WEST WASHINGTON.

Mrs. Nolkening, who has resided here for
many years and is well-known amongst the
German population, besides being we'll
acquainted with other citizens, died yester-
day about 2 o'clock Of pneumonia.
Teas appear to be the rage In this old
fashioned town. Last evening the daugh-
ter of the well-known merchant, Mr..
Benjamin Miller, gave one, making the
third which has taken place within the
past two weeks.
Mission work seems to be attracting the
attention Of the churches at present. The
West Street Presbyterian Church some
months ago started Mission Sabbath
School and prayer-meeting on the corner of
Twenty eighth and NJ streets, which
promises TO be great success, and here,
lately, Rev. Father Mccarthy S. D., and
Rev. Father Mcdonald, S. j., are holding
largely attended meetings at Trinity
Church.

The Mighty sword.

John Scroggins, white man, employed
as bartender at John Sweeney's saloon in
South Washington, was tried in the Police
Court to-day for assaulting colored man
named James Gallagher. They, with others,
were engaged in game of iive-cent ante,
when quarrel arose and Scroggins ordered
Gallagher out. He resisted and drew a
knife and scroggins drew cavalry sword
and slashed at the colored man and cut
him badly on the arm. Gallagher was also
charged with assaulting Scroggins. The
court could not decide that one was more
to blame than the other, and they gave
their personal bonds to keep the peace.

Not a chick spoke word till they were
almost back to the farm-yard gate. Then
one said in a mournful tone: The
grass is not as green as it was
The next one shook his head slowly
and added: 1.-The sky is not as blue as
it was and his eyes filled with tears.
''The leaves do not sparkle now, said
the white chick Il don't want any
more grasshoppers,' said the largest
chicken, and he wouldn't catch bic
one just before HIM in the path.
When they entered the farm-yard
their sad and downcast looks attracted
the attention of the hens and turkeys,
and they all came hurrying up to find
out what was the matter.
So the largest chick gave an account
of their long journey and the loss of their
young brother.
All listened attcntively, and when he
had finished speaking, wise old hen
said: "Well, chickens, I hope this mis-
fortune will teach you to be contented
with your lot in life. Here you have a
pleasant home, with plenty to eat and
drink and what does a chicken need
more ?'-Amt Emytn Boston WOman's

Bird Catching.
fOH7'HHk.

A party of twelve men working
in combination and rotation will net
between three and four thousand of birds
in day, valued at a penny apiece; and
a little later in the season you may see
these birds hanging by hundreds at a
time in Farce outhouses, there to div
after fashion for future nsu.nption.
A native FaroeSe would consider he was
dining luxuriantly on half dozen of
these Shrivelled anatomies Stewed or
baked in whale fat. But, even apart
from the "whale liqueur,' to stranger
the birds do not especially recommend
themselves. The manner in which a
Faroe fowler goes to work is rather in
teresting. He has primarily to consider
the wind, inaSmuCh as this is the chief
assistant force which he presses into his
service. If the wind be favorable he
takes his long net, mounted on a stout
wooden handle and frame, and goes to
that particular cleft or crevice in the sea
rocks which he knows to offer chance
tor sport. Down here he carefully
Chambers, until he finds good standing
and working room where the birds are
busting past him before the wind. 1t is
then matter of muscles and routine.
BY barring the passage with his net he
inevitably catches all the birds that con-
tlnue their flight through the rift, and
his attributes must be mainly those of
strength and endurance. Ofcourse, not
everywhere can fowler attain to his
perch by the exclusive use of his legs.
Infinite pluck and nerve are both nee

What Happened to the
Chicken.

that they should like better to live down
in the meadow by themselves thanin the
yard with SO many hens and turkeys.
So, one bright summer morning, as
soon as the sun was up, they set out on
their journey to the meadow, running
and jumping, and Tapping their little
wings with delight,
ooh, how beautiful it is!'' cried one.
q never saw the grass so green.
81 never saw the sky so blue, said
another
Il never saw the leaves shine and
sparkle 50, said pretty white chick.
81 never found so many grasshop-
perS, said the largest chicken, as he
gobbled one up.
uSt then a robin red-breast flew on
tree near by and began to sing a sweet
song. naH ,haa ~ asms..r +
The chickens stopped to listen.
81 can sing better than that bird, ="
said the smallest chick. Clear me.
Peep peep peep"
No, little brother" said the oldest
chicken, Il don't think we can sing
quite SO we'll as the birds, but we know
more than they do. Why, that bird is
afraid of our old yellow cat. | saw it
fly away the other day when kitty came
to the door to look out.
ooh, what silly bird!' cried the
other chickens. "We wouldn't be afraid
ola cat W
Then on they hurried again, as pleas
ed and happy as any little chickens in
the world.
They had almost reached the meadow
when suddenly they heard strange
noise over their heads. What was it!
They all stopped, looked up, and, oh,
dear there right over their heads, get
ting ready to pounce down upon them,
they saw fierce gray hawk. Poor
frightened chickens What were thew
to do?
They hadn't time to think about that
though, for in an instant the hawk was
down and had caught the smallest chick
in her sharp claws.
OH she flew with it to the nest where
her hungry young ones were waiting for
their dinner, and only five little chickens
were left
They watched the hawk in her fight
through the air till they could see her no
longer, then turned sorrowfully back
towards the old home they had left so
merrily.

when she p'eases. In short, she has
made the proclamation that the postoffice
will be open only on two days OF the

the woman that nothing bat ten hours >

generations OF men who have always kept
pace with the march OF progress, and
being in the world are decided part of
it and its affairs. In matters temporal as
well as spiritual, the French Canadian
looks to the Church for advice and coun-
sci, while his brother Catholic of the
United States, yielding full obedience to
the spiritual laws OF his church, has
learned the truth of the great American
precept, God helps those who help
themselves, and 40 strikes out in
the battle with the world, unhampered
by any consideration, either OF self
or church, regarding only the country's
law, and knowing that in obeying that,
he cannot break the law OF the Church.
The personnel too, OF the Catholic
clergy in the United States differs vastly
from that in Canada, and the Knights OF
Labor have no more steadfast friends in
the world than many OF these gentlemen
are, and when they are friends, the
world knows they are friends indeed.

THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

Fresh from their questionable victory,
the cohorts OF Salisbury assembled in
Westminster yesterday and took the
initiative in what is sure to prove the
bitterest legislative session ever recorded
in the voluminous history OF England
For once the English people have chosen
a set OF men who are not equal to the
occasion, and to make their inability to
cope with the present difficulties greater,
they are opposed by band Of the ablest
minds in all Christendom. The bitter
animosties generated in the hearts and
minds OF the minority by reason of the
approved business OF their cause, and their
inability to help themselves to establish
it, will crop out in every available place
and time, and when Salisbury comes to
realize the true nature OF the power
opposed to him, he will be something
more than human ii he does not quail at
his task. The Queens speech, ordinarily
as empty as sucked egg, is full to reple-
ton this time with deep meaning, though
