HANGED THE INTRUDERS.
How Some Wise and Ingenious Wrens Got

How Some Wise and Ingenious Wrens Got
 Rid of the Inquisitive SparrOws.
 The Burlington Gazette tells this in- testing bird story, and has three men ready to sign any number of affidavits that it is true:
 At the end of Prof. Thomas big barn are number of bird houses for the use of the thousands of feathered songsters who keep the air alive in that locality. The place is close enough to the city to be infested with the pugnacious and hoggish English sparrow, and for some years the sparrows and the wrens have fought the season through for the pos session of the little houses. The wrenS, being the smallest, invariably came off second best in the encounter until this year, when the holes, or doors, were arranged so that a wren could get in, but sparrow's body could not pass through. Still the sparrows continued their annoyances by sticking their heads in the doors as far as possible and worrying the poor little wrens to a state of distraction. Finally the wrens decided upon a plan of action. They rigged up a horsehair moose directly inside the1r little houses in such a way that any intruding sparrow would stick his neck into it. As a consequence the men were surprised one day to find sparrow hanging by the neck from one of the houses, dead as country town on Sunday. He was cut down, and for few days the sparrows let the wrens rest undisturbed. Then another spar row became inquisitive, and before he knew it he too was dangling in the air, unable to save himself. These are the only two instances that came under the observation of the men, though others perhaps have happened.

A NOVEL PLAN.
How an English Inn Provided for Persons
 with a Cold in the Head.

How an English Inn Provided for Persons
 with a Cold in the Head.
 Nothing but travel, and extensive travel at that, will give person full idea of the queer ways that there are in the world. An American who was not long since journeying through the midland counties of England relates that in a small country town he once entered an inn, rather pretentious for the place, and called for turbot, a fa- vorite dish in those parts.
 The American had had few days of dense fog and his appearance and man. ner perhaps showed that he had be- come a little wheezy in consequence of the climate. He was forced to have frequent recourse to his pocket hand kerchief
 When the turbot was brought the guest fancied, even before it reached his plate, that it was no longer fresh, and an attempt to eat it confirmed that impression. He called the proprietor, who at once sent a waiter for fresh turbot and removed the objectionable dish.
 q beg your parding, sir, :" said the inn keeper, "but we got the idee, sir, as you came in, that you had bad cold in yer cad, sir
 And suppose I had? What would that have to do with my being served spoiled fish?' exclaimed the American, somewhat indignantly.
 ''Heverythink, sir. We has this rule in this 'ouse: Fish as is a leetle doubtful, like that ere, sir-them which has lost the savor of youth, as I may say-them we serves to parties as appears to ave colds in their 'eads, sir; and we finds that, bein' as such parties can't smell nothinl1. they likes the fish just as well, sir, and hOften they pre- fer 'emIn

A VANISHED PEOPLE.
How Did They Transport Mammoth Rocks
 to Build a Mysterious Cavern?

How Did They Transport Mammoth Rocks
 to Build a Mysterious Cavern?
 On the shores of Brittany there is mysterious relic of forgotten ages which escapes the notice of most trav- elers, says the Million.
 Far out in the Morbihan sea-across which legend tells us Arthur sailed with his knights in pursuit of the dragon-rises a little island. It can be reached in boat from the coast only in calm sea. A Breton shepherd has solitary hut upon it and feeds few sheep.
 Crossing the grassy slope off which they browse the traveller finds himself at the foot of hill, in the face of which has been excavated great tun- nel or cave, floored, walled and roofed by huge flat rocks.
 Some arch@ologists say that this cavern was the work of the worshipers of the serpent god or Hoa-a race that has passed into oblivion.
 The unlearned traveller knows only that the mysterious cavern antedates all history; that the rocks of which it is built came from the main land, a dis tance of more than one hundred miles inland. No rocks like them make any part of the geological formation of the island.
 Even with our modern engineering knowledge and machinery it would re- quire vast labor and skill to bring these enormous blocks of stone and place them so securely as to defy the wear and friction of ages.
 How were they brought here by men who had. perhaps, few mechanical ap- pliances-nothing but the strength of their bodies and their faith in a strange god?
 The race who built the temple are dust. Even their names ages ago per ished from the earth. Their religion is vanished. These stones are the monuments of their indomitable reso- lution. That defies the flight of years.

