TIE attempt to get up Sunday even

commendable one and ought to sue
coed. II is not an innovation, but is
common in most all western and south

pooplo ought to encourage, for such an
opportunity offered the large transient
population of the city, and the young
men who will otherwise spend their

should have been a feature here long

his action is in accord with many of the

A Mistake We are Correcting.

The gathering together of people in
great numbers in cities is a calamity,
and with a wider diffusion of knowl-
edge relating to rural life will come a
better appreciation of the country and
the blessings it brings to the physical
as to the spiritual man. We have been
busy destroying the forests and build
ing towns, and on the plan of the old
walled cities Of Europe. But already
this mistake is being corrected, and
ree-planting in cities is advocated.
And as the people of the Old World
are setting US the example, we shall
soon be planting shade trees in all our
cities. Among thearguments advanced
in favor of this plan is the relief to the
optic nerve through the eye resting on
a green color. Weak eyes among the
dwellers in cities is attributed to the
absence of green foliage in our streets,
and the scientists are fayoring the
presence of trees in all city thorough
fares.
We are a race of forest destroyers
and are only induced to stop our prac-
tices when utilitarian arguments infu-
ence us against the practice. Gradu-
ally the sentimental side of the matter
will command recognition and people
will outgrow their murderous instinct
toward trees. They will learn to love
them and delight to dwell among them.
Just as the eonsumptive loves the pines
and is grateful to them, so will all be-
come through larger development
than we yet possess. What friends to
man they are! And how benefcient is
their silent presence among us, stand
ing, sentinel-like, protecting phalanx
to shelter and bless those who love and
reverence them and are child-like
enough to rest in the depths of their
solitudes. c. HOLLOWAY, an

LoRING, PAsHA.

That General Loring, by his ten
years faithful service in Egypt, where
he was a trusted counsellor of the
Khedive Ismail, has earned a right to
be heard with respect when he speaks
about Egyptian affairs, few will have
the hardihood to deny. And he writes
with the frankness and force of a SOL
dier, whose military career has been
long and brilliant. He was but a boy
when he took part in the war which
followed the separation of Texas from
Mexico, and when the fighting ceased
in Texas, his father sent him back to
school. Subsequently obtaining COM
mission in the United States Army, he
served in the Indian war in Florida,
and went with General Scott to Mexico.
In the attack on Vera Cruz, on the
glorious days of Cerro Gordo, Contre-
ras, Churubusco and Chapultepec,
young Loring did his fair share, until
the very day before the American army
entered the city of Mexico, when at
the gate of the city he received the
wound which cost him his bridal arm.
This loss did not deprive the country of
his services, for in Indian wars which
followed he took an active part, and
when the northwestern boundary was
settled by the treaty Of 1916 with
Great Britain, he led an army across
the plains-a formidable undertaking
in those days-to garrison Northern
Oregon. When the Civil War broke
out he thought it was his duty to take
the Confederate side. But there can
be no impeachment of his honor in the
way he severed his connection with the
United States service. Always in
active command, he fought all around
the circle during the Civil War, the
result Of which was, of course, dis
of his cherished hopes
To Egypt, which he had visited before,
he turned his steps, and there found
his great talents and sterling character
duly appreciated by the Khedive Is
mail, who raised him to the princely
rank of Pasha. The Abyssinian war,
in which General Loring was chief-of-
staff, is too recent to need mention.
He has employed his leisure, since his
return from Egypt, in the preparation
Of book on that country, which will
shortly see the light and will be found
interesting.-Toaen Talk, in

How Little Girl got General Scott's
Autograph.

A lady passing the season here was
very anxious to get General Scott s
autograph. He was very busy, and she
found her task very difficult. One day
the happy thought struck her that her
pretty little ten-year-old daughter might
be able in this case to do what herself
could not. So she sent the charming
little girl to the generals Office with
the autograph album. The orderly
told her that she could not see the busy
general. She would not be denied.
She would wait, she said. At the end
of half an hour the orderly took her re-
quest to the adjutant. The latter ad-
mitted her, but told her she could not
possibly see the general. She said she
must. At last the adjutant showed
her the door leading to General Scott's
Office, and told her she could 60 in if
she dared. Taking him at his word,
she marched right in. This is her de-
scription of the call given at the time ::

and shook hands with NE and asked me

told him my pa was in the army, and
ma was all alone with me, and then he
just kissed my cheek and wrote in mas

Humming Birds.

