LasceIles does not appear az sr.sa9;ss.5s, a;sso
and Dolly, though her soul quakes within
her, laughs and talks to Dick
Later in the morning, when they were
playing lawn tennis, Clement Lascelles,
feeling much smaller than he has ever
done in his life, seeks counsel from Mrs.
Dalton. With an angelic smile she alter
nately pricks him with daggers and makes
him gulp down bowls of poison; but she
does him an excellent turn by taking a
good deal of the nonsense out of him. He
confesses that he adores Dolly. How, oh,
how, is he to win her? Has he the ghost
of a chance?
Mrs. Dalton, looking solemn, declares
her inability to reply to this. She hints at
Dolly's youth and love of amusement.
She hints, too, at Dicks unfagging good
spirits and temper. And the upshot of it
is that when Dick returns crestfallen
from his afternoon ride with Dolly, hav-
ing spoken and received his answer,
Clement Lascelles carries off the young
lady to her boudoir on pretense of want
ing to be shown something, and, replac-
ing the melancholy of Hamlet by the
conquering air of young Lovelace, takes
her in his arms, swears he has been a
fool, and has never really loved any one
but her sweet self and that if she accept
him her life shall be one round of pleas
ure.
Twenty minutes later, Dolly has passed
on all his embraces and more to Marian.
How clever you are, darling" she
says, admiringly.
To which Mrs. Dalton replies, Nov
you know how to manage him, make goot
use Of your knowledge. The LOndor

Riding ON the Backs Of Birds.

A German author Adolf Ebeling, writ
ing in The Gartenlaube, asserts that he
found it currently believed at Cairo that
wagtails and other small birds cross from
Europe to Nubia and Abyssinia on the
backs of storks and cranes, and details
the result of conversations which he had
with several witnesses, all testifying the
same thing. He then proceeds: ''At sup
per, in the Hotel du Nile, related the
curious story to all present, but, natur-
ally enough, found only unbelieving ears.
The only one who did not laugh was the
Privy Councillor Won Heuglin, the famous
African traveller, and excepting Brehm,
the most celebrated authority of our time
on the birds of Africa" On asking his
opinion he remarked: LET others laugh;
they know nothing about it. do not
laugh, for the thing is well known to me.
| should have made mention of it in my
works if had had any personal proof to
Justify it. l consider the case probable,
though l cannot give any warrant for it. "
my discovery, if may so call it, ," con-
tinued Herr Ebeling, Il would have kept
| to myself, even after Heuglin had thus
expressed himself, had not since discov-
cred q new authority for it. In the Sec
| ond edition of DR.. Petermann's great
| DOOK OF travels Inu Ine 1O1OWluB' FrO-
fessor Roth, of Munich, related to me in
Jerusalem that the well known Swedish
traveller, Hedenborg, made an interesting
observation on the island of Rhodes, where
he was staying. In the autumn, when
the storl1s came in focks over the sea tc
Rhodes, he often heard the notes Of small
birds without being able to see them; but
on one occasion he observed a party OF
storks just as they alighted, and saw sew
eral small birds come off their backs, hav
ing thus been evidently transported by
them across the sea. st. Louis Repub

The Baltimore & Ohio to Become
More Aggressive.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany has decided to enlarge its Phila-
delphia interests, and has assigned
Third Vice-president c. X. Lord to
take entire charge of the affairs of the
Philadelphia branch and its cOnnec-
tions. 1t is proposed to greatly i'm
prove the shipping facilities of the road,
and the terminals in this city will be
extended so as to serve nearly every
section. The New York traffic. both
passenger and freight, will be arranged
to be received, and the road will en-
deavOr to compete with the Pennsyl-
vania at all points for southern and
western freight and passenger business.
Mr.. Lords supervision will date from
Monday, and his Office will be located
at the depot, Twenty and Chest
nut streets. His presence and author
ity in city will greatly simplify the
local affairs of the company, for, be-
sides debating the policy of the COM
pany, all matters requiring executive
commendation or judgment will be
placed before him, instead of being sent
to the general Office at Baltimore, as is
now the custom.

Lightning struck the farm house of
Ole Olestad, ten miles north of Hunter,
Dakota, Friday night, killing Olestad
and his wife. Some neighbOrs passing
the house Saturday noticed the forsak-
en- appearance of the dwelling, and
forcing an entrance found the terribly
mutilated bodies lying on the floor.
The only child, an eight-mOnths-Old
baby, was on the bed uninjured. The
building had caught fire from the light
ming, but the heavy rain extinguished
it. Olestad had sent for his father and
mother only few weeks previous, and
they arrived from Norway in time to
participate in the funeral.

Japan's Feast of Dolls.

A peculiarity Of Japanese stores is that
only such goods are displayed as are
appropriate to the season of approaching
festival. Instead of displaying a general
stock of goods. as do all dealers in America
throughout the year, as soon as the festi-
val season is over they are Immediately
packed up and carefully laid away for
another year. For two weeks a great
number of stores and street peddlers have
been exhibiting a great display of all
kinds and sizes of dolls, together with
everything thereunto belonging in minia-
ture. The reason for all this is that on
the third day of the third month is held
the "Hina Matsuri, or, as it is generally
called the Feast of Dolls" 1t is de-
voted to the girls, and is considered by
them the greatest day Of the season, and
in years gone by was duly celebrated by
all families with as great pomp, cere-
mony and preparation as we look forward
to the 4th of July. Of late years those
| that are called " progressive" Japanese
seem to have ignored the custom to a
| great extent.
| Most of the dolls on view were from
| three inches to eighteen inches in height,
and dressed to represent some noted dai-
| miO, shOgum or some prominent person
/ age of the feudal times. Many still keep
up the custom, and many of the old
families possess a stock of heirlooms in
the way of dolls that date back many
years. Formerly it was the custom that
when a daughter had been born in the
house during the previous year, pair Of
images are bought for her, which she
plays with until she is grown. When
she marries she takes them with her tc
her new homo and gives them to heI
children, and each year she adds to the
stock as her family increases, so in some
families a great number are collected
They are made Of wood, clay, porcelain
and some are most exquisitely dressed. II
all the stores are found complete sets ot
everything belonging to the house, eithel
for cooking, eating, sleeping or travelling
On the festival day all these are brought
out and arranged upon an elevated plat
form, and offerings of sal1i, rice, candies
and fruits are made to each, and all phases
of female life are most faithfully mimickeC
by these female juveniles.-San Francisc'

LITTLE BOY BLUES

i
The little toy dog is covered with dust, 9k6
But sturdy and stanCh he standsj 81
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket molds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair,
And there was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
i'Now don't you go till come" he said
"And don't you make any noise"
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamed of the pretty toys
And as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand
The smile of a little face;
And they wonder, as waiting these long years
through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there.

it would be in better taste to speak
less about Pickett's men, and refer to

At the height of his troubles, when

"roothache" said he, "poor thing,
am so sorry. I'll let you off rehearsal;
go and have the tooth out.

Cant; why not?" said he.

her to st. Martins Lane. where you
will get rid OF it for shilling"
"But I h emit got shilling?" Mr..

once; neither have l. But come into