THE GROWN OF SCOTLAND.
It Is Supposed to Have Been Worn by
 Robert Bruce.

It Is Supposed to Have Been Worn by
 Robert Bruce.
 A once precious diaden, which is now only an historical relic of much interest, is the crown of the Scotch kings, kept in the castle of Edinburgh. It is supposed, says the St. Louis Re public, to have been made for Robert Bruce, and is formed of two circles of gold, the upper and narrower circlet being surmounted by row of crosses and gem-incrusted imitation flowers. The lower ring, the head band proper, is adorned from end to end of the golden band with large precious stones of different kinds, mostly in their rough, unpublished state. Above rise two arches of gold, which unite and are surmounted with the historic "cross and ball" Even when the Stuarts became kings of England they went to the trouble of going to Scot land to seat themselves for few mo- ments upon the celebrated ''stOne of Scone' and to have King Bruce's dia- dem pressed upon their royal heads. Charles l. declared his intention of re- moving Scotland's famous relic to Lon- don, so that such ceremonies could be carried out at home, but the sturdy Scots soon convinced him that such a proceeding would be an infringement upon their rights, so the king had to go to Edinburgh as others had done before. The wife of a preacher by the name of Granger once stole the e I Al. Il signia-this in 1CI2 or 1853. At the time of the restoration they were transferred to Charles II. They were returned to Edinburgh castle in 17O7, and have remained there ever since.

FUN FOR LITTLE LAPS.
Street Vendors Go About with Charcoal Stoves on Which Children Bake Cakes.

Street Vendors Go About with Charcoal
 Stoves on Which Children Bake Cakes.
 Japan has been frequently referred to as the ''Children's Paradise and with considerable justice, for in no other country is childhood made so much of, and are children surrounded by so many devices for their amuse- ment. h every town, according to Dr. w. D. Eastlake in the Popular Science Monthly, there are numbers of street vendors and hawkers whose sole GUS toners are children.
 One class of these vendors carry two charcoal stoves, or furnaces, swung in the conventional manner of the country from the ends of pole which rests across the shoulder. Arriving at con- venient corner, the load is put down, and group of eager children quickly gather. For the moderate sum of one or two rin the children are supplied with tiny cup of sWeetened batter and a spoon. Thus equipped, they proceed to bake their own cookies on the smooth iron top of the stoves, fash ioning the dainties into whatever shape they please, and, when they are crisp and brown, devouring them. The anne vender also devotes his skill to children. His ''stock in trade consists of dried reeds and quantity of midzu anne. sort of malt paste. Some of the anne is put on the end of a reed and is nodded or blown into some fantastic shape by the vender. The young GUS toner dictates as to the figure, and butterflies, flowers, gourds, or what not are shaped from the sweet paste. The children, after having satisfied their taste for artistic design, eat the finished work, the reed handle prevent ing their fingers from becoming sticky.
 There is another of the child amusers that can be seen in the streets of Tokio or any other Japanese city. This arti- san molds fruits, flowers and vege- tables from colored rice-fower dough, and does his work so deftly that it is really difficult to distinguish the artifi- cial from the real fruit.
 This universal love and regard for children is also displayed at every temple festival, where numerous booths, gay with toys, flags and games, form always prominent feature.

4 Stranro Lake in Africa.

Lake Assal, one of the finest salt lakes in the world, in the district of Obock, East Africa, only a few miles from the head of the Bay of Tadjouiah,
 has been bought by MT. Chefneux from the French government. All along the edge of the lake, which comprises only sixteen square miles, is bed of near ly pure salt about a foot in thickness. The water of the lake is so surcharged with salt that it is impossible to sink init. The bottom is apparently bed of solid salt. The heavy waters lave the base of jagged and precipitous mountains which descend to the edge of the lake, making it almost impossi- ble to travel around it. Mir. ChefneuX will probably carry on his work by floating machinery on the lake and dredging in the salt bed at it's bottom.

