One of the oldest sea supersti-
tiOns has been connected with the
flying of birds. If the birds flew
high, that signifed good weather
If they skinned the water, that
meant bad weather. There is grad
ually spreading among the seamen
a superstition that if any animal is
aboard the vessel bad weather may
be deferred-even if the birds are
flying close to the water--if the
head of the animal is pointed aft
and is held in that direction for
some time.

klnn Laonold,s Answar.

Few monarchs have possessed a
more caustic tongue than the late
King Leopold Of Belgium when he
chose to exercise it. Once dispute
was raging in the Belgian army as
to whether the words of command
should be given in Flemish or
French. Neither side would givr
in, and at length it was agreed the
King Leopold should decide the
matter. The aged monarch asked
for a week in which to consider the
question. At the end Of that period
he summoned the leading generals
and announced that he had decided
that in future all orders should be
given in Esperanto. Needless TO
say, the aisputants managed TO come
10 some aIaicable arrangement.

Here is an offhand comment
made on Tennyscn by Thackeray in
a letter to Mrs. Proctor. Thackeray,
it will be remembered, knew Ten
nyson from the early undergraduate
days at Cambridge. Indeed Thack-
eray's verses "Timbuctoo" were
written in good natured parody of
Tennyson's prize poem. "Alfred
Tennyson," wrote Thackeray, "if
he can't make you like him will
make you admire him. He seems
to me to have the cachet of a great
man. His conversation is often de-
lightful, I think, full of Breadth,
manhness and humor. He reads all
sorts of things, swallows them and
digests them like a great poetical
boa constructor as he is. Perhaps it
is Alfred Tennyson's great big yell
low face and growing voice that
have made an impression on me.
Manliness and simplicity go a great
way with me, fancy"-Boolman.

AN OBSTINATE QUEEN.
Her Encounter With tho MsnssRu
Road Mender.


Road Mender.
Xavier Paoli, whose duty foR .
quarter of century was the safe
guarding Of royal visitors to France,
found the late Queen Elizabeth Of
Austria a recalcitraut charge. He
said:
"I was never easy SO long as she
obstinately refused to permit one
of my men to follow her, even at n
distance. Once, however, having
learned that the italian laboTers
who were mending the road to
Mentone had spoken in a threaten
ing way of the sovereigns who were
always coming to the country, /
begged the empress to be kind
enough not to walk in their diree-
ton. She was much displeased.
"FAlways afraidP she exclaimed
4 say again that l have no fear Of
them-and | will promise nothing
was as determined as she. I
doubled my watchfulness and took
it upon myself to send over The
Mentone road one of my Corsican
agents, dressed like a road mender,
but thoroughly armed beneath his
clothes, with directions to mingle
with the Italian laborers. Wearing
a pair of velveteen trousers and a
cotton jumper and made up to
look old and wrinkled, he was quite
unrecognizable. AS he spoke ItaI-
ian fluently, he disarmed all suspi-
cion, his companions taking him for
a newly hired eomrade.
'He was breaking stones as we'll
as he could when suddenly a well
known figure appeared at the turn
of the road. Darkness had begun to
to fall, and the empress, with her
reader, was returning to Cape Mar
tin. The false road mender waitcd
anxiously. When she came opposite
his group she stopped, hesitated a
moment, then singing him out, no
doubt because he seemed to be the
Oldest, she approached him, saying
gently:
"'That is a hard trade of yours,
my good fellow
"Not daring to raise his head, he
stammered few words in italian.
"'You do not speak French%
No sionora
"'You have children?'
"Yes, signora.'
= Then here is something for
them, and she slipped a gold piece
into his hand. Tell them it is from

"And the empress walked on.

DEGREES OF BURNS.
How They Are Marked and How Thsy
Should Be Treated.

