BIRD KNOWN IN EVERY STATE
Might Well Be Adopted as Amer
ica's National Bird.

The alert and industrious flicker Is
suggested by Frank NJ Chapman, writ
ing in "Our Winter Birds" as the ma
tiOnal bird, because it is a native Of
every state in the Union. He says 1t
is also adaptive and intelligent, peace
full though brave, useful and beauti-
full, but he cannot sing. The bird
makes up for his failure to contribute
vocal solos by drumming exhibitions
that any trick snare drummer would
envy. When the bird gets on a tin roof
or gutter, and is feeling facetious, its
work with its beak is marvellous.
ut wins it's way peaceably if it can,
but if it is aroused it fights for all
it is worth" Mr.. Chapman writes. 1T
Is beautiful bird. known by many 9TH
er names, such as crescent bird, be-
cause OF the black crescent on its
breast; golden-winged woodpecker, be-
cause of the yellow revealed in it's
wings when it flies; the cotton ruThp
because of the white on it's back, and
the yarrup and yellowhammer. Its
home is anywhere between Central
America and Canada and in character,
habits and appearance 1t is clearly a
credit to the country"

PRECURSOR OF THE PIANO
uarpsichord, in Arrangement of Key
hoard and Strings, Resembled the
instrument In Use Today,

The harpsichord was a stringed mu-
steal instrument in use In the 18th,
nth and 18th centuries, which in its
form and in the arrangement of the
keyboard and strings resembled a pi-
ann. bVt In which the tone was pro-
dnced ~ the plucking or Swapping of
the strings by leather or quill points,
which were set In jacks connected by
levers with the keys. In form it usu-
ally resembled modern grand piano
forte though both square and upright
varieties were also made. The length
Of the keyboard was four to six and
a half octaves. The number of sep
arste strings to key varied from
one to four, sometimes including one
tuned an octave above the others; the
latter variety was called a double
harpsichord. The tone was weak and
tinkling, and graduation of force was
impossible. Two keyboards were
sometimes combined. one for soft
effects; the other for loud. Numerous
devices, usually connected with the
lacks were introduced at different
times to secure variety in force, and
especially in quality. These mechan-
isms, which often aimed to simulate
the tone qualities of various orches-
trail Instruments. were usually con-
trolled by stopknobs near the key
board. The harpsichord. though es-
gentially different from the piahoforte,
was it's immediate predecessor. Be
fore 1900 it was regularly used in all
dramatic music, especially in accom-
parying recitatives and in orchestral
music. The conductor usually direct
ed from his seat at a harpsichord
placed amid the other instruments.

Geography Sixty Years Old.

The rapid development of geography
as a college study, since its first ap-
pearance in university curriculum,
about half century ago, is discussed
by Prof. R. Fl. Whitbeck of the Uni
Versity of Wisconsin, in recent ar
tlcle on Geography in American and
European Universities" published in
the Journal of Geography. He points
out the following interesting facts:
In 1850 Harvard and Princeton
were the only american universities
oHerlng courses in geography.
Cornell and University of Wiscon-
SIN introduced the subject in 1868,
and Yale followed in 1872. In 1900
only u American universities taught
'he subject, but by 1910 thirty-one
universities were offering a variety
Of 142 courses.
With 704 students enrolled In geog-
iaphy' the University of Wisconsin
led all others In 1910. With 1859 en-
rolled in 1917, it led all others except
lle University of Pennsylvania. 1t
now offers seven courses In physical
ana economic geography, uatology
Suu other phases of the sui Ject.

No Idle Chatter.

When young girl / was timid and
shy, and having attention directed TO
me always caused me much embar-
rassment. One evening I was invited
TO a rather formal dinner party. All
the girls present were considerably
older than /. so I said nothing until
about the middle of the meal, although
the others were chatting In a desul-
tory manner.
Suddenly a young woman sitting at
my right turned to me with the ques-
ton: Don't you ever say anything"
1t seemed to me that the attention
of every one at the table was focused
on me, and blushing furiously, STAN
mered: "0h, yes, sometimes, when
there's something interesting to talk
about" A stony silence greeted my
remark.-Chicago Tribune.

WORK OF MONKS IN EXILE
Congregation of Armenian Christians
Has Diffused knowledge of coun-
trys Language and Literature.

The Mechitarist monks are small
congregation of Armenian Christians
who we're exiled from their native land
at the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
tury The church in Armenia had long
been divided into bitterly hostile camps
over the question Of the nature of
Christ, and when the Mechitarists en-
tered into communion with the Church
of Rome in 1712 the Armenian patri-
arch succeeded in driving them from
the country. They took up their resi-
dence in the Morea, but they had again
TO flee before the advance of the con-
quering Turk, and in 1715 they estab-
lished themselves in Venice, on the
Island of San Lazzaro. Here they set
up printing press and gathered to-
gether a large and valuable library of
oriental works. Their name is de-
rived from Mechtar da Petro, who
founded religious society at Constan-
tinople about the Z2ar 100, and who
aimed at uplifting the intellectual and
Spiritual conditions of his countrymen,
and at diffusing a knowledge of the
old Armenian language and literature.
The colony of exiles during their so
1ourn in Venice has printed most of
the classic writings in Armenian lit
erature and translated the works Of
EuSebius, Philo and other writer's.
