WILD GEESE.

They Never Feed Without Throwing
Out Scouts or 8sntriss.
Some Of the common sayings con-
corning birds are stupidity wrong.
You stupid gooser' is an expression
constantly heard, yet the goose. wheth-
er wild or tame. Is most sagacious.
Wild geese. for instance. never feed
without throwing out scouts or sen
tries. J. q. Millais describes how no
saw a flock Of geese feeding with SEN
tries out and how after a time one of
the sentries went up to bird that
was feeding and gave 1t gentle peck
on the back. The latter thereupon left
its grazing and went OFF to take up
guard, while the sentry took its turn
to feed
Gentle rs dove" Is such a CON-
mon proverb that the dove has become
the emblem Of peace. Quite a mis-
take, for all the dove and pigeon tribe
are great fighters, and in the breeding
season the cock birds indulge in bat
ties royal.
The foolish prejudice against all
birds of prey includes that pretty little
hawk the kestrel. Now, II the kestre
were known as the mouse falcon 1t Is
possible that keepers would not in.
variably shoot 1t on sight. The kestrel
lives mainly on mice and wireworms
1t is quite innocent Of killing par
tridges.
| In game preserving district In
southern Scotland kestrels were prac-
tically exterminated few years ago.
What was the result? Over a tract of
country Of Zoo square miles field mice
increased In such myriads that the
grazing was absolutely ruined. Ono
sheep farmer lost 5000 In one year.

to Be Genial.
In the History of Beverly" Mass,
the following anecdote is related of a
good Justice of the peace In the old CO.
lonial times. On cold night In winter
traveller called at his house for lodg-
ing. The ready hospitality Of the JUS
tice was about being displayed when
the traveller unluckily uttered word
which his host considered profane.
Upon this he informed his guest that
he was magistrate. pointed out the
nature Of the offense and explained the
necessity of Its being expiated by sit
ting an hour in the stocks.
Remonstrance was unayailing, for
custom at that time allowed the mag
istrate to convict and punish at once,
and in this case he acted as accuser.
witness, jury. judge and sheriff. all in
one.
Cold as 1t was, our worthy justice,
aided by his son. conducted the travel
er to the place Of punishment. an open
place near the meeting house where
the stocks were placed. Here the trav-
eler was confined In the usual manner,
the benevolent executor of the law re-
naming with him to beguile the time
Of Its tedium by edifying conversation.
At the expiration Of the hour he was
reconducted to the house and hospita-
bly, entertained till the next morning,
when the traveller departed with. let
us hope, determination to consider
his words more carefully before giving
them utterance In the hearing OF con-
scientious magistrate.

APAN'S PAG0DAS.
They Are Built to Rssist the Shock Of

They Are Built to Resist the Shock Of
an Earthquake.
A remarkable fact In Japan Ii that
pagodas built hundreds of years ago
embody the principle of the modern
selsmograph, which Is to minimize the
effect Of earthquake motion by the
combination Of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum. or. In
other words, by the union Of a stable
and an unstable structure to produce
neutral stability, which renders the
whole building least sensible to earth

In the hollow well of every Eve sto-
ried pagoda heavy mass of timber il
suspended freely, like an exaggerated
tongue. from the top right to the
ground. but not In contact with II, and
at the shock OF an earthquake this
large pendulum slowly swings and the
structure sways and then settles back
safely upon Its base.
This is also the principle followed In
the construction of all bell towers
throughout Japan. where the bell acts
as pendulum. and the roof, supported
by posts. forms an inverted pendulum.

The Wheel Problem.

Which, at any given moment, IL NOV
ing forward faster-the top of coach
wheel or the bottom?
The answer to this question seems
simple enough, but probably nine per-
sons out Of ten, asked at random,
would give the wrong reply. 1t would
appear ut first sight that the top and
bottom must be moving at the same
rate-that is. the speed Of the carriage.
But by little thought 1t will be dis
covered that the bottom of the wheel
is in fact. by the direction Of Its mo-
ton around its axis, moving backward.
In an opposite direction to that which
the carriage is advancing and Is con-
seQuently stationary In space, while
the point on top Of the wheel Is NOV
ing forward with the double velocity
Of Its own motion around the axis and
the speed at which the carriage moves.

Women Who Hate Men.

From time to time strange instances
crop up OF women who not merely re-
main unmarried OF their own free will,
but carry their antipathy to the oppo-
site sex to most peculiar lengths.
Thus one of these Is utterly resolved
TO have nothing whatever to do with
men on any pretext All her food Is
bought of women. and consequently
meat never appears on her table. since
there Is no female butcher In her
neighborhood.
Not long since a handsome legacy
WAS refused simply because 1t came
from man, while instances are
known Of women who make 1t their
boast that they have neither spoken to
nor allowed one Of the opposite sex to
cross their thresholds for quarter OF
century and upward
But probably the bitterest man hater
of modern days was an Austrian lady
who at the time of her death was en-
gagged in perfecting an elaborate plaI
for the ultimate extinction of the male

Cash Of the Aneients.

The little brass cash, the Chinese
coins. are the lineal descendants, in
unbroken order. Of the bronze az Of
remote Celestial ancestors. From the
regular Ratchet to the modern coin one
can trace a distinct II somewhat bro
ken succession, SO that It is impossible
to say where the one leaves OF and
the other begins. Here is how this
curious pedigree first worked itself out:

trail Africa at the present day. At first
the Chinese in that unsophisticated age
were content to use real hatchets for
this commercial purpose. but after a
time, with the profound mercantile In
stinct Of their race, 1t occurred to
some of them that when q man wanted
half hatchet's worth of goods he
might as well pay for them with half
a Ratchet. Still, as 1t would be q pity
to spoil good working implement by
cutting 1t In two. the worthy All Sin
ingeniously compromised the matter
by making thin hatchets Of the usual
size and shape, but far too slender for
practical usage. By SO doing he in
vented coin. and, what is more, he In
vented 1t far earlier than the claimants
to that proud distinction, the Lydians.

shave was finished the barber asked,

aiamarek and 3.

Bismarck had an intense aversion to
10, but generation for the num-
Der 3. His reasons for his pre-
objection were that he served three
masters; he was responsible for and
fought in three great wars; he signed
three treaties Of peace; he arranged
the meeting Of three emperors; he es-
tablished the triple alliance; in the
Franco-P russian war three horses were
killed under him; he had three names
bismarck, Schoenhausen and Lauen-
burg; he acquired three titles count,
prince, duke; the ancient arms Of his
family are leaf of clover and three
oak leaves. His family motto, "ln
trinitate robur" cStrength In trim
ity'), was surely In itself sufficient to
give a leaning in this particular direc-
ton. So closely were his feelings as
ISOLATED with the triple number that
the caricaturists represented him with
three hairs on his head. He had three
children.
