Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.

The sparrow hawk almost invariably
catches a flying bird for its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a blackbird. If it does not
exactly swoop like the larger hawks,
yet it must have conditions of chase of
its own choosing. That is why the
small birds usually mob it with impu-
nifty when they are numerous enough
to bewilder 1t. Once. however | saw
sparrow hawk that had been molest-
ed for some minutes by perfect cloud
of green tincheS dart among them and
secure Il victim. One day l had one of
these birds pointed out as the one
which 4 few days earlier had come
close to the house toward dusk and
caught bat on the wing. That, how
ever, is very unusual meal-London

fortunately the next line of the song
was: "Hark! What sound is that which
breaks upon mine ear?" This so tickled
the fancy of the great vocalist that he

BELIEVE IN AIRsHIP
WASHINGTON RESIDENTS HOPE
FOR ANOTHER TRIAL.
Prof. LanaIey's "Ruzzard," Now in the
Smithsonian Institution at the Cap
ital May Prove the Wished.
For Success.

A great deal of interest has been
aroused not only in Washington but
all over the country by the announce
ment thata c. NJ. Manley, the engin-
eer who did the mechanical designing
of "The BuZzard," the late Prof.
Langley's great airship, is expecting
to give the machine another trial
At meeting of the American Acad-
emy of Sciences last December there
was a paper read by Alexander Ora
ham Bell on his work up in Nova
Scotia with the tetrahedral kite 1t
was general contribution to the sub
ject of aerial locomotion, as we'll Mr..
Manley was present at the meeting,
and in the discussion that followed
DR.. Bells paper he said it was the
general belief that the aerial expert
ments of the Smithsonian Institution
had been dropped. This, he said, was
not correct; that they had been mere
ly suspended; and he hoped in the
not very distant future to take out
the big airship and give it another
trial
The situation with the big airship in
the Smithsonian is rather complicated
The war department has some rights
in it, having furnished the officers and
had the supervision of some of the
expenditures connected with it. The
machine is the property of the Smith
sonlan Institution in point of posses
sion and from tho foot +ba+ II Woo
made by Prof. Langley, the former
secretary. The government, not be-
ing much in touch with the subject of
aerial navigation, has little faith in the
machine, it Is stated, and it is regard
ed as certainty that there will not
be another dollar appropriated for ex-
periments. The scientific world, on
the other hand, is almost wholly con-
v1nced that the machine is all right,
and if it were sporting proposition
the scientists probably would be will
ing to make wager of five to three
that the ship would fly the next trial.
Mr.. Manley, as stated, is the en-
gineer who built the airship. When
the subject of lightweight engine was
under discussion Prof Langley went
personally to the most expert engine
builders in this country and in Europe
and tried to get an engine built on the
general lines he had laid down None
of them would undertake the contract,
and the result was that Mr.. Manley,
then young man in Prof. Langley's
employ, did the work himself, and pro-
duced 52-horsepower engine at con-
siderably less than five pounds weight
per horsepower. Manley stipulated but
one thing, and that he should have the
honor of navigating the machine on
her first trial. This was granted him,
but the attempt was a failure, and
now he wants to take another try at
it.
How long it will be before the trial
is actually made is question. How
ever the machine is still there, and
the principal thing lacking is some one
with the nerve and money to risk the
initial trip.

-RoARED HIS GENTLE REBukE.
Mates Wrath Found Vent in PecuIia
Form of Reproaeh.

Rear Admiral Mead, who has just
been retired, was talking one night al
dinner in Portsmouth about the
power of discipline
In my youth" he said, 81 knew q
first mate in the merchant service
who, though an excellent officer, was
dreadfully profane. When anything
went wrong he would volley forth
oaths and curses in a shocking way
Once, though, he shipped with a very
strict, religious captain, and the first
time this captain CHANGED to witness
one of the mates swearing bouts he
gave the young man a good dressing
down. You are first-rate officer he
ended, but remember, no more swear
ing. Not another oath aboard my
Ship
We'll, the mare bore the captains
warning in mind. Then one afternoon
1t happened that the boatswain made
an inexcusable error in carrying out
an order. When the boatswain con-
fessed the fault he had committed
the mate turned red with rage. He
opened his mouth. Everybody looked
at him expectantly, waiting to hear
some remarkable oaths. but just then
the captain hove in sight. The mate,
seeing the captain, remembered his
orders about profanity. But his rage
mad to have q vent of some sort and,
striding up close to the culprit, he
roared in the mans face, You naugh-
ty, naughty boatswain!'"

200. There are two reasons for Mr..

THE DIFFERENCE IN TASTE.
Dogs Priced as Edible In China Are
Here Fashions Pets.

HE is the real thing in the way of
Q chow" said she. Father bought
him for me in Shanghai. Did you know
they ate them there?+'
i had heard that the Chinese ate
dogs, but l thought it was a fake, like
the story of their eating rats"
mo; it is the truth They do eat
dogs, but only the chow variety.
Chow you know, means edible
Yes, they eat elbows. In every butcher
shop you see elbows carcasses hung
up, the same as we hang up the car
casses of pigs. The flesh is white"
Winter"
Yes; like veal. The Chinese raise
elbows for food and feed them only
soft, washy stuff, mashed vegetables
and bread and milk. No meat what
ever. Hence the white flesh.
Notice Wu's black tongue. Well.
chow tongue is a Chinese delicacy.
They make soup of it. But it is very
expensive, like our turtle soup, and it
is only eaten by the rich.
isn't it strange that a dog so fash
Lonable with US should be only an arti-
Gle of food in China?"

