The Queer Parson Bird.

Two splendid male specimens Of the
poe honey eater were recently &C.
quired by the Geological society Of
London, England. Its throat is adorned
with small white feathers which, from
their resemblance to clerical bands,
have gained for 1t the name "parson
bird" Its metallic green plumage,
with bronze and purplish reflections,
is very beautiful. Its long and rather
slender beak is curved; it has rather
large feet, and the length Of its tail is
considerable.
Although somewhat rarely seen In
this country alive, this bird is plentiful
on both the north and south islands Of
New Zealand; 1t is a good songster
and mimic. and its lively temperament
renders 1t a most interesting cage
bird. Its food consists of berries, in.
sects and honey. 1t has an extensile
tongue, the tip Of which is forked, and,
being covered with fibers, forms a
kind Of brush, most useful to the par.
son bird in gathering its food.

motto, "Cultores Veritatis Frauds In.

to its legal experience In exposing

against the paper in that time only
four have resulted in damages. OF
these one turned upon the precise po-
sltion Of village pump, las to which,"
Mr.. Labouchere dryly observes, II was

At Least Cnlookers Did Not Know Of
Conaressman's Misfortune.

Recently member of congress
from Missouri came racing down the
iron steps which led to the train shed
of one of the depots in Washington,
just as the train was pulling out.
The member was stout and per-

bundles, for he was commuter
Everybody got out of his way as he
chased the rear car down the long
platform, some shouting advice and
more or less pleasant comment after
him. Some sportively inclined per-
sons offered bets in loud voice on
his chances of catching the train,
while others laughed at his grim de-
termination.
The member caught the train, be-
ing hoisted upon the platform by a
trainman, without the loss of a bun
die. He shook his fist at the cheer
ing crowd behind him and went in
side the car with the blissful sense
of having won out"
1t was only when the conductor
came around that he learned that he
was on a Chicago express, instead of
a local accommodation. However, he
accepted the situation gracefully, OBJ
serving:
