Birds and Animals Pretend
Violence in Play, but They
Stop Short in Exercising 1t.

Small birds chase each other about
In play, but perhaps the conduct of
the crane and the trumpeter is the
most extraordinary. The latter stands
on one leg, hops about in the most &C.
centric manner and throws SOmer-
saults. Some call it ''the mad bird,''
on account of its singularitieS. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese, dive
after each other and clear the surface
of the water with outStretched neck
and Tapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around.
Deer often engage in a trial of
strength by twisting their horns to-
gether and pushing for the mastery.
All animals pretending violence in
their play stop short of exercising it !;
the dog takes the greatest precaution
not to injure by his bite, and the
Orangutang, in wrestling with his
keeper, pretends to throw him, and
makes feints of biting him. Some ami
mails carry out in their play q SEM
blance of catching their prey; young
cats, for instance, leap after every
small and moving object, even 20
leaves strewn by the autumn wind.
They crouch and steal forward, ready
for the spring; with the body culver
ing and tail vibrating with emotion.
they bound on the moving leaf and
again spring forward to another.

Contest Between Vessels Carrying Tea
From China to England One OF
the Best on Record.

The China clipper races, contested
by vessels carrying tea to England.
covered the longest course Of any
race In history. One Of the most fa-
nous was that of 1866. 1t was ar
ranged that nine of these ships should
sail from Foochow with the new sea-
sons teas as nearly as possible on the
same day. but only five finished load
ing In time.
The Fiery Cross was the first to
start, being towed out to sea early on
May %. The Ariel followed next
morning at 10 80. the Serica and the
Tapping sailing 20 minutes later. while
the Taitsing did not put to sea until
midnight on the 31st. They were. OF
course, all chosen ships with repu-
tation for speed.
The Fiery Cross was the first to
round the Cape of Good Hope, &c days
out. with the Ariel on her heels. while
the Tapping. Serica and Taitsing
were respectively one, four and eight
days behind. The Ariel led from the
Azores to the entrance to the English
channel. where the Serica and Tae-
ping pulled up ahead of the others,
and there followed a ding-dong race,
up the channel, with a fire spread Of
canvas and strong soItherly wind.
The Ariel and the Tapping were
the leaders. first one and then the
other drawing ahead. the others sweep
ing along not far behind. 1t was a
worthy finish for such crack ships.
The Tapping arrived in the London
docks at 9:45 p. m. on September @.
the Ariel In East India docks at 10:15
p. M, and the Serica in the West In
dia docks at IL 80 p. m.

Loss in Weight May Mean
Loss in Ones Efficiency

There is no doubt that certain
amount of reduction In weight can be
endured by the vigorous for a consid-
cradle time, but not without serious
loss in efficiency, if long continued,
writes Thomas B. Osborne, in At
lantic. In every community there are
many men below normal weight, and
these are always looked upon with
suspicion by insurance companies and
enlistment officers, even though no
pathological cause can be found for
their underweight

Robert Louis Stevenson'S
Advice to Class of Girls

Robert Louis Stevenson was once
called upon to address a Sunday
school class of young girls. He told
them the parable of the talents, and
then went on to say that there were
three talents every one possessed and
ought TO make US of. Tongues that
they must use TO cheer and make
happy all around them; faces that
they must keep bright as new shil-
lings, so that they might shine like
lamps in their homes; and hands that
must be kept employed in useful work
cheerfully DONE" Very good advice in

Desserts.

Ices, sherbets and ice creams are all
easily digested and most wholesome
for all members of the family When
nuts and fruits are used in creams they
should be put through the meat chop
per. The flavor is better and the cream
smoother.
Leftovers of cake, creams, jelly and
fresh as well as preserved fruits may
be used for desserts. Stale sponge
cake with a bit of fruit juice, a spoon
full of nuts and whipped cream, makes
a most palatable and satisfying dessert.

Timely Thoughts.

The reason some men get

Luck and perseverance often

REPORTS OF ENEMY
ACTIVITY NOT TRUE
Attorney General Says Few
Fires Have Been Set.

Washington, April l5-Reports from
enemy activities in the United States
are grossly exaggerated. says Attorney
General Gregory In latter to Repre-
sentative Currie Of Michigan, made
public tonight by Mr.. Gregory.
He emphasized the difficulties under
which the department IL Iaboring, in
Guiding the lack Of necessary laws un-
der which to punish offenders.
Speaking of the exaggeration which
leads to misunderstanding OF the situa-
ton, he said:
The talk Of damage done by enemy
aliens In causing incendiary fires is an
illustration.
The report recently made by the
National Board Of Fire Underwriters
shows in substance that during the
past year not one fire has been clearly
proven to be the work Of alien ene-
mics. and at a recent conference in
the treasury department of all of the
men in all departments charged with
protection of plants and supplies it was
stated without dissent that no instance
was known of fire caused within the
past year by alien enemies.

country has never been so thoroughly
policed in its history by the federal
authorities as it is today
