A HIGHLY INGENIOUS SYSTEM.

When the sparrows are to be shipped,
all openings in the building are closed and
the perches are removed. The birds are
then driven TO one end and through a sort
of chute the narrow extremity of which
enters the door of a cage. They are
counted in the cages before being sent off.
In this manner they are transported for
long distances. The loss by death is
about 3 per cent. While confined after
being trapped they are fed and watered
once a day literally. The food given is
cornmeal. wheat and soaked stale bread.
The floor of the building is covered with
sand w. T. Hill, the professional trap
per referred to- states that there is no
difficulty whatever in capturing the spar
rows by his method. In fact, any child
can practice it with success.
Were the system employed not highly
ingenious, however it could not succeed.
To those who see thousands of sparrows
daily perching familiarly on their window
stills or hopping uuconcernedly about the
streets, it seems an easy thing to kill
them by scores or hundreds. Many peo-
pie believe that a wide-awake boy could
trap 1000 a day, and that any man who
should give his entire time to the business
could make a fortune selling the birds at
the rate of l cent each. But as matter
of fact, this little feathered creature is

difficult of all birds to kill. A single

1t is generally imagined that cats destroy
many sparrows. The truth is that they
very rarely catch one.
CENTURIES OF EXPERIENCE.
These birds are very sociable. When
they go 10 roost, as most people have no

Attractive little work baskets seen at
the exchanges look as if they dated
back a hundred years or more. They
are made Of a rectangular piece of
cardboard at the bottom. Two long
narrow pieces for the sides join the
shorter pieces used for the ends, all
cut so that they flare sharply at the
top. Each piece is covered On both
sides either with China silk or cretOnne,
and the pieces are neatly overhanded to-
gether. with a silk or cotton that
matches the ground color Of the cover

also covered, is used for a handle. In
side the baskets are little shirred peck

pattern is used for the covering. Per

An Experiment in Air Navigation.
Preparations are being made in Paris
for Il balloon experiment. the success
Of which would mark a distinct advance
in air navigation. NJ. de Savine intends
to start in the car of a balloon from the
Champ de Mars, and is confident of be.
ing able to reach Russia in a few days
without his balloon having descended.
If this attempt succeeds, it may be pos
sible with the apparatus NJ. de Scvine
has invented to undertake the cxnlora-
ton Of the polar and other unknown
regions, which till now have been mac
cessible. NJ. de Savine recognizes that
motive power is at present powerlcss
to overcome atmospheric currents, but
he thinks he has solved the problem Of
utilizing these currents, which at va1i-
GUS heights are so different and numer-
Gus. An ordinary gas balloon, coupled
underneath to q Montgolfer, will be
used. The balloon will contain 5000
cubic meters Of gas, and is to be strong
enough to carry the whole weight of
the apparatus required.

CHAPTER VII.

1t all seemed so strange to Alan
Branston. He had seen a hundred fair
women, with love in their eyes and on
him. He had seen court beauties, the
fair women of great cities-nor one had
lived in his heart. But this girl had
looked with the sweet tender eyes Of a
child into his own, and his soul had
she stood apart from the whole world
to him. Whatever might happen
through his fancy, the one great love
Of his life was for her, and no other
should have it.
He waited patiently until she came
down into the drawing-room. No mat
ter what Lady Rosedene said, he should
take her in to dinner and sit by her
side. He felt already an impatient kind
Of jealousy lest any n should be be-
fore him. He stood near the door so
that he should be able to join her at
once.
The door opened and she came in
lovely, golden bright, and like a rose,
so fair, SO dainty. And as she drew
lear she gave him n Of the most coy
glances that ever made a mans heart
beat-one of the most delicious smiles
that eve thrilled a mans heart. There
was an attraction, a something, that
drew them together; neither knew what
it was, neither understood it, save that
it was sweeter and stronger than they
had imagined anything in life to be.
Lady Rosedene gratifed the desire of
his heart. She asked him to take Miss
Vane into dinner. Neither Of them saw
the corridors or the doors. They sat at
the sumptuously-spread dinner-table, al
most without an idea of what was on
it. The whole world was glorifed to
them. They ate ambrosia from golden
plates; they slipped nectar from golden
cups.
Long before the dinner was over Alan
Branston had lost himself in the light
of Hyacinth's eyes. More than n
present smiled to see how completely
they had forgotten the world in each
other. Some sighed as they smiled, for
the golden hours of youth and love fly
so quickly. 1t was pretty to see. He
was so handsome, so gallant, so brave,
with a careless laugh, a happy smile, in
his dark eyes; he had a rich ringing
voice, a chivalrous easy manner. He
was the beau ideal of a lover-ardent,
poetical, pleasant in every word and
look, with a lordly protecting air that
was irresistible. She was so dainty in
color and shape, SO perfect in her fresh
girlish loneliness, that she looked more
like one of the sweet flowers she was
named after than anything else.

