"A Brokeu-Hearted BIRD.

A correspondent thus writes: Nearly
twenty years ago l owned a pair of
beautiful canaries male being a
Having furnished them with the out
side rough form of nest in straw,
leaving them to complete its comforts
with bits of soft wool, down, and small
feathers, they were shortly in the happy
possession of four eggs. In due course
four young ones presented themselves,
to the evident delight of the parents,
who fed them from daylight to dark,
their favorite food being the yolk of
hard-boiled eggs. Time brought round
the period when, instead of raw, naked,
helpless creatures always "asking for
more" four full-fodged young birds
frisked about the cage like so many
pretty yellow balls of fine soft wool.
They grew to be very fine birds; and
first one friend and then another
coveted them, until all had gone but
one little youngling, which remained
last of the family was the delight of
their hearts; they fondled it, and
played with it as we have seen an affec-
tionate mother do with her child, and
seemed to exert themselves to amuse it
in every way their fancy prompted.
Probably a happier little family
never existed. But, alas! the spoiler
came. Another friend coveted the last
of the little flock. and it was taken
away. And from that moment the
joyous song of the male bird gave place
to a painfully feeble little chirp. He
sat on the perch with dropping heart
broken, spiritless aspect; his wings
hung down as if all power and vitality
had left him; and within twenty-four
hours from the time of his bereave-
ment he fell dead from the perch. The
atfectionate creature had evidently
died of grief for the loss of his zone
eve lamb" The cage was given away
with the remaining bird; and no induce
ments could tempt me again to run
the risk of perhaps unconsciously be-
ing the cause of so much unhappiness
and misery.-C Chambers journal.

Women Who Won't Marry.

A Pittsburg woman, in the Despatch
of that city, bluntly and somewhat
audaciously says:
Men marry the rattle brains of So
ciety. They choose the pretty, good
for-nothing girls, for that is the kind
they like; they run after and marry
he liveliest girl at picnic or bali,
though she may be a holy terror at
houle; they rush after the belle and
the hairess, though she may be selfish,
spoiled and silly; they pass by the
Jewels and take 1.-The snide," for that
is all they know. and then. Ike Adam,

here at home WHO have their own

have their own pleasant homes and
eongcnial occupations: who can, if the
fancy seizes them. pack their trunks
and take jaunt to New Orleans, slip
off to Washington for a few weeks,
take in the cream of New York, or the
balmv airs of Florida; in short, have
royal time in any way they choose,
who call no man master, and who
wouldn't marry the best man that

This will be shock to you. beloved
brethren. but is none the less trne.
Women find pleasure and comfort and
happiness outside of matrimony. 1t is
not tlattering to men. but there is
growing disinclination to marriage
among women. They are growing
more critical as to the measure of
man. He will have to come up to
nobler, higher standard, or, in the

Vanderbilt possesses the only real
memorials of the First Napoleon in
New York-a set of solid gold spoons
and forks that were secreted and car
ried away from the Tuileries by Jer-
ONE Bonaparte. Their highest value,
apart from their history. is found in the
adornment which graces their handles.
They are oval, and in the spoons each
contains an exquisite miniature of the
Queens of France. The handles of the
forks each display an enameled NINA
ture of the Kings of France of equally
exquisite finish. They were made by
the court jeweler for the Empress
Josephine, and were only used on state
occasions at the Tuileries,

khartOun.

