Goner,.l Sir Herbert Kitchener, the Slydar commanding the Anglo-Egyp- tian expedition In the Sudan, is evi- dently a man of resource, if a story told by him be true. The Sidar Is a tall, dark-skinned man who in disguse would easily pass for a native, 'and his knowledge of the character of the tribes a of their language, gives him an adva age 'in dealing with•the peo- plea. At o e of his camps on the Nile, so runs t e story two Arab date-selletra were on a certain occasion arrested, being suspected of being spies. They were confined in the guard tent, and were not long left alone, foil soon af- ter their detention a third Arab pri- soner was unceremoniously bundled in- to t he, tent. Thereupon an animated jabbering began, and was carried on for a few minutes. The two prisoners were by no means reticent in the presence of one of their own race, who was, 'like 1 hemselves, a prisoner, and they let tbgir tongues wag fast. After a few minutes' conversation the sentry was surprised to see the latest. arrival draw aside and step out. "All right, sentry," he said. " I am going to the! genera. It was Kitchener, and had himself in- vestigated the case to see that justice was done). A few minutes more passed, and nguin the door was opeded. This lime an orderly appeared. He banded a spade to each of the prisoners, and', then they were marched to dig their own graves, and shot. They were, in truth, as had been suspected, spies, and the general had convinced himself of the facet. 1 r WHEN BIRrDO BEGIN TO SING. An English ornithologist, having in- vestigated the question of at what hour in summer the commonest small birds wake up and sing, states that the greenfinch is the earliest riser, as it pipes as early as 1.30 in the morning, the �blackpap beginning at about 5.30. It is nearly 4 o'clock, and the sun is well above the horizon, before the first real songster appears in the person of the blackbird. He is beard half an hour before the thrush; and the chirp of the robin begins about the same length of time before that of the wren. b'inally, the house sparrow and the tomtit occupy the last place, on the list, This investigation has altogeth- er ruined the lark'a reputation for early rising, Tliat mueb-celebrated bird iB quite 6. sluggard, as it does not rise until long after the ohaffinches, lin- nets and a number of hedgerow birds have been up and about.
