumb and first two fingers of each
hand would work away busily, and
forth would come the dearest
sweetest, faintest music. | used
to sit with Bucky Adams, and
many a tedious school session
would he make shorter and pleas
anter by this odd gift"

Precious Swords.

Perhaps the most precious
sword in existence is that of the
gaekwar of BarOda. Its hilt and
belt are encrusted with diamonds,
rubies and emeralds, and it is val
ued at 100000. The shah of Per.
STA possesses a sword valued al
10000. His father wore it on his
first visit to Europe. There are
some costly swords in India, and
both the car and the sultan pos
s&ss jeweled sabers of great price
Tie most valuable sword in Eng
land is the one presented by the
Egyptians to Lord WOlseley. The
hilt is set with brilliants, and it is
valued at $4,000.

Buffalo calves, as q rule, are born
In April and May. They are active,
vigorous little creatures. mild eyed as
domestic calves, but possessing much
greater strength and endurance. In q
few seconds after birth they can get
on their feet, and In twenty minutes
they are fit to fight for their lives.
Usually 1t is unnecessary for them to
defend themselves at this tender age,
