PL.UMAGE CAUSED THE ERROR
Were Wrong in Idea About New
Zealand Bird.

Since birds ~frequenting flowers for
honey or insects are apt to get their
neaGs covered with pollen, and since
lie pollen Of different flowers varies
III color, a bird may become yellow
headed, red-headed, bl~ue-headed, etc,
according to season. This circum-
stance led to a curious mistake in the
case of a New Zealand bird, a honey
sucker and a hunter of flowers. In
the early summer it visited most fire.
quently the flowers of the native flax,
and later in the year fed chiefly on
the fuchsia. The pollen of the former
Is red, and of the latter blue. Hence
In the early summer the bird appeared
with a red head and was named the.
r%ed-headed honeysucker. But when,
later in the year, 1t went to the fuch-
STA, it's head was stained blue, and It
! was called the blue-headed honey
sucker.
Thus for a long time this bird was
thought to be of two distinct species,
and only a year or two ago was 1t
found that the "red-haaded" and the
"blue-headed" were n and the same,
and that the real color of the head
was blackish brown.-Harper's Week

In Paris dwells a la interested in
rare and exotic plants, says the Chris

In the Amazon brought him home q
rare tree. In the winter he keeps 1t
at the dollhouse, but when summer
comes he carries it into his garden.
So beautiful is the bloom that he gave
garden parties that men might behold
the %wondrous flower. One summers
day he noticed a strange thing that
set his pulses throbbing-a singular
fruit had begun to set. Sending for
an expert, they took counsel togeth-
or. They knew that this was the
only tree OF the kind in Paris. and
they could not understand from
whence had come the pollen that had
fertilized the plant. At length they
published the story in the papers, and
that story brought the explanation.
A merchant wrote that years before
he had brought to Marseilles a young
plant from the Amazon. The pollen
of that tree nearly four hundred miles
away, had been carried on the wings
Of the wind over hill and vale and
found out the blossom that awaited

Drunken MONKEYS,

According to a recent letter from
the Congo region on the west coast
of Africa, the monkeys there are in
o%rdinately fond Of a kind of beer
made by the natives, who use the
beverage to capture their poor rela-
tions. Having placed Quantities OF
beer where the monkeys can get at
1t, the natives wait until their victims
are in various degrees Of inebriation,
and when they mingle with them the
poor creatures are too much fuddled
to recognize the difference between
negro and ape. When a negro takes
the hand of one of them to lead him
off some other fond creature clings to
the hand of the latter one, and anoth-
or to MS hand; thus a single negro
may sometimes be seen carrying off
e str ng of staggering monkeys.
When secured, the beer is admins.
tered in decreasing quantities, so that
they may only gradually awaken to
the sad results of their spree.

bees flying around it. Que of the

tree vas chopped down it was
found 70 BIZ hollow aud loaded with
honey, some Of which was so old
as TO be worthless ; however they
procured a wash boiler and three
ten quart pals full Of fine clear
honey.
There was an old crows nest in
the dead top and as Anderson was

The ceremony opened with an invo-
cation by Right Rev. Monsignor Cor.

commend the patriotic spirit which
has inspired them to make this gift
and to place it on this monuments

Difference Between Latin, Greek and

Difference Between Latin, Greek and
St. Andrews.
Do you know the difference between
the Latin, Greek and st. Andrews
crosses? Many grown people do not,
and it is reasonable to assume that
the younger readers may need the
information. The Latin cross is the
one with which we are all familiar.
The lower limb is a good deal longer
than the other three limbs. The
Greek cross, on the contrary, has all
the limbs Of equal length-two pieces
crossed in the middle at right angles.
st. Andrews cross is in the form of
the letter x. The Greek cross is some
times called the cross of St. George,
and is blended with that of St. And
rev to form the nag called the
Union Jack.

FUNERAL OF BIG
TIM SULLIVAN
All Glasses Join III Paying Tribute to
Memory Of Timothy D. Sullivan.

New York, Sept. 15.-"Big Tim" Sui
livan's body was taken early today to
the old Cathedral of st. Patrick, a
quarter of a mile from the rooms of
the association bearing his name,
where it had lain in state since Satur-
day. Tens of thousands of men and
women from every section Of New
York gazed on his features there and
a throng followed the body today to
the cathedral and to its last resting
place in Calvary cemetery, Brooklyn.
"A delegation of congressman, headed
by Representative Kinkead Of New
Jersey, led the mourners. Behind this
delegation marched the longest funer-
al train the East Side has ever seen.
The streets through which they pass
ed were sombre with crepe draped on
the shop windows. The Timothy D.
Sullivan association sent thousands to
march behind the body Of its standard
bearer, each man with a bit of crepe
on his sleeve. Dozens of other East
Side organizations and the army of
the Bowery's poor were also in the
line.
In the army that passed by his bier
as the body lay in state men in silk
hats rubbed shoulders with Bowery
tramps and women in silks and furs
mingled with their poorly clad sisters
from the tenements. Many wept as
they passed the coffin.
