Court Presentations.

Half of the American women, Or
perhaps all of them, who spend their
money and energies in obtaining a pre-
sentation to royalty-at the point OF
the bayonet, so to speak-have but one
idea in view. 1t is to say they have
been at close quarters with the queen
of England, and breathed the same
atmosphere for about two and one half
seconds as that pudgy but virtuo,1s
monarch. This is something to relate
to ones relatives at home, perhaps
The cost OF presentation, as every
one knows, ranges from hundreds to-
thousands of dollars but, of course, the
good American like Mr.. Mantalin5

thankful if no divorce nor scandal pre-
vents the lord chamberlain from order
ing taboo at that or any other royal
function in the hereafter. Judging,
however, by the names which have al
ready been sent in by that exalted
functiOnary, the overrich citizen of the
United States does not always get,
there. The line, it seems, can be-
drawn, even at a court presentationt
Let us be grateful for so much, al
though it breaks a millionaire heart OF
two to find the mighty dollar is not
sesame in royal palace. 1t seldom
happens that money fails as key, but
at that precious court of. St. James
there is a sort of Yale lock which
defes it. And after all is said and
done, and the American society beauty
has been stared at by naughty royalty
and has heard her name called in the
halls of the elect, what then? Is it not
very silly, very absurd, and about as;
childish as the performances at a
fashionable dancing school class2'

THE MOCKlNG BIRD

nous American Songster.
The hooking bird belongs to the
great thrush family. It has slender
form with long tail, and a bill as
long as its head and rather wide at the
base, broad and strongly built breast
bone, and it's tongue is deeply cleft.
with hair on the ends and outside edges
OF the forked part. Its color is q mix :
ture OF gray, brown and white. and it's
eyes are dark. Some are white, with
pink eyes. but these specimens are ex--
tremely rare.
Their nests are made of twigs and
weeds, and are lined with fibrous roots,
hOrse-hair and cotton, sometimes mix
ed with human hair and cotton cord
The birds do not take much pains ina
building them and they do not seem to :
try to hide them. They select some
spot within a. few feet of the ground
in an orange tree or a blackberry
bush, and like their cousins, the.
robins, they love to live near the
dwellings of man.
This may be owing to the protection
such places afford against their natural
enemies. The hawk, the wildcat, the
opossum, and other animals that would
disturb his peace, are likely to shun.
human abodes, and the country's being
open about such places makes the ap--
proach of any foe readily seen. The,
eggs, as well as the young birds, are
much sought after by snakes, but the
parent birds are often successful in
driving them off and they are always.

on their property.

and keeps them warm and the male
bird brings her worms and other deli
cacies during this time and when the
birds are young.
When they are first Matched the bird
lings are very ugly, for they have long
bills that are always stretched open
for food, and scrawny, bare bodies
with few pale yellow hairs scattered
over them. But their feathers grow
very rapidly, and in about two weeks
they are full-fedged and are able to
leave their nest and their father be-
gins to give them lessons in flying and
in singing.
hooking birds are found in nearly
every part of the United States, but in,
the north they are only summer visi-
tors, and they migrate to the south in
winter, passing that season in the states
that border on Mexico and the Cult.

q pang with it as severe as if the child
were really her own. AS the cold
spasm passed through her heart, q
raven, croaking hoarsely, passed close
to where she stood. She tried to
shrink into the rocks behind her, as
she felt the brushing Of his Tapping
and ominous wings; but a happy re-
collection connteracted the impression
Of these thoughts and this incident.
"He feeds the young ravens" said
she; primrose will not perish, and
neither shall I, if I am not chicken

A minute afterwards, she could hear
a grating sound, as down, down, there
descended another basket and another
rope. The men above knew not if
the first creel were still safe, and
they took the precaution to lower
another; it passed the bewildered
woman, whose senses were becoming
confused, and in consequence. she
missed the right moment for Selling
it; a second more, and the exertion to
draw it back to her would probably
have overbalanced her, but that
laid hold of and drawn it to her. She
now discarded the first basket to
make way for the second; and per-
haps, at no moment the fearful agony
OF her position was more dangerous
to her safety than when kicking it
from her, in the little void between
her and destruction yet untitled by
the other creel, she saw the abyss be-
low; she could not, dared not, shut
her eyes, nor yet open them to the
perils before her, for up to that mo-
ment she had sought to steady her
nerves by not looking beyond or
above the basket. She had schooled
her imagination in marvellous man.

Drawing the cord towards her, she
soon managed to place herself in her
new vehicle, and few moments
afterwards saw her landed in triumph,
