Mans Debt to the Birds.

The lovers of birds who denounce
the wanton slaughter of these among
the most beautiful of Gods creatures
too frequently confine themselves to
he sentimental aspect of the case The
sentiment, indeed, which they invoke
is powerful and wholesome enough,
but 1t by no means constitutes the
whole of the argument on behalf OF
our feathered friends. Science comes
forward to supplement that argument.
1t furnishes striking proof of the en-
ormous debt that we owe to the birds,

300 people will each win a box con

1t is really a most fascinating bit OF

A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape- Nuts
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabet;cal
classes, all those beginning with A to-
together and those beginning with e to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces In the A &.
and other columns to fill in later as new
words come to you. for they will spring
into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of words a plainly written letter

Criminals.

Criminals.
In the central prison of Fontevrault,
France, well educated and well
born criminal, who has yet two years
or Imprisonment to serve for the il
legal sale of decorations, has just
been married to the girl of his heart,
an actress who, betrothed to him in
MS prosperous days, had refused to
desert him when under a cloud. The
bridegroom was supported by his best
man, the prison barber.
A unique marriage took place at
manchester year ago or SO ago be-
tween young gypsy named Ashton,
who was under arrest for desertion
from his regiment, and pretty
gypsy girl of IS. Through the kind
ness of the police authorities the
ceremony was celebrated in a local
church. Detective Clynes, who had
arrested the bridegroom, acted as best
man. On the party's return to the
police station an excellent wedding
breakfast awaited them, at the con-
clusion Of which the unwelcOme es-
cort made its appearance, and, amid
the tears Of the bride, the newly mar
ried husband was taken away.
About the same time Paris was the
locale OF a somewhat similar episode.
when one Leca, the chief of the
Apache, as the Partisan hooligans
are termed, was united to a female
member of the band named Vanmaer
Manacled and handcuffed, Leca was
conveyed to the church, where, with
two wardens as best men and sur
rounded by gendarmes, who, with
drawn sabres and loaded revolvers,
precluded any attempt at rescue, the
marriage service was duly read. On
their return to jail they were allowed
three-Quarters Of an hour for leave
taking ere Leca started on his long
journey to French Guiana, where.
should she wish, his wife might sub
sequently join him.
The prison of La Sainte, Paris, was
the scene Of marriage between an
anarchist named Bricou and his
sweetheart, one Marie Delange They
received the utmost kindness at the
hands Of the officials, by whose per-
mission they breakfasted together
with the brides parents.
When they were afterward separ-
ated it was with the promise that,
conditionally on the mans good be-
havior, they should rejoin each other
