Wild Parrots Are Fighters.Parrots when in their native wilds

live in flocks and guard themselves bya complete police system which en-ables them to marshal their collectiveforce quickly when any animal or birdattacks one of their number. Theyseem to be disciplined and trained infighting together, and all other birdsand animals are afraid to attack aparrot unless the bird can be caughtalone. Even then a shrill call sum-mons the parrot army to the rescue.It is said that ia the forests all par-rots die of old age and that none isever killed by birds of prey or otherwild animals.

St. Martin and the Dictionary.St. Martin when he divided his cape

with a naked beggar at the gate ofAmiens gave also two words to theEnglish language. The oratory inwhich this torn cape was preserved asa sacred banner acquired the name of“chapelle” (from the French “chape”),the custodian being termed “chaplain,”and thus our English words “chapel”and “chaplain” are derived.—West-minster Gazette.

Another Miss.A young recruit was just commenc-

ing his first course of musketry. Theinstructor, getting very angry withhim, told him exactly what to do, andeach time he missed the target. Atlast the instructor lost his temper andtold him to take a spare .round behindthe butts and shoot himself with it.Presently the instructor was startledby hearing a report from a rifle behindthe butts; without a moment’s hesita-tion he rushed round to see. what hadoccurred, when the recruit looked upfrom examining his rifle and said quitecoolly, “It’s all light; don’t get alarmed;it’s another miss.”—London Telegraph.

Very Much So.“Miss Gwendolyn is a very super-

ficial sort of girl, with her head filledwith fine clothes and making herselfpretty. I don’t suppose she gives amoment to self reflection.”

“Doesn’t she? Just watch her whena mirror is anywhere in sight!”—Bal-timore American.

Rackets.An Italian woman was asked in court

if she had any musical instruments inher home.

“No, signor,” she replied, “nothingbut rackets.”

“What?” queried the lawyer.“Rackets—the things they put in

graphophones.”

The Diplomat.Condescending Chappie—T weally

can’t wemember your name, but I’vean idea I’ve met you here before.Nervous Host—Oh, yes. very likely.It’s my house.—London Sketch.

Self Help.“What is your theory about self

help?”“Why, to help yourself if there is

tnything in sight.”—Exchange.

FOR THE CHILDRENi

Knocking the Head Trick.Do you desire me. ladies, to teach

you my secret for making impromptuverses? It is to rub your foreheadwell, not with the hand as Horace didof old. but by giving your head somegood sound blows against the wall.Then proceed to knock your head threeor four times against a door and putyour hand to your forehead as if todeaden the pain produced by the vio-lence of the blows. But you must dosomething more than merely touch thedoor with your head. At the same mo-ment that you make the movements asif knocking yourself, you ward off theblow by the aid of the left hand heldto tlie door about the spot which youappear to strike, while the closed righthand, concealed from the audience,strikes on the other side of the door.

The correspondence of the move-ments of the head with the noise ofthe blows given by the clinched fistproduces a perfect illusion on theminds of the spectators.

rrolickers of the Sea.The merry dolphins have a peculiar

murmuring cry, and when the sailorshear it they say the dolphins are talk-ing together. Of all the creatures ofthe sea these show the greatest exu-berance of animal mirth. Often theyare seen by ships’ passengers in theMediterranean and tlie northern At-lantic ocean frolicking and leapingfrom the surface of the sea with athousand graceful motions. Now theyleap with curved bodies many feetinto the air. then they drag throughthe waves rapidly, leaving a slender■wake of whitening foam under thewater. The dolphin is not more thansix or eight feet long. The body ta-pers toward the tail, which is shapedlike a crescent. It has a beak aboutsix inches, long and a crescent shapedblowhole, with horns turned backward.It is white on the back, grayish on thesides and white beneath.

About the Moon.The bright side of the moon always

is turned toward the sun whether thesun is visible to us or not. So weshould expect that if the moon is lessthan full a line joining the center of themoon and the center of her illumi-nated edge would always point towardthe sun while the cusps or horns of themoon in her first or last quarter wouldpoint away from the sun. But if wecome to watch the moon we shall findthat the position of the cusps often isdifferent from what we had expected.For instance, the sun may be well be-low the horizon, yet the horns may beturned a little downward and the cen-ter of the bright edge a little upward.

The Bargain Counter.This is a good test of memory as

well as observation. The bargaincounter may be a table in the middleof the room. On the counter place anumber of articles—toys, books, vases,any small objects at hand.

One child is chosen to take charge ofthe shop, and a second one, after care-fully looking over the collection to no-tice and remember every article, leavesthe room. While he is absent a thirdperson selects and hides one of thepieces. When the second child is call-ed in he must try at one guess to saywhich of the articles was sold in hisabsence. If he guesses correctly hemay be the next shopman.

beauty.There is often anger in a laugh.A dress often hides a deceiver.A foolish word is folly.Hope consoles the persecuted.The well fed forget the hungryIdleness is the fool’s desire..
