Let EAery Lover of Birds.

Reaf the following from
Rev. DR.. Talmage, OF Brook
lyn:
This morning | had put
in my hand a leafetfr0m the
MASSACHUSETTS, Society for pre-
vention ofcruelty to animals.
1t contains q letter from Pun
dita Ramabia, of India, in
which he says there is more
wronSSdone the bin dsin Amer
ica than in India.
n n
We want more birds, mill
ions of them, multiplied by
other millions that shall sing
in every tree-top and hutter
out OF every grove and nest
under the caves of very
house. We are barring the
orchards and gardens and
the harvest fields Of America
to an exposure that is awful
beyond calculation. So the
ornithologists tell US. so the
agricultural department. at
Washington tell us. so legis-
lative committees tell us. so
common sense tells us. The
laws On this subject are insnf
ficipnt. Those we have al
ready upon books are not ex
ecuted. What is most need
ed and what will be most ef-
fe:tive will be the establish
ment Of a pnblic sentimentin
American womanhood that
shall be opposed to the bird
slaughter. If once they real
ize the wrong they will extin-
guish it.
The kindly and S O n GIN I
birds have enough enemies
without human antagonism.
No creatures OF God have n
harder time tolive than they.
First, they have enemies in
the animal kingdom, as man
has in his. The eagles, the
crows, the squirrels, are their
assailants. Then the hurri-
canes dash them against the
rocks, and beat them against
lighthouses, and tangle them
in telegraphic wires, and toss
them into the sea. Eand drive
them back in their semi-hn-
nual migration. And they
have their own distempers to
contend against, and what a
gauntlet of earth and sky
they run before they come in
range Of a sportsman or tax
idermist. For Gods sake and
the haryest's and the orch
ards and the gardens, of
which they are the natural de-
tenders, let their live, and re-
member that while you have
navies and armies to keep off
other enemies, against whole
kingdoms Of singing, besoil-
ing and deathful animalcul@,
there is only one weapon
that has ever been formed
or ever will be formed, and
that is a birds beak.
Do not pull down your own
fortresses.
Do notspikey own guns.
Do not carbine your own
cavalry.
Instead of this perpetual
shooting and stoningofyour
feathered friends, feed h e
snow-b bird from your window,
and listen quietly to the song
in the forest, and coax the
advances Of these bright crea
lures of God.
Do not kill the musicians.

THE SICK HEN GAVE A FEW FAINT CHIRPS
and each seemed to have something to say
After about fifteen minutes had been spent
in this manner, a healthy young Dominick
hen that was laying eggs every day and
had shown no signs of desiring to set, step
ped out from among the rest and took her
position by the side of the sick hen.
Upon this the mother hen gave few
faint chirps which all the chickens answer
ed with a chirp. Then the mother looked
toward the Dominick and gave two or
three clucks, to which the Dominick re-
sponded for the first time with "cluckl
cluck" and the chickens answered with
"peepl peepp' in concert, and all rushed
up to the Dominick. The mother hen gave
two or three farewell chirps, and the new
mother walked off with the brood, cluck-
ing and scratching as vigorously for them
as il she had herself Matched the brood
The Dominick and brood never went near
the mother again. She died the next day,
and the Dominick protected and faithfully
raised the chicks committed to her care.
This seemed to those who witnessed it as
genuine case of giving away children be-
fore death as we witness among human
kind. These creatures must have com
municated with each other about the mat
ter, judging from their ACTIONS, ami tine old
saying that ACTIONS speak louder than
words" was true in this case.

A Little Girl with Two Faces.

heard strange thing the other day,
says writer in The Examiner. 1t was of
little girl who had two faces. When she
is dressed up in her best clothes, when some
friends are expected to come to tea, or
when she is going out with her mother to
call on some neighbors, she looks SO bright
and sweet and good that you would like to
kiss her With a nice white dress on, and
perhaps blue sash and pretty little shoes,
she expects her mothers friends will say:
What little darlingr' or, "What sweet
face, let me kiss itp' And SO she always
has nice smile on her face, and when she
is spoken to she says, "Yes, ma'am," "No.
ma'am," when she ought, and 'Thank
you," very sweetly, when anything is
given her.
But, do you know, when she is alone
with her mother and no company is ex-
pected, she does not look at all like the
same little girl. If she cannot have what
she would like, or do just what she wishes,
she will pout and scream and cry, and no
one would ever think of kissing her then.
also know little girl who has only one
face, which is always as sweet as peach,
and never sweeter than when she is at
home and her mother wants her to be as
useful as she can and help her. think
need scarcely ask you which Of these little
girls you like best, or which of them you
would most like to resemble.

and beautiful women. She is typical
Shorter, clever, vivacious and sparkling.

laughs at it and enjoys it; and withal,

Pennsylvania displayed some time since no
small degree of industry in collecting au-
tographs of distinguished persons. James
Russell Lowell was one of the number ad-
dressed. The address to him was in sub

q lesson that many besides the ambitious
pupil have not learned: "Pray do not say

Cattle Queens.

A western cattle rancher says: "It is
becoming an everyday occurrence to see
women out west dealing in cattle and
horses. The loneliness and hardships of
the great prairies do not seem to deter
energetic women from the purpose of
conducting profitable business. A few
days ago cattle queen from Idaho sold
two carloads of fine horses at Omaha at
a much better figure than any man could
have obtained. You see, women have
an intuitive talent for bargains, and can
get all there is out of a sale. Several
years ago we had cattle queen in the
west, but now the plains and cattle
tracts are noted for the number of
queens. Chicago Tribune.

An Anecdote About the Conduct of Two
Hens and a Brood of Chicks.
A gentlemen had among his Spanish hens
a mother with nine chickens. This hen at
length sickened with comb disease. Her
chicks were only about four weeks old and
could scratch but little for themselves. The
weak mother would go around with them,
putting down her bill to show where they
were to scratch. She soon became too weak
for this, and the gentleman says: 'Soon
after we noticed all of her chicks standing
around her in a sort of half circle with their
eyes looking piteously toward her, peeping
meurnfully, she in t In giving faint chirps

The smartest Ball Gown of the Season

The Smartest Ball Gown of the Season.
The smartest ball dress seen this sea-
son is an old rose chiffon, made with
skirt of dancing length and bodice of
velvet exactly the color of the lighter
material; about the skirt, in rows ar
ranged to represent stiff bows and ends,
is feather trimming of the rose shade
carefully appliqued on; the neck is out
lined with pink feathers, pink feather
aigrette is worn in the hair. pink
feather fan is carried, and the long un-
dressed kid gloves are pink. The wear
er of this costume, however, perfectly
understood the coquetry of slippers, and
so she wore black silk stockings and
black satin slippers, realizing that they
made her foot look much smaller than
any light shoe.-New York Letter.
