About the middle Of the last century
the Lord Rosebery of that time was I'm
Paris. and In paying a call one day he
was received so rudely by the butler
that he complained to his friend OF the
servants conduct. But the butler had
been a noncommissioned officer In the
French army, and as such he chal-
lenged Lord Rosebery to duel. The
earl accepted, and two shots were ex-
changed without result. But Lord
Rosebery was angered at his own con
descension and afraid his antagonist
might lay aside his military rank and
resume his duties as servant, thus
exposing an earl to the reproach OF
having fought with n butler. So he
settled an annuity OF $3.50 on the man
on condition that he did not return
to domestic service. The condition was
faithfully observed on both sides.

Notea About Birds.

A peculiar characteristic about birds
is that the young Of those that build
nests In trees are blind when hatched,
are naked, unable to walk and are fed
by the parent bird. Among the wad-
ing birds the young can walk. swim
and pick up food Immediately upon
leaving the egg. With birds, as with
higher animals, the females seem to
fancy bright colors and music; hence
Mother Nature usually ornaments the
head, neck and tails OF the males that
they may find mates more readily. The
male birds usually excel In music also.
