THE NIGHTING'ALE‘,
The Bird is Not. Shy, and Its Song is Not
Cli-ivfly Reserved {mime Night.
The uightinggale does not sing every-
where, yet, it is as great a mistake '0
consider the bird shy as to imagine its
song is chiefly reserved for the night.
' He will sing continually from one .1t‘
'the oaks bordeIing the wayside while
the village folks pass and Icpass. " he
village couples may rest upon the foot-
stile 01 linger to listen beneath 111.1
very t1 eon which the biId is stat: 01:11.1.
Still the full burden of melody goes on
unchecked, without pause or intermis-
sion. And what a glorious outburst it
is! What a perfect cascade of trills
Sud-
denly it is pierced 'by a single note that
shivers in the ear with the sharpI1-e.,;s,
of a fife.. Immediately after comes the
wondrous water bubble, to be followed
by a dblicious warble, long drawn out
and soft as could be breathed from the
richest flute. Another prolonged trill,
and then a far-of sound that almost
seems to come from another songster
half a mile away, serves to throw into
relief the passionate tremulo issuing
from the same tiny throat; and all the
time the wings are quivering with ex-
citement, and the whole coppice seems"
indeed, a'
to vibrate. The song is,
whole orchestra of bird music. Ex-
pressive if every shade of ecstacy, we
are at times startled by a successionof
deep, plaintive tones that thrill like
sobs. No wonder the nightingale’s
singing season is brief—six weeks only
of the entire year. Nay, it is doubtful
whether any, individual bird sings for
so long a period. The redwing, anoth-
er fine singer, is a similar instance of
the limited period of song. Its voice in
this country is confined to two notes,
and these by no means musical. Yet
the redwing is the nightingale of Nor-
way, to which land he returns for
breeding purposes each succeeding
So with our nightingale. From

comes gradually silent, until of the

LIKE THE SIAMESE TWINS.
Two Little Girls That-«are Bound by a Sim~
ilar Tie.
-A new pair of twins rivalling the Si-
, amese twins which Barnum made fa-
mous a generation ago, has been dis-
covered. They are known as the Oris-
sa twins, and are joined to each other
in a manner resembling the ties unit-
ing Chang and Eng.
As objects of popular interest they
are infinitely more attractive than the
Siamese twins ever were. Chang and
Eng were males, ugly enough to stop
clocks, rather sullen in temper, and
generally looking an unspOken kick
against the created order of things.
But these charming little girls seem to
find existence all a summer day, full
of delight. They were born in. the
most poverty—stricken, downtrodden
and hopelessly miserable class of In-
Orthodox Brahmins-
affect to prove out of the Vedas that
neither women nor pariahs have souls,
and that it is unlawful for this wretch~
ed caste—whose touch is contamina-
tion—to even listen to the reading of
the sacred law.
They were born on September 19,
1889, in the hamlet of No-ah-parra, in
the province of Orissa, British India.
Their father was an ignora:1 at man,
who knew nothing of the market value
of the freaks, and so superstitious that
he saw a manifestation of the evil one
in everything out of the common run
of his experiences, in which he was by
no means unique, some very good peo-
ple, even in more enlightened lands,
being of that way of thinking. He be-

little ones became a source of revenue

A LIVING KITE.
Experiment to Determine the. Efi’ect of.
\Vind Upon a Soaring' Machine.
In France a living kite has been'seen
in which a man formed a part. It was
in the course of a series of experi-
ments to determine the effect of wind
upon a soaring machine. A gigantic
kite had been made, on the face- of
which a man stood, his feet wide apart,
and resting upon braces for the pur-
pose, while ’with his hands he clasped
two straps.
high and made of cloth. The first at-
tempt to fly it was made on an exposed
section of the coast, w‘ ere the wind
blew in over a lake. A large parachute
was attached to the frame of the kite,
to‘ which the man was supposed to
cling in case of a fall. Everything be-
ing ready, the kite was braced. against
the Wind the man took his place, and
fifty men ran against the wind with
the rope, many more holding the
tail. The wind caught the
enormous surface, and amid loud
cheers from the spectators, the man
rose ten feet from the surface and
there remained, held by the men at the
tail. Slowly the latter released the
rope, and gradually the kite rose, prov-
ing beyond question that a man could
ascend in this fashion. It was such a
hazardous and uncertain experiment
that a very high» flight was not at-
tempted—New York Sun.

