Bird or Bee?
Two quaint observations about hum
ming birds are published In “Early
Long Island,” by Martha Flint, both
quoted from letters of the seventeenth
century, written from the new coun-
try of America. Says one
“The Humbird Is one of the wonders
of the country, being no bigger than a
Hornet, yet having all the Demensions
of a Bird as bill, wings with quills,
spider-like legges, small claws. For
Colour she is as glorious as the Ralne
bow."
Adrian Van der Douck, one of the
Hollanders of Nieuw Nederlandt in
1642 writes of a—
“Curious small bird concerning
which there are disputations whether
it is a bird or a bee. It seeks its nour-
ishment froin flowers like the bee and
is everywhere seen regaling itself on
the flowers. In flying they make a
humming noise like the. bee. It is only
seen in Nieuw Nederlandt In the sea-
gon of flowers, They are very tender
and cannot be kept alive, but we press
them between paper and send them as
presents to our friends.”
Value of a Constitution.
It happened in the spring of 1860,
when Garibaldi was pursuing his expe-
dition in Sicily and when the words
“Constitution and Liberty” were on ev-
ery Neapolitan's lips. “Why are you so
anxious for a constitution?” asked a
foreign tourist of his gulde and donkey
driver while they were traveling
through the mountains of Sorrento.
“Well, you see, your excellency,” was
answer, “because I think we shall
It is now close
out my asses to visitors from all coun
tries— English, French, Americans. All
of these have a constitution, and they
are all rich.”
It Didn't Go.
“Lady, I'm out of work,” explained
the tramp, undismayed by the forbid-
ding glare of the lllinols farmer's
wife. “I'm a deep sea fisherman; but
the fish Is all fished out of the At
lantic ocean this year. Beln' a poor,
unfortunate, but honest man, I'm now
on my way walkin' to the Pacific
coast where the fishin’ Is good, Can't
you help a feller along a bit?”
“Yeu, indeed,” replied the farmer's
wife; “I'll just unloose the dog and
help you run part of the way."-Lip-
pincott’s,
Family Repartes.
“Well,” snapped Mrs. Henpeck, “I
certainly was a fool when I married
you."
“True, my dear,” responded Hen:
peck, “and 1 regret to state you
haven't improved any.”-—Detroit Free

Books Bound In Lead.
A bookbinder was putting a binding
of lead on a book.
“WHY lead?” a visitor asked.
“This,” the binder answered, “is a
naval code book for use on a battleship.
All such volumes are bound in lead.”
“But why?”
“So that In the event of the ship's
destruction the books will sink with It,
for they contain secrets of immense
value, and every precaution must be
taken to kedp those secrets dark.”
