ROOTED TO THE SPOT.
A Cruel Practical Joke Played on a
Good Man who is Now
College President.

Brooklyn Life.
heard a story the other day about
the former assistant rector of one of
the largest Episcopal churches in the
city. The gentleman in question is
now the president of a college so far
away that he cannot mind if relate
the incident. He was a jolly good
fellow when he lived in boarding
house here, and in his of hours was
accustomed to join in with the other
good fellows of the house at a friendly
game of whist or a smoke.
One evening when he was out at
service, two of the ways Of the estab-
lishment remembered that it was his
invariable habit upon returning
home TO doff his roundabout vest and
clerical coat, put on an old smoking
Jacket and encase his feet in pair of
morocco slippers, which latter always
occupied the same position on his
bedroom floor preparatory to his
coming. Accordingly, they firmly
nailed these slippers to the floor, and
waited results in the next room.
Presently the dominic returned.
They heard him moving about; they
heard the thud of his shoes as they
were taken off and thrown down, and
then all was silence. They peeped
cautiously in, and there beheld the
young clergyman standing in his
slippers, his face white as sheet,
and look of horror upon it, his eyes
staring straight ahead. The sight
was too much for them, but they man
aged to suppress their laughter and
ask in tone of amazement what the
matter was.
Matter" he gasped, "there is mat.
ter enough, boys, I'm paralyzed, and
can't move hand or foot. For mercy's
sake, help me-"
The man did actually, such is the
force of Imagination, believe he was
paralyzed for moment or two, but he
finally set 'em up, in manner apprO-
pirate to his calling, by buying cigars
for the crowd.

The workmen engaged upon the end
of the st. Clair river tunnel between
Port Huron and Sarnla, Ont, shook
hands with each other this morning
under the st. Clair river, and made
the subterranean trainway ring with
cheers. This tunnel is possibly the
greatest piece of engineering in this
country. 1t is eleven feet longer than
the Brooklyn bridge, and the diff
Guilty of underground structure COM
pensates for the finer work necessary
on that structure. The tunnel will
not be in use for some months, as

A HOSPITAL FOR BIRDS.

Diseases Of Feathered Pets Cured

proprietor, who is an in teIligenf man.
He hadn't very many birds then, but
he said:
II shall have plenty directly, as
people will be leaving town; in
another month this place will be
full"
Mr.. Sumner takes in any number of
birds to nurse.
"a family who left town for eight
cen months left me their aquarium
and their aviary to take care Of, and
their bill came to sl6.n
"Do you visit houses?n
Eyes, l have been to four places

birds and the beaks and nails of

what do birds suffer from princi-
pally?"
Consumption and asthma-diseas-

placed In draughty windows Con-
sumption is helped on by the birds
being Unfortunately fed on all sorts
of things that are unsuitable as food.
Birds are very fond OF luXuries, and
the more you give them the more they
will eat. When bird is going off
into consumption it is always eating"
He pointed to one and said "He is in
consumption, and he will be like a
ball of down tomorrow-all pulled
out. Physic will sometimes arrest the
disease"
Mr.. Sumner showed me a corner
where he intended to have a model of
Middlesex Hospital built for his sick
birds.