Valuable Advice from ti 9 Bunch.
A country Justice had been elected
but a few days, when a young lawyer
rushed in and demanded a capias.
Now, that Justice did not know a ca-_
pias from a police cell, but he disliked
to admit his ignorance. So he said:
“Now, see here, my friend. You are
a young lawyer, and I fear, lack ex-»
perience. I Would advise you not to
be too hasty. Don’t be in a hurry.
Wait twenty-four hours, and then, if
you think best, come to me and I will
give you a capias.”
The young lawyer agreed and went
away.

the writ called capi-as. When the limb
of the law appeared the next morn-ing,
the Court felt himself qualified to is
sue capiases by the bushel.
Bcfme he could speak the young law-
er said:
“Mr. Justice, you we1e right; I was
hasty. I have that matter fixed up all
right and do not need a capias. I have
come to thank you for the good ad-
vice, and also have b1011ght you the
$2 fee you would have received for the
capias, as I don’t want you to lose by
your good deed.” '
He w cut away believing the Justice
to be a paragon of good sense and legal

lilats in the Bath-Tubs.
The glassy finish ofporcelain bath-
tubs sometimes proves dangerous.
More than one case of broken rib or
serious bruise has been caused by slip-
ping and falling against the iron rim
or sides. Cork mats or long, small-
sizedrubber ones we frequently put
in the bottom of such highly finished
tubs to afford a foothold. The rubber
mats are to be preferred, as the cork
ones chip off from frequent soaking,
and pieces are apt to clog the pipes.
Mixture for Perfume Bags.
A delightful mixture for perfuming
clothes that are packed away, and
which is said to keep out moths also,
is made as follows: Pound. to a' powder
one ounce each of cloves, caraway—

Tonquin beans, and as much orris- -root
as will equal the weight of the fore-
going ingredients put together. Little
bags of muslin should be filled with
this mixtuie and placed among the

A Million Dollars Recently Given to the
Fund in New York.
. With the mam'iage of the late Baron
‘ dc Hirsch were united two remarkable
figures in the world’s history of phil-
anthropists. The wife, no less than
the husband. was aina'ster of the art
of money making, and under the skilled
guidance of this unique couple, their
individual fortunes grew to colossal
proportions. A love of their fellow-
men was the predominating charac-
teristic‘of both the Baron and the Bar-
oness. With similar tastes, vast
wealth, and the ability to use it wisely
and well, they acted as a mighty com-
pound engine in the field of education
and chagityl
The Baron Maurice de Hirsch‘ de
Gereuth was born to be a money king.
He made millions while still a youth
by rebuilding the ruins of the greatest
bank in Belgium. The Baion gave
away millions, but wasted not a cent.
It is said of him that he would save
a flame by condensing a telegram an-
nouncing the gift of a fortune to some
hospital or school.
Money making was merely an inci-
_ dent with him. His chief energies were
devoted to spending his fortune prop-
eIly. His social aspirations were grat-
ified throughout Europe, in nearly ev
ery capital of which he was a. chosen
friend of sovereigns and princes.
Among his most intimate friends was
the Prince of Wales. The baron was
born near Munich in 1833, and died in
Vienna, April 21, 1896.
It was through long association with
her father, who was 8. Brussels bank-
er, that Baroness de Hirsch learned
the business principles which enable
her to use her vast wealth towaId the
improvement of mankind. She never
fritters away money. Some of her
friends ri-egaud her as the equal if not
the superior of her husband in the
skillful handling of enormous sums of
money. When she was a girl she act-
ed as seeietary to her father, the late
Senator Bischofheim, who was him-
self a philanthropist. She was only
two-and-twenty When she married
Baron de Hi1sch, and for newly two-
seem yea1s she assisted him in his bus-
iness and char.itable work. Small
wonder is it, then, that at the age of
sixty, after a lifetime of experience.
she is able to diIect her affairs un-
aided, except by clerks. She herself
is a hard 11"01ker, and erqucntly
spends part of the evening afte1 din-
am at her desk. An ordinary woman,
carrying on the vast operations which
her wealth entails upon her, would
have no time left for social diversions,
but the Baroness knows so well how
to economize time that she is able to
enjoy the company of her friends free-
ly.
Of late her eyes have turned toward
Amelica as a field for philanth1'0, 11c
endeavor. The crowded condition of
the east side of New York has been
the subject of special study. and she
has decided to place at the disposal
of the Baron do Hirsch Fund $1, 000,-
000 to be devoted to the work of im.
proving these conditions. A home for
the benefit of Hebrew working girls
and immigrant giIls is now being or-
ganized here.
Another American donation was
$100, 000, which was used to pay off
a mortgage upon the building of the
Educational Alliance in Jefferson
street. It is supposed_ also that the
Baroness was the anonymous donor
of neailv $200,000 to the Paris Charity
Bazaar, whose success was m..rred by
the dreadful fire.-
A distinguished trait of the world’
greatest woman philanthropist is her
aversion to anything approaching show
or ostentation. Her large benefact ions
it is impossible to conceal from the
public, but no one knows the extent
of her personal work among the poor
on a smaller scale.—-New York Times.

