A Curious Bird Mistake.

Many birds frequentfng flowers for
honey or insects are thus liable to get
their heads covered with pollen. And
since the pollen of different flowers
varies in color, bird may become yell
low headed, red headed, blue headed,
ETC., says the London Globe. This led
to a curious mistake in the case of a
New Zealand bird. This bird was a
honey sucker and haunter of flowers
Now, in the early summer it visited
most frequently the flowers Of the ma
tive fax and later in the year fed chief
ly on the fuchsia. The pollen Of the
former is red and of the latter blue:
hence in the early summer the bird ap-
peared with red head and was nam
ed the red headed honey sucker. But
when later in the year it went to the
7uchsia it's head was stained blue, and
It was called the blue headed honey
sucker. Thus for long time this bird
was thought to be two distinct species.
and only recently was it found that the
red headed and the blue headed were
one and the same and that the real
color of the head was blackish brown

POLITICAL. SPIES.
They Are Quite Common All Over the
Continent of Europe.

They Are Quite Common All Over the
Continent of Europe.
On the continent of Europe it is quite
a common thing for royal personages
to be subjected to espionage, mainly,
of course, for political reasons.
In France, Spain, Russia, Germany
and Austria the practice obtains. At
one time during the reign Of Napoleon
III. small army of political spies was
engaged in watching royal subjects. In
fact, the vigilance Of the different par
ties was so great that there were three
or four distinct secret services. The
emperor had his; the empress had hers;
the government and the republicans
respectively mad theirs-all employed
to watch the other parties and their
spies.
Moreover, Bismarck had his spy over
the emperor. SO that France was over
ridden by spies, the most important,
however, being Bismarck's, to whom
the war was indeed to a great extent
due.
This secret service agent was a Ger
man doctor, whose advice the unfortu-
nate emperor even preferred to that of
his own court physicians, and thus
Bismarck knew even better than Ma
poleon the real state of the latter's
health, which was, of course, very
important factor in the political situa-
ton at those times.-Pearson's Weekly.

sat a little apart from the others and
mopped his forehead. The muscles Of
his arms and shoulders ached from uns

the close cut field his feeling was one
of pleasure.
Two months before as assistant pc
fessor OF political economy in an east

other men were content to take from

shoes were out at heel, his hat almost
rimless and his face tanned to a deeI
bronze.
But Wainwright was young and Wig,
orous and had keen relish for adven
ture He liked the freedom of the high
way, the quest of picking up odd jobs
at the scattered farmhouses along the
route, the deep sleep Of the travel wea-
~ in dim, sweet scented haylofts or.
oftener still in the open, with the stars
shimmering through the branches Of
the trees.
1t was the harvest season. Thee
was work in plenty, and in time Vain
wright quilted his hand to mouth vag
abondage for the SOLDERING occupation
of harvester on the Rolfe farm, where
he was to receive a dollar a day and
bed and board. The first mornings
labor had proved more eXhausting
than he had anticipated. but Vain
wright kept on doggedly, though each
hour added fresh blisters to his hands
and made the scythe seem heavier to
WELD The midday rest brought an
ecstasy of relief.
'"This." thought Wainwright as he
stretched himself in the shade-'thia
is worth a dozen hotel verandas" The
rustic of leaves. the talk of the men
near by and the drone of insects
through the warm air all blended into
a confused murmur. An unconquerable
drowsiness stole over him.
won't you have some dinner?' said
a voice beside him. and Wainwright
opening his eyes, looked up at a girl
who might have been Priscilla, so de
mure was her blue dress and white
kerchief. She wore a frilled sunbon-
net, and Wainwright wished that he
might see the face it hid, but his de-
sire remained ungratifed, for after
serving him the girl turned her atten
ton to the next man and from that
went impartially down the line. The
men fell to at once. Wainwright alone
stared after the sunbonneted figure
that tripped across the field and took
the orchard path leading to the Rolfe
farm.
That night as he took his seat among
the harvesters that clattered around
the Rolfes' supper table he saw with
quickening interest that the girl of the
noon hour was fitting about the kitch-
en-, passing huge platters Of bread and
stone jugs of foaming milk. Vain
wright had leisure to observe that she
had brown eyes and wavy brown hair
coiled low upon her neck.
When supper was over the other
farm hands strolled off toward the
barn. Wainwright fingered.

The queen Of spiders-the largest
handsomest and most capable work
man of her tribe-is the orange-yellow
and black creature known as orange
argiope. Hers are the most beautiful
cobwebs made, hung low to catch the
innumerable insects required for q
rather large appetite. and you find
them among the bushes and vines and
in the fields. Argiope captures and ties
up her victims as ably as a cowboy
might do with a lasso, and she excels
the cowboy by manufacturing her own
