There is a subject to which 1 would
call attention, says a correspondent of
the New York Times, namely, the mania
for making collections of birds eggs. 1t
has become great evil in this section
and unless checked soon will, 1 think,
prove worse than the English sparrows or
anything else. Different writers have en-
couraged children to make collections of
eggs and have dwelt on their beauty, and
the result is that swarms of boys are
securing all the country in the vicinity of
towns for eggs. Every egg is taken and
hardly nest escapes destruction. A year
ago l determined to put stop to it if
possible l found that the law forbids
the robbing of all nests other than those
of crows, blackbirds, hawks, and owls,
making it a misdemeanor and also provid-
ing penalty of S5 for each oirense. This,
added to the fine Of Imprisonment or
both for the misdemeanOr, makes rather
serious business of egg collecting. And
found several persons who agreed to
help me, had the law published in the
local papers and also read in Sunday
school, along with warning that all
found guilty would be punished. It
worked well. Only few were found to
continue collecting, and second personal
notice to them was all that was necessary.

4 FORTUNE in a Beggar,s shanty.

Felice Niart, aged seventy-two, a pro-
fessional beggai, died in New Orleans a few
days ago Of debility and neglect in an old
shanty She had lived there over twenty
years in abject poverty, supporting her
self by begging, which she followed as a
regular profession. The coroner discov-
cred hidden around her shanty S8S, 900,
Of which S250O was in gold, secreted in
an old flower pot in the yard and $50, 900

MORNING IN THE COUNTRY.

Shrill crows the cock, a misty light creeps in
At windows looking on the eastern sky,
The cattle low, and pigs and cows begin
To raise their voices in discordant cry,
When Farmer John, with many a lusty
yawn,
Deserts his bed and stalks into the dawn.
With ears APPOINT, subdued but joyous neigh
Comes faithful Dick his outstretched hand
to ''nose,"
While Beauty, springing from her couch Of
hay
Sweeps circling round, loud baying as she
goes;
A hundred voices answer to his call,
The robins treble winding through it ALL
With liberal hand he takes from stack and
store,
And smiling feeds his trooping focks and
herds,
Each known by name; the weak he fingers
With soothing touch and kindly, cheering
words.
From him they learn obedience and trust,
They teach him that the gentle are the just
Compared to his what pleasure may they
know
Who in dull round of cent-per-cent en-
gage?
About his feet the fragrant blossoms blow
E'en while the thunders DER the hill-tops
rage.
Here thiclS-leaved naples grateful shades ex-
tend,
There cowslip blossoms DER the brooklet
bend.
The sloping uplands clothed in emerald
sheen.
The solemn woods, the fields of velvet corn,
The clover meadows stretching gay between,
The lark in carol TO the dewy morn,
These these are yours, with all their cluster
ing charms,
Great hearted tillers of our country's
farms.
And here among these rich, sequestered
scenes
An independent, peaceful path you tread;
No tainting substance e'er your sky terrenes,
Nor marshaled chimneys turn your airs to
lead,
Above you bend the blue unsullied dome,
The sun unveiled looks smiling on your
home.

ORNAMENTAL FRosT1Ne ON CAKE.

To do ornamental frosting, such as
confectioners put on cakes, one needs a
frosting bag and tubes or frosting points.
The bag is of very thin rubber sheeting
and shaped like a cone or funnel. At
the end of the funnel is a small hole.
The tube or point is put inside the bag
and pressed firmly into and through this
little aperture. Then the bag is partly
filed with frosting, which is squeezed
through the point on to the cake. Some
points are simply round tubes, Others
have got teeth that cause the frosting to
assume the form of leaves, crinkled lines
and other devices. A supply Of points
of various shapes can be procured at any
housefurnishing store, and one can make
three of the rubber bags out of quarter
of yard of sheeting After the neces-
sary practice one can ice cakes very nice

Oklahoma contains less than 1900, 900

APPETIz1NG FISH PIE.

Fish pie made as follows we think
very appetizing: Gut any solid fish in
neat pieces, clearing it of bone and skin;
mix finely shredded parsley, powdered
marjoram, salt and pepper and strew this
seasoning over the fish; dip the pieces of
fish in warmed butter and put them in a
pie dish, leaving room for liquid to flow
between; beat well four or five eggs and
mix them with half pint to a pint of
cream or good milk. Put halved oysters
or sardines between the pieces of fish (;
pour the cream over, cover with light
paste, brush it over with egg and bake.

