Cross WORDS KIM a bind.

A bird which receives a scolding is
made as miserable and unhappy there
by as child would be. To illustrate
this Our Dumb Animals tells the fol-
Sowing story:
A Massachusetts, woman had a few
years ago a beautiful canary bird
which she dearly loved and to which
she had never spoken an unkind word
in her life
One day the church organist was
away, and she stopped after church to
play the ot9an fAr the Sunday school.
In consequence of this the dinner had
to be put off an hour and when she got
home her good husband was. very an
CRY, and he spoke to her unlxindly.
The things were put on, and they sat
down in silence at the table, and pres
emily the bird began to chirp at her as
it always had to attract her attention.
To shame her husband for having spo-
ken so she turned to the bird and for
the first time in her life spoke to it in a
most violent and angry tone. In less
than five minutes there was a futter-
ing in the cage. She sprang to the
cage. The bird was dead
Mrs Hendricks, the wife of the late
vice president of the United States,
said that she once killed mocklng
bird in the same way. 1t annoyed her
by loud singing To stop it she spoke
in a violent tone and pretended to
throw something at it. and within five
minutes it was dead.

A Joke ON ORenhnch.

Offenbaeh, the famous opera bouffe
composer had an Unsuitable thirst for
success and fame combined with
vanity that occasionally played him a
sorry trick.
Once he was going down the Rhine
ON a steamer, among whose passengers
was the Duke of Nassau, a fact Of
which the composer was in blissful ig-
norance.
As the steamer approached its last
stopping place the bank of the river
was seen to be covereds by a dense
throng of people who were shouting
and waving their hats. A band on the
pier was playing march from one of
Offenbach's operas.
As the boat touched the pier Often
bach stepped to the rail and bowed and
waved his hat to the. people in ac-
acknowledgement of this fiattering oya-
ton.
1T is glorious to be received in a
foreign land like thisw he remarked to
his companions.
But his self eomplacency received a
rude shock the next instant when the
dukes adjutant appeared and said, in
a rough and unfeeIing manner;
Get out of the way, will you, and
let his highness show himselfg'

A peculiar but very serious difficulty
besets the operation of telegraph lines
in the Argentine Republic. The small
spider, of the variety that spins long
cobweb and floats on it in the air, is
so plentiful there that the floating
webs settle on the wires in enormous
quantities AS soon as dew falls or
shower of rain comes up every micro
scopic thread becomes wet and estab-
fishes a minute leak The effect of
thousands and millions of such leaks
is practically to stop the operation Of
the lines, and the government tele-
graph department, especially in Buenos
Ayres, has been put to vast inconven-
fence by the cobwebs. A number Of
expedients have been tried, but to no
avail. On the important line between
Buenos Ayres and Rosario the effect
of the spider webs is to cut down the
speed Of working from 300 to 400 to 80
messages an hour. The government
has just determined, as a last resort,
to connect the two points by an under
ground cable about $50 miles long.

For some years past the treasury de-
partment has received from time to
time letters from all parts of the coun-
try asking for information regarding
certain large sums of money which, It
is alleged, are on deposit in the treas
ury department awaiting distribution
to heirs or persons of great wealth in
Europe and America.
Among these noted claims is one Of
the heirs of a man of the name of De
Haven, who is alleged to have loaned
the government of the United States
large sums Of money during the Revo-
lutionary war. Another well known
case is that of the Robert Morris es-
tate, the heirs of which, it is said, are
entitled to receive from the govern
ment several millions Of dollars. The
DurlSee claim also is well known in the
department and involves several mill
lions of dollars. The latest one is that
of the heirs of Anneke Jams, who are
said to be entitled to receive from the
United States something like S90.000,-
600, which sum. 1t is said, has been re-
ceived from Holland and now awaits
proof of relationship.
1t is stated at the treasury depart
ment that all of these claims are spuri-
GUS and that they are made the basis
of confidence games by agents who
work upon the credulity Of the unin-
formed. Agents, it is said, are selling
bonds to raise money to prosecute
these claims against the government,
realizing something like SO per $1,000
promised in case of success. The treas
ury department is powerless to proceed
against these impostors.- Washington
