THE PRISON BIRD.
This African Beauty Seals His Mate
Up In the Nest.

The popularity of the prison bird, q
feathered beauty OF Africa, is that
he Is the most tyrannical and jealous
Of husbands, imprlsonlng his mate
throughout her nesting time. Living
stone watched the birds habits while
In Monpour and in his subsequent OBJ
servations referred to the nest as a
prison and the female bird as slave.
The nest Is built In the hollow Of a
tree through an opening in the bark.
As soon as it as completed the mother
bird enters carefully and fearfully and
settles down in it. Then papa walls
ND the opening, leaving only just space
enough for air and food to pass through.
He keeps faithful guard and brings
food Mt regular intervals without fall.
The female thrlves under her enforced
retirement. But If the prison bird Is
killed or in any other way prevented
from fulfilling his duties the mother
and her little ones must die of starva-
ton. for she cannot free herself from
bondage.
Normally the Imprisonment lasts I'M
i'll the chicks are old enough to fly.
Then the male bird destroys the bar
rier with his beak and liberates his
family. ut is charming" writes Liy-
ingstone, "to see the joy with which
the little prisoners greet the light and
the unknown world"

WRITE IN SECRET.
The Way Chinese Court Historians Do
Their Work.

Their Work.
There are court historians in China,
ms there are in other countries, but
there is one striking difference, and 1t
lies in the fact that the work OF the
Chinese court historians does not see
the light until the reigning dynasty
comes to an end.
In this way these Celestial historians
have an opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
valorous rulers and the real signifi-
canoe of the events which take place
during their regime They can write
what they please without fear OF cen
sure. for they know that their work
will not be published as long as the
reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years, the first court historian
having been appointed by the impe-
rial house of Han, which reigned from
2O6 B. c. until % \. d.
The duty of these historians is TO
write plain accounts of all the events
that occur during their tenure Of Of
fee. At regular intervals their COM
pleted work is taken from them and Is
locked up in an iron safe or vault.
There it remains until the first mem
Der of a new dynasty ascends the
throne.
1t is then given with all the other
histories in the vault to the court
historian. who is then living, and from
the mass of documents he is expected
70 nrepare a truthful history of the
DYNASTY which has just expired

BROKE UP THE ARMY.
q Mean Trick That Demoraized the
Haitian Troops.


When not fighting or drinking the
Haitian negro spends his tipe lying
in the sun smoking innumerable ciga-
rettes. All over the island the roads
made originally by the Spanish and
French have fallen into ruin, and the
thick forests in the interior are peo
pied by depraved savages.
A story told by Mr. Sandman, the
we'll known American artist, illustrates
the then state of discipline which pre-
vailed among the 5000 rufians who
bore the courtesy title Of "the army"
Mr.. Sandman and an Irish friend
who resided in the island were one day
watching the commandanta of the Hal
tian army reviewing his troops.
would you like to see me break W
the whole LOTT" asked the Irishman.
"Of course" replied the artist.
The Irishman then took five silver
coins from his pocket and, with a loud
shout, threw them up in the air. In
stantly the whole army leaped forward
and scrambled for the money, the com
mandanta himself securing the first
three pieces. After pocketing then
with dignity and restoring order among
his men he ordered the Irishman to DC
arrested for bringing discredit on the
army. The freshman was sentenced tC
three weeks Imprisonment, but five
pieces Of silver and bottle of rum Sc
cured his instant release.
