A Toast from Hawthorn.

Hawthorn, the novelist, was silent among
strangers through shyness. Once, after
having replied to toast at public dinner,
he said "As rose, tapped upon my mind.
and it sounded hollow. 1t was quite empty.
There wa, nothing in it whatsoever"

A Dance without . Smile.

They have a singular kind Of dance
conducted on the greens of country vii
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, a knot of young men here, a knot
of maidens there, each sex by itself, and
silent as a crowd of mutes. A piper
breaks into "a tune, a youth pulls off his
cap and challenges his girl with a wave
and a bow. If the girl is willing, she
her handkerchief in token of as
sent. The youth advances. takes a cor
ner of the handkerchief in his hand and
leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids the girl ove heavily by herself,
going round and round, and never al
lowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and the
prize of merit in this '.circling," as the
dance is called. is given by spectators to
the lassie who in all that summer revelry
has never spoken and never smiled

This bird was imported from China by
o. N. Denny some eight years ago. Six
pair were let loose on Peterson butte.
about four miles from Sodaville, Or,
and the climatical conditions and q
try being favorable and being protected
by a strict law for six years they have
multiplied rapidly and now are u of
our most common game birds. In fact,
they multiplied SO rapidly that long be-
fore the six years protection had ceased
the farmers complained bitterly that the
birds were a serious damage to their
grain and gardens, and many birds
were killed, but in this ! think they were
mistaken, for in my examination OF many
stomachs at all seasons of the year
found but very little grain as their food.
but many wild seeds, bugs, graashop-
psfs, etc.
think that the farmers have realized
this also to some extent, q nearly all
have now posted trespass notices for theil
protection. Science.

II Was All Love.

A writer for the Boston Transcript
was the witness the other day of d very
pretty scene on d street al There was
an old negro wonlan-a very black old
woman-whose face, besides being black,
was pockmarkai. No doubt a superb
cial observer would have called her re-
pulsive, but there was "a sweet and kind
" look in her eyes and a benevolent ex-
preston about her black features which.
Il, YOU looked at her, gave you "A glimpse
of something beautiful.
At her side. with his sweet child face
toward the window. knelt "a little white
boy-a handsomely dressed little chap
with blond curls and blue eyes. He
asked the old black woman questions
now and then, which she answered with
a deep, grave kind voice, and she called
the little fellow ''honey."
Presently this little Caucasian leaned
over tenderly toward the old woman,
put his arm lovingly around her neck
and laid his pink and white cheek against
her black face. That obliterated every
bit of responsiveness the woman might
have had with every person of sentiment
in that car. To this little boy the old
black face was entirely beautiful, be.
cause it was all love. The beauty that
he saw wa q good deal more than skin
deem.

He Is Merely n Zig Cat. After All. and .
coward nt Heart.
If we quit heraldry for fact and go by
the testimony of travellers and hunters,
it is very doubtful whether the lion de-
serves his magnificent reputation. It is
his appearance. no doubt. which has
gained for him the %appellation of liking
of beasts" with all the regal honor per-
tanning to it. Certainly he looks every
inch a king" Nothing can be finer. The
fancy itself could conceive nothing more
ittingly representative of majesty than
the full grown male lion, gazing with
great yellow eyes, which seem to know
no fear, and the ample honors of his
shaggy name wrapped round his massive
front and forearms. He looks like the
embodiment by nature of loneliness and
magnanimity, and he has been adopted
as such in all literature and poetry from
Homer and Eschylus down to the Lion
comique'' of our music halls. Yet he is
only a cat-a great cat-after all, and
those who know him in his native wilds
give a very different character of ''felis
leo" from popular conceptions.
We do not wish to calumniate a crea-
ture SO intimately connected with Brit
ish story and SO digniied in bearing and
behavior, for nobody a deny that the
lion is a great gentleman ill his
Nevertheless. African sportsmen relate
that he can show himself as cowardly rs
he is cruel; that he will abandon his
consort and cubs in a moment of ex-
IRENE danger, and that he scarcely ever
charges straight home upon anybody
who, armed or unarmed, has the pres
ence OF mind to await his onset. He is
described as very nervous and very cum
ming, and dreading beyond everything
the superior prowess of the white man.
The early Dutch settlers at the cape
speak of lions prowling round the fort
at night lin such numbers as though
they would take it by storm" Now one
must go very far into the African
'.veldt'' to see a lion, and a strange fact
is that he has learned the craft of silence
and is seldom or never heard to lift up
his mighty voice except in the far wilder
| ness, where the hunters have not come
| except singly. Thus it is written in an
African guidebook: Though his foot.

plenishing his larder depend, or, wors'
still, of betraying his position to his in
veterate enemy and prosecutor. man.

CHANGING PiANlSTS.
An Incidental Performance That Proved

An Incidental performance That tToVes
Interesting.
AS interesting rs anything I've seen
in this town." al | "a visitor to the city,
''was "a change of pianists that l saw III

the stage singing a song, and the pianist
was playing the accompaniment. l nap
pened TO see the pianist glancing to the
left once. and l looked in that direction
myself and saw coming down h aisle "a
mar that l judged must be the relief pi-
anist. and 60 he was. l imagined that
he would sit down for a moment and
wait, but, dear me, l was very slow.
HE was approaching the piano at tho
bass end Of the keyboard. When he had
almost reached the corner of the piano.
the man who was playing began gently
sliding off the seat to the right, still
playing. BY this time the relief was
abreast Of the bass keys, and these the
first player, who was still sliding stead
lily to the right. now relinquished to him.
and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily to the right.
struck in in perfect time and tune.
There was y brief time. a second or
two. when both men were playing-the
retiring pianist the treble and the on
coming player the bass-and for a frac-
ton Of q second they were both stand
ing. But now the new player is fairly
opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat, and now it Is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole niano resouuds to his resOlute
touch.
I'm fact, there never was q minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never was . minute
when the men were not completely mas
tiers of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief ap-
preached until he was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con.
tinuously in motion, but the change was
made without a jar or a slur in the mu.
sic and without the omission of a note
