WILD GEESE.

They Never Feed Without Throwing
Out Scouts or ssntriss.
Some Of the common sayings con-
corning birds are stupidity wrong.
You stupid goosew 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. ]. G. Millais describes how he
saw flock Of geese feeding with SEN
tries out and how after 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 OF to take up
guard. while the sentry took its turn
to feed
Gentle as a dove" Is such a COM
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 kestrel
were known as the mouse falcon It II
possible that keepers would not In
variably shoot it on sight. The kestrel
lives mainly on mice and wireworms.
1t is quite innocent Of killing par

In game preserving district In
southern Scotland kestrels were prac-
tically exterminated few years ago.

SHY LONDONERS.
A Trait That Brands Them a. Un-
sociable and Abrupt.

soeiable and Abrupt.
What complicated thing Is the
character of the Londoner. Out Of
pure shyness he becomes disagreeably
abrupt; out of pure fear of intrusion be
becomes unsociable. A number Of un-
acquainted men In the same tramway
car will never think of entering into
conversation as they would anywhere
else in the world Silently they leave
the car as they entered It. And yet 1t
does not seem natural to me that they
should not prefer to converse But
they are afraid to intrude; besides,
they have not been introduced"
Proper" introduction is one OF the
characteristics of the Londoner. In
Germany when man enters private
room containing people he does not
know or II he sits down at table
outside a restaurant-in fact. when.
ever he comes into touch with stran-
ger-he will make his bow and an
nounce his name. He will introduce
himself Then both will chat like old
acquaintance. But 1t Is ten to one
that neither of them caught the num-
bled name OF the other, nor did they
care. To both OF them their meeting
has been an episode to be forgotten the
very next second. And 1t not infre-
| quently happens that a man will turn
10 some friend. asking: Did you see
me talk to that man? Who is he? He
mentioned his name. but did not
quite catch It,"

thinks they would actually like to
know each other. Then, however. the
name Is not only mumbled or men-
toned. but grappled with. The two
men NJ once impress that name upon
their minds associate the person with
the name and forget neither the one
nor the other. An introduction In Lon

the tandem finally caught the thief,
the next man caught him and the
next caught him, and SO on, until
there was a very complicated row.
In the end there was an explana-
