-=a---=7--7-- FEARS OFZBlRDS.
It Is the Result of Persecution and Not of
 Instinct,

It Is the Result of Persecution and Not of
 Instinct.
 This may be fitting place to glance at the instinct of fear in birds. Mir. Hudson does not accept without more than the proverbial grain of salt the Darwinian theory that birds instinct ively fear man, and that the instinct is hereditary. We note in this matter, as in many others, Mr. Hudson's capacity for looking at things as they exist, and his unwillingness to square unusual or exceptional phenomena with precon- ceived ideas and ready-made theories. even when widely accepted by eminent scientists. He boldly faces the mex plicable, and has no fear of being dee clared unorthodox. He objects to Dar- wins theory on the ground that the growth of an hereditary instinct of fear would require more than the theory provides for Instincts prac- tically endure forever. and are not pre-. sumably acquired with such extraor. dinary facility" Shyness in birds, he thinks, is the result of persecution, and young birds learn the habit from their parents. This persecution is not neees- sarily persecution by man; it may be by other birds Mr Hudson often found birds in the desert, to whom the human form was almost unknown, shyer than in the vicinity of human dwellings, Young domestic birds are tanner than old ones, evincing little if any instinctive fear of man. Suspicion has it's root in the strangeness of an object, or in experience of mans de- struetive power; confidence springs out of familiarity and experience of mans kindness. Fear of man is an associated feeling. London Quarterly.

THE HERO oF TRAFAleAR.

Nelson Grew from Feeble Lad to tho
 Greatest of Naval Commanders.
 When Horatio Nelson was a lad of ten he was sent to boarding school. Being wasted by quinsy and naturally of small stature, to his fellow students he seemed quite insignificant He was soon recognized, however, as the most daring boy in the school.
 One dark night a council of war was held regarding the capture of pear tree which stood short distance from the dormitory, When every one else had refused to undertake the job, Nell son offered his services.
 A rope was tied around his waist and he was literally tossed over on the tree. Though attended with great exertion and no little danger, he accomplished the feat, returning with an armful of pears which he immediately distributed among his schoolmates.
 The same year he was sent to sea, and two years later joined an Arctic expedition. One morning, when their vessel was frozen in off the coast of Greenland, Nelson persuaded two sail ors to steal out and kill polar bear that had been prowling about
 When the bear was attacked, it be- came very cumulative, and the sailors beat hasty retreat leaving Nelson to follow. Instead of doing so, however. he kept on fighting and would certain ly have been killed had not the ice on which he had been standing broken off and foated away.
 On the 1st of July, 17as, Napoleon Bonaparte, intent on conquering Europe, landed sixty thousand French veterans at Alexandria, Egypt. Nelson, with the English fleet, pursued him, and on the first of August, at ten a. m., sighted the port and distinguished the tri-colored flag of France.
 All the captains were now called toe gether to decide on the method of ate tack Capt Berry, enthusiastic over the plan adopted, cried out: If we succeed, what will the world say?''
 "There is no if in the case, 9 replied Nelson. 'That we shall succeed is cer- tain. Who may live to tell the story is very different question.
 At six thirty p. m. the battle began. Nelson had his colors flying from six different parts of the rigging, so they would not be shot away.
 When they got within short dis tance of the French the thirteen Eng fish vessels opened a terrific broadside, and in thirty minutes the battle of the Nile had been fought and won.
 During the conflict Nelson was struck on the forehead with shell. Carried to the cockpit in supposed dying eon- dition, he refused to be attended until his turn came, saying: q will take my turn with my brave fellows g When the sailors learned his wound was not fatal, many of them cried for joy.
 Immediately on seeing that the bat tie was over Nelson gave orders for all the crews to thank the Almighty for the great victory, and 1t is said that the French grenadiers, with Napoleon at their head, stood silently drawn up in line at Rosetti and wondered at the sudden lull in the battle.-Boston Her. ald.

Illustrated by the Melancholy Experience
 of MT. Ingram Potters.
 Ingram Potters is very nearsighted, a defect that has caused him no end of annoyance. He would pass friends upon the street without recognizing them, and, being wealthy, the seeming snubs were ascribed to naughty spir it. Sometimes he bumped into people apparently on purpose, so that he mar rowly missed blow now and then from an irate individual.
 His wife pleaded with him in vain to correct the failing by recourse to the optieian; but Ingram is just old enough not to be willing to seem older, and he was deaf to all her entreaties until-but here is the story in a few words:
 The other evening he returned home in high spirits, a successful turn in stocks having netted him several thousand dollars, and bursting into the sitting room, rushed up to female seated in his favorite chair, kissed her ardently, and began:
 "Martha--'
 To his utter consternation there was sudden shrinking from his embrace, duCt bHS COlui uuny III JbohOGAC NOiSS 0A the pretty wife of his next door neigh bor said:
 How dare you, sir? I'll inform my husband at once of this outrage"
 "Gracious heavens, madam" he cried, half beside himself with confusion and shame, Git was all mistake; don't think anything more of it, I beg you. Why, if I had known it was you T-I, why, honestly, madam, l wouldn't kiss you knowingly if you were the last woman in the world.
 The apology capped the climax It was interrupted by hysterical tears from the pretty woman, who rushed in indignation from the house. What with the wrath of her husband and the jealousy of his own wife, Ingram was driven half distracted for the next twenty-four hours. He now wears glasses of double magnifying power and carries two extra pairs to guard against ceidents.-Chicago Tribune.

 Pipe Smoking as an Art.

Americans, as rule, do not take to pipes as much as Englishmen, for the reason that very few of them know how .to smoke. They carry their impulsive, Energetic natures into their pipe smolI- ing and puff away as if their existence depended on finishing the pipe in given time. have seen an American and an Englishman sit down for quiet smoke and chat and the American would fill his pipe twice to the English mans once. A pipe, to be enjoyed, should be smoked slowly, but the art in smoking so is to keep the pipe lighted This is knack which seems to only be well understood on the other side of the pond. The average American pipe smoker uses match after match with every pipeful. People come in to select tobacco, and the one IA ing they seek fort is the constant .cry-is a tobacco that will not bite the tongue" There Is no tobacco that will come up to this requirement. if smoked as pipe smokers usually do. It gis not the tobacco, but the heat from the fire in the bowl that burns the Hongue. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

PoIynesian Immigration Again
Persistent efforts have been made to
introduce Polynesian laborers, but the
results have been very unsatisfactory In
1877 Captain Mist was sent to Fiji and
New Zealand to inaugurate emigration
from the islands of the South Pacific to
this country. He purchased the brig
Storm Bird and sent her on cruise to
Rotunlah and the neighboring islands
for laborers. Several trips were made by
this vessel, under Captain Jackson and a
Mr.. Freeman.
The bark Hawaii also made several
trips to Micronesia, while the Pomare
was sent to the New Hebrides. The
Hawaii was wrecked on Tarawa, January
%, 1881, and the Storm Bird on Bonham
island the following August, while re-
turning South Sea Islanders to their
homes. During 1873 and the following
six years nearly 1900 Polynesians,
mostly from the Gilbert Islands, with a
sprinkling OF black Melanesian canni-
balls, were introduced into this country.
1t was a costly experiment. Neither as
laborers nor as citizens did they give sat
isfaction, and nearly all of them have
| since been returned to their homes.
