GOLD mining is attracting more and
more attention everywhere through
out the civilized world. The pro-
duction of gold is decreasing and the
amount required is constantly in
creasing. The consequence is that
the purchasing power of gold is great
er every year. Gold mining is almost
the only industry whose product is
more valuable the "harder" the times
and the less 1t costs to produce. 1t is
almost the only mineral product that
never depreciates in value and that
never oyersEocks the market.

BEAUTIES OF HEBREW POETRY.
Hebrew poetry is marked by great
originality. There is also wealth
and appositeness of illustration which
is peculiarly Palestinian. The East
ern imagination is more exuberant
than would be acceptable in our
Western lands, and the "Song of
Songs" is an example this, although
rightly interpreted is very beautiful.
The psrsonitication of abstract ideas
and material objects is natural to the
Oriental mind. But 1t is in grand
eur and loftiness of sentiment that
the singers OF Israel stand pre- emil .
nsnt above all other poets.

SHOWERS OF DEAD BIRDS.
In Migrating They Strike Electric Lights
and Locomotive Headlights.
rru....1..,a plat,, TAaoto.

Huu AfoNNMhVAANN AN@N-AbAN'~
cleveland Plain. Dealer.1
Every telegraph messenger boy that en'
tered the newspaper Offices last night had
his pockets full of crippled or dead birds
Night policemen coming in at luncheon
time had scores Of them, and reported that
they were continually dropping about the
bases Of the Eve electric light masts.
EARLY risers this morning found the ground
about the electric light masts covered with
dead birds.
A similar phenomenon was observed
about year ago. A local naturalist who
works for the Smithsonian Institution,
said: "The birds Of which so many were
killed were mainly warblers. Ipicked up
over twenty species. The death rate was
much less than one night year ago. The
warblers have a certain date for migrat-
ing southwark, and from carefully kept
records can always tell within day or
two when to expect them. They come
from various latitudes, but all seem TO
come together, as it were, at certain rem
dezvous, to make their Southern tour
together. Some Of the birds found
dead here this morning were from
SO far north that their breeding ground is
not definitely known. When migrating
they fly during the night and rest and eat
during the day. Under favorable condi-
tions they fly quite distance above the
city, but last evening the air was light and
they few low. This condition and the
cloudy sky bewildered them and the pow
erful electric lights attracted them. As
they neared the tall masts they were
blinded by the light, and aew against the
wires and masts with such force that they
were killed by the conclusion. 1t is a pop
ular fallacy that they are killed by a
shock Of electricity from the wires. Birds
| follow certain route in migrating, and
this city seems to be in the line Of great
deal Of bird travel. A close observer can
on q quiet night at this time Of the year,
hear for hours the chirp of myriads ol
birds winging their way southwark. The
warblers that are now migrating make
about thirty miles an hour from dark tc
daylight bus some birds that traverse
this route 90 at speed Of eighty miles an
hour, notably pigeons and some species oi
ducks. The birds seemed bewildered IL
all sections last night. A locomotive en-
tering the Union Depot from the West had
layer of dead birds on the pilot, and en-
gineers Of south bound trains were an.
nOyed by birds flying apparently toward
the headlights, and striking continually
against the cab"

THE FUTURE GREAT.
Origin Of a Fanally which Now Occupies
Some Space In Europe.

