Two slx-plumed birds Of paradise
so rare that living specimens have
never before been seen in England
arrived recently at the London zoo
from New Guinea. They carry on
their heads the six long, racket-tipped
spines which have earned for the spe-
cies Its popular name. On the breast
is a metallic hued shield irldescent
with green, bronze and blue. Save
for a silver cushion on the forehead
they are velvety black, making the
turquoise blue iris Of the eye very
conspicuous. If they act in similar
fashion to closely allied species, the
birds will throw out their body
plumes like skirt, expand the breast
shield, erect their head-plumes fan
wise, and strut about erratically.

Mystery of Sleep

Science has evolved drugs that will
put one to sleep, but just what it is
that brings natural sleep is as great a
mystery today as It was to the cave
man who curled up on his rock mat
tress, with his flowing beard spread
over him for quilt.
1t is a commentary on human ma
ture that we are more particular
about our food than we are about reg.
ular hours of sleep, yet it is a fact,
definitely established, that it is pos
sible to live much longer without food
than without the benign embrace of
Morpheus.

Whitman's "BalIyhoo"

Walt Whitman, writes Harvey
O'Higgins in Harper's Magazine, at
the time his first book of poems ap-
peared, ballyhooed himself, anony-
mously, in the American Phrenolog-
ical Journal as the "haughtiest of
writer's that has ever yet written and
printed a book" And in the United
States and Democratic Review, for the
same month of September, 1855, he
hailed himself anonymously, as lone
of the roughs, large, proud, affection
ate, his costume manly and free, his
face sunburnt and bearded, his pos
lures strong and erect"

Spoiled" Child Handicapped

Many parents feel that the first few
years of child's life are an unim.
portant twilight before the real dawn
of personality and utterly ignore the
Importance of those early years for
development, observes Clara Bassett
in Hygeia Magazine.
Careful study Of the spoiled child
problem shows that such children do
not outgrow their early habits, as
parents often think they will Many
Of them go through life with these
attitudes and then develop mental
and nervous breakdOwns when they
find they are not equipped to meet
bravely the vicissitudes and respon-
slbilities of adult existence.

Pigs as Currency

A traveller who has returned to Eng

some amusing stories of things that 60

says, are not only eaten on a largo
scale, but they are the standard cur

tain ceremonies at which it is very
important to have pigs, and they are
frequently borrowed. The men who
lend pigs are like money lenders, de-
handing interest on their loan, and
when the pig is paid back it must be

have grown to during the time it was

Price. of Wheat and Flour

1t takes five bushels of wheat to
make one barrel of flour. A barrel
Of -four makes 800 Ioaves of bread.
For every change in price of flour, of
81 per barrel, the bakers cost is af-
fected to the extent of one-third Of
one cent for each one-pound loaf. In
short, wheat would have to either ad-
vance or fall GO cents per bushel, be-
