Heirs Afraid of n Comb.

By way of illustrating the nervous
ness which the recent explosions have
revived here. a queer adventure which
has just befallen the heirs of a house
owner may be mentioned They had
met at the dwelling of their departed
uncle for the purpose of drawing up an
inventory of his effects III company
with lawyer and bad nearly completed
their task when one Of them pulled out
of a cupboard metal box, which was
laid on tie table and which the man Of
business was about to open. when one Of
his nieces cried out in hcrror Don't
touch it Look. that is fuse. Sure
enough. there was little something
popping out of the cover. 1T Is a
bomb!" exclaimed the panic stricken
heirs in chorus, and then they proceed
ed to remark that their deceased rela-
tive had been moody, silent and re-
served sort of individual, and thence
they inferred that he might possibly
have been an anarchist Two of the
nephews had had put on their hats and
were on the point of rushing off to the
office of the nearest police oommissary,
when the lawyer. who had been quietly
inspecting the box. calmly suggested
that it might simply contain some pre-
served fruit This theory somewhat re.
assured the men. but the ladies would
have their way The commissary was
sent for. and the mysterious box was
soon on its way to the municipal labora-
tory. 1t was found to contain pine
apple. the stalk of which had been mis-
taken for fuse. So the good old uncle.
who had been so ungratefully maligned.
had not been an anarchist after all -

Making Artificial Singing Birds.

1t appears to us--and the reader will no
doubt view the matter in the same light
that the most difficult task imaginable
would be that of constructing perfect ar
tifcial bird-one that would, by its appear
ance, deceive any one but an expert orni-
biologist AS difficult as such a task must
have been, the magician, HOudin, not only
manufactured one that was perfect as for
as looks were concerned, but which was
also fine singer. This wonder of me-
chanical ingenuity was made in the form
of n nightingale and Is said to have imi-
tated that birds song to perfection.
Houdin also impaired motion to his
wonderful automatic creation. After 1t
was completed it moved its beak in ac-
cordance with the sounds produced, tapped
its wings and leaped from branch to branch
on the shrub which formed its perch and
made all of it's motion as true to life as a
living bird of the same species would have
done.
This wonder was made in 1916, on the
order of wealthy merchant of st. Peters
burg. Houdin's fame was worldwide at
about that time on account of the promi-
hence he had attained by constructing an
artificial boy which could write, draw
maps, talk, etc. This last mentioned au-
tomaton was made in 1874. One day while
the "boy" was attempting to draw the
picture of crown for the Comte dc Paris
he broke his pencil and instantly looked
up at those around just as naturally as
any living boy would have done.-St

In the delicacy of her sensibilities. She
didn't know exactly what she wanted.
"The chrysanthemums are very nice and

His Awful Cheek Did 1t.

It was in the cabinet makers shop,
and party of strangers We're looking at
the different labor saving devices. One
gentleman, very shortsighted, had tar
ried at the bench across the room. He
was examining circular saw that was
whirling its teeth with lightninglike
rapidity.
Absorbedly interested in the piece Of
mechanism, his face drew nearer and
nearer to the cruel teeth tearing round
and round with remorseless energy. At
this instant his friends turn about. They
see his danger. Inevitably the gap
grows smaller and smaller. Spellbound,
they are unable to utter sound. They
cannot endure to see their friend torn
and lacerated. Instinctively they shut
their eyes.
Then comes the awful jar of the col
lision. There is whirling sound and a
crash. A shudder runs through them
all. The next instant they hear the
voice of the cabinet maker:
"Of course you will pay for that saw.
sir?'
Their friend had escaped uninjured.
but the saw was shattered-it had struck
his cheek.

But 1t Was Only by the Exercise of Good
Generalship In the Case.
There was look about the woman's
eye which indicated that she had asked
her husband for the last time to do what
rhe wanted. 1t was not an angry look. 1t
was merely an expression which showed
that ordinary means had failed and size
must try fnesse. Her husband, who was
sitting on the step, looked over the top Of
his paper as she passed him to 60 to the
front gate.
"I'm going after that loaf of bread you
spoke of in few minutes now" he said
apologetically.
"I'm not going to make any more re-
quests" she answered. But he did not
hear her. His face was again buried in his
newspaper.
Presently she came rushing up the walk
and exclaimed
lone of the neighbors saw patrol wag-
on go up the street at n gallop and turn
the corner toward the grocery. There must
have been a fight or something"
Without word he grabbed his hat in
an instant and was going down tho street
at rate which made two baby carriages
turn out for fear of a collision. As his
wife gazed after him she saw him going
around the corner SO fast that the centris-
ugal force threw him over on enc side.
In five or ten minutes ho came back.
He handed her bundle and reached for
his paper, saying:
"Here's that bread. AS long as l was so

PClLY'S DANDER UP.
ATTAINED at Sight OF an Offensive Bird Q
Visitor Wore on Her Hat.


A bridal couple who put in several
days recently taking in the sights Of
the capital enjoyed themselves i'm.

departure. 1t then occurred TO the bride
that She had not called upon dear
Fanny, who had been her chum dur.

to dc with the anxiety of the bride TO
call upon her maiden chum George de.

pay formal call The bride dressed
herself in fetching gown and placed
upon her saucy head a Partisan dream
in the way of hat The hat was one
of those Undesirable creations of the
milliner's art, mass of flowers with
bird or two partially concealed in the
foliage, so to speak
The pair went gayly forth and in
hotel coupe were soon at the door Of
Fanny's residence, Their cards were
taken and they were ushered into the
drawing room. While awaiting the
coming Of her friend the bride atten-
ton was attracted TO large cage con-
tanning splendid parrot She chirruped
cooingly to the imprisoned bird and
wished she might take him out Of his
cage and caress him. George remarked
that he looked tame enough and sug
gested the opening Of the door Of the
cage Suiting action to the word, he
opened the door and the released bird
calmly walked forth and strutted
about, blinking his beady eyes know
ingly. The bride, with usual calls of
Poll, pretty Poll ~ coaxed the bird to-
ward her. and poll proceeded to climb

The bird accepted the caresses, and
apparently all was serene. but without
an instants warning she uttered a
scream of rage and few at the lady 8

then for few minutes the air was fill

his face badly scratched for his pains,
The lady finally shook the bird loose

and determined to return to their hotel
to repair damages, They did not tarry
long enough to see dear Fanny.
The sudden wrath of the bird was
evidently caused. George thought upon

to be real live rival and proceeded

Before the war for American inde-

bishop among them. but remained un.
der the jurisdiction of the bishop OF

unknown, and every candidate for or.

from America for ordination in 1897 10
