HOODED CROW OF CEYLON

The hooded crow of Ceylon, unlike
many crows, is not a bird that haunts
lonely Places it delights in society
and makes nests about towns that are
full of people. Handsome trees grow
in the towns frequently, and from the
windows of the houses it is easy to
see into the crows nests placed among
the trees The hooded crows are al
ways on the watch; they are not at
all timid, and have a quiet way of
swooping down which is rather start
ling People often sit in the open air
taking breakfast; should the table be
left a minute, the crows fly to the spot
and seize whatever they like of the
food, leaving their footmarks upon the
white tablecloth or perhaps on pats of
butter.
Then again in the market place
there often sits a woman who fries
cakes to sell to the public in her little
hut.
An artful crow knows what she Is
doing, and waits for his chance. She
has made her cakes and laid them on
a small round basket ready FIR a Gus
toner, but steps back a minute to get
her areca nut to chew. This is the
birds opportunity; he takes couple
of cakes, it may be, and hops off.
The woman is tempted to folow him,
thinking she may save one, but it is an
unWise act; other birds are lurking
near, and in her absence down they
come, take cakes, dried fish and any
thing else, and possibly smash some of
her crockery before she can get back to
guard her stall.
Yet the hooded crow is by no means
a useless Bird it clears from the
streets many things which might prove
unwholesome. Though not in the least
afraid of the natives, a hooded crow
breads the white man and his gun;
even a stick pointed to the sky will
send one away at full speed.-Seattle

WHY THEY QUARRELED

"Women are the vain things" said
the moody railroad clerk who had
quarreled with "his g.rl'' and couldn't
help telling about it, Then he went
on: "Tve been calling on her good
while, but today when / got hold of
her hand I noticed her third finger was
swollen. I found a tiny ring on it cut
deep into the flesh. She told me her
grandmother, when she was dying,
gave her the ring. The girl was then

off. I found out the ring hurt her, so

I got the thin, fiat key under the ring
and then filed across it, She said 1t

it over her, and she came to slowly.
By that time l had the little ring off.
After a while she held up her hand
and looked at the fearfully swollen
digit, and tears came in her eyes.

spoiled my hand. How'll 1 ever cover

"She didn't say This is so sudden
But she did say: Why, Jim, you're

"Why, YOU see," answered the lady

THE TAILoR's DAUGHTER


destined to be my father-in -law-had a
very beautiful daughter. All the young
men of the place courted her. One day
two rivals-you know one of them
came to see the girl
1T is for your sake that we have
come" they said.
What do you want with me?" she
asked.
I'VE love you" said both, land
each of US wishes to marry you"
The girl called her father, who lis
tened to what the two suitors had to
say.
TT is getting late" then said the
tailor Come again tomorrow, and
you shall be informed which of you
two my daughter has chosen
At daybreak the next morning the
young men returned.
Here we are!" they said to the
tailor. Remember your promise to us
yesterday"
Again the tailor put them off. 81 am
going to the market he said, Ito buy
some cloth. When 1 come back with it
1 will tell you what 1 want you to do
On the tailors return he summoned
his daughter. When she had come, he
told the younk fellows that he had
task for them.
my sons" he said, there are two of
you I have only one daughter To
whom am 1 to give her? Here is a
piece of CLOTH out of which l Will cut
two similar garments. Each of you
shall sew one and he who first finishes
his task shall be rewarded with my
daughters hand"
The tailor then turned to his daugh-
ter "Take this thread" he ordered,
"and prepare it for the workers"
The girl took the ball of thread and
seated herself beside her lovers.
She knew well enough to which of
the two she wished success. Neither
her father nor the young men knew
which she loved, but she herself knew
perfectly. The tailor went out. The
rivals took their needles and set to
work. The cunning maiden gave short
needlefuls of thread to the youth whom
she loved, and long neediefuis to the
other. Each sewed with diligence and
ardor At II o'clock the work was
scarcely half done. At 3 o'clock in the
afternoon the worker with the snort
needlefuls had accomplished his task,
but the other had not nearly finished
his. for it took him much longer to
pul1' the thread through the stitches.
When the tailor returned, the happy
winner brought him the finished gar
ment. The rival candidate was sewing
away still.
"My sons" said the tailor, "I wished
to treat you DOtn WITH perfect ldll-
ness, and to give to each of you an
equal chance That was the reason
why I divided the piece of cloth into
equal portions, and told you that he
who finished first should become my
son-in-law. Did you understand"
"Oh. yes!" replied both winner and
loser. 1--WE understood you perfectly,
and accepted the test. What is done
is we'll done"
But-as one of these young men has
since discovered-the tailor was not so
entirely disinterested as he desired to
appear. HE who finishes first" he
reasoned, twill thereby prove himself
the cleverest workman, and the clev-
crest workman will be of the most use
in my shop" But the young mans
cleverness had, as we have seen, moth
ing to do with the result of the test;
it was the cleverness of the girl which
decided the matter. In this way she
obtained the husband of her choice,
while her father overreached himself.
