There can be no Disgusting the

A Birds Revenge.

A lady who was one day watching a
pair Of redstarts as they worked in a
tree was startled by violent commo-
tion that arose in the shrubbery hard
by. Catbirds screamed, wrens scoldeG
and the robins shouted "Quick!' with
all their might. A chipmunk was drag
ging baby catbird by the leg from its
nest and all the birds round about had
come to help make a row about it, in
cluding Il Baltimore oriole. The scream
ing and the swish of wings as the birds
darted about made the squirrel abandon
its prey and then the commotion sub
sided as quickly as it had risen. All the
birds but the oriole went about their
business elsewhere. The oriole had not
said word so far, and beyond the coun-
tenancing the hubbub by his presence
had had no part III it.
The squirrel, having dropped the
baby catbJd, cooked itself upon limb
and began TO chatter in defiant way,
while the oriole sat not far away look
ing at it, but doing nothing else. But il
q few moments the squirrel left it's seat
and ran cut ON the limb it had been sit
ting on until it had TO use care to keep
its hold, and then the orioles opportu-
nifty for terrible assault had come.
Flashing across the space he struck the
chipmunk in one eye with his sharp
pointed beak, and then turning instant
ly struck the other eye i'll like manner.
Quiveriug with pain, the squirrel let &c
the limb and dropped to the ground,
where it rolled and struggled about ap-
parently in the throes of death. The
oriolo flew away to his favorite elm,
where he sang in his most brilliant fash
ion. The lady put the squirrel out of
its misery and then saw that the oriolc
had destroyed both eyes.-Chicago Rec

THE CIRCUS RING.

It Il Always Exactly Forty-two Feet Nine
Inches In Diameter.
In various ways the circus Of the pres
ent day differs from that of the past,
but the ring remains unchanged. 1t is
always 42 feet inches in diameter. Go
where you will, search the world from
China to Peru, with diverging trips to
the frosty Caucasus and the desert Of
Sahara, and never a circus will you find
without a ring AZ feet 9 inches in di-
ameter.
There is a reason for this remarkable
uniformity. Circus riders and circus
horses are nomadic. Wherever their
wanderings bring them they must find
the ring always the same, else they
will be disturbed in their performance,
if not really rendered incapable. Trained
to the AZ feet inch ring, the horse and
his rider have grown used-worn, one
might say-to the exact angle of de-
clivity toward the center of the ring
which the radius of 81 feet and given
speed produce.
The mound ON the circumference of
the ring always has on the inside lev
el, so to speak, of earth, at the same
angle rs that into which radius and
speed throw the driver. As for speed,
that, after the horse has gone round two
or three times and is warmed to his
work, is the same through the act. In
fact, strap generally holds his head
SO that he cannot get beyond a certain
pace.
The ringmaster snaps his whip, the
clown shouts, the band plays louder and
louder, but the horse knows just how
much this empty show means and jogs
on at the same old pace until, with the
last jump through a tissue balloon, the
act is ended. Exchange.

The Roman Legionary.

The Roman legionary is a parsonage
of remarkable interest. He is indeed the
first soldier whom we seem to recognize
as such-a disciplined man of the high
est training, with pride in himself, con-
fidence in his leaders and considerable
esprit de corps; in fact, a warrior whom
thesmodern soldier can take to his heart
There were legions and legions, of
course, as i'll modern armies there are
regiments and regiments. Some indeed,
like the famous Tenth, enjoyed even a
nickname, 1.-THE Larks" (Alauda). The
men, if we are to believe Vegetius, suf-
fering from the same weaknesses, could
be raised by the same means to the same
excellence as the veterans of the penin-
sula war. As to the lighter moods of
the Roman legionary, are they not i'm
mortaliZed in the name of q Roman
emperor?
Tacitus tell us how Germanicus, al
ways popular general, having had q
son born to him in the camp, dressed
the lad like little soldier, complete
even to his boots (caliga), in the hope
of pleasing his men. The men of course
made pet of him and called him Cali
gula, or Little Boots, and it is by bis
camp nickname of Little Boots that
Claudius, son of Germanicus, lives in
history to this day. 1t is a curious ex-
ample of the persistence in the nature of
fighting men. Cochrane's rough Chill
can sailors dressed up his 5-yearzold son
as tiny midshipman and made pet
of him in the same way.-Macmillan IS

THE PAsEO.

