How the Court Divided.

WASHINGTON. A,ril . The effect OF
al tn, opinions delivered by the SUI
prcmc court in the income tax case is
To show that the court was unanimous
in The opinion that the law is uncon-
stitu;innal rs to municipal and state
bInd,: that Ciicf Justice Fuller and
justices Firl |. GRAY. brewer, Brown
and Shira, hold il to b. invalid on in
comes derive from rents. and
that Justices Harlan and White
d scented from this opinion rs To rents.
II is impossible to state the exact
division as to the validity of the other
parts OF the law further than was dis
co al by the proceedings. 1t appears
quite clear that Chief Justice Fuller
and Justice, Harlan AMI White voted
10 sustain the other parts of the law.
and the bet opinion obtainable is that
Justice brown stood with them in this
opinion. which would leave Justices
Field. Gray Brewer and Shiras as the
opponents of the law rs whole.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Trcasury Of

TO form an accurate estimate they ex.
press the belief that the net result OF
the decision will he loss OF ut least 50
per cent. in the receipts from incomes.
In some cities the loss will he far

OF Washington, where the loss is ex-
pccted TO reach ~ per cent.

however. is not the only cause of regret

the court was evenly divided on the

A conspicuous difference between the
Englien and Chinese dramas is ex.
planned by the fact that, whereas in
the former love holds a leading part, in
the latterit is relegated to a secondary
place. In England it is passion; in
China sentiment only; hence the
thousand intrigues love gives rise to
are, in the latter country, either thrown
into the shade or tabooed entirely.
Without their ardent passions many OF
our theatrical productions would lose
their interest and most of their merit.
An English, or. to use q wider term.
European play-goer. requires a due
quantity of love. In China. on the
other hand, this demand finds little
echo, since love there is not the chief
theme of bard and painter. Conveu
ton and the strength of parental au-
thority have crushed, in great meas
ure, those amorous longings which
exist in the human heart; and as love,
ccurtship and matrimony in the far
east are even more prosaic than in our
part Of the world, the first of these
feelings. If handled a. passion. can

MIsFoRTuNEs OF BIRDS.
Queer Accidents Which Have Resulted I'm
Death.

Queer Accidents which Have Resulted I'm
Death.
have noticed in a New York paper
an account of strange misfortune
that happened to an English sparrow
at the building of the Edison labora-
tory, Orange, N. j. The bird became
entangled in a Irvine used in the con-
struction of its nest, and met its death,
by hanging. This has reminded me OF
similar incident that occurred to a
bird last summer, near Bowling Green,
KY. 1t was common or crow black
bird, and was seen hanging by the
neck from the limb of tall tree over
hanging the road. Whether in flying
with long grass or string it became
entangled with it or in what way it
got caught in the moose and met its
death, is matter of conjecture.
queer incident of a woodpecker has
come under my notice. The bird,
hairy woodpecker, was seen on tree
trunk, and though a stone was thrown
toward it to see it fly, it remained in
the same position. On going nearer,
it was found that the bill had been
driven into the tree with such force
that the bird could not extricate it,
and had hung there. meeting q miser-
able death.
have heard from friend of an in
teresting life history of mockfng
bird. 1t was quite Young bird when
purchased from negro bird catcher,
and 1t was soon discovered to have
sore feet. These were swollen twice
the natural size, and though efforts
were made to relieve this, it was only
after it had lost several of its
toes-two front toes on one foot and
one on the other-that the feet were
finally healed. After this it moulted,
losing about all its feathers at one
time. Its eyes then became infamed,
and the eyeballs like drops of water,
finally closed and the bird became to-
tally blind. In getting it's food it
would stand at one side of the cage
and follow the wires till it reached
the food. it would then follow the
side Of the cage till it reached the
water 1t soon learned, however, to
gauge distances, and would fly to the
perch without fail. It was pitiable
object, but strange to say, this poor.

veloped into one Of the finest OF sing

HORNS OF THE BRONZE AGE
The Finding of Battle Trumpets OF Old
Denmark.

