A Qneer Anec,iote of Corot.

In 1917 Corot received the cross of
the Legion of Honor and in 1867 he
was created an officer of the same
order. His father never believed in
his sons talent and his incredulity is
aptlv illustrated by an anecdote re-
lated by Camille Thurwanger in the
NeeU England Mdgazia1e, as told him
by Corot in regard to this same decora-
ton:
"When he received the cross for the
first time he carried it at once to his
mother, who resolved to have family
dinner to celebrate the occasion, but
to keep the matter secret and turn it
into a surprise for her husband. For
that purpose she placed the cross in
his napkin. She expected great aston
ishment and demand for an explana-
ton, but it resulted differently. When
the elder Corot, on opening his nap
kin, discovered the cross, his face ex-
pressed at first establishment. but i'm
mediately afterward he said:
L don't know for what can be
decorated. 1t must be for my services
in the national guard.
"He did not for moment think it
possible it was intended for his son and
he appropriated it to himself without
further ado. When his wife explained
his error to him he simply returned
the cross and began to converse on
other subjects with a Disconnected ex-
preston, and the dinner dragged"

record OF mirpriEtS and hlu4;irrs in
many editions of that book proves con-
clusively that those who handle it are
far from being inrrrant. About the
year - Pep" SiNtuS Y. put forth an
edition Of the Nuirat" the proofs of
which he himself carefully corrected.
He was SO sure nat il was all right
that he appended bull to it excom-
mnnlcating anyone who should make
an alteration in the text. Neverthe-
less the volume was SO full of mistakes
that the edition had TO be suppressed.
Copies of this edition are now very
rare, and fetch a high price.
There have been some remarkable
misprints in editions of the English
bible. In the edition of 1854 the pass
age in the twelfth Psalm, The fool
hath said in his heart, there is no
GOD" appeared without the word mo-"
and, of course, the edition was prompt

of 1858 the words worldly riches" ap-
pear instead of "godly riches" The
edition of Field printer to the Uni
versity of Cambridge, in the sGven-
teenth century. has many misprints.
1t is said that he received 81 800 from
the Independents to print Eve" for

chapter of Acts, in order to support
the theory that the people, and not the
apostles, choose their pastors, so that
the passaga read: "Wherefore, breth-

ton, the passage in ]. Corinthians, vi,
9, is made to read: Know We not
that the unrightcous shall inherit the
kingdom of God?" In 1917 the Clar-
endon press issued the famous Vine

A curious misprint was the omission
of the word mot" in printing the sew

in the edition published in the reign
of Charles l., the printers being sum
moned before the high commission
and fined $4,000. The same omission
occurred in the thirty-fourth edition
printed at Halle, copies of which are
extremely rare. Perhaps the most re-
markable intended misprint occurred
in an edition of the bible published by
a German widow. Her late husband
was apparently worthless and disa-
greeable fellow, and as she reflected
on his many faults she grew indignant
at the passage in Genesis where God
declared to Eve that woman should
be subject to man. So she arose one
night when the workmen were absent,
and, going to the printing room, pro-
ceeded to reverse the situation in that
passage by taking out the first two
letters of the word "herr" and replac-

the passage read: "And he shall be
thy (narr) fool" instead of "He shall
be thy (herr) lord" OF course the sub
stitution was soon discovered, and the
hapless widow was burned at the stake
by the authorities, VINO, being men,
could not ignore this insult to their
sacred and superior persons.

/ recent French writer on The
Revolution, the Empire and the Restor-
ation," cites an amusing instance oi
what he calls heroic courtesy.
Percy, Lord Beverly, invited to dine
with him Il marquis who was one of
the most valiant soldiers of the army
ot Condo. Wishing to honor his guest
and the cause which he served, that of
the French king, the English peer
ordered his butler to bring him bottle
OF tine wine 1OJ years old, "a ray of
sunshine in crystal"
He opened it CAREFUL and offered q
glass to the marquis, saying: eff you
deem it worthy the honor, will You
drink in this wine the health of the
king?"
The marquis tasted the wine.
"HoW do you like it?" asked the host.
''ENquisitc," replied the marquis.
Then" said Lord Beverly, Finish
the glass; only in full glass can one
drink the health of so great and SO un-
fortunate king"
Without hesitation the marquis did
as he was hidden. Only when the
Engiishman tasted the wine did he
learn that what he had forced on his
guest was castor oil; and henceforth
he held the politeness of the French
toward the English in the highest
esteem.

hYPNOTlSM BY ANIMALS.
Otherwise How Could Bird be Charmed
by Cat?

