Teal Duck SlUiftest
of All FLYING Things

An old controversy hangs around the
subject of the fastest bird. The prize
used to belong, at least in the opinion
Of sportsmen, to that little and most
typical duck, the teal. So far as l
have been able to eOllate the evidence
and compare 1t with personal expert
ence, the very fastest birds belong to
the classes which come between the
gulls and ducks.
The peregrine falcons and some OF
the swifts compete for the head OF
the list; and It Is worth notice that
the swifts, which people In general
class with the swallow tribe, thanks
to several real and obvious likenesseS.
are put by the classifiers as cousins
Of the hawks. However this may be.
It remains that the ducks attain daz-
King speed and can defy the winds
better than any bird that flies, though
their momentum exaggerates their DIFF
nculty in changing direction.
But so much depends on the engine
that when 1t is in the least out of gear,
when 1t Is not tuned up, as happens
at the early moult, they cannot fly at
an; they become into the state OF
their primeval ancestOr.-Sir w. Beach
Thomas in the Atlantic Monthly.

Abyssinians Hold Name
of Saint George Holy

st. George seems to be the patron
saint of the Abyssinians. for In their
country there are number OF
churches named for that parsonage.
One Of them is carved out Of solid
rock and is a wonderful piece OF work,
having the appearance of hewn stone.
There are beautiful arches and win
dows and some exquisite carving In
stone. The structure is built in the
shape of st. Georges cross and the
stone roof has similar cross carved
upon 1t.
The building Is very pretentious and
of a size designed to hold and accom-
mOdate several hundred persons. 1t
has a sacred pool on the premises
which is said to have been filed with
water from the River Jordan years ago
and which has never evapOrated. The
story Is one which is generally &C
cepted by the natives, but incidentally
a casual observer will see that the
surrounding area is drained into this
pool and that Is probably what keeps
the level constant--Chicago Journal.

Evolution of Trousers

The Haberdasher says: Trousers
are comparatively young things nav
ing come in about the same time the
last century did. George III was the
last English monarch who wore knee
breeches as a regular thing. Inc
change from breeches TO trousers was
not a studied one, however, for there
was a period Of transition. During
that time men took TO tights ana

Ii any member tells stories in the
