GO SOUTH TO SEEK FOOD
Hunger, Not Cold, Forces Birds to Mi qrate From Northern Climates
 to the Warmer.

If birds could store food for the win ter few would need to migrate. It is hunger and not cold or darkness which drives them in multitudes every au- tumn to more temperate climes. Ger tain privileged species can find food for themselves and their young even in midwinter in northern climates and so far from fiOcking into the South when autumn calls. they choose the coldest months of the year for their breeding season. Young crOsSbills are fed on the seeds of pine cones wrenched out by the old birds twisted peaks; and since ripe pine cones are plentiful in winter, crOssbills begin to nest in England-in in December and Jan nary.
 Many birds, however to find their daily food must make a tremendous journey into the opposite temperate zone. The American golden plOver' travels about 16,OOO miles each year from it's breeding grounds on the arc tie coast of Canada to the plains of Argentina and back. Swallows in Eng land and Scotland have been marked at the nest and identified In British South Africa a few months later. Such seem small; and they have been per formed for countless generations of bird life. since the passing of the last glacial agp.-ChriStian Science MOni- for

 Not only the person having some knowledge of botany enjoys this rap i'd change of surroundings, but a sim liar pleasure is in store for the geol. ogist, who sometimes finds that a mountain is. like a prepared section of part of the earth's crust; for the entOmolOgist, who discovers differ ent insects at the top from those that inhabit the lower slopes; for the orni- thologist, who finds that birds have preferences as to elevation, and in fact for all students of nature.-New York Herald

SERVED HOT DISH.
Kafir Host Possessed Peculiar
 Sense of Humor.
Traveller Had -tO Admit That tn Ne Way Could thS Dinner Do Called
 a SuccOOS,

High on the hillside we could see more than one Kaf1r village, hanging suspended, as it were, almost in mid air, but, since the inhabitants had a notOrlously bad reputation, we hesi- tated to ask them the way. Not with out some miSgiVings, we climbed the steep ascent until we gained small village of some 20 houses. Shah Bag, who acted throughout as our inter- preter, asked to see the headman, and that parsonage at once showed him. self. He was inOrdinately vain, pomp- Ous and stupid, and every statement we made he flatly contradicted. When he heard to what family belonged, however, he abandoned his offensive tone and addressed me cOurteously as an equal, Tkbal Ali Shah writes in Asia Magazine. He allotted a good enough house to us. mentioning with rather unpleasant laugh that recent tribal squabbles had provided a little more house room in the village than usual. He informed us, indeed, that several of his young inen were out on fOray across the bills.
 Astan, the headman, grew more con- descending, and, feeling that we must return his hospitality, we invited him to dinner. He refused the invitation rather haughtily, however, and issued one, which sounded very like a com mand, that we should dine with him. Resolved to comply with his wishes, nNAnnoH0d fn hfc h very cordially received, He cleared our way to the table by kicking aside the numerous dogs that lay on the floor of the anterOOm and uShered us into an inner chamber furnished with two large, rough bedsteads, on which he requested us to seat ourselves. As tan and his wife immediately set the meal on the table. When I refused the wine he prOffered, he seemed some what offended and made a rather naughty remark about the temperance prOclivities of MuSsuImans But I re- stored him to high good humOr by praising the rice and milk. which Ka- frs consider 8 great luxury, and he piled more and more of 1t on my plat

Then, not to he Outdone in the niceties of the table, he smOthered the contents of my dish with chilli, and when I sneezed and c0ughed, laughed consumedly, telling me that spicy food put courage into a man. I kept my temper with diff ficulty, but, knowing full we'll how rash it would be to quarrel with him, took no notice Of his doubtful pleasan- tries and Gulped down the burning mess as best I might. From neither the social nor the culinary point Of view was that dinner a success.

JAP GIRLS EAGER TO LEARN
Devote Little Time to the Pleasures So Dear to Hearts of Their
 American Sisters.

Never a dance do the Japanese girls shimmy at. Never a class do they ''cut'' to get hot fudge. "Dates" are as scarce with them as galoshes on summer day.
 All of which was deduced-frOm 8 talk with Miss Elizabeth Illsley, Evanston. Ill.,. recently head of the music department at Kobe college, Japan.
 Japanese girls are much better stu dents than American girls" Miss Ills ley said No discipline is needed: they are so eager to learn. They don't have much fun, though, except among themselves"
 Unless a girl is converted to Chris tianty, she said, a college education does not interfere with her marriage, because it Is already arranged by her parents.
 Japanese girls are quiet. Most of them have an earnest ambition to come to the United States and study. They don't want to stay, only to learn what they can and return to help their own women"
 Although Miss Illsley would not say that Japanese women are gOssips, she admitted that they serve tea from morning until night to any callers that drop in. And what is tea without EOS sip?--AIilwaukee Journal.

A great auction was re- gently held in New York which includ- ed the household furniture and art ob- jects from some of the oldest homes in Great Britain A brawny young man of Canada dressed in rough tweeds was present at this sale and when an English refectOry table was offered for sale he put in the first bid. Other bidders appeared, but they did not have chance. The Canadian got 1t for five hundred dollars.
 He approached the table and said {: 'I am the youngest son of the family selling this table. l sat at it many times as youth and it is going back to Canada with me."-Wall Street Journal.
