INGENIOUS BIRD. Queer Performance of Feathered Resident of somali Land.

The honey bird, of which we saw sev- cral during our travels in Somali Land. is well worthy of mention as natural curiosity, says writer in the Nine teenth Century. It is little gray com mon-looking bird about the size of n thrush. It first forces itself upon the notice of the traveller by flying across his path uttering Q shrill, unloycly cry. It will then sit on neighbor- ing tree, still calling and waiting for him to follow. By short, rapid flights the bird vii. lead it's guest on and on, till after awhile the traveller notices that the bird has stopped its onward course and is hanging about among a certain hnlf-dozen trees. These being visited oIIe after another, and careful ly examined, the search will be re- warded by finding nest of bees in one of them. The probability is that there will be honey in it. have never known the bird mistaken. It is mat ter of honor with the natives to set aside good portion of honey for the bird. Although this action of the honey Bird is an established fact of natural history, jt is none the less un- accountable, and it would be interest ing to know whether he ever tries to cnticc quadrupeds also to assist him in obtaining his much-loved honey.

Aboard snip.

Sea voyages are usually deeme'l pro motive of health. So they are in most cases. But it may well be douh ted if the shaking up aboard ship, which people of very fragile constitution and weak nerves get, is not prejudssial if it's effects are not averted or nulh- fled by a medicinal safeguard. Ths best, if we are to believe the testimony of ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for health, pleasure or busi- ness, is Hostetter's Stomach Bltters. Invalids, commercial travellers, sea captains and yachtsmen concur in rec ommending this fine defensive tonic. So do emigrants to the frontier, the inhabitants of malarious regions, and all who are opposed to hardship or rigors of climate. For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trouble nervous ness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation, 1t is eminently effica- cious, and commended by the medical fraternity far and near.

Hornets and Birds Become Friends and the
 Former Gunrd the Latter's Nests.
 On the broad, brown salt meadows that skirt the Housatonic river. just above it's mouth, is vast colony of marsh wrens, relates the St. Paul Dis patch. In the acres of tangled jules and cat-tails the nests, which are as large as one's head, are so compactly constructed and so thoroughly thatchcd as to be entirely weathcr-tight. As n rule the thrifty little chattering wrens prefer not to occupy last years nest, so there are every season hun dreds of empty ones. They are not al- lowed to remain vacant long, for there are too many creatures seeking jus, such snug quarters. One specimen of field or meadow mice take possession of n great many of them. Big spiders, too, love to nest in the abandoned bas ket-iike Rbctes nnd live for many sea- sons in them. The most desirable tep- ants of all are the big black and white. hornets. By far the greater number of the old nests are inhabited by these fiery fellows, and, odd to relate, they are the best of friends with the land lords.
 As if by agreement with the wrens, they keep perpetual guard over the new nests, as well as those where they live. Let dog, m unconscious rail or nnipe-shooter, a bird-egging boy or any creature whatever approach the nests without warning, a cohort of winged warriors will fall on the intruder, ana flight is the only safe course. The wrens seem full conscious of the value of such sentinels, for they take care to build their nests always very near to tho old. The birds are themselves entirely defenseless, and, their nests being easily located on account of size and the noise made by the wrens, they have been in some localities entirely wiped out by egg collectors, The boys have learned to give this colony wide berth

par,ieular ss to Their P.rti..

The leading newspaper in Vienna prints at length the amazing last will and testament of wealthy old ecccn- tric who died lately at Hadersdorf-am- Ramp. "I bequeath the whole of my property. movable and immovable," says he, "to my six nephews and six nieces, but under the sole condition that every one of my nephews marrics n woman banned Antonio, and tsat every one of my nieces marries a man naTed Anton." The twelve are further re- quired to give the Christian name An tonic or Anton to each first-born child, according as it turns out to be girl or boy. The marriage of each nephew and niece is also to be celebrated on one of the St. Anthony's days. either Jan"!ary 17, May 10 or June 13. Each is further required to be married before the end of July, 1896. Any nephew or niece re- maining unmarried to an Antonio or an Anton after thnt date forfeits half of his or her share of the property.--o'

A Question of Ancestry.

Abraham Hayward, the famous Quarterly Reviewer. once thought that he would like to have some ancestors, so he walked straight to picture deal- CTS. Selecting portrait of a cavalier in half armor, with features not quite unlike his own, Mr. Hayward made a bid for it, but deeming the price asked too high, he went his way. A few days later Mir. Hayward went to dine with Lord Houghton, and was astonished to find the picture in the dining-room. Seeing that it attracted his guests at- tcntion, Lord Houghton said: "vcry good picture, that! Came into my hands in curious way. Portrait of a Mines of the commonwealth period an ancestor of mine." "Ah. indeed! said Mir. Hayward; "he was very near being an ancestor of mine."

ACToR GENTRY ON TRIAL.
Madge YOrI<e's Slayer Defended by
Mrs. FIemfnS's Attorney.

PHILADELPHIA, June A-The trial of
actor James b. Gentry for the murder of
Margaret Winifred Drysdale known on the
stage as Madge Yorlxe. on Feb. H. 1885. was
continued to-day before Judge Yerkes in
the Court of Quarter Sessions Charles w.
Brooke. of New York. who successfully de-
Tended Mrs Fleming, appeared as senior
counsel for Gentry. Opposed TO him was
District Attorney Graham. When court
opened the room was crowded. nearly as
much interest being taken as in the Holmes
trial. Gentry seemed on the verge of coll
lapse and his aged mother who sat near
the prisoner, frequently buried her face in
her hands while District Attorney Graha IN
outlined the case TO the jury.
DIR. Henry Sidebotham was the first wit
ness calledsan told in detail the result Of
There buzz of excitement when the
next witness Miss Ida Clarke, who was
in company with Miss. Yorke on THE night
of the murder stepped to the witness
stand. She detailed the story of the shoot
ing. Ex-Magistrate Milligan Identified the
statement made by Gentry while the lat
ter was in the German Hospital, and. after
an objection by Mr.. Brooke. which was
overruled by the court, the statement was
admitted in evidence. In the statement he
admits the killing, but tells of his terrible
condition for several days previous TO the
shooting. Other witnesses testified to minor
details.
