a Cute 1Ium.nlnr Elrd.

The family of John N. Isbell, at their
home on tho Madison shore, have discov-
cred a queer way to capture humming
birds alive. Recently u small humming
bird which had frequcnted the flowers
on the veranda was observed teaching
two of its young to sip honey from the
buds. The old bird, as we'll as the little
ones, was quite tame, but tho latter were
evidently unskilled in the art of extract
ing honey. Their efforts resulted in
running many of the tender flowers.
One of the ladies Oh the porch tossed
a cap at the young intruders, rs 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 a faint or trance. In this
condition she permitted herself to be
captured and inspected, but it was OBJ
served that II eye was always open to
take in the situation. Luckily for the
mother bird her captors soon released
her, placing her uninjured OIL the floor.
After waiting till all was quiet, the old
bird came to life and took wing to rejoin
her young, who wero still engaged in
their abortive assaults Oh tho flowers.
This story is vouched for by the mem
bers of the family.-Ncw Haven Pal

He Was a Father Himself.

He was an old man, bent and gray.
In spite of his unkempt appearance and
his poor faded clothes there was a GER
tain nobility in his face that could not
but attract the casual observer. He sat
in the anteroom Of tho police court, to-
gether with u score of other prisoners.
Upon his knees he held a little girl
whose uncared for appearance could not
hide her childish prettiness. She leaned
against his breast, and on her head there
fell now and then a great tear.
"What 90 cryin' for, popper?' the lit
tie girl would say when some of these
tears crept beyond her tumbled curls
and down her forehead. Even the sot-
fish crowd about them grew respectful.
The two We're so pathetic.
Finally the mans name was called and
he appeared before the judge. He stated
his case. Tho charge was some minor
offense. Just then the little girl, who
had begun to realize that her father was
in some danger, crept near. The judge
caught sightof her. The child crept up,
in spite of the gaze fixed on her from the
bench, and chung to her fathers hand.
els that your child?' asked tho Judge.
"It is, your honor: my motherless
child"
The sternness died out of the eyes of
the judge and a moist tenderness took
its place. He was Il father himself. He
raised his handkerchief without shame
to wipe away the gathering dimness.

Donald is q little boy who finds great
delight in the society of his pets. Kit
tens are his treasures, and even a furry
and weather beaten donkey inspired in
him such al affection that he cried for a
whole day when his father refused to
buy the littlo beast of burden. Like
most people, however, Donald draws a
line between what is worthy his admira-
ton and the coin which is spurious.
One day III old lady from u neighbor-
ing town camo to dinner, and made her
self very agreeable to the little boy. At
first no seemed to take a great fancy to
her, but, as his mother noticed, treated
the guests invitation to visit her with

ma that night when Donald was in his
cot.

reply.

Unwilling Srovcrs.

1t Is u well known fact that many peo-
pie find the last day of April the most
convenient time for moving to their
summer homes at tho seashore or in the
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 Il man in New England who
has learned to reduce his taxes to the
lowest possible figure, even at considera-
BILE Inconvenience to himself.
He owrsa farrn, whichis only remark
able from the fact that it is iii two states,
instead of one. 10 make tho most of
this peculiar advantage he has built his
house with its south side in one state
and its north side in tho other, while the
passer through his front door can have u
foot i'll 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, largo and com
Portable for their inhabitants. Close to
the fence i'll the other state is u 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 i'll the other.-Youth's Compan-

Business Mems Writing Desks.

Every man knows how dear to h;s
heart is that pet determination of women
the desk litter. Every mai protests if it
be disturbed, and declares with en-
phasis that he always find what he
is looking for if his desk or table be let
alone, while the sight of it to women
creates an intense desire to clear it up.
The desks of some men are curiosities in
this regard, and there is probably none
in town to compare with that of Francis
B. Thurber.
The double desk used by II. X. Thur
Der and his brother dates back nearly
fifty years. 1t stands on four turned
legs, has a sloping writing board and
two small cases of pigeon holes, one at
each side. T. B. Thurber's share of it is
piled with papers clear across the por-
ton on which tho owner is supposed to
write.
AS q result that owner writes on u pad
placed on his knees, and it is excessively
funny to sec him rise slightly in his
chair in order that be may reach over
the barricade he has erected and dip his
pen into the ink. Mr.. Thur.ur must
have Il marvellous memory to be able to
find anything in the pile before him.

A House in IL Bottle.

Some years ago a blind boy residingin
Chicago constructed q miniature house
inside an ordinary four ounce medicine
bottle. The building was made up Of
forty pieces of wood,all neatly fitted
and glued together. 1t would have
puzzled a man with two goodeyes to put
the pieces in tho bottle without the task
of putting them together. AS wonder
full rs the above may seem it is only a
part of the remarkable achievements of
this sightless lad.
After completing the house to his,satis-
faction no set about fastening the cork
in tho bottle, but how he accomplished
the startling feat has ever remained a
mystery. Inside the bottle below the
neck a small wooden peg was driven
through the cork, which extended far
enough on each side of the stopper to
prevent it being removed from the bot
tie. The boy is unable to explain the
astonishing piece of ingeniousness.-St.

