with rapture, that perhaps a day might

the door. and paused. Two men were talk-

“ If you could but writ a little,“ she heard
hir‘msay.
“ Well, I have waited, haven‘t I ?" replied
the other voice. “ I know you mean well ;

She, for'her part, went into the room all
tremiiloiis with surprise and grief, and could
hardly utter her usual greeting.
She looked at hlr. Buckle as he laid out
the pattern. and tested the shade of the
color in her palette cups, thinking what a
fine, kind, pleasant face his was.
She noticed, too, that_ the braid that
tmund his coat was worn out, and that his
knees were shiny.
Then he came around the table, and for
the first time out down beside her.

“Oh. that can‘t he!" cried Bliss Elim

“Oh, yes, indeed,“ said Mr. Buckle.

the Lovely Bonn-In. Blrda.
During the last two or three yearn, or
since fickle minded fashion has dettecd that
birds as well as feathers should be used to
ornament the heads of the elite. of feminine
society, a new source of revenue has been
opened to the natives of, Southern Cali-
fornia. Santa Barbara, being “ the land of
flowers,“ is necessarily the home of the
delicate little humming bird, which lives
upon the distilled pollen or bee food of our
. gaudiest flora. In a glass case upon the
counter within the drug store of A. M.
Ruiz was discovered two rows of dead hum-
ming birds, each with their little “ feet
turned up to the daisiea" “ The trade is a
recently developed one," said Mr. Ruiz.
“ It is less than three years old, but it is
steadily growing. “'9 do not propose to
engage very largely in it, as it is not exactly
in our line, which is drugs and perfumery ;
but we find a profitable market for all we
can obtain.“
“ How do you obtain these humming
birds 2'" queried the reporter.
“ The little boys bring them in. There
are four or five little Californians who live
i in or near town who are experts with slung~
shots, 3 skillfully manipuhitedimpmvement
upon the contrivance used by David to kill
Goliath. Small pebbles or a teaspoonful of
small bird shot is used, and when propelled
by our little humming bird hunters bring
in on an average about live birds a day.“
" “'hy do they not use nets? It would
not destroy or injure the delicate plumage
of these little bin ."
“ Nets would be better, I believe, but the
little Spanish children are used to their
little sling shots, and are as skillful with
them us are their fathers with the tiara, and
woe to the humming bird at which one of
these little boys discharges a charge of peb-
bles or bird shot."
“ Is there money in the business ?"
“ No, not worth speaking of. I pay from
ten to fifteen cents each for the bird, and
then I draw and stuff them and ship them
to San Francisco. Then I am paid at the
rate of fifty cents each for the female com-
mon bird and git‘l‘t‘lllydll't‘ cents each for
those male birds of the brilliant plumage.“
“ Is there more than one variety of burn-
ming bird in the market 2'“
“ Yes. we haw four. There is the
‘ tlery,‘ or that bird you see there with the
red flaming throat. Then there is the sul-
phureited or yellow hronzed bird. Next
the ordinary male. which has a green and
red plumage, andllast the brown, unbronzed
female bird."
“ What is the extent of the trade 1‘"
“ Last year we sent 03' lcsvthan a thou-
sand birds. “'0 could have found a market
for three times the number exported."
In continued convcmition it was discov.
cred that while San Francisco- obtains a
large proportion of these delicate little
birds, the best and prettiest are selected and
shipped direct to the fashion centres in
Paris and London, where they command a
high price. ~St'mta Barbara Prizes.
THIRTEEN YEARS IN HISTORY.
The London Standard says : Thirteen
years is a considerable span, and it is thir~
teen years since Sedan was fought and won
by unit/ed Germany, or by Germany bent
upon being united. Since then nothing has
occurred to reverse or seriously to modify
the results of that victory. “'hat seemed

Louis XIV. were annulled within the space

why the suddennem of his apparition as a
military arbiter, and his glory was, for a
time. as great as his genius. But within far
less than thirteen years of his demise the
military position and warlike reputation of
Prussia hifd disappeared, and the COqumltl~
era of the armies of Republican France were
overturning Europe. People are accustom-

French Empire did not last for anything
like so protracted a term as the’ thirteen

fought. To some of us the news of the de-

the Mouse, and the giving up of his sword

in the interval there has been time for the
rise and fall of two or three Dynasties, and

‘ “ What can you expect of those fellow!

or perhaps properly speaking reptileman,
starts for the green marshes with his long-

one of the famous frog " who would a-woo—

TALK ABOUT BEARDS.

The early Romans considered a full heard

term “ barbarian,“ which was applied by
the Romans to almost every race outside
their own, has been confounded with the
beard, especially as the word was used as a
reproach to any one who wore hair upon
his face, and some suppose that the barber
of today obtained his male from that root