The Finding Of Battle Trumpets Of Old
Denmark.
Among the masterpieces of the
bronze-worker which have come from
that olden time to us are great bronze
battle-horns, called by the Danes lur.
These are truly gigantic. Twenty
three specimens have been found in
Denmark. all in peat hogs. and most
of them in pairs. For years a dozen
of these lurs hung in the museum
silent. Recently DIR. A. Hammerich
secured permission to study them as
musical instruments and to test them.
Finally, these were played upon be-
fore large and enthusiastic audience,
the king himself being present. Only
few times since have these old horns
been sounded, but on one of these oc-
casions we had the good fortune to be
present. Two players from the opera
were the performers; the court
of the museum was filed with
hearers. Wonderful, is it not, that
horns two thousand years old, buried
for long centuries in peat boys, should,
after this long silence, still be capable
VI giving ouo SACoA, ring AAS OsCA
sweet-topes?
The conditions in which these lurs
are found are most sugg sstive-always
in peat bogs, usually in pairs. This
could not be the result of accident.
Other objects are found purposely laid
away in the same manner; thus ten
bronze hemispherical plates were found
at one spot; nine fine bronze axes, all
of one form, at another. Similar clus-
tiers of celts, spears, ETC., are not un-
common. On one occasion about one
hundred miniature toats of thin
beaten gold were placed in vessel
and buried; such occurrences are not
completely understood. - Prof. Fred
erick Starr, in Popular Science

How This Necessary Operation May BE

There are a few things that give q
hat a more rumpled and shabby ap-
pearance than an ostrich feather limp
and detected, looking almost as for
lorn as when it and its fellows arrived
here fresh from ostrichland Anyone
seeing an ostrich feather then would
think it only fit for the ragbag, but a
series of brisk scrubbings in warm
soapsoads on dashboard, judicious
patching together and elimination of
ragged places where Sir Ostrich has
preencd himself too vigorously, curl
ing and combing, soon make of the os-
trich feather thing of beauty and
Joy forever-untilitgets wet-when the
process of regeneration again becomes
necessary.
If taken to my lady milliner or the
less pretentious feather renovator
every time this duty becomes impera-
tive, the ostrich plume becomes meta
morphosed into something of an ele.
plant to one who bears not Fortunatus'
purse; but the restorative process is SO
simple, when one knows just how, that
every woman can readily become her
own feather artist"
Have a teakettle full of boiling water;
shake the feather vigorously through
the escaping. steam, taking care that it
does not get too damp. This livens up
the plume and restores brilliancy If It
has become dull and dusty. Next take
silver fruit-knife and, beginning with
the feathers nearest the quill, take a
small bunch between thumb and fore
finger and draw gently over the blade
of the knife until they curl as closely
as desired. Follow this process up each
side of the tip; then take a very coarse
comb, comb out carefully, and you
have your plume as good as ever.-N.

A NEeRo's GRATITUDE.


An Instance OF Rare FAIthYu3neDs ON the
Part Of an Ex.Slave.
A wealthy slave-owncr of the cotton
belt entered the southern army.
fought hravely and brilliantly, and
died in one of the closing battles of
the war. His widow was left penni-
less, with large plantations incum-
bered with mortgages, and hundred
or more emancipated negroes who had
ceased to be her property.
Her business affairs were mismen-
aged by agents and lawyers, and she
lost one plantation after another Her
health failed, and in her old age she
became wholly dependent upon one Of
her former slaves.
This negro was grateful to her for
having given him a start after the war.
Learning from experience that she
could not manage her plantations sue
cessfully, she had rewarded the fideli.
ty of small group of emancipated
slaves by deciding over to them out.
right small farms. This negro received
in this way farm of twenty-six acres
with a cabin.
lie prospered from the outset He
made living out of his ground, and
saved every year little money. In
the course of few years he bought
another farm and doubled his re-
sources. Other purchases followed.
until he was truck farmer with con-
siderable wealth.
He did not forget his old plantation,
mistress in his prosperity. When she
had lost all her property, and there
was no other friend to take care of her
in her old age, this negro rescued her
from restitution. He became her most
faithful friend.
Both are still living. On the first
day of every month the negro farmer
draws check for one hundred dol.
lars, and sends it to the aged lady
whose slave he was in boyhood. Al
first she was unwilling to become his
pensioner, but he pressed help upon
her with tears in his eyes, telling hel
that he would never have got on in the
world if she had not generously aided
him by giving him the first farm.
His bounty is now her only recourse
and no millionaire in the land is hap
pier than he is when payday" comes
around, and he can send his check tc
his kind hearted 'sold misses"
The other negroes whom she be
friended after the war have been either
improvident or ungrateful, but one al
least had the energy and thrift re.
CURED for making him well-to-de
farmer, and the heart to take compass
sion on a friehdless and unfortunate
woman who had once been kind II
him.
This is a true story. which illustrate:
the tender feeling sometimes existing
between the negro and his former mas
ter, and the gratitude which goot
treatment may inspire even in de
spised race. Youths Companion.
