the birds are literally stuffed with food,
Of which maize, moistened with poppy
oil, is the base. Pending the last day of

The presence of ball Of fat under
each wing indicates that the psychologi-

Ths Euturs Of EIactrinitu.

A writer in Chambers Journal thinks
that the use of electricity will work
wonderful and unexpected changes in
the near future. 1t would be the means
of converting the waste forces Of nature
into an available form. Its supply of
force is incomparably greater than all
the coal fields of the world could furnish.
One eminent inventor already lights his
house with electricity derived from the
water-power Of small stream some fur
longs distant. 1t would be just as easy
to apply that power to work sewing ma
chimes, lifts, sawpits, or local railway.
The smallest waterfall, the force of an
utterly neglected stream, could furnish
half dozen households with motive
power sufficient for all domestic pur-
poses to which machinery could be APP
piled. The Thames could light London,
and have force yet to spare for all the
machinery Of every factory on its banks.
Another important point in the promise
if not the performance Of electricity is
the power of storage. We cannot store
up steam or wind or sun heat in their
native form; but each of them may
be made the source of electricity
that can be stored. Boxes OF
electric force originally supplied by
coal or water power, or it might be by
the tide or by the sails of windmill,
can furnish light to household, motive
power to tricycle. or a sewing machine.
As yet the power of storage is inconveni
emily limited; that is, the boxes are in con-
veniently large and heavy. But electrici-
ans expect to find means of storing very
much larger power in very much smaller
bulk. When this is done, locomotive,
a boat, carriage, or tricycle. can be
supplied at starting with portable mo-
tive-power Of an amount capable Of driv-
ing it for SO many hours at an ascertained
speed. Among the benefcent results to
be brought about by the use of electricity
is its possible use in isolated households.
The employment Of steam has brought
about our factory system, and has led to
q concentration Of population in large
cities. But electrical power is divisible,
and 9 be used economically in smaller
quantities; hence its tendency will be to
distribute rather than concentrate popu-
lations. AS yet we can scarcely conceive
the mighty changes that WILDE brought
about not only in the industrial arts but
to social conditions Of mankind due tc
the use of electrical power. Dcmorssts.

GEN. HAzEN REPRIMANDED.
Sentence OF the COurt-EIartfal in the
Chief signal Officers Cases

Sentence OF the COurt-BIartial i'm the
Chief Signal Officers Case
The court-martial proceeding in the case
Of General William B. Hazen, chief Of the
signal service, has been made public The
sentence is a reprimand, which is made by
President Cleveland as follows:
''The proceedings, findings and sentence in
the case of Brigadier- General William r
Hazen, chief signal officer, %. -S. a., are
hereby approved. In giving effect 10 the SEN
served that the more exalted the rank
held by an officer Of the army the greater is
the responsibility resting upon him to afford
through his own subordination to his superior
officers an example for all others who may be
of inferior rank in the service. To an Of
ticer of fine sensibilities the mere fact Of be-
ing brought to trial before q court-martial
ment In the foregoing case the
accused, whose high rank and
long experience in the ser
vice should have inspired him with full
realization Of that respect for constituted au-
thority which is essential to military dlsc1-
pline, had been adjudged guilty Of indulging
in unWarrRnted and captlOuS criticism OF his
superior officer, the secretary Of war, there
by setting a pernicious example sub
versive of discipline and the interests OF
the service. Subordination is necessarily the
primal duty of a soldier, whatever his grade
may be. In losing sight Of this principle the
accused has brought upon himself the con
demnation of his brother officers who ex
amined the charges against him and seriously
impaired his own honorable record Of pre-
vious conduct. 1t is to be hoped that the les
son viii not be forgotten. General Hazen
will be released from arrest and resume the
duties OF his Office

