A BIRD CHOIR IN CHURCH.
The HONS Object Lesson Taught by a
Cincinnati Pastor.
From the New York World


Cincinnati, o., May 13.-Pastor Dob
bins, of the Lincoln Park Baptist church.
inaugurated a beautiful new feature of
his services to-day. He announced that
he would preach two sermons in refer
ence to spring, one on the growing season
and the other on song birds. Accordingly
he asked that members of the congrega-
ton, as many as could, bring canary
birds 10 church.
The result was that there were forty
cages of birds in the church this morn
ing when the service opened. The cages
were hung from the gas brackets, around
the walls and on the sides of the organ.
The rustling of fans, the noise of turning
leaves and the murmur of voices before
the service began, started the little warb-
lers to work.
At first they twittered and called to
each other, then began to sing. Softly
first one, then another, each gradually
gaining confidence and increasing the
length and strength of his song, until,
finally, when the organist began the vol
untary and the loud notes, the whole
flock brought forth in burst of melody
All through the service they kept it up
increasing or diminishing their notes as
the noises in the church gave them the
cue. The same experience was repeated
in the evening. Mr.. Dobbins spoke OF the
birds affording good example for the
human race, in that they worked indus
triously early and late, raised their young
and taught them how TO take care of
themselves

was Lizzie Patterson, daughter of poor
farmer. Owens met her a few DAYS ago
on the road near his house, and being
struck by her beauty, stopped his buggy
and asked her if she would marry him
if her parents consented. Lizzie said
she reckoned she would, blushed and ran
home.
Owens followed and made his proposal
to the old folks, but met with the most
decided objection, being rejected by Liz
zie's father, who handled the elderly
sutton rather roughly. Owens, however,
seems to have won the girls favor, and
two days ago he sent her word that if
she would come to the spring near his
house he would meet her there.
She came, barefooted and wearing the
red gown and sunbonnet. This did not
make him hesitate. He picked her up
bodily and carried her in his arms to his

HYE I MORRISON.

The first place he went to, so the French
account runs. was the home of his sweet
heart. On approaching it he was sur
prised to hear her screaming. The door
was shut, so that he burst open a window
and thus got into the house, when he
found the girl struggling with drunken
German officer. Mad with rage, the
young F'renchman shot the German, and
Tor this he was seized ard summarily
shot, without even courtmartial trial.
Half dozen German soldiers placed him
against wall and pointed their rifles at
him. At that moment the young girl
rushed forward towards her sweetheart,

ANOTHER MISTAKEN IDEA
Another fable Of the desert found in
the school books everywhere is that the
camel carries a water reservoir in its
stomach, and that the Bedouius of the
desert when they are near death from
thirst kill the camel and greedily drink
the water supposed to be in it's stomach.
In the desert the fable is unknown. Peo-
pie whose home is in the desert can bear
thirst much easier than we can. The sons
OF the desert have peculiar idea that we
live IN lakes and swamps. and that we
carry on a semi-amphibiou existence,
for TO the Arabs the great quantities
OF liquids we drink are as enigmati-
cal as their abstinence therefrom
To US two days existence in the desert
without drink is sure death
Nachtlgal relates that the Tubu tribe of
the Sahara think nothing of it to march
four days without drink of water at
night they travel, in daytime they rest in
the shade of some huge rock, being care
full not to multiply the craving for water
by unnecessary movement or too much
food. But if four DAYS have passed his
mind becomes clouded and he makes one
more attempt. He fastens himself tight
to saddle of the camel and hopes the in
stlnct of the animal will lead him to a
pool of water. The camel also is a real
child of the desert and can, without
DOUBT, exist from five to ten days without
water.
Another fable, or rather let US call it
an erroneous idea, is the superstition that
1t will he possible TO transform the Sa-
hara into sea by connecting it with the
Mediterranean or Atlantic. Scientists
have carefully measured the altitude of
this desert and have found that, with a
few trivial exceptions, the Sahara is in
its entirety complete plateau which can
never be reached artificially by the
waters of the oceans. The idea to inun-
date this desert is simply out OF question,
and, therefore, the fear that by so doing
the climate of Southern Europe might
change is without foundation.
On the other hand it is within the reach
of human ingenuity to bore artesian wells
and by so doing create new GASES and
reclaim. a great portion of the Sahara for
men and civilization. Experiments have
proven successful, One artesian well in
the Algerian Sahara gives 5000 quarts of
water per minute.

The colonial ball which took place in
Atlanta, Friday evening, at the Kim ball

failed to do so. The neighboring cities were
poorly represented. Augusta had no rep

there were present Miss Coval and others.
