the black of night the hawk glided low on whist wings breast streaked blood from his and blotched wounded leg with Like magic the cries of all but the king birds were hushed while still scream ing with rage and hurt the hawk rose heavily skyward and marked his course athwart the wjnd for the shelter of the woods Harold S Deniing in Harpers Magazine Persian Drnmnilcs A traveler speaking of some of the oddities of Persian customs wnen view ed with occidental eyes said Depending as we do upon illusion and scenic effects in our theaters the presentation of a Persian play by na tive performers strikes the westerner as little short of ridiculous the extreme solemnity of all concerned making the appeal to hilarity all the stronger In one of their favorite miracle plays the prophet is supposed to ascend to heav en and this dramatic incident is ac complished by the very simple expedi ent of drawing him up from the stage and out of sight with a block and tackle The tackle is attached to his belt by an attendant In plain view of that many of the onlookers will be ob served weeping openly Harpers Weekly The Gardener It is at once the joy and the despair of a gardener that his work is never done His- materials are growing changing ever varying things This is an endless delight to a man who -lives with his garden and watches his plans grow up When he makes a garden for another It is a different matter Then after spending his best thought and skill the garden must be turned over into the hands of the Philistine who may doubtless will spoil his color ef fects make gaudy what before was rich Introduce tawdry display where before was a sensitive delicacy These are the things that try mens souls and will continue to try them until the own ers of large places acquire some de gree of sympathy with and under standing of art Century Childs View of Art A lover of rare old china had a col lection that was the envy of her visit ors One day a little girl came with her mother for a call and being seat ed in the living room wonderingly eyed the array of antique dishes The hostess was much pleased at the childs evident admiration of her treasures fed said Well my dear what do you think of my china The child iooked up and pity was in her eyes asske asked Hasnt you dot any pantry Kot Mntclied Mustache cups said the salesuian Yes sir Heres a pretty design Cup and saucer 198 But said Mr Nurich Uiat aint the saucer that goes -with it Oh yes Not much it aint There alnt no mustache guard on it Philadelphia Press Unnecessary Monsieur said the duelists second all Is ready Let me shake your hand Voila exclaimed the duelist with chattering teeth Can you not see eet ees shake too much as eet ees Philadelphia Ledger The left side of the face Is usually considered by artists to be more beau tiful than the right THE APACHES Thin Tribe Holds the Record a Bad Indians Scarcely a tribe of our American In dians but what have engraved their a cross the little open space cleared by ord of crime and infamy high up on the fallen maple paused an almost Iin 1 perceptible Instant above the Ing squirrel and then wings closed dropped upon him with unerring talons But for some strauce reason the historys wall yet above them all is the Apaches From 1540 to 1853 New Spain and Mexico carried on a so called warfare with these people The Apaches were vastly outnumbered by the Mexican rier seemed powerless to bear away ioldleryt but wuat they lncked n ui3 urn vunt uid uiifkj uijjuicucu 1 screams drowned out the dying squeak I of the squirrel he strove with great rattling wing strbkes to get purchase on the air but could not Over and over again he struck downward with his beak apparently at the squirrel though of this because of the blur of his whipping wings I could not be sure In a moment he half toppled 1 forward and then like a huge broken that seemed fairly to lacerate his throat In but little more than It takes to tell It a dozen kingbirds had gathered and were buzzing round the struggling harrier like gadflies round a horse adding their spiteful cries to his narsn uin now a crow appeared out num bers was more than made up In cour age and craftiness The Apache ever had a thorough contempt for the Mexi can soldier and in later years when they were fighting with firearms as well as arrows they would not waste cartridges on the Mexicans but would kill them with arrows spears and Btones saving their cartridges for oMier and more worthy foes TTtnrrnfl nnrf 1lrlfra c flnnna iiUmif I a part of the United States the Apaches among the tangled 1 coils of roots utter- l J were a serious problem with which we Ing meanwhile shrill screech on screech x j had to contend Our government vacil lated between a simpering peace poiicy and the other extreme their extermina tion Their zone of wandering being inter sected by the International boundary line further complicated matters They x woul a down into Mexico and then of nowhere and searched deep In his f i x j rush back with the plunder to our side throat for his hoarest cry blue jays flashed across the clearing and back again In a frenzy of clamorous exclte 1 ment a swarm of chattering black- birds rushed Into the tree above me till its branches sagged and creaked like those of a laboring tree over j weighted with fruit all in an instant bedlam was let loose round that old wind wrecked maple Under cover of the uproar I crept nearer and saw that a big black dog mink his bulldog jaws clamped on the upper leg of the harrier was grim ly fighting to pull him down from be hind while the harrlec -with the spaed 1 of terror and hate sought desperately to reach his assailant with his beak It looked as If the mink must win for the harrier was perceptibly weakening in his vain counter attack but a sud j den lift with the harriers long wings half tore the mink from his hold and swung him for one brief moment with in distance of that rending beak Rip a big red gash gaped open on the minks writhing flank and he let go and tumbled back among the roots Up leaped the hawk his pearly white j of the line out of reach of the pursuing soldiers Next it would be a raid on the AriEona side and a flight Into the wild mountains of Sonora The Mexi can government attempted to assist their miserable army by giving a scalp bounty and for years they paid out their gold coin for Apache scalps Scalp hunting became a recognized in dustry The horror of this was that to the Mexican official all scalps looked alfke whether from the head of a hos tile or a friendly Indian The price was 100 for a man 50 for a woman and 25 for a child It Is small wonder that the tribe sank deeper into sav agery than ever when we stop to think that the men knew there was a price set on the scalps of their wives and children and there was a horde of human fiends white in color but more savage than the savage himself who were hunting them as they would a cougar of the mountains B S Curtis in Scrlbners QUICKER THAN LIGHTNING Action of the Human Body Outstrips Everything In Motion As quick as lightning is a phrase colloquially used to express the maxi mum of rapidity but according to a well known scientist electricity itself Is outstripped by that old fashioned machine the human body by which it appears powers can so to speak be generated in the brain transmitted through the nerves and developed in the muscles in an infinitesimal frac tion of a second I It is stated that a pianist in playing a presto of Mendelssohn played 55R5 notes in four minutes and three sec onds Thestriking of each of these It has been estimated involved two movements of the finger and possibly more I Again the movements of the wrist elbows and arms can scarcely be less than one movement for each note As twenty four notes were played each second and each involves three move ments we would have seventy two vol untary movements per second Again the place the force the time and the duration of each of these move- uie uuuiemc oU onuiig uuem is ments were controlled tne imaginative power in tue oriental All these motor reactions were conditioned upon a knowledge of the position of each fin ger of each hand before it was moved while moving it as well as of the au ditory effect to force and pitch all of which involves equally rapid sensory transmissions If we add to this the work of the memory in placing the notes in their proper position as well as the fact that the performer at the same time partici pates in the emotion the selection de scribes and feels the strength and weaknesses of the performance we ar rive at a truly bewildering network of impulses coursing along at inconceiva bly rapid rates Such estimates show too that we are capable of doing many things at once The mind is not a unit but is composed of higher and lower centers the avail able fund of attention being distrib uted among them Pearsons Weekly Lesrend and Reality Legend tells how Napoleon while Moscow was in flames found time to draw
