Those are Chinese strawberry finches.

color comes from feeding him cayenne

feed one on red, white and blue food, so
that she could have a patriotic bird.

Trrom the pbiladalDbia prass

Wilkes Barre, Dec. 2O.-Mrs Michael
Dunsavage, of Jeanesville, near Hazeton,
attended court in this city to-day and was
a witness in an assault and battery case.
The woman brought her S-months-old
baby with her, although it was very sick
with Group. While she was waiting to be
called this morning the child rapidly grew
worse, and about IL o'clock died in its
mothers arms.
She refused to leave the court room
with the dead body and insisted on sit
ting until she was called. A tipstaff
tried to induce her to go out quietly with
out disturbing the court. While he was
talking to her she was called to the stand
and responded, was sworn and gave her
evidence with her dead child in her arms
AT the afternoon session the woman
again entered the court, still holding the
dead child and insisted upon staying until
the case was ended and she got her wit
ness fee. Late this afternoon she re-
turned home, taking the dead child with

David Beck, the celebrated portrait painter
and pupil Of Vandyke, travelling through Ger.

pearances died and was laid out a corpse.
says Salas Journal His servants, sitting
rOuud the bed grieved heartily for the loss OF
so good master, and, grief Is thirsty,
then addressed his companions thus: Our
master whed alive was fond of his glass: let
US now, out OF gratitude, then, give him one
now he is dead Assent was given, the head
OF the dead painter was raised up and some
wine poured down or split about, the frag-
rance or spirit OF which caused Beck to open
his eyes, upon which the servant. who, being
drunk, half forgetting his master was dead
forced down the remainder Of the glass. The
painter gradually revived, and thus escaped a
living tnterment.

Methods Of Rural Pedagogues of Gencr
alton Ago.

atiou n go
School discipline was maintained a
generation ago mainly by coercion.
The rural pedagogue piled the switch
mercilesslv Ferules were in constant
| use in the school-room. There were
| many barbarous punishments-
One OF these savage nartinets in New
| Jersey, devised collar and halter for
lifting big boys off their feet, and
| nearly strangling them. He also
strung up small boys by the thumbs
| until they were blue IN the face. One
day he put a demure. modest girl to
shame for the trivial offense of whis-
pering. He called her to the pla form.
and ordered all the boys to file by and
kiss her
A few lads. giggling as they went
forward, kissed the poor girl who was
blushing scarlet from modification.
Then champion appeared in her de-
fence. A tall, resolute boy, instead Of
following orders and increasing her
modification, made a dash for the
desk, and assaulted the teacher A
pitched battle ensued in. which the
teacher was defeated. His prestige
suffered from this reverse. he had to
abandoned the field.
The natural effect of brutality was
the conversion of country schools into
breeding places for DULLES. Boys who
were fiogged for small misdemeanors
and tortured for mischievous pranks
grew upwith hard, resentful natures.
An old-time schoollnaster IN PennsTl
vania was a man of different stamp
He had been carpenter in his youth,
with taste for books, and had finally
settled down as teacher of the village
school.
He never punished boy or girl He
succeeded in keeping his pupils inter
ested in their work. There was per-
feet order in his school, and apparently
no discipline. He was known to be an
abolitiopist, who had frequently con-
cealed runaway negroes in the garnet
of his school. Sometimes denounced
by village politicians as fanatic, he
was ordinarily laughed at as an &C.
centric schoolmaster without a rod.
But his boys never challenged his au-
thority, They learned little Latin
and Greek, and good deal about duty,
honor and justice.
The old mans eyes used TO blaze
beneath his wig when he spoke of the
need of courageous, honest men in pub
lie life.
Two of his boys never forgot his
burning words. One was general in
the civil war, and a political leader of
commanding influence. The other was
conspicuous for integrity at period of
low public morality.
Thackeray once Said that it was bet
ter for a boy to have the middle place
in the. form and "a good thrashing now
and then than to be the cock Of the
school. His idea was that conceit ought
to be knocked out of boys. But brutal
ity lis not good training. 1t hardens
the heart and paralyzes sensibility.-

The high-rolling, white-capped pillows

count of its color. which might have
won for it the more appropriate name
of Golden river or River of Chocolate,
but because he had wrested quantities
of silver from the Indians who swarmcd
its banks, and naturally imagined that
an abundance of precious metal re-
manned in the vicinity. In point of
fact the terms Argentina and Rio de Ia
Plata (both meaning the same thing
with reference to silver are misno-

cious or otherwise, are found along the
banks of the mighty stream or any

FISH ALIVE IN BOILING WATER.
A Nevada Species which Died On BslnE
Put Iato . Cold Fluid.

Put Into = Cold Fluid.
One of the most remarkable discov-
cries in the shape OF peculiar species
of fish ever made on this continent was
that made at Carson City, New. in 1875.
At that time both the Hale & Norcross
and the Savage mines were down to
what is known as the 80, 200-foot
level" When at that depth subter-
ranean lake of boiling water was
tapped The accident flooded both
mines to the depth of 400 feet. After
the water had all been pumped out ex-
cept that which had gathered in basins
and in the inaccessible portions of the
works, and when the water still had a
temperature of 1913 degrees-nearly
scalding hot-many queer-looking lit
tie blood-red fish were taken out. In
appearance they resembled goldfish.
They seemed lively and sportive
enough when they were in their native
element - boiling water - notwith
standing the fact that they did not
even have documentary eyes. When
the fish were taken out of the hot
water and put into buckets of cold
water for the purpose of being trans
ported to the surface, they died as
quickly as perch or bass would il

was scalding hot: not only this, but
