They Havs No Instinctivs Impulse to Enter the Water. It has turned out, under the search ing experimentation of recent years, that much that we havo supposed to be instinct In animals is not Instinct nt nil. For exnmple, the young duck proves to have no instinctive impulse to enter tho water, does not recognize the clement by sight and Is, in short. In precisely tho same situation as n chick until, by happy chance, it gets Its legs wet. Wet legs, however, and tho lift of tho water on tho body nt once start up tho swimming reaction, and awny sails the duckling, as chick ens and children do not. The chick, on Its part, has a definite Instinct to peck nt any small object that catches Its eye. That tnke9 care of Its feeding. Hut the chick has no corresponding, instinct to drink nud would die of thirst before It would recognize water by sight alone. Drink ing it has to learn for itself by peck ing at dewdrops or spots of light on the surface of the water or particles at the bottom of Its cup. Even the hen, contrary to general belief, proves to havo no instinctive fear of the wa ter for her offspring. A ben that has raised a few broods of ducks and seen them tnke to the water becomes lilghlj distressed when a subsequent hatch of chickens do not swim. In fact. hen-' have been reported under these clr cumstnnccs to' lend their chicks to the waterside and push them in. Mc Clure's Magazine. NESTS IN GULF WEED. Breeding Place of the Flying Fish In the Sargasso Sea. In the middle of the north Atlantic there is an area of comparatively still water almost equal to continental Europe in extent und more or less covered with Uoutlng seaweed. It wut known as tho Mar do Surguco to Co lumbus and the early navigators nud Is the Sargasso sea of modern geog raphcrs. Tho floating seaweed was formerly supposed to have grown near the Ba hama and Florida shores and to have drifted to its picseut position, it Is now, however, known to grow und propagate Itself where It Is found. In it are found globular masses of weed containing fish eggs and known us fish nests. Investigations show that the lioating weed of the Sargasso sea is the chosen breeding place of species of (lying fish. The eggs found In the nests were at tributed to certain species of ilsh found resting on them, but careful examina tion of the eggs shows that they really belong, to flying fish. Apparently, however, the flying fish do not make the nests themselves. Each end of tho egg of these fish is? furnished with bunches of very long filamentary tendrils, and by menns of these the finely divided branches of tho Sargassum weed have been caught together in globular nasses. The eggs may be said to have made their own nest London Field. Bismarck and 3. Bismarck had an intense aversion to 13, but a veneration for the. num ber 3. His reasons for his pre dilection were that he served three masters; ho was responsible for and fought in three great wars; he signed three treaties of peace; he arranged the meeting of three emperors; ho es tablished tho triple alliance; in the Fran.co-Prusslau war three horses were killed under him; he had three names (Bl3inarck. Schoenhausen and Lauen burgi; he acquired three titles (count, prince, duke); tho ancient nrms of Ills famtly are a leaf of clover and three oak leaves! Ills family motto, "In trlnltato robur" ('Strength in trin ity"), was surely In itself sufficient to give a leaning In this particular direc tion. So closely were his feelings as sociated with tho triple number tljat the caricaturists represented him with three hairs on his head. Ho had three' children. - t No 0d Maids. "We'd havo no old maids If wo took a lesson from tho ancient BabylonlanB," a spinster said. "In Babylon unmar ried women were graded by tho state according to their looks. For ajbeauti ful young wlfo tho state demanded a large number of gold pieces,1 a less desirable wife cost a smaller number of gold pieces, and this money was all paid out again as rewards to those who married elderly, unattractive girls. Thus It cost a fortune to marry beau ty, but if you married ugliness a for tune came to you; henco all was hap piness In Babylon, and old maids were unknown." ? v Bollngbroke'S Retort. J ft When Bollngbroke, who was at Alx' Ia-Chapelle during the treaty of peace at that place, at which time his at tainder was not removed, was asked by an Impertinent Frenchman wbe(her he came thero in any public character, his lordship answered: "Not at all. I came like u French minister, with no character at all." V The Audience. The Actor (a terrible borei-AwfuIly bad arrangements at Jnyvllle, Played "Ilamlet" there last week.

The greatest of all Scottish annlver-, sarles is that of Bannockburn, fought in the yeai 1314. Apart from its bear ing on the Independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep tional interest from tho military point of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. "Proud Edward's" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while thaUof the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear, and these Bruce threw into "schll troms." or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from tho Flem ings, who had employed It with suc cess nt Courtrny to resist tho charge of the English cavalry. Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed Infantry drawn up in "schlltrom." or hedgehog, forma tion, nnd these two battles revolution ized the tactics of the continent and of our own islaud. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn, tho English applied tho tactics of the Scots with brilliant success nt Crccy and still more nt Aglncourt. As It was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it was they again who nt Balaklava were the first to discard it with their "thin red line," and now. owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it Is discarded altogether. London Chron icle. MOHAMMEDANS OF INDIA. i Superstition Seems to Govern Most of Their Actions. Mohammedans of India nro very superstitious. No Mohammedan will take a bath on Sunday or Tuesday. But If ouo bathes on Wednesday all misfortunes and misery that aro in store for him till the next Wednesday will be averted. As a rulcv all Moham medans bathe on Fridays before going to perform the Jumma prayers. For donning new clothes Saturday. Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one dons a new dress or puts on n now cloth or allows his tailor to cut a piece of cloth on these dnys. he will live a miserable life till that dress dr cloth gets torn or Is thrown away. If a shirt Is torn nnd if the wearer wants to stildi It. It must bo taken off, for If it Is stitched 'while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham medan will never allow a barber to come near him on Tuesdays, for Tues days and Saturdays nnd Sundays are bad days for shaving. If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday, but never on Tuesday, as his star Is supposed to fall in blood if he does so. If one receives money or some valuable thing, It Is taken with the right band, for If It Is taken with the left the person re ceiving It Is said to forgot all about It very soon or to mislay It. A de vout Mohammedan will not start on a journey on Wednesduay. for It Is be lieved be will never return home safe ly If he does so. And It Is said that even a snake never ventures out of its hole on this day. A Snake Story. The family were at dinner when there came a tap at a door seldom opened. Wlunlug no attention, it was repeated and again a third time, though more softly, and then the door was swung back and, behold, there was u snake, knocking at the portals of hospitality! Down upon its head, In conformity with the decreo of tradi tion nnd with Ezra's understanding of scriptural direction, crunched n Brit ish boot. It was a mother snake, who, having bravely overcome her fear of man, was seeking sustenance, not for herself perhaps, though she was starv ing, but more likely for tho llttlo ones that were found in tho grass by tho brook. Thus for once, at any rate, did the craftiness of the devil succumb to the instinct of motherhood. Georgo B. M. Harvey In North American Re view. The "Macaroni." The "macaroni" were exquisites or fops who In England and Franco led the fashions from 1780 to 1785 and wcro distinguished by an Immense knot of artificial hair worn on tho top of their heads. A small cocked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and .small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed tho costume of these fash ionable gentlemen, who Invariably car ried a long walking tstlek with tassels 'attached and frequently a bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged a minc ing and affected gait and manner. Thero was during tho war for Inde pendence a body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy uni forms were called "macaroni." 8he Had Lcrrned.
