an unusual thing to see carriages or
automobiles standing in the drives in
the neighborhood of McGown's pass
while the occupants toss out nuts or
invite the squirrels to approach and
take the nuts from the hand; or the
occupants themselves descend and
meet the squirrels half way. The Wis
itors and the bushy-tailed quadrupeds
have their trysting places where the
daily meetings take place The park
keepers prosaically style these feeding
grounds.
The squirrels are one of the puzzles
of the park. Do they never die ex-
cept beneath the swiftly and silently
revolving wheels of the motor car? 1t
is the common testimony Of the park
keepers that they never find the body
of a squirrel which has died from
natural causes. There is no tree
thoroughfare for them between their
home and the open country Presum-
ably they do go the way of all life;
therefore, it must be that their graves
are as the grave of Moses, whereof
no man knoweth.

where poultry is left to themselves,
for here it is invariably the male

fully matured sexual characters that
becomes what is customarily called
''the cock of the walk"
Where birds are bred for certain
desirable characters as to plumage
and other standard requirements,
things take on an entirely different as
pect for natural selection and the
survival of the fittest are set aside,
supplanted by artificial selection
which may, as we all know, work an
entire change in species for better
or worse, as the requirements of the
fancy may dictate, which is really the
guiding and in many instances the rul-
ing principle of the poultry world to-
day, and making breeders do what
their better judgment pronounces the
final undoing of the breed.

On the other hand, a male may be

Automobiles and Stones Chief
Enemies of New York Pets.
Little Animals That Inhabit Central
Park So Popular II Was Supposed
They Had No Enemies-They
Have Numerous Friends.

The gray squirrels of Central park
have so many friends and are so popu-
lar that it has generally been sup
posed they have no enemies. The Wis
itor to the park sees them slowly zig
tagging across the lawns, smiling here
and there for the nuts buried in the
time of plethora. The proximity of
pedestrian, carriage or automobile
does not disturb their equanimity in
the least. Although they and all the
world seem to be at peace with each
other they have an enemy. Possibly
1T is technically not an enemy, for
enemies have evil motives, but the
results are just the same to the SPUR
rels as If it were When a squirrel
sits up on its bushy tail with a startled
look in its shiny, black, shoe button
like eyes, if one may judge from the
feelings of many of the other inhabi-
tanst of New York, it is beseeching
the powers that be for a further re-
duction in the speed of automobiles.
Like the children in the streets. the
squirrels sometimes become bewilder-
ed when attempting to cross the two
opposing currents of traffic. They,
too, become victims of civilizations
latest juggernaut.
Unfortunately, they have other enc
mics, also. A good many school boys
think 1t amusing to throw stones and
sticks at the squirrels. One of their
best friends is Thomas Davis, one of
the park keepers and veteran of the
civil war, whose beat is across the
northern end of the park in the neigh
borhood of the Block house He chases
away the mischievous boys and more
malicious men who attempt to modest
his small friends.
On one occasion, he says, he saw
an Italian throw a stone at a squirrel
with such accuracy that it almost
severed one of it's hind legs. The
squirrel deliberately bit through the
piece of flesh which held the useless
limb to his body, thus amputating it.
The wound healed and the squirrel is
still alive and friend of the old keep
er. Some time previous to this Incl
dent Davis came upon squirrel
whose bushy tail had been cut off, ap-
parently by sharp-edged rock thrown
at it. Occasionally arrests are made
for annoying the squirrels Only few
weeks ago a man was arrested as he
was in the act of playing a practical
joke on a squirrel. He had thrust a
lighted cigar into it's mouth. Still
more recently an 1S-year-old high
school boy was arrested for stoning
squirrels.

