Of all the foreign birds to be seen in zoological collections it is the penguins that gain the most popularity with the least attempt to do so. says a writer in the London Graphic, who proceeds: They do not affably converse with the public like parrots or make grotesque gramaces like pelicans. Indeed. they studiously ignore the visitors whom they attract by their inimitably quaint caricature of humanity. No birds de- part more in form from the usual bird type. and there is something about them which irresistibly suggests an overfed little boy in an overcoat with the sleeves very much too tight for him as they toddle about with their stifl wings hanging down or solemnly meditate a three inch jump. Practice With Wooden Legs. Cf the five cases in the acid ward that were pronounced cured the same time three remained in hospital more than a week after other two had gone home. “They had to stay." said an inter “to get used to their wooden legs. A Poet Who Dreaded Fire Thomas Gray, author of the “P51egy,” had a weakness in the form of a nerv- ous dread of fire. His chamber at St. Peter‘s college. Cambridge. being on the second floor, he thought it likely that in case of a fire his exit by the stairs might be cut off. He therefore caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms projecting from the outside 6: his win- dow. designing by a rope attached thereto to descend in the event of, a are occurring. This excessive caution led to a practical joke by his fellows. One midnight a party of students thundered at his door with loud cries of “Fire, \fire!" The nervous poet flew to his window and slid down the rope to the ground. where he was hail. ed with shouts of laughter. The win- dow. with its iron apparatus. is 3331‘ shown. it is said. Gray’s delicate n ‘ ture was so shocked by this rough 161: that he changed his lodgings. A Dangerous Wound. Senator Robert L. (“Fiddling Bob”) Taylor told about a man in the back- woods of Tennessee who applied for a pension for a gunshot wound An examining surgeon of the medical board stripped and examined him. ejaculating finally: “Old man. we can- not find a single blemish on your hide. Where were you shot during the war?" The old man said. “Well. gentlemen. I was shot in the'substi- tute."â€"Leslie’s Weekiy. It was not long after Black made his demonstration that Montgolfier sent a silken balloon up into the heav- ens and watched it careening through Space. and the following year, 1783. the Montgolfiers-Joseph and Stephen -â€"made a successful ascent in a bal- loon. The same year Charles ascend. ed in a hydrogenballoon to the height of 9.770 feet. Ballooning was a suc- cess. and in an amazingly short time it became p0pular in all landsâ€"New York American. . Tennyson’s Carelessness. Tennyson. like Thackeray. seems to have been careless about his manu- scripts. Some weeks after leaving his lodgings in Mornington place. Hamp- stead. he wrote to Coventry Patmore from the Isle of Wight telling him that he could not find a “book of elegiesâ€" a long. butcher ledger-like book." and that he had some obscure remembrance of lending it to Patmore. “If so.” he concluded. “all is well; if not. Will you go to my old chambers and ‘nstitute a vigorous inquiry?” Patmore. not hav- ing the book. went to Mornington Place. but was assured by the landlady that no such article had been left there. He insisted. however, on going to his friend's old rooms. “up two pair of stairs." to search. and there in a small cupboard where Tennyson had kept bread and tea and butter he found the lost “book of elegieé”â€"the manuscript of “In Memoriam.”â€"London Spectator.

In the design and equipment of Un- cle Sam’s newer battleships no feature is more noticeable than the facilities afl'orded for observation by the officers and men stationed on ,the bridgeâ€"01y serrations of -the beacons and other aids to navigation; but more especially observations of the movements of a supposed enemy. On the bridge and on the “fire control" tower overhead are to be found artificial aids for the “eyes of the battleship,” ranging all the way from old fashioned glasses to the powerful telescopes and kindred annihilators of distance that are too large to be supported at arm's length and manipulated after the fashion of the spyglasses of the ancient mariner. -â€"Detroit Free Press.

Carnarvon castle is the most splem did specimen of medieval military architecture surviving in Britain, not excepting Alnwic-k. Art and beauty were combined with strength by De Elfreton, the architect. who had been commanded to construct a palace within an impregnable fortress. Whether the menu little passage cham- ber in the Eagle tower was .the birth- place ot the infant prince Whom Ed4 ward I. made the medium of such a grim practical joke upon the Welsh seems doubtful. but the main story may still be true. Every famous sol- dier who helped to make history in this corner of Britain has played some part within or ‘without the 'wnlls of Carnarvon castle. it has been, starv- ed into surrender. but never captured by fOI‘t'C of arms and can therefore ‘clnim to lw» «'<_)::~‘i-fit-}l‘ed :1 “virgin for- not authentic deer:tiptions or them ' the operators. Thus Fabticius of A :17 pedenis (153'- 1619). the eminent pro- fessor at Padna and preceptor of the immortal Harvey, describes what he considered an improved and easy op- eration in the following terms: "If it be a movable tumor 1 cut it away with a tedhot knife that seats as it cuts, but if it be adhered to the chest 1 cut with- out bleeding or pain with a wooden or horn knife soaked in aqua fortis, with which. having cut the skin, I dig out the rest wit h my fingers.” When the surgeons of Edinburgh were incor- poratedit was require as a prereq- uisite that they should be able to read and write. “to know the anatomie. na~ ture and complexion of everie mem- ber of humanis body and likeways to know all vaynes of the same. that he may make fiewborhemie in due time.” Buying a Dog. 1 Buying a dog is not so easy as it} looks- there is so much "faking." A ' good Irish terrier. for instance, should have a stifi'. wirv coat. a pronounced ‘ red c.olor a long.n narrow head, small1 eyes and ears which . ang down.

A. bulldog should f have a shovel shared mouth. with the ' under jaw protruding upward. and :1 j wide chest. The“, are one or two things to look out for in buying a dog. Some dealeis try to palm 011’ an old dog as :1 young one by scraping his\1 yellow teeth. whi: 11 show signs of age, . and painting his gray muzzle.
