INSTINCT AT FAULT.
Plants and Birds Mistaking Mildness
 for Spring..

With scores of spring flowers in bloom, roses in bud, and, in the southern countries, even strawberries in fruit, bird without any other criterion than the warmth of the weather and what it has been taught by transmitted experience to regard as such, might easily be lead if not wiser than it's species, to mate and nest, lay it's eggs, and hatch it's young altogether out of season, says the London Standard. The individuals that do so must, however, possess some idiosyncracy peculiar to themselves. They are either more stupid than the rest of their warier species, or their passions for matern- ity must be greater. This ignorance, this lack of accumulated wisdom, is seen in many other birds besides those we mention. h. deed, scarcely winter passes without some of our feathered friends mistaking 8 spell of mild weather for spring, and setting to work under the impression that the appointed period for building their domiclles hes arrived.
 The rock, for example, is one of the most knowing of birds. Its depth of ornithc wis dom would be unfathomable, if only it were
 as prudent as it looks. To 8 day, rarely be-
 fore and seldom after the second week of
 March, the work of repairing, building and
 IurnlSnlnS the nest DeglnS Tn earnest, ana
 is carried on amid an uproar, and an amount
 of knavery, sharp practice and all-abounding
 cunning which is painfully human. It al most shakes one's confidence in corvine shrewdness that so solemn a bird should fall few weeks, far more few months, out in it's reckoning. But such is, nevertheless, the case. Again and again cases have been re- corded in which rocks have built and laid their eggs as early as the middle and end of November, and at almost any date until their usual period approaches. Yet, though this premature maternity is decidedly blunder on the part of the rock, it's near relation, the raven, is almost as early in it's arrangements, for one year with another it begins to repair it's nests in the middle of January, and sometimes @ couple of weeks later, and al- most always before month elapses has laid it's eggs. Late nesting is not so common, for when bird breeds in November, this ought
 properly to be called early procreation. Still,
 it is not infrequent, and when it does occur,
 is attended with consequences quite as dis
 astrous to the helpless offspring.

COFFEE MAKING.
A Right Way Which is Rather Conn.,
 plicated but Sure.

From the Baltimore Telegram.1
 "To make good coffee," writes an expert on the subject, "we must have the proper or pure article. What is called Mocha coffee, that is the best kind in this country, has only an imaginary relation with pure Mocha and is the sifted residue of Yemen and oth- CT Arabian districts. Compared with the prices of coffee in Turkey or Arabia, pound of pure and unmixed Mocha must at least be sold from $1.20 to $1. 50.
 "Coffee making is more complicated af- fair than tea and could not be easily con- veyed in 8 receipe. The coffee must have 8 brownish color, which is gained by the pro- per process of roasting. A roasting kettle must be kitchen utensil in every family, as it is in Turkey. The fire must be moderate, so that it might be roasted very slowly, and must be taken away when it assumes an am- Der brown color, and immediately spread on table or cloth. Coffee must be roasted day by day, or at least once in two days. If, af- ter roasting, it is kept long, the flavor will most certainly dissipate. Therefore, when yet slightly warm, it must be reduced to im- palpable powder, not by grinding, but by poWdering in 8 mortar-a stone mortar al- ways preferred-the powder must be kept air tight in jar, not in paper bags.
 III maRlng coHee we must ootaln two things strength and flavor. It is evident that to obtain the first 1t must be boiled, but by hard and long boiling the flavor is lost; this difficulty must be surmounted then by double process, one thorough cooking and one slight; by the first 6 strong infusion is obtained, and by the second the same infu- sion is favored. Take little tin or coffee pan, according to the number of cups you want to make. Put in this pan good sized teaspoonful of the pounded coffee for each cup, and place it over slow fire without water. Let it fume moment; pour on this, without taking away from the fire, boiling water; in few moments the froth rises, take it from the fire instantly, turn into the cup and drink

Very Rich Empress Frederick.

The sum Of money that Empress Freder- ick will get under the will of the Duchess of Gallicia is said to amount to five million francs, and is left to her absolutely. She will be very rich when all her money is in- vested and her affairs settled, and she has been wisely advised in the arrangements by the Queens lawyers. The arrangements made for her by the Empress Frederick, apart from her annuity of forty thousand pounds as queen dowager of Prussia, was very generous, and the present emperor was most anxious that as regards money matters his mother should have everything done that was possible. When the late emperor was about to make his will he sent for the crown prince and Prince Bismarck to inform them of what he intended to do, so that after his decesse there should be no unpleasantness; and I am informed that the present emperor expressed his complete satisfaction with his fathers arrangements.

