fourth year, when the ordinary Presi-

sensation. ringing noises In the ears, etc,-beinR
not only troublesome to the sufferer, but offensive
to Others Cdta1rh Is also dangerous because it may

II he had not much pretension to exact
knowledge, his reading was wider than

he had not merely a large acquaintance
with authors of many nations, he had
thought on what he read. His mind, too,

foreign travel. Few men of his age,

1.-THE mortality among the domestic
animals up in our block increased great
ly last week" said a South side young
mar yesterday. "One of our neighbors
owns a pretty canary bird, and his little
son has always been anxious to ascertain
the source OF the birds twitter. So the
other evening, while his father VAS away
at the office and his mother was down
town on a shopping expedition, the
youngster reached the cage, captured
the bird and picked off all of its pretty
yellow feathers. But he did not discover
the source of the twitter, and the bird
caught q severe cold through its loss of
drapery and died with pneumonia the
next morning. The little boy was locked
in an upper room when his experiment
was discovered by his parents, and now
he firmly believes that two in the bush

The doll is thousands of years old; it
has been found inside the graves OF little
Roman children, and will be found again
by the archeologists of a future date
among the remains of our own culture.
The children of Pompeii and Hercu-
laneum trundled hoops just as you and
l did; and who knows whether h rock
ing horse on which we rode in our young
DAYS is not a lineal descendant of that
proud charger into whose wooden TANKS
the children Of Francis rs time dug their
spurs.
The drum is also indestructible, and
setting time at naught across the centu-
ries, 1t beats the Christmastide and New
Year summons that bids the tin soldier
prepare himself for war, and h con-
tinue to beat as long as there exist boy
arms t WELD the drumsticks, and
grown up peoples ears to be deafened
by the sound thereof. The tin soldier
views the future with calm; he will not
lay down his arms until the day OF gen.
eral disarmament, and there Is, as yet,
no prospect of a universal peace.
The toy sword also stands its ground;
it is the nursery symbol Of the inerad-
icable vice OF our race-the lust for bat
tie. Harlequins, fool's-cap-crowned and
b~ell-ringing, are also likely to endure;
they are sure to be found among the
members of the toy world as long as
there are fools to be found among the
inhabitants Of our own. Gold laced
knights, their swords at their sides, curly
locked and satin shod princesses, stall.
wart musketeers, mustached and TOP
booted, are all types which still hold

yet, but she has a brilliant future before

A Queer Coincidence.

In Berks county, Pa, at the little vii
lage of S~hillington, lives Samuel Shil-
ling, n living fulflment of a remark
able coincidence. He first saw the light
of day on Feb. 90, 1878. Beginning with
the date of his birth, it seems that the
father OF his country has kept a watch
full eye on Samuel Shilling every day
for the past seventy years.
Shilling was married on Feb. % to a
woman, who, like himself, was born on
that date. Their first child-a boy-was
born on Washington's birthday, exactly
one year to a day after their marriage,
and two years afterwards, on the same
date, twins-a boy and girl-were added
to the Washington-blessed household.
Five years rolled around, when, on the
fifth anniversary OF their wedding, an
other infant. a little girl, was added to
their blessings. The fifth and sixth child,
another pair of twins, came around on
schedule time two years later, exactly,
md upon the seventh anniversary of the
welded life begun on the natal day OF
u first president.
Mr.. Shilling Is very proud of the lucky
coincidence that has connected his name
and that of his family 80 inseparably
with that of the immortal George Wash
ington.
Many remarkable stories, all true, a
far as the writer has been able to ascer
tain, have been related, but it is doubtful
IL there Is another use on record wher'
a father, his wife and six children al
claim one birthday, and that, too, one o
the most historical in the whole calen

Made the Bride Happy.
spondence San E'ancisco Post.

Correspondence San Fanciseo Post.
Boston hospitality has . peculiar
method of its own. Visiting strang-
ers have discovered that at entertain
ments here it is not customary to
make introductions. OF course, the
business of introducing people may
be carried to excess, but then there
10 an opposite extreme.
For instance, young and pretty
bride from New Orleans was invited
to dinner party on Commonwealth
avenue the other night, the under
standing being that the festive event
was in her especial honor. Never
theless, upon arriving with her hus-
band, she was surprised to find her
self showed with him, of into cor
ner, without being presented to any
one, and permitted to remain--after
brief word with the hostess--un-
noticed and alone. When the butler
did finally announce that the repast
was ready the host offered her his
arm but at the table no attention
was paid to her, save by an old dow
ager at the farther end Of the board,
who seemed to be astonishing deaf.
my DEAR shouted the old lady,
as the soup succeeded the oysters,
"pray tell me how long you have
been married."
"Only very few days." replied
the guest OF honor, also loudly, so
that she might be heard.
Evidently, however, the old lady
did not hear for, when the fish was
being brought on, she cried out
again:
my dear, have you been married
long I"
"Not yet week, madam" re-
sponded the bride, louder still this
time.
"Oh!" said the dowager, as IL re-
lieved, thereupon relapssd into ST.
leHce. But the removal of the roast
woke her up again.
"My DEAR" she remarked, ~ did
not understand how lsng you said
you had been married.
Exactly five dayl" screamed the
young matron, flushing half with en-
barrassment, half with anger.
"Ah, yes, "rejoined the old woman,
having apparently heard this time.
"And, my dear, how many children
did you say you had so far 7"
The above is literal fact.
