LITERARY BULLS.

Macaulay once reviewed a poem in
which climax OF absurdity was reach

THE STUPID SWAN.
Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird Is I,
Nnccmpoop.

Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird Is {,
NineomPooP.
To the mind OF the average farmer
nothing which walks on two legs e.
quite so stupid as q hen. He is mis-
taken, though, for there still remains
that beautiful, graceful nincompoop,
the common swan. The swan is so
stupid that II will stand in the shallow
part OF n pond and allow the water 10
freeze round Its legs till the ice IS so
thick that it cannot lift its feet and il
Is stuck fast. Not infrequently owners
OF these handsome but witless birds
are compelled TO chop away sufficient
Ice 10 make II possible for them TO
withdraw their Imprisoned feet.
The stupidity of the swan in this
respect is emphasized by the intelIl-
gence exhibited 10y ornamental ducks
when the weather turns cold. AS
night comes on and the water begins
to freeze the ducks begin swimming
In wide, well defined circle. Round
and round they go during the entire
night, keeping all the water within
that circle free from Ice. so that when
the day dawns they can float about
and doze in the sun. Ducks are al
ways most active during the night and
choose the day for sleeping.
But TO return to the swan. If you
find one OF these birds some distance
from the water and startle 1t, the swan
Will rush few feet toward the pond
and then drop down on the ground and
try to go through the motions OF swim
ming, apparently unable in its fright
to realize that 1t has not yet reached
the water.
Neither is the common swan n good
fighter. The black swan. although
one-half its size, is invariably the vic
tor in the combats which are some
times engaged in and generally kills
its antagonist The black swan usually
provokes the fight, too, for IL is rather

my mind that if my sight was not re-
stored / would be content. But il was

Miss Hollis travelled alone from Port
Huron TO Weisbaden, Germany She
does not speak German, but she had
armed herself with a letter In German
which told Of her purpose and destina-
ton. She passed a night at a Rotter-
dam hotel alone. made almost a days
journey to Weisbaden and entered DIR
Pagensticher's sanitarium. He per
formed several severe operations on her
eyes, with sthe happy result that has
been described. Her brave, self-reIiant
journey from Port Huron became known
at Weisbaden. and many persons visit

day the Empress Of Germany called at