ALVIN p. HovEY is the greatest failure
&c IN executive in the history of Indiana.
1t is the duty OF the governor of In
diana to see that the laws are enforced; to
look after the management OF the various
departments of the state government and
the several public institutions; to grant
pardons. reprieves and combinations OF
sentences in his discretion; to make re-
ports and recommendations to the legis-
lature; to pass upon the acts of that body;
20 issue notarial commissions and 'sich; ;"
and 10 draw his salary. He is also com
mander-in-chief of the military and
naval forces Of the state.
1t is not the duty of a governor to AFRO
gate to himself the functions and powers
of the coordinate branches OF the govern
ment; 10 assume not only the execution,
but the making and construction of laws;
70 set himself up in opposition to the law
making body, and attempt, by direct or
indirect methods, to nullify its action to
seek, by quibbling and pettifogging and
the raising of absurd technicalitIes, to de-

fanciful theories of constitutional con-
struction and force their application, with
the blind disregard of consequences that
characterizes the traditional bull in the

In short, the governor of Indiana is not

More Reform.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: observe by this
paper that our civil service reform { p admin
istration has appointed one Alexander r. Nor
Tison q special agent of the interior depart
ment for New Mexico. Mr.. Morrison has seen
public service before. He was marshal for
New Mexico during the Arthur administration,
being removed by Cleveland in Nay, 1885. On
settlement of his accounts with the treasury
department, Mr.. Morrison was found to be
near twelve thousand dollars short. A suit is
now pending in New Mexico against Mr.. Nor
rison and his bondsmen to recover this short
age. 1t may be supposed that his new APP
pOintment is a slight testimonial for his former
faithful services TO the government Ii Is GER
tainly somewhat new and novel way TO treat
defaulters. l suppose Brother Benjamin is
following the scrptural injunction OF punish
ing evil doors by heaping Goals OF fire their
heads. Perhaps the idea is 70 give Morrison
a chance to get money out Of the public treas
ury to pay what be owes the government.
Whatever the idea may be, il looks very strange
to honest people TO see faithless officials who
have heretofore robbed the government given
opportunities 10 repeat the operation. b.

a Chrjst-Iike Priest.

SOCRATES died like philosopher; CHRIST
died like God.-R0SseGW.
The world lost one of its grandest heroes
the other day. A three-line dispatch to
the newspapers announced his death
less space than would have been given to
an obscure congressman. Yet Father
DAMIEN, "the leper priest, was one of
natures noblemen," and died martyr TO
the hottest and most self-sacrifcing service
to mankind that could be rendered by a
human being.
We told the story of this mans life in
these columns a few weeks ago. how, in
the full possession of his mental fac
ulties and physical strength, he de-
liberately turned his back upon the
world, upon friends and kindred and
all that makes life dear to most of US,
and cast his lot with the wretched
lepers who are isolated on a lonely
island in the Pacific ocean, outcasts
from the human family, that he
might minister to their spiritual wants.
For eighteen years Father DAMIEN
has gone in and out among these
miserable people, sharing their burdens,
bearing their sorrows, bringing light and
hope into their cherries lives and point
ing their stricken souls the way to heaven.
The reverence of these lepers for this sub
lime man must have been something
beyond conception, and their grief at his
loss, we doubt not, is inconsolable.
Father DAMIEN died, of course. of
leprosy; for association with lepers means
contamination, and contamination means
death-slow perhaps, but certain death.
But he chose his fate, and he met it with
dauntless fortitude, with serene cheerful
ness, and with full faith that it was but
the prelude to glorious Immortality.
Many noble men and women have been
canonized by the Roman church, but none
nobler, none worthier to be named a saint
than the humble priest, Father DAMIEN
he who voluntarily suffered all that the
mind can conceive as the most horrible,
of life and DEATH possible to human ex-
perience- not that others might ive-but
that they might not die in despair-that
those whom he had never seen, who had
no other claim upon him than that grow
ing out of the universal brotherhood OF
man-might have the consultations of re-
ligion as they passed into the valley of
the shadow.
The memory of this Christ-like priest
should be hOnored by the world through
all the centuries that are to come.
