BIRD SONG.
By IL the Feathered Race Depicts Low
and Passion.

By IL the Feathered Race Depicts Love
and Passion.
The gift of bird song is largely a mas
cullne prerOgative, an expression OF
tender sentiment by which the affec-
ton of the opposite sex may be attract
ed and retained. Indeed the birds fur
nish no exception to the sweeping as
sertion that '''tis love that gives the
key to all earth's music" They sing
from love and happiness, says one:
from love and rivalry, another asserts;
while JOY and buoyancy of spirits are
sad by third authority to be answer
able for their music. That most of the
species sing best in the spring is we'll
known. the motive that is responsible
for the general outpour of song being
result Of it's influences; they are hap
Ply to be at home again in the old
haunts, to be surrounded by plenty and
TO feel the matchless sweetness of re-
turning springtime
One OF the most delightful of our
American essayists believes all birds to
Ie lnclplent or would-be songsters then
that even the hen has homely. con-
tented carol-and he credits the owl
with desire to fill the night with
music. The light of love within the
little birds heart is brightest at that
season and overfows and illumines bis
song. The language of passion keeps
time to the hearts rhythm until the
full beauty of the flower of love is
reached in the thousands of beautiful
homes about us.

DIPLOMATS AND LITERATEURs

Noted Americans Who Have Served In
Both Capacities.
1t is singular that most of our popular
foreign ministers have been literary
men. Washington Irving, says the New
York Herald, did famous work in Spain,
and Bayard Taylor was the most popu-
lar American minister Germany ever
had. W. d. Howells got his literary
start when he was consul to Venice, and
Julian Hawthorne wrote some of his
best works when he had consular po-
sition in England. Elihu B. Washburne
kept diary while he was minister to
Paris, and his story of the siege of that
city during the Franco-Prussian war is
the most interesting book which has
been published on the subject. Joel
Benton, the author, of the ''Columbiad,"
was minister to Russia, and Sam Cox's
Conversions of a Diplomat is one of the
best books published on Turkey. Sew
eral Of our foreign ministers are now
engaged in the preparation of books
about the countries with which they
have been connected. Andrew Curtin.
who was minister to Russia, will have
an interesting chapter or two concern
ing his experiences there in his mem
oirs, which he is writing at Belle
fonte, Pa, and Gen. DENLY, who for
the last eight years has been minister
to Pekin, has the material for an excel
lent book on China and the Chinese.
Jacob Childs, OF Missouri, who was min
lister to Siam under Cleveland, has a
book on that country in the course of
preparation. By all odds the best book
ever published on China was that of
Wells Williams, who went to that coun-
try as missionary, but was connected
with our diplomatic service for years.
