Asian Birds

Speaking Of the great number Of small
birds which inhahit Western Asa, a. com-
pared with Europe and North Amerig7a,
Dr. Van I.enncp explains the circumstance
by the fact that even those II fechlest wing
have an easy road from Palestine SYRIA
and Mesop0tamia- by the Isthmus Of Suez
and over the narrow Red Sea, 10 their win
ter quarters in tropical Africa while naturc
has provided them with extraordinary uleans
of conveyance from Asia Minor southwark
across the Mediterranean. The swallow,
and many other birds Of similar powers Of
fight. are able 10 eruss over the entire
breadth of the Mediterranean, especially by
taking advantage of favorable wind. But
many birds are quite incapable Of flying
over a surface Of $50 miles from headiaad
to headland across the Mediterranean with
out alighting. and would rsquire many
DAYS, and even weeks. TO perform the tap

in Asia Minor. but even in SYRIA and Pal

smallest Of His creatures has provided them
with means Of transportation 10 more

their way downward frcm Palestine into
Arabia and Egypt, but this would Be dim

The Monks of st. Vincent.

The Abbey of St. Vincent, near Latrobe,
Pa, is the oldest monastery in America,
having been founded in the latter part of
the eighteenth century, and the college now
connected with it is attended by BIO stu
dents, receiving instruction from faculty
of 33 monks. The lay brothers cultivate a
farm of 500 acres, and there is a brewery
attached, which, besides supplying the bey-
erage to the community attached TO the
monastery, the surplus is sold TO the neigh
boring cities, where the st. Vincent beer Is
highly esteemed as the true Bavarian beer
and unadulterated with drugs The barn
on the farm is 800 feet by 9S, and the
brothers have printing Office and bindery,
where all the books used in the college are
printed and bound. They put up all their
own machinery, build their own wagons,
shoe their horses, make their own clothing,
raise and cook their own food, and slaugh-
ter the cattle raised on their own pasturage.
The founder was Theodore Brewers, pious
Franciscan from the Danish West Indies
and on his death he left a will providing
that the priest who should succeed him
should have the use of the small farm for
life, the only condition being that the priest
should each year say four masses for the
soul of the testator on the anniversary OF
his death and the three succeeding days
In 1871 Franciscus Fromm, German
priest and missionary, took possession OF
the farm under the will without the consent
of Bishop Carroll of Baltimore He wa,
ousted from the farm in 1898, and since
then it has been trust of the church, anC
the stumpy, partly cleared farm has become
the site of the fourishing Abbey of st
! Vincent

The Revival of Burano Lace.

An illustrated paper in late number
the C,atsry" gives full description Of
the revival ct the lace industry Of the island
of Burano, near Venice. which was effected
under the following circumstances
Among French laces, one of the most
beautiful. and as all well-dr,~>ed women
know. perhaps the most desirable for adorn-
ins purposes Is the ppiat Il IieHeoH. This
i diree, imitation of Burano point, and
has probably never quite equaled the origi-
nal, as rare specimens Of the old lace prove.
Burano lace, once 80 sought after and cele-
brated. ceased To be made during the Aus
trian occupation Of Venice, Mrs. Bury
Palliser in her History of Lace, tells us
tina, in ls66 the natives Of Burano ap-
peared % retain no tradition of what was
once their principal occupation. To-day,
however. Burano lace and Venice point
made by Venetian work-women ia Burano,
equaling the ancient fabric in fneneSs and
finish. can again be purchased and It Is to
draw attention To the revival of this beau
tiful industry that the present article Is
written.
This revival of the art, after a cessation
Of nearly century, has been effected by
/ the exertions of the Countess Adrian Mar
cello and the Princess Giovannelli Chigi.
These two ladies, who TO their other graces
add the charm of far-seeing charity, opened
a school for lace making in 1872, under
the special protection of Queen Margaret,
to whom they are ladies of honor. Several
specimens of old Venetian lace were found
( in the possession of an aged woman of Bu-
rauo. named Cencia Scarpagliola, who had
wrought them in her youth, and who
''awoke one day to find herself famous.
in spite of her great age, she was made di-
rectress of the work room, being the only
person competent for the Office, and morr
than two hundred girls have been taught
by her The most important work they
have yet completed is the reproduction OF
the faces of Pope Clement XIII, Recon
leo. born in Venice in 1893. The originals
are in the possession of the Queen, who
with the generosity that distinguishes her
lent them to be copied by the school. Fif-
teen workwomen accomplished the task IN
two years time. One piece of lace, three
meters long and fifty-ive inches wide, val
ued at six thousand francs, was exhibited
by the Burano school in Paris in 1876.

