TAKES 5 MEN TO HOLD BIRD
Penguin of the South Polar Regions Welghs Seventy Pounds and Has -+ Qreat Strength.
The largest, as well as the rarest, of the penguing, those queer birds of the South Polar regions, was first seen by Captaln Cook, the noted navigator. These strange creatures sometimes weigh as much as seventy-five or eighty pounds, and the muscles covering their breast contribute more than one-third of their entire weight. A very large specimen was captured and taken on board ship in an expedition to the Antarctic. - Standing erect, In the sheen of its plumage, it seemed clothed with gold and purple, and white and black. '
Presently it gave an exhibition of its extraordinary strength. One blow of its flipper-llke fore limb sent an Impertinent dog howling off to nurse his head. Five men were required to secure the penguin, and they succeeded only with great difficulty, ong holding to each leg, one to each flipper and one grasping the neck. After being strongly bound, the museular bird succeeded in breaking loose.
“Another indication of the immense strength of the fore llmbs, or flippers, of the penguin is the fact that with thelr aid the birds are able to leap perpendicularly out of the water to a height of three feet or more, landing upright on a cake of ice. They approach close to the edge of the ice before making the leap, and jump directly upward.—Boys’ Life Magazine.
BEN JONSON WAS WAR HERO
England’s First Poet Laureate Killed His Opponent in View of : o Two Armies.
Ben Jonson, England’'s first poet laureate, came from a noble family, his grandfather having been ‘a man of rank and fortune in the service of Henry -111. His father, however, suffered persecution in the reign of Bloody Mary, and it was only at her death that he was liberated from prison. Death came to him just a month before the birth of his famous son. S ;
The youth of the poet was full of vieissitude. The trade of bricklaying had been thrust upon bim by a stepfather, but disdaining tc become a bricklayer, he entered Cambridge at the age of sixteen. Because of lack of funds to carry onm his studies he entered the army and performed many heroic deeds in the Low Countries. Once he engaged in single combat and slew his opponent, seized his arms and carried them away in full view of both armies. : >
When he left the army he became an actor. At the outset of his career on the stage a quarrel with a fellow actor resulted in a duel, in which Ben Jonson killed his opponent. He was overcome with remorse and the deed is said to have colored all his future life. He was thrown into prison and was brought near to the gallows.—Detroit News. : .
Safety Ahead.
“If the majority of young Americans are like little Robert, this nation need have no fear for its future,” said Senator Lodge at a banquet recently, and when asked who little Robert was, told of meeting the little chap at the house of a close friend. -
: “He was busy trying to make a boat and finally his father asked him, ‘Why don’t you sit down quietly and try to read one of your books, instead of trying to make that boat?
®¢'Cause I don’t like to keep reading other people’s finks when I want to make my own hands de a fink of their owa'? " S
Buried Talents.
An old negro, 'who had since man’s memory been a charge on public charity, died the other day in Americus. When a search was made among his belongings In the decrepit old cabin his brother found a deed to some valuable property and -a number of currency bills amounting to $l,OOO. The bills were in $2 and $§ denomination. But they were so badly worn and frayed that they had to be sent to the mint to be redeemed. A repetition of the parable of the man who buried his talent. :
anappyr‘Cng-Back;
At a dinner a well-known comedian had finished his speech and, as he sat down, & lawyer arose, thrust his hands into his trousers pockets and Inquired: “Doesn’t it strike this company as a iittle unusual that a professional comedian should be funny?” When the laughter had subsided the comedian drawled out: “Doesn’t it strike this company as a little unusual that a lawyer should have his hands in his own pockets?”’ :
