two tenors in fact. They had, by this
time, grown somewhat and had learned
to make certain unmodulated sounds in

expressing to their mother their iua-
olllty to comply with her entreaties to
come forth.
This evidently rendered her desperate

Al length she took long flight straight
down to the end of the garden, and / saw
her white wings flashing through the
avenue of fig trees, back and forth.
PRESENTLY she returned and again hung
1ondly over the cage for a while; then she
departed.
That afternoon my birds became mute
and droopy. All life seemed to have
gone out from their feathers. They hob
pied helplessly about the cage and re-
fused to eat. Their eyes blinked in a
weird fashion, and they gasped as though
their lungs were afflicted with severe
pneumonia. L was in despair about ever
getting them North.
They survived the night, however, and
for they were hung indoors during the
nlght-they were still painting in that
peculiar manner In order to revive
them L hung their cage out in the fresh
morning sunlight against an acacia tree,
and this was the fatal move.
In a jitfy, the mother bird was perched
on top of the cage, chattering more ear
nestly and vociterously than ever. But
they were now TOO weak to talk. In a
moment more she made another sally to
the loot OF the garden, and then return
ing she engaged in an interview with
them from the top of the cage.

hurriedly took down the cage and
looked within. The birds were both
writing in contortions, and evidently
at their last gasp. Their heads were
doubled back until they almost reached
their tails, so serious was the spinal
affection, their mouths were spread to
almost double the ordinary width, and
their legs tottered dIstressingly. First
one and then the other fell in helpless
1eathered heaps upon the floor OF the
cage-hterary and plainly poisoned to
death. Down i'll one corner of the cage
lay the remains of large black spider,
which had been half eaten. The negroes
were right And they asserted again and
again that lit am always so, honey.'
One remarkable thing was that the
mother bird, after having thrown them
the deadly spider, never again returned
to the spot.

MiserIes of the Would-Be Gay Dog
Whose wife's in the Country.
When man packs his family off to the
country he revels in his secret, wicked
soul over the thought that he is going to
have high old time, when he will make
sure that there are still cakes and ale and
that ginger is still hot i the mouth. This
delightful delusion lasts about three days,
according to the San Francisco Ar0onaltt,
or at most a week. He eats one or two
crack dinners, prepared by an accom-
plished chef; the result is a parched
throat, a headache and other premonitory
symptoms OF indigestion. He mingles in
the gay and festive throng of which he
was an ornament in his callow days; he
is astonished to find how empty-headed
the young men are and how stupid and
vulgar the women. Is it possible that he
ever enjoyed that sort of society? 1t
gradually breaks upon him that be has
outgrown the joys of the coulisses, and
that he can no more relish the rather lib
eraI Jokes of Aspasia than he can eat can
dies. He drifts into the club, where he
finds a lot of old fogies who say dull
things in dull way upon dull topics. He
flies headiong from fiend who wants to
discuss the tariff with him, and takes
refuge in his empty home, where he finds
that the single servant who had been left
in charge has drunk up sill the sherry and
forgotten to make his bed.

There is something so marvellous in the
way life is made agreeable to us in house,

our grandmothers had to take their duties
that one feels as If it We're really intended

OF spinning and weaving at home, of the
cheese making, the sausage-maki ing, the

that followed in such train and made the
housewives life long labor which have
been taken from the household and given
into the hands of associated labor outside
the gates-not TO speak OF these, in yet
other things has the way been made
smooth for us in almost miraculous man
ner, things of which we never dreamed
of complaining. There are the various
grains, for instance, that used to require
so many hours boiling, and then were
not especially palatable. Now they are
prepared in most appetizing fashion and

Then who does not know the conster-

heart set on some elegance, who saw COM

needing only two or three minutes on the
range. While as for the other canned
preparations. fruit and meats and vege-

the number of things to be canned, and

after all, this is the greatest application OF

His inaugural was not long and he delivered
It in a clear, strong voice. but notwi hstanding
that he was not heard by one -lundredth part
Of the crowd in front Of him. The last words

part OF the cheers were for him.
The sound o. marching feet, the blare Of trum-

great parade was coming up the avenue. Presi-

ponds on the Railway Co.
Certain Stipulations Made 10 N. Mango
by Colombian Government.
Among Agreements the Railway Co. Win
Make is one mat M teamship Co.
VIII be Given special Privileges
Over That of Any other.

PANAMA, March 5. notwithstanding
the statements of the Panama railway
representatives here and in New York
that Liquidator Mango has no author
ity to make any arrangements with the
Colombian government concerning the
management of the railway, the semi
official papers in Bogota declare that
NJ. Manages mission will be success
full. The question whether the canal
company will be granted a conces-
sion of another year depends upon
his obtaining certain assurances from
the Panama Railway Co. concerning
his future action, and the semi-official
papers express the opinion that these
assurances will be given. Among agree
ments which it is said the railway com
pany will make is one providing that in
future no traffic alliances Will be made
with transatlantic or other steamship
lines under which monopoly of traffic
to the isthmus would be created. In
other words, no steamship COM
pany shall be granted special priv
ileges over any other. On behalf
of the canal company, M Mango
will be required to stipulate that it's
share in the railway company Will not
be sold or hypothecated without first
obtaining the consent of the Colombian
government The material owned by
the Canal Co. is to be well preserved,
and no part of it is to be removed or
sold. Mango is apparently prepared to
comply with these and other equally
reasonable demands of the government,
including a satisfactory settlement of
the questions arising out of the transfer
of cars. His success in the negotiations
seems therefore to be assured
