White as a Light Carrier.

The carrying power" of white in
sunlight is illustrated by the gulls that
sweep and cry above the North and
East Rivers. When their breasts are
turned toward the sun they can readily
be seen as moving spots of white
mile away, but directly that they shift
position, SO as to present their brown
or gray backs to the sun, they dis
appear as completely as candle fame
under the extinguisher. San Fran

A Little Song.

A little cot in a little spot
With little heaven has sent;
A little way from that cot each day;
A song to sing and a word to say
A little winter, little May,
And a heart content-content!
A little wife and a little life
In love and duty spent;
song and sigh as the years go by;
grave, perhaps where the violets lie;
But heaven on earth and heaven on high,
And heart content-content!

DON'T YOU KNOW.
II wishes grew on trees,
With every little breeze
They would come tumbling down
Don't you know.
If all the pollywogs
We're hopping, happy frogs
They'd have glorious time
Don't you know.
And if Miss Chrysalis
We're "out," oh, my! what bliss!
She'd try to reach the sky
Don't you know
But everything must grow,
Some fast and some most slow;
But grow they must! you know

Married without Their Knowing 1t
Father Then of Wichita was in
town day or two ago and told the
following story:
"You never heard of the time l
married couple before they knew 1T?
Well, soon after was made priest,
1 was engaged to perform a marriage
ceremony. 1t was to be swell we'd
ding. I arrived at the house rather
early, according to request, and was
taken up stairs at once. There laid
aside my hat and overcoat, and then
the brides mother knocked at the
door, and said her daughter wished to
see me. OF course, I obeyed the sum-
mons, but was surprised to learn that
the couple wanted the marriage cere-
mony performed in an upstairs room
Immediately. I thought it was very
queer, but went through the ceremony,
and married them fast and sure right
there. When the ceremony was over,
the bride said: Now, we will go down
into the parlor and be married
"'But you are married already,
exclaimed. L can't go through the
ceremony again
ssAnd then I learned that all they
wanted was to practice the cere-
mony, SO as to go Through it properly
when in the midst of their friends.
But there was no help forit, Married
they were, and I couldn't repeat the
ceremony, which with us is sacra-

A Talented Convict Carves His Petition
for q Pardon.

for q Pardon.
Gesa Berger, the actor and newspa-
per man. has a picture in caligraphy
that has a remarkable history. tits in
size thirty by forty-two inches, and is
the work Of Joseph Loew, the most
noted counterfeiter that the Austrian
government ever knew.
When an application is made for
pardon in Austria the red tape policy
of that country compels the applicant
to address the emperor with all his
titles Emperor ferdinand had about
forty titles. Loew engraved all OF these
names, together with his petition fora
pardon, on a cherry stone.
The letters were so fine that 1t re-
quired the aid of powerful micro
scope to decipher them. One day when
the emperor visited the prison Loew in
person presented n cherry stone to the
emperor and told him what it con-
tanned. The emperor made an exam
ination and was SO amazed at the work
that he gave him an unconditional par
don. Not only did he pardon him, but
gave him a position as detective to
trail down counterfeiters. Loew was
a well informed man in all the arts and
rascalities of counterfeiters, and in
less than two years after his pardon
he ran to the earth almost every coun-
terfeiter in Austria, and died few
years ago covered with detective hon
ors. The picture, although make fifty
years ago. is in q remarkable state OF

DUN's REVIEW.

New YORK. March 30.-R. g. Dun and Com
pany's Weekly Review of Trade says:
"The more active tone in business this
week is, in part, due to the belief that no dis
turbance of the currency will be permitted,
but other causes helped forward the improve
ment. The approach of spring compels the
dealers to repienish stocks and the aggregate
OF orders, if smaller than usual this season. is
distinctly larger than in January or Febru-
airy. Except in speculative markets. prices
do not Recover, and in some instances have
gone lower but the absence OF sensational
records inspires hopes that the bottom may
have been reached. Business though small,
is exceptionally cautious and safe and its
slow gain is more encouraging than heavy
expansion.
Wheat rose briskly with reports due every
year about April /, that great injury had been
sustained. Later accounts were better and
prices fell closing cents higher Sor he week,
Western receipts for four weeks have been
only S29 063 bushels against ii ,522 14j last
year, but eX ports are very small. Corn re-
ceipts for four weeks have been II. 773 AS BUSH
els against 1885, lis last year, so that the ton
ma. of the two grains taken together is as
large as year ago.
Failures for the week number go in the
United States, against Ice last year, and 80 in
Canada, against Is last year. The liabilities
for three weeks of March thus far reported
have been Sl0, COL SOL of which 81 69S, llS were

