BIRD MlGsATloN.

The rate at which some birds can
migrate under favorable conditions
is extraordinary, and as one listens
to their plaintive cries coming from
the darkness overhead it is difficult
to realize that in a few hours these
same birds may be within the arctic
circle and little later may be even
crossing the pole itself. Less
is known Of the actual dates Of the
departure of the migratory birds in
autumn than of those Of their arrival
earlier in the year, and this for OBJ
yious reasons. The way in which our
most charming songsters silently
skulk out of the country in the au-
tumn is very different from that il
which they make their triumphal
entry in the spring when every wood
and copse resounds with their mel
odies.-Windsor Magazine

FoaDNEss IFoa TAE DANCE
German Peasant WIFI Trudge FOR
Miles Mn Hot Weather to Enjoy
the Amusement.

The German peasant loves his
pipe and his beer, and on a Sunday
afternoon his game of Kegel; but
on high days and holidays he likes
10 be dancing. He and she will
trudge for miles to dance at some
distant village inn. You meet them
dressed in their best clothes, walk
ing barefoot and carrying clean boots
and stockings. How they can dance
in tight boots after a long, hot walk
on dusty road you must be a Ger
man peasant yourself to understand.
The dance I remember best took
place in barn belonging to a vii
lage inn in Bavaria. I went with
several English friends to look on
at it, and the men of our party
danced with some Of the village girls.
The room was only lighted by a few
candles and it was so crowded that
while everyone was dancing everyone
was hustled. But we were told that
anyone who chose could "buy the
floor" for a time by giving si5pence
or a shilling to the band. Two OF
thc Enclishmen did this and the
crowd looked on in solemn approval
while they waltzed once or twice
round with the pretty granddaugh-
tiers of our hosts.-From Home
