Birds for Ornaments.

Years ago, says writer in Hdrper'S
Young People, | had beautiful FIN
given me-a fan of white swans down
with carved ivory handle. In the
very center of the fan was beautiful
little yellow bird with its beak wide
open. A dear little girl took the fan
in her hand, looked at it very pitifully,
tears welled up in her sweet brown
eyes, and she said, pointing to the open
beak: THAT was where the last song
came through" When you think of
the free beautiful life of bird con
slider what wonderful creatures birds
are, how much they know, how much
intelligence they devote to the building
of their nests and the rearing of their
young, how sweet their singing is, how
much they do to save our harvests by
devOuring insects which would other
wise destroy the farmers crop, you
cannot but be sorry that thousands of
them are annually killed simply to adorn
the bonnets of women and girls. Each
of you girls will be women before a
great many years, and in childhood you
might as well begin to take the stand
for kindness and pity toward amin ais
which all women should take. Speak
ing of dead birds makes me think of
living ones. Some of you have birds
in cages. 1t is not cruel to have lit
tie canary bird in cage, because for
generations the birds have been accus-
toned to the life of the cage, and many
of them would perish If they were set
free; but when you have pet OF any
kind remember that it will thrive or suf-
fer according as you care for 1t wisely
or neglect its comfort. All little Great
ures which are under our care need our
love. If you undertake to look after
any pet see that its home is pleasant,
that it has its food and drink at regular
times, that its bed is clean, that it has
as much liberty as it wants, and, above
all, talk to it and assure it of your pres
ence and your pleasure in it. PETS
suffer great deal from loneliness. Ii
is quite pathetic sometimes to see how
glad little dog or cat is when its mis-
tress returns at er an absence. The
poor little thing has felt desolate while
she was gone, and yet did not know
how to express its yearning.

Instinct Betrayed Him.

curious story is told by our Vienna
correspondent A young man, the repre-
sentative of large firm, who carried a
large sum Of money with him, recently
spent the night at hotel at Presburg.
AS usual, he remained some time smoking
In bed. Suddenly the burning cigar fell
TO the floor. He bent over to extinguish IT,
when he saw a hand projected from under
Che bed put the cigar out. 1t made him
very uncomfortable He lay awhile, and
then, saying aloud: How very cold l
shall get my fur coatl' he jumped out of
bed flew to the door and cried for help.
Inc would be robber was caught He con
fessed he knew the occupant of the room
had money, which he hoped to get while

On the Decay of Paper.

TIE introduction of wood fiber into the
manufacture of paper, its economical pro
duction and the attractiveness of the arti
Gle so produced have combined to tempt
the paper maker not to make for all
time" but for the day, and only sufficient
for the day is the evil thereof.
Modern methods of book illustration re-
quire paper of fine, even surface, with
the property of semiabsorption of printers
ink, and this latter requirement. has re-
suited in the very considerable use of
what is known as half sized" paper
1. e.. paper which has but small proper
tion of gelatin or other size, on which
the permanent cohesion of the paper de-
ponds. Such paper cannot resist the in
fluences of alternate variations of temper
ature and humidity to which all books
are exposed and thus ultimate decay Is
probable.-Notes and Queries.

The Man Who Knew 1t All.

He knew 1t ALL and from his birth he was child of
light,
Nor never did he once admit another was right,
An thus through seventy years of life he bravely
toiled along,
Himself exactly allus right, the hull wor allus
wrong.
He'd tear yer argimunts right down from suller
stairs to gable,
He'd dispute the ten commandments an the null.
pi'caton table.
An contervert the almanick stubborn as a mule
An conterdict the calendar an 'spute the golden
rule.
An wen lad he went to school an did sums on
his tlate,
He'd wrastle with the teacher in thirteen hour
debate;
She'd show him tibet the 'rlfentic wus dead agn him
strong,
An then he'd Jest set down an prove the rfentic
wrong.
An she couldn't get him in hole frum witch he
could not climb
He'd swear that two an nine hree an prove it
every time;
An as his argimunts warn ed up the holder would
he grow
He'd prove that six times eight one, an make
her see twas so.
His neghbors couldn't git roun' the wretch an
didn't dare to shoot him,
The school marin caved right in to him, the parson
dash't 'spute him,
You might quote the law an prophets but no facts
he ever dreaded
He would wade into his argimunt an go for 'em
bald-headed.
You might hur yer keenest logic, but logic ever
scat him,
You might pelt him with your school.books you
might throw yer Bible at him,
All the more thet you threw at him all the more
would he be merry.
For he'd wrastle with the hymn book an he'd
throw the dictionary.
But one day he wuz taken SICK they called the doc
tor in,
The doctor said, you're very u' it only made him
grin.
"You have the typhoid fever, SIR" Says he, "'Tis
my desire
To demonstrate to you forthwith that you're a
reckless liar"
An then he suit right up in bed resolved to disagree.
An prove unto the doctor he jest well as he
But the death rattle in his throat choked up his
voice ere long,
He died precisely as he proved that he wuz well and
strong.
He proved that he well ana strong, an then lay
down an died
satisfied.
The doctors head with fattery filled up to the
Coz man, 'ceptin' he before he'd got the best of
him. -Yankee Blade.

An Easter Poem.

See the land, her Easter keeping,
Rises as her Master rOse
Seeds so long In darkness sleeping
Burst at last from winter SHOWS.
Earth with heaven above rejoices;
Fields and gardens hail the sprii x;
Wales and woodlands ring with voices,
While the wild birds build and sing.
You, to whom your Maker granted
Powers to those sweet birds unknown,
Use the craft by God implanted
Use the reason not your own.
Here, while heaven and earth rejoices,
Each his Easter tribute bring
w rk of finger, chant of voices,
Like the birds who build and sing.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Something that Pays.

1t pays to wear a smiling face
And laugh our troubles down,
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of a smile
our doubts will fade away,
As melts the frost In early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
1t pays to make a worthy cause.
BY helping 1t, our own;
To give the current OF our lives
true and noble tone.
1t pays to comfort heavy hearts,
Oppressed with dull despair,
And leave in sorrow-darkened lives
one CLEAN of brightness there.
1t pays to give a helping hand
To eager, earnest youth;
To note, with all their waywardness,
Their courage and their truth;
To strive, with sympathy and love,
Their confidence to win,
1t pays to open wide the heart
And "let the sunshine in"
