Grnndmn,s Ignorance.

Little 5-year-old Nettie, who had been brought up in the city, was spend ing a few days in the country. Grand ma, what are those funny little green things?" she asked, as they were pass ing through the garden one day. Why, those are peas" was the reply. Peas nothing!" exclaimed Nettie, I'm s'prized at your ignorance, grandma. " Why, dear, what do you mean?" asked the old lady "I'd think replied Nettie, that woman of your age ought to know that peas come in tin cans.''

THE CARPENTER BIRD.
These Industrious Little Fellows Fly Many
 Miles to Secure Their Stores.

These Industrious Little Fellows Fly Many
 Miles to Secure Their Stores.
 Down in Mexico there lives a Wood becker who stores his nuts and acorns in the hollow stalks of the yuceas and magueys. These hollow stalks are sep arated by the joints into several cav ities, and the sagaeious bird has some- how found this out, and bores hole at the upper end of each joint and an other at the lower, through which to extract acorns when wanted. Then it fills up the stalks solid1y and leaves it's stores there until needed, safe from the depredations of any thieyish bird or four footed animal.
 The first place in which this curious habit was observed was on a hill in the midst of a desert. The hill was cov- cred with yuccas and magueys, but the nearest oak trees were thirty miles away, and so it was calculated, these industrious birds had to make flight of sixty miles for each acorn slowed thus in the stalks!
 An observer of birds remarks: 4There are several strange features to be noticed in these facts: the provi- dent instinct which prompts this bird to lay by stores of provisions for the winter, the great distance traversed to collect a kind of food so unusual for it's race, and it's seeking in a place so remote from its natural abode store house so remarkab1e.'
 Can instinct alone teach, or have ex- perienee and reason taught these birds that, far better than the bark of trees or ereyices in rocks or any other hiding place are these hidden cavities they make for themselves with the hollow stems of distant plants?
 This we cannot answer But we do know that one of the most remarkable birds in our country is this California Woodpecker, and that he is well en- titled to his Mexican name of el car- pintero-the carpenter bird.-Ex- change.

A kitten went a-walking
 One morning in July, And idly fell a-talking
 With a great big butterfly, The kittens tone was airy,
 The butterfly would scoff; When there came along a fairy Who whisked his wings right off. And then-for it is written
 Fairies can do such things Upon the startled kitten
 She stuck the yellow wings. The kitten felt a quiver,
 She rose into the air Then flew down to the river
 To view her image there. With fear her heart was smitten, And she began to cry. "Am butter-kitten
 Or just a kitten-fly?'

 Star: The band concert at the park last evening was all that could be de- sired. The moonlight was magniti- cent, the music by the Juvenile band would have done credit to a much older and more practical musical or ganization, the refreshments served by the ladies were dainty and deli cious. There was mammoth crowd out, everybody enjoyed an immense time and the benefit received liberal patronage. It is only regretted that Tucson people do not have nor gepe- titiOns of such superb entertainments.
