FAMILY TRADITIONS.
Households That Possess an Atmosphere
of Sanctity.

Households That Possess an Atmosphere
of Sanctity.
Sometimes we come upon a family
unique as a bit of genre painting. No
need of family portraits or yellowed
title-deed to proclaim this house with
traditions. The walls breathe them, as
old chests breathe lavender. Chairs,
tables, and trumpery knick-knaclSs
upon the mantels and the corner shelves
takes airs to themselves as having had
their beauty at compound interest years
and years, and all but join in the
conversation. Is story told? Age
has lent it a bouquet fine as wine
in cobwebbed vaults. Is song sung?
Ten to one it is a very silly old song,
but it has the charm of an heirloom.
And as you watch the family move and
speak and smile you are dimly aware
that it is in accordance with laws and
customs all their own.
They live in an atmosphere of In
dian-summer haze. Hence they are not
ferret-eyed for flaws of society or char
acter, and may never be heard of among
the worlds master-minds. But they are
very gentle livers, deeply human hearts.
Their web of tradition is as prophetic of
sunny weather as the gossamer webs in
in autumn. Often they are the stuff Of
which martyrs are made Harper's
Bazaar.
Feliciana sentinel., 1891-02-14

Cow-birds are SO called from an odd
fancy they have of taking ride on the
cows back occasionally while in the
pasture. The female is homely enough
to be called a cow-bird, being of a uni
form dusky grayish brown, but the
male is a fine-loolSing bird, clad in an
entire suit of rich black velvet, with
head and neck of deep maroon color.
Cow-birds usually look for the homes of
birds that are smaller than themselves,
and if fortunate in finding one where
the owners have gone out on business
or pleasure the lady-bird takes posses
sion of the nest and leaves an egg there
and then quietly takes her departure.
This is not a very laay-like proceeding.
but there may be some reason for it,
either the birds are too lazy to build
nests for themselves or they don't know
how. Their eggs are large, of a dirty.
