Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

session, she fights for it by clicking
her bill so fiercely that the rightful
owners depart.
There will be from four to seven
white eggs in the leaf-lined nest, and
later downy coated babies will be de-
manding food. They are wide-awake
infants, and Snappish, too. Though
they will accept all you bring them,
they never show any affection for you.
With devoted parents to feed them
day and night, and protect them
from fright as well as foes, owls are
in no hurry to make their own living.
However, the parents do not let their
offspring remain dependents too long,
and when the children have been
given lessons in cruising low over a
hapless insect or baby mouse, they
are given to understand they must
hunt or starve.
The only speech the marsh owl
possesses is squeak much like that of
mouse The fight is silent, the
wing beat steady. The hunter takes
his prey to a perch to eat, possibly to
whack it on the head first, if it hap
pens to be large, lively fellow.
As the eyes of owls are fixed i'm
movably in the head and both di-
rectad forward, the owl, in order to
see. must twist his head to get a view
of his surroundings. Were you ever
told that owls twisted their heads
off? Watch an owl turn his head
and when it has gone as far as ad-
visable, it is snapped round in the
other direction. So fast is this done.
you may be fooled into thinking YOU
will see fatality if you stick around,
but close observation will set you
right.
Use your water colors on this IL
lustration, so you can identify your
owl at once. The face disk is almost
white, with tiny black freckles, eve
patches black, and eyes a lovely yel-
low, coat a dusky brown, feathers
edged with yellow, underparts whitish,
breast with broad streakS of brown.
The tail is barred with bands of buff.
Bill and claws are dusky black,
feather legglnS are buffy.

For all its puffed and ruff1ed ap-

very early time. The name was also
spelled GervaSius and we find a record
of one Richard Gervasius living in
Normandy as early as 11S0. Another
record mentions Jean Gervais, who
lived in France in l400.
This Is a well-knoWn name in Cam
ada and the United States, some of
the variants being Jervis, Gervis,
Gervais and Jervais. Those early
representatives Of the name in North
America were of French extraction,
but came directly from Great Britain,
where members Of the family had
settled.
Nathaniel Jarvis was born in Wales,
came over in command Of a ship
which had operated between England
and the Isle of Jamaica. He lived
in Boston, where he became a mer-
chant and an influential citizen. He
was afterward joined by two of his
brothers from England. one of whom
remained in Massachusetts,, but the
other established his home in Con-

With $500 temples in the city, the
visitors are able to go where they
can honor the Hindu gods. They
flock to the temples and they also
bathe in the Ganges River-which
runs past Benares. 1t is their belief
that waters of the river will wash
away their sins.
When many persons crowd together
in water they are likely to exchange
germs. Bathing in the Ganges has
been blamed for the spread of cholera
in India.
The capital of India is Delhi, and
among the other large cities are CAL

to 100000 persons live in Calcutta,
the largest city in India.
Nine -tenths of the people Of India
dwell on farms, or in villages. 1t is
a country of farms and farmers.
There are vast rice fields, and rice
is of great importance as a food.
Millet and wheat are other great food

The people of India number about
three times as many as those In the

country less than two-thirds as large
as the United States.

If you would get up with the lark
you must go to bed without one,
Many a mans excessive cheek is
due to the toothache.
If love would only remain blind
after marriage-but what's the use?
From a theatrical point of view a
divorce without publicity is worse
than marriage.
A hypocrite is a man who acts diff
ferently when he knows some one is
watching him.
Any young man knows that 1t is
more satisfactory to get a smile from
girl than it is to get the laugh.
A man seldom speaks lightly If he
stops to weigh his words.
It's a good thing to avoid people
who consider you good thing.
One way to get rid of unpleasant
people is to begin giving them advice.
In a case of emergency it is some
times advisable to reward the man
who helped you to emerge.
Men sometimes become wiser as
they grow older, but they seldom be-
come less foolish
Most family skeletons refuse to stay
in the closet.
Be sure that you have an aim in
life before pulling the trigger.
Wise men may fool others, but the
fool fools only himself.
A man who is satisfied with his Job
never reaches the top of the ladder.
Some men waste lot of valuable
time explaining their actions.
A large portion of our standing
army does a stunt on the street cars
and busses during the rush hours.
When 1t comes to a quick parting
the fool and his money are a close
second to woman and her secret.

anything worth having Is seldom

A Lesson in Life.

