AN ASSIGNMENT.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 16.-

ner, made an assignment late this
afternoon. No schedule of liabili-
ties and assets were filed, The com.

was increased by a new issue of
$500, 900 of stock. The company has
been dealing in bonds, mortgages
and other securities, with branches
in New York and Boston, where
the great bulk of securities were dis
posed of. The company two years
ago purchased large tract of land,
in the eastern portion of this city,
subdivided 1t aud built eighty
houses upon it, The property was
mortgaged to buy land and construct
houses, and mortgages were dis
posed of In the East. Some of the
houses We're sold on long time pay
ments, while others are still on the
market. Mr., Winner said the as
signment was not a failure at all.
The company simply decided to go

A Unique Desk Top.

The large desk used by Postmaster
General Wanamaker has unique feature
which has recently been added Instead
of the usual cloth top large plate glass
covers the surface OF the desk and be-
meath it is map of the United States
showing parts of Canada and New
Mexico. a writing pad rests on the
glass, and there are the customary desk
fittings, as well as the papers which are
usually found in the workshop of busy
man like Mr.. Wanamaker. The map
shows the counties in each State, the
principal cities and towns, the lines Of
railways, etc., and when visitors talk to
Mr.. Wanamaker about post routes and
postoffices he can follow them OIL the
map which is spread out before his eyes
rs he sits at his desk. The map will be
apt to suggest what is really the fact,
that the Postmaster General in his official
capacity is the center of that vast postal
system which extends throughout the
country, connecting the great commercial
centers with the smallest villages and the
remotest points in the territory included
within the United States. = Rashingtoa

1t is well known that John A. Logan.
who was member of Congress at the
time the war began, left Washington
when he saw there was going to be n
tight, and seizing musket walked all
the way to Bull Run, where he arrived
just in time to take part in the battle.
He had on swalowtal coat, but he
stood up to the rack as long as anybody
did. He was back in Washington next
morning, II good deal out OF breath, and
was telling his fellow Congressman all
about it.
''Who gave you this ..ccount of the
fight?" asked Il member from the North
Woods Of New York.
why, was there myself, E" said Logan.
The New Yorker evidently had not heard
the news, for he seemed little mysti-
fled, and asked, rs if wishing to solve

"No," said Logan, "the cars amt

4 Flight Of Eagles.

A Russian letter says: A curious and
unusual sight has just been witnessed by
the inhabitants OF Bjelgoroi in the south
OF Rnssia. a few days ago an enormous
flight of eagles were seen to fly past the
town and settle in an adjacent forest.
The woodsnen who were in the forest at
the time fled in dismay from the place.
1t is well they did, for when these I'm.
welcome visitors had taken their de
parture, it was found that they had de-
voured ten horses, several sheep and a
vast number of smaller animals. The
ground where they aiigntcd was strewn
with feathers, and all the birds of the
neighborhood have been so terrified that
they have flown away. Only one of the
eagles was caught-a bird of immense
SIZE and belonging to n Siberian species.
The eagles, which were several hundreds
in number, flew away in southwesterly
direction. The peasants who saw this
remarkable sight state that there were
so many of them that for the space of
several seconds their wings hid the sun
from their sight.

thickness of Mnrrieh Cnunles.

Resemblance between husband and
wife have often been noted, and have
been ascribed to the influence exerted by
each on the other during many years of
life together. This explanation, how
ever, does not satisfy NJ. Hermann Fol,
n careful French observer, who is con
WINGED that in large number of cases
there is more or less striking similarity
from the beginning, and who concludes
that in such cases marriage is due to
qualities possessed by the couple in COM
mon, not to those in which they differ.
The resemblance in the many newly mar
ried people visiting Nice first drew his
attention to the subject. The curious
phenomenon so impressed him that he
obtained the photographs of 251 couples
for comparison, and he found q resem-
blance between husband and wife in 1872

couples represented, aud in thirty-cight

Foot Binding In China.

