will probably materially increase the number before 1909 rolls around. Sev' enteen is by long odds Miss Ethcl's fa. vorlte age. and she doesn't care how often 1t happens. Now at Manchester, Mass, visiting friends, Miss Ethel was announced by Secretary Loeb on July 16 to be giving a birthday party. Later this was denied. Then MT. Loeb decid. ed that Miss Ethel should be seven teen on July IS. The president i'm patiently and emphatlcally denied that this date was correct Finally Loeb and Miss Ethel concluded that Aug, 10 would be as good q time as any to become seventeen. Now 1t is said at Oyster Bay that Miss Ethel will be seventeen in September.
 It is thought strange that man of Mir. LOeb's experience should indulge in any discussion over the age of any woman, young or old, for lives, for tunes and kingdoms have been lost by similar action. It is contended that he ought to allow Miss Ethel unre- strlcted control over the number of her birthdays, and if she now insists on having two or three month let her do so, for the time will soon come, all too soon, when she will insist on hav- ing less than one birthday every three years. Thus on her whole life she will strike @ pretty accurate average.

Animals Wiser Than Man

I CONFESSED that thought it all an old woman's
l superstition, like the belief that red sky meant
and boodshed that shooting stars
angels falling and the whole of astrological
nonsense But Brown couldn't it that way.
He sure, he said, that Nature had endowed the
lower animals, which cannot protect themselves
against the weather can, with special weather
sense which warns them of any sudden change and
gives them time to prepare for it. Because we
haven't this sense he said is absurd to think that
no other creature has it: That is mans pure con-
cet. The dog smell his way home for twenty
miles more; but can't And can't
at night like the owl, or hear the sounds that
insects hear.
Il said that man conceited animal he
went on: q" but take that back. It's only the
pedantic, scientific to whom that epithet can
be properly applied. Savage peoples and SIM
pie, unsophisticated folk the world recognize
the superiority of the lower animals in many
respects. The farmer knows, for example. that
rocks are much better representations of the weather
than he is; SO he watches them for clue and when
he sees them flying low he knows it's going to rain.
If they feed fast and hurry the ground in
direction and in compact body, it's a sign of
storm. 1t they sit in paings, it
wind; and if they fly high when going home to
roost, the next day will be fair, and vice versa
