DRIVING NATTvE BIRDS.

1t is admitted that they destroy or drive
off native songsters by their numbers, but
in equal contests the American bluebird
(Siatis Wilsonii) is "chanpicn lightweight of
the world"
They iniure or destroy almost all the
cultivated fora. They are granivorous,
and eat but few insects incidentally.
They do not, as at. s." contends, destroy
the web or tent caterpillar They do eat
the smooth measuring worm and army
worm; but the orggia, including the web
or tent-living caterpillars, to which ''T. s."
refers they never touch. The eunomos
or Spain worms were destroyed by English
sparrows possibly, though other birds do
the same as well but the hairy species
increased steadily, where the sparrows
were, because they drove off the robins,
the Baltimore oriole, the black cuckoo,
yeIlow-billed cuckoo, which eat the hairy
orggia.

THE CHIvALRoUS KNIGHTS.
They Were without Question the Worst
Pills in the BOX.

The chivalrous knights who came
over with the Conqueror, the mobiles
who fought at Neville's Cross, and
Crecy, and Agincourt, were, for the
most part, the merciless tyrants of
their serfs and dependents. Sordid
rapacity kept pace with reckless pro-
fusion, and in the arbitrary exercise of
their feudal rights they shrank from
no form of oppressive cruelty. Their
brutalities would have disgraced a
Jonathan Wild, and their crimes would
seem scandalous in the Newgate calen-
dar. To do them justice, they were as
hard on their equals as on their in
feriors, though, from a point of
perhaps egotistical punctillo, they
spared their equals the dishonor of
actual torture. The captive had
neither comfort nor mercy to expect
till he paid his ransom or was rescued
by his friends. What stories of slow
misery in the very shadow of death
might be told by the dungeons that may
still be seen beneath the foundations of
such castles as Warkworth or Kenil-
worth! There the well-nurtured knight.
like Damian de Lacy in 1.-The Be-
trothed," shackled and ironed, al
though there was no possibility of es-
cape, was doomed to solitary seclusion
on the coarsest and scantiest food,
Fettered in the damp and the darkness
among loathsome creeping things, he
drew breath with difficulty in the foul
est air; and it was fortunate for him
that, like the cold-blooded toads, which
were his fellow-prisoners, undeveloped
sensibilities saved him from insanity.
The only access to those loathsome
oubliettes was, as at Warkworth,
through the trap-door opening in the
roof What must have been the tone
of mind of the chivalrous lord of the
the banquet hall above stairs with such
horrors and such suffering beneath his
feet! But what between hard fighting,
free feasting. and deep drinking, the
mobiles of the middle ages seem to have
kept conscience at arms length, as
they had become absolutely Indifferent
to the sufferings of their fellow-crea-
lures. There were rare exceptions to
prove the rule. Some princes and
wealthy mobiles were piously inclined
and munifcent. They gave literally
in their life times and made magnifi-
cent ecclesiastical foundations. Black

A Table Made from Corpses.

In the Patti Palace at Florence is a
table which, for originality in the mat
ter of conception and construction. is
probably without rival. Itwa made
by Giuseppe Sagatti, who passed sew.
eral years of his life in its manufac.
ture. To the casual observer it gives
the impression of "a curious mosaic OF
marbles of different shades and colors,
for it looks like q polished stone. In real
ity it is composed of human muscles and
viscera. No less than one hundred hu.
man bodies were used in its scOnstruction.
The table is round and about yard in
diameter, with u pedestal and four
clawed feet, the whole being formed OF
petrifed human remains. The orna-
ments of the pedestal are made from
the intestines; the claws. from hearts.
livers and lungs, the natural colors OF
which are preserved. The table top is
constructed OF muscles artistlcally ar
ranged. and it is bordered with upward
of one hundred human eyes. the effect
of which is said to be startling. The
bodies were obtained from hospitals and
petrified with mineral salts.-St. Louis

Hints and Suggestions Concerning Popular
Dress Novelties.

Dress skirts are slightly longer in all
cases than they were last winter.
Golden brown and ticelle gray are
beautifully combined in tailor-made
carriage costumes of roya! armure and
ladies cloth of eXquisitely fine texture.
For dinners and five-o'clock teas,
black lace dresses combined with pale
yellow or orange moire in Spanish
fashion are very popular with young
ladies of the brunette order of beauty.
Dundee twills, English serges, fine
camels' hair fabrics, cashmeres plain,
bordered, checked and striped, and fine
wool armures with silk luster upon
their surfaces are all beautiful and
fashionable autumn materials, COM
mended both by French and English
tailors for stylish visiting, promenade
and travelling costumes.
The silk warp clairettes appear in
lovely tints of magnolia white, which
is lighter than cream, and much more
becoming than either flake or pearl
white. This exquisitely sheer fabric
combines well with either silk or lace.
and is especially desirable for dainty
but inexpensive wedding-dresses or
bridesmaids toilets.
The Princess Louise collar is just at
the moment Il fashionable finish to .he
bodices of dinner-gowns. The corsage
has triangular opening, with point
at the throat, and above this the broad
collar meets, which is made of velvet
and lace, the lace turned over its entire
width all around the neck. A jewelled
pin or delicate spray of flowers rests
on the left side of the collar.
New and luxurious French tea-gowns
are sent over made of black or deep
violet velvet, with embroidered borders
of fine gold leaves. One sumptuous
model of black Lyons velvet is lined
throughout with canary-yellow satin
and trimmed with bands of black
marabout feathers hecked with gold.
Another robe of violet velvet is lined
with pale rosy lilac silk, and trimmed
with bands of dark violet velvet
heavily overlaid with gold, heliotrope,
seagreen and opal beading.-N. Y, Post

