Knowing The birds

How grand is the hawk or the eagle
sailing far away in the blue sky. And
how beautiful are song birds, each in
its favorite position to sing, the song
sparrow with head thrown back, the
bobolink sailing down to the grass with
raised wingsl Those who have spent
much time in watching birds in the
field know how differently the various
birds perch, fly, run, climb or feed.
The warblers catch flies, but they do
not do ii in such an interesting way as
do the true fly catchers. We come to
know a bird by the flight or walk Just
as we know other friends by their gait
or even by the sound of their tread.
In flight the wings of many different
birds make peculiar sounds whereby
we may know the birds even if they
themselves are out of sight. 1t is not
at all necessary to get close enough 10
bird to see its exact color or the
shape of its bill and feet, for rs move
ments and outlines can be seen at
greater distance and SO we may
know the bird even though ii should Ay

The SINH of Persin in Russia.

The Shah of Persia is a man of
moods and his visits are not always
unmiXed joys at the courts he hon
ors. On the occasion of his recent
stay in St. Petersburg his peculiari-
ties gave infinite trouble to the Rus
sian court officials One of his most
trying idiosyncracies is his habit Of
occasionally going to bed for twenty
four hours at a stretch, giving strict
orders that he is not to be disturbed
under pain of death. More than once
the days selected were those on
which special festivities had been ar
ranged in his honor. AS a matter Of
fact, his majesty who is devoted to
children, preferred half an hour with
the little grand duchesses to any
other entertainment, and won the
children's hearts by letting them play
with his exquisite collection of dia-
monds and other precious stones,
which is said to be worth a kings
ransom.-London Taller

THE VICTORIA CROSS.
Lord Roberts Was One of the First
Men to Receive 1t.

IlOfu llODtfIS w dS NilN Va tAhS AAASN
Men to Receive 1t.
Fifty years ago Queen Victoria
founded the famous Order of the Vic
troia Cross. The little bronze en-
blem bearing the words For Valor"
still remains the most famous naval
and military decoration in the world.
Up to the present 500 sailors and
soldiers, including three civilians,
acting for the time as combatants,
have received Queen Victoria's Cross.
One of the first men to receive the
decoration was Lord Roberts, Of
Kandahar, who saved a flag during
the mutiny, forty-seven years ago.
Lord Roberts is the only man in the
world who possesses two Victoria
crosses. The second was won by his
son in his heroic efforts to save the
guns at Colenso during the Boer war.
Lieutenant Roberts died of his
wounds, and the cross he had won at
the cost of death was given by the
late Queen to Lord Roberts, who is
entitled to wear the reward of his
sons bravery on his right breast.
Some of the exploits which led to
the reward of the cross For Valor"
are absolutely amazing During
campaign it is the ambition of every
British officer and man to earn the
Victoria Cross, and the reckless
bravery displayed during the South
African war led to a reprimand from
headquarters, many gallant men
needlessly throwing away their lives.
