DO Robins Take a MIN!
From the Chicago Herald.


A New York sporting paper short time
since stated that the robin during his hiberna-
ton in the south 'cuts up somewhat after the
manner of the 9th Massachusetts, during the
late visit to Richmond; that this favorite north
ern sODgster-the robin, we mean-dOes not
show himself much in southern ATTITUDES until
the berry of the china tree is ripe, and then
partakes of it literally, becomes intoxicated
from the alcoholic quality in the berry and
often falls to the ground in an unconscious
state. The Atlanta Constitution defends the
bird against this SANDER as follows: Conservation
has convinced us that the antics of the robins
are the result OF suffOcatOn and not intOXica-
ton. The conformation of the birds neck is
such that food must pass directly across the
windpipe to reach its destination, and, in the
case of a china berry, this journey is rather
to the bird. The berry lodges
aga inst the windppe and the attempts to swal-
low it result in suffOcatiOn. 1t is then the bird
falls from the tree and his efforts to swallow the
berry have the appearance of drunkenness.
Generally the bird RECEIVERS, but sometimes it is
chOked to death. Upon several occasions the
writer hereof has relieved the suffocated birds
by merely pressing the berry past the windpipe
and their recovery was almost instant We al
Jude to this grave matter here because a num-
Der of our exchanges have reproduced the
original SANDER, and it distresses us to see the
character and good name of an innocent bird
banded about in the columns of an irresponsi-
bic press.

Not a Row at All.

From Salt Lake Tribune Law Report.
Counsel-Well, what did you see in the south
drift?
Expert saw disturbance.
Opposing cOunsel-We object to what he saw.
Ii there was row, let the participants testify.
Besides, this is not the proper time for it to be
brought out.
Counsel-This is new to US, but If there was a
row in the drift we consider it material and re-
leyant We have no idea what the row was
about. but we are willing that the facts should
come out. We've no skeletons to conceal
Opposing COUNSEL repel any of my brothers
skeleton insinuations. simply ask that we
be nut to no disadvantage and want nothing
brought out on the cross-eXaminatiOn that we
did not bring out on the redirect.
The Court-The witness can answer the
question.
Opposing counsel-We except and ask that
our exception be noted.
Witness-It was caused by breaking in.
Opposing counsel-HOld on now. we object to
ANYTHING relating to the time the bulk
head was broken down.. We decidedly object
for the reason that it is highly irrelevant as well
as decidedly immaterial
The Court-Objection overruled. This bulk
head came up in the direct.
Opposing cOunsel-NOte one exception.
Expert-The disturbance was caused by the
breaking in of gravel boulders through the
hanging wall and congtOmerating the siturian
limestone with qualifications of gray shale.
Counselor! An organic disturbance.
Expert-Exactly.
