The old, wrinkled, dusky aunties OF
southern plantations will tell children,
do not eat the bluebirds' eggs; they
make you love to wander" They believe
that the pale blue eggs of that beautiful
creature, THAT violet of the air." that
bird with "sky tinge on his back, earth
tinge ON his breast" will make the greedy
nest robber restless as long as he lives.
No place, however enticing, can hold the
being who has once tasted a bluebird's
egg.
He who eats a mocking birds egg will
be compelled to ''tell all he knows" The
one who robs a killdee's nest and eats its
eggs will surely break an arm.
He who eats a doves egg will be fol-
lowed by bad luck. while the egg of any
bird of yellow plumage will be sure to
aust a fever, and he who eats an owls
egg will be always shrieking. The eater
of a crows egg will always, as old aunt
les say, ''be gwine on foolish like a crow
does go on, 'Ha! Ha! Hal! But a par
tridge's eggs they declare, ''du DIES make
you thrive an grow fas'; dey is de onlies'
sort er birds eggs dat you kin eat widout

The Dudish PEARSON.

A sick man sent for the nearest spirit
ual adviser. 1t so happened that the
minister was a new fedgling Just emer-
ging from the seminary. He was dudish
in the extreme. His coat was cut in
true clerical style, and his face bore the
expression of affected literary culture.
Going to the poor mans house he sat ON
the edge of a chair. toying with his hat
and stroking his downy mustache. Said
he to the dying man, after a long spell of
silence painful to all:
"What induced you to send for me?'
"You will have to speak louder, faint

And then in a loud, shrill and stento-

A Proof of Gnnantry.

Those vinegary persons who think po-
likeness is q lost science because they
sometimes see ladies standing in the
cars while tired men are seated can see
the refinement of gallantry any and
every day in the General ~postoffice.
There is never an hour while the long
line of men tails away from the retail
stamp window that some woman does
not insist upon taking her place at the
head of the line instead Of the foot. to
buy a stamp or get a package weighed.
Time is precious TO most of the men in
the line, but no one has ever been known
to object to the peculiarly feminine ir-
regularity, whereas if a man tries to do
the same thing oaths and violence are
sometimes used to right the injustice

Hints for n Bachelor.

An infant may be as old as Methuse-
lah or as young as a baby ephemeron for
all you can tell. Now, you need just
one suggestion to help you out. 1t is
this: If the baby is in long clothes call
it q year old. 1t won't be, but that's
part of the diplomacy. If it's in short
clothes and can't talk call it 5 years. 1t
won't be that, but that's more diplomacy.
If it can talk call it anywhere from 8 to
s years old.
This is the course which things may
then be confidently expected to take:
The mother proudly exhibits her off
spring. Bearing in mind the rules here
laid down you say of a long skirted
youngster, ''What a remarkably devel-
oped child for one a year old"
But it's really only six months, you
know" answers the mother, indulgently
%unlnindful of your mistake because OF
the fattery it implies.
In the case of a short skirted, non
locomotive youngster you will be safe
in saying, Isn't this a wonderfully fine
baby for one four or five years old?" You
may be years out of physical reckoning
again, but the mother will 500 see that
it is the precocity of the infant that has
misled you, and as before she will par
don much.
Remember this as you would the Ten
Commandments: Always add to the age
of a baby and subtract from the age of
its mother. No matter how far astray
you may go it will never be treasured up
against you.-New York Evening Sun

Bruins Poker Bluff,

George Cole, of Fairhaven, Wash,
who has had charge of a Port Townsend
southern party of engineers for some
time past, was in the city the other day,
and talked freely of the experiences the
boys had had with big game in that
wild region. One of tho stories which
he relates is as follows:
During the summer we had a pet
bear-one that we caught when it was
only a few weeks old, and kept until it
got to be a nuisance. We had trained
it down to a fine point. You have heard
of the educated hog that could read?
Well, Ruby couldn't do that exactly, but
he could play cards. and when it came
to a bluff at poker he simply couldn't be
beaten. He was sublime.
I've seen him when there was a pot of
fifty or more Jumps of sugar-we al
ways played fer sugar when Ruby was
in it-bluf the entire gang and rake in
the stakes when it proved he had moth
ing better than a pair of twos. No, he
couldn't talk; but he'd wag his head if
he wanted to pass, and his eye stood
him in good stead when it came to any.
thing else. Wonderful eye had Ruby,
and | don't suppose We would have
killed him if we hadn't caught him one
day, after he had won nearly all the
sugar in the outfit, scratching his ear
and pulling out an extra ace from n Of
the big wrinkles in his neck. Alas, poor
Ruby! He was q thoroughbred, but too
smart for this country, and we had part
of him for dinner that day."-Forest and

Advice for Speakers.

One of the common mistakes made by
the tyro in public speaking is that of ex-
hausting his subject and his audience at
the same time. By too great discursive-
ness the pith of the subject is lost. and
what might have been a victory is turned
into signal defeat. To save such a dis
aster one should think carefully upon
any subject before attempting to talk
upon it, and in the thinking keep strict
ly to the salient points and the simplest
possible form of giving them express
sion.
Only the born orator, the genius, may
safely venture into the flower garden of
speech and indulge in glowing and
highly colored perorations. To the or
binary speaker close attention to facts
and simple statement in well chosen and
convincing language are the safest and
surest means of winning golden opinions
for self and success for ones cause at
the same time.-Jenness-Miller Maya

A Mans DDipfon.

It was & wise man who said on the
subject of woman's dress: 81 have found
invariably that those women who really
understand the art ef dress, who know
what to wear and WREN to wear it, have
taste and intelligence Of a more refined
order than those who regard costumes
in the light of mere clothes, and who not
only reveal no appreciation of a wom-
ans obligations to look her best at all
times, but affect to treat dress altogether
as a subject only for the attention of
frivolous minds

more often seen than that of President
Lincoln sitting with a big book IN his
knee, and his little son Tad leaning
against him and looking at it with him.
The book was then thought to be a BIZ

Brady's picture album, which the presi-

some ladies stood by. The artist begged
the president to remain quiet, and the

Allen O'Myers was lecturing in an up

Sailors are a bowlegged class. An old
salt always walks as if he were on the
deck of a ship, and he never takes great
strides like a landsman. He is used to
having to walk great distances, in his
imagination, on the quarter deck, and he
can't get rid of the habit of making the
most of his promenade.
