=. Pirate iS:rd,

Ex-Governor William G.. Sterctt Of
Dallas, Tex, says in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat: "While on fishing
and hunting expedition on the Atlantic
coast in North Carolina my attention
wac attracted by the Ghrill and frantic
cries of scn-gull. AS 1 looked up
sew q Gird resembling hawk Gtrillc
tho gull under ito claws. when down
ccmc fish ono the pirate bird after it.
The fish had not conc ten :>ct before
the pirate bird had it in his stomach.
Then he scared upward with lightning
rcpidity, and descending equally as
quick, struck tho screaming gull on tho
back with such force that tho contents
Of it's stomach were forced out of it's
mouth, nnd tho pirate caught it in the
mir as it fell. kt this point took aim
ut tho pirate with nay anosrun and
brought him down."

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Tho Prompting Causes OF Their Lengthy
FliPhtR.

Flights.
Brehm, tho distinguished German
naturalist, who has SO recently died,
says love and hunger are the birds only
guiding imprlscs. The statement is
made, and is a very interesting one,
that those that cross the Mediterranean
sea in going from Africa to Europe fol-
low certain fixed youtes: First, by the
Straits Of Gibraltar; second, from Tunis
to Sardinia and Corsica to the shores of
the Gulf of Genoa: third, from Tripoli
by Malta and Sicily to Italy, etc.
How were these lines of passage
learned? In the diluvial period, what
IS now the Mediterranean sea consisted
OF two largo lakes, one of which was cut
OF the ocean by 4 broad strip of land
where now arc the Straits of Gibraltar,
and which were separated from each
other by land dixie composed of Italy,
Sicily, etc., which connected the two
continents. The birds, as they in
creased in numbers, migrated by these
routes in search of better breeding
places, and as the lands sank they con-
tinucd to follow them over gradually
narrowing belts of land, over marshes
and laguncs, and finally cover broad
waters, and yet no one generation was
aware of any change. They carried
with them the memory of their warm
winter home, and on the approach of
the European winter, when their food
supply failed, returned to it with their
young.
If this explanation is the correct one,
1T is evident, says Forest and Stream,
that we have failed in our efforts to in
troducc these migratory birds because
we have attempted to reverse the proc
css by which the habit of migration
was acquired, and, in order to succeed,
instead of turning them loose in the
north, we must give the strangers, sRy-
larlls, nightingalcs, quail. etc., n suita-
bic southern winter habitat IFlorida,
Louisiana, Mexico), from which in
spring, food failing or driven by an in
hcrent tendency (as asserted by Prof.
Baird), they may wander to some other
locality suitable for raising their young,
and to which, by virtue of memory thus
acquired and finally inherited, they may
return when. food fails them in their
summer hcmc.
If they wander in all directions from
the winter hcme, those that 60 to the
most favorable localities will most GER
tainly survive and multiply, while none
OF them will be in such unfavorable
conditions as those that may be turned
loose in our Northern States. They
will then, so for rs we can arrange it
fcc them, be best prepared for the
Strugglc for existence in this country,
over the whole of which, if they find
favorable conditions, we may expect
them soon to spread, and thus repay us
for our expenditure of effort und money.
BY initiating the processes Of nature we
shall mako haste slowly, but we shall
finally have our reward.

PROF. BAILEY ON COLOR"
Why Children should be Taught to Under
stand That Subject.

Prof Henry Il. Bailey, State visitor of
the Massachusetts, Board of Education,
gave an interesting address on Color"
before large gathering of the primary
school teachers of this city in the High
School building yesterday afternoon.
Prof. Bailey spoke as follows: "The
question may be asked, why color should
form a part of the education in the public
schoolsg The pupil coming to school
should live in two worlds. The natural
world, that is why the natural sciences
are being introduced, and the mental
world. Now II we consider the arts of the
world we find color in every one of them
and so the pupil should know something
of color that he may become acquainted
with the arts.
Again it may be asked how color is to
be studied. We have the art of coloring
which cannot be taught in the schools, but
we also have the science of color which
can be taught. In the solar spectrum we
find all colors, and with its aid the pupil
may study nature for himself. The pupil
may be taught a color by simply getting
him acquainted with it. Some children
nize color very well. 1t is impossible TO
teach color to a color-blind child.
The work of the first year should be TO
get the pupil to see color. The second
year the pupil should fix the six colors of
the spectrum, red, orange, yellow, green,
blue and violet in his mind. He should
also become acquainted with a hue to each
of these colors. The next year he may
learn the hues, thirteen in number and
thus know the whole nineteen colors.
Colors may be classified by their value
and by composition. The six standards
of the spectrum have complementaries,
but no one is the complement of any
CnlOrS hX
their qualities, either natural or acquired.
The latter quality is due to the back
ground on which the color is placed We
have analogous and dominant colors.
In nature is to be found this classifica-
ton of colors The colors of almost two
thirds of the flowers are complementary To
the colors of the leaves.
Color in nature is always harmonious.
We have found that the study Of con-
trasted harmony should be the work of
the first, second aud third years, perfect
ed harmony the fourth and fifth years,
complementary harmony the sixth year,
analogous harmony the seventh year and
dominant harmony the work of the
eighth year.
In the world to come the fact of music
and color being present is as sure as any
thing well can be TO us, and it may be that
i'm the teaching of color we are preparing
the children for the glory of the heavens.
The address was illustrated by means
of charts and revolving disks, and in
these ways the effects of combinations of
colors were shown.

