SPORT OF SOUTH AMERICA
Water carnlvaIs Made Occasion of En-
joyment Among Ali Classes
Of People.

In certain countries or South Amer
lea, notablyAPeru, there are held from
time to time curious water carnivals,
when water is showered from house
tops and other elevated spots with
strange abandon. All classes Of peo-
pie indulge in the festivities. Just
what is the origin Of these carniva1s is
not known, but it is supposed that
they represent general revolt against
the parsimony of nature in withhold.
ing water for so long period of the
year. i-- ----
During the progress Of such car
nival in Callao no one in the street is
safe against showers from roofs, bal
comics and doorways. In Lima, cross
ing the Cathedral plaza, the unwary
pedestrian is given good shower. By
late in the afternoon the water frolic
has assumed such proportions that
even those in carriages are doused.
The streets, from sidewalk to side
walk, are completely drenched. While
hundreds of men, women and children
are showered during the course Of the
day, none shows resentment, but all
accept the dousing in true holiday
spirit.
In addition to the crude weapons of
this water warfare-dippers, pals and
pitchers-there are the more refined
implements known as chisguetes.
These are toys whereby jets of water
can be thrown directly into the face
of a passerby. Those armed with these
weapons are at liberty to open their
batteries upon any one at hand. Often
the stream thus projected will be col
ored with a harmless pigment, with
the purpose of imparting to the duck
less ones face a carnival hue.

NEVER TAKE ANOTHER MATE
Characteristic of the Ostrich That 10
Not Observed In Other Animal
or Bird Life.

There is only one inconsolable wild
over and that is the ostrich" said a
Zoo" keeper. "The ostrich, If his
mate dies, never remarries.
':He is also the most faithful Of hus-
bands, sequence not always newt
able. Kings and such mate only once
as rule, but they are apt to firt
clandestinely good deal. None of
that, however, for the ostrich. He
scorns such doings as beneath him.
"He waits on his wife like a che.
Waller. He digs the nest for her. OF
the 40 days setting he does the hard
est share, covering the eggs from sun
set till late the next morning.
Sometimes, naturally, domestic
complications occur, and the ostrich
kicks. He kicks, in fact, his wife to
death.
But what consolation 1t must be
to her, as she passes away, to think
that he will remain true and constant
to her memory, and never, never seek
another mate. New York Sun.

Japanese Mirrors.

1t is only during a comparatively
short time that the japanese have
known glass as occidentals know it.
When the first railroads were built pas
sengers in the coaches often put their
heads through the glass, supposfng the

and the railroad company at length
pasted pictures on the glass to-ca!l at

The richer people have one mirror, in

PEST OF THE WEST INDIES
Planters Wage War Against Species
of Grabs That Are Destructive
to the Vegetation.

A curiously destructive pest of
Grand Cayman island of the British
West Indies is found in certain species
of crabs. They not only partake raven
ously of everything edible, but their
burrows do great damage, and they
fill these burrows with every kind of
stolen small articles. A bulletin of
Kew Gardens notes that such utterly
useless objects as knives and pocket
compasses are hidden away.
Eggs from under setting hen are
devoured, if not the hen herself, and
so many leaves Of Seeding cocoanut
trees are eaten that 6 to 10 per cent
of the plants may require replacing in
newly cleared ground from which the
crabs have been thoroughly thinned
out. Patches of thin soil in the bush
become covered with vegetation after
the complete driving away of the
crabs. They shut themselves an
derground in the early part of the
year to change their shells, and for
their barricades of sticks and rubbish
they nip off or root up saplings three
quarters of an inch in diameter. An
other reprehensible characteristic,
less harmful to the planter. is can
nibalism. ST. -

at the top began to witller and

seemed as if the whole stick must

and the cattle lay in its shade in
the hot noontide.
Even when my grandfather
was an old. old man, and had
grown-up sons and daughters,
and many grandchildren, he
loved to sit on the bench by the
shop and listen to the voice of
the wind among the leaves of
the great trees; and then, if we
asked him, he would tell uS again
of the tinker who planted it, and
of the music that came from the
stick out of which it grew.

THE TIMERS WILLOW.

I'LL IiNnLN > WILLUW.
One day, when my GrandfatE
Clifford was about seven year
old, he looked across the road t,
his fathers blacksmith shop
and seeing some one sitting Oh
bench by the door, went over t,
learn who it was.
He found little old man, will
thick, bushy eyebrows and brigh
blue eyes. His clothes were mad
all of feather, which crcaked ant
ratified when he moved. By hi
side was a partly open pack, il
which grandfather could Sc,
curious tools and sheets of SHIN
tin. By that he knew that thu
man was the travelling tinker
who came once or twice a veal
to mend leaky pans and pals
and of whom he had heard hi:
mother speak.
The old man was eating his
luncheon-a slice or two of bread
bit OF cold meat, and a colo
potato; and because it seemed sc
poor luncheon, grandfather
went back in the house and
brought two big apples from the
cellar. The old man thanked
him and ate the apples. Their
he got up, brushed the bread
crumbs from his leather breeches
and taking a little tin dippel
from his pack, went down to the
brook for a drink of water. Wher
lie had had his fill, he came back
to the bench and sat down.
Now, my boy" he said, I'VE

the brook. There ought to be
one, for shade"
Make a tree!" cried grand.
father. How can we make a
tree?' l thought only God made
trees"
True" said old man. Only
God makes trees, but sometimes
we can help Him."
With that, he took from the
bench at his side a stick that he
had cut somewhere by the road,
and had been using for a cane.
1t was slender and straight, and
grandfather noticed that the
bark was smooth and of a beau
tifuI light green.
"Of this" said the old man,
I'VE will make a tree in which
the birds of the air shall build
their nests, and under which the
beasts of the field shall fine
shelter, and rest in the heat OF
the day. But first there shall
be music, to please the spirits OF
the springtin1e. Take this stick
down to the brook, and wet it al
over
So my grand father took the
stick ana did as the old man told
him. When he came back to The
bench, the tinker had a larg,
