Modern Takers Lack
Lighfness of Touch

Fine talking is precious art en-
listing several different sort of train

the snaffle," as the English say We
lack the lightness Of touch that goes
to make up successful conversation.
How we do detest the parlor mono
lOgist who takes the floor and talks
we know nothing and care nothing
about. We hate him because we de-

about something quite different that
other people care nothing about.
And there Is the blighted soul who
persists in telling stories. says writer
in McNaughton's Monthly. True or
otherwise. The true ones are usually
the saddest because they have no
point at all. He is no worse than the
life Of THE party" who asks everybody
questions and never waits for an an
swer. And the bubblesome. laughing,
uneasy soul who wants to know
well. what let's do now?"
The very fact that sober persons
after an ice-water dinner still persist
in listening to speechmaking is a
proof thht we distrust conversation
for anything except preaching or the
transaction of affairs. The newest
inventions Of mechanical pianos. pho
nographs and radios are really our
confession of inability to converse
with any degree Of mutual pleasure.
None of them are so widely used for
seasonable entertainment In them
selves as for tricks to keep the callers
stirred up when they come In for an
evening.

Human Traits in Pigeons

Nlghthawks and whippoorwils work
chiefly at night. when most other birds
are off duty, and at daybreak their
work Is taken up by the swifts and
swallows, says the New York World.
These birds are provided with big
scoopnet mouths, and as they swing
through the air over wide areas OF
country they scoop up almost unbe-
lievable numbers Of insects.
Homing pigeons probably are closer
to the human family than any other
form OF winged life. The birds have
remarkable intelligence.
They mate In pairs. and the female
of each union has exercised her right
of suffrage to the extent chat the male
helps her In Matching out the eggs and
In caring for and feeding the young.
