that height in the case of some of

Mask or Civic.
Mask or civic is familiar during
the season o f east side balls and
dances, but its meaning has long
been a mystery to some. This in­
cident may serve to clear it up. In
an east side hall, where balls are a
nightly occurrence, a young woman
with her “ gentleman friend,” both
in every day street clothes, appear­
ed at the door, and the escort ad­
vanced cautiously to the box office.
“ What is it, mask ?” he inquired.
“ N o.”
“ Civic?”
“ Y es.”
“ Come on in, Madge, it’s civic.” —

A L «g«n d About T «a .
Tea drinkers should remember
the legendary origin of the tea
plant. Daruma, a Buddhist priest,
son of a king, retired to Loyang
in order to pass five years in prayer
and meditation. Like St. Anthony
he was tempted and eventually fell
asleep during his long hours of
meditation. On awakening he cut
off his offending eyelids that his
eyes might never close again and
flung them on the ground, when
they were immediately transformed
into the first tea plant. It was for
this reason believed that tea was a
beverage sent from heaven to repel
slumber and enable good Buddhist
priests to keep their vigils. And
tea will certainly keep you awake.—
London Chronicle.

There are silences of all sorts, as
there is speech of all sorts. There
are silences that set one’s teeth on
edge— it is always a relief to break
them—and there are silences that
are gentler, kinder, sweeter, more
loving, more eloquent than any
words and which it is always a
wrench to interrupt.— Marion Craw­

“ The Little Horse.” It stands in
the Plaza de la Reforma. Visible
from many directions, it serves for
a landmark to visitors unacquaint­
ed with the southwestern part of
the city. It was, according to Perry’s
“ Mexico,” the first important bronze
statue made in America.
Hum­
boldt declared it the second finest
equestrian statue in the world, the
first being, in his opinion, that of
Marcus Aurelius at Rome. It has
ever been unpopular with the Mexi­
cans. It has occupied several sites
in the city, and its several removals
have caused it to be dubbed “ El
Csbilito de Troya” (the Little Tro­
jan Horse).

to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream o f

to largely retard the digestion o f the food made from
them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it

Gluttonous Birds.
Birds in proportion to their
weight probably eat more than any
other living thing.' It is a mystery
to naturalists how the ringdove
flies after its accustomed meal. One
dove was found with 600 peas in its
crop, another in captivity was
known to eat 180 beechnuts at a
time, a n d' a third devoured sixty
¿tcorns. The robin often eats two
m d a half times its weight in twent
ty-fonr hours, while a barnyard hen
with chicks has been observed to
resume eating 475 times in the
course o f a day. The diet o f a cer­
tain species o f hawk comprises about
2,000 mice in the course o f a month,
besides other food. In the mouth
o f a young heron were found three
trout, each weighing three-quarters
of a pound. Another was found
with seven small trout in its mouth,
