BIRDS THE, FIRST TO STAND
The Only Lower Creation of Nature That Habitually Does So, Ac-
 cording to Scientists.

And let us note that the art of standing began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far as I know every rep tile, be it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise, lays its body on the ground when not actually carrying it. And these have each four fat legs. Contrast the famingo, which, having only two, and those like will low wands, tucks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other, like tulip on its stem
 Note also that one toe has been altogether discarded by birds as superfuous. The germ, or bud, must be there. for the Dorking fowl has produced fifth toe under some in- fluence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four.
 Except in swifts, which never perch, but cling to rocks and walls, one IS turned backward, and by a cunning contrivance the act of bend- ing the leg draws thep all auto matically together So a hen closes its toes at every step it takes, as if it grasped something and of course when it settles down on its roost they grasp that tight and hold it fast till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch this mechanism is only an encum- brance, so many of them, like the plovers, abolish the hind toe entire ly, and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of one of the front toes also, retaining only two.-Strand Magazine.

growing weary OF the noisy
and Incorporate agitation OF

ton OF some imaginary
wrongs OF the female sex and for the
establishment of some purely hypo-
thetical rights.
II is calculated to dissatisfy some

is nothing materially the matter.
The agitation is half century old.
but its present expression is notable
for incessant complaints against men

II Is time now that some reciprocal

hibited To the ladies'. And this not
necessarily fiattering. but essentially
for information.
The advocates OF woman suffrage
are making several serious mistakes.
! First OF all. they should understand
that men who hold the decision will
never be willing to grant woman
equal suffrage until woman shows a
more united front in asking for IL,
IL Is a comparative small proportion
OF the sex who are engaged In the
present agitation. II is freely stated
and generally believed that the num-
Der OF women who oppose suffrage is
vastly larger than those who favor IL.
And those who deny this are dem.
agogues. dallying with the dishrag OF

OF the suffragists should be among

Whether man and the monkey had a

true that they have many character

Both are imitators
Most men persist In doing a thing
long after the necessity for doing il
has ceased.
In architecture, for instance, the
follies OF some one man may be con
tinued in a community for hundred
years or more.
Almost every town has some pecu-
liar feature in its houses that is per
petuated by carpenters, builders and
planning mill men. acQuiesced in by the
owner
And nobody knows why.
More and more we will look to the
country for rest. The trolley lines
are bringing the woods and the city
closer together. A house for every
family will some day-it must-be the
rule.
The average American home Is an
imitation palace, wherein the owner
Is as lavishly extravagant as his In
come makes possible. The idea OF
lessening work for servants or house
keeper is never considered.
A poor man will build house that
makes his wife q slave, and servants,
which he can't afford, a necessity.