1.-THE Land of the False Prophet" is
the title of the opening illustrated ar
ticle in the March Century, by General
r. E. Colston, who was formerly hey
in the Egyptian service. From it we
quote the following: '.Khartoum is
city numbering between fifty and sixty
thousand people. Several European
consuls reside there. The American
consul was AZar ADD el-Melek, a
Christian Copt from Esneh, and one of
the principal merchants. The Euro
pean colony is small and continually
changing; for Khartoum is a perfect
graveyard for Europeans, and in the
rainy season for natives also, the NOR
tally averaging then from thirty to
forty per day, which implies three
thousand to four thousand for the sea-
son. Khartoum is the commercial
center of the Soudan trade, amounting
altogether to sixty-five million dollars
year, and carried on by one thousand
European and three thousand Egyptian
commercial houses. Drafts and bills
of exchange upon Khartoum are as
good as gold in Cairo and Alexandria.
and Uice Uersd. From official sources l
learned that the city contained three
thousand and sixty houses, many of
them two-storied, each having from
ten to one hundred and fifty occupants.
Stone and lime are found in abundance,
and the buildings are, after fashion,
substantial, the houses belonging to
rich merchants being very spacious
and comfortable. There are large ba-
zaars, in which is found much greater
variety of European and Asiatic goods
than would be expected in such distant
regions. In the spacious market-place
brisk trade is carried on in cattle,
horses, camels, asses and sheep, as
well as grain, fruit and other agricul-
tural produce. Many years ago an
Austrian Roman Catholic mission was
established and literally supported by
the Emperor of Austria and by contri-
buttons from the entire Catholic world.
1t occupies large parallelogram sur
rounded by solid wall. Within this
Enclosure, in beautiful gardens of palm,
fig, pomegranate, orange, and banana,
stand massive cathedral, a hospital,
and other substantial buildings. Before
the people of Egypt and Soudan had
been irritated by foreign interference,
such was their perfect federation and
good temper that the priests and nuns,
in their distinctive costumes, were al
ways safe from molestation, not only
at Khartoum, but even at Ell Obeid and
the neighborhood, where the majority
are Mussulmans and the rest heathens.
1t was stated some months ago that
Gordon had abandoned the Governors
Dalace and transformed the Catholic
mission into fortress, its surrounding
wall and massive buildings rendering
it capable of strong resistance"

Rome Reconstructed.

Since the establishment of the con-
stitutional monarchy in Italy double
problem has been working itself out
how to make Rome a modern capital,
healthy, clean, and habitable, and how
to preserve the margin of recovered
ruins, and spread for the antiquary
(that epieure of decay his due table
of the broken victuals of the past.
Rome has been held in double grasp
of dead hands" for centuries. There
was the dead hand of the Roman Pom
tiffs, and behind it the dead hand of
time. The Rome of the Papacy has
been disentangling itself from the mod
ern and from the ancient city. The
great barracks of monkery and the
faded paldzzt, with their shadowy sar-
cophagous courtyards and precincts,
where gloom and uncleanness strove
for mastery. are rapidly diminishing
from most quarters of the city. Mod
ern taste and everyday needs have
swept a large area into that struggling
rus IN urbe patched by tracts of arid
desolation, the vineyard trailing over
leprous-looking rubbish, the lex nod
ding on the moldered gatehouse, the
scraggy tufts of plane and cypress
clothing scantily the ruin mounds of
ages, and squalid cottages or limekilns
clustering fungus-like on the gray vii
las walls. Through these the adile of
to-day breaks his way with plummet
and trowel, and the faded remnants of
shabby grandeur recede as he invades.
Here and there the pioneer of utilitar-
ianism unearths crumbled mosaics,
scraps of painted wall surface, decay
ed frescoes, fragmentary and chaotic
glimpses of the golden age of empire.
They peep from the chasm for a mo-
ment, catch the sunshine once again,
and then return to earth and resume
their thousand years of slumber. Yet
surprises and discoveries come thick
and fast, and, sifted from this refuse,
the stock of monumental trophies
which adorns the Capitoline Museum
is said to have more than doubled in
less than ten years. A policy of artist
ic reconstruction of the known haunts
of classic interest wherever possible.
and of careful preservation of frag-
ments where impossible, has for some
years prevailed; and the result is that
the eye of the well-read cOgnoScente
may reclothe those spots with their an
cient scenery, trace again the pave
ment of the Mia Sacra, and reconstruct
in imagination the temples and public
offices which echoed the footsteps OF
Horace.-Ihe Edin6Wg ReUteW.

