The brilliantly plumed birds OF the
tropical forests are exposed TO many
dangers, and IL they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful instincts they
would fall ready victims to their enc
miles, Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their offspring are preyed upon by
foes on every side. But it takes n sly
monkey or snake to get ahead of the
tailor bird, small East Indian sing
ing bird. She hides her nest so skill
fully that her enemies cannot find It,
no matter how hard they try. This
she does by using her long. slender
bill az a needle. With the tough fiber
of q parasite plant abundant In the
tropics as a thread she sews dead
leaf taken from the ground to q llv-
ing one near the end Of a slender and
hanging branch, and between these
leaves she builds her nest, where neil
ther monkey nor snake can approach,
because the branch will not bear their
weight.

The Literar, chap In Finance.


II know literary chap, good writer
and all that, but with absolutely no
business sense, who suddenly decided
the thing for him to do was to start q
bank account" said the secretary Of a
financial institution. HE came In to
see me about 1t. / asked him how
much he had, and he said he had saved
$50. I told him we rarely started ac-
counts on such small deposits, but
would make an exception in his case
to encourage thrift and school him In
business.
'He went through the preliminaries
nervously, signed the signature card,
put his money in and got nice new
bank book. BY that time he was all
hustered. They gave him check book,
and he decided he would have to have
some money for present use. The re-
ceiying teller introduced him to the
paying teller, and he inquired the
procedure Of checking out money. The
paying teller explained at length. Then
my literary friend went over to the
desk and wrote check for his entire
$50, got the money and went out"

the guardian of law and order and re-
auested to give his name. II he has
his papers with him the policeman may
then and there impose n fine OF from
/ to 3 marks. III then he admits that
he is in the wrong and pays the fine
the incident is closed. If, however, he
wishes to appeal from the policeman's
decision he may do SO. Even in that
case he Is not arrested, but day or
two later he Is notified to appear In
court and answer to the charge against
him. But then IL he is found guilty
the lowest fine that can be imposed
In 3 marks. That this custom OF per-
mitting the policeman personally to I'M
pose small fines Is little understood by
foreigners is shown by remark MADE
to me by a gentleman who had lived
in Germany the greater part Of his life
and in Dresden for a number OF years
In reply to my inquiry as to whether
there was ever any question OF cor
ruption in the police department he re-
piled:
"No; none whatever as far as the
higher officers are concerned. The In
diyidual men, however, may be bribed
occasionally. For instance, If were
to walk ON the grass in the Grosser
garten and policeman caught me at
~s<zF=xvrv55B r4v-o- syss55 Sysrrfr or w.
and that would end the matter. PHIL
