WILD GEESE.

They Never Feed Without Throwing
Out Scouts or Sentries.
Some of the common sayings con-
corning birds are stupidity wrong.
"You stupid goosev' 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. e. Millais describes how he
saw flock Of geese feeding with SEN
tries out and how after a time one of
the sentries went up to a bird that
was feeding and gave it gentle peck
on the back. The latter thereupon left
its grazing and went off to take up
guard, while the sentry took it's turn
to feed.
Gentle as a dove" is such 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 ali
birds of prey includes that pretty little
hawk the kestrel. Now. if the kestrel
were known as the mouse falcon it is
possible that keepers would not in
variably shoot it on sight. The kestrel
lives mainly on mice and wireworms.
It is quite innocent of killing par
tridges.

A DANGEROUS MISTAKE
Primo etan Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness In Children.

Most children have weak kidneys.
The earliest warning is bed-wetting.
Later comes backache, -su,headache,
languor. IT'S mistake to neglect
these troubles: to blamessthe child for
it's own distress. Seek to cure the
kidneys-save the child from deadly
kidney ills. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys.
Mrs. Frank Dimmick, S. First Ave-.
Anoka, MIMI, says: "My son had.
kidney complaint from infancy. He
was unable to retain the kidney secre.
tions which weakness caused much
annoyance. I gave him many rem
edies, but he received no satisfac-
tory relief until Doan's Kidney Pills
were used. After he had taken the

THE BLUE WHALE:
A Monster Skeleton That Is Eiahty-
seven Feet In Lenqth.

A Monster Skeleton That Is Eighty
seven Feet In Length.
What is claimed as the largest ami
NAL in the world is represented by a
colossal skeleton in. the museum Of
Christchurch, New Zealand, says the
London Globe. This is the remains Of
q large specimen of the blue whale
stranded on the coast of that country.
This whale is probably the largest of
all living animals. The length of the
skeleton is eighty-seven feet, and the
head alone is twenty-one feet. The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
it's name of blue whale from the dark
blush gray Of its upper surface. The
tinge of yellow on it's lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which it is known on the western side
of the Atlantic. It is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera sib-
baldii).
The chief food Of this gigantic ami
NAL is a small marine crustacean
CThysanopoda inermis), known to the
whales as ''kril." Another species of
the same shrimplike group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs Of mackerel caught on the Corn
ish coast. The nearly related opossum
shrimps found in enormous numbers
in the Greenland seas form the chief
food Of the common whale. Some of
the thysanopodae are phosphorescent
and contribute to the luminosity Of the
sea.

Their Appearance When the Skin Is

Of all the feet that have looked at
know only one more utterly ridicu-
lous than the twisted ripper on which
the sea lion props his great bulk in
front, and that is the forked fly flap
which extends from the hinder part of
the same. How can it be worth any
beasts while to carry such an absurd
apparatus with it just for the sake of
getting out into the air sometimes and
pushing oneself about on the ice and
being eaten by polar bears? The por-
poise has discarded one pair, turned the
other into decent fins and recovered a
grace and power Of motion in water
which is not equaled by the greyhound
on land. Why have the seals hung
back? believe I know the secret. It
is the baby! No one knows where the
pOrpOise and the whale cradle their
newborn infants-it is so difficult to
pry into the domestic ways of these
sea people-but evidently the seals
cannot manage it, so they are forced
to return to the land when the cares of
maternity are on them.

TESTING THE TEACHER.
a Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1922.


Boston In 1922.
In the, town records Of the city of
Boston there is curious passage
which records how a schoolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner in which the visit Of inspection
Is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
II he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of May,
1922, it is set forth that:
"Coll Pen Townsend, jeremiah AL
len Esqr. & John Edwards together
with the Select men, VISITED the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
of Boston on Thursday the oath apll

Whereupon it was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the "Said South

ATHLETIC TRAINING.
To Acquire an Excess Of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.

80 acquire an EXCESS OF muscle May.
Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive than
the idea that by period Of athletic
training man can lay in stock of
health and strength upon which he can
draw later while engaged in a seden-
tary occupation. The truth is that the
big muscles and hypertrophied heart
of the athlete are perilous possessions
for the man who no longer has the
time or the inclination for using them.
When he stops the exercises by which
he gained them, instead Of simply re-
turning to their original size they suf-
fer one or another of the many forms
of degeneration and become incapable
of performing their original services.
1t is not quite true that all exercise
for it's own sake is harmless, for it is
well to be prepared for the meeting of
ife's little emergencies as we'll as It's
ordinary and daily demands. but it
probably is true that, the emergencies
apart, every man does enough in going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself in the condi-
ton which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides is
superfuous or injurious. That athletics
take one into the open air is less a
commentator Of athletics than an in
dictment of our houses, Offices and
stores for lack of adequate ventilation.

we could get along we'll enough with

AUSTRALIAN DING0S.
Treacherous and Destructive Animals
That Can Feign Death.

That Can Feign Death.
There are some who believe, though
the evidence seems against them. that
certain OF the wild dogs. like the Aus
tralian dingo-'yellow dog dingo, al
ways hungry, dusty in the sun''-are
reversions to the wild state of a race
once tame, just as the pariah dogs of
various countries have travelled half
the road toward becoming wild ami
mails again.
AS one sees the dingo here in the
gardens it looks not merely like a do
mesticated dog, but like a dog of a
distinctly engaging and amicable kind.
The dingo's character bellies it's gentle
looks. "Quarrelsome. sly and treach-
erous," an Australian naturalist has
called it. So sly is it that, according
to Mr.. Beddard in 1.-THE Cambridge
Natural History" it feigns death with
such persistence that an individual has
been known to be partly flayed before
moving" and so treacherous that in the
days when dingos were more COM
monty kept as pets by the colonists
than. as result of bitter experience,
is the case today it was no unusual
thing for the dog which had been
brought up with every tenderness from
puppyhood to turn suddenly on it's
master or mistress, or. what was more
frequent, when left in temporary
charge Of an empty house to seize the
opportunity to raid the sheepfold or
the poultry runs.
On such occasions it ravens even
as the wolf, killing not to satisfy its
hunger, but in the understandable fury
OF brute instinct, so that, given time
enough, it will not leave one fowl or
one sheep alive. That it does not need
much time, moreover, is shown by the
statement Of Thomas Ward that lone
dingo in the course of a few hours
has been known to destroy several
score Of sheep" For its fighting abil-
1ty the same authority declares it to
be match for most domestic dogs of
double its size.
When wild it hunts in packs, which
are said sometimes to include as many
as a hundred individuals, though from
six to a dozen is the common number,
and the only Australian animal which

pull down is Tin spite of Mr.. Kipling)