A MOB OF HIeH,BRED WOMEN,
DisgracefaI Scenes at the Queens Latest
 Reception.


 The disgraceful proceedings of rude and ill-conducted crowd, mainly composed of women, assembled at the queens drawing room, which ''is held for the purpose of enabling women of accredited positions to pay their re- epects to their sovereign, and presentto her their daughters or other ladies who have not thus made their formal entry into society" is described by the Ladies' Pictorial of London. It is req sonable to suppose that under such circumstances the conduct of the wom- en would be beyond reproach, but. on the contrary, it seems to be somewhat on the order of the crowd Gt the races, and the approach to the throne is con- verted into a scene of confusion and vulgarity. At the first drawing-room in May the gorgeously dressed guests apparently disregarded the fact that they were there by the queens invita- tion, and also the supposition that they were fit for the honor of reception by her majesty, and self-repose, good breeding and the common forms of po- liteness were entirely forgotten in their desire to be first. These same women would be shocked at the idea of mingling with work-a-day crowd trying to gain admittance to a public building, but here the models of cour- tesy, dignity and polite education push, iostle and elbow their way-really prod and strike each other in their frenzied eagerness to fight their way to the front. They lose all regard for appearances and consideration for others.
 The account furthe- says: ''Dia- monds, feathers and flowers strew the ground after one of these aristocratic melees, wells are torn, and refined features are distorted by heat and wild exertion. Court officials Cypress their opinions very hard, but no att tention is paid to this. The struggle goes on with the same desperate fury, and by the time these grandes danes appear before the queen they are hag- gard and almost untidy."
 On former occasions their disorderly conduct has not come directly to the queens notice, but finally the scufaing has reached the royal ear, and it is considered necessary to restrict the members admitted, in order to protect the royal family from their subjects, and avoid the actual presence of a cordon of police to keep the ladies from pelting each other with bouquets and tumbling headlong into the queens presence. So the edict has gone forth that hereafter there shall be only limited number received.

CONVERSATION WITH MONKEYS.
An old Frenchnan Who Was Up in the
 Language Of Apes.


 In 1857, says Prof Evans in the Pop ular Science Monthly, Jules Richard had occasion to visit sick friend in a hospital where he made the acquaint- ance of an old official of the institu- tion from the south of France who was exceedingly fond of animals, his love of them being equaled only by his hatred of priests. He claimed also to be perfectly familiar with the lan- guage of cats and dogs and to speak the language of apes even better than the apes themselves. Jules Richard received this statement with an in- credulous smile, whereupon the old man, whose pride was evidently touched by such skepticism. invited him to come the following morning to the geological garden. II met him at the appointed place, says MT. Richard, land we went together to the monkeys cage, where he leaned on the outer railing and began to utter a suc- cession of guttural sounds which al- phabetical signs are scarcely ade- quate to epresent-'Kirruu, kirrikie, kuruki, kiril1iu'-repeated with slight variations and differences of accentua- tion. In a few minutes the whole company of monkeys, a dozen in num- Der, assembled and sat in rows before him with their hands crossed in their laps or resting on their knees, laugh ing, gesticulating and answering" The conversation continued for full quarter of an hour, to the intense de- light of the monkeys, who took live ly part in it. As their interlocutor was about to go away they all became intensely excited, climbing up the bal ustrade and uttering cries of lamenta- tion. When he finally departed and disappeared more and more from their view they ran up to the top of the cage, and, clinging to the frieze, made motions as if they were bidding him good-by. It seemed, adds Mir. Rich ard, as though they wished to say: ''We are sorry to part and hope to meet again, and if you can't come, do drop us line!'
