Pity Among Birds.

There is strong pity among birds,
and sometimes they are as charitable
as men. A pair OF robins had their
nest in fence near house, while q
pair of catbirds had built theirs in q
bush close by, The two pairs hatch
ed out their young at the same time,
and for awhile everything went along
smoothly. Then it was noticed that
the robins disappeared entirely, and
the conclusion was that they had been
killed. The young robins, dependent
on their parents for food, appeared to
be starving. and when the catblrds
came with worm or bit OF TODD for
their young the robins would thrust
up their heads and make a great noise.
Presently it was observed that the
catbirds were feeding the hungry or
phans, and every night while one, OF
the catbirds covered its own young,
its mate performed the same service
for the little robins. In this way both
broods we're reared, the robins grow
ing up as strong and lively as though
they had been cared for by their own
parents.

One of the greatest curiOsltles is

the earth is continually covered with

feet: it blooms on the third day, re-

then returns to its original elements
1t shines for a single day, then the
stem, leaves and flower are converted
into snow. The leaves are three in

it's petals about as long as the leaves,
and about half an inch wide. On the
third day the extremlties OF the leaves
show little glistening specks, like
diamonds, about the size OF the head
Of pin These are the seeds OF this
queer flower. On one occasion some
of these seeds were gathered and
hastily transported to St. Petersburg.
They were there placed in a bed OF

first of the following year, when the
snowfower burst forth and was great

"A Protest..

For many years strong protest has
been MADE to the Egyptian govern
ment by antjquarians and hosts of
other interested people the world over
against the continued housing OF the
priceless government collection of
Egyptian antiquities in the old wooden
antiquiti at Ghizeh. The collection
comprises the choicest of all the relics
that have been discovered in Egypt.
1t is and has been for many years eX-
posed to the greatest possible danger
from fire. The government has hith-
erto declined to remedy the matter.
but few days ago the council OF
ministers agreed to the appropriation
of $3.50, 900 for the building of a new

own nandlWOrE,
but it was something more than the
mere beauty of his models face that
caused his heart to beat 50 rapturoua- }
". Oh, how he loved her, but She,
poor girl, sitting so YEARLY in a dis
tant corner, did not dream of what
was passing in his mind.
Suddenly he turned his eyes in her
direction and look of establishment
crossed his handsome face. Could it
be possible that those were the feat
ures which he had 50 cleverly por-
trayed upon the canvas?
There were flashes of fire in, the
sweet blue eyes now and the delihate
mouth was curved in an expression of
bitterness that he had mover seen be-
fore. He was amazed at the sudden
revelation, for in all his weeks upon
the picture he had never seen that
strangely bitter expression upon her
Iace before.
He crossed the room and spoke to her
pleasantly, even tenderly, and was in
tensely relieved to see the bitterness
partially disappear before the tender
ness of his manner.
"You are very tired, Violetta," he
said gently, land 1 am very sorry!
But the picture is beautiful! Elk
quisite"
With a sudden movement Violetta
sprang from her chair and ran hastily
across the floor. "He loves his pic
ture but not me-" she muttered as
she left the room, Fool that am to
think that he would care for me! He
is bound body and soul to his art.
What is the pretty face of a woman to
him out a model for his wonderful
creations?"
After she had gone, Lawrence Mer-
edith stood a moment in thought,
then lighted cigar and drew the
chair before the easel. He was an
honorable fellow and he knew he was
too poor to marry. He determined at
once that he would never speak one
word of love to Violetta until he was
fully able to lead her to the altar and
give her, at least, comfortable home.
He felt that she was learning to love
him, and although it was hard to see
her daily and not speak of what was
in his heart, he was, in a measure,
content.when he thought Of the bliss
that would shortly come to reward
him for his hours Of self-denial.
For he had decided from the first
that this picture of Violetta should
bring him fame and fortune. He
would not sell it, of course, but the
picture should be sent to the National
academy's exhibition, and if it was a
success, the orders that he would re-
ceive would start him in a lucrative
profession. Now that the picture
was finished, he was almost happy.
1t was only that momentary express
sion upon his models face that
brought shadow to his own. What
could it mean? Was Violetta I'M
happy? Had she any tormenting Sc
sret, or was it the pain of parting
with him that had distorted her face
with such sudden bitterness?
Then it occurred to him that he had
not even babe her good night and
this was the last of her daily sittings.
