A linuuist.

The charm of Mrs. Ruth McEnery
Stuart's negro dialect stories was
greatly enhanced when she read them
herself, as she used frequently to do
in the early days of her fame, for
charity and church entertainments.
Her imitation of the negro dialect was
excellent. and her small son, who was
very fond of her accomplishment in
this line. frequently boasted of 1t
among the other children. Once. when
some of his schoolmates were vaunt-

By Edwin Tarrisse

KEYS, the language OF hens
has come forward as a subject of scientific
study with the phonograph. A French savant
has become convinced that barnyard fowl
have a real language. and that the curious
sounds they are continually uttering are per-
fectlv understood by one another.
This naturalist has for sometime kept a
photograph hung up in coop IN which several
cocks and hens are confined. He has caused,
as it were, the fowls to talk about all sorts OF
things by agitating them in way and an
Uther,-bv letting them become hungry, and
then feeding some of them while the Others
" complain, and in many ways has induced
them to utter all the sounds of which they
seem to be capable.
These sounds the monograph has faithfully
recorded, and Prevot du Haudrav, the sci
enlist in question, declares himself to be able
to demonstrate from them that the chickens
nave a means of communication which may
properly be called a language.
Persons who have observed the habits of
poultry will not find it difficult to believe that
they converse great deal together, while the
old hens are undoubtedly much given to talk
ing to themselves. 1t will be interesting to
observe for instance, when the French student
