ARBOREAL COURTSHIP.
GERMANY'S JAi BATHS.

Antics of the Hooks When the Mat

"It is Always amusing to watch the
ri'-iji.s iu tlu period of their courtship,"
nys an UuslNh writer. "When the
Male bird first begins to seek a mate
the. fact Is so.ui mtde known to the
AMirld iit larye by a curious hoarsening
:' hi; voi.'o. There is no aceounnug for
tables, according to au old proverb,
iind to the female rook there is no iuu
sic equal to the hoarseness that her
lord begins to show about the middle
f January. Then begin the violent
tournaments of which she is a passive
spectator. The two claimants for her
favor often begin pecking at one an
other at the very tops of the trees, and
as in the fury of their onslaught they
lose foothold they drop and drop and
drop till they bump against the ground,
often at the very feet of some human
onlooker who has been watching their
proceedings with interested curiosity.
larwln tells us of similar Incidents in
the life history of deer and cites as
somewhat of an argument against the
doctrine of the survival of the fittest
that while two lordly and robust stag
are lighting for the hind it will often
happen that a timid and feeble third
stag will come In and carry off the
prize.
"Hut no su.-h capriciousness as that
is allowed the female rook. Probably
before the battle begins he who aspires
to be her future lord and master has
selected the home in which they are to
live, and should any other rook at
tempt to share it with her he will fight
him to the tleath. In this case the sur
vival of the fittest is insured.
"When once theyare mated the rooks
peem to stick together and be subject
to little further molestation, though oc
casionally, I think, a gay Lothario will
attempt to make love where he ought
not to. But in that case the whole col
ony of rooks unite against him and

"Air baths" are all the rage in
fashionable Berlin just now. We
all know what necessary factors
light and air are for the mainte
nance of health. The Berlin air
baths have the grent advantage of
being pleasant as well as healthy,
and many of the society ladies of
the German capital have taken them
up. The scenes now reproduced were
photographed at the Berlin insti
tute, which started this open air
idea, and which has already become
famous both in Kurope and Amer
ica, says (ioldtn Benny.
Even the tiniest children are taken
to these "baths," as well a young
girls and more elderly ladies.
The main object, of course, is to
exercise both the muscles and the
lungs at the ' same time, and the
nondescript kind of bathing dress
which is worn allows the ladies a
delightful seme of freedom while
practicing their gymnastic feats cr
playing at gardening in the grounds.
It is scarcely necessary to add that,
the garden is kept as secluded as
possible. Surrounded by high walls,
it is situated in a quiet locality just
outside the city.

WHY INDIANS PAINT.
An
Apache res-end Which Acconntu
for the CiroteMiinc Custom.
Once an oi l Apache Indian, when
asked the question why the people
painted their faces, told this little leg
end: "Long ago, when men were weak and
animals were big and strong, a chief
of the red men who lived in these
mountains went out to get a deer, for
his people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw a
deer and shot at it, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
Wiu-i: Ihe lion felt the sting of the ar
row he jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
"lie was almost exhausted, and when
he felt his strength giving way he fell
to the ground, calling on the big bear,
who, you know, is the grandfather of
men, to save him.
"The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, so he scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man.
"Now, you know that il animal will :
eat of the bear or taste of his blood, j
when the lion approached the man !
l;e smelle 1 of the blood and turned !
away, but as he did s his foot scraped
the face of th" -nan, leaving the marks j
ol ins claws in tne blood smeared
tare.
"When the m. in found that he was
uninjured he was so thankful that he
left the H 1 1 to dry on his face and
mwer washed it at all, but left it until
H peeicd oil.
"Wli'o the e'aws of the lion scraped
it off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the blood
t-tayed on it wis lighter. Now all men
paint their faces that way with blood
and scrape it oft" in streaks when they
hunt or g) to war."
Rice-throwing has become a nuisance

