The Value of a Little Thing.

In a little volume of lectures by Henry
Irving, just published, is a story which
illustrates the actors motto, "While
triaes make perfection perfection is no
trife." "This lesson was enjoined on
me when I was a very young man" he
says, "by that remarkable actress,
Charlotte Cushman. I remember that
when she played Meg Merrilies I was cast
for Henry Bertram. 1t was my duty to
give Meg Merrilies a piece of money,
and I did it after the traditional fashion
of handing her a large purse full Of coin
of the realm, in the shape of broken
crockery, which was generally used in
financial transactions on the stage. But
after the play Miss Cushman said to me:
Instead of giving me that purse, don't
you think it would have been much
more naturalif you had taken a number
of coins from your pocket and given me
the smallest? That is the way one gives
aims to a beggar, and it would have
added to the realism of the scene I
have never forgotten that lesson"

HE corrected treasury report re-
'duces the balance Of trade against
the United States for the last fiscal
year to only about $40, 600, 900.
1t was reported to be $50, 900, 900.
The error grew out Of the fact that
some OF the imports had been in
voiced On the deprecated paper Of
the countries from whence they
came. For instance, the coffee i'm
ported from Brazil cost the United
States in gold money millions less
than the value assigned to it in the
table of imports. The department
has issued Instructions requiring
importers hereafter to present in
voices'showing the gold value of
their imports.

Noah Left the Ark on April go.

Saturday, April 20, is the day marked
in all ancient calendars as being the one
or which Noah and his family quilted
the ark after having withstood the siege
of the great deluge. The day is marked

ish, as egressus Noae de area; the nth
Of March, the day upon which Noah, his
family and their great floating collec-
ton Of natural history specimens set

trance into the ark" Why these days

IHE first half year Of the calen-
>dar year has just passed and an
eyentful and tempestuous one it
was for the financial and business
community. One catastrophe has
followed another, and many more
jhaTe been narrowly averted. If
any one had ventured to predict
the financial and commercial diff
fculties which we have experienced
during the past six months, one
would unhesitatingly have said that
we could not possibly have gone
through them without more serious
and lasting injury, and without
really graver disasters than we have
encountered.

A SAVAGE CANARY.
Dine Of the Very Latest of Wild Stories
About Well Known Animals

One Of the Very Latest OF Wild Stories
About Well Known Animals.
So many stories have been told recently
Of battles between tigers and snakes,
wildcats and elephants, eagles and ALI
gators and Goldfish and wild hogs that
the following accurate description of an
encounter between a tomcat and a ca
nary bird cannot fail to be interesting:
The tomcat and the canary were the
property of az animal dealer on the west
side who has long had a reputation for
~'veracity. The canary was noted for it's
fierceness. It is a female bird about
3 years old with bright yellow feather
ing. The tomcat is quite white, with
four legs, and weighs-or rather weighed
about 70 pounds.
During the morning it was noticed
that the canary seemed unusually say
age. She paced up and down her cage
in a great rage, crashing her teeth and
glazing at the poor cat, toward whom it
turned out she had developed a fierce an.
tipathy.
The keeper secured the door of the
cage, as he thought, firmly, but during
a paroxysm Of temper the canary
smashed the fastening and was free.
What a moment! The unfortunate
tomcat gave a cry Of terror and looked
around for some means Of escape, but
there was none, the door of the room in
which the carnivorous animals were kept
being locked.
The proprietor Of the menagerie could
do nothing. Spellboupd he watched the
never contest, fearing all the time that
the fury Of the canary bird would be ex.
pended on himself.
With q piteous moan the wretched
tomcat felt the talons of the canary bird
sink into his head. He raised himself
and tried to fight her off, but the bird
parted his every blow and fiercely
pecked at his eyes.
Once the cat seized the bird in his
paw, but she got away from him in a
moment with the loss Of only one feather.
She returned to the charge and rendered
ont Of the cats eyes blind with her sharp
bill.
The fight had lasted five minutes, and
the cat had all the worst Of it. He was
painting, and every now and then rolled
over exhausted, uttering pitiful cries.
Though he was valued at 800, the keeper
Of the menagerie, who was armed with
a sword and a shotgun, did not dare to
interfere to save him. The blood of the
canary was up, and she meant to slay the
cat.
It vas not long before the awful work
was accomplished. The bird by an adroit
movement common to canaries when in
conflict with quadrupeds rendered the
poor Thomas cat quite blind. Then, at
her leisure, with a series of fierce jabs,
she penetrated his brain, and he rolled
over completely dead.
The boss was trembling for his own
safety, but it now seemed that the saw
age instincts of the canary had been sa-
tisfed, for with a jaunty air sheregained
her cage and began to MARBLE a song of
victory.
It meant life or death to shut the door,
but the brave boss crept courageously
up to the cage and succeeded in accom-
plishing this feat. Then he ran out into
the street and tainted. The nerve pres
sure had been too great for him.-New
York Herald.