The power attributed to the snake
and feline families of charming" their
victims seems to me past dispute, So" )
a writer in Science. 1t is not merely a
sort of hypnotism. Livingstone tells
us that when at one time seized by a
tiger he felt neither terror nor pain;
all his senses seemed to be benumbed.
Bates, in his Naturalist on the ANA
zon," states that one day in the woods
small pet dog flew at a large rattle
snake. The snake fixed its eye on the
dog, erected its tail, and shook its rat
tie; it seemed in no haste to seize the
dog, but as if waiting to put the dog
into more suitable condition for be-
ing seized. AS to the dog, it neither
continued the attack nor retreated,
could not or would not move when
called, and was with ditfiulty dragged
away by its master.
| have seen one case of a snake
charming bird, bat | had a better
opportunity to study cat charming a
bird, and probably the process is much
alike in both. The cat placed itself
on the outside sill of my window, near
to pine tree. A bird presently lit on
the pine tree, no doubt not observing
the cat. The cat fixed its attention on
the bird. The cats eyes were widely
opened and shone with a peculiar
brightness; its head was raised and
intent, the fur on its neck and about
its face slowly stood up, as if electri-
fed. Except for this rising of the fur
and certain intensity of life in the
whole attitude of the beast it was as
still as if cut from stone, The bird
quivered, trembled, looked fixedly at
the cat, and finally, with feeble
shake of the wings, fell toward the cat,
which bounded to seize it.
A lady tells me that she "does not
believe that cats can charm birds, be-
cause she has seen q cat try to charm
parrot, and the bird, greatly alarmed,
scolded loudly" This proves nothing;
parrots III general, or, more probably,
that particular parrot did not prove a
good subject for the mesmeric power.

Birds in Tiers.
grow

Three tiers of brilliantly colored lit
tie birds was one of the many pretty
sights | often saw in the bird-market
in Paris. To Tighten his burden, the
owner of these pretty songsters had
placed great many of them into one
large cage. The cage had but sim
Gle 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 on this perch were always in
great demand, and usually its whole
length was fully occupied by the tiny
warblers. crowded together in Jolly
companionship. Flying about the
cage in all directions were those not
fortunate enough to secure seats. :"
and their antics in endeayoring to find
a resting-place were very pretty and
clever. Alighting on the seated ones,
they would wedge their tiny feet be-
tween two of them in an attempt to
reach the perch: and sometimes they
succeeded but more often a second
tier of birds was started by the new
corners coolly getting upon the backs
of the first. A sli ght disturbance of
the center of gravity, however, and
there would be great commotion and a
perfect medley of color. as The birds
rushed again, pell-mell, for the COW
eted places. Presently quiet would be
restored, and the two tiers of birds
again successfully completed.
But there were still others flying
about, or hopping around on the bot
tom 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 perform
ance, as there was considerable wob-
bling in the lower tiers, even at the
ightest touch of lowering bird.
Finally, with dainty wings and feet
outstretched in slow descent, bright
little acrobat would start the third
tier. But alas! the next bird might
prove careless little fellow, and would
upset them all.
However, in spite of accidents and
carelessness, the third tier was often
finished. and sometimes it lasted even
several minutes before it was demol-
ished. But when the pyramid was
completed, usually some hungry little
chap in the first story, spying dainty
morsel lying on the bottom of the
cage, would withdraw his support, to
the disaster and confusion of the
crowd.
Thus it went on. all day long-in-
cessant change of place and form and
color. Happily through it all the lit
tie acrobats were as merry as birds
could be, pouring out their liquid
music into the golden sunshine. low
ously twisting and shaking their
bright little heads. The grand music
of old Notre Dame Cathedral. close by,
was not more charming than that of
this pretty feathery choir singing un-

Cyclone in.Chicago.

CHICAGO, June Ii. The city was visit
ed this afternoon by one of the most severe
storms In years. 1t lasted only a short
time but at midnight two persons are
known to have been killed and FIVE or six
fatally injured-the latter working meu
and many painfully hurt 1t is also
feared that three men, seen on the lake in
a row boat before tie storm, were lost.
Much damage was done to property.
The wigwam on the lake front in which
he democratic national convention Is to

Amour's ID" elevator at Morgan street
and the river, was struck by lightning
and completely wrecked. Charles J. Rob

was buried beneath the bricks and tin. bers
ana the body was not recovered until late
this evening.
More additional casualties are being
reported to the police Several at work
building on new buildings were badly
hurt BY being blown from the scaffoldi ne
or struck by flying debris.
The life saving station reports that three
men were in row boat at some distance
from the shore before the storm burst,
must have been lost as after it passed nc
sign of them could be seen in any direc-
ton.
About 3 o'clock this afternoon heavy
clouds began to gather, and few minutes
later tornado swept across the city from
the northwest, accompanied by terrific
thunder and lightning and torrents OF
rain and hail. On the west side trees
were broken down, awnings torn off and
windows shattered.
The brick cottage at 1886 Whipple
street was demolished. Two-year-o old
Emma klima was instantly killed, an
her mother and another child was badly
