A Curious Bird.

AS to food, the weka is omnivor-
Gus, eating everything from a pea
rife cartridge to the remains Of
one of his own offspring. l remem-
Der an instance of this when our
dog unfortunately killed a young
bird which was too small to eat.
The parents made a decent show Of
grief over their loss and then, be-
ing quite sure that the little one
was dead, proceeded to eat up its
still warm remains. In camp wekas
are useful as scavengers, but they
are incorrigible thieves, trying to
take away everything at all white
or glittering, and, as they are able
to move a weight of two or three
pounds, it may be well imagined
that careful lookout has to be kept.
The glance of mingled triumph and
contempt which n weka givoo over
his shoulder as he walks off with
your pipe is inimitable, and his
whole attitude would make a most
laughable picture if well drawn

Zealand" by A. P. Harper.

A Curious lest For Raar.

At Munich an ancient custom
still obtains of the burgomasters
and town councillors going annually
to Salvador cellar in order to test
the quality of the beer consumed
by the people. The test is a very
primitive one. The officials attend
in their leathern breeches, and beer
having been poured over the wood
en- benches the civic dignitaries
plump down upon them. While
there seated they sing an ancient
song, the same that their predeceS-
sors have sung for ages, and in or
der to subject the beer to fair
test they sit long enough to sing
the song through three times. Then
they essay to rise up. If now they
find their breeches sticking to the
benches the beer is voted good and
sound, Having stood this test, the
beer goes through the formality of
being tasted, and then its sale to
the public is duly sanctioned.

Big Wildcats Very Numerous.

Wildcats, attracted by the deer,
have appeared .inlarge numbers near
the outskirts of surrounding towns,
according to a Rutland despatch, and
have caused considerable alarm
among the inhabitants Of the rural
districts. Several fine specimens
have been brought in by sportsmen,
who report them in greater numbers

gUcatbolducsS in stalking their game,
and often follow the deer to the bor-

There is,always

condemning them, There is,always
plenty Of room for discrimination.
1t is the spirit with which we do
things and it is the conditions under
which things are done that help us to
pass Judgment upon any amuse
ment The reasoning that round
dancing" except at arms length is
altogether improper may do harm in
the sensual differences that never en-
ter the heart or mind Of a true lover
Of that measured step and movement
whose Joy is in the time, the music,
and the pleasure of graceful accom-
plishment ! firmly believe that
some so-called preachers Of righteous
ness have done infinite harm in
preaching so much against what may
be entirely Innocent SO that what
people once did with no thought of
wrong, they now do with evil
thoughts and wrong emotions.
Let us come to this sensible con-
clusion; sometimes properly con-
Quoted within reasonable hours, in
good company, dancing may be a
pleasant amusement, sanctioned, at
least not rebuked by the Master;
while again scarcely any entertain
ment can be more harmful.
AS regards theatre-going, all that
has been said about the two other
forms of amusement can be repeated
Here, too, it is simply case Of use
and abuse. One must discriminate,
one must make a choice, All right
and rational life is a discrimination.
Simply because there are the good
and the bad in life, is no reason why
we should throw both overheard,
Why not get the benefit Of the good
and regulate the bad? Anarrow in
tolerance, miserable bigotry is a
form of intemperance We know
there are bad plays and plays that
are the greatest masterpieces of lit
erature. We know there are actors
whose lives are questionable and ac-
tors who are named as the greatest
and the best men Of their day. The
stage is now an accepted force in ed
ucation. Not long ago at Harvard
University | attended a lecture on
literature. The professor, as his
custom was, told the students of the
best plays being produced in our
country and advised an attendance
at these plays, when produced in the
near and large city of Boston. In
the passing out of Sir Henry Irving
we lost a-noble and rare soul, phil
anthropist, scholar, an artist
In summing up, let me say that
announcements should be occasional,
clean, and helpful. We are enter
tanned that we may live, We don't
live to be entertained. How l pity
those people of small inward re-
sources who are always looking for a
good time.
Every case Of amusement must be
decided by itself and it is a matter
that concerns each one individually
1t is a personal question.
In deciding there are several ques-
tons to ask yourself. Is it right fol-
me to do this thing? Is it harmless
to myself and others? VIII those
present be people with whom can
safely associate? Is it necessary fol
my best life? Would be ashamed
to be seen by those whose approval
and good opinion l value? If you
can answer these questions rightly
the amusement is not to be con,
demned.

The Windsor County Agricultural

The Windsor County Agricultural
Society made over six hundred dol
lars last year above expenses, which
included repairs on the fair ground
track, and is probably one of the most
successful of similar organizations in
New England. 1t is not asking for
state aid. The society gives good
old-iashioned fair; many people at
tend; the premiums are liberal and
are paid promptly at the close of the
exhibition.

"Hot Drops Poultry Food.

warns up the fowls and perhaps in

but soon leaves the hens worse off than
before. Eva A. Bond of East Jefferson
