not the point. They had to 90 by the

MONOPOLY IN RUNNING BIRDS
America Is the Only Continent Where
They Are Found.

Though the art museums of Europe
may have some treasures of which
America cannot boast, our continent
has the distinction of monopoly of
the worlds supply Of humming birds.
the gems OF all the feathered creation
or these there are said to be some
400 species-the 400 we may well call
them!-nearly all of which are pecu-
liar to the tropical regions. Only IS
cross the borders of the United States
from Mexico, and occur only in our
southwestern states.
The popular idea is that the hum.
mer lives only on honey, gathered
from flowers. This is mistake. The
bird does secure some honey. but its
food consists mainly of the small in
sects which frequent the flowers.
Some of these insects are injurious to
the blossom. and the tiny birds fulfills
useful function in destroying them.
That the hummer is insectivorous is
also shown by its habit of catching
tiny insects on the wing, which is oc.

skRlMLEWs ONE QUEER TRAIT.
Pink Of Neatness in Every Other Way,
He Never Brushes His Hat,

Il suppose" said Mr. MacBlink,
that we all have our little peculiari-
ties, but some of them do seem queer.
You take. for instance, the one odd
thing about my friend Skrimley.
Now, Skrimley is a man very scru-
pulous in all the ways of personal
cleanliness, daily bath, constant fresh
linen, clothes always in perfect order
and always brushed, and his shoes al
ways cared for in like manner: but
he never brushes his hat. and that I
have never been able to account for.
Anybody that didn't know Skrim-
ley that saw him going around with
that hat of his all covered with dust
would think he was, so to speak,
dusty all over and all through. a man
in every way careless about his per-
son; but the facts are as | have
stated them, he is actually the very
opposite OF personal dustiness, in
everything but his hat
Somehow he doesn't seem to care
how that looks. and when he comes
to that he just let's II go. Just why
he does this | don't know; | suppose
it's lust Skrimley's little popularity

Matchmakers In Dilemma.

Belgian maidens have awakened be-
times to the danger of two impor.
tant events clashing this year. The
Spinsters' Matrimonial club has its an
nual banquet, to which eligible bach.
elors are invited, fixed for June at
Ecaussines-Lelaing. in Hainaut. At
this banquet the chief business is ar.
ranging marriages.
1t now appears that June Is the
date fixed for the provincial elections;
but the president of the spinsters'
club has already pointed out TO the
local deputy that the latter date must
be changed, and II he fails she will
petition the government to get the
date of the elections altered.
The matter is regarded seriously by
the club, as voting in Belgium Is com.
pulsory for everybody. including
eligible bachelors.

Soldiers and Sailors Bank Deposits

It's odd. the different sources of
bank deposits remarked George
Lomnitz. For example" he said. I'VE
receive thousands Of dollars every
year from Cleveland men In the army
and navy The amounts range from
five dollars month from privates to
$50 or more from some of the officers.
Most Of this is sent to us direct by
the paymaster of the army or navy as
the case may be. Just now we are
getting a lot of money from men in
the navy on this cruise to the Pacific.
The paymaster makes out list of
the various deposits and sends along
check to cover the total amount.
Thus the men draw their pay and de-
post 1t without ever seeing it. Their
pass books, In good many cases. are

SEEMED RATHER LIKE A PLOT.
A Matter Of Psychology Relating TO
Liquor and Mnemonlcs.

The retrospective man said. Il
heard a good story the other day.
Wait a minute and I'll tell 1t to you"
Then he sat and thought for almost
ten minutes before he remarked:
NO, it's no use. can't think of It

Fewer Works OF Fiction.

1t is interesting TO notice that fewer
new works OF fiction were issued last
year than in the year before. The
modest total OF 2,10S in 1906 fell to
1,s62 in 1907. Theology, however,
went up considerably and one may
imagine that literature dealings with
the new theology may have taken the
place of fiction.
History and biography leaped from
541 to 713 or including new editions
from 64l to S73. This. too, must have
helped to account for the falling OFF

to get down. the boy lost his hold and
fell and broke his leg. His father is
now suing the hired man for damages.
II is not contended that the boy had
any legal right up the tree. and 1t is
not denied that the hired man had a
legal right to drive him away; but the
point the father wants to make Is that
