or our game birds the most gregarious
and most beautiful passenger pigeon. now
unhappily practically extinct, is or was
doubtless the most rapid of continuous
fiyers: yet to q toal length of about six
teen and one-fourth inches. Its wings
length is about seven and eight-tenths
inches, a proportion less favorable for
speed than with certain other less rapid
speed certainly exceeded a mile minute.
and some authorities have estimated 1t as
hish as one hundred and twenty miles per
hour. The fact. as often quoted, that the
wild rice of the Carolinas Is sometimes
found in the stomachs of birds shot in
Canada. shows both marvellous speed and
endurance.

SleepWaIkina.

Women and children are more apt to
suffer from somnambulism than men,
possibly because their brain is more
delicately poised and therefore more
easily influenced by dreams. A SOM
nambullst nearly always walks with
his eyes wide open, the pupils being
much dilated. He is dreamer able to
act his dreams. and in this state the
timid become fearless, the weak strong
and the stupid brilliant Their SOM
nambulstic condition presents many
curious anomalies. The somnambullsts
sense Of hearing is not often suspend
ed, for, generally speaking, he will an
swer questions even II whispered, but
often the same ear Is deaf to loud
noises. The sense Of smell is frequent
ly altered. Birthstone and phosphorus
are said to be pleasant scents to the
somnambullst, and many cannot tell
wine from water, as the sense OF taste
becomes perverted or entirely suspend
ed. Some people walk periodically In
their sleep, while others do 1t spasmod-
ically. One German doctor goes to the
extreme of asserting that somnam-
bulists are attracted by the moon, and
thus they walk on roofs Of houses and
at great heights because they derive a
peculiar pleasure from contemplating
the moon.

count.., Hsrtford,, Bell.

Edward Seymour, earl Of Hertford,
In the days Of Queen Elizabeth married
as his third wife a beautiful young
widow who had been engaged to Sir
George Rodney, but whom she Tilted
for Lord Hertford. Sir George Rodney
travelled to Amesbury and, putting up
at the inn, awaited the homecoming OF
the earl and countess, who were ex-
pected to arrive the next day. The In
fatuated man wrote a dying ode to his
hckle love, using his blood as ink, and
UPON the arrival Of the bridal party he
went out to meet them. Lady Hert-
ford was agitated and terrified at the
appearance of her old lover, and be-
fore Sir George could be prevented he
drew his sword and, falling on It. ex-
plred at Lady Hertford's feet. The
countess presented bell to Amesbury
church perhaps as slight penance for
her fickleness. The inscription runs:
Be strong in faythe, prayes God well.

A Tiny Death Dealer.

A most agonizlng death is caused by
an insect half the size Of pea-a
small black spider. 1t lives in Peru.
In South America, but a few speci-
mems have reached Europe in ship
loads of timber. Not long ago dock
laborer was unlucky enough to come
upon one In the Victoria docks while
unloading bark. The tiny death deal
er dropped upon the back Of his hand
and dug Its fangs into his flesh. The
bite itself was nothing, but as soon as
the poison began to work the man
tainted with pain. Soon afterward he
came to and lived three days before
the end came. This spiders venom
scorches up the blood vessels and
spreads through all the tissues, caus-
ing the most fearful agony a human
being can have to bear. The worst of
II is that the victim lives at least two
days, enduring unthinkable anguish
the whole time. This spider is luckily
not common. II is known as the
"specky," and when a man who knows
what the bite means Is bitten be gen.
orally blows out his bralns.-London
Chronicle.

Extreme Obedience.

The Youngs had Unexpectedly drop
ped In on the Baileys just as dinner
was about to be served. The hostess,
considerably disturbed, called her little
daughter Helen aside and explained
that there would not be enough oysters
to go around and added, Now, you
and viii Just have some Of the broth,
and please do not make any fuss about
II at the table,"
Little Helen promised to remember
and say nothing. But when the oys-
ters were served Helen discovered a
small oyster In her plate which had ac-
cidentally been ladled up with the
broth. This puzzled the little girl, as
she could not recall any instructions
covering this contingency. After
studying a few moments she dipped
the oyster up with her spoon and, hold
ing It up as high as she could, piped
out Mamma, mamma, shouldn't Mrs.
Young have this oyster tooT-Chris-

Stars That outshine the Sun.

One of the government astronomers,
referring to stars that are so distant
that they have no measurable parallax,
asserts that one Of these, the brilliant
Canopus, can be said with confidence
to be thousands Of times brighter than
our sun. Whether we should say 90
900, 10000 or 5000 no one can decide.
The first magnitude stars, Rigel and
Speca, also are at an immeasurable
distance and must, in view of their ac-
tual brightness, enormously outshine
the sun.

ing It decidedly embarrassing for her
and causing her to lose her womanly
modesty and incidentally her skirts,
says a Washington special.
At Idaho Falls, Idaho, an examina-
ton was recently held to obtain car
rier for the installation Of city free
delivery and the civil service COM
mission certified the name of a young
woman to the department. The ques-
tion arose as to whether woman was
eligible for appointment.
There did not appear to be any le-
gal reason to interfere and the young
woman in question was on the point
Of receiving the job when there was
discovered a statute in large bold
type which stated that carriers were
to wear trousers.
The description Of the postal service
uniform had been fixed in detail by a
former postmaster general as follows:
FOR WINTER WEAR.
Trousers-Of same material and
color as coat (bluish mixed cadet
flannel or a heavy blush gray wor-
sted or serge), with fine broadcloth
piping one-fourth inch wide down the
outside seam. Side and two hip pock-
cts to be made Of strong durable ma
terials.
FOR SUMMER WEAR.
Trousers-Of same material as coat,
with black cloth cord one-fourth inch
wide down the outside seam. Side
and two hip pockets to be made Of
strong, durable material.
When this discovery was made 1t
was decided to ask the civil service
commission to hold another examina-
tion. Acting Postmaster General
Grandfelds native modesty compell-
ing him to abstain from asking the
young woman who was eligible wheth-
er II appointed she would comply
with the law and regulations regard
ing dress.
1t has been suggested that the
young woman might wear a direc-
tolre skirt OF light material over the
regulation trousers.
