Of clay tablets. Not that the knowl-

in which there We're already temples

STORY OF BIRD LlEz.

Two Tame Pigeons Who Would Answer
to Their Owners Whistle.
Some years ago my father had pair
of common white pigeons. They were
very tame, and became very much at
tached to him; so much so that they
were almost his constant companions,
accompanying him in bis walks, or
when out driving. They would answer
his whistle lik- a dog, and would
alight on his pr 'ffered hand, or enter
his pocket if ooened for them. A
skeptical friend thought they would
show the same familiarity to any other
person, and, to give them a fair trial,
he procured suit of clothes of the
same color as that which ~ father
wore. Arrayed in his disguise, our
skeptical friend. initiating my fathers
whistle as nearly as POSSIBLE, whistlod
to the pigeons. Immediatelr they left
their perch on the housetop and few
down to the hand held out to re.
ceive tn m; but when they
came within a few wards of it, thev
suddenly check ID themselves, huttered

our friend, and then few back to the
house-top. This was conclusive evil
dence. But sad accident happened.
One morning one of the pigeons was
found u ON the highroad dead, its
body bearing marks of Injury, but
from what cause we never knew. We
carried the dead body home and buried
1t in quiet and sunny spot in the
garden. For three days the surviving
pigeon, with untiring energy, searched
the country far and near for its mate,
but in vain 1t refused to touch food,
and even the influence which my
father usually exercised over it was
gone. On the third day we found it
dead in the dovecot, its little heart
broken with grief by the loss, Of it's
lifelong companion. We buried it
beside its mate. Since then my father
has never kept pets.

MADE THE JUDGE LISTEN.

Joseph ChOate's Emphatic but Re-
spectful Way of Securing Atten.
ton.
Judge Van Brunt Of New York has
habit which sorely distresses members
of the bar who appear before him,
particularly young men, of talking tt
his associates on the bench while the
lawyers are delivering their speeches.
at times this becomes exasperating, but
according to the Tribune, the lawyers
have not as rule the temerity to COM
plain, Tor they recognize the power of
the court, and Judge Van Brunt, with
all his eshmable qualities, has manner
causing him to be held in dread by
most practitioners, who naturally seek
to maintain as pleasant relations as
possible with the court. Mr.. Choate
was about to make the closing speech
in a highly important case recently.
Forty minutes had been allotted him
for the purpose. He had scarcely ut
tered dozen Words when Judge Van
Brunt wheeled around In his chair, and
began discussion with Judge Andrews.
Mr.. Choate ceased speaking Immediate
~, folded his al ms and gazed steadily
at the judges, his handsome face q
trife paler than usual. A hush fell
upon the courtroom. Judge Van Brunt,
noticing the stiffness, turned around
and looked inQuiringly at the silent
advocate.
''Your honor" said Mr.. Chcate, II
have just forty minutes in which to
make my final argument. I shall not
only need every second Of that time to
do 1t Justice, but shall also need your
undivided attention"
"And you shall have it." promptly
responded the Judge, at the same time
acknowledging the Justice Of the re-
buke by faint flesh on his cheeks.
It was an exhibition OF genuine cour-
age, but one that was more fully appre-
ciated By members Of the profession
than BY the laYmen who witnessed
it.
