The Reason of Birds.

Several years ago pair of my cana
ries built; while the hen was setting
the weather became intensely hot. She
dropped and / began to fear that she
would not be strong enough to hatch
the eggs. watched the birds closely,
and soon found that the cock was de-
voted nurse. He bathed in the fresh
cold water that supplied every morn
ing, and then went to the edge of the
nest, and the hen buried her head in
his breast and was refreshed. Without
a spong., what more could he have
done? The following Spring the same
bird was hanging in Il window with
three other c.naries, each in q sepa-
rate care. 1 was sitting in the room
and heard my little favorite give pc
culiar cry. 1 looket up and saw all
the birds crouching on their perches,
paralyzed with fright. On going to
the window to ascertain the cause of
their terror l saw large balloon pas
sing over the end of the street. The
birds did not move till it was out of
sight, when they all gave y chirp of re-
lief. The balloon was only within
sight of the bird who gave the alarm.
and have no doubt he mistook it for a
bird of prey. l have a green and n
yellow canary hanging side by site.
They are treated exactly alike and are
warm friends. One has often refused
to partake of some delicacy till the
other was supplied with It. One day 1
had five blossoms of dandelion; l gave
three to the green bir,i, two to the yell
low one. The latter flew about his
cage singing in q shrill voice. and
showing unmistakable signs of anger.
Guessing the cause, took away one of
the three flowers. when both birds set
tied down quietly to enjoy their feast.

She Made a Mistake.

An individual in dress coat. orna-
men ted with a sparse array OF brass
buttons and a star, and single stripe
across his cuffs, was sweeping and Cir
cling about the room in the last of the
new step waltzes, and naturally attract
ed attention. He was introduced to
one blue -blooded young lady, who stiff
ly informed him that she was not dane
ing that evening, and froze up his fur
ther utterances with an icy stare. As
he left she turned with celestial ire in
her countenance and said:
..How dare they introduce a Pull
man car conductor to mep The i'm
pudence Think of me dancing with
him -
My dear, ignorant, land-lubberly
lass from the INTERIOR" said the con-
vulsed recipient of the angry burst,
don't you know he is a master of the
United States navy, the greatest social
swell that breathes, always excepting
that most magnificent and god-like
creature, lieutenant of marines?"
Il don't believe it," she said, GRIM
soning "Where's his sword and his
gold lace and trimmings? He has bor-
rowed that coat from his waiter and
sewcd the buttons on the tail of it him
self, or else he is conductor. l know
he is fraud when see him walk"
Argument was powerless 10 convince
the Young woman that she had COM
mitted social suicide and committed
the biggest blunder of the season, or
that the modestly ornamented coat was
really what officers call the social
uniform, and not the gorgeous garment
of full dress.-.&. Louis Globe.

Bird Destruction in France.

The numbers of birds that are netted
in France are. perhaps, even greater
than those which are shot. Thrushes
and nightingales are caught by hum
dreds in the tes0, sort of net which is
spread along the sides of narrow,
well-wooded lane, and, in combination
with the inevitable decoy birds, proves
extraordinarily effective. The means of
destruction are SO varied and ingenious
that it is only wonderful that there are
any small birds left. The comparative
absence of bird life which strikes a
traveller in the south of Europe so dis
agreeably needs. at all events, no fur
ther explanation. Swallows alone have
been tolerably exempt from persecu-
ton; not because they are less esteemed
by the jaded palates of the south. but
because of the extreme difficulty OF
shooting them. Powder in France is
SO dear that swallow is literally not
worth powder and shot. They might,
indeed, be netted; but this is forbidden
in their case by law. Nj. Guibert, coun-
cillor-general of the department of
Vaucluse, did, indeed, get this provis-
ion annulled for a time, by way of do
ing his electors a good turn; but people
soon found themselves threatened with
a perfect plague of gnats and mosqui-
toes, and the law was re-established-
not, however, before many thousands
of swallows had been taken by the
marshy Rhone banks. Very similar
has been the experience of Switzerland,
where swallows are now protected-al-
most too late, however, to repair the
mischief that has been done-by heavy
fines.

Vanderhilts New Mansion.

