A weu-Earned Punishment.

1t Is refreshing, sometimes, to know
Of swift retribution following a prac-
teal joke The mischief-maker whose
exploit Is related by Jenny NJ. Parker
In her STORY OF Rochester" got no
more than he deserved, and got il at
once. The time and place were at the
celebration of the completion OF the
grand enbankment on the Erie canal,
Or as it was Familiarity called, "Clin-
tons Big Ditch"
The commissioners were to pass over
this part of the canal in a special boat,
and there was great turnout to see
them. Up and down the bank rode
mounted officers, plumed and butto1ed,
in spotless uniform.
The famous embankment was fifteen
hundred feet long and eighty feet high,
and was one Of the remarkable features
Of the canal. At each end Of the en-
bankment were stop-gates, in case of a
break. II they were called into use
they could be lifted instantly by some
Dne jumping into the water and start
ing them by the weight. Otherwise 1t
took several minutes to set the mecha1-
ism In action. This fact offered an OPP
portunity for heroism; a chance to win
glorious fame by saving the country
from inundation.
AS the time grew near for the COM
missioners to put in an appearance. the
crowd grew Jenser. While they were
waiting, and getting a little impatient
at the delay, shrill cry rose from the
embankment:
Its going. It's going It's break
Ing awayi'
Instantly there was a panic, aid the
crowd scampered in all directions. The
smartly arrayed officers did not forget
their duty as servants of the public.
Into the canal they leaped, and in
trice the gates sprang up. The new
uniforms were, soaked and the plumes
spoiled.
1t did not take long to discover that
the alarm was false. Then the crowd
turned and pursued the perpetrator.
They found him hiding and trembling
In terror. and carried him TO the mill
flume, where they threw him in, to let
him struggle out as best he could.
After that righteous judgment they
returned in good season to see the COM
missioners pass.

While European and Asiatic coun-
tries have forms of animal and bird
life TO be found nowhere else, the
American continent seems to possess
an exclusive monopoly Of hunming
birds. OF the four hundred odd vari-
cites nearly all are to be found in the
tropical regious. Only eighteen cross
the borders of the United States from
Mexico, and all but one or two vari
cites spend their summers i'm the south
ern states. While this tiny bird does
secure some honey from flowers, Its
food consists chiefly of small insects
which are found In the vicinity of flow
er beds, many of which are injurious TO
the flowers. Thus In the case of this
smallest representative of bird life II
seems to have been created not only as
a thing of beauty, but for the perform
ance of a helpful mission.
