sHEEP-KlLLINo PARROTS.
Pounco Upon Their Victims and DriII
Holea In Their Backs

H0lea In Iholr buckh'
Taylor White contributes 70 the
zoologlst an account of tho Ikea, a dull
green bird of the parrot type, known
as Nestor notabilis, whose sheep-kill-
ing propensitles have lately attracted
much attention. Alfred Russell Wal
lace says that the koa deserted Its nat
ural forests and berries first for the
pickings Of the farmers slaughter
yards, then for the live sheep, and
finally, by a refinement Of evolutionary
adaptation, for the delicate rat which
covers the sleeps kidneys. Mr., White,
who was farming sheep on the New
Zealand mountains before the kea had
learnt Its bad habits, and who has
had the best opportunity for studying
the bird, disputes this statement. The
kea, he says, could not have deserted
it's berries for 1t is only found above
the forest line, where berries do not
grow. It's food consists naturally
chiefly of lichens on stones, and 1t hit
on the practice OF killing sheep in all
probability by accident. Suddenly Il
was found that some sheep, which
had missed steering and had long
wool, would die In the night, and on
slllnning q small round hole far down
the back would be discovered. For a
long time the cause of this was UNI
known, but one day the kea was caught
in the act, and thenceforth Its pro-
ceedings were closely watched. The
kea's habit of killing sheep and seek
ing out the kidney fat has been held
up as one Of the most striking instances
of rapid adaptation; but Mr.. White
thinks the adaptation was accustomed
by the resemblance Of the long and
possibly frozen wool to the llchens on
which the birds feed, The parrot, II
seems, never touches the kidney fat
at all, but simply wants the blood, and
the reason for its choosing a spot far
back was not the proximity of any spe-
cial delicacy, but the fact that 1t
could not be reached there, and that
the position and the long hair gave 1t
purchase during the frantic efforts
which the victim made to escape.

Willie Bluncl was taken from a felon's
cell. Yet until after the pardon was
granted the bank president had not set
eye on the waif whom he has so well
befriended.
While Mr., Smith resolutely refuses
to talk Of his protege or what he has
done or will do for him, 1t Is known that
he was attracted to the boy by hearing
how he had offered to take all the blame
for murder for which he and a young
companion were on trial. Over two
years ago Willie Blunck, then IA years
old, and Tom Lavein, aged 16, engaged
in fight with Albert Achroth, Pole.
Both boys were intoxicated, and La
vein shot and killed the man with an
old pistol. Young Laveln had parents
ard home and friends, while Blunck
was an orphan. When the boys were
arrested and brought to trial every
thing was done to save the Lavein boy,
but the evidence went steadily against
him. His father and mother were In
the deepest distress. One day during
the trial Willie Blunck called the young
lawyer whom the court had appointed
to defend him, and urged that the crime
be all laid upon him.
"Tommy's father and mother are TAX
Ing on over his trouble, but haven't
no father or mother or anybody to care
what becomes Of me-" he said. Let
him 90 and put 1t all on me-"
The young attorney was much moved
by this proposal, though he refused to
follow his boyish clients unselfsh wish,
Both lads were sentenced to forty years
in the penitentiary. Layein's relatives
moved for new trial, but While
Blunck could not, and ere long he went
to work in the rattan and reed depart
ment at Joliet. He was a good" con-
vict, and worked steadily until about
two months ago, when he was consign-
ed to the hospital by the penitentiary
physician because Of consumption. He

Polly loved to watch Bridget while
she cooked the Thanksgiving dinner.
The kitchen was full Of sweet scents,
ginger and nutmeg and cinnamon, and
the smell Of the big turkey in the oven
-ah!
Bridget mixed and tasted, and stirred
and tasted again.
LET me help, Bridget" said little
Polly.
"Wait a minute, darlint," said busy
Bridget, land you shall haste the tur-

Now you little folks who have helped
mamma cook know that the way to
haste turkey is to take long spoon
and pour the juice over the sides and
breast. But Polly did not know this.
She trotted upstairs and down again,
and stood patiently by the oven waiting
for Bridget to show her how to haste
the turkey.
Now, then, Pm ready" said Bridget,

time merry war was threatened. Miss
Foster, one Of the teachers, requested
the pupils not to eat onions, which
many of them were in the habit Of do
ing, as the odor was offensive to others
who did not indulge in them. The re-
quest was considered an infringement
on their rights, and many Of the pupils
took to eating them, some even bring
ing raw onions to school and distribute
ing them around among the scholars,
and they were thrown In the wood box
and placed in the desks. The rod OF
chastisement was applied, and the
parents of many Of the pupils have
severely censured the teacher for her
demand. The teacher says she pun
ished the pupils only for insubordina-
ton, and not for eating onions. The
matter has stirred up much feeling.

A stsnmbont Attaokod BY a shark.

The Blonde, small steamer, was
caught in violent storm in Queen
Charlotte sound on her last trip
north. While the waves were sweeping
over the boat and the captain feared
that they might never reach port alive,
a shark, over thirty feet long, made its
appearance directly in front Of them
and appeared to be preparing to charge
the steamer
Capt. Beck could not resist shot
from his rifle at the huge fish. His aim
was true and a rife ball was lmbedded
In the head Of the man-eater The
shark, furiously lashing the water, re-
treated several yards and, turning Cd
its back, charged directly al the little

the boat and fish met that those on
board said 1t felt as II they had struck
a rock. The boat qulvered from stem
to stern and swayed even more fiercely
than in the storm. The shark, however,
had had enough and, retreating, sank

she might be about Kitty's own age,
whose shoulders and waist told the
same story; but whose lower limbs
seemed curiously misshapen and
shrunken-no larger, in fact, than those
Of mere child. The face was a pretty,
