THE PRISON BIRD.
TyrannicaI and Jealous Feathered
 .-.- Beauty of Africa .....

TvrannicaI and Jealous Feathered .-.- Beauty of Africa ....s
 The peculiarity of the prison bird, a feathered beauty of Africa, is that he is the most tyrannical and jealous of husbands, imprisoning his mate throughout her nesting time. Living stone watched the birds habits while in Monpour, and in his subsequent Ob- servations referred to the nest as prison and the female bird as a slave.
 The nest is built in the hollow of tree through an opening in the bark. AS soon as it is completed the mother bird enters carefully and fearfully and settles down in 1t. Then papa walls up the opening, leaving only just space enough for air and food to pass through. He keeps faithful guard and brings food at regular intervals with out fail. The female thrives under her enforced retirement. But if the prison bird is killed or in any other way pre- vented from fulfilling his duties the mother and her little ones must die of starvation, for she cannot free herself from bondage.
 Normally the Imprisonment lasts un- til the chicks are old enough to fly. Then the male bird destroys the bar rier with his beak and liberates his family. ''It is charming" writes Liv- ingstone, "to see the joy with which the little prisoners greet the light and the unknown world"

Hiasfna and Encores.

Kissing in playhouses had it's origin fin Paris in 1880 on the occasion of the presentation of Fontenelle's tragedy, "Aspar." Prior to that time suffering audiences were wont to yawn audibly and fall asleep when the apathy of the actors and performances justified that course. But on this occasion the in- dignant audience, driven to despera- ton by the platitudes of Aspar, voiced their anger by misses which drove the actors into temporary retirement, ac- cording to the testimony of the poet Roi. who alludes to the incident in his "Brevet de la Calotte." Kissing there after became fashionable.
 The first encore noted in the annals of the stage was accorded to Livius Andronicus, a Roman actor. He was popular with the masses and was called back so often to repeat his speeches that in self defense he brought a boy to declaim for him while he himself applied the gestures. While oncores became the rage in subSe- uuent ages, 1t is known that Androni- GUS plan of having an understudy be- fore him before the audience to share his honors has not generally been adopted by Thespians.-show World.

Which. Foot Walks Fastsrf

You may think this very silly ques
 tion to ask, but it isn't. It4s a simple, demonstrable fact, which you can prove to your own satisfaction in a very few minutes. If you. will take pavement that is clear, so that there will be no interference, and walk brisk ly in the center, you wifi find that be- fore you have gone fifty yards you have veered very much to one side. You must not make any effort, of course, to keep in the center, but If you will think of something and endeavor to walk naturally you cannot keep direct line: The explanation of this lies in the propensity of one foot to walk faster than the other, or one leg takes longer stride than the other, causing one to walk to one side. You can try an experiment. in this way by placing two sticks about eight feet apart, then stand ofr about sixty feet, blindfold yourself and endeavor to walk between them. You will find it almost tmpos- afhlA

THE NORMAN "OYEZ."
A Legacy of William the conqueror to
 the Courts.

A Legacy of William the Conqueror to
 the Courts. Everybody who has ever been in a United States courtroom knows that when the judge walks out of his cham bers and ascends the bench the court crier drones out:
 "Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court of the (whatever district 1t may bel is now in session."
 Not many persons, however, realize that the crier says "Oyez, Oyez, oyez." instead of ''harken, harken, harken, because of a chance visit that William the Conqueror made to an English court almost 900 years ago.
 William had Overrun England, seized the government and placed himself al it's head. Happening to enter court room, he heard the erier call the as semblage to order in English. William rebuked him and on the spot decreed that the business of all English courts should be transacted in Norman French, his native tongue. Afterwarc the courts went back to English, but tC this day "oyez, oyez, oyez," clings tt court customs wherever the Englisf language Is spoken as reminder O. the great Norman who whipped King Harold in the battle of Hastings ,SScraD Book.
