A Walk in Atlantic City.

As they walked back to tho hotel
through a sandy avenue lined with jig-
saw architecture, Miss Benson pointed
out to them some things that she said
had touched her a good deal. In the
patches of sand before each house there
was generally an oblong little mound
set about with a rim of stones, or, when
something more artistic could be afford
cd, with shells. On each of these little
graves was a flower. sickly geranium,
or a humble marigold, or some other
floral token of affection.
Mr.. Forbes said he never was at q
watering-place before where they buried
the summer boarders in the front yard.
Mrs. Benson didn't like joking on such
subjects. and Mr.. King turned the direc-
ton of the conversation by remarking
that these seeming trifes we're really Of
much account in these days. and he
took from his pocket a copy of the city
newspaper, The Summer Sea- Song,
and read some of the leading items: IS,
our eye is on you" The Slopers have
come to their cottage on @ Street, and
come to stay" '.Mr. E. p. Borum has
painted his front steps" '.Mr. Diffen-
dorfer's marigold is on the blow" And
so on, and 50 or This was probably
the marigold mentioned that they were
looking at
The most vivid impression, however.
made upon the visitor in this walk was
that of paint 1t seemed unreal that
there could be 50 much paint in the
world and so many swearing colors.
But it ceased to be q dream. and they
were taken back into the hard practical
world, when as they turned the corner,
Irene pointed out her favorite sign:
Silas Lapham, mineral paint.

QUEER Thieves.
Fanny Cases Of Stealing Reported to thu
Police Of q Good City.

Fanny Cases Of Stealing Reported to the
Police Of a Good City.
Two OR three funny cases of thiev-
ing have lately come to light" said a
detective recently, as he exhibited a
pendulum clock without any pendu-
lum to it. ''For instance, this clock
was stolen out of a house on Hastings
street BY . woman living on Antoine
street for no other purpose than to get
the pendulum. The thief had o'clock
minus the motive power, and she ar
ried this home, put the pendulum on
her clock, and then placed the rest Of
the time-piece on the sidewalk. The
rightful owner Of the pendulum now
has it in his pocket, and is at the po-
lice court for a warrant.
''For instance again, a peddler's
wagon was left on High street q few
nights ago. During the night the hind
wheels were taken off and another and
poorer pair substituted. and it was not
until they broke down that the peddler
discovered the cheat.
But the funniest case Of all happened
about two weeks ago. A colored woman
living on Beaubien street had a very
nice canary bird and a handsome cage.
One day while she was out some one
came and exchanged cages and birds
Feeling q bit conscience-striken ove1
the transaction, the thief left a silver
dollar in the bottom of the ri -Iety old
cage - boot money."-Da..,t Nu

Intelligent Mules.

Hartwell is noted for intelligent mules,
as well as for intelligent people. A
team of the former was sent to the city
Tuesday for a heavy load Of merchan-
disc. On the way up from the bottoms
they held a meeting and unanimously
decided that the load was too big, and
that they would go on a strike. They
tried it At Fifth and Vine. but the
driver was too vigorous with his whip.
At Sixth and Vine they adopted other
tactics. and Mr.. Near Mule fell down.
For q long time he resisted all efforts to
get up. but finally, after the persuasive
Influences Of a crowbar had been used,
regained his feet. As soon as he was
up Miss OF Mule took her turn, and
down she went This game of see-saw
was played for half an hour, until the
driver wa thoroughly e1asperated, and

little moro than smell the food. Each
pauper rang a bell, and his share VA
delivered to him through a small open
ing, so that neither girer nor receiver
could see each other. One day the dog
waited till all wcrc served, when he
took tho rope in his mouth and rang
tho bell. The trick succeeded, and was
repeated tho next day with the same
success At length the cook finding
that twenty-one portions wero doled ont
instead of twenty, determined to find
out the thief. and Mt last the clever dog
was detected. But when the monks
heard the story, they rewarded the dogs
ingenuity by allowing him to ring the
bell every day, and a mess Of broken
victuals wa thenceforth regularly served
out to him in his turn.

WOMEN AND BIRDS.
A Cruel Fashion Which IL Unworthy Of
American Women.

