The duchess of Buclzinghsr-, in her
ssGlimpses of Four Continents . tells an
amusing Maori story belonging to the
period when these natives were at war
with England. All sorts of tricks
went on, such as are not only fair but
commendable in war. When the Maoris
were in want of bullets they used to
show dummy in the bush; of course,
it was Immediately fred at. A man in
the background pulled it down by a
string. ''Ohl' thought the British sol
diers, we've done for him. Up came
the dummy again, cautiously; bangi
bangl went the British rifles. Down
fell dummy, and this went on till some
worse marksman than usual cut the
dummy's rope. No Maori would go up
the tree to splice it, for that exposure
meant certain death. The bullets were
all taken out of little earth bank
which the Maoris had made behind the
tree where the dummy appeared, and
were used over again. It was long
RS ~ ~ z-r5 discovered.

EWlNo MOVEMENTS OF BIRDS.

Well Marked Characteristies of Those
with Sustained Power of Flight.
All birosof great and sustained pow
ers of flight have one well marked
characteristic-they have long wings,
with sharply pointed ends. And the
general truth of this will be at once ad-
mitted if the rule be applied to species
celebrated for rapid flight. Another
point is worthy of notice. The appar-
ent speed of flight to an unpracticed
eye is most deceptive. A heron, as it
rises and flaps 1anguidly along the
course of a brook, appears not only to
progress slowly, but to use its wings in
like manner. And yet the duke of
Argyll has pointed out, and every one
may verify the statement by his watch,
that the heron flaps its wings at a rate
of not less than from one hundred and
twenty to one hundred and fifty times
ia minute. This is counting. only the
downward strokes, so that the bird
really makes from two hundred and
forty to three hundred separate move
ments alninute.
-, Our short-winged game birds fly with
incredible velocity, and any attempt to
observe or count their wing movements
leeyes bnt a blurred impression upon

the above qualities of flight, the case

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism OF neuralgia quoted.
The severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
so be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation sets
i'm, which insures cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate treatment before the parts be-
come swollen; which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be-
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice day
for week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest re-
lIeved without paying doctor bill. Pro-
cure a so cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

DONE WITH SLOT MACHINES.
What a Stranger Got for a Penny at an
Elevated Road Station.

What a Stranger Got for Penny at an
Elevated Road Station.
At the Congress street elevated sta
tion at evening during a rush a man,
evidently stranger, came along and
halted in front of the machine which
offers a stick of gum for one penny
showed into the slot. This man, says a
Chicago paper, carried an overcoat, a
large valise and an umbrella. He evi-
IDENTIFY figured out in his mind that it
would be good idea to take some gum
home with him. So he took out a pen
ny, but held it for moment as if 1oath
to part with it. He knew that the
penny was good, it was backed by a
good government, but he appeared to
be doubtful as to the quality of the
gum.
The throng of people jostled him and
the train gong was sounded. Carefully
he selected a slot, and still more care
fully did he insert the coin into the
small opening. 1t went about three
fourths of the way in and stuck. He
grabbed hold of the machine and shook
it. The penny remained stuck fast.
He put down his luggage, his coat and
umbrella, took out a new knife, opened
a hawk blade and with it strove to re-
cover his money.
The people ran against him, swore at
him, almost knocked him down. He
broke the blade of his knife, and just
then man hurrying to catch train
stumbled over the valise, got his foot
hung in the armhole of the overcoat,
plunged forward, kicked the valise
open and smashed a bottle of horse
iniment.
The man dropped his knife and ran
after his valise, and when he gathered
up the fragments of his baggage and
his torn coat he returned to the slot
machine to find that some one had
stolen his knife. But he didn't swear.
He simply said: ''And they call this

Those Who Are Able to Pay Well for
What They Steal
''What do you do with lleptoma-
niacs?n was the question recently put
to the proprietor of large shop.
ssWe send them bills for what they
take when we know them. If they are
strangers, we act according to circum-
stances. A few days ago a lady was in
the shop with her daughter beauti-
full little girl of twelve years. The
girl was seen slipping roll of costly
ribbon into her satehel. We. spoke to
the mother, who became indignant.
She opened the satchel to convince. us
that we were mistaken, when it was
found to contain three lace handker-
chiefs, two pairs of gloves, and the rib
bon. All these articles had been APP
propriated. y
''That was plain case of stealing.
What did you do?"
''Well, we look the things back and
said nothing. We can't afford to ar
rest wealthy people and injure our
trade by making enemies among our
rich cusomers.' -

bills for stolen goods; are they ever

which kept regular list of kleptoma-

they sent bills to all of them. As they
all settled for the stolen goods, you
can imagine that the business was a
profitable one, can't you?"

CASE OF GRAB.
Another Move of Consolidated
Against New England.

The stockholders of the New York a.
New England railroad, many of whom re-
side in this city, are very indignant at the
effort of the mouth pieces
OF the Consolidated 10 throw
their interests into the hands
OF the rival company. In the issue this
morning the city was advised TO lose no
time in getting the New England road
OFF the present location, which IS
a part of the west approach to be decided
TO the Consolidated, as quickly as possible
in order to prevent the possibilities OF
vexatious delays.
When Receiver Perry was seen this
morning he said that this was probably
nothing more that another step on the
part of the Consolidated to get control of
the New England road. By influencing
public opinion the road hoped to
be able to obtain the passage of
the necessary resolution requesting
the removal OF the New England
realizing that in its present financial con-
dition il would become burden that
would be almost too heavy for them to
carry.
There was no reason why the road
should be requested to move before the
necessary time. The Consolidated had
full right to use the property and 1t would
be fully two years before the progress
of the Improvement made the removal
necessary. According 10 the agreement
held by the New England
Company the road was to
receive twelve months notice OF removal
but if that notice was given at the present
time it might tend to keep possible
foreign capital away from the
road. IL was not likely, however,
that the Council would become
a party TO any such scheme, although
it was quite possible that some such re-
solution might beintroduced after public
opinion had been properly moulded by
the organ of the Consolidated.