ON ANOTHER ERRAND.
A Ludicrous Incident of q Vermont
Pastors Early Life.

|
Pastors Early Life.
A Vermont Baptist minister who is
not too grave and dignifed to enjoy a
good Joke, even when il is on himself,
narrates ludicrous incident of his
early life. Soon after being settled
over new congregation, he one day
received note asking him to be at
home that evening at eight o'clock.
The writer added that he was intend
ing to be married at that hour. and
would call at the parsonage with his
bride.
1t was but few minutes before
eight o'clock when the door-bell rang,
and a moment later the servant an
nounced th t u young couple awaited
the minister in the parlor.
Going down into the parlor, accom-
panied by his wife, the pastor found a
neatly dressed, intelligent appearing
young man and bright-looking young
woman, who rose to receive him.
al am Mr.. Homer" said the young
man, "and this is Miss Cross"
Having another engagement for the
evening, the minister said Immediate
ly: "I received your note this morning,
and we will proceed with the ceremony
at once. Please join your right hands" :"
In great bewilderment, which the
minister mistook for natural embar-
rassment, the young couple timidly
clasped hands, and the ceremony was
about to begin when the young man
said:
live what ceremony is it?"
"Why, the ceremony of marriage, Of
course"
"O-o-o.hH' shrieked the young lady,
withdrawing her hand, and covering
her face with a handkerchief.
81 don't understand this at all, !" said
the young man, sharply. 1--WE came
here simply as a committee from the
Young Peoples Society of the Metho-
dist church to ask you and your wife
to be present at public entertainment
we are about to give, and"
1t was now the minister's turn to say
"O-o.o-h!' and he said it in genuine
astonishment at the very moment that
the maid ushered in the young couple
who had matrimonial intentions"
The mistake evidently started the
first young couple into new lines of
thought, for, a year later, their own
pastor being ill, they called upon the
Baptist pastor, and did not protest that
he was going too far when he asked
them to join hands. Youths Compan-

CASH For OATS. SKINS.
How Poor Pussy Assumes the Role OF
Fur BearlnE Animal,

How Poor Pussy Assumes the Role OF
Fur Hearing Animal.
"Cash paid for cats SKINS" the sign
read in the window of n Washington
furrier, who astonished the newspaper
man by telling him that there was al
ways a good market for pussies' pelts.
"Five cents apiece" he said, sis what
we pay for common skins, ten cents
for maltese pure, and twenty-five cents
for black. OF course they must be in
good condition. Some male cats are so
given to back-fence warfare that their
hides become considerably damaged.
The fur of the sleek and wcll-fed do
mestic pussy is what we find most
available for our purposes. Street
cats are usually too ragged and COARSE
haired to be useful"
And what are the purposes of which
you speak?"
"The imitation of more expensive
furs, chiefly. The French dye them
very skillfully, and in that way trans
form the humble tabby after death into
the regal ermine or other beast of rare
and costly skin. The pure black and
maltese and the tortoise shell are not
dyed, but made to serve in the natural
colors. Rugs of selected tortoise-shell
and maltese are already becoming quite
fashionable, and the best ones are far
from cheap. The only use made of
manufacture of carriage robes. but
vast numbers of them are sent from
the United States to Europe, where
they are made into coats, hats. rugs,
dressing gown Innings and other gar
ments.
"Taxidermists, too. in other parts of
the country are advertising for kittens
by the thousand for stuffing. In the
process they employ the skin is first
removed, leaving,only the scraped top of
the skull within it. Both head and body
are then built up with pipe clay and
tow, piece of wire being so adjusted
that one end comes out through the
forehead and the other at the tip of the
tail. To this four other wires running
down the legs are fixed. The skin is
then sewn up and the animal formed
into a desired position. The final
operation is putting in the eyes. Fast
ened upon scrap Of red flannel in this
manner, small black kitten makes a
very pretty pen-wiper."
"But where do all the skins come
fromp"
MANY are brought in the city es-
Establishments that advertise for them
by small boys who are glad to earn
pocket money by the comparatively
easy method of assassinating a few un-
fortunate cats; but the main supply is
contributed by professional fur coils
lectors in different parts of the coun-
try, who shoot them. The ravine
woods of New England are full of them
running wild. They breed wonderfully
fast under such seemingly adverse con-
ditions and can be popped off the fences
and walls with ease by an expert
marksman. This is an idle season just
now, and we nre advertising for them
as carriage-roho material to make up
for the fall trade. A frst-rate lap-robe
of catskin is worth forty or fifty dol
lars. Yes, indeed, pussy is beginning
to be recognized as fur-bearing ami
NAL, and instead of drowning the kit
tens, people will before long be propa-
eating them for their pelts. Wash