1HSh'd ~" NiNaNSas
The medical books describe sever
al degrees of burns, according to the
amount of damage the fire has done
to the skin or the parts beneath.
The first degree consists merely
in redness and stinging of the skin,
such as is caused by the flame of a
match touching the finger for an in
slant or by a drop of hot wax from
candle falling on the hand. Ordi-
narily this is a trivial accident, and
the pain of it, if annoying, may be
subdued by applying a cloth wet
with a solution of cooking soda, but
if a large surface is burned, as when
cambric night dress catches fire
and blazes up for a moment, but is
quickly eXtinguishcd, the patient
may suffer severely from shock
In the second degree, blisters
form on the injured part. Care
must be taken not to tear the bis
ters-in removing the burned cloth
ing, for example. A little snip with
clean scissors or two or three pune
lures with clean needle should be
made in the part of the blister
which protrudes most, and as soon
as the water has drained away the
part should be covered with a cloth
wet with soda sluution or with
equal parts of limewater and olive
oil-called carron oil.
In burns of the third degree the
upper layer of the skin is destroyed.
This is the most painful of burns,
for the sensitive cutaneous nerves
are exposed The first thing to do
is to cover the part so as to protect
the barred nerve endings from con-
tact with the air. The same dress
ing as that for burns of the second
degree will give relief until the ply
sician comes. Carron oil is best,
but the soda solution is better than
nothing and much better than plain
water or oil.
IN burns Of the fourth degree
the third and fourth degrees usually
occur together-the skin is burned
through and the bare flesh is ex-
posed This, strange as it may
seem, is less painful than a third
degree burn, for now the nerve end
ings, which receive and transmit
the painful sensations, are entirely
destroyed. 1t is more serious in its
after effects, because it always
leaves a scar which is disfguring
and may contract and draw the part
out of shape
In burns of the fifth degree the
muscles and other tissues are more
or less extensively disintegrated,
and in those of the sixth degree the
entire limb-fnger, hand, arm,
foot or leg-is destroyed.
In all these seyerer burns there
is more or less shock, which may be
so profound as to kill, and there are
also serious symptoms caused by
congestion of the internal organ
and probably also by poison form
ed in the burned tissues.-Youth's
Companion.

WILD ANIMALS.
Man Is Steadily and Surely Wcrxl=c
Their Extinction.

HeH ENNfHSAioHs
Sir RAY Lancaster writes of the
enormous number of living crea-
lures which man has destroyed since
he first appeared on earth: Gwen
in prehistoric times it is probable
that man by hunting the mann
moth-the great hairy elephant
assisted in its extinction if he did
not actually bring it about. At a
remote prehistoric period the horses
of various kinds which abounded in
North and South America rapidly
and suddenly became extinct 1t
has been suggested, with some show
Of probability, that previously un-
known epidemic disease, due to a
parasitic organism-such as those
which we now see ravaging the
herds Of South Africa-found its
way to the American continent. And
1T is quite possible that this was
brought from the other hemisphere
by the first men who crossed the
Pacific and populated North Ameri-
ca
"To come to matters of certain
ty and not Of speculation, we know
that man by clearing the land as
well as by actively hunting and
killing it made an end of the great
wild OK of Europe, the aurochs, or
urus, of Caesar, the last of which
was killed near Warsaw in 1927. He
similarly destroyed the bison, first
in Europe and then lin our own
days. in North America. A few
hundred, carefully guarded, are all
that remain in the two continents.
He has very nearly made an end of
the elk in Europe and will soon do
so completely in America. The
wolf and the beaver were DESTROYED
in these British islands about 400
years ago. They are rapidly disap-
pearing from France and will soon
be exterminated in Scandinavia and
Russia and in Canada.
"At a remote prehistoric period
the bear was exterminated by man
in Britain and the lion driven from
the whole of Europe, except Mace
dOnia, where it still hourished in
the days of the ancient Greeks. 1t
was common in Asia Minor a few
centuries ago. The giraffe and the
elephant have departed from South
Africa before the encroachments of
civilized man. The day is not dis
tant when they will cease to exist in
the wild state in any part of Africa.
And with them are vanishing many
splendid antelope.
"Even our nearest and dearest
relatives in the animal world, the
gorilla, the chimpanzee and the
ourang, are doomed. Now that man
has learned to defy malaria and
other fevers, the tropical forest will
be occupied by the greedy civilized
horde of humanity, and there will
be no room for the most interest
ing and wonderful of all animals,
the man-like apes, unless (as we
may hope in their case, at any rate)
such living monuments of human
history are made sacred and treated
with greater care than are our an
cient monuments in stone" Chi