SPARE THE BIRDS.
A Protest Against the Wanton Destruc-
tion of tho Feathered Tribe

An American dealer sold last year
two million bird skins. Ali were used
for ornamenting wGman's attire. Wom-
en- ought to cry down this vanity that
feeds and pampers the destruction OF
the feathered tribes. The birds sac
riticed are, of course, those of richest
plumage, and, of course, also, those
that will be least easily replaced.
In fact, if this thing continues Amer
lean bird life of the gentler order will
pretty soon become extinct Is not the
warfare the American Humane society
has opened upon the bird-skin traffic
wholly justiiable? We think SO. The
destruction referred TO contributes not
one whit to human need nor human
comfort 1t adds nothing to the intel
lectual, nothing 10 the mental II Is
simply wantonness practiced at the
beck Of fashion, and as silly and
meaningless fashion, too, as ever was
spawned from the brain OF a man mil
liner.
There are birds in plenty that shed
their pluInagc, to supply the vain de-
mand for flaming headgear. Why
should the fashion nouarchs be ine1or-
able, and also demand the bodies Of our
feathercd son2sters?

GOETHE AND REVOLUTIONS.

A wen-Known and Very Characteristic
Anecdote Of the Great Author.
Goethe's wide grasp Of the physical
researches Of the day and his intense
interest in scientific progress were kept
up to the last. The weight OF four
score years had not the effect OF mar
rowing his outlook There is we'll
known and very characteristic anec-
dote of him in the evening of his life
which may be recalled as illustrating
I'm few lines what he was and what
he was not, says Temple Bar.
Itwas the 1st of August. 1880. The news
of the French revolution had reached
Weimar that morning and all was
IN commotion. On entering Goethe's
room his secretary, NJ. SOret, was &C
costed with the exclamation: Now,
what do you think of this great eventP"
"a frightful story" answered Soret,
"but with such a ministry what was to
be expected but the expulsion Of the
royal family?" 1--WE do not appear. to
understand each other" said Goethe,
ever Indifferent to politics, even when
boiling up into revolution; 81 am speak
ing of the contest so important for
science between Cuvier and Geoffroy
St. Hilaire, which has come to an open
rupture in the academy"
Goethe, it must be remembered, con-
sidered the question at issue as mat
ter of the greatest Importance to the
future of science. He was greatly re-
ioiced over the fact that the youthful
physicist, st. Hilaire, had shown him
self so powerful an ally of his own fixed
idea of the synthetic manner of look
ing at nature. 1t was a fine burst of
enthusiasm of Goethe's, when. during
this same interview with his secretary,
he exclaimed:
What is all intercourse with nature,
II we merely occupy ourselves with in
dividual material parts, and do not feel
the breath of the spirit which pre-
scribes to every part its direction. and
orders or sanctions every deviation by
means of an inherent law! i have ex-
erted myself in this great question for
fifty years. At first l was alone, then
found support, and now at last, to my
great joy, / am surpassed by congenial
minds"

instinct of self-preservation in man.
said a St Louisan TO q Globe-Dem-
ocrat man, until l witnessed test of
il on a steamboat Among the passen-
gers was o man who had a black rat
tlesnake in box with glass top.
The snake was very vicious one and
would strike the glass whenever any
one approached The owner of the
reptile challenged anyone in the crowd
to hold his finger on the glass and
let the snake strike at it. There could
not be any danger and there was not a
man who did not think it an easy thing
to do. One big fellow, who looked as
if he never knew what nerves were,
tried it first, and, after repeated at
tempts. gave it up. Then every pas
senger on the boat attempted it, and
failure followed in each case. 1t sim
ply could not be done Instinct was
stronger than reason and will power
combined. I witnessed another illus
tration of this in Paris. A young man
had lost his last sou at a gambling
table. Not only was he without
means, but he had lost large sum be-
longing to his employer. He started
for the Seine to drown himself. On
the way there was great commotion,
caused by the escape of tiger from a
ktrolling menagerie. The animal came
down the street and people fed in
every direction. Instantly the man
who was seeking death climbed a
lamppost and hung to the top of 1t,
trembling in every muscle. When the
animal was captured and the danger
was over he went to the river and COM
mitted suicide. l was interested in
the account of the suicide, and
prompted by curiosity, went to see the
body, instantly recognizing it as that
of the young man whom l had seen
make so frantic an effort to escape
death. evidently but few minutes be-
fore he sought it and at the very time
that he was seeking an opportunity to
end his existence"
