The WhistIing Girl.

The whistling girl does not COM
monty come to a bad end. Quite as
often as any other girl she learns to
whistle cradle song, low and sweet
and charming. to the Young voter in
the cradle. She is a girl of spirit, of
independence of character of dash and
flavor; and as to lips, why. you must
have some sort of presentable lips to
whistle; thin ones will not. The whis-
tling girl does not come to a bad end
at all (if marriage is still considered a
good ocupation), except a cloud may
life by this rascally proverb. Even if she
walks the lonely road of life, she has
this advantage that she can whistle to
keep her courage up. But in a larger
sense one that this practical age can
understand, it is not true that the
whistling girl comes to bad end.
Whistling pays. 1t has brought her
money; it has blown her name about
the listening world. Scarcely has a
non-whistling woman been more ia
nous. She has set aside the adage.
She has done so much toward the
emancipation of her sex from the
prejudice created by an ill-natured
proverb which never had root in fact.
But has the whistliny woman come
to stay? Is it we'll for women to whis-
tie? Are the majority of women like
ly to be whistlerS? These are serious
questions not to be taken up in light
manner at the end of a grave paper.
Will woman ever learn to throw a
stone? There it is. The future is iu-
scrutable. We only know that where
as they did not whistle with approval,
now they do do; the prejudice of gem
erations gradually melts away And
woman's destiny is not linked with
that of the hen, nor to be controlled
by proverb-perhaps not by any
thing. g.-HarperS Magazine.

Didn't Spit on the Fuse.

A good story has been told of lisp
ing officer having been victimized by
brother officer-who was noted for his
cool deliberation and strong nerves
and of his getting square" with him
in the following manner: The cool
joker-Capt. Blackeney--was always
quizzing the lisping officer-a ieuten-
ant-for his nervousness, and said one
day at mess. "Why, nervousness is
all nonsense; tell you no brave man
is ever nervous"
"Well," inquired his isping friend,
show would you act thpothing thell
with an inth futhee thould drop ithelf
insa walled angle, in which you had
taken shelter from a company of tharp-
thooterth and were it wath thertain if
you put out your nothe you get pep
pered?"
"How?" said the captain, with look
at his brother-officers. "Why, take it
cody and spit on the fusee."
The party broke up and all retired.
The next morning number of soldiers
were assembled on parade, when along
came the isping lieutenant. Lazily
opening his eyes he remarked to a
cluster of officers: Il want to try an
ekthperiment thith morning and thee
how ektheedingly cool Tom Blakeney
can be-"
Saying this, he walked deliberately
into the captains quarters, where
fire was burning on the hearth, and
placed in its hottest part powder
canister and instantly retreated. There
was but one door of egrees from the
quarters and that opened on the pa
rade ground. The occupant gave one
look at the canister, comprehcnded the
situation, and in a moment made for
the door, but it was fastened on the
outside.
"Charley, let me out if you love mel"
shouted the captain.
"Thpit on the canither!" shouted he
in return.
Not moment was to be lost; the
captain had at first snatched up a
blanket to cover himself with; but
soon dropping it, he raised the win
dow, and out he bounded, sans every
thing but a very short undergarment,
and thus, with hair almost on end, he
dashed on to full parade-ground.
The shouts which hailed him brought
out the whole of the occupants of the
barracks to see what was the matter,
and the dignifed captain pulled SER
geant in front to hide himself.
why didn't you thpit on it?" in
quired the lieutenant.
because there was no sharpshoot-
ers in front to stop a retreat" an
swered the captain.
"All I've got to thay, then, ith,"
said the lieutenant, "that you might
thafely have done it, for thware there
walnut thingle grain of powder in
it."

A Fair Exchange.

In one of the big uptown boarding
houses they are talking about a GER
tain married lady who sat on her
hubby's knee the other night and strok-
ed his side whiskers so tenderly that
he blurted out:
"Wen, go ahead. What is itP A
new hat?"
30, no, you old darling. It's a sur
prise I've got in store for you"
"How much does it cost?"
80, who cares about the cost? It's
the sentiment of the thing"
'All right; let's have the sentiment.
swell, you see, you never wear those
neckties l give you every Christmas,
and it isn't fair that l should have al
the benefit and you none, so I've made
change this year and got you pail

"That's very kind"

to give me something in return, so

Arabia and the Horse.

