The Ch.ckadee.

 He is, par excellence, the bird of the mef " heart. There is notion current, to be sure that all birds are merry; but that is one of those second hand opinions which 8 man who begins to observe for himself soon finds it necessary to give up. With many birds life is hard struggle. Enemies are numerous, and the food supply is too often scanty. Of some species it is probable that very few die in their beds. But the chicka- dee seems to be exempt from all forebodings. His coat is thick, his heart is brave, and, whatever may happen, something will be found to eat. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereot' is his creed, which he accepts, not sfor substance of doctrine," but liter ally. No matter how bitter the wind or how deep the SHOW, you will never find the chick adee as we say, under the weather. It is this perennial good humor, I suppose, which makes other birds so fond of his companion ship: and their example might well be heed ed by persons who suffer from moods Of de- pression. Such unfortunates could hardly do better than to court the society or the joyous tit, His whistle and chirps, his grace ful feats of climbing and hanging. and withal his engaging familiarity (for, of course, such good natured as his could not consist with suspiciousness) would most likely send them home in a more Christian frame. The time will come, we may hope, when doctors will prescribe bird-gazing instead of biue-pill To
 
 mention that friend of mine captured one in butterfly y-net, and, carrying him into the house, left him loose in the sitting room. The little stranger was at home immediately, and seeing the window full of plants, proceeded to go over them carefully, picking of the lice with which such window. gardens are always more or less infested. little later he was taken into my friends lap, and soon he climbed up to his shoulder; and after hopping about for few minutes on his coat collar, he selected comfortable roostlngs plaee. tucked his head under his wing, and went to sleep and slept on undisturbed. while carried from one room to another. Probably the chickadee's nature is not of the deepest. I have never seen him when his joy rose to ecstasy Still his feelings are not shallow, and the faithfulness of the pair to each other and to their offspring is of the highest order. The female has sometimes to be taken of the nest, and even to be held in the hand, before the eggs can be examined.

A nIinnssota Tornado.

~>~ ---~@>-0>~ 0~N@~---f @@e8e
 The popular Norwegian poet, novelist, preacher and philosopher, Kristofer Janson, lost heavily in a recent tornado which passed over the little Minnesota pariSh in which he is stationed. It is the purpose of the. Unita- rian society here, together with other friends and admirers of Lis in Madison, to personally tender the afflicted literateur a purse of money as an assistance toward financial re- cuperation. For the purpose of starting the fund Miss Woodward has arranged 8 concert to be given at the Unitarian church Thursday evening of this week. It is to be sincerely hoped that the receipts. will be worthy of the excellent object. In 8 letter to the current number of the Chicago Unity Mr. Janson describes the tornado in his characteristic. sweet, simple, quaint and graphic style. Here is a bit of description well worthy of Jean IngeloW:
 I've had built two wings on the church, ycu know, as a summer resort for me and family, and we had just moved in. The church itself was not yet finished, the doors and windows not put in. and the carpenters and joiners busy at their work when the mis- fortune happened. The weather had been turbulent for many days, every night light ming and laundering and violent showers. It was in the morning on the Fist. We had

The Mark Tapley of the PalI Mall Gazette nished him by the disaster at Ischia. He says: The earthquake at Ischia is very hor- rible, no doubt. The audiences of the catas- trophe, the horror of an immediate and un- expected doom. and the grim contrast be- tween the gayety and msrriment of the Ital- ian watering place on summer evening and the wide wasting ruin which filled Ischia with desolation, naturally impress the imagination. But, after all, the deaths do not exceed 2, GOO, less than the total number of those who are condemned to death every weok by prsventa- ble disease in this country alone, and, not. withstandinR it's appalling accompaniments, perish by typhoid fever.

program as laid down is to begin
booming the latter for the Presidency
and do IL 80 loudly and persistent
tly that he will be made ridiculous. In
this way they hope to laugh him out OF
the race so completely that he can never
enter it again.
The plan besides will answer another
purpose. 1t will keep the eye of the
Democratic party fixed upon Indiana
as the State from which it must take
its Presidential candidate and yet save
Mcdonald from suffering from a pre-
mature boom. BY and by, after his RI
val has been driven from the arena by
the laughter of the Nation, Mcdonald
