THURSDAY EVENING, MAY "a.

INSTINCT OF THE ORIoLE.--A remarkable
case of bird instinct was related at Harris
burg, Fa, a few days ago by Miss Laura
Gildea. of Gaysport. Pa. She visited the
home of George NJ. Seibert near Duncans-
vile, Blair county, last October, and ore
day while walking through the woods she
spied an orioles nest with four fedglings 10
1t. The parent birds were apparently not
in the vicinity aud she took the nest Wltn
the little creatures in it to her room in MT.
Siebert's house. When the mother bird re
turned to the place where the nest had been
and found that her little ones were not there
she flew around IN great distress, and In ner
wildness she daried loto the open WiuooW
of Miss Gildea's room, and there she dlscoV-
cred her stolen treasures. During the re-
maioder of Miss Gildeas visit the window
Ia her room was left open, and each dag
mother oriole flew away to the woods and
returned with food, and finally she became
go gentle that she needed not the presence
of persons in the room, and they frequently
gathered there to watch the freaks of the
feathered tribe When Miss Gidea re-.
turned to her home at Gayspott she took
mother orioe and the birdlets with her, ard
shortly after her arrival there she released
the old bird and kept the little ones IN 8
cage in her house. The mother bird tarried
around the house for three or four weeks,
each dey flying into the kitchen where the
little ones were Gagged to feed them, and
then she disappeared and it was Deiieveo
would not return again. This proved oGh-
erwise, however. One day last week Miss
Giidea was walking in the garden, ard in
her favorite place on an apple tree just out.
side the kitchen window sat the same old
mother oriole who left so suddenly last No
vember for the sunny chimes of the far
South. a fine male bird of the same spe-
cies, and probably her liege lord, kept her
company. The old birds and their young
ones were put together in one lage cage, and
are now entirely domesticated.

Advice From a Kindly Expert.

When young lady asked Miss Louisa
Alcott for advice as to earning living by
literary work, she replied: 81 can only
reply to yours as to the other innumerable
letters of the same sort which / receive.
One must wait and work long and
patiently before success of any sort comes,
and talent must be in the tales or they
won't SELL If people won't take the
stories try something else. For a young
woman with good health and brave
heart many ways Of earning a living are
open if she can put her pride in her pocket
and take whatever comes, no matter how
humble the task may be. Nurse, teacher,
companion, housekeeper seamstress or
servant are all honest trades and worth
trying while waiting for the more agree
able work.
ST tried them, and after grabbing foT
twenty years made a hit, seemingly by
accident but could see how every hard
experience had helped, every sacrifice en-
riched, and SO believe heartily in that sort
of training for us all. do not know any
one in Washington, and think anything
better than the places women hold in
public offices there. If your stories are
good they viii find market; if they are
not, stop writing and try something else.
The gift is born with us and cannot be
learned, as some think New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