, The sacred thread of the Brahlmins

strands, each of a different color,

OPERATIONS OF THE FEMININE MIND
An Undue Tenderness Suddenly Displayed
by the Spinstcr.
The operation of the feminine mind
sometimes—perhaps always—passes
understanding.
A11 Evanston spinster who presides
over a fine residence in that classic
suburb sent for the hostler the other
day and gave him instructions to
drown a litter of four half grown kit-
tens which had become somewhat
troublesome. Three of the kittens
were easily captured, but ' the
fourth ran under the barn, and the
hostler, in trying to dislodge it with a
pole, unintentionally broke one of the
animal’s legs.
Thereupon three of the kittens were
given their quietu-s in the lake, but
the fourth was taken into the house
and tenderly cared for With splints
and bandages.
“But why not let me put this critter
out of misery, mum, like the rest of
’em?” asked the feline executioner.
“What!” exclaimed Miss Prim.
“Drown a kitten in that condition?
Never! We’ll doc' or her up a little
and she’ll be around again all right in
a few days.”
“But what are you going to do with
her then, mum?” inquired the per-
plexed hostler.
“Well, after that," said the spinster
w.th a sign, “I suppose you ’11 have to
drown her.”—Chicago Times-Herald.
EMERSON AND RUSKIN.
their Criticism of Each Other Not Ex-
actly Flattering.
Emerson visited Ruskin once upon a
a time. Their mutual impressions,
when put side by side, are amusing.
They gave the following, opinions to
their friends after the visit:
What Ruskin wrote: “Emerson came
to my rooms a day or two ago. I
found his mind a total blank on matv
ters of art, and had a fearful sense
of the whole being of him as a gentle
cloud—~intangible.”
What Emerson said: “I had seen
Ruskin .at Oxford, and had been
charmed by his manner in the lecture
room, but in talking with him at his
room I found myself wholly out of
sympathy with Ruskin’s views of life
and the world. I wonder such a genius
can be possessed by so black a devil.
,I can not pardon him for a despond-
ency so deep. ., It is detestable in a
man of such powers, in a poet, a seer,
such as he has been. Children are
right with their everlasting hope.
Timon is always inevitably wrong.”—

HOW GRANT DID IT.
Spanish Mode of Warfare Once Elective],
Opposed.‘ .
Two letters marked “confidentia " '
and possessing a. significant relevancy
to the present Cuban situation are. on
file at the State Department. When.
President Grant entered upon his first
term he found the Spanish G0verny '
ment trying to suppress an insurrec-
tion in Cuba. by methods which the
present Captain General Weyler has
copied. “In the interest of Christian
civilization and common humanity,"
the great commander protested first
through the Spanish Minister at Wash«
ington and a few weeks later through
the American Minister at Madrid
against “such a mode of warfare.” He
declared that “the time has come when
this struggle should be carried on in
a. more humane way’
Back from Madrid came by cable:
.“Severe and positive orders given to
stop the scandalous executions of cap-
tives and like cruelties. ”
President Grant did not stop at
Spanish promises. His Secretary 01
State, Hamilton Fish, immediately
to Consul General Plumb at Havana
as follows.
“Wé get information tram Madrid
wrote under cover of ‘confidential‘
that severe and positive orders have
been given to stop the scandalous'ex-
ecution of’captives and like cruelties.
It is of great importance that the de-
partment shOuld know at an early data
how far the news at Madrid can be
depended on.”
The Consul General made a. careful
investigation and reported in detail,
marking his letters “confidential.” In
summing up his conclusions. he wrote:
“I have had no occasion whatever to
doubt the good intentions of General '
de Rod-as, but the circumstances with
which he has to deal may in some
power to overcome them.”
Then the Consul General printed
from the most recent orders issued by
the Captain General to his subordin-
ates ‘to show the inauguration of a
more human policy as the result of
the action at Washington. These
orders were as follows:
“All functionaries who depend upon
my authority will cause to be respect- '
ed the lives, houses and properties of
all the inhabitants-without distinction,
punishing with vigor those acting in
a contrary manner.
“The greatest care shall be taken
in any manner
against foreigners no legal requisite
shall be Omitted for the just considera-
tion that is due'to their nations. p
“Civilization and the prestige of
Spain before the judgment of other
nations impose the obligation of being
as sparing as possible in the shedding
of blood, and this painful extreme
should only be restored to with lead-
ers, or men against whom there have
been proved crimes of incendiarism or
assassination.” '

the Capitol. His head was bent toward
the wide open sheet“ of the morning
paper. A green necktie of aggravat-
ing hue climbed to the top of the col-
lar and seemed to call for adjustment.
Members of the Iiouse sat beside the
Speaker and watched the progress of
that necktie. One of them, a little
bolder and fresher than the rest,
leaned over and suggested:
“Excuse, me, Mr. Speaker, but your
necktie is gettmg above your collar;
shall I fix it for you?"
“That’s all right,” drawled Mr.,Reed,
not raising his eyes from the paper;
“I always Wear it that way.”
Like a schoolboy, the member shift-
ed ,uneasily in his seat, while, like
other schoolboys, the listening Con-
gressmen tittered at the time-hon-
ored joke. '
There is much in the proceedings of
the House to remind of schoolmaster
and school. Several distinguished
Missourians sat in the gallery and wit-
_nessed the semi-weekly skit of as-
semblying and adjourning. When the
House had been “let out” they agreed
that they had seen a. very striking
parallel of boyhood experiences. When
a little later they sat in the cloak room
and-heard bold talk of defying “01d
Reed“ and getting something through
the House, they recalled the plottings
in the woodshe, to upset the-school
room discipline. ‘ The boy is the father
of the man. “Cloak room backbone"
and woodshed net. e are much alike.

“That’s generally true,” retorted
Mrs. Billus, eyeing him sharply.‘ "as