The wavering heat is broken by long roWD
OF slim acacias, palms and alamos.
In brave attire there walk, between,
Jose, Andres and Agustin.
Andres, Jose and Agustin
Stroll down the alameda slow
Meath spreading boushs with p1ats between
Where rose and belled granada grow.
Tall gray sombreros, silver trimmed.
Bedecked with spansles, ample brimled,
Shade from bright rays by clouds undimmed
The eyes of all.
They loiter on with airy grace,
a turn of head this way and that,
While sparkling smiles light mp the face
Accenting gay, thc1tric chat.
Their jaunty jackets reach the waist,
With rows of buttons closely placed,
And braided trousers, tightly laced,
Costumes complete.
A greater charm is found by far
Than shade, bright flowers and tropit
weather
In Juana, Inez and Leonor,
All pretty maids who drive together,
Clear olive faces, lips of red
But back of them the warder's head,
The duena, accredited
For watchful eyes.
The wavering heat is broken by long rows
OF slim acacias, palms and alamos.
In brave attire there walk between,

An interesting instance Of color MIN

south Of France. The spiders Of that re-
gion when in search Of prey hide in the
convolvulus flowers. 1t has been noticed
that a white variety of spiders frequent
ed the white flowers, a grccnish colored
variety made the green flowers his home,
and pink one lived principally in the
pink flowers. The colors of the three
varieties were at first supposed to be
permanent, bu>it has recently been dis
covered that the color of any one of
these spiders changes within few days
if the insect be placed i'll the convolvulus

which he has been using as his home.

yellow in color-were all put i'll box

The Eighteenth District Lesson,

fCorin Herald.
The lesson in the Eighteenth dis
trict of this state is so plain that he
who runs NAV read. With every ad-
vantage In his favor the democratic
candidate for congress in that dis
trict is defeated by majority so de-
cisive that even the most ignorant
need not he unable to understand.
To understand the decisiveness of
the lesson taught. brief review Of
the circumstances is necessary. The
democratic convention in that dis
trict was dominated bv Chairman
Ilinrichsen and his friends, who had
openly asserted that they would
carry II on the free silver issue. II
was claimed that the free silver senti-
mcut among democrats in that district
was "a strong IL not stronger than in
any other district in the state. The
convention met and declared most
emphatically in favor Of free silver.
Ii placed on this platform man
who was most decidedly in favor of
free silver. The chairman of the
state democratic committee. himself
free silver man. unqucstionably
used all the funds he could obtain
and that was mt the service OF the
committee. TO carry this district. As
IL was the first time the question had
come up for popular submission in
the state. and as the chairman had
been put on record and was deeply
interested in bringing about free
silver victory. every device was used
to accomplish his purpose. In order
that there might he no misunder-
standing as to the meaning Of the
victory which he confidently antici.
pated. free silver orators of national
reputation were imported into the
district from neighboring states, and
none but free silver men were al
lowed to make speeches on the demo-
cratic side. All the power Of the
state committee vested in the hands
of Chairman Hinrichsen was exerted
for the one object Of gaining free
silver victory in the Eighteenth dis
trict. and the iiercest battle which
that district. with u normal demo-
cratic majority Of nearly 5000, has
ever witnessed was waged. On the
other hand. the republicans were dis
couraged. The congressman they
had elected from that district in the
year which witnessed that phenome.
nal landslide to the republicans,
died. and the man who was nominat-
ed rs the candidate to succeed him
also died ut the beginning of the
campaign. Under these circum-
stances it was difficult to get candi
date to run on the republican ticket.
and the man who was finally
nominated was generally regarded
rs weak man. Besides the
disadvantages'of nomination made
at such late hour that IL was i'm
possible to properly canvass the dis
trict, he was a man who had been
placed in opposition as legislator
20 important measures Of labor legis-
lation. and the district embraced n
large number Of workingmen. Gov.
Altgeld. who is exceedingly popular
with the workingmen, went into the
district and made speeches against
him. With all these advantages in
favor OF the democrats. and all these
ominous circumstances arrayed
against the republicans. what is the
result9 The republican candidate

Flinders Petrie, the archaologist,
while excavating among some ancient
Egyptian tombs, found wreath of roses
which had been bound into a garland
and buried with the dead thousands of
years ago. NJ. Crepin, the botanist and
microscopic, made a careful examina-
tion of this queer find and prepared a
paper on it, which he read before the
Royal society Of Belgium. From this
paper it appears that in places where
the flowers were matted together they
still retained their color as well as a
very faint odor. The species to which
they belong is now extinct, but a rose
resembling them in several particulars
is still grown in Egypt and Abyssinia.
