Refused the Present.

The late DR.. Trousseau. celebrated
Partisan physician, had the reputation
of being exceedingly sharp after his
fees, though he always declined to take
anything in the nature of a present
from his clie1uele-perhaps because he
thought the acceptance of such gifts
might render it more difficult for him
to exact his honorarium. Once DIR.
Trousseau had been fortunate enough
to cure the only child of one of the few
rich members of the French aristocra-
CIV. When the child had become con-
valescent and the doctor was paying his
last visit, with renewed thankful ex-
pressions and numerous appeals to
heaven, the mother pressed small
silken purse into Trousseau's hands.
"Thank you, madame" he replied,
shut, pardon me, never accept pres
ents," and he firmly rejected her offer,
probably regarding both the purse and
the appeals as things of equally prob
lematical value. my fee, madame, :"
he quietly added, "is 500 francs" OPP
ening the purse, Nine. la Comtesse
took out the sum named, and, present
ing it to DIR. Trousseau, remarked: II
am sorry you do not take presents, the
purse contained 1000 francs.

Birds are often said to possess in
stinct, as distinguished from intelli-
gence, by which is meant, apparently,
that such knowledge as they have is
inherited, not acquired. "A bird al
ways builds its nest in one way" it is
said, but few statements could be less
exact. Our common cliff swallow,
known also AZ the caves swallow and
the Republican" formerly built
against the face of cliff, and as pro-
lection against the weather, the nest,
instead of being open at the top, was
bottle shaped, the entrance being
through q kind of neck at the side.
Now that the country has become pop
ulous, however, this swallow has taken
TO nesting under the caves of barns,
where il is shielded from rain by the
overhanging roofs.
Little by little, therefore, the wise
bird has given up its more elaborate
may see, side by side, nests that are
simple mud saucers, nests that are
built in the old fashioned bottle meth
cd, and nests half way between the two
extremes, showing plainly that pro-
cess of adaptation is going on.
A Pennsylvania newspaper lately re-
ported a very clever piece of work by
a pair of these same caves swallows.
They had built nest in the old style
under the caves of barn, and when it
was done an English sparrow took pos
session. The swallows made frantic
efforts to dislodge the intruder, but
could not drive her out. Then they
went deliberately to work and plas-
tered up the neck of the bottle with
mud, burying the sparrow alive, after
which they built another nest close by,
and occupied it as if nothing had hap
pened. -ETchange.

Three Kinds OF POps.

There are three varieties of popping
the question now in vogue-the pop
hesitate, the pop deliberate, and the
pop precipitate. New York inclines to
the hesitating pop. Philadelphia has
long favored the deliberate pop, so
much so that courtship has been known
to extend almost from the cradle to the
grave before the preacher got job.
Years are sometimes consumed in
studying out each others pedigree.
But in the wild, hoyden West it is very
different. There the pop precipitate
reigns, and it is no uncommon thing
for a woman to get an offer on sight

eide. Westward the hope of spinsters
takes its way.-Phitddelphiu Times.

One of Napoleon's veterans, who sur

to recount, with great glee, how he had

carelessly, THANK you, Captain. I'm

the ready-witted soldier: Napoleon,
