The screech Owl.

Few cries of birds are more melancholy
than that of the screech owl, sound which
has long been regarded with dislike. The
superstitious dread of the cry of the owl is
found in the forest lands of the far west.
The redskin listens with alarm to the dis
NAL screeching of the owl, firmly believing
that its wild cries portend some impending
calamity. Wilson, the ornithologist, in
describing the cry of these owls, says:
This ghostly watchman has frequently
warned me of the approach of morning,
sweeping down and around my fires, utter
ing loud and sudden Waugh Oh waugh
or sufficient to have alarmed whole gar
risou. He has other nocturnal solos, one
Of which very strikingly resembles the half
suppressed scream of person suffocating
or throttled." Sir John Richardson mar
rates the circumstance of party of Scot
tish Highlanders who passed a long win
ter's night of intense fear in the depths of
an American pine forest. They had made
their bivouac fire from wood taken from
an Indian tomb; all night long the shrieks
of the owl rang in their affrighted ears,
cries which they at once judged came from
the spirit of the old warrior bemoaning his
desecrated resting place

The groom at a morning wedding may
wear cutaway coat, but the frock coat is
preferred. His light suit for travelling is
correct. The ushers enter the church first,
followed by the bridesmaids. The maid of
honor precedes the bride. This order is re-
versed when leaving the church. At the
reception, the bridesmaids stand on each
side near the bride, and the ushers receive
the guests and present them to the bride
and groom.
Tea gowns are worn in ones own home
when receiving few friends, or when stay
ing in the country house of an intimate
friend. They are not worn when giving a
formal reception.
Serve coffee in large cups for high tea,
but do not make another service of it later.
Coffee at dinner is, of course, only served
after dessert, and always in small cups.

a Model Of Itallan Matrons.

Vittoria Colonna, the Italian poetess of
the Fifteenth century and a model of
Italian matrons, as she was styled, was
born In 1890. the daughter of Fabrizio
Colonna, great constable of the kingdom
Of Naples, and Of Anna, the daughter of
Federico di Montefeltro, duke of Urbine.
Vittoria belonged to one of the oldest and
most illustrious families of Italy, who, in
the Eleventh century, became possessed of
the feudal estate of La Colonna in the Tus-
culan hills, and made themselves famous
as soldiers and priests. At the age of
seventeen Vittoria married Francis Dava-
los. son OF the marquis of Pescara, who
served with distinction in the armies of
Charles V. aid in 1925 died of the wounds
he had received in the battle of Pavia,
where, as commander of the imperial
army, he greatly contributed to the glori-
Gus victory over the French. Vittoria
Colonna, who was inconsolable for the
death of her husband, determined on spend
ing the remainder Of her life in religious
seclusion, although various proposals of a
second marriage were made to her. Her
contemporaries, among them Michael An
gelo and Ariosto, extolled her beauty, her
talents and her virtue, and her poems, en-
titled "Rime della divina Vittoria Colon
ma di Pescara.e were greatly admired. and
have often been reprinted Vittoria Co
lonna died at Rome in i547, and her poems
upon religious subjects, Rhine Spirituale

MarrIage customs in brittany.

In Brittany, if the wife seeks to rule. she
must take care that the ring. when placed
on her finger, shall slip at once to it's place,
instead of allowing it to stop at the first
Joint. The bride who lost her ring lost her
appetite, and TO break it portended death.
Attention is also paid in this province to
the altar candies. If they burn brightly
throughout the mass the couple will live
harmoniously. The one whose candle
burns with the brightest flame will live
longest. If one goes out. then its donor
will die that year.
The Swedish bride tries to see the groom
before be sees her. to gain the mastery.
She places her foot before his during the
ceremony and sits in the bridal chair first.
She must stand near the groom. SO that no
one can come between them.

THE NAME CRANK
One Version Of How This Much Abused
Term Originated.

One Version of How This Much Abused
Term Originated.
It is claimed by one authority that the
first 'crank" was Morse, the inventor OF
the telegraph. According to the popular
story, when Morse made his first appear
ance in Washington and when corieress
met he was on hand to try and secure an
appropriation of Sl7 900 to build an expert
mental telegraph line from Washington to
baltimore. He brought along with him
his wires, instruments and electrical gen
orator. The former he stretcheE in and
around the Capitol building, with instru-
ments here and there, and the generator,
which was operated with crank, he placed
In convenient location and secured the
services of a man to do the generating.
The experiment created intense interest
among the members Of congress, and espe-
cialIy among the northern members of the
senate. They became so absorbed in Mr..
Morse and his experiment. and they neg
iectesi their business in the senate to such
an extent, that that body was frequently
without a quorum The center of their
interest was the crank machine turned by
the man in his operation OF generating the
electric current for the wires The interest
but increased as Mr.. Morse each day more
clearly demonstrated the practicability of
his invention, and the public's business in
the senate suffered accordingly
Finally. Senator Benton's patience be-
came exhausted at the want of a quorum,
and. rising in the senate one morning. he
said
Mr.. President, it is quite evident to my
mind that we will never be able to proceed
with business till this crank man and his
bill is disposed of, and, with the object of
Fastening him to fold up his crank and get
away from the Capitol so we may have the
attention of the senators, move that the
bill appropriating $1,000 to construct a
line between this city and Baltimore be put
upon its passage"
As soon as word went out that the bill
had been called up. the northern senators
hocked into the chamber, and in few
minutes Mr.. Morse was made happy over
the passage of his bill. But from that time
on he was known as Morse, the Crank"

A slnple CureE for nrosnuIto Tites.

