A sturdy little German had stood in
linefor an hour without making, it
seemed, much progress toward the
ticket-office, and which was the goal
OF his ambition. The place was I'M
comfortably warm, and at last he
steppedlout of the line-having first
bestowed searching glances on the
men directly in front of and behind
bin, to fix their faces in his memory.
He was gone about twenty minutes,
and returne d looking much refreshed
by his outing. He was evidently graft
flied to see what progress had been
made during his absence, and with O.
beaming smile approached his old
place in the line.
The guardian of the peace stopped
him.

Why do They Migrate? Perhaps the

It is easy to understand why birds
which prey on fresh water fish and on
frogs should seek other quarters when
the ponds are frozen and the
frogs are buried in clay. But it is not
quite SO clear why the swallow AID

abundance to risk IL long journey
over sea and land only to find q great
scarcity OF the same kind of food.
And it is equally puzzling that the
seed and fruit eaters, who since
October have been fattening among
the gardens of Algeria and Egypt,
should suddenly, in March or April,
be seized with such an ipordinate
craving for change of diet as to fly
5000 miles on the chance of picking
up the short commons of IN English
spring. Perhaps it will be found that
migration is natural to all birds, and
is greater or less as the weather may
determine. Even our residents move
up and down the country at different
periods of the year, living in the low
lands in the winter and in the uplands
in the summer, and it is well known
that all winter there is continual
drifting OF the birds, from the continent
to our islands, according to the
weather.

Kicked the Coffin Lid Off When All
| Was Ready for the Burial.
Thomas Kelly, a colored man dis
appointed a large audience in Chester,
Pa, the other day by refusing to be
buried when the audience was ready
to bury him. He had been picked up
for dead on wharf the night before
and had been tenderly removed to the
coroner's Office to await an inquest
and funeral. When the undertaken
came around the next day he had
the corpse put in an ice box, while he
went for hearse and some mourners,
and the preparations for sepulture
were nearly complete when Mr.. Kelly
kicked the lid from the box, got up
and asked for his overcoat. Instead
of giving the corpse it's overcoat, the
Brooklyn Eagle says, the coroner and
other officials took to their heels, not
that they were averse to granting the
dead mans request, but that it was
not in the usual order OF things for
dead men to make requests.
Presently Mr.. Kelly climbed out of
the box and in plaintive language,
punctuated with hiccoughs, went
about town complaining OF the in
dignities to which he had been sub
iected and also of headache. At last
accounts he was still wandering
around Chester terrifying people by
these remarks and creating strong
sentiment in favor OF his recapture
and burial. A pretty state OF things
Mr.. Kelly is trying to establish! If
he has O. spark OF consideration for
the feelings of his fellows and the fees
OF the coroners he will 60 back to the
undertaken and ask him to finish the
work that he had begun. His refusal
to be put into his coffin is direct re-

BILE depredations upon his cornfieIds
that Frederick Hormon, living near

measures. He fitted up a scarecrow

ed strong clock to which he con-
nected the triggers OF the pistols. He

revolvers. AS the crows are worse at
day break, and as they are fearful OF
the smell OF burnt powder, Mr.. Hor-
mon arranged the pistols to be dis
charged at ten-minute intervals in the
morning. The experiment worked
like charm, for although none of the
crows was hit by the bullets fired from
the scarecrow, the shooting scared
them SO badly that they always, after
two or three mornings, flew around
Mr.. Hormon's cornfeld by circuit
