Three tiers OF brilliantly colored lit.

sights often saw in the bird-market
in Paris. To tighten his burden, the
owner OF these pretty songsters had
placed a great many of them in one
cage. The cage had but single
perch-a long one, to be sure, yet at
best it could hold only one third of the
birds AS you may suppose, all places

Alighting on the seated ones, they
would wedge their tiny feet between
two of them in an attempt to reach the
perch; and sometimes they succeeded;
but more often second tier of birds

tumbling down. Then there would be
"A great commotion and perfect medley
of color. as the birds rushed again, pcll-

quiet would be restored, and the two
tiers of birds again successfully com
pleted-
But there were still others flying
about or hopping around on the bottom
of the cage. who also expected to get
resting-places. To perch on top of the
second tier was indeed a very pretty and
very difficult performance, as there
was considera BILE wobbling in the lower
tiers. even at the lightest touch of a
lowering bird. Finally, with dainty
wings and feet outstretched in slow de-
scent, a bright little acrobat would
start the third tier. But alas! the next
bird might prove a careless little fellow,
and would upset them ALI
However in spite of accidents and
carelessness, the third tier was often
finished and sometimes it lasted even
several minutes before 1t was demol-
ished But when the pyramid was com
pleted usually some hungry little chap
in the first story spying dainty morsel

and confusion of the crowd.

woRKMEN BADLY CRUSHED.

A Cave-In ut Benedict d BurnhAm'S
Almost Results Fatally.
An accident that came near resulting
fatally occurred at Benedict & Burn
hams factory last evening. For some
time wOrkmen have been engaged re-
moving the old foundations that sup
ported the rolls In order to make re
nairs, caused by the caving in Of the
floor. several weeks ago. Men have
also been at work in the pit where the
old water wheel used to be, making q
new foundation for the roll and en-.
CINE room. Just before 6 o'clock az the
men were getting ready to fire a blast,
the wall was seen to tOtter. Several
men were on top of the foundation and
several were in the pit, some Ave feet
below. The men below heard the cry of
their fellow workmen on the surface
and scrambled out not a moment too
soon. Those on top, with the exception
OF two, jumped in time, but those two
fell with the wall. AS soon as the de-
bris was cleared away it was found that
both men were pinned down by the
rocks, but willing hands soon set to
work and released them. The men
were badly injured and were at once
removed to DIR Benedict's office. By a
singular coincidence both of the men
are named James Farrell, one a man of
go years, lives on South Main street; the
other, 45 years old, lives on Vine street.
Both men were injured badly about the
head and body, but no bones were bro
ken. They were removed to their
homes. That they escaped a terrible
death ia regarded as almost a miracle.
The cause of the accident was the under
mining of the wall.
