Later he acquires the reason and forgets to feel unworthy.—Smart Set Falcons In Japan. In the olden times in Japan all the dalmios (similar to the old English lord) had great sport with falcons, as they went out to the field to catch other birds with falcons. The falcons were tamed well and used to catch large birds, mostly cranes. When people now go out hunting with falcons, the men in charge hold them upon their fin gers. As soon as one sees any bird he lets the falcofi rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon reaches the bird he bites at the throat and throws the bird down to the ground. Meanwhile the holder runs to the place where they are and catches both of them. Falcons are not large birds; but, as they belong to the eagle family, they are strong und brave and never afraid to go at any bird to kill it, but the men in charge of falcons of course take great care in feeding and .taming them, J T ZJ "A MONTANA BLUFF." flow Four Troopera Made SeTenty flve Flliplnoa Flee, What Is regarded as one of *he tallest bluffs on record furnished Captain Ed gar Russel, chief signal officer in the j Philippines during the insurrection, with a story which he told as an exam ple of western nerve. "We were outside of Manila In some < little scrap." said the captain, "and about seventy-five natives were lying in a trench ahead of us, shooting away merrily, but not hitting anybody. By and by I noticed a little disturbance In our front Presently four Montana troopers trotted out of our lines and started straight for the Filipinos. Ev erybody looked at them with wonder and waited to see them all killed. Bul lets whistled all around them, but they never halted. Slowly, just at a trot, they jogged on toward the enemy. The natives fired and fired, but for some unknown reasou did not hit. On and on went the quartet, disdaining cover. At List there was a shout, and to our utter astonishment we beheld the sev enty-five Filipinos suddenly jump out of their trenches and take to their heels in mad flight The nerve of the Montana troopers was too much for them. When they had nil fled, throw ing their rifles away as they ran, the troopers came back, their arms full of guns. That is what the army called 'a Montana bluff.' It's the sort of nerve that lets a man open a jackpot on a pair of deuces." —New York Tribune. Tlie Women of Ungrnn. Woman supreme —without the ballot! And this feather which London An swers sticks in the cap of woman is no less brilliant because she is allowed to wear It only in the town of Langum. In that little Welsh village man neither is nor pretends to be. In other villages he sometimes pretends to be, but in this sequestered nook on the Pembrokeshire coast he Is simply An nie Williams' man or Mary Jones' man and recognizes himself as such. In Langum woman is the dominating force in the market; she is the house hold financier, the family accountant, and in fact fills all the positions which in any other community, civilized or barbaric, are established by precedent given to man-. Whether he of Langum has resigned or been divested of all re sponsibilities of life is no part of this story. There Is another important fact In Langum life —oysters. The place is fa mous for them. But Langum oysters are in no sense rivals of Langum wo mankind; their proverbial dumbness precludes that. Newport's Architecture. The cottages of Newport afford a strange commentary upon the con trasting tastes of the American na tion. Their heterogeneity were impos sible in a race of settled culture, In a race of common blood. In a country of limited extent But the United States is a natlou of nations. Its people are not Americans, but Englishmen and Scotsmen, Frenchmen and Germans, Italians and Spaniards of the third or fourth or tenth generation, says the Smart Set Their taste in architec ture is a taste that was born on the sunny Mediterranean shore, In cozy Normandy orchards, in classic Spain and Italy, in baronial Scotland and England. It is revealed in the cha teaux, the castles, the villas, the log gias of Newport. Seville and Wel beck, Florence and Falaise, here stand side by side on the same strip of grass, separated only by a grille from Venice or Antwerp. Koah Left the Ark on April 29. Saturday, April 29, is the day marked in all ancient calendars as being the one upon which Noah and his family quitted the ark after having withstood the siege of the great deluge. The day is marked in all ancient calendars, es pecially British, as egressus Note de area, the 17th of March, the day upon which Noah, his family and their great floating collection of natural history specimens set sail, being designated in the same class of early printed litera ture as Introitus Note In area, "the day of Noah's entrance into the ark." Why these days were chosen as the ones upon which the supposed embarkation and debarkation were made are enig mas which the antiquarians have not yet solved. Inatlncts That Lead to Death. Professor Mivart proved that there are "Instincts" that lead to death by falling to adapt themselves to a change of circumstances. Migratory quail by thousands perish In the deserts of northern Africa, where their ancestors used to find a comfortable winter re- Bort, abounding with forests and even with gralnfields, If we shall credit Pliny's account of the Numidlan coast lands. The forests are gone, but rnyri feds of quail still follow in the same route at the risk of starvation. A Long Green One. "Bribem's interested In that bill you voted for," said the first councilman.
