The average man. If he hal q

thirty to thirty-one pounds OF food a
day, which would be tax on the lar

Recent experiments have proved
that the average bird manages to eat

time during the day, and manages
to get his full rations.
The smaller the bird, the more vo-
racious seems to be its appetite and
its power of absorption. A German
scientist recently kept canary under
observation for a month. The little
creature weighed only sixteen grams,
but in the course Of the month II
managed TO eat 512 grams weight Of
food that is, about thirty-two times
its own weight. The bird must
therefore have eater its own weight

A DETAIL HE ovERLooKED.
But the Girl Companion Was Quick
10 See II.

1T is said that women live in
world OF little things,' said the
young man. Certain it is, the way
they watch out for the details is a
constant source Of wonderment to a
mere man, especially when those de-
tails enter into another woman's
makeup.
Il was coming down town in the
Subway with young lady friend the
other evening when a remarkably
pretty girl glided in at the Circle sta,
tion and sat down exactly opposite

companions interesting talk, but to
save my life could not keep my
eyes on the girl opposite. She was
simply exquisite-that is the only
word to apply TO her. My companion
did not seem to notice my inatten.
tion and talked steadily on, but out
of the corner Of my eve l saw that
she was studying the girl opposite
with the closest scrutiny. The girl
did not seem unaware Of this scru-
tiny, and the way their respective
glances struck fire when they met
each other in the middle Of the aisle
filled my masculine soul with glee.
AT Twenty-eighth street the girl
arose with easy grace and left the
car, halting moment in the door

pose Of impressing upon us the lines
Of her beautiful figure

my companion became instantly si-
lent and did not speak for several
minutes. Finally she said, in re-
sentful sort Of tone: You needn't
have bestowed SO much admiration
on that girl--it all went for naught.'
How so?' | queried, innocently.
Because she wore an engage
ment ring, was the reply.
Now I'll venture to say that a
mere man would have gazed at that
girl a week without ever discovering
that little detail. New York Press,

Sardinia was a wild place in the
middle of the last century. A trav-
eler says. THE men are clothed in
goatskins, one before and another
behind, without breeches, shoes or
stockings and a wooden or skin cap
on the head. The women have no
other habihments than long wool
en- gown and a wooden cap. The
peasants always go armed to defend
themselves from one another, so that
travelling in the interior is extremely
unsafe without an escort; and it is
even dangerous for ships to send
their people on shore for water I'M
less they are well armed. In short,
the Sardes are the Malays of the
