THE BIRD IN THE BELFRY.

A bird in the belfry
Scars and Sings-soars and sings.
While the bell in the belfry
Rings and swingS-rings and
swings.
Cheerily now from his tiny throat
His notes in a burst of rapture float;
For the bird so high in the belfry
tower.
Seems to feel a joy in the passing hour.
The bird in the belfry
Scars and sings-soars and sings,
But the bell in the belfry
Tolls and swings-to,ls and swings
And now l know this birding gay
Sings for himself the iyelCng day:
A hermit is he in his lonely tower,
Bridal or bier have DER him no power.
0 bird in the belfry
Not like thee-not like thee,
Does my heart in its music
Ask to be-ask to be;
Its notes must smile, if others are glad.
Its notes must weep, if others are sad;
And sooner far would | keep with the
crowd
Than sing alone on the fairest cloud.

OBJECT LESSONS.
Prof. BillrOth Had an Effective Wav
of Teaching Observation.

Westminster Gazette: A pupil OF
the late Prof. Billroth, in a communi-
cation to the Kleine Zeitung. saws
that the great surgeon used to tell
his young hearers in the lecture-room
that the two main faults of the sur
geon were a neglect Of the gift of
observation and a self-satisfied deIu-
sion that they practiced it. He had
a favorite experiment with which he
used sometimes to test the presence
or absence of this gift in new pupils.
'NoW, gentlemen" he would say,
'"look at ne and do exactly what |
do" He would then thrust one of his
fingers into a basin of dirty water,
raise his hand to his mouth and stick
one Of his fingers between his lips.
All his hearers, as they imagined,
thereupon initiated him. ''Ah, gentle
men," BillrOth would then say, what
a defect of observation! You have not
observed that l put my forefnger into
the dirty water and placed my second
finger into my mouth. You have all
placed the same finger into your
mouth which you had thrust into che
dirty water. [ hope you like the taste

SUPERSTITTOUS TRAVELLERS.
A Veteran Passenger Conductor Talks
Of the Whims of Tourists

Pittsburg Post: No one but the eX-
Just how whimsical and cranky the
travelling public really is. A traveller
may have some peculiar fad or notion
when he is on the road, but he never
dreams that there are thousands of
others just like him, or perhaps worse.
In years of experience the conductor
rubs elbows with all sorts Of people,
and face reader who takes a back seat
for no one except the professional.
Eyes, travellers are superstitious and
cranky" said a veteran knight Of
the punch, yesterday, in response to a
query. 81 think the average passenger
conductor deals with more oddities
daily than the curio collector of a
freak show. AS tC superstition, I
think there is more of it crops out on
trains than anywhere else Last week,
Just as the train was ready to pull
out for Chicago, well-dressed man
came out of the coach on the platform,
and in an agitated manner asked me
what day it was.
Il told him it was Friday, and with
out another word he re-entered the
coach and in a moment returned with
his luggage, and by way OF eXplana-
ton stated that he never began q
journey on Friday, and would wait
until the next morning. That is only
a sample. The much-mooted unlucky
thirteen is perhaps the cause of more
worry and inconvenience to tourists
than any other sign which they deem
of ill-omen. I have known passengers
to begin at the head of the train to See
if they could find number thirteen any.
where.
teen they would resignedly wait for
the next train, and if they succeeded
in finding number thirteen on any of
the coaches they would hold up their
hands in holy horror. [ have seen
passengers refuse to ride in a coach
which held thirteen passengers, and if
you will ask any ticket man he will
tell you that of all sections in a sleeper
thirteen is the most difficult to dis
pose Of.
Then aside from the superstition
which prevails among the travelling
public there are countless passengers
who are cranky, and if they lose a
chance to kick are in a bad humor for
a week afterward. They kick for a
seat in the center of the coach; kick
because the train goes too slow or too
fast; kick because they are in a
draught, or because it is too hot. And
the worst of it all is that when they
kick I am the individual who is called
up to hear them, as if I were response
bic for the whole business.
About the only time when some fell
lows don't kick is when they are on
their honey-moons. Everything goes
on as smoothly as if it had been or
dered, but let the same men ride on
the same train five years later and the
chances are they'll kick themselves
into exhaustion"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1894-07-12

cred by an uncomfortable desire to
live in the country, writes Robert J
8urdetate in an inimitable article on
Making a Suburban Home in the
July Ladies' Home Journal A rail
road man, who doesn't know for the
life of him which end of the pillow YOU
ntcn the horses to, is always longing
TO go on farm; a successful mer-
chant, who vaguely knows that you
dig potatoes, although by that he
rather understands that you mine
them, as you do coal, bankers, after
a certain time Of life, for a CHEAP
little place, not too far from town.
where he can sink an artesian milk
Wen anu raise his own bananas OF
which he is very fond. And l once
knew an able and eminent lecturer.
who had lectured on The Pyramids
Their Cause and Effect" for twenty
years, and who was far more afraid
OF horse than a tramp is of work.
AMI who thought that COWS shed their
horns every spring, from which source
the brass bands renewed their supply
OF instruments. Well, that man left
the platform at last and invested the
sEoils of many successful lecture tours
in stock farm. We cannot help it:
out of the dust we came; back to the
SOIL we are drawn. We are children
OF the earth, and we do love to creep
back into the mother-arms, and get
our faces down close to the sweet
old mother-heart, when the shadows
begin to grow long, when the days of
the second childhood come upon us.
and the time draws near when she
will take US into her arms for the
last time, and hush us to sleep on her
cool breast

Tune-"The Old Oaken Bucket"
How dear to our hearts is our demo
cratic congress
AS hopeless inaction presents it to
view;
The bill Of poor Wilson, the deep
tangled tariff,
And every mad pledge that their
lunacy knew;
The widespread depression, the mills
that closed by it.
The rock of free silver where great
Grover fell.
They've busted our country, no use
to deny it,
And darn the old party, it's busted as
we'll.
This G. CIevenland congress,
This Queen Lilly congress,
This wild free trade congress
We all loved so well.
Their moss-covered pledges we no
longer treasure,
For often at noon when out hunting
job
We find that instead of the corn they
had promised,
They've given us nOthing-nOt even
a cob.
How ardent we've cusSed 'em with
lips overlooking
With the sulphurOus blessings as
swear words fell,
The emblems Of hunger, free trade and
free silver,
Are sounding i'll sorrow the working
mans knell.
This bank-breaking congress,
This mill-ClOSing congress,
This starvation congress
We all love so well.
How sweet from their eloquent lips
10 receive it,
Cursed tariff protection no longer
uphold"
We listcned-and voted our dinner
pals empty,
The factories silent, the furnaces
cold.
And now far removed from our lost
situations,
The tear of regret doth intrusiveIy
swell
We ycarn for republican administra-
ton
And sigh for the congress that
served us SO we'll.
This fifty-third congress,
This democrat congress,
This sugar-cured congress
We wish was in-well.