College Expenses.

Although the difference in the
amount of money which students at
different colleges spend is very great,
there is not such disparity in the nee
essary expenses as many people sup
pose. At the city colleges, such as
Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, the nee
essary annual expenses may be 500
more than at Amherst, Dartmouth, or
Williams; but this slight increase is
more than counterbalanced by the aid
which the larger colleges offer TO in
digent students. Harvard has at her
disposal 122 scholarships, varying in
amount from S75 to $3.50, averaging
about 1926. In the Freshman year
there are two assignments made, and
it is possible for hard student to re-
ceive 5000 in scholarships during his
first year-a sum more than sufficient
to pay all his expenses. Here aid is
given to students who are needy. and
who stand high in their classes; but in
almost all other colleges those who in
tend to study for the university are the
favored ones, and at some colleges it
is impossible for any Others to receive
the slightest assistance.
Room rent, board, and tuition are
the principal items in the necessary ex-
penses; and of these room rent varies
the most. At Amherst. a student pays
$40 to 1925 for single room; at Will
Jams, S25 to 800; at Yale, $50 to $40;
while at Harvard the rent varies all
the way from S44 to $500, with very
few desirable rooms for less than $3.50.
OF course, if two students room to-
gether the expense is reduced one-half.
The difference in the second item,
board, is not nearly so great, the large
numbers at the city colleges rendering
cooperation much easier, and enabling
the students to procure better board at
less cost. 1t is possible to get as good
board for 81 week here at Memorial
Hall as could be got at Amherst or any
other college for S. or Sc. Tuition
ranges all the way from S12 per year
at Oberlin, Ohio, to 5000 at Columbia;
at Brown, Bowdoin, Princeton, and
Williams. it is $50; at Amherst, 800;
at Yale. $40, and at Harvard, $3.50.
By adding to the main items of expense
other necessary items, such as clothing,
fuel, washing, books, ETC., we can ar
rive at what may be called the mini
mum expense at the various colleges.
Statistics have been carefully prepared
at this point, and the following may be
said to be the very least annual expen-
diture which will carry a student
through the several colleges: Harvard,
S475; Yale, 1925; Amherst, Williams,
about S375.-HarUard Crimson.

TrOtterS VS.. PAGERS.

Individual trOtters of the first-class
have as yet sold for more money than
any PAGER. But allow me to predict that
the time will come when a tirst-clas5
PAGER will bring as much as a trotter of
the same degree of merit. You over
hear men talking nowadays about at
tending a meeting, many of whom can
not leave their business more than one
day perhaps, and nine out of ten of
this class will ask, What day do the
PAGERS 90? | want to see the side
wheelers. Any day at race meeting
where large field of PAGERS are adver-
tisea to start there will be good at
tendance. You can no longer ignore
the PAGER, he is bound to come to the
front; the public demand it.
There have been more genuine sur
prises in the pac ne races of the last
two years than in any other. The
general verdict is, 'No man can pick a
winner at pacing race" Some men
would sooner own a fast PAGER than be
President of the United States, in so
far as fun and money are concerned.
Until quite recently, fast PAGERS were
very scarce. can now name aum-
Der who can almost break watch with
their speed, number yet to hear from
not yet distinguished.
A PAGER moves side at time, or
the fore and hind legs of each side of
the animal move simultaneously. All
that is necessary is to have a level
head and a disposition to ''go on, !"
without which no horse is worth dol
lar as a race-horse. He should never
be allowed to trot. A double gated
PAGER is a fraud and a delusion. The
time is not far distant when some PAGER
will do mile IN two minutes. And,
moreover, | believe there will appear
on the turf within the next three years
a double team of PAGERS that will wipe
out all previous records, any way of
going; in other words, no running
mate to be employed. They must be
handled by good men, and have the
brain power requisite to accomplish it.
