Curious Bird Habits.

It is a weIl-known fact that if the young of almost any kind of bird are taken from the nest before they can fly, the old ones will feed them most attentively If the cage in which the little birds are inclosed Is placed some where where the parents can reach 1t; and popular but erroneous belief Is current that they do this for time, and end by poisoning the young ones. This, however, is a mistake, the fact being that at certain stage of a young birds existence, when it is nat urally able to begin catering for itself, the parent birds, also quite naturally, cease to attend it, and then. if the birdlings are shut up in the cage and their custodian has not thought of placing some food at their disposal, they necessarily die, not from poison administered by the parents, but from starving Mall Magazine.

xudians Smoking Clcarettes.

Whenever VIC think of "Lo, the poor Indian" we picture him in our minds as smoking the picturesque pipe of peace" yet today we find him smoking cigarettes. It is enough to make Te- cumseh, Samoset and the rest of the old-time braves rise from their graves with flourish of the tomahawk and a warwhoop. It is question how the Apaehes and Navajos of the South western reservation acquired this halo it. Some say it was their associations with the Mexican tribes, who learned cigarette making from the Spanish. Others attribute their downfall to the cowboys. But. however they came by the habit, they do not smoke paper cigarettes. They simply gather up In- dian corn husks and dry them. When a cigarette is wanted the dried husk is thoroughly wet in water, the tobacco placed on it and the husk rolled up.

ROCK MAPLE THANKED sHAD.
Maine Recipe That Is Far Ahead of tue
 Chesapeake Idea.

Maine Recipe That Is Far Ahead of the
 Chesapeake Idea.
 The man who discovered that a green rock maple slab was far ahead of the green ash plank used along Chesa- peake bay for cooking planked shad is State Senator Henry P Sharp of Mon tieello. The secret was revealed by ac- cident. Years ago, when he was woods foreman. he had great trouble in finding cant dog handles that would not bend. Ash and oak made excel lent handles but as soon as they be- came wet the men who piled the logs bent them into fantastic shapes. After ten years of trial with all kinds of wood Mr. Sharp learned that rock ma pie was the only material that would remain stiff after it was water-soaked. As result of this every cant dog now has rock maple handle. Two years ago this spring Senator Sharp went down the river and bought dozen shad fresh from the weirs. On his way home he stopped at Orono to visit the cant dog factory and have a planked shad for dinner. As no green ash could be had for the planking, fresh and sappy slab was sawed off from the cs-t dog stock at the mill, and to this the shad was begged, after which it was upholstered with thin strips of fat salt pork and placed upon the coals to cook. The heat of the fire started the maple sap in the slab and made it sizzle about the shad, and by the time the fish was cooked it was surrounded with a crystal wall of maple sugar. Men who helped eat the first shad ever cooked in maple syrup say it was something to remember for a lifetime. They finished the entire fish in short order, and then cooked an- other and another, using a fresh slab every time. Then they went and told their friends about the wonderful dish. At present no one thinks about using white ash when green rock maple can be procured for cooking shad The men who are fond of planked shad cooked by the Sharp process are about to give the senator a dinner at Ban- gor hotel in order to convince hin how thoroughly they appreciate his discovery.-New York Sun.

MISTAKEN TIPPING.
Americans Abroad Frequently Pay Too
 Much for Services.

An American recently arrived in London from southern city, and be- ing in haste to continue his journey to Paris, hired a cabman to take him on one of his errands. Handing the man two shilling piece. he directed him to certain number in New Bond street. After seating himself in the cab, the passenger waited for several minutes, expecting the horse to start. At last he left the cab and found the driver on the box inspeetin the coin. which was double the usual fare. What is the matter?" asked the h. fi nant traveller. This seems to be a Fef} s@all coin for so long distance" @as tAe surly response. The Ameri- tan smiled grimly and remarked that the eabman could drive him at once to Scotland Yard. As this is the head quarters of the police, the driver per- ceived that the American was not man to be swindled. "I'll drive you to New Bond street" he remarked promptly, if you will get in, sir" Wait moment" said the American. T want you to look me over carefully. Now tell me- he continued. what it was in. my appearance that led you to think me an idiot. Was it my hat or my collar, or the cut of my overcoat? have already paid you double fare for the distance I have asked you to go, but I'll give you as much more if you will tell me what there is in my gen eral makeup that encouraged you to believe that I could be fool enough to allow you to cheat me-" The cabman by this time looked sheepish and un- comfortable. T took you for an Am eriean, sir" he sad, "and thought could work another shilling out of you Here is one of the shillings you gave me and I am ready to drivt you to New Bond street" The American had made two mistakes. He ought not to have paid double fare, and he ought not to have paid in advance. By violating the ordinary rules observed by people who hire London cabs, he encouraged the eabman to swindle him. The most judicious course for a traveller in foreign country is to learn the customs of the people in it, and not throw away money by overpaying cabmen and tip- ping servants too generously.-Youth's Companion.

Teaching Another.

Teaching Another.
 Brooklyn Citizen: I know a young American in New York, who, some years ago, after saving enough money to pay his passage across the Atlantic, and studying French for short time. went to Paris, hired a room, and put on it's door card bearing his name, with the legend, Teacher of the English Language" In few days he got pupil at the rate of one franc a week; by the end of the week he had several pupils; his fame spread so that in a few months he had four classes, each class with 20 pupils, meeting in his room at different hours of the morn- ing and the evening. His weekly in- come now was 80 francs, or $16, which was twice as much as he needed for his support. All this time he was learning the French language by teaching the English and by talking with his pupils At the end of the first year he could count dollars in his pocket by the hun dred. Meanwhile, having managed to pick up some scraps of German, he de- termined to try his luck in one of the university cities of Germany. He there put out small sign bearing his name and the words Teacher of English and French" He got more pupils than he had in Paris, and meanwhile, not only perfected himself in the German tongue, but took lessons in Latin and Greek at a classical academy. In less than three years from the time he left New York he came back to it, and now he is professor of ancient and modern languages, including the Sans crit and Persian, in a famous American institution of learning I would like to print his name in this place, but he says Don't" as he himself is going to get out book telling the whole story.
