RIDING THE BUZZARD. Tre Ricebird Uses His Bulky Enemy as an Aeroplane. People generally associate size and bowever, this is far from being the case, especially In the bird kingdom. Among the rice flats of the Carolinas there abound at some seasons of the year tiny ricebirds, birds so small that it takes two dozen for a good meal, though bones and all are eaten. The great buzzard is found circling over the flats at all seasons. He dreads the time for the ricebird to come, for he is then nearly pestered to death. It is n common sight to see one of these little birds fly up to a buzzard and, after dodging this way and that round the awkward bulk, finally alight well forward between the buzzards wings on the back. Here the tiny passenger grabs u few feathers in his beak and holds on for grim life. After enjoying a ride for as long as he desires the little fellow hops off and ix gone before Mr. Buzzard is well aware of it. The peculiar part of the whole thing is that apparently the only purpose the ricebird has in getting on the back of the buzzard is to take a free ride. It puzzles every one who chances to see the little drama to find any other rea- gon, yet the fact remains that it is a frequent occurrence, and the little birds seem to enjoy it immensely.— New York Tribune. INDIAN DEATH CUSTOMS. Graves of the Hopi and the Hogans of the Navajos. The Hop! Indian believes that the souls of all deceased adults go to the Grand canyon. When a man dies a grave Is dug. The nearest relative of the deceased carries the body to the grave, places it in a sitting posture facing the Grand canyon, erects a long pole between the legs, locks the dead man's fingers around it and fills the grave. To the top of the pole, pro- truding above the ground, he ties one end of a string and leads the other end in the direction of the Grand can- von. At the end of four days it is believed the soul leaves the body, climbs the pole and with the string to guide it goes to its eternal home in the canyon. The Navajos, on the contrary, are very superstitious about handling dead bodies. They believe that the evil spirit that kills the person hovers around the hogan, as they call their lodge, awaiting other victims, and a hogan in which a death occurs is never occupied again. Navajo hogans are always built with the entrance facing the east. When a death occurs in one of them an opening is invariably made in the north side. Therefore when one sees a hogan with the north side | knocked out he may be certain some | one has died in it.—Dillon Wallace in | Outing. i Antiquity of the Dog. It is impossible to say when dogs | cme mo were first domesticated, but some of the earliest traces are found on Egyp- | tian monuments, with figures of dogs. somewhat of the greyhound type. which date back to at least 3500 B, C. Even in those remote days the deg was highly esteemed. Coming down a little later, we read that Ulysses 3,000 years ago was recognized by his dog Argus after his swineherd had failed to do so. Plutarch speaks of Alcibades, who cut off the tail of his dog, and Myron, the sculptor, immortalized the animal by chiseling his image in marble. The Romans valued their dogs and kept them from the chase and also as pets. Alexander the Great owned a veteran fit to tackle a lion. A Bibulous Goose. Geese will live to a great age, and some few years ago | came across a very venerable goose (male or female 1 cannot now say) in Westmoreland in unexpe-ted circumstances. 1 was walk- ing from Milnthorpe to Arnside and at Ganaside found an acquaintance sit- ting on a seashore bench feeding a pet goose with biscuits steeped in ale. He told me that this goose had been in his family for over forty years and was partial to beer, stout and even gin, Rev. James Hall, M. A. told of a goose in Stirlingshire, Scotland. that had been killed by accident after liv- ing at the same place for “above eighty years." —London Field. Skating on a Tennis Court. When one is building a tennis court] provision may easily be made for al rink by excavating from six inches to one foot deeper than the surround- ing ground and making this depress ed area as much greater than his court as his purse or surroundings will permit. Twenty-five feet in the clear outside the lines of the court will give an area of over 11,000 square feet—an ample space for a number of people to occupy without crowding. The court may be flooded by means of a hose at- tached to the house faucet, first sat- urating the ground and then when it has frozen flooding the court.—Subur- ban Life. Deafness of Blue Eyed White Cats. All white cats are not deaf, but most blue eyed white cats are. It has never been discovered why the blue eyed cats should have the tendency to deaf- ness, but it is a fact, while there has never been a case known of a yellow eyed or green eyed white cat being deaf unless by accident.—St. Nicholas.
