WHOSE NEGLECT?
Nobody wonders what goes on
Behind the curtain our pride has drawn
To dim the sights that would shame conceit
Or quicken our hearts one kindly beat!
“That screen "twixt us and the friendless poor,
‘Who wearily wait in vain at ou rdoor,
Unloved, unguarded, groping blind,
*Tis a veil that nobody looks behind.

No one’s affair if fortunes grow
Of peril and life-blood, pain and woe,
And children’s faces that used to shine!
Nobody's business—but yours and mine!

Warner, in Collier's.
The ‘““Wish-bone.”
Scientists call the “wish-bone” the fur-
cula, and it is the union of what are, in!
man, two collar-bones. These receive the
brunt of the strokes of the wing that turn
the creature in its flight.
Few of us ate the strength of
stroke of the bird's wing. A swan has
- | been known to break a man's leg by a |
blow of its wing, and, in like manner, the
wing beatings of the larger birds are
dangerous if they strike the human head
or face. If, therefore, a large bird is in
the habit of making sudden turns to right
or left in its flight, it must be fitted with
a “wish-bone"” capable of withstanding the
great strain of the wing stroke on the one
side, when unaccompanied by action on
the other.
For this reason we find in the eagle
