the suicide Of Baron UchetIus. the inventor of

The Sparrow Classified.

From the Lancaster Farmer.
This journal has distinctly demonstrated In
several editorial papers during the past two or
three years where the sparrow stands in orni-
biological classification, and that his place is
not. and never has been, among insect-feeding
birds. He is a finch, and therefore essentially q
gratn-feeding bird Mr.. Jonesby says he be-
lieves sparrow would eat an insect provided
you could convince him that some other bird
wanted it; and, in confirmation of this asser-
ton, he says he once saw bluebird about to
appropriate worm, but he was driven off by
two sparrows, who greedily and heedlessly
seized short string instead of the worm, and
after stubborn conflict, one of them secured It
and Immediately swallowed It, the worm In the
meantime making its exit into the ground

Forgive ind Forget.

ghere are two words whose magic power
Drives angry thoughts and looks away
Which Gains the storm OF PASSIONS hour,
And llghtens up the dreary day.
These words are mild, yet firm and strong
The kindest words one ever met;
They say to harbor hate is wrong
Remember MISUNDERSTANDING
Altho It's hard when tempests rise,
When lower the storm-clouds overhead,
TO follow words supremacy wise
And meath our feet our anger tread,
Yet firm and sure our Lords command
Do thou. before the sun Is set,
Before thy brother humbly stand
And ask him to Forgive, Forget.

Their Chief Traits,


From the Paris Register.
The Americans, the Yankees, az they call them,
have become fruitful subject of study for for
eign Psychologists. One Of the latest writer's

German scientist, Dr.. George Seelhorst, says:
. The North American nation Is OF English orr

part Of the vast country. In spite of, and per-

children OF German immigrants between the
ages of fifteen and twenty, who had become

than all in their manner Of thought Even the
most tenacious of all types, the Israelitic soon
disappears, because the American Jew feels him

acuteness and science than that which assumes
the lost ten tribes of Israel to have been the
original ancestors of the Indians The first
European discoveries noticed the Jewish type OF
the Indians, and Montesini called the attention
OF the learned Jew, Manasse Ben Israel. to the
fact, who, In consequence. wrote his celebrated
work, La Esperanto de Israel, in which he en-

NVAVAo AxAuAC ny SMc human VOICE.
From the Philadelphia Press.
An optical demonstration of the effect OF
sound on the colors and figures in soap bubbles
was given at the Franklin Institute last night
by Prof. Holeman. A film Of soap was placed
across the end of a phoneidoscope To bring
the sound In direct contact with the soap tube
was used, A reflection OF the film was thrown
on canvas screen. where it first assumed a
blueish- gray appearance. An information of the
voice, with the lips close to the mouth of the
tube, caused a number Of black spots to appear
on the reflection. When these passed away q
beautiful light green intermingled with pink,
remained. These two appeared to be the prIn-
cipal colors caused by the sound. It was no.
ticeable, however, that while a certain tone
had no control over the color A tone, which.
for instance, caused one solid color to appear,
would bring out. perhaps, a dark blue at one
time and yellow at another. No difference
was noticeable In the effect Of the male and fe-
male voices.

The circumstances of the self-destrrction Of

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10.
The local merchandise markets present no new
features unless 1t be a healthy increase in bust
ness from day to day, Country merchants are
paying up promptly and there is much that is
encouraging in the situation. There is no abate-
meDt in the demand for sugar. and while the
tone of the market is easter, we make no
change in our quotations. Reports from both
strong, but well-informed dealers here are of
the opinion that there will he a collapse there
some of these days soon. The egg market Is
firm at quotations, eastern markets are In a
strong position, and as receipts are light here
the tendency is to still higher prices Choice
butter as well is selling readily at our quota
lions. Choice apples and in demand at
fnl prices, and all kinds OF fruits are nrmer as
he season is drawing to close. The -four mar
ret continues IN unsatisfactory condition;
Eastern papers report trade dun. Jobbers are
purchasing only in lots to meet Immediate
wants The dullness is in consequences of the
free arrivals of winter wheat -four and the
limited demand for export to Europe, the ad-
vices from that point falling short of expecta-
ton. The milling capacity OF the country is
much larger than the wants of the trade There
Is a feeling that later in the season the advlees
from abroad will be of a more favorable chdrac-
ter. but the English and Continental markets are
now well supplied with botn wheat and flour.
