A Birds Foresight.

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away. although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall Of the
year, invariably Ill pine tree. Then
he finds an acorn, which he adjusts to
to one of the holes prepared for its re-
ception. But he does not eat the a.
corn, for, as rule, he is not vegetar-
ian. His object in storing away the a.
corns exhibits foresight and knowledge
of results more akin to reason than to
instinct. The succeeding winter the
acorn remains intact, but, becoming
saturated, is predisposed to decay,
when it is attacked by maggots, who
seem to delight in this special food. 1t
is then that the woodpecker reaps the
harvest his wisdom has provided, at a
time when, the ground being covered
with snow, he would experience diff
Guilty otherwise in obtaining suitable OF
palatable food.

Kisses By Mail.

A young postmaster of village post
Office was hard at work, when gentle
tap was heard upon the door and in
stepped bashful maiden of sixteen,
with money order which she desired
cashed. She handed it, with bashful
smile, to the official, who, after closely
examining it, gave her the money it
called for. At the same time he asked
her if she had read what was written
on the margin of the order.
mo, have not ;" she replied, "for /
cannot mako it out. Will you please
read it for me ?"
The young postmaster read as follows:
"I send you three dollars and a dozen
kisses"
Glancing at the bashful girl. he said:
"Now. I have paid you the money
and suppose you want the Kisses"
"Yes," she said, "if he has sent me
any kisses, want them, too."
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
balance Of the order was promptly paid,
and in scientific manner at that, and
eminently satisfactory to the country
maiden, for she went out of the Office
smacking her lips as if there was ataste
upon them she had never encountered
before.
After she arrived home she remarked
to her mother
.'Eh, mother, but this post-ofice sys-
tenn of ours is a great thing, developing
more and more every year. and each
new feature seems to be the best.
Jimmy sent me dozen kisses along
with the money order, and the post
master gave me twenty. 1t beats the
special delivery system all hollow"
