Animal Etiquette.

Those who have watched the Thames
swans in the courting-season will have
noticed that, as might be expected,
these grave and stately binds have
certain rules for behavior which no
temptation can make them break.
When approaching lady swan, or
pulsning a rival which has intruded
into its particular reach of the river,
the cock swan has certain set move
ments it goes through. It is said that
the word OF command for action in
the Chinese drill is first, "Prepare to
look fierce )" next, "Look fierce Z" and,
thirdly, "Approach the enemy" Tho
swan does all this, and something
more. He sets up his wings like
pInmes, and draws his head very far
back, which corresponds with the first
and second words of command; but
for his mode Of approach he always
uses special stroke in swimming
which is kept for grand occasions.
He strikes the water with both feet
together, which sends him forward
with rush, the water ripping from
his chest as from the Prov OF shin,
Then he strikes again, as his "wayv
gets less, and in this manner will swim
very long distances, either in pursuit
OF his enemy or of some coy female
swan. II he chose to swim in the
Ordinary manner, or TO fly, or even to
get out on to the bank and run, he
would have no difficulty in overtaking
the other. But etiquette prescribes
that this slow and stately stroke shall
be used on such occasions, and swans
are too conservative to break the rule.

MARRIED ANOTHER MAN.
Divorced Wife of q Convict Weds q
LAWYER


ATLANTA, March 81 There is an
interesting story connected with the
engagement of Edith May Shields, a
daughter of the Mayor Of Big Rapids,
Mich, to L. S. Daniels, a Clarksville,
Tenn, lawyer, news OF which has
Just reached here.
A few years ago Miss Shields eloped
with the son of H. T. Buckner, a mil
lionaire merchant of New York and
Tennessee, who was known on the
stage by the name OF Harcourt. The
story of Buckner's conviction of theft
will be remembered, as we'll as toe
fact that there were strong indications
that he went to prison rather than
compromise the young woman whose
property he was charged with stealing.
When Harcourt (Or Buckner) was
sent to the pen, much interest was
manifested in his pretty wife, who
made every effort to secure his pardon,
She was taken care of by prominent
people and remained for some time
going out to the convict camp to see
her husband almost daily. 1t now
tram pires that Mrs. Harcourt has
secured divorce and her engagement
to the Tennessee lawyer is an
bounced.

Sending Money by Express.

OF course there is no profit in carry.
ing single shipment OF 81 900 at the
rate paid to the United States Express
Company. The profit is in handling
very large sums in one shipment. The
largest haul ever made by tho company
was $15,000000 taken from Washing
ton to New York in 1880. Il was in
bills Of very large denomination,
which were contained in two wooden
boxes. Though special guard went
with this shipment, he expense OF the
haul was not much greater than if the
boxes had held $1,000 each. And for
this work the express company receiv-
ed $2,250. This was very paofitable
Shipment.
The express company would have
liked to have had the contract for carry.
ing the $2O,OOO,OOO shipped from San
Francisco to New York a few years
ago. The United States Express
Company does not handle any cur
rency or coin west of the Missouri
River. II the shipment had been in
territory east of the Missouri the com.
psny could have insisted on carrying
it under its contract. But as it was
outside the contract territory it was
optional with the government to make
its own arrangement for the haul.
The Secretary of the Treasury asked
for bids for the hauling Of this vast
sum, and the best rate he could obtain
was 100000, from the Wells Fargo
Express Company. Figuring the haul
at ,266 miles, the regular rate for haul.
ing the money would have been $65,
800; but on SO large sum such a rate
would have been absurd. The Secre
tary of the Treasury got ahead of the
express companies by having five
hundred wooden boxes of specia
design made, and shipping the golc
across the ointment by registertd
nail. Theentire cost of the shipment
was about 81, 500 -Harper's Weekly.
