' ' . Cosmopolitan. CASSOWARIES IN A FIGHT. They Are the Qnly Birds, Excepting Ostriches, That Can Kick. Although the cassowary in captivity has the reputation of -vbeing extremely tractable and docile, he is terrible when aroused. A notable peculiarity of this- bird is that if any particular object' attracts his attention he will .perform a sort of war dance over it.' This happened at the zoo when one of the cassowaries, which are confined in cages near the main entrance, lighted upon a gaudy piece of ribbon blown inside the bars from ,the hat or dress of some woman visitor. He was one of the smallest of the col lection, but he was of a martial disposi tion. After having carefully examined the ribbon he started his war dance and kept it up with great vigor for some min utes. Just while he was at the height of his enjoyment a larger cassoway came up and interfered with him. He stood this for some time, but when the larger bird attempted to oust him from the spot in order that he in turn might prance about the ribbon he re sented the intrusion in no uncertain style. Kicking "out vigorously on all sides, craning his neck, snapping his beak, elongating his body and hitting imaginary blows with the horny mass- which casso waries carry on the tops of their heads and which is called the helmet, he seem ed to bid defiance to1 all comers. " The larger cassowary, thinking ap parently that he could treat the demon strations of the lightweignt witn con tempt, commenced hustling the latter. The' two were ill matched as regards height, one of them being about five feet high and the other a foot or more shorter, but the battle which ensued showed that weight and height will not always tell. Forward kicks were the main feature of the fight. The cassowary, it is be lieved, is the only bird, except perhaps the ostrich, which uses this method of at tack and defense, and-the way a casso way can kick would warm the heart of a French boxer. He can kick straignt out like a man, or he can do the high kick like a music hall star. At first the blows were delivered chief ry on the breast and didn't hurt much, but eventually the small bird knocked the other one out with a masterly stroke de livered by the long sharp claw of the in ner toe on the wattles of its antagonist. No fatal injury was done, but the shock must have been terrific, for the big bird uttered a peculiar cry and retired in confusion to its corner, while the victo rious one resumed its war dance. It also had been aeverely punished, and one could almost imagine it saying to itself, like Mr. Henley: Beneath the bludgeonings of fate My head is bloody, but unbowed. London Express. Lombroio "Flspnred Ot : k- - - . . - -From Investigations among sptdiera and from the Ifteratore of the subject there w no-doubt in my own mind that if a mart's development, is so unstable that he has psychical stiimata he is invariably of bAa physical development also and hasiamner-; ous " psychical stigmata. ' .As 5 far. as I know, there are iev . ii any cases 01 no normal minds in average, bodies devoid of stigmata. It is a fair inference tnen, -that if a man's body is nearly an average inr- all respects, .height, weight propor? tions, etc., there must also be an average brain and therefore-a-normal mind, ex- cladlnjgv'of coarse, normal men ' who have acquired insanity -' Beyond this we dare' not go,, for there is absoMitely ho relation between intelligence and stature. Men of genius may be big like Bismarck or little like' Napoleon or De-tJosta, and the. same may be said of thefeeble minded as well as those o average intelligence, lieorge Washington's physical measurements are said to have been identical with those of. Jeffries, the giant pugilist. Other illus trations might be given indefinitely." It is true that the human brain weight depends upon the body weight, for many muscles require many brain cells In like mawier the sparrow needs but -a few grains of brain, while the whale and ele1 phaot must have more than man. Yet that indescribable and immeasurable va riable called intelligence j depends upon other -things in addition I to weight of brain,, and the increase of brain weight due to increased stature consists of tissue which may not and probably does not have any bearing upon intelligence. . : A, big physique with immense reserve power and endurance is a decided ele rnent in forcing men to the front in the struggle of life. This is in accordance with investigations among school chil dren, which are said to show that the best scholars in any class are appreciably bigger than the rest. Hence, other things being equal, the big men, having an ad vantage, should have a larger percentage of their number successful than the little men. ;Yet statistics show the very oppo site, for Lombroso mentions ("Man of Genius," page G) but 26 great men of tall stature, while he names 51 who are short, some of them being even dwarfish or less than five feet in height. As the anomalies of height are equally distributed on each side fo the mean there must be some tre mendously active cause to make the little men more than twice as brilliant as the big. The two classes, being equally re moved from the average, should be equal ly abnormal mentally. Dr. Charles E. Woodruff in Medical Review. ;:- -?( m ;isrf:j mm m a mr mi mt mm -rnr m -m mm ii.r v r www 'vm !VW'T ViTHOUT- J t .Uf CS ADULTERATION. f I : ' - WANTED TO BE A MEDIATOR. si'iiibS'lil' Saved hr His Wi. Wit has often saved an offender from punishment in military as well as in civil life. Not long since a noncommissioned offi cer entering a barrack -gate in Dublin was mistaken by the "fresh one" on sen try, who immediately "came to the shoul der." The noncom., unaware that his colonel was just behind, returned the salute, a thing not permissible in the circum stances.' Arrived at his quarters, he shortly received an order to attend before the colonel. . On presenting himself he was askedl how he came to return the salute, know ing full well that he was not entitled to it ; ' Not in the least embarrassed, he promptly answered:' "Sir, I always return everything I am' not entitled to."' His ready wit pleased the colonel, who laughingly dismissed him. London Spare Moments. . Nature's Storehouse the Mountains. The mountain dweller lives apart from! the world. The present is the past when; it reaches him.

Mountaineer Took Kindly to Sugges tion of Interposing Friend. As we sat smoking our pipes by the fireplace I ventured to say to mine host that I had heard of the fetid between the Johnsons and the Robinsons and asked him to tell me how it came about. He scratched his head and looked puzzled, and finally said: "It's a good way back, and I've dun forgot. Reckon it was about a dawg." "That's what I've heard, that your dog chased a mule of his which was feeding in front of your house. Robinson got mad about it, you had high words and then the feud began which has lasted 18 years. Is it true 2" "Reckon that's the way of it," he slow ly -replied. "There wasn't much in that to quarrel about?" "No." "But two or three people have been killed on either side on account of it, understand." "Three on one side and two on t'other, he answered after counting on his fingers, "and two more wounded." He seemed so calm and good natured about it that I thought I might go fur ther, and after a bit I asked: "Uncle Ben, don't you think this quar rel ought to be fixed up?" "Might be," he replied as he gazed into the fire in a blank way. "Suppose, for instance, that I volunteer my services as mediator." "Waal?" "How would you suggest that I go to wjsrk to bring peace between the two families? " The old man se up and took the tongs and replaced a brand which had fallen on the hearth and then sat down and asked: "Do you know where Robinson lives?" "Yes. Three miles up the road." "Kin you shoot?" "Fairly well." "Waal, you take your gun and sot out fur Robinson's. Git the hull crowd from the old .man down to the "last young un into the house and then fasten all the doors and begin poppin at 'em through the winders. Keep it up till the last one has turned up his toes, and when you come back with the news thar'll be an end to the quarrel and we'll hev peace." Chicago News. x 'Cocoas osmusst v PURE l .