PEN SION S.

l PENSIONS.
 Tie annual pension appropriation bill, which has just been agreed to in congress, calls for about $s4 ,000,0OO And it is not certain that this sum will cover the coming years needs. For the current fiscal year the sum of $79, ,173, 1000 was appropriated and few weeks ago $S,O00, ,000 was found necessa- " for getting through the regular expendi- ture until June 30, which maket about $S7,- 900, 900 in all. The last report of Commis-
 sioner Black showed that the amount paid
 from the year 1861 up to July 1, 1888, was
 $9e3, ,OS6, ,444. Since the greater part of the cur
 rent appropriation has since been expended,
 it follows that st this time fully $1 1000, ,000,-
 sum will have reached $1,050, 100000 by
 July 1.
 These are large figures They show that
 this country is 8 very generous one and that
 those who fought for it are we'll remembered. But it is possible to overdo the pension busi-
 ness, and many think that it is already over- done. Among these are not few of the old soldiers. One of them, General Jacob D. Cox, made the other day an earnest protest,
  pose that with pension agents as auetioneers and politicians for bidders the last copper has been offered and taken for the services which when we gave them we thought were patriotic. What is lefts The merit? No, it has been paid for. The glory? No, except as it would belong to the nerest mercenary who might come across the seas to sell his sword indifferently 10 either party. In the mad auction of politics the whole will have been sold literally to the highest bidder, and the measure beyond price which we hoped to transmit to our children will have turned to dross. When I think of this ! long for some trusted leader to plant the colors at the front, that we may rally on them in the crisis of great battle. I long for voice, potent as Sheridan's on the road to Winchester, crying like his: "Face the other way, boys!" Face the other way; that way lies dishonor. These are strong words and it is a good time to have them said. They will be we'll received by many of those for whom they were especially spoken.

His Conduct Deemed 1rreproachable-
 A Hotel Keepers Opinion.
 A Vienna hotel keeper hae been taking up the cudgels iu favor of John Bull the travel Ter, who, he thinks, 'fhas been slandered by foreigners for generations past" 'The ig- norant, "he says, are projudiced against him simply because they fail to understand his superiority, and are often found to be jealous of the undeGnable.reserve which distinguishes him wherever he goes. Now, we hotel keepers whose establishments John Bull does us the honor to patronize have also right to pass our opinion on him and hia character, the more so, seeing that we are brought into clos CT contact with him than is the ordinary public. I am speaking in the voice of my colleagues when say that our personal know ledge of Albion's sons and Albion's daught- CTS, too, gives the lie to current exaggera- tions. We pride ourselves in having English men in our hotels, and the reasons why are obvious, John Bull is more easily satisfied | than the average continental as soon ss he discovers the hotel he is lodged in to be 8 comfortable establishment. He conforms with the best of graces to the rules of the | house, keeps his own apartment a picture of l tidiness, and in expressing an order he is al- i ways polite and considerate. He always kno ws his own mind, and by this means be- l comes at once master or the SlLuatlOn. As | to ordering his meals he is always precise and punctual, and, being more domesticated l than the travellers of other nations, he enjoys 1 making himself at home in his hotel, and, as ! rule, does not go in search of refreshments out of doors. I have never known him to light a cigar in the presence of ladies without their full permission, and he never blows the
 smoke of his cigar into the face of his far iI | yis-a-vis He is punctual to the minute 1n
 taking his meals, and wastes neither his own nor the attendants time. He sees the sights of the town in far shorter time than do el.n-
 er the Austrians ar Germans, as, unlike tnem, he has no desire to visit half the beer houses
 in the place. Then he is an a ornament amar .o ev
 end in the very handling of his knife and
 fork, he is no eye-sore to the most fastidious-
 consider it pleasure to watch every Eng
 1ishman or Englishwoman eating of his o, her dinner, for in the art of eating and drink ing. too, they excel over all other nations
 The very children in charge of the governesf
 know how to behave themselves at table
 having from earliest childhood been trained
 in this most pleasing of social accomplish
 ments."
