Butter From Birds.

In South America is to be found
a bird from which a species of but

is known as the coil bird" and one
of its favorite haunts is the island
of Trinidad. 1t breeds in rocky
caves on the mainland, laying its
eggs in a nest constructed of mud.
The young birds are extraordinary

melted down in clay pots, produces
a kind of butter, says London Tit

Strenuous Fatalism.

missing from the rack made of an

A Circus Rorse In Battle.

Colonel Charles Marshall. who
was aid-de-camp to General Robert
E. Lee and who went through the
battles of the war with his chief
told the following amusing story OF
his experience with a new horse
His old horse had been shot from
under him in the fight Of the pre-
vious day, and he had taken posses
sion of an animal that seemed to
suit the work. In the battle few
hours later he was riding across a
field in which there were numerous
stumps.
Suddenly the performance open
ed. The guns roared, and the air
was filed with smoke and noise.
Before Colonel Marshall knew
what was happening the horse had
his four feet on one Of the stumps
and was gayly dancing in a circle.
In the meantime the firing was in
creasing, and the situation was any
thing but comfortable. But the
horse kept on as if he were enjoy
ing it. .,

RUNNING THE RHEA.
Relative of Ostrich Chased With Dog
and Horse.

For the person who desires a
unique form Of sport running the
rhea" in southern Patagonia is rec
commended. The rhea is a member
of the ostrich family, bat somewhat
smaller. 1t runs with the swiftncss
of greyhound or a fast horse End
has a knack of doubling on its
track, which often serves il in clad
ing its pursuers. The na'hcs in
hunting it use horses, doc, aud the
bola. The dogs course AMER the
fleeing bird in full cry, while the
hunters follow after at top speed,
prepared to throw the bola il op-
portunity offers.
The boIa, consisting Of two or
three heavy balls of lead or stone
attached to thong Fix or eight
feet long, serves TO hamper the
movements Of the bird, for the
balls Irvine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless OF
whether it be the legs. neck or
wings. This permits the dogs and
hunters to overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
At the approach of danger the
rhea will often crouch flat upon the
ground with neck outstretched UNI
der the grass, remaining motionless
until the dogs have passed. This
strategem is often successful when
the wind is blowing against the
scent, but when the contrary is the
case the dogs soon discover the hid
ing bird. In this case, doubtless
bewildered by the sudden failure Of
its artless ruse, it makes no attempt
at escape.
The chase of the rhea, which
sometimes extends over a distance
of five or six miles, is a thrilling
one. 1t has for the rider all the ex-
citement Of a horse race, with the
added satisfaction of knowing that
the winning of the race will result
in a welcome addition to the larder.
The wings of the rhea have a flavor
not unlike that of turkey, and if
one is not averse to the taste of
horsehesh the meat of the thigh Is
very satisfactory. The rhea is one
of the main food supplies on Pat
agonian hunting trip.-New York
Tribune.

SLIPS OF THE TONGUE.
Even tho Disnifisd English Butler Can
Go Astrsy at Times.

A little story which has just
found its way across the Atlantic
from an English country house tells
of the recent slip made by a new
and nervous butler in serving his
master, a duke, at the luncheon ia
bic. Quiet, respectful and assidu-
Gus, he proffered dish with the in
sinuating query:
"Cold grace, your grouse?"
The slip is 80 obviously a nat
ural one that doubtless the tale is
true. Thus far it is also unchal-
lenged as new, although probably
by the time it has made the full
round of the press somebody will
discover that in its original form
it was an Athenian chestnut" in
the days Of Socrates.
An anecdote which at least be-
longs to the same family used to be
laughed over in early Victorian
drawing rooms.
Among the royalties, great and
little, who came to London for the
young queens coronation there
was a certain small, dried up, gray
haired, bright eyed, brisk little old
reigning prince of a tiny principali-
ty. He was faraway cousin to an
Irish duke, whose estates in Ire
land he visited before returning.
For his entertainment a village Gel
ebration was arranged, with games
and dances, and especially Irish jigs
and clog dances.
The gay old prince was delight
ed. He came himself Of race ia
nous for its dancing. He still pos
sessed a good eye, quick car and
light foot. That same evening IN
the great hall Of the castle, to the
whistling of his hosts son, ne en-
deavored to emulate some Of the
feats he had seen.
The dukes solemn English but
Ter was present, and his horror at
such unroyal antics was reflected in
his eyes. The prince perceived 1t
and, shooting a sudden foreflnger
at him, demanded imperiously;
''Eh! Tell me, then, what you
think of my dancing'
Discreet and dignifed, but fur
ried inwardly, the buffers manner
was perfect, but his tongue betray-
ed him. He answered:
"Your royal spryness is certain

There was a shout of laughter,
and the duke, with assumed anger,
cried sternly: "What! Do you dare
to insinuate that the prince is ele-
vated-that his vivacity is due to
any other good spirits than his
own !"
Before such an accusation the
Door buffers last remnant of COM
