Birds Cannot Understand Glass.

1t has been frequently noticed that
no wild bird can understand the prop.
critics of glass, and great numbers,
ranging in size from a pheasant to 8
titmouse, are killed by flying against
the windows of country houses.
If a room possesses a large mirror
rejecting the view seen through an
open window birds are particularly liza
BILE to be deceived, and especially il
frightened into thinking that they can
fly through 1t.
Sparrow hawks will sometimes
chase their intended victims into
strange places. Some years age
a member Of this species pursued a
small bird through the open window
of a railway carriage in motion. In
its blind determination to secure the
painting fugitive it entangled its claws
in the meshes of the hat rack and was
ANONYMOUSLY slain by an astonished
passenger with an umbrella.

LATEST OF ALL THE BIRDS
Feathered "Weary Willie" Sleeps All
Day and Absolutely Refuses to
Go After Food.

Latest Of birds is the frogmouth.
He sleeps all day, and instead Of flying
about in search Of food he sits still on
a limb and literally waits for the in
sects to come and feed him. He's
such a sound sleeper that you can
knock him off his perch with a club
and he'll not wake up. He inhabits
the islands of the Indian ocean and
Australia.
He's about the size of the whippoor-
will and gets his name from his wide
mouth, which also serves as his insect
trap. Too lazy to fly for his food, like
other birds, he crawls along the limb
Of a tree, opening his wide mouth and
swapping it shut, catching what flies
and gnats come within his range.
At night he's found perched with
his mate on the roofs of houses, on
fences or stumps. Only after the sun
goes down does he show any inclina-
ton to move about. All day he sits,
feet glued to the limb of a gum tree,
Indifferent to rain, tropical Jul or the
call of the woods.
One species Of frogmouth has tufts
of hair rising from the top Of his head
like ears.

SUPREME AT CHESS BOARD
Paul Charles Morphy, American, Was
One of the Greatest Players the
World Has Ever Known.

Paul Charles Morphy, the famous
American chess player, is classed as
perhaps the most remarkable chess
player of modern tines He was
born in New Orleans in 1887, and was
notably p%recocious as a child; he
showed his ~precocity particularly in
games of chess, and before he was thir-
teen had defeated many well-known
amateurs. For several years he stud
led law at the College of South Caro-
lima, and played chess only occasion
ally. But in 1857, at the first Ameri-
can Chess congress, held in New York,
he easily defeated the best players
that could be brought against him.
In 1858 Morphy went to England,
and there defeated Loewenthal, Boden,
and Bird, and performed the most
astonishing feats in simultaneous
games without the board. When he
was in Paris, the same year, he won
FIVE out of eight games with Harr-
WITT, and gave many exhibitions Of
blindfold playing. 1t was these last
that were responsible for the early
breakdown Of his health. After his
return to the United States, in 1859,
he defeated the visiting German ex-
pert. Andersen, in seven out Of eleven
Games. He was admitted to the bar, and
began to practice law in New Orleans.
But the strain of his blindfold con-
tests had been too great for his mind,
and he was forced first to give up
chess altogether, and then to abandon
all mental occupation. He lived In
retirement until his death, in 1884.
His activity thus covered a compare
lively shori space Of time. Morphy's
skill is described as inexplicable. He
never was a close student Of chess.
He played his games easily and quick
ly, with no preparation and little hest
tation. Yet his combinations were
remarkable for flnesse, depth, ele-
gance, and soundness." He also pos-
sessed a phenomenal memory.

WHY CHILDREN HATE MUSIC
Too Often They Are Taught With 1t
tie Regard to Capacity of Their
Understanding.

