Birds Lived Long in Captivity.

After seventy-fve years of captiv-
ity, female eagle owl has Just died
in an. aviary In England. Brought
from Norway in 1929. this bird within
the last thirty years has reared no
less than ninety young. Although the
eagle owl is reputed to live to great
age, there appear to be but few re-
corded instances where the age could
be definitely ascertained. A golden
eagle which died at Vienna In 1913
was known to have been captured 104
years previously, and a falcon. Of
what species is not recorded. is said
to have attained an age OF 1862 years.

were sure that an English duke

The splendid business capacity of
Monsieur Blanc. who is Monte Carlo.
has led him to make the discovery
that some lucky gamblers have been
taking money away from Monte Car
10. This is a defect in his system
that he intends to remedy, as in his
opinion the Casino company needs
the cash much more than any one
else does
once Investigated the management
of an American circus. Travelling
with it was an assortment of organ
lied swindlers. who paid percentage
of their profits to the boss. There
were the bad money passer, the pick
pocket. the "flim-hammer" or short
change man. and other distinguished
specialists. They made money. plen-
ty of it. But the circus managers
needed that cash. SO they fitted up a
gambling outfit in railway car. and
every night the astute swindlers lost
to the circus owners all they had
won during the day. The strange
part of it is that they all knew they
had no chance; that the odds were
against them, and that the tables
were crooked" was a moral certain
ty. yet they could not resist the temp
tation to gamble.
Without drawing any offensive par
allel between the circus gamblers and
those of Monte Carlo-for 1t would be
neither fair ror true-I may say that
Monsieur Blanc has arranged that as
little money as possible shall be ex-
ported from his principality.
About two hundred active spies are
employed at Monte Carlo. They
throng the gambling rooms, pick up
facts about the players. catch and
expel pickpockets. track persons who
exude counterfeit coins and make
themselves generally useful to their
employers.
One of their duties is to collect
statistics as to how much the big
winners win and what they do with 1t.

And drop the acorn, shed the leaf.

The young medical student was try

nephew. Two-years-old refused TO sit

student to carry stethoscope in his

suNFLowER PHILOSOPHY.

There is such a thing as carrying
your thanks too far.
Ever curse yourself for being a
fool? If you never did. you do not
know yourself.
The man who is afraid his employer
will not give him credit usually
doesn't get much.
There is one thing about the man
who puts his wages in his wlfe's lap:
the money doesn't go into the joints.
Those who complain they have
never received any attention should
stay in the house with the flies on a
rainy day.
You know how quickly you would
drop a red-hot iron. Well. that is just

Der Of the Stock Exchange who has
looted a bank or a customer and is
to be found out next day, should dra-
matically blow his brains out at high
noon in Threadneedle street
AS an Irishman might put 1t. If he
had any brains he would not blow
them out in such public place while
he could avoid all risk of publicity by
doing 1t in Monte Carlo.
There is a paradise for suicides. If
you want to sever your throat or
burn out your digestive apparatus
with carbolic acid until you are quite
deceased. and afterward obtain all
the legal proof you want that you
died of lingering old age. bring your
razor or your acid here with full
confidence that no proof of self-mur-
der will ever be adduced against you.
A man the other evening blew
enough of his head off to effect his
purpose. 1t happened directly in
front of the motor garage, opposite
the end of Ciros Gallery. In few
seconds two men in plain clothes
sprang out-they were Monte Carlo
spies-and whisked the body of into
a shop. whence 1t disappeared in ac-
cordance with a system that works
like a clock. Passers-by who in
quired what the matter was were as
sured that there had only been a dog
fight. and any one who limited at a
suicide was denounced as a danger

In this section Of Pennsylvania there
