What Killed tho Adiu.sn.,

A good story from the regimental
journal Of the Fighting Fifth" con-
Germs Colonel (then Captain) FitzRoy
and dates back to 1860. FitzRoy was
possessed Of an air gun. and one after
noon be took a shot at an adjutant. a
bird which, being an excellent scaven-
ger. is protected from injury by a fine
Of 100 rupees. Several people saw the
bird fall, but heard no report. There
was. of course. a hubbub, and a court
of inquiry was ordered to investigate
the birds death.
AS luck would have it, FitzRoy was
appointed president Of the court, the
finding OF which was duly recorded as
follows: The court, having carefully
investigated all the evidence brought
before II, have come to the conclusion
that the bird died OF sunstroke."-
(signed) Phil FitzRoy, Captain and
President "-Allahabad Pioneer.

Some Odd Notions.

In some European countries I'll luck
is said to follow the person who stirs
any liquid in a pan from east to west.
In Scotland persons when baking oat
cakes break a piece or and throw it
in the ire to appease evil agencies.
Still another custom in that land is to
make birthday cake with nine knobs.
Then nine OF the assembled company,
when the cake comes hot out of the
oven, each breaks one knob or and,
throwing 1t behind him, says, This l
give to thee, fox, eagle, wolf," etc.
In some countries 1t is considered
unlucky TO give a mince pie to a
guest-it should be asked for. Like
wise a mince pie should never be cut
with knife, but held whole with the
fingers and eaten that way; also to
eat as many mince pies as possible at
as many different houses before
Christmas, It is believed, viii insure
so many happy months for the eater.
To wrap a mince pie in silver paper
and keep IL from Christmas till July
and then eat it is also said to bring
good luck.

A Poetic comparIson.


The poet was favoring a friendly
soul with his last verses, says a
writer IN St. James Budget. The
verses were descriptive OF a beautiful
girl. The poet read:
''Hor hair was massed In flowing curls
The color OF whisper"
This made the listener ''sit up"
whats that?" he said. 'Read that
again"
Il thought you would say something
about that" the poet answered. Il
don't want to appear egotistical, but
that little phrase gives some scope for
the exercise of the mind"
''In what way?
The poet laughed.
Don't you see." he said, 'how beau.
tifully that describes the shade of her
hair? Every poet speaks Of golden
hair or raven locks. To be a success
one must be original. Well, she did
not have golden hair. It was nearly
golden, and l convey the impression
by means Of that one word"
The other still looked puzzled.
"You have heard" said the poet pa
tiently, that silence is goldenT
Yes" the other admitted.
We'll" resumed the poet, IF Silence
is golden what would a whisper be-
1t would be nearly golden, wouldn't

The poet laughed again. The other
was sitting down and could not stag

When Women Admired whiskers

For ages boards were the delight Of
ancient beauties. The sight Of a shaved
chin excited sentiments Of horror and
aversion. To obey the injunctions of
his bishops Louis VII. of France CROP
ped his hair a la pompadour and shaved
or his luxuriant whiskers. Eleanor
Aquitane. his consort, found him with
this uncommon appearance very ridic-
ulous and very contemplate. She re-
venged herself by becoming something
more than a coquette. The king OBJ
tanned a divorce. She then married
the Count Of Anjou, who shortly aft
erward ascended the English throne.
and gave him as her marriage dover
the rich provinces OF Poitou and Gui-
enne. And this was the origin OF
those wars which for 300 years raw
aged France and which cost the
French nation 100000 men, all OF
which probably had never taken place
II Louis VII. had not been so rash as
to shave OFF his whiskers, by which
he made himself so disgusting to the
fair Eleanor.-New York Press.

The PsIio.n.

The pelican is not an attractive bird.
He offends both the eye and the nose.
But he is commercially regular in his
habits. The parent birds catch fish and
after eating their ill deposit the others
in their pouches under their bills and
carry them to their young. These
pouches will hold from three to eight
pounds Of fish. They are elastic and
when distended to their utmost nearly
touch the ground. When empty, the
pouch lies close up under the big bill
and is merely mass Of wrinkles. 1t is
this pouch that gives the pelican his
characteristic and disagreeable odor,
caused by particles OF decaying fish.
The pelican's legs are short and strong,
and its feet have large webs. 1t is not
a fast swimmer or a rapid fiier, but It
is practically tireless In both air and
water. On land 1t is awkward and un-
wieldy.

A Swift Bird

The Mexican road runner has only
two short legs, but he can beat a
horse. hound and an electric carriage
and give them a handicap start. Speed
is not his only recommendation. He
eats as he runs. or rather, as the
things run away with him. Snakes
are the principal part Of his diet, big
and little. His crop is as elastic as his
legs are swift, and when be wants to
prepare for long journey he coils up
a rattler or two inside Of his neck and
sets out across the Mexican desert
with a swiftness that makes it look
