ANIMAL EVOLUTION.

Changes In the Partridges of the Ca
nary Islands.
A remarkable example of the effects
of environment and changed condi-
tons of life upon the forms of ami
mails is furnished by species of par
fridge living in the Canary islands.
Over 400 years ago the Spaniards in
troduced the red legged partridge from
Europe into these islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but, as
recent examination proves, it has un-
dergone notifications clearly brought
about by the conditions under which
it lives
Its back has turned from russell
color to gray This looks like pro-
tective coloration, since the bird passes
its life among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that of its
ancestors and of its European rela-
tives, and its legs also have increased
in length and grown stouter
These changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit it to the life that
it is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountain sides Of
the, islands, where a more rigorous
physical development is required than
was needed in its former home. -Har-

Chances IN Word Meaninos.

Many common words have once had
a meaning very different from the
one we now give them. silly once

poet writes. Fond meant foolish.
A fond father was a foolish father.
Milton writes.

The Three Pias.

There were three pigs in a poke.
The overcrowding was scandalous.
Each accounted for the evil in diff
ferent manner
The first pig said. THE overcrowding
is terrible; it is because we are in a
poke
The second pig said, This over
crowding is disastrous; it is because
we are pigs
The third pig spoke as follows: 1.-THE
overcrowding is undoubtedly appalling,
but you are both mistakennNs to the
conditions that have caused it, 1t is
not due to our being in poke; neither
is it due to our being pigs. The evil
is the direct and inevitable outcome of
certain spasmodic variations in the
law of economic utility"
The other two pigs were much i'm
pressed and without more ado elected
the third pig leader among them.
Still the overcrowding remained as
bad as ever.-Life.

CURIOUS ESKIMO LIVING.
The Pallet Rooms In Homes Entirely
Devoid of Furniture.


Devoid of Furniture.
Furniture is quite unknown in a
common Eskimo home,'' writes the
wife of the Danish governor of Green
land, Anna Bistrup, in an article on
'.Eskimo Women In Greeland" in the
Century.
''The houses of the Eskimos are all
built of stone and turf. with the win
dows opening toward the sun, the one
entrance always being on the side that
is least exposed to the wind. Along
the back wal runs platform, a pallet
of boards. raised eighteen inches above
the floor 1t is from six to eight feet
deep, and through its whole length it
is divided into rooms or spaces Of
eight or ten feet Each room is sepa-
rated from the neighboring room by a
partition of board or skin. An open
passage runs the whole length Of the
house along the pallet rooms and
serves for the traffic of all the inmates,
but each pallet room claims for its
own the bit of passageway adjoining.
'sEach pallet room is occupied by one
family, and there they stay night and
day. The best pallet room is the In
nermost and is always occupied by the
owner of the house or the oldest IL the
house has more than, one owner"

puelinq.

It is generally agreed that dueling
took its rise from the judicial combats
of the Celtic nations. The first formal
duel in England was that between Will
liam Count of Eu and Godfrey Bay
nard about the year 1896. Dueling
was at it's height in France about
1900. though it was pretty popular as
late as 1923, in which year Francis
/. sent a challenge to Charles v. In
England dueling was checked in the
army in 1892 and gradually disappear
ed from civil life with the coming of a
more enlightened public opinion. Duel
ing was never as popular in this coun-
try as it was in Europe. but never
theless many famous duels have been
fought here. The code may be said
to have received its death sentence
when Burr killed Hamilton. The de-
cline after that was steady until it
practically died out.-New York Amer

Barnaby Rich in his preface to "a

Of idle matter that is every day hatch

ANIMALS IN A FRENZY.
There's Danger Afoot When Captive
Wild Beasts $50 Bad"

Wild Beasts $50 Bad"
What those who have charge of wild
animals in captivity. and especially
trainers, dread most among the large
beasts is that inexplicable change Of
temperament on the part of the ami
NAL known in the parlance of the me-
/. nagerie as going bad
Lions are likely to go bad about the
tenth year of life; tigers. two or three
years earlier. The male tiger is the
dread Of the profession when he
reaches this condition. because he is
more likely to go into frenzy without
warning, and once gone bad nothing
will satisfy him but murder.
He will leap for any man within
reach, and when once his teeth are on
the bone nothing but fire will make
him relinquish it, and not always that.
This going bad" may come in the
nature of 4 sudden attack or it may
develop slowly and be counteracted IL
taken in time. An old trainer can
usually detect the symptoms of this
curious ailment. 1t seems to be in
the nature Of disease, and other ami
mails recognize it and shun the affect
ed one.
When its progress is apparent the
danger is not great. All that is re-
quired then is a level head and the
wisdom to refrain from further inter-
ference with the animal
Sometimes this bad temper win last
but short time. and again it will be-
come the permanent condition Of the
animal. In that case he is sent to the
lonely cage to spend the rest of his
life in comparative obscurity. dis
turbed merely by the passing crowd
and his daily meals--Pearson's Week

AIN INSPIRING TRIBUTE.
u MAIDS Remarkable Scene In the
House Of Representatives.

u MAIDS Remarkable Scene In the
House of Representatives.
a touching scene occurred in the
house of Representatives number of
years ago when an aged member from
New Jersey arose and for the first
time addressed the speaker. ALI eyes
were turned in his direction ais he
stood calmly awaiting recognition. He
was tall, spare and erect. His vener-
able appearance and kindly expression,
coupled with most courteous manners,
at once commanded attention.
As Tin husky tones he again said
"Mr. Speaker there came from the
farthest end Of the great, hall in a
whisper, but distinctly heard by all,
the words. Sweet Alice. Ben Boil"
A moment later and from the floor
and gallery many voices blended in
the familiar refrain. Don't you re-
member sweet Alice. Ben Bolt?"
The ovation which Immediately fol-
lowed was such as is rarely witnessed
in the great hall. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
Of the new member warmly grasped
by the chosen representatives Of all
parties and sections. 1t was an inspir-
ing tribute, one worthily bestowed.
The member was Thomas Dunn Eng
lish. author of the little poem, sung in
palace and cottage, which found its
way into all languages and touched all
hearts. Adlai E. Stevenson in Some

TRAPPING EAGLES.
The Chinese Get Them With Raited
Net and Decoy Bird.

The Chinese Get Them With Raifsd
Net and Decoy Bird.
Every year, according to an old Gus
1m, in the second quarter of the Sep
ssnbeF or October moon. the inhabit-
ej'lts Of the Chinese province Of Shan
tung go to Mongolia to hunt the eagles
which abound in that region. The
huntsmen march in troops along the
roads, carrying on their shoulders long
poles from which are suspended their
baggage and provisions and on which
Are perched tame eagles to be used as
decoys.
The hunters make use Of a large net,
spread open on the ground and baited
with small dried fishes, in the midst
Of which is placed tame eagle. The
decoy naturally begins to devour the
bait and thus invites its wild cousins
to follow its example. When the birds
have alighted and are feeding the
hunter, from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant, quickly
closes the net by means of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The
feathers are used in the manufacture
Of fans and are sold at high price
even in China. There are three sorts
Kicpei, black with white centers; Che
ma. white spotted with black; Tout
sing, half white and half black. Sew
eral eagles contribute to the making
Of fan, for only small part of the
plumage can be utilized; hence these
fans are very costly.
