A Cute Humning Bird,

The family of John n. Isbell at their
home on the Madison shore, have discov-
cred queer way to capture humming
birds alive. Recently a small humming
bird which had frequented the flowers
on the veranda was observed teaching
two of its young to sip honey from the
buds. The old bird, as well as the little
ones, was quite tame, but the latter were
evidently unsl1illed in the art of extract
ing honey. Their efforts resulted in
running many of the tender flowers.
One of the ladies on the porch tossed
cap at the young intruders, as if to
warn them that they must take more
pains with their work or else seek flow
ers elsewhere. The old bird immedi-
ately resented this insult by falling
seemingly in faint or trance. In this
condition she permitted herself to be
captured and inspected, but it was OBJ
served that one eye was always open to
take in the situation. Luckily for the
mother bird her captors soon released
her, placing her uninjured on the floor.
After waiting till all was quiet, the old
bird came to life and took wing to rejoin
her young, who were still engaged in
their abortive assaults on tho flowers.
This story is vouched for by the men,
bers of the family.-New Haven Pal

Unwilling Movers.

1t is a well known fact that many peo-
pie find the last day of April the most
convenient time for moving to their
country although the suggestion that
this has anything to do with the rate of
taxation in the two places where they
own houses would undoubtedly be re-
pudiated with scorn by many of the
movers.
There are some people, however, who
receive suggestions of that kind with a
half hidden smile, and there are others
actually bold enough to say that they
prefer country taxes to those of the city.
There is one man in New England who
has learned to reduce his taxes to the
lowest possible figure, even at considera-
bic inconvenience to himself.
He owns farm, which is only remark
able from the fact that it is in two states,
instead of one. To make the most of
this peculiar advantage he has built his
house with its south side in one state
and its north side in the other, while the
passer through his front door can have a
foot in each state without the slightest
trouble.
A fence on the opposite side of the
road marks the boundary line. In the
field which it surrounds in one state are
numerous hen houses, large and COM
Portable for their inhabitants. Close to
the fence in the other state is row of
loosely built, untidy looking hen houses,
into which the protesting hens and
chickens are hurried when taxation day
comes around, the secret of the change
being that hens are taxed in one state
and not in the other.-Youth's Compan-
ion,

HODOKEN'S BANKS.
Plenty of Money for Regu-
lar Customers. but Con-
Seryative Toward
the City.

Some days ago the city Of Hoboken at
tempted to borrow some money from the
National Banks in that city, and as the
banks refused to discount the city's paper
1t went abroad that money was tight In
Hoboken. Two citizens came TO the
city's rescue and discounted its paper.
That money was scarce in Hoboken
was claimed by the officials of the two
banks whom interviewed this morning,
although they admitted that they
had refused to loan the
city any more money. They
said they wanted to accommodate their
regular patrons. who are more beneficial
10 them than the city, iuasmuch as the
banks pay the city three per cent interest
on all sums deposited over 1000. They
are therefore under no obligations to the
city.
President Syms. of the oldest bank in
the city, First National. said:-~Money is
easy with us. We are able to supply the
demands of all our regular customers
thus tar and have not been embarrassed
in the least"
.'How about the loan which the city
asked fori" continued
"Well" said he. I'VE refused to allow
them that, but as for our regular deposit
ors, they were all accommodated"
Cashier Scofield, of the Second National
Bank. was next seen. Mr.. Schofield
smiled when he learned my mission. Said
he, 1--WE have all the money we want
plain, and as for the city we have
already loaned it $3s. 500. The
city has come to us and asked us to take
up their paper. We asked them why not
90 to the First National, aud we have
learned that the First National Bank had
already refused it. Then we came to its
aid. 1t is only a short time ago that
we loaned the city SIC, 600 on the school
house fund, and then we have loaned
$500 to the Free Public Library. The
5000 which Mr.. Hexamer loaned the
city was a check on us. We have plenty

City Treasurer Smith. Mr.. Smith said:-
Our financial year runs from May 10

until January 10. We have not
borrowed any more mouey this year,
in fact we have borrowed less than pre-
vious years. That is, OF course, in pro-

the new school house, new fire house and
many street improvements. 1t has cost
the city S23. .000 to improve Park
avenue alone. As vet we have
not received one penny for the improve

Mr.. Timken and Mr.. Hexamer, who
Loaned us some money, are boasting

boast 1t was not their liberality
by any means that prompted
them to loan the city money. Council
man Timken, who is chairman OF the FL
nance Committee of the Council. came to
me and stated that his father would take
the city's paper, providing that he was
paid six per cent. for the money. The
city agreed TO the proposition and Mr..
Timken will received per cent interest on
his loan. which is more than he would
receive in any of the banks. 1t is the
