DREAM TRYsT.

The breaths of kissing night and day
Were mingled in the eastern heaven.
Throbbing with unheard melody,
Shook Lyra all its star chord seven
When dusk shrank, cold and light trod>shy,
And dawn's gray eyes were troubled gray
And souls went palely up the sky
And mine to Lucide.
There was no change in her sweet eyes
Since last saw those sweet eyes shine;
There was no change in her deep heart
Since last that deep heart knocked at mine
Her eyes were clear, her eyes were Hopes
Wherein did ever come and go
The sparkle of the fountain drops
From her sweet soul below.
The chambers in the house of dreams
Are fed with SO divine an air
That Times boar wings grow young therein,
And they who walk there are most fair.
joyed for one, joyed for her,
Who with the past meet grit about,
Where our last kiss still warns the air,
Nor can her eyes go out.

WEAKNESS OF HUMAN NATURE.

''Do you remember me?" inquired the
man as he quietly slipped up to the city
editors desk.
81 can't say that d." replied the city
editor. looking him over carefully.
"You remember I was in here some
time ago giving policies of insurance on
punches of keys?"
''sOh, yes, remember now. I took
one."
'Of course. All wise men do. At the
same time, if you recall it, told you
had great scheme for insuring umbrel-
las on the same plan?''
II believe do recall it. How did it
come out?'
The man threw up his hands hope
lessly.
"Well," he said, ''before that week

ENGLISH BIRDS OF SONG.

The List Includes Some Twenty-Five, With
the Nightingale First.
In round numbers the chief song birds
of England amount to about %, among
which the nightingale reigns chief and
supreme. 1t is almost impossible to
frame any accurate table Of the compar-
alive beauty and merit Of these varied
and happy songsters, but the attempt
has been made by an earnest student of
nature, who devoted many years to this
one express subject, and some of his
notes are of curious interest.
At the head of the whole list stands
the sweet bird of night for mellowness
of tone, compass and execution and an
Unborn plaintiveness of melody which is
almost wholly his own. Pre-eminent,
too, among the beauties of its strain is
it's infinite variety, as many as 16 differ
ent beginnings and closes having been
noted in the song Of a single bird Be
ginning, like many famous master Of
eloquence, in sound of infinite and
tender softness, he gradually breaks in
to deeper and fuller expression, reserv-
ing all his strength as if for some sud-
den touches of passion and delight, and
then dying away into a fine and deli
cate thread of such exquisite and keen
sweetness as to pierce the very heart
In the calm stiffness of summer even
ing this dainty note may be heard
through half a mile Of silent, listening
woodland. Next to the nightingale
come the three happy singers-the sky
lark, woodlark and titlark-each hav-
ing special excellence of his own, the
two latter singing both while on the
wing and when at rest, their song being
full of sweetness, variety and swift
changes, and the first SURPRISING even
the nightingale in the rapid snatches of
sprightly joy with which he rises up to-
ward the blue ether
And, ever rising, wins his liquid way.
Then follow the whole throng of finches,
headed by the linnet, who stands fifth
on the entire list and carries off Gin these
days of competitive examination) "A
marks out of possible 100 for compass,
execution, sprightliness, plaintiveness
and mellow tone. Far lower down on
the list come the better known and more
popular methodists, the blackbird, the
thrush and the white throat, the reed
warblers and the robin-who, by the
way, during the silent autumnal days
deserves a whole column to himself.
To these however, must be added the
blackcap, who, for beauty, power and
fiutelike brilliancy of song, excels all
other of these happy minstrel but the
nightingale himself

The tornado and the cause Of its for
nation seem to be less perfectly under
stood than even the ever mysterious cleo
tricity. That tornado has violent
spiral motion and u distinct ascending
movement is well established The rapid
rotary motion tends to form vacuum
in the center of the funnel shaped vol
ume, and this sucking force brings about
devastation. When a tornado surrounds
house, tie air inside of it. forces the
walls asunder instantly.
But the inception Of a tornado and the
causes which lead up to it have not yet
been discovered. The scientist tells us
that the air Of valleys becomes heated
and rises, cold air rushes in to take its
place, the wind hits against a hill, is
changed in its course and goes cavorting
down the valley, and that makes tor
nado. Bnt what gives it the twist? And
there are no mountains in the Missis-
sippi valley, but cyclones form there
Weather bureaus, with all their costly,
delicate instruments, have never YET
satisfactorily explained what gives the
tornado it's twist. The world is looking
for man who can discover the tornado
in its native lair and definitely define,
distinguish and describe it. All this is
for the benefit Of our neighbors of the
east, for the tornado never visits Cali
fornia.-San Jose Mercury.

man and ComptroIier carson.
The annual report OF Dog Catcher Cole
man, which MAS printed in the Posr-Is-
rELLTsEscER yesterday morning, does not
agrce with the records Of the comptroller
oiflcs or the police department. The re-
port says that from June 9, 1893, to Feb
Tuary I, tea, 1888 licenses were issued
As matter of fact only i,2I3 licenses were
issued from April 1. isa3. TO February /,
1891. and from June 2. 1888, TO February 1,
iSa. only 6.2 were issued Dog Catcher
Coleman explains the discrepancy By say
ing that he got the wrong figures from
the license records. Again the report
says N,sfT were received from licenses,
whereas the figures obtained by the Posr-
lNrELLicEscKR reporter from the comp
trolier's office gave the amount from April
|, ls33. TO January l. 1894. as s., 1903. Add
to this 50 received during January and
the total amount is si,3l2, a difference of
$685. from the report.
The report says rs dogs were redeemed
and the fines from such releases amounted
10 SIG. Tho police records she W that
only nineiy-six dogs were redeemed.
which would be equal TO SOS, while Cole
man explains the discrepancy by saying
he Appropriated. In the statement ap-
pended TO his report Coleman said five
dogs had been redeemed in January. Ifthat
statement Is true, the money has not been
turned in, but Coleman said yesterday
that 1t was really not true.
