Birds Island RefuQe,

On the west coast of Newfoundland
stands an island. with perpendicular
rocky sides. rising nearly 400 feet out
Of the sea. 1t is about three acres in
area at the top. 1t seems to have been
cleft from the mainland and is safely
beyond reach of duck shot. Late in
April the gulllemots gather in the sea
around this island IN hundreds Of
thousands; and some fine morning,
when the snow has disappeared from
the top, they rise in compact body
flying fully thousand feet in the air,
then lowering and circling for half an
hour around and around the top of the
island, darkening the ground with the
shadow of their wings, then settling
on the top and turning the white, lime
stained surface shining black. Once
settled they will not leave the island
IN a body till the last of June, unless
a snowstorm comes. Then they take
to the sea again until the snow has
melted from their nesting place.

Pupil Used His Head.

The sergeant instructor was suspl-

manded.
The pupil replied that he supposed
the only thing required was the an
swer. and he had furnished it, and so
saved paper.
Eyes, but where did you get the
answer from-who told you?" he was
asked by the puzzled instructor. II

"Oh, that's simply swank!" retorted
his master. But in course Of time he
found that his "pupil' did know some
thing of the matter in hand-and pro-
noted him. You shall read out the
sum to the rest" he said.-London

AS TO ORIGIN OF WOMAN
After the Biblical Story, Belief Held
by Persians Is Easily the Most
Poetical.

A magazine writer consumes con-
siderable space in trying to prove that
it Is wrong to teach that woman was
made from Adams rib. He says the
proposition is ridiculous, and while 1t
may have been we'll enough to teach
it in the dim and distant past, we
ought to be ashamed of ourselves for
sticking to the 'superstition."
If our own idea or belief Of the ori-
gin of woman Is a superstition. then
it is quite as good a superstition as
other people have. says the Columbus
Dispatch. For ours is not the only
theory Of the origin of woman. Many
other people have many other theories
or superstitions.
The Australian natives believe that
woman was once a toad-and that
isn't very nice. If it is true, however.
it shows what a wonderful creature
the toad was transformed into and
we can rejoice thereat. Then the
Laplanders believe that woman was
once a rabbit. and since q rabbit is
more likable than a toad. we prefer
the Lapland superstition to the Aus
tralian.
The Japanese believe that woman
grew upon tree-and that Is getting
| along still better. The feathery bios
| SONS Of the trees. with their color
and their perfume, seem more nearly
approaching the realm Of womanhood
than do rabbits or toads.
But If ever we are compelled to give
up our idea that woman was made
from the rib of man, we are going to
accept the Persian theory. That is
by all odds the prettiest one, and the
one we could more easily believe than
any other. The Persians assert thai
woman fell from heaven.

MORE THAN GREAT PAINTER
Gustavs Dore is Declared to Have
Been an Accomplished Player
on the Violin.

Gustave Dore (the painter) was said
to be famous on the violin, and his
claims to consideration were far from
inconsiderable. He had acquired val
liable instrument, on which he used to
play Berlioz's concertos with a really
extraordinary facility and spirit. These
superficial works were enough for his
musical powers. The surprising thing
about his execution was that he never
worked at 1t. If he could not get a
thing at once, he gave it up for good
and all.
We lived in the same quarter and
visited each other frequently. As we
almost never were Of the same opinion
about anything, We had interminable
arguments, entirely free from rancor,
which we thoroughly enjoyed. I have
seen him painting away on thirty can
vases at the same time in his immense
studio. Three seriously studied pic
lures would have been worth more.

boy was melancholy and sensitive. He

And Love,

Like a great poet, Nature produces
the greatest results with the simplest
means. These are simply sun.
flowers, water and love. Of course,
If the spectator be without the last,
the whole will present but a pitiful
appearance; and, in that case, the sun
is merely so many miles in diameter,
the trees are good for fuel, the flowers
are classified by stamens, and the
water is simply wet.-Heine.
