Peculiar Ymitativeness of This Feathered

Peculiar Ymltativeness of This Feathered
songster-Wonderful NIimicry.
I remember distinctly hearing a
thusher often repeating in its madcap
song some notes new to my ear, which
could not be ascribed to any Michigan
bird of my acquaintance. After
patiently waiting for some time in tho
glsring sun of a bright June day ]
heard the notes SO plainly that was
thoroughly convinced they were an
Sanitation of the song of southern
bird-the ''chuck-will's widow" so
called, species allied to our whip
poor-will, and named-it is our familiar
northern representative of the family
from the words so plainly uttered.
This thrush learned, then, the notes OF
che chuckwill's widow at least five hun
dred, and probably quite a
thousand miles from Michi-
gan, and yet reproduced them
so distinctly that one could easily
distinguish them, and from mere de-
scriptions in books at once tell the
name of the bird initiated.
Here, mounting to the top of the
tallest tree near its nest, it pours forth
ecstatic melody, executing the most
difficult strains with the same ease that
It delivers the simplest news. All
noises are attempted: the schoolboy's
whistle, the bark of dog or the bleat-
ing of lamb are equally well executed
and issue from its throat in continu-
Gus, harmonious strain, frequently of
an hours duration. What wonderful
mimicry; what contrast to the best
attempts of ventriloquists and imita-
tors travelling through the country to
reproduce before audiences a few num-
bled sounds or attempted limitations of
the sounds and notes uttered by birds
and mammals.-DT. GSbb, in Forest

Is 1t 'POssu1n or Grow !

Some of the gentlemen who at one
time were apparently determined to as
sist Mr.. Cleveland, without an invita-
tion, in the direction of his administra-
tiOn have now evidently changed their
tactics. They have discovered that 1T
was Mr.. Cleveland who was elected
President of the United States, and that
he knows it. When Mr.. Eustis got mad
and talked, when political editors de-
nOunced the appointment OF men who
were not of their clique, when certain
Washington correspondents" were try
ing to show that the Democratic party
was on the verge of dissolution, or
something of that sort, because the
bosses were not allowed to dictate the
civil service list, there seemed to be an
impression abroad that the President
might be frightened into submission.
But now the minds of those unhappy
citizens to whom we refer have been
disabused. The logic OF events has
cleared up their mental vision, and they
recognize the fact that the man IN the
White House is too consciously master
of the situation to be greatly alarmed
by a tempest in a teapot. And since
somebody must give way, they have
concluded to do SO themselves. On the
whole, we commend their wisdom.
They have bowed to fate as gracefully
as could have been expected. only the
other day they were roaring. Bottom
like, "that it would do any mans heart
good to hear Hem,n and already they
are roaring you as gently as any SUCK
ing dove" Yes; they do see that civil
service reform is good thing, after all.
Really, the service ought to be taken
out of politics and nationalized. The
President ought to look beyond his
party and its factions. He owes duty
to the whole body of the people.
This is sound doctrine; why was it
not preached all along? Why, when
the President began to practice it, did a
certain Senator get mad and talk
Why did certain political editors get
mad and write, and why did Washing
ton correspondents grow gloomy over
the prospect of a President without a
party behind him i? These are hard
questions, and we will not press for an
answer; but we think that we have
plucked out the heart of their mystery,
as Hamlet has it. When the probes
sional politicians schemes are broken
up, he tries to save the pieces. 1t he
can't get crumb he will take crust-any
| little thing to feed the boys. Above all,
he looks out for prestige. When he
can't stop the procession, he joins it.
When he finds that he is not strong
enough to beat man, he takes off his
bat and hurrahs for him. Then he
says: II told you so. That's my way
of thinking. What a grand old party
the Democratic party is anyhow !" But
somehow the boys are not able to un-
derstand. 1t seems to them that intiu-
ence does not amount to as much as
they had been led to expect, and they
will tell you contidentially that they
"never did eat 'possum they enjoyed
SO little. ."-Picayune.

The speaker of the delegation was
Uncle, Alfred Jackson, now eightY-two

AT HIS MEALS.
How the Shah of Persia Breaks HE'S Fast
and What He Eats.

ana "hRG k48 EBG6s
At twelve o'clock the royal break
fast is served. It is solitary meal, The
King is squatting on the ground, some
fifty dishes are set before him. His
Majesty selects the simplest, and
quenches his thirst with buttermilk or
iced sherbets, which are served in deli
cious profusion in magnificent china
bowls. Dead silence is observed by the
few favored oourtiers who stand around
the walls of the apartments. The
royal buffers silently hand the various
dishes. As the King eats he addresses