CHAPTER vi.

Most of the guests We're assembled in
The breakfast room when Hyacintb
Vane went down, wild, sweet music
rising from her heart to her lips il,
snatches of Song. 1t was a morning
to make even the cid feel young, and
the young delirious with their own
youth and happiness. AS she cnter,d
the room, Lady kcsedene looked up
With a smile.
II have news that will please YOU.

people are strangers to you. Elms-

OF France. The old squire was q
wealthy man, and he has left the whole
of bis fortune IT, Alan Branston.'
Hyacinth repeated the name to her.
SELF The sound of It pleased her.
There were music and freshness in it
something that seemed to stir her heart
and soul. Lady Rosedene went on:
You have heard Of the old squire,
of course, Miss Vane?"
II. have heard him spoken Of" she
replied. MY father saw him once,
many years ago; since then the Grange
has been desolate and solitary"

Iady Re sedene. "Alan Branston takes

Our Coats are Descended From the
TOga.

Our Coats are Descended From In
TOga.
AS the tunic came to be worn tight
and close-ftting, an important change
occurred in its general cut. 1t is hard
to get into a tight tunic, unless it be
very elastic, harder yet to struggle out
of it. TO facilitate these processes 1t
has always been necessary, when the
tunic was high in the neck, to cut it
open for a little way down the front,
and to fasten together the opening thus
made with buttons. But when tunics
came to be worn very tight, about time
of the Renaissance, the opening was ex-
tended to the very bottom Of the tunic.
After a while it became the fashion to
leave the tight outer tunic altogether
unbuttoned, except in cold weather.
Thus the garment which had been worn
from the very earliest times, and called
by q hundred different names, such az
chiffon, tunica, cote, without any
change Of general character, suffered
its first essential modification, and be-
came a modern coat. The same gar
ment when short is the jacket, when
short and sleeveless the waiscoat.-

1 was in Barclay street the other day
when a big, suspicious looking man
touched my elbow and asked me to step
aside for a moment, says the Detroit

looked all around to see Of there was a
policeman in sight, and then whispered:
please don't give me away. / am an
unfortunate mar and have been driven

He held out a pair Of eyeglasses,
which looked to be worth 81 or IS, and
continued:

M BETTER THAN A
CLUB.

New York Policemen Have Adopted
Drunks.
Ever since the New York police com
missioners issued the edict against
members of the finest" carrying their
locusts during the day the patrolmcll
in the downtown precincts have been
trying to find something with which to
take the place of the club when it was
found necessary to recall sleeping
"drunks'' from the land of dreams to
the stern realities of existence. Form
erly, says the Evening World, a free ap-
plication of the club to the soles of the
~sleeper's feet had the desired effect.
Denied that method of rousing the dor
mant powers of. locomotion in the sod
den gentry it was often necessary to
spend the greater part Of an hour per-
suading an individual to HE himself
away. But it was not long before the
inventive genius of an Oak street sta
ton patrolman made the way all
smooth and beautiful one more. Now
a 5-cent rubber ball has taken the place
of the eighteen-inch stick. Apparently
harmless as this little toy looks to the
uninitiated, it's efficacy as a bum" &C
c%elerator far exceeds a whole bundle of
night sticks. 1t isn't the rubber ball,
but its contents that does the business.
Every patrolman in the Fourth ward
now fills a rubber ball with household
ammonia when he starts out in the
morning. A gentle pressure Of the
thumb and finger projects a fine stream
of fluid lightning from the small hole
in the hollow sphere a distance of sew
eral feet. This tiny stream brought to
bear upon a ~"sleeper's" mustache has
never yet failed to bring about an i'm
mediate revivifying Of the subject, no
matter how inert the bundle of bum
appeared to be a moment previous.

You could have no prettier dress
than this, Miss Vane,' she said; 1.-The
blue Is very pale, and the white lace
looks rich and elegant"
So Hyacinth sat with sweet, dreamy
eyes, while Hortense brushed out the
golden waves Of hair, and arranged the
pretty dress. She looked like some
beautiful picture from a frame, with
her fower-like face-a lovely smile part
ing the fresh lips-her white neck and
bare rounded arms, so fair, so tender
with all the halo of youth around her,
the first faint dawning Of love giving
to her a beauty that nothing else on
earth could give.
