eUMeLEsEEAND RUNNING BIRD
Tho Latter Wished TO Have All the
Honey to Itself.

The Latter Wished to Have All the
Honey to Itself.
An observer writes that he is satisfied
that there is just as much rivalry be-
tween humming birds and bees in their
quest for honey as there is between
members of the human rae in their
struggle for the good things Of life, and
describes n recent quarrel that he saw
in n Portland garden, where n humming
bird with an angry dash expressed its
disapproval of the presencs OF a big
humble bee in the same tree. The
usually pugnacious bee incontinently
fled, but he did not leave the tree. He
dashed back and forth among tn
branches and white blossoms, the hum
ming bird in close pursuit.
Where will you find another pair that
could dodge and dart equal to these?
They were like tirshes Of light, yet the
pursuer followed the track of the pur-
sued, turning when the bee turned. In
short, the bird and the bee controlled
the movements of their bodies more
quickly than he could control the move
ments of his eyes. The chase was all
over in half the time that it. has taken
20 tell it, but the excitement OF a pack
of hounds after n fox was no greater.
The bee escaped, the bird giving up the
chase and alighting on n twig. II
couldn't have been chasing the bee for
food, and there is no possible eXplana'
ton of its unprovoked attack except
hat it wished To have all the honey it,

THE UNLEARNED LESSON.

The house has silent grown, and all
Are wrapped in slumbcr's spell;
From out the distant bclfry sounds
The cians of midnight bell

On what tho day has brought;
Have employed the flecting hours
In kindly deed and thoughtY
Beside me, on the floor, Is thrown
A primer, soilcd and worn:
I take 1t UP and kiss the leaves
By baby fingers torn.
And yct-impatiently pushed
The child aside to-day.

In loving, watchful care,
Or deem a sacrifice too great

VASSAR GIRLS WIN APPLAUSE.
The Greek Play "AntigOne" Given Before q
Distinguished and Critical Audience.

PoUGHKEEPsIE. n. Y, May 26.-The
Greek play "Antigone" was gwen by the
students of Vassar College. before an
audience of two thousand people. at the
opera house. tbis city. this evening. Prep.
arations for it have been in progress
for months, and no pains or expense was
spared to make IL in every respect true to
its rendering In ancient Greece. The stage
the dress, the actions and gestures, and
the entire setting up. were studied with
the utmost care and everything throwing
any light on the ancient play was studied
that it might be as perfect as posi- BILE.
Greek professors from o score of colleges
were present to witness it and. taking 1t as
q whole. 1t was witnessed by probably the
most intellectual audience ever gathered
in o play house. Every word of the play
was in Greek.
The leading characters were assumed by
Helen Mildred Slade. Quincy. Mass; Anne
Van Syckel Pennington, N. j.; EmeIin
Bartlett. Providence. X. l.; Blanche ID.
Presbery. PIovidenee. r.; l.; Grace W.
dred o. Methes. Memphis. Tcnn.;
Frances T. Joliff, San Francisco;
Geneva Trion. Cam bridge Mass, and Mary
III. Macauley. Louisville. Ky. The acting
was superb. carrying the audience along
from the rising of the curtain to the close.
and drawing forth enthusiastic applause at
ell suitable points. The criticism of the
Greek sharps present was most hatterinR,
and established the Crock department OF
Vassar in the highest plane. At the close
Miss Leach. the Greek professor, was forced
to como before the curtain and receive tho
cheers of the audience.