In the selection of breeding stock
the individuals that have developed
most strongly the primary characters
of their sex should always be given
the preference, but as this matter of
strong sex individuality is not always
taken into consideration by the aver
age breeder he, in many cases, works
against his own success because sue
cess in full measure can never be
attained except this matter is fully
understood and bred for, as we'll as
any other characteristics of the breed.
There are effeminate males and
masculine females-those in which the
characters of the opposite sex are I'M
usually developed and it is needless to
say that such do not make the best
parents from which to breed.
In the selection of the male bird,
none but a fully mature bird should
be used to perpetuate his kind, and by
fully mature bird we are to under
stand a bird which has developed all
his secondary sexual characters as
near to full perfection as it is posi-
BILE.
Nature has some laws that cannot
lightly be trifed with and this is one
of them; for though it is true that an
immature bird may be bred from, yet
this same bird under more natural con-
ditions would never find enough mates
to do much damage to the type of the
breed
The older bird is better furnished
with means of defense and the younger
is routed from the breeding preserves,
and until by the means of successful
battle he can maintain his position as
sire of the flock in the natural state
his chances are very slender for propa-
cation.
In fact this state of things can be
observed in almost any farm yard

HE PUZZLED THE BRITIsHER
Evidently Doorkeeper Had Never
Heard Of the Lord That Amerl-
can Minister Served.

Judge George F. Lawton of the Mid
olesex probate court told me q story
the other day Of an American minis
ter who was spending his sabbatical
year travelling abroad. Arriving in
London, he made every effort to get
an intimate view of the two branches
or parliament in session. OF course
no stranger is allowed on the floor of
the house of lords, but the minister
not knowing this, and with the usual
amount Of American push, tried to
make his way in. There is a rule,
however. that servants of the various
lords may be admitted to speak to
their ministers. Seeing the minister
walking boldly in. the doorkeeper
asked:
What lord do you server"
What lord?" repeated the aston
ished American, "the lord Jehovah!"

once"
So the nurse got up and dressed and
the musicians were made to turn out
of bed and come and play until his i'm
perial highness, the lord heir apparent,
signified by dropping off to sleep that
they might stop.
The car and cZarina were delighted
at this little incident, which they con.
sidered showed the f1rmness and will
of little Aloysha. They also were
pleased at the obstinacy with which
the child refused to wear a new mill
tary cap which has been given him.
But look said an attendant, point
ing to one of the officers, don't you
see that that general has cap like
yours"
Il don't care if he has," said the
small prince. I'm not going to wear
one" And he did not.
A lady of the court recently told an
amusing story about Aloysha's prayers.
To the establishment of the nurse he
ended the usual devotions he says be-
fore the silver icon in the nursery
every evening by shouting at the top
of his voice, "Hurrah, Cod" The
good woman told him he ought not to
do so.
why not?" he asked.
Because one cannot say 'hurrah' to
God" she answered.
But when father goes out every
body says 'hurrah,'" he argued God
is much greater than father, SO why
should one not also say 'hurrah' to
him?"
And the lady who told the story re-
marked piously: Fancy what an in
telIect that child has! He is only four
and yet knows that God is greater
than his father"
Most ordinary mortals knew this at
the age of four, but perhaps when
ones father is an autocrat and one is
| taught that in time to come one will
be able to order about 10000, 900 peo-
pie it is more difficult to grasp.
Alyosha has been taken to reviews
since he was in long clothes; indeed,
it may be said that the car has ex-
plotted his baby. Soldiers can be
stirred up to great enthusiasm at the
sight of an infant who will some day

made full use of this fact. Last sum-
mer Alyosha was driven along the
ranks of soldiers at a review, sitting
at his mothers side. He bowed his
little curly head to them until he fell
asleep from sheer WEAKNESS.
He already realizes the responsible
ties and the privileges of his exalted
rank. The last time he returned to
Peterhof after cruise in the Gulf of
Finland he refused point blank to
drive to the palace in the same car

In proportion to the number of their

the large number of its nut trees. The

father is weak and vacillating.
A few days ago the car sent one
OF his generals to interview the little
prince. The officer found an exciting
game going on in the nursery when
he entered: but it stopped immediate

Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-

beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

youth was found in the Arkansas
River near Nepasta with a strap
drawn tightly around the neck.
The mother in her dream had seen
the boy lying cold in death on the

away on a horse in the darkness.
Num- is alleged to. have told the
police that he lured the boy to take
an overland journey, thinking Walker
had some money. All he got was a
saddle and SIS, which he took from
the body after shooting him as he
slept. The body was too heavy to
carry, so he put the strap around the
neck and dragged it to the river
