An American Ornitholoci.t.

Americas greatest ornithologist, John
James Audubon, was the son of a French
naval officer, and was born on a Louisiana
plantation on the 4th of May, 1850, and died
in the city of New York on Jan 81, 1851
His fondness for birds led him to keep many
as pets, and to make drawings which ex-
hibited great talent. He was on this account
sent to France, where he received instruc-
tions from the celebrated painter David
Returning to America in 1877, he settled on
farm on the Schuylkill and gave his whole
attention to the study of birds Unfortun-
stely large collection of carefully executed
designs were destroyed by mice. In 1910
Audubon removed to Kentucky, where he
met the Scotch ornithologist, Alexander
Wilson, with whom he made his journeys
through the wilderness. Soon after he visited
the bayous Of Florida and gathered with his
rife and pencil much valuable material
Audubon returned to Philadelphia in 1924 to
arrange for the publication of the fruits of
his researches and in 1926 went to London
and Paris for the same purpose OF the 1T

Indian Relics from Florida

Interesting collection of abort nal remains.
He thoroughly examined mound Of damp
sand on the shore Of Lake Apopka, about the
geographical center Of t.1.s state, and farther
south than any previous researches of the
kind. The mound was fifty feet In diameter
and fourteen feet high, and was covered with
dense growth Of palmetto and other trees.

and pottery, SO numerous that Dr. Feather
stonhahgh estimates that there could have
been no less than 400 bodies deposited there.
A few Venetian beads near the top indicated
intrusive burials, but below four feet there
were no evidences Of any intercourse with
whites. Four shapely hatchets were recov-
cred, also a Charm stone, and numerous
specimens Of decorated pottery. The whole
find was presented to Maj. Powell, and by
him turned over to the museum. Science.

The Ruling pasxinn

Talking about negroes reminds me of q
story of well known travelling man whose
fondness for jokes is liable to get him into
trouble some time. When he stops at a
strange hotel no usually places half dollar
under his glass where his sable attendant Is
sure to see it. He is bound to get the best at
tendance, and sometimes there seems to be a
mad race among the walters when their eyes
catch sight of the coin. You can lust im-
agine their disgust when he gets through to
see him calmly lift his glass and replace the
half dollar in his pocket
l sat at the same table with him in q hotel
once, and for some reason we could not at
tract the attention of waiter. ''I'n catch
em," said he, as he took several dice from his
pocket and shaking them in his hands threw
them on the table. 1t was hardly second
before the table was crowded with walters,
nearly every one in the room being attracted
by the sound Of the worries Il thought it
would fetch them, said he, as we gave our
order. 1T never fails, and I'll guarantee If
We begin shaking craps' nobody else In the
room can get waited on. Dice have the great
est fascination in the world for darky. u

A Passion for Clotheg Pfns-

A Wauwecus hill farmer has cat that has
developed the same interest in clothes pins
that an ordinary cat takes in mouse catch
ing, and she parades with her captures with
just as much pride. She has long devoted
herself to collecting lost clothes pins, and not
few pins that were not lost. Strange to
say, she never touches the clothes pins belong
ing to her owner but is death ON clothes pins
which belong to the neighbors. In the past
three months she has brought home over
twenty eight dozen clothes pins, and inquiry
shows that the cat keeps her eye ON the place
where the clothes pins are kept One neigh
Dor kept basket full of pins on tin ROOT,
and the cat had to pass over two or three
roofs to get them, but she succeeded in taking
three dozen from the basket before she was
discovered. Norwich Bulletin.