Davidson, of the Iw York,

which is directly under his strntrUMon.
Recently he happened to he in tfcp nr. ion
station when a bride and .rconi were
being pelted. Passengers had to keep off
the station platform till the cample were
within the car, and then, in the hurry to
get aboard, several slipped on the rice.
Mr. Davidson promptly issued an or
der to the station master to call upon
the police to arrest ail persons who com
mitted the nuisance of rice-throwing.
Half an hour later the station master
enforced the order, and caused the ar
rest of a young man, but on th ground
that the order had not become well
known the youth was released. Here

SHE WAS NOT A PURITAN.
Chinese Fish Fnrmlntr.
Those ever-Ingenious people, the Chi
nese, are great at fish farming, and one
of their little dodges for hatching young
fish is most ingenious. Taking a fresh
egg, they suck the contents through a
tiny hole and refill the egg with tiny
eggs of the fish they want to hatch. The
hole is then sealed up and the egg placed
under a sitting hen. In a very few days
the fish ova are so far advanced that one
has only to break the shell into mod
erately warm water and the little fish
ppring to life at once,
FREAKS OF STUDENTS.
Her Expression Warn Severe, but It
Belled Her Thirst.
Iii the seat opposite me in the rail
way coach was a woman who looked
to be forty-five years of age, and as I
glanced at her occasionally and noticed
her evere expression I set her down
for a person with puritanical views on
the subject of Intoxicants and one who
would scorn the slightest favor at the
hands of a traveler. Great was my
surprise, therefore, at the end of a
couple of hours and when we had been
left the only passengers in the coach,
to see her lean forward and hear her
pleasantly ask:
"Young man, might I ask If you have
any peppermint essence in your grip?"
I replied that I was sorry I hadn't,
and she resumed her bolt upright posi
tion, and nothing further was said for
a quarter of an hour; then she kindly
asked:
"Young man, do you carry the means
to make a glass of lemonade when you
travel?"
I didu't. I was sorry for her sake
that I didn't; but, as a matter of fact,
I didn't care for lemonade. She said
it was just as well, and another fifteen
minutes passed. Then she, smiling,
said:
"Y'ouug man, perhaps you carry a
bottle of milk or cold tea?"
"Sorry to say I don't, ma'am."
"Do you mean to say that you do not
curry any kind of a bottle?"
"Well er you know"
"Hay, sir," she continued as she look
ed me straight in the eye, "is it wine
or whisky?"
"W-ine, ma'am, but it's in case I am
attacked with"
"Never mind what it's in case of, but
hand it right over. I've sat here for
three long hours with my throat as dry
as a bone aud you haven't had the
chivalry to ask me to take a nip."
As I sat down beside her and sho
took a nip she said that I might call
her Aunt Bolly and that her severe ex
pression was only the result of sitting
up nights with a sick cow, and during ;
the remainder of my journey she beat
me twelve games of euchre and said
she'd be glad to adopt me if she hadn't
three sons all oluer than I was. Chi

If Columbus had not dreamed of con

if Cyrus W. Field had not dreamed of
a cubic for communicating across the
ocean; if Professor Alexander G. Bell
Lad not dreamed of the possibilities of
talking across continents by the tele
phone; if Ellas Howe had not dreamed
that there was an easier way for wom

had not dreamed that the Clermont

world doubted and ridiculed him; if all
the people who have given the world a
lift by emancipating It from drudgery
through their dreaming ami discovery
of a thousand ameliorating appliances
and inventions, civilization would be In
its Infancy today.
Oh, bow much we owe to the dream
its! But all these ieople made their
dreams practical. They reduced them
to realities before they were of anj
use. Go on dreaming, go on building

To Restore the Sphinx.
A project Is on foot in Alexandria for
restoring the Sphinx, near the Great
Pyramid of Ghizeh, to its original con
dition. Thick layers of soil completely
cover the head of the monument, while
the lower parts are greatly obscured by
accumulations of sand. It is proposed to
clear all these accumulationsaway and to
rlean the head completely. When the
work has been completed the Sphinx will
once more appear. If not in its first
freshness, at least in the grandeur of its
original proiortions.
