BIRDS FROZEN TO DEATH.
Mudhons By the Hundreds Cauxht BIZ
Sudden Cold Snap on q Lake
In WAAhin9t0n,

A very singular incident was noted
in the neighborhood of LOOMS, Wash,
as result of recent and sudden cold
snap. Some four miles above LOOMS
is a large, beautiful mountain lake
and among the native fowl that collect
on the lake are many mudhens, home
~ and useless member of the web
foot family 80 common all over this
country as to be well known to every
sportsman. The nature of the bird
when flushed il to fly, or flop, along the
surface Of the water.
For the first time that it has ever
been noticed the mudhens have re-
manned upon the lake this late in the
season. The recent cold weather was
inaugurated with stiff and bitter
gale, churning the lake into many
waves. AS the birds flew along the
surface, striking the water, the ice
formed upon them SO rapidly that they
lost the power of locomotion and 200
or 300 OF them were caught in the rap
idly forming ice and frozen to death.
This may not be an uncommon circum-
stance says LOOMS special to the
Seattle Times, but it is the first time it
has ever been seen by the residents of
this locality. =

where Theft IL Not Robbery.


In China theft is 10 common that
nobody notices it. A young China
man once slipped three oranges up his
sleeve at party. While making his
bow at parting the oranges slipped out
and rolled onto the floor. He account.
ed for the awkward event BY saying
that his mother was very fond Of or
:anges. His fault was straightway
overlooked, and he was afterward held
up Is an instance Of hlial piety. There
are several proverbs which 90 to show
that the folk think lightly OF steals
ing. One says that '..When tailors
cease to pilfer cloth, their children
will have to go without food, and
another declares When silversmiths
do. not steal they will certainly
starve.' IL .s. .

Royal M0s0osto.

: Most of the sovereign houses of Eu-
rope possess one or more relics which
they regard as mascots. The house of
Bonaparte possesses the boots and lit
tie hat of Napoleon I. The Hohenzol-
lerns preserve piously the gray leather
breeches worn by the Burgrave Fred
eric when he entered his marquisate
OF Brondenburg. There Is also at Sans
sousi the cane which Frederick the
Great carried at the battle of Ros-
bach. The Romanoffs cherish the car
penter's tools Of Peter the Great, and
the fetish of the Hapsburgs is the
shoe which the horse Of Count Rudolph
cast at the moment when the ENJOYS
from the reichstag announced to him
his election o. German emperor.

RED DRAGON REINSTATED.
SoAsth1n9 Over Which Al Xoval
wslshnsa WlM BE Likely to
Feel Hated,

There win be rejoicing in Wales
and among loyal Welshmen the
world over now that the Red Dragon
of Cadwallader il to find his due
place in the heraldic achievement of
the princes of Wales. We published
the other day the order of the king
in council, that there be added to
the achievement of prince of Wales
the badge of the Red Dragon" This
ancient badge il to be borne as q
badge, Of course, and not quartered
on the shield of the princeton the
sinister side (the spectators right,
that is) Of the royal crest as heir ap-
parent, while the ancient badge Of
the ostrich feathers. II on the. other
side, the crest and the two badges
appearing thus in line over the
shield. The badge is: ION q mount.
vert dragon PEASANT gules, differ
enced Al in the royal crest with a
label of three points argent" The
duke of Norfolk, the earl marshal
OF England, is charged to see that
the necessary directions be given,
says the London Graphic.
The Red Dragon of Cadwallader OF
Wales il represented in a. painting
in one of the heraldic manuscripts
In the British museums manuscript
which contains colored drawings OF
the royal badges from Edward III
down to King Edward w.. and it
was presumably written in the days
Of Edward vi.
The banner of King Henry VII. in
the Vincent MS, No. 152, in the Col.
lege of Arms, shows that: the king
quartered the red dragon in a ban.
ner with his other badges. Henry
also used the dragon a. a supporter,
and it can be seen with the white
greyhound in the chapel at Windsor,
supporting portcullis unsigned with
rose. From this time the Tudor
moharchs used the dragon as one OF
the supporters of the royal arms,
Henry VII. descended from Owen Tu-
dor, thus proclaimed his Welsh an
cestry; but the dragon dropped out
when the Stuart dynasty succeeded,
and has not reappeared until now,
at last, the king, with his usual gra-
cious sympathy with national aspira-
tons, has restored it to the achieve
ment of arms of the heir apparent,
who takes his title from the princi-
Paity. !. - .,.sl.'
The question of the admission of
the emblem of Wales has come up
from time to time. In 1893 the COM
plaint< was that Wales was not
represented on the coinage, and, as
Wales claims to possess a shield of
arms as we'll as badge, it was then
said that these arms Quarterly or
and gules four. lions PEASANT guard
ant counterchanged) ought to; be
quartered with. England, Scotland
and Ireland in. the. royal banner:
while another suggestion was that
the red dragon: should be made a
charge and quartered on the banner.

THE ABYSSINIAN CALENDAR.
Those Of sslnts-nethod OF
Ro0kOnAng THme.

A fearful and wonderful thing is
the Abyssinian calendar. Nearly every
day is saints day, and is known by
its proper name, and not by its date.
For instance, if you ask an Abyssinian
whether certain thing happened on
the 18th of Hadar (the equivalent of
our November 23), he will not under
stand what you mean; but if you say:
"Was it on Abuna Aragawe (the name
for that day. that you stole that
Sheep" compromising smile will
overspread his handsome and intelli-
gent features.
The year is divided into IL months
of 30 days each, and at the end Of the
year, to make up the 3e5 days, are
added five days, called "Quagme."
Each year in succession is called
Matthews, Aarkos, Lukos, Johannis.
Matthews, Markos and Johannis have
each "Quagme" of five days, but
Lukos, or leap year, has "Quagme"
Of six days. The Abyssinian year be-
gins on our September II, and, al
though dating as we do from the birtz
Of Christ, they are nearly eight years
behind us in tims-september II, 1900,
was in their calendar LIST Maskaram,
1893. Their method of reckoning the
hours Of the day is also peculiar, to
our notions. They count the day a. be-
ginning at sunrise, and not at mid.
night, as we do. Thus our seven a. m.
is their IL o'clock day; eight p. m. is
their one o'clock day, and our six p. m.
with us would be two o'clock night
with them, and our four a. m. would be
their ten o'clock night.
