The Sent of the Kingfisher
Our American belted alcyon or com
mon kingfisher is au expert hole borer
There is scarcely a clayey bank along
the streams of our middle and south
ern states but has its face cut by the
door of one of these gloomy looking
houses
The hole Is usually quite round and
goes directly 1110 the bank with a
slight upward slant to a distance of
from two to four feet where it turns
nearly at right angles to one side or
the other ending in a large jug shaped
pocket where the eggs are laid The
kingfisher is my most cheerful com
panion when I am out for a days or a
weeks angling It Is an ever fresh de
light to watch him swooping down into
the clear brook water with a melodious
plunge and coming forth sparkling like
a flake from a blue sea wave or a frag
ment of turquoise He rarely fails to
catch the minnow he strikes at but his
appetite is unremitting and Insatiable
He eats from morning till night
Maurice Thompson
Two Thins That Scnre a Negro
Two seemingly harmless things ex
cite the fear of the southern negro
One is the cracking of the finger joints
the other Is to be stepped over as he
lies prone upon the ground The crook
ing of the linger joints seems to sug
gest to the negro imagination the rat
tling of a skeletons bones while to be
stepped over is regarded as likely to
bring bad luck to grown folks and to
check the growth of children A half
grown negro boy will sternly com
mand a playfellow who has stepped
over his body to step back In order
that the spell may be removed

WOMEN WARRIORS
Many Hnvc Fought Hrnvely Ecn
putlex of a Queen
The muster rolls of the civil war
show a number of cases of soldiers who
were discovered to be women
One of the most remarkable women
was Christian Cavenagh who lived In
England In the nineteenth century She
was married and had three children
Her husband was carried off to Hol
land where he had to enlist as a pri
vate soldier Ills wife dressed as a
man and enlisted so as to be near her
husband She was wounded at the bat
tle of Landen made a prisoner by the
French and carried to St
where she remained until she
was exchanged Then she quarreled
and fought a duel with her sergeait
and was transferred to another regi
ment Again she was wounded at Ita
millies when her secret was discover
ed She was however permitted to
remain with the regiment as a cook
Many English officers recall the case
of Dr James Barry This woman
served in the British army about fifty
years ago as a surgeon at the Cape at
Malta and at Barbados At the Cape
he fought a duel with an officer who
had called him a woman
Mrs Lindley the wife of a soldier
went through some of the sharpest en
gagements of the civil war She en
listed in Company D Sixth Ohio cav
alry and fought at Fort Magruder
Hanover Court House Bull Run Antie
tam and Boonsboro She is said to be
still living and the mother of several
children
Christina queen of Sweden was edu
cated and dressed like a boy from her
birth because her father was disap
pointed at not having a son She was
more a king than a queen and after
four years of rule resigned her crown
and went off to amuse herself in Eu
lope She was dressed in mens clothes
and acted as uproariously as any man
who ever owned his clothes by right
of sex She was only twenty eight at
the time Savannah News
BOILING IT DOWN
A Valuable Lcshoii In tlie Gentle Art
of Omlttini
It was this way was explaining
a quite fresh and young appearing
gentleman to a much older companion
as I took a seat near them in the res
taurant I thought that it was quite
a clever short story and as the pro
fessor had asked me to read it to him
for the purpose of criticism he listened
patiently for the thirty minutes that it
took me to go through it
Good for the first writing he said
but you must learn the art of omitting
You have unnecessary sentences Find
them omit them and come and read it
again
I followed his advice and the next
time it took me twenty minutes to
read it
Better he said Try it again for
there is more you can omit
I didnt show the annoyance that I
felt but did some more cutting and
condensing Then I read it to him
again in fifteen minutes
That is nearer to the correct thing
he said with an approving nod but
there is chance for a little more prun
ing
It was with an effort that 1 re
strained myself but knowing that he
Is an authority in literary matters for
the third time I went to the slaughter
of the innocents and returning the
next day read it to him in ten minutes
That is something like he ex
claimed slapping me on the back
Another little omitting seance will fix
it
This is a little too much I an
swered as 1 seized my manuscript
with a show of feeling You had bet
ter tell me to omit every word of it
Thats it my boy thats it he re
plied It is too much Omit the rest
aud you will never hear a word of ad
verse criticism
Ill be hanged if I didnt take hi3
advice again and throw the story in
the wastebasket New York Herald
The Extinct Northern Sea Cow
In the year 1734 the Bering explor
ers discovered gigantic species of ryti
naj or northern s a cow These
mjtts manatees wre similar in gener
al habits to those of the S -tub Ameri
can coast and were from twenty to
thirty feet in length and from ten to
twenty feet in girh They were very
stupid harmless bensis and lived by
browsing on seaweeds and other ma
rine growths near the land The sail
ors were not slow in finding out that
a sa cjw steak bat seal meat all
hollow From 171 1 until 17S they
were the principal food of the sailors
and explorers on 0111 western coast
This being the case it is not at all sur
prising that the northern sea cow nev
er a very numerous species should be
e tne extinct in the short snaee of four
teen years The last of the giant man- j
ates was killed in September 17CS a
few months less than fourteen years
after the discovery of the first one