81 didn't at all like the tone in which
be made that remark, and I was about
to reply little haughtily. suppose he
saw the expression on my face, and he
stopped me from speaking by holding
up his hand.
"sDon't say any more, Captain Hamil-
ton. fought to have.stopped you before
I couldn't possibly marry you to the
lady
"'Why not, Captain SMITH I asked,
rather warmly.
"tBecause, sir, I couldn't very well
marry you to my own WIFE,
"'What2' I almost shrieked.
"'My wife, he answered, firmly. 7
am very sorry you should be placed in
SO unpleasant a position. 1t is partly
my fault, but much more that Of your
own youth and rashness. You are an
officer and q gentleman, and will respect
the secret am about to contide to you.
81 felt so utterly crushed that | was
scarcely sensible Of where was. Ger
tainly did not fully understand all he
was saying, but / managed to retain
sense enough to bow my head in sign Of
assent.
81 was married, said the captain,
when was last home, to Miss Latimer,
who was left an orphan under unusually
sad circumstances and surroundings.
She dreaded to be left in England alone.
The owners of this line do not allow
their captains to have their
wives with them even as passen-
gers. We therefore decided to keep our
marriage secret, and my wife booked as
passenger under her maiden name. Not
soul on board except yourself knows
the truth. l trust to you to keep it sa.
cred, for don't want to retire yet for a
voyage or two.'
/ am sure don't know how / got
from his cabin to my own, but once in
the latter, bolted the door, and never
came out till the next morning can't
tell if the captain ever confded to his
wife what took place in his cabin, but
sometimes fancied I could see in her face
when her eyes fell on me, an expression
of mingled pity and amusement that Z
never noticed there before. One thing l
was sure of, however, and that was that
when I became more familiar with her
did not think her quite SO pretty as l did
at first.
s'When the Winchester touched at St.
Helena, l arranged with Captain Smith
that should go ashore there, and wait
for the next vessel of Greene's line. We
made i'll health and the need of land air
the excuse.
THAT time in the captains cabin was
the most awkward moment I ever knew.
suppose I am the only fellow who ever
asked man to marry him to his own
wife. At any rate, if there is another,
he has my sympathy. ."-Jsslidn Magnus,
in Harper's Weekly.

AN AMAzoNrAN FAREWELL
Wen. we have threaded through and throug
The cleaning forests. Fairy Isles,

Well, we have threaded through and throug
The cleaning forests Fairy Isles,
Begirt In Gods eternal smiles,
As fallen stars in fields of blue;
Some futile wars with subtle love
That mortal never vanquished yet
Some symphonies by angels set
In wave below, in bough above
Were yours and mine; but here adieu
Yet II it come to pass some days
That you grow weary, sad, and you
Lift up deep eyes from dusty ways
OF mart and moneys to the blue
And pure, cool waters, isle and vine,
And bathe yon there, and then arise
Refreshed by one fresh thought Of mine,
Irest content; kiss your eyes,
I kiss your hair in my delight,
kiss my hand to say "Good-night.n
May love be thine by sun or moon;
May peace be thine by stormy way,
Through all the darling days Of May,
Through all the genial days Of June,
To golden days that die in smiles
OF sunset on the blessed isles.

by bullet, and died in a few minutes. "A des-
perRte struggle was made to capture his body

1t is seemly that we should allow the
faults Of the dead to drop by silence into
forgetfulness, and that we should speak
lovingly and truthfulIy of their merits;
but to pronounce panegyrics upon them
that are knowingly underserved, merely
because they have passed away from us,
is casting contempt on truth which will
not be borne with impunity.

 Magdalen shook her head. Don't be unreaSonable, demonstrated Will" what about me5 Don't care for you ?"
 His voice was full of tenderness which Magdalen shyly ignored.

Magdalen," he said, "if tell you love you, worship you, think of you night and day, could you answer anything but that you don't care whether do or not ?" It was out now.

 "Why, Will," she said raising her eyes to his; !" it was just you that 1 minded most of all about; but you dont-you can't really mean"
 Will did not find it very difficult to sat- isfv her that he could and did mean all and more than he had said. Great was the amazement of the Fosters when pres eutly they rc-entercd the sitting-room to- gether, and Will announced that he never mean, to say goodbye to Magdalen at all. Mir. Fosters consent given, he changed his plans, invested all his capital in the east after all, and eventually settled down on large farm near the Fosters, as hap. pv a husband, with as happy wife, as was to be found in the United States.

 Magdalen went up to her room, when the party was over, in a very miserable frame of mind. As she cast a retrospect over her life of late, it seemed to her that her success at Wellesley had cost her everything she most cared about. She did not know how much her three years at Wellesley had done for her. She was not in a position to realize the ail-impor- tant difference between her habit of mind and that of Nora's, between her unvorld- illness and Nora's worldliness.
 The twilight deepened, and at last Will could delay the inevitable leave taking no longer. Magdalen kept out of the room. Wills going was the must terri ble thing that had ever happened to her, and she would rather not say good bye at all, than have to do it careiessly before them all.
