He Guessed He Knew.

One of the keepers at the birdhouse
in Bronx park has nature story to
tell. There came to the park public
school teacher and class of children.
They stood by the great open-air cage.
One of the birds was a goose.
Now, children" the teacher asked,
what is the male of the goose called?"

Scotch ancestry ventured to answer:

In many of the rural districts of
Russia people when they spill salt not
only toss pinch over the left shoul-

and come out the other side, in order
to avert ill-luck; while in New Eng

northern limits of the city under tho
supervision and oversight Of Alder
man John Hamilton. the success Or
