AT SEA In A TREE
Sailors Rescue a Boy from Death
in Double Form.
For Three Days and Nights the Poor Lit
lie Fellow Floated Around With
out Having Anything to
Eat or Drink.

Twas one of the crew of an English
ship bound from Georgetown in British
Guiana, TO Rio Janeiro, down on the
east coast of Brazil, says a writer in
the Free Press When we were off the
mouth of the Parana river on the north
coast, 1t fell calm. We were about
twenty miles off the coast. and as night
game On the sea was as quiet as mill
pond and there wasn't air enough STIR
ring to fare a candle. About nine
o'clock fog began to rise, and within
a quarter of an hour 1t was so thick
that one could not see a man on deck
ten fest away. 1t was just after ten
O'Clock, and the ship was very quiet,
when we suddenly heard the voice of
human being coming out of the fog. It
was not the voice of a man, as all real
lied at once, but that OF a woman, or
of a boy or girl 1t had called out
three or four times before the mate
who had charge OF the deck at the
time, inferred a ''hello.' in answer.
Nothing is more deceptive than
sounds ina fog. This call seemed to
some from three or four different d.
rections, according to where the nearer
stood. We were disputing as to the
exact direction when the voice hailed
again and at the same time some OBJ
ject struck the ship on her port quar-
ter. IL was large tree, rs we instant
" found ont, and its branches raked
along the rail and side as it passed
astern of US. Seated in the tree
top, as half dozen Of us plainly made
out, was young native boy, who held
out his hands to US and cried out to-
be rescued. 1t all passed in thirty
seconds, and he was again lost TO sight
IN the fog. The mate shouted to the
boy to hold on and we would lower
boat for him. but the captain came on
deck and refused to take the risks until
the fog should thin out Had boat
been lowered and pulled a cables
length away it might have taken the
men hours to find the ship again.
The boy kept calling and calling for
an hour or more, while some of us an
swered him to keep up his courage. BY
and by he had drifted SO far away that
we could no longer hear him and then
we fred ,musket three our four times.
The fog did not lift until the sun came

HABITS OF THE WOODCoCK.
Some English Methods of Capturing tn,
Shy Birds.

Every sportsman knows that wood
cocks are here to-day, gone tomorrow.
He often finds that where there were
plenty yesterday not a single cock re-
mains. Upon one occasion the earl OF
Clermont shot fifty brace in one day.
This feat was the result of wager,
and the bag was made by two o'clock
in the afternoon with a single-bsrreled
fintlock. The birds were shot in a
moist wood, and it is in such spots on
the mild west coast that the woodcock
finds its favorite haunt.
In England the birds affect coppice
woods, frequenting most those which
are wet and such as have rich deposits
of dead and decaying leaves. Most of
these copses are of oak and birch and
hazel, and being only of few years
growth are thick in the top. Killing
cocks as they dash through the tops of
these, seldom rising above the bushes,
is one of the greatest tests of a shoot
er's skill. Then the birds have habit
of dropping down at short distance,
which almost invariably deludes the
inexperienced gunner.
When they are put up from their
resting places during the day the flight
is rapid; at evening 1t is slow. 1t is
row that they are easiest to shoot,
though in some parts of the country
they are still taken in nets as they fly
at dusk through the paths of the woods.
Netting woodcocl1s was at one time the
common way of taking them. for they
have always been highly esteemed as
food.
Another method of capture was BY
e'ginsr and springs" and it would
seem that in times past the wood
snipe" was considered a stupid bird.
None of the denizens of the woods con-
form better or more closely TO its en-
vironment The browns and duns and
yellows of It's plumage all have their
counterpart in the leaves among which
it lies, and it has been pointed out that
the one conspicuous ornament OF the
bird is covered By a special provision
from the gaze of those for whose sd-
mira ton IL is not intended.
This is the bright coloring of the
tail feathers, which cannot be seen ex-
cept at the viii Of the bird in flight.
The protection lacks in one thing, how
ever, and that is its large dark eye; this
is fun, bright, and $50 TO speak co.
trusive. II IS not often that a special
provision of this kind IS injurious to its
owner, but the luster which beams
from the eve seems to negative the ad-
vantage of its protective coloring. st

pope, had a seat in the house of lords
1t has been stated that Lord Forester was
the only peer who lad the privilege Of APP

This is incorrect Lord Kingsale, an Irish
peer, who is the thirty-second holder of the
title, enjoys the hereditary privilege, grant
ed by King John to his ancestors, of wear
ing his hat in the royal presence A sim
liar privilege was granted to the ancestor
Of Lord Forester, who was a commoner. by
Henry WILL The Forester peerage was
created SO late as 1921.
The privilege is, of course, very sparingly
exercised. The etiquette is to appear in the
royal presence covered just for an instant.
and then Immediately to remove the hat
1t is stated that the Lord Kingsalc Of the
day remained covered for some time in the
presence of George III and his queen.
whereupon the king rebuked him thus:

ought to take 1t off in the presence OF a
ledy.

