A statement was made In Wheeling
paper which arrived here this evening TO
the effect that Judge Ferguson had in
course Of preparation bill by which
the State was 10 be re-diStricted so as 10
make the Third and Fourth Congression-
al districts Democratic by from three to
four thousand each, and at
the same time so cut up the First dis

thousand or more. When the matter

ridiculed. Judge Ferguson was tele-

all knowledge of such scheme, adding
that the whole statement was without
the slightest foundation. Judge Fergu-

secure census returns with view to
preparing bill for the purpose of re-
distrcting the State for representation
in the Legislature, but failing to secure
proper data he had given the matter no
consideration whatever.

A Brown Paper Parcel.

Elevated train guards not infrequent-

money are rare Some them have

over an incident that occurred one
morning as number of them were en-

street to go on duty. AS usual, they
We're seated in a group in the Ilst car,

Der spied brown paper parcel on an
adjoining seat 1t was greasy, and
looked about as ordinary as such a
parcel can look.
"Hellol'' cried this penetrating
guard, there's some Eyetalian's
lunch" and with that he hurled the
brown paper mass at the head of the
man opposite him. In like manner
the parcel was passed back again, and
the fun was kept up until the end of
the trip, when it was suggested that it
be presented to the starter with the
mems compliments. The starter took
the matter seriously, opened the par
eel carefully, and then thanked the
men gravely for giving it to him,
There was 81, 500 in the greasy brown
paper, but the starter said he felt
obliged to hold on to it until the
owner called for it, which he did the
next day. Train men now invariably
inspect brown paper parcels with par
tcularity.-New York Sun.

Poetry to Re Sunp.

A reader of the lyric poetry of the
Elizabethan age is struck with its
adaptation to music, its limpidity and
directness of utterance.
Each composition. says Mr.. J. A.
Symonds, in The Fortnightly Re
view, lis meant to be sung, and can
be sung, because the poets soul was
singing when he made it."
The lyrics of the present age possess
but little of this quality. Mr.. Sy-
monds once asked Jennie Lind why
Shelley's lyrics were i'll adapted to
to music. She made him read aloud
to her the Song of Pan" and ITO the
Night" Then she pointed out that
verse is full of complicated thoughts,
and packed consonants. Not one
melodic phrase could be found to ex,
press the poetic emotion.
Il can sing Millions
LET the bright Seraphim in burning row,
Their loud. uplifted angel trumpets blown
said Jenny Lind, land can sing Dry
den, but could not sing your Shelley
Wordsworth, Keats; no, and not much
Tennyson either. Tennyson has
sought out all the solid sharp words
and put them together; music cannot
come between"
The lyrics of the present time, sc
Mr.. Symonds sums up the facts, are
not SO singable as the Elizabethan ly-
RIGS because they are far more complex
In their verbal structure, in Their
thoughts. images and emotions. Theil
words carry too many, too various
and too contemplative suggestions

The CObra's Revenge.

1t is commonly believed among the
Hindoos that no animal is more re
vengeful than the cobra, and that if d
person attempts to kill it, or does kill
its mate, it never rests until it has
wreaked vengeance. An employee OF
the Madras Railway company. while
seated on the veranda of his bungalow
observed two large cobras on the bar
rem plain Immediately in front of the
house. Aiming himself with sharp
cutlass, he sailed forth and succeeded
in killing one of the reptiles, but the
other, although wounded, made its
escape. He then returned to his bun.
galow, and, later in the day, prepared
to dress, when he was Mortified to see
cobra coming in at the window. He
He'd in alarm, and when he returned
with gun the snake had disappeared.
The next night. when returning home.
he was pursued by the same snake.
and had all he could do to escape.
This had such an effect on his mind
that he made application for change
to another division; but before the APP
plication could be granted the venge
full cobra actually attacked him one
evening while at tea and bit him on
the leg. The other guests killed the
snake. but the man never recovered in
spite of the best medical aid.-Phila

Story of a saxacious Mule.

Everybody who visits the Grand
Pacific with any amount of frequency
has made the acquaintance of Pat
Aaron. Pat has lately developed a
faculty for story telling, and has been
for some time past trying to make his
customers believe he has seen oysters
climb trees. Finding this yarn too
large, he has one now of modified
character. Patsays when he was down
in New Orleans he saw mule working
on street car line that had in a great
degree what might be considered genu-
inc horse sense. He says the animal
was known all through the Crescent
City by the name of Stonewall Jack
son, and when hitched up to his car in
the morning would not move until the
barn gong sounded the hour of leav-
ing, no matter how anxious the con-
ductor or the driver might be to get
minute or two the start for some pur
pose of his own. Pat says that one
morning the mule was brought up to
be hitched to strange car.
The instant Stonewall saw the car
he backed stubbornly away, and no
urging would induce him to get in his
place. At last he was led around to
the repair shops and shown his car, on
which the painters had begun work,
and he at once seemed to realize the
difficulty, for he went back and will
ingly took his place beside his mate
and drew the strange car all day
The next morning, though, the same
trouble ensued, and he had to be shown
that his own car was not ready. Where
Stonewall showed the greatest intelli-
gence, Pat says, was stopping appar-
emily without reason while on a trip
He did this one day when an extra
conductor was in charge. The con-
ductor came forward after minute or
two to see what the trouble was The
driver knew well, and told the extra
that he had collected fare and had
not rung his bell punch. At this the
conductor did ring, and old Stonewau
Jackson shook his head as much as to
say, "You can't fool me-" and started
off on trip without a word from the
driver.-Chicago Herald.

The Beautiful Red Bird.

I have never been able to find an
instance in which red birds have been
bred in captivity, and although so
many thousands are kept as pets, all
or nearly all must have been trapped.
This year thought my birds were GO
ing to make record for themselves,
but the usual failure ensued. The hen
laid five eggs, but refused to sit. Then
the male bird became ferocious and
nearly killed his neglectful mate.
They are now separate, but whenever
he is let out of his cage he flies to that
of the hen and tries to resume hostili-
ties. Yet canary bird can knock
him out the first round every time,
and takes immense delight in doing it
whenever the opportunity arises. St
Louis Globe Democrat.