London Idfe.l
Now that everybody Is talking Of Prince
Alexander Of Bulgaria, II may be Of In
terest TO note that his maternal grand
father, Count Hauck, was man Of very
obscure parentAge. Sixty years ago
Hauck entered the service Of Count Bruhl,
the head Of the museum ct Dresden, as Q
copying clerk. After a few months he
went to Warsaw, and, though a man ofno
particular attalnments, started small
paper devoted to military matters. This
brought him under the notice OF the Grand
Duke Constantine, who was then Cover
nor Of Warsaw, and gave his son a COM
mission In the Russian army. With such
patronage young Hauck, though Of small
education, was rapidly advanced,
and few years after was
raised to the rank Of Colonel
and created Count Il Is a
mystery even now what services he rend-
cred to the Grand Duke to entitle him to
such exceptional fayors. However, he did
not enjoy his good fortune long, as in tho
Polish insurrection Of 1890 he was among
the frst victims, being snos oeao as ne
was on the point Of leaving his house.
Hauck's services to the Grand Duke seem
to have been Of such q special character
that after his death his daughter was
brought up at the expense Of the Russian
Government by the influence Of her
fathers late patron. When hardly out Of
her teens she made the acquaintance Of
Prince Alexander Of Hesse- Darmstadt, the
brother Of the late Empress Of Russia,
who, in spite Of the remonstrances Of bis
relatives, insisted upon marrying her.
This mesalliance compelled him to relin-
quish his position at the Imperial Court
and return to Darmstadt with his wife,
who was created Princess Of Battenberg.
The history of this family is most extraor-
binary, seeing that one Of the offspring Of
this union-Prince Alexander Of Bulgaria
has just set Europe at defiance in East
ern Roumelia, whilst another has married
the youngest daughter Of tho Queen and
the third Her MAjesty's granddaughter
the daughter Of the Grand Duke Of Hesse

INGENIOUS BEAUTIES.

Moses.

bismarck Cd. IT, Tribune.l
Three Philadelphia bellies attracted con.
siderable attention on last evenings east
bound passenger train. They had been to
California, had visited the National Park,
and were en- route home. While in the
park the young ladies manufactured
dresses Of leaves and mosses, which they
gathered from the glens and brooks along
the route. The dresses were most artistic.
ally made, and we're as beautiful as novel.
The plan Of construction was the same as
that used in the construction of paper
dresses. The ground work, or foundation,
was cloth, and the leaves and MOSES were
artistically sewed upon the same. The
leaves were the most beautiful ornaments,
every tint Of the autumn forests being
represented. The dresses we're made un-
der an agreement between the young
ladies' that the novel costumes should be
worn at the first ball given at their home
in the Keystone State. But the dresses
were too beautiful toremain inltheir trunks.
The temptation to appear in them and Gre

and yesterday morning they donned thom,

The Mugm1mps have won a victory.
They have succeeded IN influencing the
President 10 reappoint Pearson Post
mast-r at New York. 1t is said that the
President thought that some concession
ought TO be made 10 tne wishes OF tie
Mugwumps who rendered valuable ser
vice 20 the Democratic cause in the Presi-
Dental contest. Il Is also said that it
was urged that civil service reform would
receive a severe shock II Pearson were
not reappoInted.
As Pearson was not a Mugwump but
a Blaine Republican. it is not easy 10 see
how his eappolntmentc can be regarded as
a concession to them.
If they claimed Lis reappo;ntment on
the ground that he was a most efficient
Postmaster. and that his resppoint-
ment would be in keeping
with the spirit a TIE civil service
law, then the Pearson case becomes
precedent for reappoin;ment in every
other case where the occupant Of an Office
can show that he has administered his
trust honestly, efficiently and to the en-
tire satisfaction Of the public.
Tho President and the Democratic party
are pledged to civil service reform. and
are supposed 10 be as sincere as the Mug
wumps are; out even the extreme civn
service retormers have never expected
that because a Republican, who occupies
an important Office which does not come
within the jurisdiction Of the civil SER
( vice law, has discharged his duties faith
/ frfH 10, 4
mitted 10 hold mis- Office for the remain
der Of his life. II Pearson maintains
+ a clean record he viii be Just as much
entitled to reappointment four years
hence as ne was at the end Of hi8 last
term, aud there are plenty Of otner Re
publicans, doubtless, who have as good
\ reasons for asking for reappOintment as
Pearson had. If civil service reform
( would have received a shock If Pearson
had not been appointed, why will it not
receive a shock if other Republicans with
( clean records are not reappointcd;
If Pearson had been a Nugwump and
/ had supported the Democratic cause there
would have been much more excuse for
reappointing him, because in that case
his reappointment would have been a
/ concession to the Muswumps.
1t seems to be very evident that there
Will be no removals from Offices which are
covered by the civil service law, ex-
cept for cause, and the impress
sion seems to be that in many cases
occupants OF Offices which do not come
under the civil service law will be allowed
4 10 servo out their terms. II. therefore,
the Pearson case is to become a precedent
the outlook for Democrats who are seek
ing places is not very encouraging.
