gentleman yesterday. "For several
months past / have been engaged in

children. chose a room in the stable
in which to do my work, for, with the

terry superintendent Life.
The mayors Of great many silent cities
in the United States recently met In Phila-
delphia. They were the members Of the
organization known as the Association Of
Superintendent Of American Cemeteries,
and their eighth annual meeting was held
for the purpose Of exchanging ideas and
discussing plans for the improvement Of
the silent cities Of the dead that are in
their charge. Tho idea Of forming an as
ISOLATION of humanity's last landlords orig
mated with Charles Nichols, superin-
tendent Of Fairmount cemetery, Newark,
y. J., about o or 10 years ago, and Mr..
Nichols is consequently referred TO affec-
tionately by his fellow members as Father
Nichols.
In 1887 10 superintendent met in Gin
cinati and formed the association. 9th
er meetings have since been held in Brook
Ign. Detroit, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore
and Minneapolis, and every year the men,
bership has grown until at present nearly
all the superintendent of large cemeteries
In the country are on the roll. At each
meeting papers on topics pertinent to the
work of the members are read, ideas for
identifying and managing the cemetery
are suggested, and the delegates return
home well burdened with new plans
for improving the silent cities they rule
over.
At the Philadelphia convention one Of
the subjects was How to Manage Mod

province OF man alone. The end of the

Despite these athletic achievements,
however, Miss Clark is no headstrong I'M

Miss Clark is the daughter Of DIR. j.

simple, sensible and unconventional. Her
outer clothing is Of canvas, the skirt hare

ENGLISH BIRDS OF SONG.
Tho List includes Some Twenty-Five, with
the Nightingale First

In round numbers the chief song birds
of England amount to about 25, 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
its infinite variety, as many as 10 differ
emit beginnings and closes having been
noted in the song of a single bird Be
ginning, like many famous master Of
eloquence, in a sound of infinite and
tender sofness, 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 fine and deli
cate thread Of such exquisite and keen
sweetness as to pierce the very heart
In the calm stiffness of a summer even
ing this dainty note may be heard
through half mile of silent, listening
woodland. Next to the nightingale,
come the three happy singers-the sky
lark, woodlark and titlark-each hay
ing a 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.

headed by the linnet. who stands fifth
on the entire list and carries off lin 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 day:
deserves a whole column to himself
To these, however, must be added the
blackcap, who, for beauty, power anC
fiutelike brilliancy of song, excels al
other of these happy minstrel but th'
nightingale himself.-Quiver.

srn Cemetery" and during its discussion
tho odd fact developed that one Of the
greatest stumbling blocks in the path Of
the superintendent is the cemetery dead
beat, who Is as live and troublesome in
the walks Of death as the "deadbeat" In
other walks Of life. He buys lot on
credit, inters his dead therein and then re
fuses 10 pay. The association decided that
the only manner In which &c deal success
fully with the cemetery deadbeat was to
insist upon payment before interment.
One Of the most successful plans for
managing a cemetery is the mutual plan,
by which every lot owner IS a member Of
the cemetery association and has a vote at
all regular meetings. During the conven-
ton Superintendent o. c. Simonds, who
recently returned from abroad, declared
that America could learn nothing Of value
from studying even the newest Of the old
world cemeteries. He said that in some
English cemeteries, as in English railway
trains, there were first, second and third
class sections. In Pcre lie Chaise the land
was all taken up in small lots large enough
for one grave, but each grave was from
80 TO 90 feet deep and was full OF collins
from top TO bottom. During the past year
the associations president was William
Salway, superintendent OF Spring Grove
cemetery, Cincinnati

KIDNEY TROUBLE.

testimony Senator Henry G. Nelson Of New

taken with . violent pain in the region OF
the kidneys. / suffered such agony that

using ALLcocK's Porous PLAsrKRs in my

they are the best plasters In the world"
