Missdventures Are Frequently Due 60 .
Lack of Discretion.
A strange accident Is recorded In the
story of fish-hawk, which sunk its
talons so deep into huge fish that IL
could not withdraw them, and, despite
its struggle, was drawn beneath the
water and drowned. Indeed the mis-
adventures that befall birds are not in
frequently due to lack of discretion In
the choice of food. On several occa-
sions starved pclicans have been found
with dead catfish in their pouches. On
being caught, the fish had erected their
sharp, spiny fms and pierced the
pouches Of their captors, which then
could neither swallow nor eject the un-
welcome prey.
A singular instance Is recorded Of o
chipping sparrow, which, in swallowing
grasshopper, swallowed also the
blade Of grass on which the insect was
resting, and the bird was found thus
tied to the ground.
Birds that use long hairs or strings in
the construction of their nests not in
frequently become entangled in them,
and are sometimes found hanging dead
at their own thresholds. An unusual
case of accidental hanging was once OBJ
served by the writer ut Englewood, N.
j. Passing beneath n chestnut tree one
September morning he saw a small
bird swinging to and fro overhead with
out any visible means of support, Il
proved to be ruby-crowned kinglet
suspended in midair by single strand
of a spiders silk which was entwined
about the longer feathers of one wing.
The strand, with others, supported the
spiders cocoon, which evidently ac-
counted for it's surprising strength.
The young spiders were just appearing
from their silken cradle, and wasp
was capturing them as they appeared,
doubtless to convey them as food to his
own young.--Our Animal Friends.

THE AFRICAN GECkO.
He's Queer Little Animal Whom tn
Ignorant Natives Fear.

Ignorant Natives Fear.
The gecko is an odd little creature.
His name is seldom heard and his form
is seldom seen, for he lives in warmer
countries than this. His home is in
Africa and the southern countries Of
Europe.
This little geclSo has so many strange
little ways and there is something so
uncanny in his appearance that the
people of the countries where he lives
arc rather afraid of him, believing his
bite to be poisonous, although this is
denied by naturalists.
He is LILLE creature with broad,
fat head l. &c q snake, and long body,
with narrow tail, with odd-shaped
bits of skin arranged like scallops along
the sides of it. He has short legs and
queer cat-lilxe claws, which enable him
to easily climb the old walls and rocks
upon which he lives, catching the I'M
scots of various sorts which make his
dinner.
He is n nocturnal animal, walking
abroad at night and sleeping in tho
daytime. He moves with sudden
rushes and without any noise what
ever. His odd name was given him
from the queer noise he, makes, which
is something like the noise you would
make to start q horse with. The male
geclso is of a gray color, so near the
shade of the old walls and rocks among
which he makes his home that no can
barely be seen.-N. Y. World.

GALLANT BOY HERO.
How Edward, Prince of Wales, Won the

How Edward, Prince of Wales, Won the
sobrIquet or Black Prince.
In the summer of the year 1340 Ed
ward III. crossed the English channel
with $4,000 men to invade France. At
Crecy, not far from the Seine, he was
met on the Goth Of August by King
Phillip with $50, 900 men. The English
army was formed in three lines and oc-
cupied small eminence. After the SOL
diers had been. confessed, Edward rode
up and down the ranks, bidding each
man to fight for st. George and the
dragon, and $50 swectly and with so
good countenance and merry cheer did
he speak, that all took courage on hear
ing him."
While the French were coming on in
great disorder, there was total eclipse
of the sun, accompanied by terrible
storm, after which the sun came out
brightly, shining directly in the faces
of the French, but on the backs of the
English. The first charge was made
by $4,000 Genoese bowmen, who came
forward with shout as though to
scare the English. The latter, who had
been ordered to lie fiat on the ground,
now arose, stepped forward pace, and
let go their arrows so fast that they
seemed like binding snow. The Gcno-
csc fled and the French king ordered
them to be cut down so that
they would not hinder the rest of the
army. In the meantime Edward, the
prince of Wales, who was in command
of one division, was surrounded by
French knights, who, recognizing his
rank, determined to capture or kill

THE DIFFERENCE.

When the winds Of winter beat
Little Bunny's hollow tree.
For blanket round his feet
Close his bushy tail tucks he.
Never mind how loud the storm,
Sound he sleeps and snug and warm.
When the iittlo honey-bees
See tho snow come powdering down
On their roof beneath tho trees
In their pleasant Beehive Town.
Then away to bed thoy creep,
All the winter long they sleep.
But when little busy Ned
Hears the noisy north wind blow.
Out he rushes with his sled,
For he loves the whirling snow
Bees and Dummies, sleepy thingsi
Lose the fun that winter brings.

Bicyclist Shock Loses the Thirty
Mile Race.
The crowd which went to the park to
witness the bicycle VS.. horse race Sun
day were somewhat disappointed in the
result. Shock was either in poor con-
dition or the horses he was put against
were in extra condition, as they won
with ease. The track was fast and with
the exception of a slight breeze it was
an ideal day for racing. Shock made
no showing at any time during the
race. The first miles were run without
gain by either. In the tenth mile
the horse gained one of the four laps
necessary for him to gain and in the
eleventh. twelfth, thirteenth and
fifteenth he evened the race. The time
for the first ten miles was thirty-one
minutes. From the fifteenth mile to
the finish the race was a drag, the
horses being held in. Shock was IN
able to make any gain on the horses at
any time during the race and had the
horses been let out the bicyclist would
have been beaten badly. The horses
came out winner by quarter of mile.
He finished the thirty miles in l hr. 46
min. and 10 sec. and Shock in l mr.. and
