A Missing Judge.

In spite OF the most persistent
search on the part of the friends, not
single clew has yet been found rs to
the whereabouts of the venerable
Judge Mari, of New Orleans, La. The
last information of him was on the
evening OF the 10Th, when he was seen
walking along the river bank in the
vicinity OF Carrollton. There are
none now who believe that the Judge
is alive. If he sought shelter at any
OF the cottages near Carrollton some
information as to his whereabouts
would have come long since to
relieve the anxiety OF his neart. brok.
en- family. 1t was believed by many
that Judge Mari had wandered away
Intentionally in the hope OF escaping
the opportunities for the reprieve OF
Murderer Deschamps, and proposed
remaining in hiding until alter the ex.
ecution or until the day set for it had
passed. Now the jurist has still failed
to materialize, all hope of his return
has been abandoned by those who
chung to the belief tnat he was still
alive. The family and friends OF Judge
Mari are sparing no pains or expense
to discover something about him that
will tend to relieve their terrible
anxiety. Perhaps the muddy waters
OF the Mississippi will give up their
secret in q few days and clear away
the mystery.

Age OF Birds.

According to a foreign scientific
Journal the swan is the longest lived
bird. in extreme cases reaching 800
years. The falcon has been known to
live 1862 years. An eagle died in 1919
which had been caught 104 years be-
fore end was then quite old. A white.
headed vulture, which was caught in
1906 died in the aviary at Schonbrun,
near Vienna in 1924. Parrots live
moro than q century. Water birdl
have q long life, exceeding that .of
several generations of men. Ravens
also live over 100 years. In captivity
magpies live from twenty to twenty.
five years, and still longer IN Freedom.
The common hen attains the age OF
from fifteen to twenty years Doves
live ten years and the little singing
birds from eight to seventeen years
The nightingale's life is the shortest
ten years being the longest and next
comes the blackbird. which never
lives longer than fifteen years

and several OF them published pamph-

points to be noticed IN connection with
such reports One is the invariable
admission that there was light or fire

stances always happened in families
composed Of ignorant persons and
another that in no case was there
any actual witness OF the occurrence.
Something like IS per cent OF the
human body consists of water; this
fact in itself is sufficient to discredit
any Of the alleged instances of spon-
taneous combustion. 1t is Just con-
ceivable that persons who drink an
enormous amount Of spirituous liquors
may become so saturated. as it were,
with this inflammable material that
their bodies burn much more easily
than would those OF people who do
not over-indulge in this way. but it IL

thieves operating between the Indian
reservations and the Northern Ne.
braska towns. It Is asserted that
they have stolen and shipped hun.

HUNTING THE ELnEpR,cHElA,

Birds with Club.
Harmon Iostcr, n young man not
long in this country. rclates the New
York Sun. was Boosting one winter
afternoon at Reading OF his trapping
OF birds in tho Hartz mountains Ger
many. and how he had caught many
sleeping birds in the night with his
hands
That's nothing" said one. .You
ought to soc us catch clbedrichela in
America
Lostcr was eager 10 know.
'All right" said the man. The
birds prefer cold nights up on the
mountains and rs we're going to hunt
for them tonight you Gun go along"
Tho starting point was named and
all arrangements were made. 1t had
been one OF the coldost days of the
winter and ut nightfall the mercury
touched zero. The party met l.oster
at the appointed time and place, and
all hands five III number armed with
clubs. proceeded to Mount Penn. over
looking the city.
Where are your guns?" asked
Lostcr
I'VE don't shoot the elbedrichela
but we chase them up with clubs and
catch them in bag. was the reply.
When the party reached McKnights
gap an arctic blast whistled through
the bare boughs and in the moonlight
the swaying branches cast fantastic
shadows over the snow on the noun
tain side. AT II very lonely spot
Los,cr received Il club and the entire
party scattered and began beat
ing the bushes and shouting "Shoom

standing the extremely cold weather
those in the secret extremely enjoyed
Losters zeal in the hunt
The idea was. Loster was told to
drive this elbedrichela from their hid
ing places up into the ravine Fre-
quently the practical jokers would
shout: There goes one. Loster:
did you see it?" Los,er imagined he
did several times and replied. 'Yes."
as he kept beating the bushes with his
, club.
After half hours chase the party
had reached the head of the ravine.
Now. Loster. you hold the bag
open. said one of the party. Hold
the mouth OF the bag we'll open close
to the ground Well go down this
side OF the ravinc and drive up the
birds on the other side. But be care
ful and hold the bag lower or the
birds will run under you"
Loster shiveringly took the bag and
held it open and close to the ground.
whilo his companions, shivering with
cold and nearly choking with laugh
ter left him and continued beating the
bushes and shouting '.shoo"'
For ten minutes Loster heard tho
voices OF his companions growing
fainter and frequently he felt the bag
TO see whether any birds mad entered.
Finally the voices were silent and
Lostcr thought the hunters were be-
hind hill. He shivered and shook,
but still kept holding down the open
bag. For over an hour he Loyalty re-
mained at his post but finally not
! wishing to freeze to death. he resolved
TO quit. and tottered down the noun
tain with the empty bag on his shout.

dawned upon his mind that he had
been made the victim OF very cold
practical .oke. When he reached a
hotel on the outskirts OF the town he
warmed himself and took thoughtful
drink alone.
