In fact the university is determined to
give proper attention to this feature of
education in future. 1t is pointed out
that engineering, and especially mining
engineering, Is something which can
scarcely be given too much attention in
the great mineral district Of Alabama
1t is pointed out that Tuscaloosa, being
one of the richest counties of the state
so far as mineral wealth Is concerned Is
an especially appropriate place for the
study of the methods of utilization of this
wealth. 1t is, in addition, so easily ac-

sure to lend all the cooperation In its
power to the training of capable young
mining engineers whose services are in
such constant demand

Eagle Kite Fooled kingfishers.

Seven boys entered their miniature
airships for the annual kite.lying con-
test, open to children of the public
and parochial schools, which took
place the other afternoon in Genessee
Valley park.
Interest vas lent to the contest by
an odd incident, showing that the
birds of the air may be fooled by the
cleverness Of man. Aling Brown had
n kite made in imitation of an Amer
lean eagle. and when it spread its
wings to the breeze and rode away
into the air 1t looked like a real king
of the air"
Indeed, so perfect vas the imita-
ton that as the beautiful kite scared
over II of the trees in the park in
rising, two large kingfshers saw the
strange fowl, and, uttering their shrill
cry of battle. left the tree and follow
ed the kite high into the air. They
wheeled and circled around their new
enemy, but such was their awe of
the majestic bird they did not venture
to push hostilities to the actual point
OF contact. This eagle kite took the
first prize.-Rochester Herald.

ONE OF RoYHooD's WOES.
Simple Recital of a Tragedy of the
Baseball Field.

Over in the vacant lot back of JIM
mic Jones home the Mudlarks and the
Terrors were engaged in a baseball
duel to the death. 1t was the last half
of the eighth inning. The stood
five to four in favor of the Mudlarks.
Jimmie Jones. the best pitcher OF them
all, was in the box for the Mudlarks,
and the way he sped them through was
working havoc with the hopes of the
Terrors.
The Terrors were at bat. A mar
passed to first, an error, and they had
a runner at third. Jimmie Jones set
tied down to pitch, and struck the next
two batters out. A run would tie the
score Grimly the Mudlarks settled to
the task of shutting out the Terrors.
Tense excitement reigned. Jimmie
Jones stood, serene and strong as an
adamant wall, and the best batter of
the Terrors approached the batter's
box.
A Mudlark rooter's thin and strained
voice arose: Tree twisters and a fam
out, Jimmie! De boys are all wild
you!"
Deliberately Jimmie Jones twirled
the ball in his fingers preparatory to
speeding through a deceptive shoot.
The base-runner at third danced for
ward and back again, ready to take
desperate chances to tie the score.
Seldom had so critical a stage been
reached on the field. Still Jimmie
stood, twirling the ball. The hopes Of
tho NJnIInrIy. rnetAl u.ith him
At length Jimmie Jones gave a final
twirl to the ball, swung his arm about
like a windmill, and prepared to send
the whizzing sphere across the plate.
But a sound broke the stiffness.
Across the back fence that skirted the
field a woman's voice came clear,
shrill, not to be denied:
Jimmie Jones, you come home and
rock your little brother to sleep this
minute,"
Slowly the tense muscles of Jimmie
Jones relaxed. The ball stopped in
midair. The great arm of the Mud
larks' star pitcher dropped as if par
alyzed. A look of great pain came upon
his face and his fingers grew n%erveless
and limp.
Never mind her, Jimmie" shouted
the Mudlark rooter. Finish u de
game
But Jimmie Jones was undone. He
put his ~suspenders back on his Shout
ders, passed the ball to the umpire,
and with his proud head bowed made
his way to where his coat lay in a pile.
"Youse fellers don't know me mud
der was all he said. Cit anudder
pitcher"
He walked off the field. leaped the
back fence and was ost to view, while
the Terror batsman drove a three
Dagger and the cheers of the Terrors
appraised Jimmie of the full force of
the tragedy.

Saved Wounded Pigeon,

The a%rchdeacon of London. in an
address on the growth of what he
called the instinct of rescue told of
something he had done recently that
had given him great pleasure. Coming
out of the house of commons one day,
he noticed a pigeon that had been run
owe lying in the road. He called the
attention of a police constable to the
little heap of crippled feathers. and
asked what were best to be done.
Best to kill It," said the constable.
But | couldn't do that, said the
archdeacon. Picking up the bird, he put
it inside his o a and took it home. He
managed to set the broken bone of
the leg, and after tending the patient
tenderly for two months, had the
pleasure of seeing IL restored to its
former condition and fly joyously away
to rejoin it's comrades on the roof
of the house of commons.

PUT 1T IN GOOD LIGHT.
One Comforting Thought in the Death
of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one af-
ternoon she left the household in
charge of her eight-year-old boy. Be-
fore her return a thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after it passed TO find that half of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come, he thought
best to make a clean breast of the
calamity, rather than leave it to be
discovered.
Mamma" he said, contritely. when
his mother had returned, mamma, six
of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. six!
How did they die?"
The boy saw his chance.
81 Think think they died happy"
he said.-Harper's Weekly.

A gentleman recently returned from

shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted or
going without hats. This is the way
he told it to an interested company:
"You see everybody down e

never wear coats; they go about in