ResoureefuI Capital Newsbox.

Verify, this is the era of roller
skates in the national capital" re-
marked an old resident, and the
whirr of the wheels is in the air. AL
though am not in it myself for
physical reasons, I take pleasure in
the evident enjoyment Of those who
are. The saying that there are queer
things on skates is true. The other
day I saw an enterprising newsboy
put his skates to novel USE He
had big bundle Of papers to serve
to customers at distance from the
office. The bundle was really too
heavy for him to carry without great
exertion. To meet that difficulty and
save carfare he had in some ingenious
manner fastened it to pair of skates
and was rolling it along the smooth
pavements at a good pace. It was
laborsaving device sure enough, and
showed that the youngster was cap
able of putting to practical use arti-
cles usually employed only for pleas
ur0."

their cruel opposition, she was really
very fond of her parents. At the
same time she was quite convinced
that her Charley was the best, the
cleVerest, the handsomest, as well as
the Wisest man in existence, and had
only to be known to be appreciated by
everyone.
That young gentleman, though per-
fectly aware that he was many de-
grees removed from what see thought
him, began to look upon himself as
rather a fine fellow He was also
quite sure that he had a scheme that
would bring the old people to their
senses in no time when so desired.
His past was going to prove useful,
after all. However, he was wise
enough not to let his wife into the
secret just then.
They spent their honeymoon at
Large Bay, and their affection was
strong enough to color even those aw-
full sandhills the loveliest of rosy hues
On Tuesday the Ormuz steamed up
to the anchorage, and early Wednes
day the young couple boarded her for
England. They lay concealed all the
morning in their cabin, and during
that time Bassidge told his wife his
secret.
An hour before sailing Sir John and
Lady Dives came on board and at
one o'clock the vessel weighed anchor
and steamed down the gulf.

cabin, examined the passenger list

The Life Romantic.

why is it," asks the North Amerl.
can Review, that in middle age the
novel so pals upon us, while we turn
instinctiVely to biography and letters,
or to poetry and history for our
lighter reading? It SENS a fact too
readily overlooked that the very form
OF life's romance changes with the
years. 1t is undoubtedly a provision
OF nature that the emotional life
Should be paramount from IS to 30;
but surely the glamor shed about the
amative relations begins to wane
with middle age, and we find either
new food for the life romantic or we
settle into dull routine of recurrent
occupations. 1t is then that personal
optimism and pessimism are put to
the test. To let the sweeping pageant
OF life become all drab and dreary is
to- admit failure in life, and to live
with eVer-increasing zest and interest
Is to have captured success. The
greatest free gift of the years is i'm
personality. That voracious interest
In ourselves which is so natural a
Limitation of youth fades of it's own
accord as we grow to fuller knowl-
edge of our slight endowment, the
paucity of our spoken lines and the
fragmetnary and insignificant part Of
our role in life. And then what is to
ill up the void? We are, after all,
not cast for the hero's part; but are
we to sink into mere hardened ma
chimes? The gift of entirely imper-
sonal enjoyment is one of the great
est of life's events. When it falls
upon us we can adern our secret cor
ners of delight and learn to live in
them. We begin to listen to music
with no disquieting desire to have it
interpret our personal emotions or
feed our ambitions. We can look at
pictures and nature with a new and
more liberal interest. There is a shift
ing of basis, by which, if we will, we
may gain complete advantage. AS in
youth We cling to some glorified
fragment of the past or hold out our
hands to some warm hope of an I'M
earned but magnificent future, so in
middle age we come, if we will, to
moment richer and nobler in itself.
II in youth we use the senses for per-
sonal aggrandizement, in maturity we
learn to enjoy them for themselves.
1t is shifting of basis from emotion
to perception, and the perceptions can
give as keen a pleasure, every whit,
as the emotions.

Old Hickory,s Desk.

Judge Lewis Jordan, formerly of
Corydon, Ind, now chief of a division
of the treasury department in Wash.
ington, finds recreation and amuse-
ment in poking about antique shops
and secondhand furniture stores.
While nosing around in a Georgetown
shop a few weeks ago, he came upon
mahogany desk, covered with dirt
and showing the neglect of years. He
scraped through to the wood and found
it to be remarkably fine bit of ma
hogany, so he took it for $25. When
he had peeled off two or three layers
of dirt, and had cleaned up the draw
ers, he was amazed to find this in
scription: Presented to His Excel
lency, Andrew Jackson, by his friend.
Caleb Pierce" Mr.. Jordan was de-
lighted and at once began an investi-
cation. He found that the desk was
the one which Old Hickory had used
while president of the United States.

ating with Mr.. Jordan for the purchase

South Cardinals state liquor dig

abandoned because it did not work to
the satisfaction of the people, has
been succeeded by local option sys-
tenn, with the counties as the unit.
The voters may decide whether they
shat. nave county dispensary or pro-
hibition, explains Youths Companion.
If they decide for the dispensary, the
management of the business will be
in the hands of a commission of three
men for each county, appointed, one
by the mayor or mayors of the town
OF towns in the county, one by the
school board, and one by the legisla-

divided among the municipalities, the
county and the school fund. The ad-
