Bearded Vultures.

In the London Geological society's
eastern aviary there is now living a
splendid example of the lamnergeyer,
or bearded vulture. This species
(Gypaetus harbatus) resembles the
eagle in having the head covered with
feathers. 1t is a distinctly handsome
bird, and, being without the bald head
of the typical vultures, lacks their re-
pufsive look. In it's habits and mode
of life it resembles the true vultures,
except, perhaps, that it is rather more
dainty in it's tastes. Stories have
been told of children carried off by the
lammergeyer, but they are highly i'm
probable. In some Ncountries it is
called by name meaning bone
breaker" from it's habit of carrying
bones up in the air and dropping
them from a great height in order to
get at the marrow. 1t inhabits the
mountainous regions of southern Eu-
rope, and it's range extends through
Asia Minor and the Himalayas to
China.

MORE WORK FOR THE LAWYER
Legal Light Explains Why He Had
Doubled His Fee.

Five years ago certain man made
will. Last week he made another
one. The same lawyer drew up both
documents. For writing the second
will the lawyer charged twice as
much as for writing the first one.
why this difference?" asked the
client. Have you attained such promi-
hence in the legal profession in the
last five years that you are justified in
doubling your fees?'
Not at ALL said the lawyer. There
was twice as much work on this will
as on your old one. You see, at that
time you were a married man and
your will was short, for with the ex-
ception of few minor requests every
thing was left to your wife. Changes
in your domestic relations have made
another will necessary. You are now
a bachelor, or bachelors equivalent,
a childless widower. 1t is much hard
er to write a will for a man of that
type than for a married man. The
man with family usually gives away
everything he possesses in three or
four clauses, but the bachelor divides
his property among so many relatives,
friends and dependents and consumes
so much time in doing it that the
lawyer is justified in charging him
double the usual fee

A Cane in Defense,

IF you want to keep of hold-up
men," said an old detective to the oh.
server, carry cane. A hold-up man
is more afraid of cane than he is of
a revolver. He's deathly afraid that
the man carrying 1t will jab it In his
face or eyes or get the end of it In
his mouth. On this account they're
just as much afraid of small, light
stick as they are of a heavy one.
There are so many different ways
of using a cane that a man doesn't
know just which way to guard against
it. And any man can use it. Nine
men out of ten who carry revolvers
couldn't hit the side of barn with
them, and the 'hold-ups' know it, but
it doesn't take any skill or practice to
learn to slambang away with a walk.

Object Lesson.

IF the rich of the West side think
they have been hurt by the Wall
street panic" said the East side
aweller, 'let them come down some
cold and drizzly Saturday morning
and look at the pushcart market in
the rain. The wet fruit, the drip
ping paper bags, the drenched carpet
slippers only half protected by the
dripping oil cloth, the ruined neckties,
the rustling tins, the spoiled suspend
ers. But more than all they should
see the people who try to make their
living selling these infinitesimal, some
times almost worthless things, look
ing on at the ruin of their merchan-
disc from the shelter of doorways, of
cellar doors, of the half-protecting
roof of the elevated if they happen to
be near one, rushing wildly out from
these poor shelters at the slightest
show of an inclination on the part of
the passer to buy."-N. Y. Press.

SAYS MANY WOMEN ARE BALD
Hairdresser Refutes Idea Which Has
Become General.

why is it men get bald and women
don't?"
AT this question the hairdresser
laughed.
My dear sir" he said, there are
quite as many BALD women as men. In
fact, incline to believe that there are
more"
He pointed to the switches, curls,
fronts, fringes, and complete female
wigs in his window.
Why should those things exist II
women didn't get bald?" he said. THE
hairdresser puts in all his spare time
in making false hair contrivances, and
nine out of ten of them are made for
women. Well, woman wouldn't wear
them if she didn't need them, would
she?
When man gets bald, he acknowl-
edges frankly this injury that the
years have done him; he lets all the
world see his bare and hideous white
scalp. But when woman gets bald,
she brings up over her bald spot the
long locks above her ears and at the
back of her neck, and she further con-
ceals her badness with switch, or
false curls, or a fringe, or whatever
best suits her.
Yes, take hardresser's word for
it, woman's hair is no better than
man's-there are as many bald wom-
en- as men-but woman hides her
badness, whereas man let's his be

MADE THE CONGREGATION GASP
Northerner's LiberaIity Astonished the
CoIored Brethren.

A northern gentleman, visiting in a
southern village, attended church at a
negro meeting house. When it came
time for the collection TO be taken
two deacons seated themselves beside
a table before the pulpit, with the
plate between them.
One by one the congregation rose
and stepping forward, deposited cent
or nickel upon the plate before the
eyes of the watchful deacons. When
all the members had gone forward the
northern man took a half-dollar from
his pocket, and leaning forward and
touching negro on the shoulder,
handed it to him and motioned toward
the pulpit.
The colored brother rose with alac-
rity, but with eyes big with astonish-
ment, and holding the coin between
the tips of his fingers and extending it
high in the air where all might see
it, he marched slowly and ostenta,
tiously forward.
He was about to deposit it on the
plate when one of the deacons mo-
uoneo ana whispered TO him. Inc ef-
feet was instantaneous. The coin
bearer lowered the coin out of the
public gaze and stepped back to the
donor
Please sah," he said, in a low
voice, does you want some change
back-and how much?"
The visitor shook his head Again
up went the coin, borne by smiling
negro, and with clangor and an aud
ible buzz of approval from the specta-
tors, it fell into the plate.
Watched by the deacons, the
preacher counted the funds. 1.-The col
lection this morning amounts to S8
cents" he announced. 1--WE will now
enter upon service of thanksgiving"

The Cow Saved Him.

The sons of a New Hampshire farm
er routed a fox out of his den a few
days ago, and their two dogs ran him
a mile. Reynard made for a barnyard
and upon reaching it ran directly up
to a cow and stood between her front
feet. When the dogs came rushing up
the COW went for them and tossed one
over the fence and badly gored the
other. When the boys arrived, she
refused to let them enter the barn
yard.
The fox hung about her until he got
good and rested and then went his
way. The cow couldn't have mistak-
en- the fox for a little calf and just
why she took up his battle SO prompt
Iy is a matter to puzzle over.

Cider the National Drink.

When a traveller enters a tavern in
Rouen, France, or any of the towns or
villages about it, cider is brought to
him as a matter of course; it Is the
universal drink. Unfortunately the
ordinary brand is not first-class. The
status of cider as local beverage is
illustrated by the fact that the cider
press was carried as the emblem of
local industry in pageant orga nized

Louis de Brezes, grand seneschal of
Normandy, into Rouen in 1926.
