feet, had golden crowns on their heads.
One day the birds and beasts all went
to pay homage to the Court OF King
Solomon; among them. Of course were
the hoopocs. When their turn came
they made their request. which was that
the king would pray for them tha, THEFT
crowns might be changed
SO King Solomon prayed and instead
of golden crowns they received crowns

continues. the hoopces "live as mcrrily
as crickets in an oven. and also have

WILD EOAI;G II ENGhAN2.
Oncc Abundaa;--At:c;apts Made tc
Ecintroducc Them.

Among the exhibits at meeting Of
the Geological Society last eyenine
was the almost perfect skull of wilc
boar which was recently dug up dur
ing building operations in Jams
street, Oxford street.
Like the beaver, the wolf, th9
bear and the reindeer, ti'e wild boa,
though Ions extinct in this country
was formerly very abundant in the
large forest lands which once sur
rounded the site of London, and its
remains are not infreouently un'
earthed in and around the metropo'
lis. 1t is not certain w1on the last
wild boar was killed In England, but
it was probably in the reign OF
Charles II. or soon afterwaTd. FOR in
the book of accounts kept on the
ChartIey estate Is the following
entry, dated 1888; Paid the cooper
for a pale for ye wild swine, 20.
1t is, of course, possible. that the
wild swine alluded to were merely
individuals preserved in Charley
Park. and that the boar had been eX'
terminated as really Wlll amman
long before, but whether the swine
were preserved ct Charley or not II
Is certain that another species OF
wild animal-the white cattle
found a sanctuary there, and 1t was
not until quite recently that the nero
that descended from the Original
stock preserved in the park was dis'
persed.
Attempts have been made to rein
troduce the wild boar into England
bu. they have had to be abandoned
partly because the forests which they
haunted in past ages are now cult''
waited lands and gardens, and partly
because the havoc these huge ana
destructive beasts commit among
growing crops is not to be tolerated
by our already oppressed agricuf
turists. s.-London Daily Graphic

Why Do Stars Seem Rayed?

An attempt to account for the "a
miliar rayed or starlike appearance
of the stars when seen by the naked
eye is made by W. Holtz in an arti'
Gle on the Appearance of Stars, =
which appeared in Gesell. Wiss. Cot
tingen, Nachr., Math.-Phys. klasse'
He finds that all stars show precise
" the same rays, but that in the
case of the brighter stars the rays
are palmer and somewhat longer II
is further remarked that the rays
seen by the left and right eyes differ
and that II the head be turned the
rays are rotated in corresponding
manner. 1t is thus concluded thaI
the source of the rays is not In the
stars but in the eye itself, the middle
retina being not perfectly homog9n'
eous in its sensitiveness.

to another doctor. but ne could not help
him, and in our despair we went to n
third one. Matters became so bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough to put finger into. The food
had to be given with a spoon, tor his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate.
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over aud over. We had no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed we had to pin his hancs down,

There are many stories told Of the

her poor subjects. Tit-Bits tells the
following which shows, however, that
not even the good intentions OF
queens are always fulfilled.
Her majesty one day noticed a
pleasant-faced little girl and spoke
to her. There was a short CONVERSE
ton, and the queen asked the child
what she could do in the way of
nedlework.
Il can knit stockings, signora," re-
piled the girl.

ued the queen.
Yes, eignora, YOU are the queen. -
"Well. then, make me pair of
stockings and send them TO the pal
ace"
A few days afterward the articles
arrived, and the queen. in return for
the gift, sent the child beautiful
pair OF silk stockings, one filled with
sweets, the other containing money.
The next day the queen received a
letter from her little, friend as fol-
lows:
"Signoro. your gift has caused me
many tears. My father took the
money, my big brother took the
sweets, and as for the stockings. why.
