That they still have their us In the original sense, however, wan demonstrated recently by one employer a grocer who was telling his story over the counter the other evening to a belated customer. "Last summer, the gTOcer said, my family was living down at the beach and I used to leave early in order to get down there for a late dinner. I had a clerk that 1 trusted to lock up and put the money In the safe. Naturally the cash - register would show in the morning what he had rung up. For a few days I thought it was working fine. He was a good clerk and I thought he was honest. Then when 1 got to thinking about it I decided be was too honest. For tea days that register and the cash agreed to a penny. Now thats better than I could make It do myself. It aint nat oral.. Then I decided to try a little scheme. Just before I left I rang up $2.75 on the register and put nothing In the till. Next morning the cash and the register agreed .as usual. That was enough for me. Any man who Is so honest he will make up mistakes out of his pocket must have plenty of money to do It with.

Ella Wtster Haines In Christian Herald. shut-ins- also-tha- t The literary history of the raven begins with Noah and Elijah. Naturalists call him the most wary, the most amusing, the cleverest of birds. He has also been described as grave, dignified and sedate and many Instances have been given of the peculiarities of this historical bird. The bill of the raven Is a formidable weapon strong, stout, sharp at the edges, curved toward the tip. It Is his one weapon of offense, but It answers the purpose of two or three. Like the dirk of the oldtime plainsman. It Is equally available as a dagger or as a carving knife. It can also be used as a pair of pincers. It can kill a rat at one blow. The raven can drive Its beak right through the seines of a hedgehog. It Is said that the raven will never attack a man.' If this be true, it Is, it is thought, not so much from any defect of courage as from the bird's keen Intellectual perception of what will pay and what will not. Like most of his tribe, the raven Is, In the strictest sense of the word, omnivorous. His dietary ranges from a worm to a whale." When his nest is built, as it generally Is, beneath some overhanging rock which quite conceals It from view from above, its position may sometimes be discovered by the remains of rabbit neatly laid In the short grass at the top of the cliff In what might be called his "larder. But a larder Implies an amount of economy and that it is not In the raven to practice. In districts where food Is scarce the ravens will attack without Bcruple a newly born lamb or even a sheep that has been cast self-restrai- Birds That Burrow. Persons are not accustomed to think of birds as burrowing animals, but the puffin answers to that description. It is a chunky little fowl, less than a foot high, with a large and powerful beak. For a home It scratches a hole-Ithe ground sometimes as much as four feet deep. To capture a puffin one must go digging. It Is rather a Job; and, Inasmuch as the bird bites and claws fiercely, one ,ls likely te suffer In the process. Thus the creature has maintained its numbers on m&ny a lonely rockery, where other species of wild fowl have been killed off and exterminated. Your Blrthstons.
