park, near Mamsbury, Eng, is glass
case containing the skin and features of
big crow. The creature had been
caught and nailed to tree with other
vcrmin fate which SO many thousands
of crows share yearly that there is
nothing odd in it. The extraordinary
part of the matter is that in the shelter
OF his wings, where his body was be-
fore it decayed, Il little wren had built
itself an exceedingly little nest.
With wonderful dextcrity the tiny bird
had contrived to fastcn together the
wings of his dead enemy, whose body
he proposed to utilize. The entrance
to the nest was where the crows breast
had been, and here the family of little
wrens was reared. The nest was OBJ
served, and when it's occupants had

Some OF the Cautiously Absurd Uses to
Which 1t Is Applied.
Hon. Alexander Hood, who manages
Lord Bridport's duchy of Brontc estate
in Sicily, contributes much interesting
information in the last British consular
report on that island concerning the
curious effects of red tape in Italy,
says the London Times. The cultiva-
ton of the tobacco plant was once q
sufficiently important item of Sicilian
production, but owing to the vcxatious
interference of the authorities that in
dustry has been killed rs regards ordi-
nary cultivation.
Tenant farmers suffer much from
arbitrary proceedings of tax collectors.
No matter how bad the season or how
much his debt may be to his landlord a
farmcr is mulctcd in considerable
sum of income taxa tax which is, pre-
sumably, one on prosperity and profit.
Protest is as useless as redress is rare.
The system of allowing Il participation
in the fines imposed prcdisposcs the
lower class of officials to injustice and
harshness. The red tapcism of the Ital-
