d who Ape Fnslishmen.

Ne Is to be seen Just now Ia Amer.
a, in what is known as society, a strong
Tendency to initiate English ways and
customs and fashions. This tendency is
gaining strength, and spreading from
New York and Boston to smaller inland
cities. II Is new thing In many ways,
for until lately New York has taken Its
cue rather from Paris than from Lon
don. During the second Empire many
good Americana made pilgrimages TO the
Tuilleries as a Mecca, and soon settled
permanently near the shrine. But Paris
& no longer more fashionable than Lon.
don. The American girl continue to get
her gowns in the French capital, Of
course, but sho is glad TO get her habit
and her ulster and her cloaks In the
English capital. AS there is now no
Court in France, she looks forward to q
presentation at Court in England, and
the possibility Of marrying title Is por.
haps present 10 her mind as she crosses
the ocean. That she is quito capable of
taking care OF herself in the presence OF
English noblemcn and their female
relatives all readers Of Mr.. James's
international Episode" and OF Mr..
Howell's "Woman's Reason" will bear
/. witness. In fact, the American gill is
in no danger Of losing her head before
parting with her hand. II is her csnsort,
the American young man, who Is mos.
likely to be contaminated by contact
with the Englishman. There Is no de-
nying that certain set Of young Amer.
Jeans, more particularly in New York
and Boston. affect the Englishman and
ape all his aifectations. They mimic
svery English trick In the most snobbish
way. They attempt IN English accent,
and they sprinkle Britticisms freely
through their speech. They talk Of
their "fads," and they call people
"cads,' and they abound In the most
amusing little aTectations. Their great-

to clear up many infelicit'es and OBJ
securities in that version which puzzle
the ordinary reader.
The unicorn" which never existed
outside the English Bible will at last be

in its place. The Book of flasher"
will be changed to the Book of the

doubtful ethics of the Israelites in
borrowing jewelry from the Egypt
ians and then running away with 1t.
The revised translation will rightly
state that they asked for gifts, not
loans. Joseph's many-colored coat"
will be ''tunic." The celebrated
passage in the book of Job. ''Yet in
my flesh shall I see God, " will be
changed to Yet out of my flesh, /"

Run wifel Go below, or they'll be

The keeper of the Atlantic City
Lighthouse was watching the hy-
draulic floating lamp in the top of the
tall tower last night, and had just
brushed a speck from one of the plate
glass sashes through which the in
tense rays from the great fixed light
that warned off a II floating ocean life
from obstruction were streaming,
when, turning his head in answer
to a strange Tapping and whirring
noise. he uttered the exclamation.
what shall 1 do?' asked the
plucky little woman, who is in the
habit of keeping him company during
the early part of his vigils.
go for the net! Drive them off
Take my overcoat with you and save
all you CAM
In the almost whitehead glow of
the lamp, outside of whose radiance
everything was Impenetrable black
ness, spectacle was presented I'M
equaled in any of Dore's grotesqae
imaginings. Though the light, like
notes in sunbeam and thicker than
mosquitoes, hundreds of dazed and
frenzied birds, of various sizes, were
circling and gyrating, performing
mad aerial dance around and around
the lantern.
Mrs. Wolf came in directly. II

there are thousands and thousands
of them" From out the bullying
pockets of the overcoat birds began to
fly, now dashing at the windows as if
to get out again, and the three or
four painItating feathered mites she
held in each hand began struggling
to get free. They were of many
hues, these southern travellers thus
arrested and carried out of their
Northward migratory course, al
though in the fierce splender of the
Illuminated arc outside they had all
appeared luminous and white. They
were robins, fickers, mud hens, and a
few rail birds, and one poor little pee
wit, perching itself socially on its
rescuers shoulder, uttered its pecul-
lar note.
Odd you notice that scarlet tan
singer in the house as you came up2"
asked Abraham Wolf, the keeper, of
his guest, the scribe. well. that
gorgeous fellow got here from the
West Indies somehow. Ipicked him
up ia the net one night during a heavy
thunder storm. The net, you see, is
on the land side, where all the birds
come, and keeps them from scattering
their blood on the glass. But the
wild ducks, they tear the net to
shreds. We have had few spring
birds the last week or two, but this
is the first large flock. Our house
during the summer is nearly always
full of them. We leave them loose
and let them 90 iwhere they want to.
One night my wife and l took over
800 birds alive and let them go next
morning. Rail birds, cat birds, wood
thrush, missile thrush, thistle birds,
and all the soft billed fy-catchers
are the most numerous, but we get
almost every sort. l keep record of
their visits for the American

A Swimming Chicken
Franklin Ca News.


We have always heard it said that
a chicken could not swim, but in this
instance the theory was exploded
One day last week a hawk darted
down on Mr.. Harris yard, seized a
month-old chicken, and flew across
the river. Marshall Pitlnan saw the
hawk catch the chicken and shot at
him. No sooner than he shot, the
chicken was dropped in the river
Seeing it fall, Mr.. Pittman ran to the
river, and strange to say, about
twenty-five or thirty feet from the
bank saw the little fowl swimming
with all its might He being amazed
at The sight, called several other gen
tlemen and waited to see what the re-
suit would be- In few minutes,
however, it reached the bank and
looking at the admiring lookers-on as
if TO salute them and receive their
congratulations. 1t was carried to the
house and dried, and it is now the
prettiest chicken in the yard. That
this chicken swan out of the river
is not hearsay, but is an actual fact.