Significance in Mourning co,o,s,

In some portions of t:,c world yellow
and red are the mourning colors; the
Orientals generally adopt blue and white,
the Persians wearing a deep indigo, and
the Chinese u somewhat dingy, yellow
ish white. Pure white was at one time
worn by royal widows in France, but it
afterward fell into disuse. Purple is
the mourning color relegated to the
church. Just at what period black be-
came the fashionable insignia of woe it
is difficult to determine, but for several
centuries past it has been generally ac-
cepted as such by civilized nations all
owe the globe.
Among Christians it would appear a
somewhat dubious tribute from the living
tothe dead, as black is suggestive of chaos
and humiliation, while the white and
blue of pagan lands signify light, hope
and the promise Of an existence beyond
the gravc.-Jenness- Miller Magazine.

For the personal damages to passengers
on the West Jersey railroad at Mays
Landing the company paid out $s1, 900,
and got off very luckily, as there were
nineteen deaths and twice as many in
juries. Such terrible accidents as that
at New Hamburg, on the New York Cen
trail, or at Ashtabula, on the Lake Shore
road, cost a company a fortune and Sc
riously impair dividends. Generally the
companies are glad to settle in such
cases, and are able to secure favorable
terms on condition of prompt payment,
especially in cases where claimants are
poor and DESTROYS of avoiding protracted
litigation. But where claimants insist
on enormous claims the litigation is both
costly and protracted, and is seldom sat
isfactory to either party.-Interview in

Some Very Remarkable Natural Curiosi-
ties That Are Worth Seeing.
Coroa, like the world of the ancient,
has its 'seven wonders" Briefly stated
they are as follows:
First-A hot mineral spring lear Kin

are believed to be miraculous. No mat

a dip in the water proves eficacious.
Second-Two springs situated at a
considerable distance from each other;
i'll fact, they have the breadth of the en-
tire peninsula between them. They
have two peculiarities. When one is
full the other is always empty; and not
withstanding the obvious fact that they
are connected by subterranean passage
one is of the bitterest bitter, and the
other pure and sweet.
Third-The third wonder is Cold Wind

wind rerpctually blows. The force of
the wind from the cave is such that a
strong man canno stand before it.
Fourth-A forest that cannot he eradi-

pines, they will sprout up again directly
like the phcnix from her ashes.
Fifth-The fifth is the most wonderful
Of the seven natural curiosities of the

stone" 1t stands, or seems to stand, in
front of the palace erected in its honor.
It is an irregular cube of great bulk. 1t
appears to be resting on the ground, free
from supports on all sides, but, strange
to say, two men at opposite ends of a
rope may pass it under the stone without
encountering any obstacle whatever!
Tho sixth wonder is the "hot stone,"
which from remote ages has laid glow
ing with heat on top of n high hill.
The seventh and last Corean wonder is
a drop of the sweat of Buddha. For

which 1t is enshrined not q blade of grass

Exnected shakesneare.

George Moore, the English disciple Of
lola, once had a play at the Odeon, in
Paris, and at the Same time an adapta-
ton Of "Othello' was being rehearsed at
tho theatre. He called one morning
and asked to see the manager. "What
name shall 1 give, monsieur" demanded
the concierge. Tell M. Porell that the
English author whose play he has &C.
copied desires to see him." The con-
cierge went toward the managers room.
''There is a gentleman in the hall who
tells me he is the English author whose
play has just been accepted" he said to
the official. "Quite right" answered
the latter, "send him in. Monsieur

were uncompromising supporters of their

The Swallows Are Wrong.

The British glowworm is steadily de-
creasing in numbers, and ~entomologists
fear that 1t will become extinct as well
as extinguished. This is due to the reck-
less system of nest lighting practiced by
swallows. These ingenious birds fasten
glowworms to the sides of their nests,
but inasmuch as the glowworm resents
this liberty by an early death it takes

A Berth in Heaven for s.,a-

of letters to MI. Cruise from cranks of all
sorts. He remembers one of them par
ticularly. It was from q minister In
Washington. He announced that he had
by some unknown means secured q good
berth in heaven, the value Of which was
beyond estimate.
1t was a ''sure thing" and the minis

Its existence. He had heard Of Mr..
CIuse's sudden rise to wealth, and
thought an opportunity was offered for
a fair exchange. He was not entirely
willing to relinquish his claim on the
future snap, but he offered to give half
the berth if MI. Cruise would in return

Cruse decided that MS matters looked