Sun-birds are only found in Africa
and India, including the Malayan re-
gion; true humming-birds, as every
body knows, are entirely confined to
the American continent. In other
words, the same place in nature which
has been occupied in the tropics Of the
old world by group Of sparrow-like
birds, has been occupied in the tropics
of the new world by group of highly
developed swifts. Hence the hum
ming-birds, though descended from a
totally different ancestral stock, have
in the end acquired almost every one of
the peculiar features which the sun
birds display in our own eastern conti-
mental area. The same conditions have
in the end produced in both cases pretty
much the same results. At some re-
mote period, group of tropical Amer
ican sWifts began to hunt for insects
among the tubes of flowers, exactly as
the ancestral sun-birds began to do in
the eastern hemisphere. Gradually, as
the habit of foWer-haunting became
more and more pronounced, the organ
ization of the birds began to depart,
under the influence of natural selection,
more and more widely from the primi-
tive swift-like type. The birds best
a5aptad RI +I,n r,aur o;ro,, ~, eEl, ,oo. e,,r
vived and intermarried, while the worse
adapted died constantly out. The
short, broad bill was thus slowly length
ened into the extremely long, slender,
and graceful beak of the modern hum
ming-birds, and the wings were adapted
to the rapid, darting flight from flower
to flower, and the habit of posing sta
tionary in front of the chosen bunch of
blossoms. Yet to the end, the hum
ming-birds in their anatomical peculi-
arities still remain essentially swifts,
and are easily distinguished by a natu-
ralist from the extremely similar but
fundamentally different perching sun
birds. Indeed, Mr.. Wallace has shown
that humming-birds even now live, like
sWifts, mainly on insects, and when he
tried to feed some young humming-
birds in captivity on sugar and water
alone, he found they refused that un-
wonted fare in favor of flies and spiders.
In short, young humming-birds are
still essentially in the swift stage of
their development Illustrated Maga-

How They Ran a Daily.

''Did you ever start daily paper
No. Well, you ought to try it. Fall
ing down stairs with a stove on top of
you is nothing to be compared to it in
point of excitement. The name of the
paper was The Reuie,C, and it was
started to fill long felt want. Jerry
Cochrane was my partner. There were
several very comforting things on that
paper. For instance, Jerry and l al
ways knew on Monday that we would
not have enough money to pay the
hands off on Saturday, and we never
did. The hands knew it, too, so their
nerves were never shocked by a disap-
pointment. We ran that way for a
while, getting more deeply in debt all
the time. At last, one morning I en-
tered the Office and found Jerry looking
rather solemnly. Jerry, says I, you
want a partner Yes, we need a new
one, he rejoined. A business man,
said 1. 'One with executive ability
said he. A fnancier, observed. A
man who can take hold of things and
turn them into money, he concluded.
Then l have got the man you want
said 1, and introduced Frank Hitch
cock, the sheriff. Jerry said Frank was
the man he had been thinking of, so we
installed him at once. Sir, he proved
to be all we anticipated, and he ran the
paper with the greatest success until
he had turned it entirely into money.
When we wound up the concern, there
was nothing left but two passes-one to
Cincinnati and one to Burlington. We
divided them and went in different
directions. .',-Robert J. BlTdette.

A GOOD THING. Toledo has done
for its public schools just what every
city in the country should do, viz.
Added a department of manual labor
instruction, where a student can gain
an idea of practical occupation in
life. The common council has donated
five thousand dollars for the payment
of teachers in the new department, and
Jessup Scott gave by will an elegant
building, fully equipped with models,
charts and machinery by which the
department can be made model one
in every particular. The studies in
this department will not be compulsory,
but optional with the student. The
result will be that Toledo, like Boston,
which has taken the same steps, will
turn out young men well started in
life of practical usefulness and indie
pendence. Toledo is entitled to con-
graduation for her practical ideas of
education.-Pecb'S Sun.