Why do children hate music? asked
an English contemporary some time
ago, and then proceeded to answer Its
own propounded question by saying,
according to the Musical Leader, that:
1.-THE truth is that children are too
often the helpless victims of incompe-
tent or i~ll-trained teachers, whose
chief idea seems to be to stuff their
luckless pupils with such knowledge
as they themselves possess. forgetting
that the child Is, In this respect, but
q baby, who needs foods specially
adapted to it's digestive powers. Con-
seuuently indigestion follows and the
efdld's musical health suffers.
1--WE believe that nearly all children
enjoy music. 1t is natural to them to
love singing, and it is through sing
ing that their musical sense should
be developed"
But not through such singing as we
noted some three of four years ago In
some of the public schools. AS the
English writer says:
"If children hate music 1t 1s be-
cause they are so often taught un-
psychologically and with so little re-
gard to the intellect"
These same children from the public
schools who were singing driVeling
pifie parrot wise are the young peo-
pie of today who should be attending
our great concerts given by the or
chestras and choral societies, and yet
how man. can be seen at classical
concerts and fine recitals? Here Is
a question for the head Of the public
school music system. TITS about time
music for children got out Of a rut.

PRETTY GIRLS AND OTHERS
After All, the One Who Is mice" fe
Apt to Be the Most Popular
With Everybody.

We all know the old joke of the
pretty girl who is presented as saying
to the homely girl, Its too bad not to
be good-looking, isn't it," and the
homely girls response: ayes, because
one has to be nice, and that's hard;
did you every try it?"
OF course we enjoy the reply, espe-
cially as we know how much greater
the impression that is made by being
nice, the Milwaukee Journal observes.
The pretty girl who doesn't think this
necessary is away behind the homely
girl who has really learned to be what
we describe so satisfactorily and in
definitely by the word mice"
But do we ever think of this as one
of the definite accomplishments Of life
that can be acquired, not so easily per-
haps as @ knowledge of algebra or his
tory, but just as surely? Every day
we meet someone, often several per-
sons, whose lives exemplify the beauty
of being nice. Very soon we learn
to know them and we r ready almost
without thinking to go a little out Of
the way to SEQ that we do meet them.
They are not all homely girls; some
Of them 7 pretty, and many Of them
aren't girls at all. Most of them al
ways seem to be mice" by nature.
But anyone with an atom of justice in
his reasoning knows that at some time
and probably often, there has come
to these persons who make life bright
;er the question, Does it pay?" Maybe
they never really proved that it did
That doesn't matter so much, for
they have kept on with the CHEEKY
look, the pleasant greeting, the friend
illness and graciousness that are the
worlds greatest Joy bringers. And
that is enough to make them far better
remembered and far more beloved
than if they had been named the reign
ing beauties Of their day.

BIG ADVANCE MADE
 BY COTTON VALUES
Lowered Freight Rates Are Re sulting in Increased Demand for Spots and Broadening EX- port Movement.

Cotton values advanced something like $1.50 a bale yesterday as a re- suit of short covering induced by the stronger spot situation and fear that war with Mexico would result from the events of the past AS hours. On the way up the market encountered stop-loss orders, which helped the up- ward swing along The return of al- most perfect weather conditions to the belt was entirely ignored by the trade, as was also a moderately bear ish estimate on acreage by the New York Journal of Commerce. High records, established some weeks ago, were surpassed throughout the list, and though prices reacted a few points from the best, closing tone vas called steady, net 2s@32 points up.
 Best prices were established fol- lowing the report that a resolution for immediate intervention by the United States in Mexico had been in troduced in Congress, and that strong financial interests in New York mad .espoused the bull side of cotton. Other interests outside the regular trade, including investment buyers from the west, are said to be enter ing the market on the bull side. The broadening out of the trade will have a neutr&lizing effect on the weakened technical position talked of a few days ago, as a result of recent market operations.
 Lowered freight rates for ocean carriage. resulting in a better demand for actual cotton in the belt, is prov ing of more strength to the contract market than had at first been gener- ally expected. Exports are running well ahead of last year and steady de- mand for the actual cotton is result ing in sale of goodiy proportions.
 Spot values yesterday were advanc- ed in most southern centers, and good demand resulted in sales of good vol ume. New York also contributed to the days total with further liberal sales. In the local market quotations were advanced 12@13 points to 13.12c for middling on sales of $50 bales.
