One of the most attractive articles ex-
hibited in the French department of the
Vienna Exposition is q mechanical sing
ing-bird Of red plumage. 1t is only by
standing before 1t for some time after the
automaton has ceased to sing and move

There never was but one complete
library, says the Cincinnati Commercial,
and that was owned by the man who
wished for but two books-the Bible and
Shakespeare. A complete library is mis-.