By great many people Arabia is
supposed to be the home of the horse.
From ancient Roman, Grecian, and

that the horse was unknown in Arabia
long after he was a common factor in

REV. HI. p. NICHOLS

And His New Field of Labor In tho
West-Changes in tho Clergy.
Next Sunday. Rev. Harry P. Nichols,
assistant rector of Trinity parish, will
preach his farewell sermon and take his
formal leave of the congregation prior to
his departure for his new field of labor in
Minneapolis.
Wednesday evening reception will be
given him by DR.. and Mrs. HARDWOOD, to
which the parish is invited, with the resi-
dent Episcopal clergymen.
1t has been decided by the vestry that
hereafter there shall be two assistants to
DR.. HARDWOOD, as the growth of the parish
seems to warrant the employment of three
instead of two ministers. The number of
applications has as yet been small, but
the committee in charge are looking about
and several promising clergymen are al
ready thought of as possible candidates
for the positions.
The salary of DR.. HARDWOOD has been
and will continue to be $1,000. Mr..
Nichols received So, 500, which will be his
salary at Minneapolis, with gift of $500
to defray the expenses of his removal
thither. He will, however, be at the

Trinity next month. DR.. Bsardsley was

Do the Lower Animals Know How
to Play Games9
no noflx


Such is q question to which lady
writer in magazine has essayed to give
an answer, and certainly ono remarkable
instance which she quotes would seem to
show that birds in their wild state Ego
in for" organized romps just like chill
dren at Christmas party. Mr.. Andrew
Crosse, the distinguished naturalist, was
one day looking out of his study win
dow, in house on the Quantock hills.
From this window he could see into q
courtyard little distance away, which
was sheltered by walls and was remote
from any noises or disturbance of any
kind. By and by the naturalist saw a
robin engaged in dragging the apparent
ly dead body of another robin round and
round in a circle on the pavement. It
looked Just as if the live robin had fought
with and killed the other, and was in
dulging in the cruel triumph of pulling
the lifeless body of its rival over the
stones, as Achilles dragged Hector round
the walls of Troy. just as Mr.. Crosse
had come to the conclusion that the strange
proceeding of which he was privileged to
be the witness was the termination of a
battle to the death between two bird ene-
mics, the live robin suddenly stopped and
threw itself on its back as though stark
dead. Its wings were half distsndsd and
rigid, and its legs upturned to the sky.
Never, apparently, had there been robin
more dead than it WAS. Meanwhile the
other robin went through an exactly oon-
verse transformation scene. 1t had only
been shanming dead, and now woke up
into full and vigorous life. Selling on its
feathered companion, it dragged the latter
in its turn all round the same circle, and
repeated the process several times over.
The conclusion of the scene was that both
birds few off together to some neighbor-
ing trees. Now this story. related by the
widow of the eminent authority on natu-
raj history to whom We have referred,
might be set down as an exaggeration or
distortion of what really happened, only
that the observer was himself trained
scientific expert, not likely to let his eye
sight be interfered with by his imagina-
ton. The peculiarity of the incident lies
in the fact that the performers were wild
animals. They had not been trained to
play this game by any showman's devices,
but they had, out of the pure merriment
Of their own hearts and the liveliness of
their bird intellects, evolved game of

and oysters are nicely prepared at the ia

particularly enjoys cooking. A recipe-for
this, tried and approved, and the result
found without the suspicion of leather,
has been furnished for publication:
First toast carefully six squares of
bakers bread; butter while hot. Then
plunge quickly in bowl of hot water.
Have ready heated fiat dish; put the
toast on it and stand it over hot water.
Then make the rarebit Put two cups of
rich cheese, either grated or chopped, in a
small porcelain-lined saucepan. Add q
quarter of teaspoonful of bicarbonate of
soda. dissolved in water, and a dash of
cayenne. Then add two tablespoonfuls of
ale or milk, and stir on moderate fire un-
til the cheese is soft, not liquid. Do not
allow it to get to the boiling point or 1t
will eurdle. Take it from the FIRE and add
half teaspoonful of salt and the yolks of
two eggs. Put back over the fire to thick
en-; pour over the toa t and serve on hot
plates"

best must be made in small quantities
For twelve people it is good plan to lei
two of the party try their skill over sepa-
rate blvzers or gas stoves Here is a sec

Put a large teaspoonful of butter in

| in bits. Melt this over slow fire, and
add, Just as the cheese gets soft, a heater
egg, half teaspoonful of salt, a sprinkle
Of cayenne pepper, a level teaspoonful Of

milk. Stir till like thick cream, but avoid
over cooking after the cheese is once soft
ened and blended vita the other ingredi
ents. Pour over buttered and dampenei
hot toast on a hot platter, and serve OF
hot plates. Keeping the rarebit hot is

ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
There has been great deal of talk
about having memorial Of some kind in
honor of the late H. Lewis of New Haven.
In my suggestion would say massive
granite or stone arch in front Of the green.
Have it very large and about twenty or
twenty feet high, on Chapel and Tenn
pie streets. This arch would never need
painting and would last for many years;
would be seen by people who come to New
Haven from other cities and make the en-
trance to the green look more complete.
New Haven would make a mistake if it
should have this memorial on East Rock
park It is no benefit to the city to have
it on the rock, and it would be benefit to
have massive arch in front of the green,
which would be seen by hundreds of people
every day. A fountain would not last
long without painting, and there is foun-
tain in the green. If the public was in
formed that it would have that stone arch,
why, it would get together more than
81, 900 for the fund. New Haven should
be more enterprising. The late ex-mayor
was great benefit to New Haven, and
should have some kind of grand monu-
ment.
Hoping to see that arch in front of the
green, remain very truly yours,
BENJAMIN SILvERTHAU,