A Lesson IN Life.
THIS is one of the lessons that
life teaches us. Johnny Chuck
learned it the day he took
Il Peter Rabbits dare and
climbed high up in a certain
tree. He climbed so high for one not
much accustomed to climbing that
even his cousin, Happy Jack the Gray
Squirrel, advised him not to climb
higher. This was enough to make
Johnny do that very thing. 1t made
him obstinate You know how that is.
Let some one tell you that you don't
dare to do a thing, or that you are
crazy to try to do it, and that is the
very thing you make up your mind
to do.
So Johnny Chuck first took Peters
dare and then refused to heed Happy
Jacks warning. He left the trunk and
crawled out and up along big
branch until he was so high above the
ground that Peter Rabbit would have
refused to believe that it was Johnny
Chuck up there had he not seen him
climb there. He was higher than he
himself would have dreamed he could
climb. He felt very proud of himself.
1t was wonderful to be so high. He
hadn't supposed that any one could
see so far and see SO much.
"It isn't for nothing t,.at I belong
to the Squirrel family" thought he.
IT wish Polly Chuck could see me
now. I wonder if she is awake yet.
Happy Jack said I couldn't climb out
here, but here I am. He is jealous.
That is what he is jealous. He doeSn' t
like to think that I can climb. He
used to make fun of me because he
thought I couldn't climb. but now
he won't do that any more I guess.
I'm glad Peter Rabbit saw me do it.
Now everybody will know it. My, it is
long way to the ground. ! don't like
looking down. 1t gives me a funny
feeling"
What are you holding on so tightly
for?" demanded a scornful voice just
above him. He looked up to see Happy
Jack sitting up on limb, not holding
on with his hands at all.
you're not a real climber. you
know, even if you managed to get up
there" continued Happy Jack. "A
real climber wouldn't be clinging to
that branch the way you are. Let's
see you Jump across to that next
branch"
Il don't want to go on the other
branch" retorted Johnny Chuck.
you don't dare to jump across!'
jeered Happy Jack.
This hurt because, of course, il was
true. Johnny pretended not to hear it.
He began to think of getting back to
the ground. It was fine to have
climbed so high, but after all, he
didn't feel at home here. His home
was on the ground. He looked down
Then he began to wonder how ne was
to get back there. And right then he
learned much of hfe's lessons, that
having begun to climb, it sometimes Is
easier to keep on climbing than to try
to return safely to the starting point.
And another lesson he learned-that
it is better to look up than down.
He began to back down, an inch OF

The skins of the natives Of India
are of brownish color. The shades
run from deep, dark brown to light

from the same stock as those of

crossed the mountains to invade
India, and conquered those who were
living there. The invaders made
their homes in the country they had

How 1t Started

In a Trice.

WE ARE all familiar with this brisk
w phrase, which means quickly, or
in an instant 1t is the latter defini-
ton which supplies the key to the in
teresting history of this expression.
Trice is of Spanish origin. We have
it from the Spanish iris which is sup
posed to be the imitation of the sound
made when glass breaks, which, as
everybody knows. happens in flash.
The word iris. in Spanish, there
fore, came to mean instant, the Span
ish phrase zen un iris" being prac-
tically identical with our own English

the same sense.

independent, too, for he left family
traditions behind him and established
new ones utterly contrary to those of

Instead of living in hollow trees, he
sought the prairies, meadows, marshes
and even open fields. He flies so
close to the ground, when chasing his
dinner. that he has often been mis-
taken for a partridge. He is a day
