An INGENIOUS Kind of Bird,

One Of the most interesting and COM
mon birds in the Adirondacks is large
woodpecker that bores holes in the bark
of spruce and then plugs them up with
acorns and nuts of any kind. One piece
of wood taken from tree, of about eight
square inches, contains ten of these
plugs, so closely and tightly wedged in
that knife had to be used to force them
out. The piece of bark looks as if
wooden bullets had been fred at it and
just covered themselves. The general
impression seems to be that the birds
put them there and eat them in winter
or later, but squirrels, it would seem,
would have the best of it. We have
seen the birds picking at nuts or acorns
that had evidently been lodged in the
wood some time, and were impressed
with the idea that they had been placed
there to collect grubs and other live food
that would work into them, and then the
woodpecker would visit the trap he had
set and reap the reward of his labors.
The amount of work woodpecker does
in making a hole three inches deep can
be in agined when it is known that in
some of the pieces of wood bored, ten or
fifteen pecks of their bills hardly make
any impression. How many thousand
it would take to finish the work
mentioned, and consequent wear and
tear of patience. can be imagined.

A Good Instance of Circumstantial Evil
dence.
From Harper's Magazine

From Harper's Magazine.]
A lawyer in Central New York gives
the following account of one of his first
cases:
"My client sued his neighbor for the
alleged killing of favorite dog. The
proof consisted in the mysterious disap-
pearance of the animal, and the posses
sion of a dogs skin by the defendant,
which, after considerable argument, was
brought into court in evidence. It was
marked in singular manner, and was
positively identified. with many tears,
by the plaintiffs wife and daughter as
the undoubted integument of the de-
ceased Bose. In summing up to the
jury, was in the midst of highly col
ored picture of the virtues of the de-
ceased, and of the love of the children
for their four-footed friend, when I was
interrupted by a slight disturbance in
the crowd near the door of the little
school house which served as court
house. Looking around, I saw my
clients youngest son, a tow-headed ur-
chin of twelve, coming forward with a
dog whose skin was the exact counter
part of the one put in evidence. The
dog wagged his tail with good-natured
composure, and the boy cried, in his
childish treble, Paw, Bose has come
home. I gathered up my law books
and retreated, and have never had per-
feet confidence in circumstantial evidence
since

$50 feet in lengthy were about half-flled
with pure water. We rode beside the
aqueduct with leads from them all the
way to Bethlehem. Down among the
bleak and barren hills we saw the deep,
and fruit trees. 1t is cultivated by the
European colony planted by Mr.. Meshull-
man. For haf-hour we feasted our
eyes with view of beautiful Bethle-
hem perched on it's lofty hill, and sur
rounded by olive orchards. So many new
ed1fices have been erected for converts
and other religious purposes that Beth
lehem has almost modern look. AS we
rode through Its narrow streets we saw
no Ruths, but an ancient Jew in turban,
long robe and flowing beard, quite an
swered to my idea of Boaz. We rode on
to the convent adjoining the Church of
the Nativity, where rather jolly look
ing monk furnished us an excellent
lunch. He then took us into the veneer
able church thateovers the subterranean
chamber in which tradition has always
held that our blessed Lord was born.
The chamber Is probably the remnant of
ancient khan once belonging to the fam
lily OF Jesse and Of King David. I ex-
pected to be shockedby sham mockery
when entered the church, but feeling
of genuine faith In the locality came
over me as [ descended into the rocky
chamber and read. around the silver star,
the famous inscription in Latin, Here
Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin
Mary" The three-fold argument for
the authenticity of this site is drawn
from unbroken tradition from the fact
that Bethlehem has never been over
thrown in sieges, and from the other
fact that the learned st. Jerome, in the
fourth century, was so sure of the site
that he came and spent his long, labor
1ous life in the cavern close by the birth
spot of our Lord. I entered with deep
interest the cave in which this devoted
scholar meditated and prayed and
wrought the Vulgate translation of Gods
word. My visit to the Church of the
Nativity was ten-fold more satisfactory
than that to the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher in this city.

A Pioneers Experience.
[From the st. Louis Republican. i

Among the curious instances of gun
slot wounds that everybody has to- re-
late growing out of the shooting of the
President is that mentioned yesterday
by General Wingate, which happened to
his grandfather. Soon after the revo-
lutiOnary war his grandfather went
down the Ohio and Mississippi in charge of
a keel boat, and on their return trip up
the Ohio, when just below the present
site Of Cincinnati, they saw some
Indians prowling along the shore in the
woods. The generals grandfather armed
his crew and landing them, headed
charge against the savages. They fol-
lowed short distance and were led into
ambuseade, the few Indians they saw
being a decoy.
Every one of the crew was killed ex-
cept the generals grandfather, who was
shot through both hips, and another one
Of the crew, who was shot through both
wrists. The generals grandfather
crawled into hollow tree, where he re-
manned several days. One day he saw
wild turkey straddling along towards his
hollow tree top and he could not with
stand the impulse born of hunters life
to kill the game, which he did. The re-
port Of the firing notified the man shot
through the wrists of his whereabouts.
He came out of his place of concealment
and as his legs were good for use,
whereas the legs of the generals grand
father were not, be kicked the turkey TO-
wards the latter, and they managed to
have good meal out of it. To satisfy
their thirst the man with the crippled
wrists brought water from the river in
his hat, holding the brim in his mouth.
The two cripples remained in this con-
dition eleven days, fearing the Indians,
before succor arrived.

T able Etiquette.

If by writing this we can induce one
man who now wipes his hands on the
table-cloth to come up and take higher
ground and wipe them on his pants, we
shall feel amply repaid.
If you cannot accept an invitation to
dinner, do not write your regrets on the
back of pool-check with blue pencil.
This is now regarded as r1cochet.
A simple note to your host informing
him that your washerwoman will not re-
lent is sufficient.
On seating yourself at the table, draw
off your gloves and put them in your lap
under your napkin. Do not put them
in the gravy, as it would ruin the gloves
and cast gloom over the gravy. If you
have just cleaned your gloves with ben
zine, you might leave them out in the
front yard.
Stones in cherries or other fruit should
not be placed on the table-cloth, but slid
quietly and unostentatiously into the
pocket of your neighbor or noiselessly
tossed under the table.
Ladies should take but one glass OF
wine at dinner. Otherwise there might
be difficulty in steering the male portion
of the procession home.
Donot make remarks about the amount
your companion has eaten. IF the lady
who is your company at table, whether
she be your wife or the wife of some one
else, should eat quite heartily, do not
offer to pay your host Cor his loss, or say
to her, Z" Great Scott I hope you will
not kill yourself because you have the
opportunity" but be polite and gentle
manly, even though the food supply be
cut off for week.
If one of the gentlemen drops raw
oyster in his bosom and he should have
trouble in getting it out, do not make
facetious remarks about it, but assist
him to find it, laughing heartily all the
time. Blu Me.