A German scientist is credited with say
ing that of the various remedies recon-
mended for mosquito bites, such as am
monia, oil of cloves, chloroform, carbolized
glycerin, etc., none is better than ordi-
nary soap. He is an ardent naturalist and
on his frequent excursions in the country
he invariably carries n small piece of soap,
with which in case of a bite he makes
lather all over the affected part and allows
it to dry on. He almost invariably finds
that the relief is instantaneous, and that
all pain soon ceases. Should it continue,
however, as sometimes happens, it is only
necessary to repeat the application.

THE NEBRASKA CASE.

The United States supreme court has
80 far disappointed the expectations
that seem to have accompanied the
scheme engineered so suddenly through
the Nebraska high court to battle the
will of the people in restoring THAYER
to the office of governor. 1t was glee-
fully predicted that the case would be
denied recognition or action, ex-
cept in the ordinary course, long
after the question had ceased TO
be practical one Justice BREW
Err has granted the writ of error
returnable on the 23d, AMI it is believed
that the hearing will be had and the
question determined before the end of
the present term. The conclusion of
the supreme court cannot of course be
anticipated, but there is entire conf
dence that it will fairly determine the
question, without any of the sinister
suspicious that environ the unseemly
haste of the Nebraska court. 1t is of
much Importance only in Nebraska
whether BOYD or THAYER acts as gov
ernor, but the point involved is of wide
interest. Cases will be found freouent

EXILED NATALIE.
The Queen Was Prepared for Elk
DuIsion, and Meant to Resist.


LONDON. May 20.-Ex-Queen Natalie
has arrived at SenlIn, Hungary. She
wore dark cloak, which was thrown
over an elegant white dressing gown,
the lace of which fell over her bare
hands, while her dark hair stretched
back, forming an effective back
ground for her face, which was
pale with emotion. Possibly her
costume was intended for effect, but
Vienna dispatches state that the Bel
grade police forced Natalie'S residence
without warning, brutally seized her
and thrust her into carriage. She told
them to tell the ministers that this
shameful deed would be an indellible
blot on the government and the conn-
try, and that such deeds would avenge
themselves. She also said that the min
listers would have to do penance before
God and the nation. 1t is reported that
the young king wept bitterly when his
mother was so rudely forced to leave
the country. Ex-Queen Natalie had
expected that the coup would take
place in the night time, and
had enlisted the support of the stu
dents and armed the various members
of her household with revolvers. When
surprised by the attempt made on Mon
day to force her from Servia, the ex-
queen requested the officers to give her
two hours to prepare for her departure,
and, her request being granted, she was
then induced to send word to the stu
dents to organize and come to her res
cue. A Vienna dispatch says that Ma
talie has chartered a steamer and has
chosen the Danube river route as one
which will make possible the demon
STATIONS which are to be INDUCED in by
the people along the river banks. It is
thought that the ex-queen may attempt
to effect landing on the Servian side
of the stream.

in states that allow voting on declara-
tons. Gov. BOYD came to the country
with his father at ten years of age, and
knew that his father took out the
first papers. but had neglected
the final ones. or, if he had taken them,
no evidence of tie fact was obtainable.
Since his manhood he had voted and
held office, with no suspicion that there
was any flaw in his right. Instances
are familiar where the father never ap-
piled for citizenship, but as his small
sons born abroad grew up they exer--
ciSed all the rights of natives, voting
and holding Office, with no suspicion of
illegallty. Some such are now holding
important positions. An inquiry into
the facts would make trouble for them.
1t has been the common impression that
when the father declared his intention
of citizenship, the minor SONS need not
take any action on coming of age. It is
desirable that the exact force of the
legal requirements shall be determined.

UNDESIRABLE VISITORS.
Twenty Thousand Ignorant Ital-
ians for the United States.


WASHINGTON, May 20.-T United
States consul at Gibraltar has made
report to the state department in re-
gard to foreign immigration to the
United States, in which he says that no
less than thirty-one foreign steamships
have touched at that port during the
last four months, carrying 10000 Jtal-
ian immigrants to the United States,
and several other steamships are eX-
pected to follow soons from the same
quarter with immigrants in such num-
berS as to constitute regular exodus
from the Italian kingdom. The United
States consul at Naples reports to the
state department under date of April
q, that a vast multitude of immigrants
are leaving that port for the United
States on every steamer sailing for New
York, being crowded to its utmost ca
pacity with Italians principally from
the provinces. very ignorant and un-
desirable people. The consul says he
is informed that certain districts in
Italy are nearly depopulated of men,
leaving the work of cultivating the
ground to be done by women at home.
a steamer from Brazilian and Argen-
tine ports has arrived at Marseilles
bringing back about 100 utterly desti-
tute Italian emlSrantS VINO mad sought
fortune in those countries. They tell
startling stories of the hardships
they have suffered, and it is ex-
pected that their return will tend
to increase the number of Italian emf
grants who will seek employment in the
United States. In fact, the recent in
crease in the number of italian emf
grants who have started or are on the
point of starting for the United States
Is attributed in some quarters to the I'M
favorable reports received from Italians
who have been induced to try their luck
in South America.
