Canary Birds Committing Suicide.
New York Worl3


There was panic among the birds in
Paine's avisry, $50 Fulton street. the

birds OF all varieties are Gagged in the
little store, and so great was the excite

they beat their heads against the bars of
their cages, almost split their little Threats
screaming, and not few actually COM
mitted suicide.
A fire in che establishment next door
was the cause of the unusual commo,ion.
though little damage was done, the
flames merely scorching the woodwork
and the smoke barely penetrating TO
where the birds were. But even these
slight indications of fire drove the birds
nearly crazy.
They seemed to fully realize their dan
ger and were as eager to get to the open
air as If they were packed theatrical

The Man who Organised Giant
Monopoly.

The richest man in Cleveland if not
in Ohio, is the President of the Standard
Oil Company. Rockefeller is a young
man still, not more than so.
He is self-made man, q Baptist
liberal and generous. He owns fine
residence at the corner of Euclid and
Case avenues worth 800, 900, and on the
rear Of his lot he has barn which has
cost more than twenty ordinary houses.
His lot alone is worth what would be a
fortune for common man, and he has
also a magnificent country residence
eight miles out of the city, on the lake
shore, and good-sised house in New
York.
No one in Cleveland outside of Rock
afeller knows what Rockefeller is worth.
There is no doubt that the sum runs up
pretty far into the tens OF millions, and
most of his money is in Standard Oil
stock, which pays royal dividends. Still,
there are thousands Of men here who re-

PATRICK HENRY.
The Prophet Of the RevOlutiOn-
Where the Famous Orator
Was Born

(R. L. Clutter. in Detroit Free Press.l
Patrick Henry had more to do with
precipitatipg the American Revolution
than any man in the colonies. He was
not statesman, for he did not have dis
erection or foresight; but he was man Of
passion, "man of the people" as he has
been called. He hardly thought of the
consequence of his acts, but seemed to
propose them to see if they would work.

the truth of his assertion. One eloquent
speech brought him into the notice OF
the country, and elevated him from the
position of country attorney without
clients to that of mem Der of the House
of Burgesses. Two more of his eloquent
speeches made him the first Governor of
Virginia.
The charge that Henry was ignorant
had more room for foundation than the
one that charged him with being of low
origin. But this, too. il false. His
father was . man of education and acted
as tutor for his children, and young
Henry's uncle also resided near by. He
was Q minister, and it was from him that

that at IS he could read Horace and

Hate not. II is not worth while. Your
life is not long enough to make it pay to
cherish i'll will or hard thoughts toward
anyone.
What il that man has cheated you or
that woman played,you false? What if
this friend has forsaken you in your
time of need or that one having won
your utmos: confidence, your warmest
love, has concluded that he prefers to
consider and treat you as stranger?
Let it all pass. What difference will
1t make to you in few years, when
you go hence to the undiscovered
countryg'
All who treat you wrong now will be
more sorry for it than you, even in your
deepest disappointment and grief can be.
A few more smiles. few more tears,
some pleasure, much pain, little longer
hurrying and worrying in the world,
some hssty greetings and abrupt fare
wells, and life will be over, aud the in.
jurer and injured will be laid away, and
ere long forgotten. 1t is not worth while
to hate each other.

munities in the provinces Of Daghestan.

they are the descendants Of Pers an
Jews who arrived in Daghestan in the
fifteenth century. and who established
themselves some time later among the
Koumyks, whose princes greatly valued
their commercial aptitude and their
skill in the cultivation Of madden, rice
aud the vine. Considerably before the
Russian conquest Of the Caucasus these
Jews were established ut the aoul Of
Andreievsky. on the plateau Of koumyk.
and il was after this that they came into
the Tcrek, where they settled in place
named Portytch. between the present
stanitzas Of Schelkazayodskaia and
Stchedrinskaia. With the view Of moro
successfully resisting the attacks Of the
mountainee 8. they wcrt then installed
in the aouls Of Andrcicvsky, Tasch-
ketchi, Kizil-Yurt and others, which
they occupy at the present day.
They number about five hundred
families. They speak different dialects
Of the Circassian mountaineers. but they
prefer writing and talking the languages
OF Farsistan. which they brought with
them from Persia Their Talmud il
translated into that language. They
have nothing in common with Russian
Jews except their religion. which, how
