ranged an ideal program of entertain
ment, so that the evening might be
one of pleasure. A contest at fishing
for fortunes provided much fun, and
a May flower contest was another di.

high school pennant was given as the
souvenir OF the evening.
A refreshing fruit punch was served
from an attractively decorated table

Rooster Has Musical Ear.

Vernon Green of West Rush, N. Y,
whose poultry yard adjoins n church,
has a rooster which has heard the dox-
ology sung at the church SO much that
he has learned 1t, and now chants the
doxology as often as he opens his
mouth to crow. So we learn from a
press dispatch from Rochester. This
is q remarkable occurrence for though
certain tunes which follow notation
not far removed from the spontaneous
utterance of a rooster have often been
detected in their crow, the solemn de-
scending strain of the doxology tune
Is quite the unlikeliest tune in the
whole tune book for rooster to at
tempt. Hundreds Of roosters have
chanted the opening strain of Yankee
Doodle" and other popular airs, but
never before, the No2ad will warrant,
the doxology. Mr.. Vernon Green has

markable gination.-Boston Tran

saIshava an Ancient CITY.

Baleklava, in the Crimea, the scene
Of the charge Of the Light Brigade, has
in recent years been discovered to be
the site of an ancient Greek city. Be
sides the ruins of temples and Of
homes there have been found many
things that would indicate that the
city was abandoned hurriedly. Money
was left scattered on floors, and bits
of bread and other food were found in
disordered array. Near a stone canal
was found an ancient hens nest,
wherein were six eggs which probably
dated back TO a period before the birth
Of Christ. Three had been broken by
falling earth. and two smashed 10
atoms, but one was quite whole, with
dried-up yolk inside it.