Honey Loving Birds.

The love for sweet things is craving
of nature in all living creatures, and
birds will sometimes run great risks tC
satisfy it. Bears in their eagerness to
get at the honey in a hollow tree will
sometimes wedge themselves into so small
hole as 10 endanger their lives, and
many forest birds, such as woodpeckers,
blue jays and thrushes, run the danger Of
being stuDg to death in their endeavors
to obtain the sweet honey that bees store
in the hollow trunks of trees Sometimes
they will attack bees on the wing and
snap them up for the tiny speck of nectar
contained in their sacks. Blue jays often
take a position near beehives and fish all
day for honey. Every returning bee is
caught, but not devoured, for birds will
kill the bee only that they may sip up
the honey. Unless driven away a few
such bird robbers would soon depopulate
hive.
Occasionally the bees organize and
fight the birds. They issue in body
from the hive and make a bold attack
upon the assassins. In the quick, sharp
conflict that follows the birds invariably
get defeated. Indeed they do not attempt
to resist the onslaught, but seek safety in
flight. II the bees surround one of the
birds quickly enough, there is little hope
for the robber. They settle down upon
him and sting him to DEATH He may fly
away, but the bees cling to his back and
sides tenaciously. His flight soon be-
comes less energetic and more and more
uncertain until at last he drops to the
earth and gasps out his life among the
leaves and bushes, while the bees return
triumphantly to their home.
In the wild forests the honey loving
birds sometimes make an organized at
tempt to drive the bees away from their
home in the hollow trunk of a tree. They
first discover the place of the hidden treas
ure by following the bees on a warm, sun
ny day, and if there be an opening in the
tree large enough to admit they plunge
down the hole in body.
Then there follows sharp conflict in
side the tree, the birds swapping at the
bees and cutting them in two at each
snap. The only chance for the bees is to
light on the backs and sides of the birds.
If they fail to do this, they are soon rout-
ed, and the rich treasures of sweets are
captured by The enemies. These battles
terminate in various ways, sometimes the
bees and sometimes the birds coming out
victorious 0,W AninlaI Friends.

Superstitious Travellers.

No one but the experienced passenger
conductor knows just how whimsical and
cranky the travelling public really is, says
the Pittsburg Post. A traveller may
have some peculiar fad or notion when
he is on the road, but he never dream;
that there are thousands Of others just
like him, or perhaps worse. In years Of
experience the conductor ruhs elbow:
with all sorts of people, and in spite Of
himself becomes a mind and face reader
who takes back seat from no one except
the professional.
"Yes, travellers are superstitious and
cranky said a veteran knight Of the
punch yesterday in response to a query.
81 think the average passenger conductor
deals with more oddities daily than the
curio collector of freak show. As to
superatition, think there is more OF it
crops out on trains than anywhere else.
Last week, just as the train was ready TO
pull out for Chicago, well-dressed man
came out of the COACH on the platform
and in an agitated manner asked me
what day it was.
81 told him it was Friday, and without
another word he re.entered the coach,
and in moment returned with his lug
gage, and by way Of explanation stated
that he never began journey Friday and
would wait until the next morning.
That is only a sample. The much.moot-
ed unlucky thirteen is perhaps the cause
Of more worry and Inconvenience to tour
lists than any other sign which they deem
of i'll omen. l have known passengers to
begin at the head of the train to see if
they could find No. 10 anywhere.
1T the engine happened to be thirteen
they would resignedly wait for the next
train, and if they succeed in finding num-
Der thirteen on any of the coaches they
would hold up their hands in holy horror.
| have seen passengers refuse to ride in a
coach that held thirteen passengers, and
if you will ask a ticket man he will tell
you that Of all sections in a sleeper thr-
teen is the most difficult to dispose of.
"Then aside from the superstition
which prevails among the travelling pub
lie there are countless passengers who are
cranky, and if they lose a change to kick
are in bad humor for week afterward.
They kick for a seat in the center of the
coach kick because the train goes too
slow or too fast kick because they are
in draught or because it is 100 hot
And the worst of it all is that when they
kick | am the individual who is called
up to hear them, as if were responsible
for the whole business.
about the only time when some fell
lows don't kick is when they are on their
honeymoon. Everything goes on as
smoothly as if ordered so, but let the
same men ride on the same train rive
years later and the chances are they'll
kick themselves into exhaustion"
