Winqs and Wishbonss.

Scientists call the "wishbone' the
furcula. and It Is the union Of what
are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt OF the strokes Of the
wing that turn the creature In Its
flight.
Few OF us appreciate the strength
Of the stroke Of the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break a
mans leg by a blow Of Its wing, and
In like manner the wing beatings Of
the larger birds are dangerous II they
strike the human head or face. II,
therefore. a large bird Is In the habit
Of making sudden turns to right or left
in its flight It must be fitted with a
"wishbone" capable Of withstanding
the great strain Of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on the other.
For this reason We find In the eagle
and birds of It's class that turn quickly
furcula that Is perfect Roman
arch. widely at variance with the Goth
ic arch, which Is the shape Of the
"wishbone" Of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula Is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points Of weak
ness that make our sport Of breaking
the "wishbone" possible.

In "Blackfeet Tales Of Glacier Ma
tional Park" J. W. Schultz says that
a visitor ut his camp told this story
about the simple but absurd way In
which names are often selected:
A government employer was at Gun
sight pass. one Of the mast weirdly
beautiful places In this whole coun-
try, putting up tablet on which were
painted arrows that pointed to the DIFF
ferent mountains, the name of each
peak alongside Its particular arrow.
A tourist standing near and watch
ing the work suddenly exclaimed:
"Why, over there is peak which
seems to have no name. Can you not
name 1t after meT
Certainly | can" the employee an
swered. He painted another arrow
and inscribed beside 1t, "Lehnert
peak"
"And over there is fine waterfall"
the tourist said. "Will you please

Some self-concelted philosopher has

No taxes are required to be collect

No appointment since Louis d. Brandeis

Army officers were openly jubilant over
the appointment, since Hay and the army

heads over the questions of the size, forma-

Although Hays militia champoning
brought him much criticism, he was most
bitterly denounced by his political opponents

which he admitted created n position for