1t will be a good many months yet
before Mr.. w. H. Vanderbi!t's magnif-
cent mansion on Fifth avenue is really
to occupy. All the work is so elabor-
ate that even the least part of it takes
a great deal of time. The exterior is
neither rs imposing nor attractive as
one might expect to find it. after read
ing any of the descriptions written up
from the architects plans. The tlat
surface of Che wall gives the whole a
rather dull look, which, at short dis
tance, is hardly relieved by the fine
carving and scroll work on various
parts of the stone. As the stone itself
is the ordinary brown stone common
to all parts of New York. there is moth
ing particularly striking i'll the outside
effect. The building is, in fact, rather
plain, much more so than they are on
the adjoining block, which will be Oc-
cupied by Mr.. Vanderbilt's oldest son
and looks more substantial than Or
nate. In this respect it may be regard
ed as reflccting the owners character.
for Vanderbilt is not a snowy man by
any means, the most nobby thing about
him being those rather stringy side
whiskers which the comic artists make
the most of in their cartoons. Wheth-
er Mr.. Vanderbilt is particularly well
fitted up inside or not, this deponent is
not prepared to say, but the inside of
his new house certainly will be. No
expense is TO be spared in the fitting up
and decoration, at all events. The
smallest thing, as we'll as the largest,
must be the very best. An order was
given the other day for silver-plated
bath-tubs. A nickle-plated bath-tub
is generally considered good enough
for the ordinary. millionaire, but when
a man has hundred millions to his
name the wonder is, not that he must
have a silver plated tub to battle in. but
that he is satisfied with anything less
than a gold one.-N Y. Letter.

The Downy Mustache.

When the down of = mustache first
timldly ventures on the upper lin, it is
a young mans duty to visit the Rogue's $
Gallery before he visits the barber shop.
If he deem within the depths of his
heart that n Vandyke mustache and im-
perial would make picture of him, let
him first inspect the walls for Van
dyke forger or if the Dundreary
strikes his fancy. let him rcconnoitre
among the confidence swells OF if the
artistic or military mustache be the
most approved by him. let him care
fnlly scan the list of safe-breakers. If
he choose to cultivate the gloomy and
impenetrable with full unshaven face,
let him look among the murderers for
an old Diggly-bones. In short, it is the
duty of every enterprising barber to dec
crate his walls with the Rogue's Gal
lery, lest his customers find themselves,
like the young printer, with the uncom-
Portable conviction, that he may be as
truthful rs Washington, and as honest
as an investigated officer who has come
out clean. he is yet going through the
world looking vastly like rogue

A Town of Tripoli.

Derne, or Beled el SCOT, the ancient
Darnis, is placed near the mouth OF a
large ravine, or wady. on point OF low
land running out from the foot of a
high range of barren hills about a mile
from the coast. Unusually we'll sup
piled with water for that region. it has
numerous date-palms, vineyards, and
gardens. In the winter the wady is
full of rushing water from the hills,
but in summer the market is held in
the bed OF the torrent.
The streets of the town. which con-
tains some good houses. are. like those
of most places in Barhary. narrow, IL
regular, and filled with the filth and
rubbish which seems Indispensable to
Arab comfort and happiness. The port
is small and inconvenient. with no pro-
lection from the north or northeast.
So little do such towns change, that
the traveller of to-day 10 ks upon much
the same scene rs was presented to
Gen. Eaton's eyes when he looked down
upon the little city in the spring OF
1906. while the head of his weary col
umn mounted the crest of the hill and
encamped for a night of well-earned
repose.- United Service Magazine.

steak and tripe.' So was Mr.. Wander

coming in on a cold day, sitting before
the fire, and warming one side and

Outtipg Stone with Stone.

1t has been held by some archaolo-
gists that these sculpturings could not
have been cut without the use of iron
tnolS; but others have of late years sue
ceeded in reproducing similar markings
on granite slabs. using solely stone inn
plements; and in doing so they found
that diorite and other such tough stones
cut the granite better than flint This
corresponds with the practice of the
stone cutters of the present time, whose
steel tools for cutting granite are of n
much softer temper than those they use
for cutting sandstone of Montezuma.
in Mexico, is a striking proof OF the
extent to which granite can be sculp-
tured with stone implements. CANA,
in lis work describing this stone, states
that 10000 Indians were employed in
transporting it to the city of Mexico,
where it was sculptured by thirty work
men with stone Xes.-E'ccdCattOas an
