"A Mans Idea Of Womanly -yom-

by one OF Keokuk's new citizens, Jens
Hauland, of the water power offices,
next Sunday afternoon at the Young
Woman's Christian Association.
Mr.. Hauland Is late of BROOKLYN

bers of the Norwegian Methodist
church OF that city until coming here
short time ago.
The speaker is a Norwegian by
birth and can't speak the English
language with any apparent degree of
ease, but luckily he has that manner
that holds the attention of his audi.
tors and is full of the fire and b~im-
stone" talk which invariably takes
with all listeners.
1t is proposed to make next Sun
days meeting the largest of the year
and the auditorium will doubtless be
filed with all women of the city who
will wish to hear the speaker, and
gain an idea of what mans view of
womanly woman really is.

Trick Sparrows of Hongkong and One
Of Their Feats.
The famous Chinese conjuring birds
arc Java sparrows. At street corners
in Hongkong sedate old Chinese may
be seen putting the birds through their
tricks for the benefit Of strangers.
Each birdcage has a sliding door,
and just outside this is pack of little
cardcases, each containing a picture
and small pot holding half a dozen
grains Of rice.
When the stranger, pursuant to the
suggestion Of the owner, hands over
the necessary coin this is placed with
the pack Of cards at the cage door.
Then the owner will undo the fasten-
ing of the door. The bird, eying the
coin, then the cards, then the coin
again, as If he thought his perform
ance too cheaply valued, descends
from his perch, opens the door with
his beak, hops outside, draws card
from the pack and passes it to his
master. He receives in reward one
grain Of rice.
The man takes the little picture
from the case received from the bird
and hands it to the stranger to inspect.
He then returns it to the case, accom-
panied by the tiniest fiat slip Of bam-
boo. and shuffles the case up with the
rest Of the pack. The bird descends
and selects case, and the stranger
opens 1t, to find the identical one con-
tanning the bamboo.
How can this be accounted for? The
only possible way of explaining is
that the bamboo slip is slightly scent
ed.-Exchange.

FREAKS OF NATURE.
Two Queer Rock Formations on ths
lsland of St Aalana

Two Queer Rock Formations on che
Island Of st. Helena.
There are at least two queer freaks
Of nature on the island of st. Helena
or, rather, four, for one Of them is a
group Of three figures - known the
world over as the Devils Nose" and
Lot and His Daughters" Any one
Who is able to study the island as it is
and not run wild over the Napoleonic
legends which have clustered about
that 'seabound rock'' since the days
when the Little Corporal" was housed
there in his living grave will find much
that will repay for investigation, time
Ind study.
The .queerest Of the natural forma-
tons are the oddities above alluded to.
The first of these initiative forms is a
rocky promontory which has been
known by names which signify Old
Nick's nasal projection since May %,
1902, when Juan Castella and his men
sighted the island just in time to see
the devil disappear beneath the waves
In the best harbor, leaving his nose az
reminder of what might happen
should the venturesome Spaniard seek
to take possession of his Satanic mai.
esty's favorite haunts.
"Lot and His Daughters" are three
conical rocks which can only be con.
jured into representing man and two
women by strong play Of the imag.
ination. According to the views OF
some writer's they are weather worn
statues of colossal size, probably the
work of some aborigines Of the island
Their gigantic size, however, would
seem to preclude this idea. When OF
by whom they were dubbed "Lot and
His Daughters no authority has ven
tured to say.
