PINE TREE BIRDS SHELTER.

Where Feathered Wanderers Sleep in
Winter Partly Explained.
In zero weather, when the night is
pitch dark and there is a piercing wind
driving a piercing snow perhaps you
have wondered, as have, to think how
the little wild birds could manage to
sleep and not freeze nor be covered up
in the snow.
One stormy, winter night While
walking through Central park, New
York city, partly answered the ques-
ton. A branch of a large pine tree
swung close to and little above a
street lamp. The branch and its tWlgS
were quite free from snow, the dense
leaves or needles" forming a roof
above them and catching the snow
which had quickly filled up the spaces
between the slender leaves. Here and
there under the most coy looking OF
the leaf clusters was a little group OF
English sparrows looking as comfort
able as could be
They we're somewhat disturbed by
my pausing to watch them and lew
left to find a perch on some higher
branch. Probably there were scores
of these sparrows in this tree, Tor l
was able to examine only the branch
near the light. Who knows but that
every pine in the park and many a one
in the woods as we'll is a VerltaOle
tenement for the birds.-St. NlchoEas.

RELIGION COSTS a PENSION.
Veteran Converted to Christian Sci
ence Knows He Never Was Injured.

Veteran Converted tc Christian Sci
ence Knows He Never Was Injured.
Whatever ones precOnceived no
tons of mans faith may be one
cannot help but admire a man or
woman who lives up to it to his own
hurt. Allen county has a man who
for many years drew pension in
the belief that he was injured in the
service. that his illness was due to
those injuries, long night marches,
bivouacs on the cold, open plains, and
that he was entitled to a pension. He
had been examined by a pension
board and it had given his claims its
o. . and said that he deserved q pen
sion.
But there came a day when he be-
came a convert to the Christian Sci
ence religion, which taughr. him that
pain was an error, that one never
was sick, but that one merely ruled
matter and that those who believed
they were we'll were well. II he fol-
lowed this belief to the last analysis
he knew that he had not been in
jured in the service, that the lonely
vigils of the camp life could not have
injured him, and that the long march
es were really good for his health,
that to believe he was in poor health
was wrong and he gave mp his pen
sion, saying that he did not de-
serve it.
He was drawing a pension of So a
month when he discovered that he
was a well, strong man. Congress re-
Gently passed a service pension bill
which gives a pension Of So to those
who have passed the age of sixty-two.
He is now sixty-one, and says that
when he reaches the proper age he
intends to make application again for
a pension under this service pill.

CAN'T PUNISH SUICIDE.
II is Therefore Hard to Punish an At

IL is therefore HARD 10 PunlSn an AZ
tempt at Suicide.
The way of the man who commits
or attempts to commit suicide has pre-
sumably been hard; but his way as a
transgressor is not always made hard
err by the law.
In the case of a successful suicide
there is an insuperable difficulty in the
way of punishment. Therefore, says
the American Law Review, the impos-
sibility of furnishing suicide itself may
prevent punishment for an unsuccess-
full attempt.
This is so in Maine, as the result of
a statute providing for the punish
ment Of attempts to commit a crime
which fixes the punishment as one
half of that for the crime itself. There
being no punishment possible for the
crime, there is held to be none for the
attempt
The Maine statutes contain a provl-
sion that where no punishment is pro
vided by statute a person convicted OF
an offense shall be imprisoned for less
than one year or fined not to exceed
$500. The view would seem possible
that as suicide was at common law
punished by forfeiture and ignomlnl-
ious burial, it is still crime and
comes under the punishment provided
by this section; and that while punish
ment can never be inflicted, yet the
half of it is applicable under the statute
first above referred to. Assistance in
the suicide of another, however, is not
to be given with impunity.

CAUSE OF RAIL
ROAD ACCIDENTS

The demoralized condition OF the
railroad service OF the country is
chiefly responsible for the great
number Of railroad accidents. the
worst OF which are so appalling that
they cannot be kept out of the
newspapers, while the lesser ones
OF daily occurrence ecape public no
Itice. II has been asserted by high
railroad authorities that 1t has be-
come habitual to disregard the car
dinal principle OF the block system
which many roads have installed
for purposes OF safety. and to this
fact must be attributed some OF the
recent disasters. But the root OF
the trouble goes much deeper than
the recklessness OF engineers or the
intakes OF signalmen. 1t lies In
&1he bad management that overworks
the train crews. dispatchers and
men on duty in signal towers; that
makes regularity in train running
s Re extreme exception; and that has
& brought American railroading into
he position OF being the most SLOW
