A Valiant Invalid,

Huron County, Ohio, twenty five
years ago boosted a resident named
Jededinh Croncr, one of those hale in
valids who sit all day at south win
dows, reading, while their wives do the
work.
One day Jedediah grew qucru!ous.
He had "such n distress" in his stom.
ach! Nothing solid or liquid relieved
him, but when the hollow-eyed wife
suggested apple dumplings he folded
his hands resignedly and sighed. On
the strength of that Mrs. Cronce
prepared twelve large and luscious
dumplings.
With much complaint the suffering
farmer drew his chair to the board,
tucked napkin under his chin, aud,
after "a fault-findng grace, attacked
the dumplings. Brown and steaming |!
One by one they disappeared, with
hungry-eyed little Sammy looking on,
too wise to ask for portion. As he
saw the eleventh sent below to miti-
gate his sire's "distress," he slipped
from his chair and sidled around the
tnble to where the invalid sat.
"Papa," he pleaded, "can't we have
JUS one apple dumplin'?'
The old man waved his hand
''Run away, child! Papa's sick."-

Sudden Destruction OF Birds.

The long semi.annual migrations Of
birds arc attended by numberless per-
is and great loss OF lite. A recent
dispatch from Baton Rouge, La, af-
forded u striking instance.
On Friday morning, the dispatch
said, early risers here Witnessed pc
cnlinr phenomenon; a shower of dead
BIRDS fell from clear sky and literally
cluttered the streets. They were
ducks, catbirls, woodpeckers, and
many birds of strange plumage, some
OF them resembling cunuries, but all
dead. They fell in heaps along the
thoroughfares.
The most plausible explanation Of
the strange windfall, the sender of
the dispatch thinks, is that the birds
were driven inland by II recent severe
storm on the Florida coast. Doubtless
they were caught by some sudden
change of weather while they were
Mt n great height. perhaps
several miles above the earth.
Some idea of the extent of the show
er may be gained from the fact that
in one avenue children picked up as
many as 200 birds.