The binding Of the feet of Chinese fc-
males does not commence under four
years of age, aud rarely SO carly. In n
residence OF nearly twenty years in
China, in constant association with the
people having the supervision of num-
Der OF girls schools, as we'll as an inter-
est in large women's and girls hos
pital, never saw case OF binding as
young rs four years, though have heard
that in rare cases it may be commenced
Mt that age, says writer in a Boston
paper. The usual age is from six to
eight years. In my city school tie girls
average in age from six to ten, and were
all in the fifth year Of binding.
Two straps OF strong muslin nre pre-
pared about three feet long and seven
inches wide. The foot is placed in tho
centre of the length and the halves arc
crossed in X shape on top of the foot,
then passed under, and again over ms be.
fore, each end being drawn very tight,
aud so on until the entire foot is covered.
This is the method for the first year to
rcpress the growth of the feet, and is
most painful-far beyond any tight boot
that can be worn: When tho pain be-
comes uncomfortable the bandages arc re-
moved, and the little feet bathed in hot
water for relief
Thus softened they can be rebound
smaller than before. These bandagcs
are retained day aud night, and shoes to
suit are worn. The second year all tho
small toes are folded under the foot.
leaving only the great toe out, aud the
same method of bandaying is continued,
save that as the binding approaches the
heel fold is thrown around the back of
it to pull it toward the toes and shorten
the foot, and this in time forces the
large bones of the foot up into tho in
step, making an ugly bunch there, caus-
ing fearful pressure and leaving q little
hollow under the foot where the folded
toes lie.
AS my readers can imagine, the pain
is most severe, and the little girls grow
pale and thin under it; and yet they
often ask to have their feet bound be.
cause it is so honorable; yet no child can
bear the binding without cry of pain.
The pressure upon the instcp is some
times SO great that the skin breaks, ul-
ccration and oven modification takes
place, and the child dies; but this is
rare. Great care is used in bathing aud
watching the feet, aud prompt remedies
arc used if disease appears. 1t takes
from eight to eleven years to complete
the genuine lady's foot, such rs can wear
the two inch shoes, and rs is fashionable
ill South China, from Foochow to Can
ton.

Why n Parrot Died Broken-Hcartcd.

DR.. Charles Dunlap, of Springfield,
Ohio, tells the champion parrot story of
the season. The parrot was an ordinary
green bird, with II bright yellow head,
filled with brains of an extra quality.
When it arrived at the doctors house it
looked much the worse for wear, with
dirty feathers and n generally dilapi-
dated appearance. 1t soon commenced
to make up for its deficiencies il person.
al appearance by its extraordinary intel
lcctual qualifications. 1t would sing
"Thc Girl Left Behind Me" altered to
"Thc Poll Left Behind Me-" words
and music perfectly. 1t would play hide
and seek with the doctor, and when any
thing funny was told ut the table it
would be the first to laugh, aud would
laugh i'll boistcrous manner. 1t would
initiate anything it heard. It's favoritc
in the house was n servant girl who was
always very good to it. This girl, when
she wns peeling apples or peaches, always
remembered Polly, and was so good to
the bird that it contracted n violent
affection for her. Some time afterwards
the girl left. When she was gone Polly
underwent complete change. It be.
came snd, silent anu melancholy. It re-
fused to be comfortcd aud would not say
n word to any one. 1t walked around
the house with dropping feathers and an
air OF deep detection. Some weeks
afterwards the girl came back. and Polly
frightened up from the first day it saw
her. 1t commenced to hugh and talk
again, and seemed its own self once
more. The girl only remained n day or
two, however, and when she left poor
Polly again dropped. Nothing seemed
to revive it, and in few weeks it sick
cncd and died, literally of broken
heart. There was great grief in the
household when Polly died, and its place
has never been filled. . Dr. Dunlap says
that Polly Hamilton, rs the bird was
called, was the only parrot he every saw
which would talk con demand"-that