A Cruel Fashion Which Ia Unworthy Of
American Womcn
Women were once tainted with their
devotion to their canaries. A more Sc
rious accusation can now be brought
against them. The alarming decrease
of American song and shore birds has
been deplored by lovers of nature for
many years. It has been due in part to
unavoidable causes, such as the drain
age of marshes the conversion of wood
lands into farms, the destruction of for
ests and rapid settlement Of the country,
but a much larger share of the cxtermi.
nation of bird-life Is directly attributable
to feminine folly. An interesting and
valuable supplement of Saence discloses
the magnitude Of the evil and suggests
legislative remedies. Il is plain. how
ever, that the friends Of the birds can not
hope to accomplish their purpose by
means of legislation unless they
can appeal successfully to pub
lie sentiment for adequate sup
port and encouragement. Sim
gularly enough, they must begin by de-
claring war upon modern fashions
and enlisting the sympathics of sensible
American women. Wanton and i'm
provident as is the destruction of birds
for sport, food and scientific and anna
teur collections. the slaughter is mainly
conducted for the millinery trade.
Some of the details of this wholesale
sacrifice of bfrd-life on the altar of
fashion are of startling significance.
NoNn God Al ON tn,.,e have laop

of the hat trade. At Cobb's Island. on

Gently succeeded in filling a contract

birdAskins of gulls. sea-swallows and
terms, ut 40 cents apiece. The demand
for egret and heron plumes has ex-
tended the line of slaughter from Flor
ida all along the Gulf coast In Texas
sportsmen receive orders from New
York for the plumes of white egrets
in lots of 10000. The prairies
and. mountain wales of the far
West are secured for birds of
small sizes and every variety of plum
age, and from the Pacific coast hun
dreds of thousands of bird-skins are
shipped annually. Nearer home the
coast line of Long Island. once one of
the favorite haunts of sea-birds. has been
the scene of indiscrimate butchery.
Terms and sea-swallows have well-nigh
disappeared from the marshes between
Coney Island and Fire Island. which ten
years ago we're their breeding-gound.
At Seaford, Moriches, Greenport and
many other towns the slaughter of birds
for the millinery trade is a lucrative
means of livelihood; and the New Jer-
soy coast is ravaged in the most merci-
less hammer The land-birds suffer in
the same way. Robins, g~old-winged
woodpeckers. humming-birds, thrushes,
orioles, cedar wax-wings, blue-birds and
meadow larks are shot by the thousand
and the skins and plumage SEN to the
shops to be used in frivolous ornitho-
logical displays in female head-dress.-

once visited a pleasant country
house. the owner of which had a power
full and sagacious dog called Major.
This dog was highly priced by his
master and by the people of the neigh
borhood. He had saved many lives.
Once when a swing-ropc became en-
tangled around the neck of a little girl,
Major held her up until help came.
One day the butcher brought in his
bill for Majors provisions. Majors
master thought it altogether too large,
and shaking the paper angrily at the
dog. he said.
"See here. old fellow. you never ate
all that meat-did you?"
The dog looked hard at the bill,
shook himself all over. regarded the
butcher with contempt, and then went
back to his rug, where he stretched
himself out with a low growl of dis
satisfaction.
The next Sunday, Just as service
began at the village church, into INV
friends pew vaulted Major.
The Major kept perfectly quiet until
We all arose for prayer; then he sprang
upon the seat; stood on his hind-legs.
placed his fore-paw upon the front of
the pew behind, and stared gravely and
reproachfuliy into the face of the
butcher, who locked very much con-
fused, and turned first red and then
pale. The whole congregation smiled
and Uttered. Majors master at once
took the dog home. But the buSchef
was more considerate in his charges
from that time. Evidently he felt
mortified and conscience-stricken.-

A CURIOUS Savings Bank.

Some years ago, an old wooden bridge
spanned the Schuylkill river At the foot
Of Penn street, Reading, Pa. In the
course of time a more substantial
structure was deemed necessary, and
the timbers of the old bridge were care
fully taken apart, and reserved for use
in repairing and rebuilding the smaller
county bridges. While preparing some
of this old timber for its new use, a few
days ago, it became necessary to saw of
several feet from a heavy piece, which
was t o be used as a girder in a small
bridge under contemplation. When
the end portion dropped to tho ground,
the workman was astonished to hear a
jingling sound As of gold and silver
coin. A m m Of such good omen
insured a speedy investigation. which
resulted In finding eagles, half eagles,
silver dollars, halves, and quarters
mixed together in careless confusion.
The source of supply was found in a
section about eighteen inches in length
and five inches deep, which had been
followed out of the log with anger and
chisel. An inch thick cover had been
