A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain sprunG
 Upon the sci~ntlsts.

Mark Twaln's father was an ornithol- oRlst. He hnd G'ycral friends who were nlsO enthusiasts on the subject of birds. Whenever any one of them dis covered rnrn avis lt was the custom to have n consultation. Mark had been witness of several Of these bird in- quests and had noted the delight the old men took In discussing new found specimen. One dny 1t occurred to him to provide the Hannibal ornl- biologists with n real circus in the form of n bird. He killed n crow and also bnrnynrd rooster. Plucklng out the tall feathers of both the crow and the rooster. he substituted the rooster's tail feathers for those of the crow, pro ducng n unique effect. When he had the specimen nLSrly prepared, he went 10 his father and. handing 1t to him, said:
 Here, father. is very curious bird I shot. I thought you would be inter- ested in It."
 The old gentleman gazed upon the specimen with nstonIshmcnt. That evening the ornlthologists of Hannibal were assembled in Mr. Clemens par Tor. The rare specimen was put before them. The discussion was long and learned. The opinions expressed were various. One thought the bird was an offshoot Of the bird of paradise fam fly; others had equally ridiculous mo- tons as 10 Its ancestry. But there was one who refused to be swerved by the peculIarity of the birds tall from the Judgment that 1t was of the crow fam fly.
 Why. just look here" he said, lift Ing the bird by its tail feathers. He got no further. The feathers came out. There was a quick closing of door Mir. Clemens started to leave the room.
 "Gentlemcn." he said. please excuse me few moments. l will see Samuel first and explain later"

How Bn nnna Trees Grow.

It Is a peculiar fact that but one bunch of bananas grows on a tree. After the fruit has been cut the tree Is then cut down to the ground. and from the stump another tree sprouts which bears another bunch the following year. The greatest trouble of farmers Is to keep the farms clear of sprouts. They shoot up from the roots of the tree for n radius of ten feet and grow like weeds.
 As the fruit Is cut from the trees 1t Is placed on the backs of little pack donkeys and transported In this way to the coast One donkey can carry from three to six punches. according to the size of the punches and the dis tance from the coast. In the season at Baracoa there are more than 5000 don keys that stretch along In q line foE miles. ploddlng toward the coast with their loads Of bananas.

Don't Dine Alone.

How many people dine alone? The restaurants all number solitary diners among their regular clientase. How many thousands of people, men or wo- men. will eat a lone dinner or supper tonight in the cities and towns and hamlets of ChristendOm? The evil of eating alone Is the subject of m ear nest although cheerful warning from the London Lancet The hygien!c val ue of gregarous dining is insisted up- on. The necessity of taking food in social fashion Is an inherent racial sort of thing. and those who go against lt for years usually have to pay for it with some of the Ills of indigestion. Breakfasting alone Is not bad for q busy generation. but dining alone Is not habit to be long continued. lD civ llIzatlon or out Of 1t. without disastrous results
