English and Foreign Song. Birds.

The English birds are more domestic
and familiar than ours; more directly
and intimately associated with man; not,
as a class, so withdrawn and lost in the
great void of the wild and the unre-
claimed. England is like a continent
concentrated-all the waste land, the
barren stretches, the wildernesses left
out. The birds are brought near together
and near to man. Wood birds here are
house and garden birds there. They find
food pasturage and protection every
where. A land of parks, and gardens,
and hedge-rows, and game preserves,
and climate free from violent extremes
what stage for the birds, and for en-
HANGING the effect of their songs Eow
prolific they are, how abundant! If our
songsters were hunted and trapped, by
bird fanciers and others, as the lark, and
gold-finch, and mavis, ETC., are in Eng
land, the race would soon become ex-
tinct. Then, as rule, it is probably
true that the British birds, as a class,
have more voice than ours have, or GER
tain qualities that make their songs more
striking and conspicuous, such as greater
vivacity and strength. They are less
bright in plumage, but more animated
in voice. They are not so recently out
of the woods, and their strains have not
that elusiveness and plaintiveness that
ours have. They sing with more conf
dence and copiousness, and as if they,
too. had been touched by civilization.
Then they sing more hours in the day,
and more days in the year. This is
owing to the milder and more equable
climate. l heard the sky-lark singing
above the South Downs in October, APP
parently with full spring fervor and de-
light. The wren, the robin, and the
wood-lark sing throughout the winter,
and in midsummer there are perhaps
three times as many vocal threats as
here. The heat and blaze of our mid
summer sun silence most of our birds.
On the other hand there are certain
aspects in which our songsters appear to
| advantage. That they surpass the
European species in sweetness, tender
ness and melody have no doubt, and
that our mocking-bird, in his native
haunts in the South, surpasses any bird
in the world in compass, variety and ex-
ecution is highly probable. That the
total effect of his strain may be less win
ming and persuasive than the nocturne
of the nightingale is the only question in
my mind about the relative merits of the
two songsters. Bring our birds together
as they are brought togetherin England,
all our shy wood-birds the hermit
thrush, the veery, the winter wren, the
wood wagtail, the water wagtail, the
many warblers, the greenlet, the solitary
vireo, etc.-become birds of the groves
and orchards, and there would be burst
of song indeed.-John Burroughs, IN The
| Century.

Esthetic Advancement in America.

This is too ravishingly, exquisitely
too, too" said a pretty maiden in an
olive-green velvet suit and a brigand hat,
standing in front of an inoffensive little
landscape at the Art Association exhibit
ton.
'Ya-as, quite so," said youth of some
seventeen summers at her side, dressed
in boys jacket, tights, and toothpick
shoes, and holding soup-dish hat in his
hand. "Ah, l can't say that met any
thing better in all my wanderings

80, dear, Mr.. Snobbington, you are

young lady, tapping the youth playfully
with her gold eyeglasses. "See what a,
delicate, subtle something turks in that
suggestion of an apple cart at the left.
And oh, that roof So Turneresque. So
full of unexpressed passion and hidden
unmeaningness. o, Mr.. Snobbington,
it is positively dreadfully Incompetent

thing so suggestively Coroish, never"
"Ah-ya-as, verwy good for this side of
the wa-tar," said her companion, stick
ing a monkey glass in his eye and finally
succeeded in keeping it there, after
series of facial contortions worthy of the
lamented G. L. Fox. "As-ah-my twend

Yesterday was a genuine November
day, cold, bleak and heavy winded. The
zephyrs which tore across Main Street
at the corner of White tore off and threw
into the mud three female hats. One
owner said, 80 myr' another, Good
ness mer' but the third said nothing
until she got the hat on her head, when,
giving it a sharp little dab, she was
heard to observe: eff ever marry

THE KING s QUEST.

The King rode fast, the King rode far,
Now, by my crown" quoth he,
" II /, in all the land, shall find
A maiden of contented mind
Be she of high or low degree,
By Pagan rite or Christian signed
My consort she shall be-
But when he CHANGED the maid to meet,
So well content was she,
She would not wed-but, deaf and blind,
Went on her way: Alack, find
I'm caught in my own web," quoth he;
"This maid of contented mind
Is too content for me-"

The PretZel.


picked. In North Germany, where
the benighted people do not know
any better. the pretzel is called a
''kringle.' This is enough to spoil
the pretzel, only that is impossible
The pretzel is always planted on free
lunch counters. There is more nu-
triton in barrel of sawdust than
there i i'll clothes basket full of
pretzels. But then the pretzel is much
the dryer of the two. The genuine
prrtzel has heart like marble yard,
and the heart is vanished to keep it
dry. 1T is vanished with hot lye,
and sprinl>led with salt aud anlseseed
to give il tone.
Before it assumes the expression SC
familiar to the lovers of this perennial
fruit. the pretzel is about the size OF
garter snake. After it is tied uI
in that intricate knot which makes
the eater wonder where to take hi:
first bite, no man can guess at its
length. Enough is known. however
to warrant scientific authorities il
saying that if q man should swallow
pretzel whole, and it should sud
denly straighten out in him, it woult
kill him in a minute. 1t is not pos
sihle, however, for man to eat
pretzel whole. You can eat all th
rest of it, but while there is more hol
than pretzel to begin with, yet tn
more you eat the pretzel the NOR
hole there is left.