ANTHONY, COWELL & co.
A Great Furniture House Full of
Fine Things for Christmas,

To those who are unaware of the pro-
gress of modern art in house-furnishing a
trip through the many departments of the
great house of Anthony, Cowell e. Co.
must prove revelation. Especially at
this season when every article that the
fastidiouS requirements OF modern com
fort or the sybaritic dreams of modern
luxury can suggest is set forth in bewild-
ering profusion To cater to the taste of the
Christmas shopper is such trip interest
ing and profitable
The great show windows of the estab-
lishment would serve in themselves to fur
nish forth a good-sized store. Gold and
onyx tables, beautiful and dainty, are set
forth in them to please the eyes of women,
and banquet lamps with gay, bright
shades shed soft, warm glow over the
pretty scene.
From room to room and from floor to
floor through the great house the interest
of the visitor never flags one step of the
way. There are quaint old-time chairs in
oak or mahogany, curiously and elabo-
rately carved-for the fashions of
the moment set strongly, toward
the fashions of long ago. There are
boudoir charmingly inlaid there are chif-
foniers and novel dressing tables with
triple mirrors, and hall stands and fancy
tables for the parlor-acres of all of these;
there are rich upholstered sets for the
drawing room and odd pieces in gold and
enamel, and bedroom sets in oak and ma
hogany and maple and wilderness of
desirable things in rattan and bamboo. 1t
is useless to begin to enumerate because
the task is impossible. The wise man who
is planning holiday surprise for his wife
or the woman who has similar designs
with regard to her husband cannot do bet
ter than go and see.
And the art annex should not be forgot

Physicians who have been longest in
practice here state that there are now
more persons i'll than at any time during
their experience.
Much sympathy is expressed for the Rev.
DIR. NJ. j. Talbot, whose son was suddenly
killed by being jammed between two
freight cars at Missoula, Mimi, last week.
DIR. and Mrs. Talbot had left Providence
and were settled for the winter at the
Hotel St. Stephen, New York city. On re
ceipt of the sad intelligence, DIR. Talbot
came To Providence with Mrs. Talbot TO
await the arrival of his sons body, which
IL was expected would reach the city on
Saturday. The last time his parents had
seen their son was during DIR. Talbot 3
pastorate over the NJ. T.. church here, the
young mans business keeping him at "A
point remote from home since then.
Mrs Will A. johnson of Providence is
at the home of eX-Postmaster Johnson,

IL is expected that Prof. Blakeselee OF
East Greenwich, will fill the pulpit at the
NJ. f.. Church on Sunday at the preaching
service, in the absence OF the pastor, the
Rev. j. :. Wadsworth, who is still too i'll
To leave his room.
There was Phenix man who, on Fri
day, went up 10 the city TO make pur-
chases of Christmas gifts. His wife gave
him polite inkling of what she would
like by telling him not TO get it, because
it was too expensive for poor people like
him, and he knew If he missed buying IL
after that there would be no need of re-
frigerator in the house for Irany moons.
Don't forget TO get your Aunt Mary
Ann something" said his wife emphati-
cally, because the old relative was cranky
and wealthy; she was cripple from par
alysis and unable To leave her room.
When the PheniX man returned he was
worn out and discouraged, but he hadn't
forgot his Aunt Mary Ann. He said he
walked in and out of every dry goods,
fancy. jewelry, music, art and drug store
to find her present, till he happened To
see lady buying, in dry goods shop,
nice pair of silk mittens. and that gave
him an idea, so he followed suit and took
a pair also. They're good ones, cost two
dollars" he said in answer TO his. wife's
look of scorn. Then she said in her on
the-witness- stand voice, "How do you
suppose a cripple and n woman who never
sets her foot out of doors is going to wear
mittensg" But the man had gone out and
was far down the street by the time he
should have explained.

Her pisappointment. /.

lady who WAS a great admifer OF Hor-
pce Greeley went one evening 70 hear him
lecture She had never seen her hero, but
was a constant reader of his paper, and
had her own ideas as to how he would look
and act.
The chairman Of the meeting desired to
air his Latin, and introduced the speaker
i'm the following rather vague and indefi-
ute manner:
Ladies and gentlemen. you came very
near being disappointed this evening, as
Mr.. Greeley has been very i'll, and l trust
that slight change Of programme will be
excused on this account.
Gas know that you are all anxious for
the lecture to begin, / will only detain you
to say that I have the pleasure and honor
of introducing to you the facile princeps OF
journalism"
The lady waited TO hear no more, but
went home in disgust.
"Well, my DEAR" asked the husband
who was taking care of the baby during
his wife's absence, show did you like tht
lectures"
81 didn't stop to hear it," was the reply
Greeley was sick, and they got another
man to take his place who was such q
queer looking old guy that l wouldn''
waste my time listening to him, so came
back"
"Who was the mani"
"I don't know" she answered, still In
dignant at her disappointment "Some
body / never heard Of before. His name
was Facily Princes"
The lady was still more disappointed tn,
next day when she discovered in the paper
"A long account Of Greeley's lecture, which
the great editor, although feeling quite ill
had delivered in a forcibe and impressive
manner.
The paper remarked that the chairman
stated the truth when he called Greeley
easily the first Of journalists. IL ther
dawned upon the lady that her "Facill
Princes" was really the editor of The Trib
une. Youths Companion.

Next Monday the second trial for an
election of mayor Will take place, ana ac-
cording to the present outlook Will result
exactly as before. Rumors of trades and
deals are flying thick and fast. but they
will probably amount TO nothing In the
end. IL is the general opinion that Getch-

then introduced the speakers in the order

Monday, and make strenuous efforts TO
secure a large registration for the coming

The queerness of politics was never bet
