LONGEVITY OF BIRDS.

An instance was recorded in
German paper recently of the shoot
ing of crow with ring on its leg
bearing a date Of over hundred
years ago. In the same week resi-
dent in one Of the English counties
wrote 10 the ornithological press
putting ON record the coming Of age
Of his Glyiark. The letter brought
to Light the fact that if II years is
not exactly q common age for a lark
il Is by no means unique. An Ameri-
can writer says he has owned ca
naries that exceeded the Al years of
the skylark, and one bullfnch he
possessed reached the age of 16
wears. Exhibition or "fancy" bred

WHERE He WANTED TO Be
Broker Wins Pool and How He Won
Causes Astonishnent At
Home.

Rev. Charles G. Earle OF Boston
counts the following as the best aft
er-dinner story he ever heard Dur
ing the last financial panic num-
Der Of young Wall street brokers
we're going to lunch and were feel
ing pretty blue over the bad straits
the panic had placed them in. One
wished he was in Halifax and an
other in Africa. Finally the six
agreed to make pool Of IS each,
the money to 90 to the man who best
answered where he would like to be
in the time of trouble. They sat
down to lunch, and each told where
he would like TO be in the time Of
trouble. One wanted to be in Eu-
rope, another in Canada, another
in gay Paree, and so on. The last
to answer said soIemnly, In the
time of trouble I want to be in my
wife's arms" He was awarded the
money, which he took home and
gave to his wife, telling her how he
had won, only that in telling the
tale he changed my wife's arms"
TO Church As ne never went to
church, she was very much surprised
that he should make any such an
swer. While out walking the next
day she met several of the brokers,
and they congratulated her on her
husband winning the pool eyes"
wiley replied, ''but, you know, the
funny part of it all is that he has
only been where he said he wanted
to be but twice in his life, once be-
fore we were married and once
after" The brokers all laughed
heartily, and the lady, too, although
she did not see the joke in the same
light the brokers did--kansasi City
Star.
