Cross Words XIII n Bird.

A bird which receives a scolding Is
made as miserable and unhappy there
by as a child would be. To illustrate
this Our Dumb Animals tells the fol
lowing 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 organ for 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 unkindly.
The things We're put on, and they sat
down in silence at the table, and pres
emily the bird began to chirp at her as
1t 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 flutter-
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 n mocking
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 ii was dead

A Famous Prison,


The celebrated Mamertine prison fur
nishes an important scene In Sienkie-
wicz's story, "Quo Vadis." 1t is locat-
ed on the slope of the CapitOline, In
Rome, and, according to tradition, it
was begun by Ancus Martius and later
enlarged by Servius Tullius. Jugurtha
is said to have been starved to death
here, the accomplices of Catiline stran-
gled by command of Cicero and Seja-
nus, the minister and favorite of Tibe
rius, executed. Church tradition has
consecrated this prison as the place
where st. Peter and st. Paul were con-
fined by order of Nero. Historian Hill
lard says of it:
"The Mamertine prison is hideous
vault divided into an upper and lower
portion scooped out of the solid rock
and lined with massive blocks in the
Etruscan style of architecture. A more
heartbreaking place of confinement II
is not easy to imagine. According to
the traditions of the church, st. Peter
was imprisoned here by order of Nero,
and the pillar to which he was bound
and a fountain which sprang up mirac-
ulously to furnish the water of baptism
to his iailers, whom he converted, are
shown to the visitor. There Is no rea-
son to doubt that Jugurtha was starv-
ed to death in these pitiless vaults.
Here, too the companions of Catiline
were strangled 1t is a curious fact
that the chances Of literature and his
tory should have carved two such
names as those of Sallust and Cicero
ON these Cyclopean walls"

English Red Tape.

At the present time, when the system
of red tape is being attacked and rid
iculed, the following somewhat anus
ing methods of dealing with matters
are still adopted in one Of the great
government departments.
For instance, a hairbrush and comb
must be purchased under the head Of
service clothing" whereas q tooth
brush is under "fueP and spectacles
under medicines" A clothesbasket
is Clothing" but clothes pegs are "in-
cidentals" The funniest of all, how
ever, are guano and straw, they being
purchased under "victualing."
A good instance of red tape is told in
connection with the excise. An officer
had entered in the inquiry column OF
his return: March 13. Dog dead"
This did not satisfy his superior, who
told him to inquire again, which the
obedient officer did, recording: april
10. Dog still dead."-London Stand

f. who usually had from $4,000 to
f15,000 standing to her credit, and,
needless to say, as she did not ask for

lowed her. The manager whenever
she entered the office was always most
particular to step forward and inquire
most tenderly concerning the state of
her health, and if she replied that she
