The Painted Bird Trick.

Briefly it is this: A boy dressed
rather shabbily walks along the street
holding something carefully concealed
in his hands He looks out for a we'll
dressed, innocent-looking old lady, and
then as he slowly passes her stoops down
and, addressing the mysterious things
he holds, says: Poor little one. I'll
take care of you. won't sell you to
those fellows" Two rough looking
men now walk up to the boy and say:
Look here; for the last timekweu give
you three dollars" But the boy shakes
his head. As the men drop back and,
when just abreast of the lady, they
whisper loud enough for her to hear:
ST tell you it's an AL singer and worth
FIVE dollars" The lady scents mys-
terry and perhaps a bargain. She stops
the boy, who explains that the canary
flew into his fathers house. that it
sings beautifully aud he would like to
keep it, but he is poor. times are bad
and II she'll promise to give it happy
home the kind lady can have it for
three dollars An exchange is eff
fected; the boy goes off with the three
dollars to a neighboring saloon, where
he meets the rough-looking men and
divides with them. The lady, takes
the bird home, puts it into cage and
gives it food and bath of water Next
day in place of a canary she finds a
very sick-looking sparrow with small
quantity of yellow paint still adber,ng
to its wings and body.-San Francisco

THE LIeHrnlNs's STROKE.
How Thunderbolts Affect Different varie-
ties of Trees.

How Thunderbolts Affect Different yarie-a
ties of Trees.
The traces left on trees that have
been struck by lightning vary with the
kind of tree, the age and location.
The season, too, that prevails plays
conspicuous part in this matter The
Italian poplar (Populus pyramidalis), is
most endangered by lightning The,
cause lies not so much; in its slender
shape as in the fact that it has very
much ramified set of roots. The pop
lar grows in the most fertile and.moist
portions of ground. The wood of the
poplar is therefore full of sap and
moisture, and the tree is splendid
lightning conductor. The tracks of
the lightning are found in the lower
parts of the poplar exclusively. With
out deviation one or more rents run
down the trunk of the tree to the
roots; the bark is torn off and the wood
exposed a distance of from six to
twelve inches; about half way down
the rent gap of about an inch is no.
ticeable, the edges of which are some.
what burned. The top of the tree is
unin jured; the branches show no rents,
but remain healthy, the leaves green.
Colladon, the famous French philoso-
pher, has made the effects of lightning
upon trees profound study. and in
one of his works he reports several in.
stances wherein the bolts passed by a
mum Der of taller trees other than the
poplar, striking the latter in its de.
scent to the ground. The highest
point iG, therefore, not always the one
most exposed to lightning, and oaly
when all other circumstances are
equally favorable does height cut any
figure. Next to the poplar the oak is
the tree most exposed to the effects of
lightning, but the marks left behind
differ greatly from those of the poplar.
AS in the other case there are con-
formities to the general law. Oaks
spread out at the top and the branches
shoot up vigorously to the highest
point While the top of the poplar
that has been struck by lightning re-
mains hale and keeps on gro wing, the
injured branch of the oak dies very
soon. The rent begins away up near
the top running to the ground, spiral
fashion, exposing the wood all the way
from ten to twelve inches, and often
more About the center of the course
appears gap about one half inch deep,
which runs parallel with the fibers OF
the tree.-Boston Transcript.

VANISHED DREAMS.

Beau.ifui stories, in shiclings Wild,
They told Of the fairies when as o child
How with feet like the foam-belis, 10 light and
fair,
They entered the dwellings, Of want and care;
And as morning dew melts on from the grass.
80 the cloud Of sorrow was sure to pass;
No blight on the crops which the fairies had
bleat
For day they brought giadness, for night they
brought rest
Oh heart Of my childhood. what vigfls vain
Were mine as I watched for the fairy train;
Hut the feet of the fairies came not nigh;
No glimpse Of their beautiful wings flashed by;
And the peasants said :. An, they know too
Where peace and giadness and riches dwelll
Wait-and II clouds darken over your sky,
Surely then will you see them nigh
Alas for the home OF our childhood days
n It's weed choked gardens, Its moss grown ways
heard them tell how, ono autumn night,
Over heather and moor flashed the weird corpse
Hight;
heard them whisper. 1.-THE fairies know
Der the homestead they love falls the shadow
Of woe;
The fire will be qucnched and the hearth be
lone,
Ere the winter has past, or the March winds
blown"
Tie fires are quenched, and the hearth is lone;
Dear names are carved on the gray headstone;
Only, think, in my heart remains 'a~
The echo Of clong-ago joys md pains;
The hslf-belieyediege have passed away;
Life grew too real-they could not stay.
The earth lights have faded-the night is drear:
Gut the stars OF heaven were never so clear!

VENETIAN LACE SCHOOLS.
An Industry Revived By the Quesn-Mu
seums OF Rare Old Laces.

An Industry Revived By the Queen-Mu-
seums OF Rare Old Laces.
The lace of Venice, like her glasses
and mosaics, Is traditional monument
to her ancient industrial greatness.
Venice is the earliest home of lace, and
from her hands it was introduced into
other countries. The first lace was
made by nuns within the walls Of con-
vents, for ecclesiastical garments With
the fall OF the Venetian republic the
converts were closed and this graceful
industry was lost for an entire century.
In 1870 the Princess Margherita, now
queen of Italy, determined to revive the
art and provide employment for Vene-
tian women struggling in the throes of
poverty. To her is due the credit of
the origin and endowment of the exist
ing schools These schools are subsi-
died by the Italian government and
are under the direct control of a com
pany of which the Chevalier Jesurum
is at the head. There are now seven
schools in full and active operation in
Venice and her surrounding islands,
The principal building juts up against
the time.colored walls Of San Marco
and from this picturesque spot, under
the very wing Of the cathedral, issue
some of the most exquisite patterns OF
lace that the world produces.
Yesterday walked through the va
rious rooms of this school and saw the
won en- absorbed in their tedious work.
They were of all ages and sizes, from
the soft-eyed girl of twelve to to the
gray-haired woman of sixty. Each sat
On a low stool and held plump. square
cushion in her lap On this cushion
was pinned strip of paper marked
with the pattern to be followed, and
into this pattern the nimble- fingered
worker sticks glass-headed pins and
twists her threads about them. From
twenty to fifty shuttles depended from
all sides of the cushion, and these were
thrown across the back with the rapid.
ity of typewriter handling the keys
of her machine. The pins were con-
stantly withdrawn and replaced as the
threads advanced along the pattern.
The process is SO simple that it looks
like play, but the lace produced repre-
sents thousands OF hard gold dollars.