crystal bowls at one end of the cabinets in
the second room, among them being such
trifes as three uncut emeralds, the largest
as big as mans fist, the smallest larger
than hens egg. Apart from the historic
value of the treasures there collected, the
intrinsic wealth is almost incalculable.
During the last war with Russia the Gov
ernment borrowed S30,0O0,00O from the
bank, the officers of which took away to
their own vaults as many jewels as would
secure the loan They carried away three
small boxes OF precious stones, and yet no
appreciable gap was left in the collection.
Such is the treasure-house of the most hope

The Brown Divorce Case.

Il see" said Mrs. Smyth, looking over
the evening paper, ''that the Brown divorce
case has gotten into the courts.
''It has, eh?" said Mr.. Smyth "And
now suppose the papers will be filled with
the disgusting details of the trial. These
divorce cases ought to be heard by the
courts with closed DOORS 1t is disgraceful
that the public journals should be permitted
to cater to the depraved appetites of the
people What does the report say, Ellen?"
'Mrs. Brown, it says, brought the suit,
and Mr.. Brown is the defendant.
Il know; but what does it say about the
proceedings ? Go on and read it."
Mrs Brown came into the courtroom
heavily veiled, with her counsel, and sat
right in front of the jury-box 1t isa very
short report.
''That's queer The Evening Sunbeam
usually has such things in full Well, 60
on"
sNIr. Brown sat with his counsel, and
after the jury was selected the counsel for
Mrs. Brown rose to present his case. He
spoke for half an hour, going over all the
charges which were of revolving charac-
ter, and
Doesn't it give what the man said p
Apparently not. Too bad, isn't it ?"
That's the poorest newspaper | ever
saw I'll buy the Argus after this. How
ever, the Gimlet will have verbatim re-
port in the morning. Read what is there,
anyway"
after the case had been thus opened,
the counsel said that he had twenty-three
witnesses present, each of whom would un-
! fold under oath portion of this most painful
story"
"Ah Now we are coming to it J!
Here seems to be the testimony of the
/ first witness in full. Perhaps, Henry, I'd
better not read it 1t is probably shock
ing
..Oh, well, of course such things ought
not to be printed, but if the newspapers
will insert them and thrust them into decent
families, we might as well look over them.
What did he swear to y
The paragraph is full of asterisks, as if
some of the most unpleasant revelations
have been omitted.
.'NIutihted, hey? Pshaw, how annoy

don't want a few scraps of it. Read it,
anyhow.
The witness said-but no, was mis-
taken. just as the witness began to testify
the counsel for the defense rose to interrupt
him.
''What on earth was he meddling with it
for?7
The counsel urged upon the court the
desirability of preventing so much scandal,
and he offered to consent that Mrs. Brown
should have simple decree of divorce upon
the ground of desertion."
Not accepted, of course? These law
yers are a nuisance.
This was agreed to by the counsel for
the plaintiff, and the decree being promptly
granted by the court, the witnesses and the
Jury were dismissed.
And the whole thing dropped

DEEP WELLs.-The following places
contain the deepest artesian wells in the
world st Louis, Mo-, 1881 feet; Roche
fort. France, 2,676 feet; Columbus, Ohio,
2,575 feet; Louisville, KY, 2,O86 feet;
Grenelle, France, 1,79S feet; Charleston,
S. c., ,25O feet. Artesian wells are in
use in the Lybian Desert, where rain never
falls, and where consequently springs and
streams are not found In such region
their value cannot be estimated They are
also of great service in some parts of Lon
don, where, although the surface wells are
contaminated by sewerage, the artesian wells,
bored to the depth of 400 or 500 feet,
bring up from the chalk beds below an
abundance of pure water.

The new material known as leatherette
is being brought into use in numerous me
chanical and ornamental applications, 1t
is so perfect an imitation of leather that
people are utterly unaware that they are
handling something other than leather it
self. and its serviceable nature renders the
detection still more difficult. For all uses
to which it has been applied the article Is

equal in serviceableness TO natural leather.

Some men profess not to care snap
what the people or newspapers say about
them. One of this class having heard that
a certain weekly had spoken of him as a
prominent citizen, he drove seventeen miles,
in pouring rain and over a muddy road,
to get a copy of that paper, because he
wanted to see the market reports in it.
