An Absurd Bird. I Kiwi-kiwi is Uie creature's real nam*, 1 I Irtit scientific men call it apteryx, which ' i I ia « Greek word meaning wiuglov, be- a I cause, though a bird.il bos no wings. - 1 I That Is absurd enough, but It does not i I satisfy Ihe kiwi, who sdems to have ! I tried to be as uubirdlikc as possible, ! « and, in order to be so, lias gone to very a j ridiculous extreme*. I It not only lias do wings, but it lias ; | no tail— nut even so much us an apology- i j for one. And as if that were not enough, it has ho feathers worthy of i the name. Its quills are covered witli soft down for about one third of tlwlr t length, and then are fringed with hair- t like webs out to tbe ends, which are , < sliarjy pointed. It is only as large as t a common domesUc fowl, but it lias ! much stronger and stouter legs and big- i Of course you canuot be surprised to ; i learn that sirch a bird looks at first sight a like a quadra | wd. It cariies its head low and hobbles along in a most uncouth ' t fashion, mooring so swiftly when pur- ij sued however, that it is very difficult to i capture this ridiculous bird. When It sleeps in the daytime— for r naturally it is odd enougli to choose the v wrong time for sleeping— it rests its s long bdl on the ground: and so makes I itself look like a strange sort of three- i legged stool. Most other bhds use their , beaks or their wings or their spurt to e light with, but it would be foolish to ex- , peet any such natural proceeding from t the kiwi; and, In fact, its plan of fighting is -to kick. It is very fond of earthworms; and one of.llv ways of procuring them b worthy of so odd s bird, a It thumps the earth with It* big feet, y and if there are any worms in the vlciniiy, up they come to discover what is Ihe matter. : It is a cousin of the ostrich, and though its plurosge has no such vA)Ue for us as lis large relative's has, it b t very highly valued by Uie natives of I New Zealand. The kiwi has a very tough skin, which, wlien it b properly 1 dressed, make* good leather.— John R. I Coryell, in SI. XicMat for October. i The Evolution of Slang. Tbe growth of slang on the variety | stage Is interesting and instructive. For a long time it has been thought funny tojrisy on a word to the extent ' of saying: "I beg your pudding," In- t stead of "I beg your pardon." Next some powdy fakir thought of , remarking to bb pal: "I waa at the t < races to-day, and If I bad bad any money I'd have bet on a horse named "WbyT t "Because Tapioca b a pudding," L e; a soft thing, or easy certainty." , Now tbe former expression haa been audiences" roarl>at ^'X^Uioul , exactly knowing why. J A Brooklia palnMr. evidently a judge . of human nature, has in place of the ( customary sign, "Paint," pot up the . foltowtng On a newly palntea fence: Yes, This is paint, t And It la wet: I There are a few things la thla world which are particularly hard (o do, and ( . one of them b to pay for a soil of clothes t after it b worn out. ,

j He Knows This Trick Now. ] "Have any of you found a hank note?" inquired n man in wiid-eyed excitement he hurriedly approached a lot of rloungeis at the Union depoi yesterday j morning. j "Have you lo.t one?" asked an elderly ' stranger of bland snd sedate np|icar- | "Ye*, yes; have you found it?" j "Wait a moment. )V hat was its denomination?" "It van a J50 bill- National bank , The stranger leisurely drew u roll of from his pocket, looked over them, took one out, and passed it over to the I excited individual, remarking with urj banity as he did so: ! "It b well for you, mg friend, that it ■j was found by an bonest man. I picked it up a Tew minutes ago, And take pieas- | in giving back to you what I am satisfied is your property." i "Thank you, sir; thank you. It's my | ; now lo do the fair thing. Here's a j ; *10 bill. You shan't refuse it. Take < ; sir; take It, or I shell reel hurt." ! The stranger, thus urged, took the j and the grateful individual j walked off with his *50. He wai con1 siderabie surpriised to learn, a few hours' : that the bill was not tbe one be | had lost at all. but a counterfeit. He is now looking for the bland and elderly stranger, but there arc reasons for doubting bis success in finding him.— Chicago Tribune. Conductor— ^ "Madame, did 1 understand you to say this giri iv not yet 12 years old ?" Mother— "8he win be 12 next spring?" "And yon wsnt to go all the way Ui New York on tlih car? " "Yea" "Then you should not go on thb train." "Why not?" "Because thb b a slow train, sud if that girl keriis on growing as she has by tbe time we get to New York she will be so Urge that she not be able to gtl through the ear door. The company can't afford to take the car to pieces on a half-fare ticket." At The Sunday School. Teacher— W illiam. what it the g ldrn text today? Teacher — It U "Watch and-" what else?
