The Pennsylvania who traded his
wife to a German for a bicycle and a
musical instrument did not make such
an excellent bargain as he at first
supposed. When the German got tired
of the exchange and sighed for his
music and his wheel again he had the
husband arrested for stealing them. He
may have obtained the property under
false pretenses, but there is nothing in
the dispatches showing that the woman
was warranted.

Why birds build nests seems strange
when we consider that everywhere
there are abundant hooks and crannies
that might be utilized and which would
prove quite as safe as the frail struc-
lures many birds do build in trees and
bushes. The origin of building
opens up too wide a field of discussion
to be treated here. 1t is enough to
know that most birds build nests and
a great many do not, and that the
nests of different species of birds vary
greatly. There are nests which are
mere platforms of sticks that do not

Melancholy Thought.

When a man really gives his thoughts up chiefly to eatables and drinkables, he generally ceases to think of anything else after awhile. It is related in an old book on French cookery that Fontenelle a French author O. the early part of the eighteenth century belonging to the school of the precieuses, or literary ex- quisites. was found one beautiful morn ing lying at ease on the slope of hill
 In the valley was large flock of sheep They skipped about daintily, waiting for their guardian to take them home A friend of Fontenelle surprised him gazing meditatively upon these sheep.
 "Ahai' said the friend "The amia- ble philosopher ponders without doubt upon the yicissitudes of life.
 "Y-yes. said Fontenelle .'I had been carefully looking over this. flock, and said to myself. 1t is possible that among these 200 sheep there is not one tensler leg of muttonl' .

 Talking about bishops, the other af. ternoon a distinguished. stately man, clad in the garb of minister, was over at the fish commission spending a half hour in watching the gyratiOns of the specimens in the tank. One of the scientists of the institution, a young ichthyologist, whose papers on the sub ject of deep sea investigation are at tracting attention throughout the world, happened, in passing by the tank, to notice the minister. He studied the stately visitor for minute, and then he walked up to him.
 Am I right" he inquired, ''in sup posing you to be the Right Rev. Lucien Lee Kinsolving, Episcopal bishop of Brazil?'
 "YOu are," replied the stately man, regarding his questioner wOnderingly.
 "Well, then, hello, 'BlOOker!" said the scientist, jOvially, holding out his hand.
 "Why, hello, there, Charlie!" warmly replied the Right Rev. Lucien Lee Kin solving, Episcopal bishop of Brazil, squeezing the young scientists hand.

A NIYIL DeacrlnfInn.

A short sighted and deaf old gentle man who was at an entertainment where professor performed on a big bass viol, thus described the scene: "The professor carried on to the plat form gigantic beetle attached to the end of a sort of lamppost. He leaned over and fondly embraced it, tickling its back violently with long comb.
 ''The spectators seemed much de- lighted at this display of scientific af- lection. The beetle was apparently quite unmoved. Then the professor gave capital imitation of the drunken man and the lamppost. He swayed rapidly up and down, clutching quickly at all points.
 Sometimes his fingers quivered pas sionately upon one spot, like an i'll tenn pered man struggling with an obstinate pair of braces. Sometimes he rested momentarily, as one rests after con- test with a stiff white tie.
 Finally, he gave last conv1lsive tickle to the huge beetle, picked himself up from the lamppost and carried off the unresisting insect. The audience applauded vigorously.

They Settled.

Long before the war General Butler, Who was then a struggling young law yer lived up in Massachusetts manu- facturing town. He had displayed abil- lty at college, but had to wait the usual number of years for his first case. At last young girl who had worked in cotton mill came to him for redress against her employers She had been discharged without wages, and on re- quest for three weeks wages was un- tremendously thrust from the door. The case looked blue, for the firm was very rich one, but she needed money badly She offered Ben one-half to col lect it.
 The next morning, while on her way to look for employment, she came upon a great gathering at a crossing. She inquired what was the matter and learned that the factory she had left had shut down for the first time in 30 years Wondering what could have brought about such state. she passed on and presently met Butler. He was leaning against lamppost whittling a stick
 '' 'Tsall right. ' he called, waving his knife with jaunty air '''Tsall right I've got 'eml'
 "Got who3' ventured the young lady.
 "Why. those old skins up at the fac tory I went to 'em right after l saw you yesterday and demanded the bill They told me to hustle. I then got out an attachment on their water wheel and shut up the shop. You own $15 worth of the entire machinery. Oh, they Il settle by noonI'' And they did.

The spider has tremendous appe- tite and his gormandizing defies all hu- man competition. A scientist who carefully noted a spiders consumption of food in twenty-fOur hours concluded that if the spider were built proportion ately to the human scale he would eat at daybreak Approximately a small alligator, by a. m. lamb, by 9 a. m young camelOpard, by o'clock a sheep, and would finish up with lark pie in which there were 12O birds. Yet in spite of his enormous appetite a spider has wonderful power of re- training from food, and one has been known to live ten months when abso- lutely deprived of food. A beetle lived In a similar state of unrefreshment for three years.

clRcUMsTANTlAL EVIDENCE
Strongest Chain of discriminating In

Strongest Chain of discriminating In.
 cidents May Prove Erroneous.
 A recent incident in London serves to prove that the strongest chain of circumstantial evidence may be defect i've.
 A visitor at the American circus ex- changed comments with well-dressed stranger who sat by his side, and used his own opera-glass freely. Midway in the performance the stranger re marked:
 "I have been here several times, and know the best features of the show. advise you to watch closely with your glass what is now going on in the farthest ring. It is one of the most interesting numbers of the program
 The advice was followed. The visitor watched eagerly the performance in the distance, and when 1t was finished, thanked his 14ighbor for the hint say ing that 1t was we'll worth seeing. The stranger assented, and after moment ary delay left his seat, saying that he would not stay to the end, as he had seen the show several times.
 "It is your first visit here," he added "and you would better remain for the last act, which is the best of the even ing"
 Not long afterward the visitor missed his watch, and felt sure it had been stolen by the stranger while the opera glass was in use. The police at Scot land Yard advised the victim the next day to advertise for the watch. and also to open negotiations with several of the largest pawnbrokers for its re covery, leaving with them a descrip- tiOn of it. In the course of week he received a call from one of the pawn brokers.
 '"This looks like your watch" remark ed the dealer, "but can't believe that 1t is."
 A gold watch was produced and at once identified. It corresponded exact ly in size and design with the missing watch. It bore the name of the same watchmaker on the inner case, and also the number and date.
 "I am certain that it Is mine," was the response. Describe the man who has pawned it."
 This was done. The description tai lied quite closely with that of the visit OTIS unknown acquaintance at the cir GUS.
 You have bought it from the pick pocket" he added, "and must help me in having him arrested and convicted"
 The pawnbrOker admitted that the evidence was strong enough to convict the man, but added that he had abso. lute faith in his innocence. He asked the loser to write to the watchmaker, and ascertain whether, by any chance, two watches had been marked with the same number.
 This was done, and a reply was re ceived, stating that, by accident, two watches had been marked with the same number and were exactly alike One of them had been sold to an En glishman, whose name was given 1T the letter. The pawnbroker, when tho name was repeated, eXclaimed:
 'gThat Is the name of the man who pawned the watch because he was penniless! knew that he could not be a pickpOcket."
 Nevertheless, the>innocent man would have been convicted if he had been hastily arrested. The circumstantial evidence would have been regarded as cOnclusive.-Youths Companion.
