COULD NOT KILL THE BIRD,
After being Fourteen Days I'm an
IcebOx the AlbntrOss
Still Lived.

A writer says Sir William CORY
told him some time ago that on one
of his steamships coming from New
Zealand an albatross, supposed to have
been choked dead, kept in an ice box
alta temperature which was always
much below freezing point, was found
to be alive at the end of IA days. Capt.
Reed, in command Of the vessel in
question, says Nature, supplemented
the story with the statement that
the bird was supposed to be killed by
being strangled with twine tied MS
tightly as possible around the neck.
This twine was not removed. The
beak was closed and tied and the legs
crossed behind the tail and tied. 1t
was then wrapped in an old meat
cloth and put with three other birds
in the return box at the end of the
port snow trunk. 1t remained there
for certainly not less than ten days.
On the snow boy complaining that the
bird "grunted" when he went near it
the albatross was taken out, when it
was found that il could move its neck
about and open its beak and the eyes
were open and lifelike. The lower
half of the body and the legs were
frozen hard. The fastening on the
beak had come off. 1t was alive for
two hours after being taken out and
was then strangled and put in the
snow box.

Fined For Swearing in Court.

There was a mild sensation in the
Superior Court, at Scranton, last
week, Tuesday, when President Judge
Rice called John J. Crowley before
him and made him pay s. per word
for an expression that was hardly in
keeping with the majesty of the law.
During an argument of case At
torney Zarr, for the appellee, made
the statement that STATIONERY" as
used, meant nothing.
Crowley, who was asleep, awoke,
and, jumping to his feet, made the
attorneys statement more impressive
by saying:
"Not by damn sight"
Tne Court and all present were
stunned for moment; but Judge
Rice recovered and called the man to
the bar IN front of him. Finding that
he had no interest in the case he fined
him $ro for contempt.
This was during the argument OF
the case of w. II. Henrie against
Columbia County. to recover the
amount expended by him for station
cry used in the Prothonotary's Office.

Applications for Brook Trout

The Pennsylvania Fish Commission,
at its meeting in Philadelphia recent
ly, declared itself ready to receive ap-
plications tor brook trout fry for
planting in the waters OF the State.
The attention of the public is drawn
TO a rule adopted by the board al its
last annual meeting to the effect that
no applications for trout fry will be
received after April 18th, and that the
fish will be shipped by the superin-
,endents of the Matching stations,
when they decide it best for the inter
ests of the fish to do so, and not to
suit the convenience of the appli-
cants. Persons who wish to stock
Columbia County streams should now
write to the State Board Of Fish
Commissioners, Harrisburg, Pa, tor
order blanks, and then by filling and
forwarding them as per directions
they will secure what they ask.

Look Out For Them Here.

Some unsavory stories are beirg
told of some creamery agents, who
have been operating IN Centre county.
They are said to visit farm and

not take it at all if it doesn't prove
satisfactory, ard if he does decide to
take 1t he will not be called upon for
pay until next March. All the agent
cares to have is receipt to show his
company in whose hands the article
in question has been left. The re-
ceipt, as might be expected. turns out
TO be judgment note and when
once signed the farmer has no redress
but to pay the price of the article left
with him; the price being In the
neighborhood of 500.

The following is told at the expense
of an American gentleman who was re-
Gently stopping with his wife at the
Hotel Cecil. On their first evening
there he happened to retire somewhat
later than his spouse. Arriving at the
door of what he imagined to be his
room, and finding it locked, he tapped
and called: Honey" No answer
came, and he called again and more
loudly: Honey" Still he got no re-
ply, and, becoming somewhat uneasy,
he shouted the endearing term with his
full lung-power. This time a reply
came, and in male voice. "Go away,
you blithering idiot! This is bath

SMALLEST OF THEIR KIND.
The Dwarf Cattle Of CeIebes Are No
Larger Thnn Ordinary FULL
Grown sheen

Celebes had the distinction Of being
the home of the smallest living repre-
sentative of the wild cattle. or, indeed,
of the wild cattle of any period of the
earth's history, for no equally diminu-
tive fossil member of the group ap-
pears to be known to science. An
idea of the extremely diminutive pro-
portions of the anoa, or sapi-utan, as
the animal in question is respectively
called by the inhabitants of Celebes
and the Malays, may be gained when
it is stated that its height at the
shoulder is only about three feet
three inches, whereas that Of the
great Indian wild OK, or guar, is at
least six feet four inches, and NAV,
according to some writer's, reach as
much as seven feet. In fact, the anoa
is really not much, If at all, larger
than a well-grown South Down sheep
and scarcely exceeds in this respect
the little domesticated Bramini cat
tie shown few years ago at the In
dian exhibition held Mt Earl's Court.
says knowledge.
The anoa has many of the charac-
ters OF the large Indian buffalo, but
its horns are relatively shorter, less
curved and more upright. In this, as
well as in certain other respects, il is
more like the young than the adult of
the last-named species, and as young
animals frequently show ancestral
features which are gradually lost as
maturity is approached it would be a
natural supposition that the anoa is
primitive type of buffalo.

Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers. The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
childless homes the kiss of wife and
husband grows formal, and presently is
neglected the springs of love in the
heart become choked for want of use
and exercise. Childlessness is great
sorrow to many women. II is like a
curse from Nature, who bids all crea-
lures to be fruitful. 1t is not a curse
but n misfortune. Often the conditions
which cause childlessness are removable.
