Tho Buzzard In Flight.

There can be no doubt that the buzz
zard is the living aeroplane in perfec.
ton. 1t cannot sail against the wind
except as other birds do-by sheer pow
err of moving wings-but it can sail at
amazing speed before the wind, at
right angles to the wind and can sail
within few points Of the wind.
When there is no wind its flight is
clumsy-not much of an Improvement
on the flying of hen. Authors are
wont to describe the buzzard as sail
ing in the sky on days when the
earth perspires beneath sultry, still
atmosphere. But 1t will also be re-
membered that these authors invari-
ably describe the buzzard as being
"a speck in the brassy heavens" AS a
matter Of fact, that is just the point
Of the buzzard's aerial knowledge.
When there is no breeze close to the
earth it is always to be observed roost-
ing in tree or flying laboriously into
the zenith until it finds an upper cur

Queer Position. of Hearts,

There is one curious fact which not
everybody notices about the common,
finger-long, green caterplllars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, instead Of
being in front, are ut the back of the
body and extend along the entire
length of the animal. One can see the
heart distinctly through the thin skin
and can watch its slow beat, which
starts Mt the tail and moves forward to
the head. Hearts Of this sort reaching
from head to tail are not Mt all uncopl-
mon in the simpler creatures. Ne
earthworm has one, and SO have most
worms, caterpillars and other crawling
things. Hearts in the middle of the
back also are quite as frequent as
those in what seems to us to be the
natural place. Many animals, the lob
ster for example, and the crayfish and
the crab, which have short hearts like
those Of the beasts and birds, never
theless have them placed just under
the shell in what, in ourselves, would
be the small of the back.-St. Nicholas.

Ono Source Of N.w..

For many years certain New York
paper received society and club gossip
from man whose identity was con-
cealed by clever ruse. Even his
checks We're made out to his wife in
her maiden name. He furnished in
formation about the doings and wran-
giles in various clubs-llttle stories In
yolvIng people whose names are
known by reputation to practically all
readers of newspaper columns. He is
said thus to have averaged an income
of about $40 n week-not much, but
enough to buy hats, gloves and canes.
He was most immaculate and APP
parently prosperous person. 1t Is
needless to say that he has never been
suspected of this small traffic. A
wealthy relative died and left him in
dependent. When some such man
furnishes the clew to delectable
scandal he has done a stroke of bust
ness that will keep him in small lux
uries for months to come.-Whitman

Her Purse and His handkerchief.
"The thoughts Of youth are long,
long thoughts" The other day q young
woman who had dropped her purse,
full of pay money for the corps Of
girls under her charge, considered the
thoughts of youth to be rather too
"long."
She was in one of the large depart
ment stores, and as her hands were
occupied she let her purse lie for n
few moments where it had fallen. But
her eye was on 1t. In the meantime a
bright little fellow not more than nine
or ten years old left his parents near
by and deftly covered the purse with
a handkerchief.
The woman. who is perfectly self
possessed young person. could hardly
believe her eyes. but she waited to see
what the boy would do. Just rs he
was STOPPING to his prize she placed
her foot quietly upon 1t. The young
ster slipped back without word to
the well dressed respectable" people
with whom lie was.
Then the woman picked up her purse
and, taking the handkerchief over to
the lad, handed 1t to him. saying,

lose your handkerchief just because

A resident of New England town
who was noted for his great kindness
to animals viewed the first horse cars

of convenience or necessity had no in

I'd add pounds weight to what those
poor creatures have to drag" he de-
clared, and no persuasion could induce
him to ride in street car dragged by
overworked, tired horses. When cleo
tricity was applied and the cars went
smoothly along without the horses, his
son said:
Now, father, you can ride on the
street cars without worrying about
horses. You can go into Boston ut
your ease now.'

Shorthand peuble Marrisae,


1t was in 1857 that the Gretna Green
marriages were made Illegal A glance
at its registers may yet inspire the
novelist Of the future. One entry will
be sure to puzzle. Twice within few
days occurs the record of the marriage
of Richard Brinsley Sheridan to Miss
Grant. There was only one u. B. S.,
only one bride for the same gentleman.
The double entries are not the result of
any blunder on the part of the Rev.
Mr.. Vulcan. The parties were really
twice married at Gretna Green. Arriv-
ing on Sunday they We're duly we'd
ded, and sped away to Edinburgh.
There, however, Sheridan CHANGED to
glance at a newspaper in which ap-
peared the lucubrations of 4 lawyer.
In these plainly stated was the fact
that no contract executed on Sunday
is binding. Clearly, then, their we'd
ding was not legal. Back to Gretna
Green they scurried, to be remarked
on week day and leave the dual rec
ord to perplex later generations Of

Big Jump. by Rabbits.

How fast do hares and rabbits run?
Perhaps you have wondered while out
cunning and watched the elusive ami
mails speeding away. According to J..
G. Millais, the length of hare's stride
is about four feet, while that of rab-
bit is about two feet. Under condI-
tons of fear the hare is said to leap
ten to twelve feet, some authorities
claiming that 1t can jump bitches ten
to twenty-five feet in width. A hare
can jump upward perpendicularly five
feet. Rabbits can make leaps of six or
seven feet horizontally, but cannot
jump higher than three feet. When
compelled to do SO, it is said, rabbits
can swim MS well as Philadel-

woman, that's an awful big bone in
that small steak. / don't like to have

"Yes'm," said the butcher politely,
but with touch of irony in his an
swer, "that do seem to be good deal
OF bone, but the animals what's COM
in to this market now seems to have
more or less bone in 'em. And really
as animals is built now I don't see how
they can get along without bones"
