Religious Ballet Dancers.

l suppoee every one remembers
Emily and Betty Rigl when they danced
in the Christmas ballet ut the Cali
fornia Theater in the old days. At that
time Joe Mcguire, Walter Campbell,
and others used to sing in sort of
special Christmas chorus at the same
theater-and what q beautiful chorus it
was! On Sunday they used to sing in
the church choir. One Sunday 1 re-
preached poor Joe Mcguire with the
crime of singing on the stage. In his
gentle way he proceeded to justify him
self, and told me, among other things,
that Emily and Betty Rigl were the
most religious women he had ever seen.
They had their rosaries always with
them; never failed to say prayer or
two between the acts, and always
crossed themselves before pas seul.
afterward heard some Of the others
tell the same story. l don't object to a
man saying prayer before he goes out
to cheat another man in q simple
little business transaction. But for q
pretty ballet dancer to invoke celestial
aid, that she might rouse to greater
rapture the bald heads in front, has al
ways seemed to me like taking an undue
advantage of ones personal influence.

A Lover OF the Antiaue.

Mrs. Limoges is very bric-a-brac in

servant

"Pve got bill here for some
groceries she bought last month"
"Only a month old?" asked the girl
in surprise.
"Ain't that old enough? ?"
"No, sir, it is not. Mrs. Limoges,
I'd have you know, is lover of the
antique, and should she see a bill only
q month old she would have fit of

Go Into the Woods for Fresh Air.

Go into the woods for revivificat
Get away from the hard pavements,
the stony buildings, the severe limits of
the city into the soft air and rounded
outlines of the country. The woods
ore the fountain of youth, to the spir-
its held in check Ly stone walls and
narrow streets, and to tho memory,
which carries one back to boyhood's
days. The trees, the stumps, the pros
trate trunks have not changed while yo1
have been growing old. There is the
same old seat in the oaken crotch, and
the messy bed where you used to lie in
the shade and dream the summer after
noon away. The chipmunks are as
festive as though the gray was not
creeping into your locks, and the birds
sing as sweeIly a. though it had been
perpetual spring in the woods since you
were there so many years ago. All,
how ali things grow old and gray but
nature and her children. Bend

An Evenings Entertainment.

A correspondent, who is determined
that her vi.itors shall have good time,
says: What can we do if we are tired
Of reading and music9" The natural
inference is that she or her guests do
not dance, or play whist, or games of
chance" so called, but in which in re-
atty the battle is to the swift and the
race to the strong. This being the
case, l know of no more delightful way
to insure o pleasant evening than to
play games with pencils and paper.
You may need little courage to intro
duce these games, but, believe me, you
will be surprised at the happy results
which will crown your efforts. First,
try making poetry. Have sufficient
number of pencils provided, distribute
them, and give four slips of paper
to each person. Each must write
one word on each slip. Collect them,
mix thoroughly. and then allow each
person to draw out four slips, but do
not let him sec what the word is upon
it until he has had it in his hand. It
is then the duty of each one to make o
verse of poetry and include in it the
four words thus drawn. Then each
must read when all are done the verse
that he has written. Do not excuse
any one from it, for the most unprom-
ising people often make the best
rhymes. Then after this try writing
poems on subjects, all writing on the
same subject; or write epitaphs. An
other funny exercise is to make CO.
nundrums, or when all are seated let
one person whisper the name of an
object to each one while some one else
goes around the room and whispers the
name of some person, either q histor-
zeal character, or an acquaintance; then
each must tell why the person and the
object are alike, or why they are un-
like. Resemblance or differences may
either be taken as an answer. Try
these, or some of them, and you win
be surprised to find out how quick-
witted and bright some young people
of all ages" are.-Ne,0 York Buening

represent 600 species. There are no
eagles, 80 to say, but three kinds of
hawks, the same number of buzzards,

RAIDERS at night. The sparrow family
is the dominant in the land, for it num-
beers 40 species. The calibri, or hum
ming bird, is found in thirty-six species,
belonging to twenty-eight genera. In
the parrot family eight species ore
known as Auroras, all of brilliant
and metallic plumage. The quetzal or

Several hundred OF them are thus

parrots there are eight, while the COM
mon ones, called loros, are divided into
fourteen species. Among the song
sters the pitoreal, a small black bird
living on bananas, plantains, and SINH
lar fruits, and resembling our catbird,
is considered the finest, and called the
nightingale of the country. In the gal
linaceous order. one may mention the
pau-jil, magnificent wild creature,
quail in makeup, turkey in size, and
pheasant in color, with long, slightly
curved and round-pointed bill and q

is of distinct species. OF cartridges

pigeons seventeen species, not counting
the sea-pigeons, waders, rs the heron,
crane, shite-poke, sandpiper, snipe,
